With the Premiere of Game of Thrones Season 5 just 2 days away, all us GOT fanatics are as excited as we are scared – which characters are going to face their gruesome demise this season? Fans are well aware of the fact that in this Game, you win or you die and nobody’s safe, no matter how important their character may seem. So here are some characters we hope do not join the list of the deceased.
1. TYRION LANNISTER
Oh, I am guilty. I’m guilty of being a dwarf. I’ve been guilty of that my entire life.
A very small man can cast a very large shadow and Tyrion has indeed cast a large shadow on all our hearts, with his quick wit, intelligent smirk and the constant Joffrey-slapping. It wouldn’t be an understatement to call Tyrion the most loved character of Game of Thrones. His death would undoubtedly be the most heart-breaking moment on TV.
Now that he is up for a meeting with Danny, we cannot wait to see what he has in store for us all.
2. DAENERYS TARGARYEN
Yes. All men must die, but we are not men.
Danny, we appreciate the confidence but we wouldn’t want to provoke G. R. R. Martin.
Daenerys Targaryen grew from being a naive and helpless girl to a powerful woman, who has the potential to rule the Seven Kingdoms. The Mother of Dragons seems like the most probable candidate for the Iron Throne and we do not wish to say goodbye yet.
3. JON SNOW
First Lesson, stick ‘em with the pointy end.
Jon Snow may know nothing but he sure does know how to survive 4 seasons of GOT. His hotness is reason enough to keep him alive but apart from that, he will have a major role to play in the fight against the White Walkers. But we’d like it if he smiled more in the season to come.
4. ARYA STARK
Nothing isn’t better or worse than anything. Nothing is just…nothing.
The feisty little Arya Stark is as sharp and quick as her little Needle. And more than anything, we all wish that she’d become stronger than ever and avenge the deaths of her family and gets the chance to cross off names off her list.
5. SANSA STARK
The worst ones always live.
There used to be a time when we all hated Sansa and her shallow love for Joffrey. Like, seriously? JOFFREY? But in a way, she dealt with the worst and managed to come through stronger. And we’d like to keep watching that strength of character for many more seasons to come.
6. MARGAERY TYRELL
I want to be THE Queen.
Margaery Tyrell’s agenda is clear and simple. She wants to be the Queen and we would love for her to replace Bitch-Queen Cersei. Someone who was capable of wrapping Joffrey around her finger would actually become a good Queen. Not to mention, her amazing sense of fashion. Yes, we’re all jealous of her alluring gowns.
7. SAMWELL TARLY
I always wanted to be a wizard.
Samwell is not only Jon’s best friend, he is also one of the cutest and cuddliest characters in GOT. And his blossoming love story with Gilly just makes us root for him. And now, he has a kid to look out for. We would hate for anything to happen to sweet Samwell or Gilly and her child. Please Mr. Martin, do not be that cruel.
8. BRANDON STARK
He killed a guest beneath his roof. That’s something the Gods can’t forgive.
Young Brandon Stark went from being a sweet child to the strongest of the Stark kids. He is a character that is not concerned about the Game of Thrones and is preparing for something much bigger and more dangerous. Bran may just save every one’s ass while they are engaged in the fight over the Iron Throne. And of course, we’d want the loyal Hodor by his side always.
9. PETYR BAELISH
A man with no motive is a man no one suspects. Always keep your foes confused.
Why would anyone want LittleFinger to survive? Well, because he’s the most simple yet the most complex character in GOT. And we have to admit, what fun is the Game of Thrones without a man like LittleFinger to tip the scales of power? His unpredictable nature has us all reeled in tight and it’d be a shame if he dies too soon.
10. VARYS
Power resides where men believe it resides. It’s a trick. A shadow on the wall. And a very small man can cast a very big shadow.
Lord Varys’ character is probably the most ambiguous in GOT. Varys, with his shadowed persona is hard to figure out and untrustworthy. While every character has their own goals, Varys claims to be serving the realm. But that is too straight to be true. And we’d like to keep watching the Spider until we find out what web he’s been spinning.
