You had, like, three scenes in season 1. Why did you pick a fight with the Kingslayer? These are the characters we think most likely to die in season 8 We hope they all have their affairs in order.
1. The Mountain: 100%. Ugh. We did not get CleganeBowl like we’d hoped, but the Mountain is still technically dead. So here he sits, our honorary captain.
2. Beric Dondarrion: 85%. Should he prove to have survived the fall of the Wall, the army of the dead is still lurking about. Out of the fire and all that.
3. Tormund Giantsbane: 80%. The same goes for Tormund. We can only hope that he goes down swinging at a giant. He gets the edge on survivability because his character is more popular.
4. Dolorous Edd: 75%. The Night King may not decide to bother with Edd’s tiny force at Castle Black, but Edd may go charging into the breach anyways. He is the shield that guards the realms of men, so he is doomed.
5. Yohn Royce: 70%. Royce survived Littlefinger’s downfall, but he and his Vale cavalry may be the first of the living to fight the Night King, which is bad, bad, bad.
6. Lord Glover: 65%. Glover’s home of Deepwood Motte is on the western coast of the North, so if he went home, he’s safe. Otherwise, Glover will likely be on the front lines.
7. Yara Greyjoy: 55%. We expect the Greyjoy drama to resolve itself quickly and bloodily. We’re guessing one of the siblings will die in the rescue attempt. And sadly, it might be Yara.
8. Theon Greyjoy: 50%. What could be more meaningful to Theon than dying in a noble attempt to rescue his sister? Redemption story ho!
9. Euron Greyjoy: 50%. Euron won’t take a rescue mission lying down, but he’s gotta go sooner or later. Why not sooner?
10. Gendry: 45%. If Gendry remained at Eastwatch, he’s a goner like Beric and Tormund. But what if he went back south with the Hound?
