Macall B. Polay/HBOThe final episode of ‘Game of Thrones’ had fans firing up the meme machine.- The final episode of “Game of Thrones” aired on Sunday.
- Fans made jokes about the new rulers and the episode’s shocking death.
- They also couldn’t believe the series had come to an end.
- Spoilers ahead for the series finale of “Game of Thrones.”
- Visit INSIDER’s homepage for more stories.
It’s the end of an era: “Game of Thrones” is officially over. After a poorly rated final season, the series finale of the show aired on Sunday night, and fans certainly had thoughts.
The very last episode of the series tied up some loose ends while still leaving many questions open to interpretation. It gave us one major character death and even led to a new ruler.
But most importantly, it gave us all some funny memes and jokes to look at online so we couldn’t feel too sad about the show being over.
Take a look, and, of course, know that there are major spoilers ahead:
We first had to watch Tyrion’s most emotional journey yet, which wasn’t easy

Did you guys remember the acting of Tyrion Lannister (Peter) here. His acting, his emotions was so powerful. He was crying because he knows he tried his best just to protect his family but he failed.

The saddest part of Daenerys and Jon Snow’s scene was Drogon’s reaction

Jon killing Dany was emotional, but others found some humour

Everyone was confused about why Drogon didn’t kill Jon

Sam tried to be fair, but no one wanted to hear it

He also apparently invented plastic water bottles

Sansa, queen of the perfect one-liners, shot down her uncle, and everyone loved it

Viewers couldn’t help but notice that Robin Arryn looked pretty different

But the biggest moment of the night was when Bran decided he did want to be king after all, despite never having shown any interest in it
bran: i’m the three eyed raven now, i can’t be anything else, i can’t be lord of winterfell, i don’t want anything anymore.
tyrion: do you want to be king?
bran: #GameOfThrones #BranStark pic.twitter.com/LXz80hnu9u

And users had thoughts about Tyrion’s name for him
tyrion: “everyone is just gonna call you ‘the broken’ now, like forever”
bran (thousand yard stare): ok— Talia Lavin (@chick_in_kiev) May 20, 2019
They really called that man Bran the Broken I- pic.twitter.com/9yH7dIVAzr

Can't believe they really out here calling Bran "Bran the Broken".
Bran the Wise?
Bran the Time Traveler?
Bran the Raven Man?
Bran the Intense Eye Contact Mans?

Also, Brienne wrote about Jaime, and everyone imagined what she probably should have written

Viewers were left with a lot of legitimate questions
So where did Arya ride the horse? Why did longclaw blink? Who is the Azor Ahai? Why was Jon brought back to life?? who was the green eyes from Melisandres prediction? Why is there so many blanks for a shite happy ending?
— Sir H1 (@H1Babyy) May 20, 2019
Things I will die wondering about:
– The Three Eyed Raven
– Azor Ahai
– The Faceless Men
– The Lord of Light
– Children of the Forest
– The Drowned God

Still, fans had to admit there were some good moments, like Ser Davos’ character development
ser davos changing from an illiterate man to someone who corrects grammar is the only valid character development in #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/BppheieoA4

This is basically true

Of course, Sansa’s new position as Queen of the North was what everyone wanted to see

Plus, at least the Starks ended up where they pretty much wanted to be
Game of Thrones started with the Starks being betrayed and used. But in the end they won and how beautifully did they win. #GameOfThonesFinale#GOTFinale #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/GBJckNVHRD

In conclusion, this will be everyone next week
