I recall someone somewhere using a comparison to the Lord of the Rings to show off how bad the Night King death was, not sure if it was someone here who said it, so I apologise if it was.
Imagine if in an alternate reality, we had The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, exactly as we watched them. There is this journey to destroy the ring, people die, there is this big battle fending off the Orcs/Uruk-hai and it's time for The Return of the King. 10 minutes into the film, Gandalf uses magic bullshit to get to Mount Doom, uses some magic cup to take some molten lava from the Mountain, go back to Frodo, and get him to drop the ring inside. Sauron dies, all Orcs and Ringwraiths are killed, and the rest of the film is about Aragorn mustering up an army to fight Denethor. Imagine that Denethor manages to kill off a few heroic characters who survived the two other films using human soldiers when the forces of darkness couldn't.
That is the stage Game of Thrones is at...
And then after all that shit, Tom Bombadil of all people gets crowned king.
