History AssholeVictim / GameOfThrones

* Even though it's ''supposed'' to be played out as an AlasPoorVillain moment, [[spoiler: Randyll Tarly was so horrible towards his son Samwell - even outright ''threatening to kill him'' if he didn't drop all his titles and take The Black - that it's nigh-impossible to shed any tears for him when Daenarys has Drogon roast him alive.]]

* She may have given aid to the living forces that helped end the Long Night, but after everything else she did, [[spoiler: particularly her role in driving Stannis off the deep end, Melisandre’s]] death after the Long Night is almost a relief.

* [[spoiler:Ramsay Bolton being fed to his dogs provides quite possibly the most satisfying KarmicDeath in the history of the show, because 1. they only turned on him because he starved them, 2. it was Sansa, a victim of his DomesticAbuse and MaritalRapeLicense, who loosed them on him in an extremely satisfying and literal example of TheDogBitesBack, 3. he is probably ''the'' worst villain in the history of the show, and 4. his death was nearly every bit as gruesome as he deserved.]]

* [[spoiler: [[AbusiveParents Craster.]]]] While Karl Tanner ultimately proved to be no better, fans were still happy to see him ram his knife through the daughter-raping[[spoiler:, infant-murdering]] cunt's throat.

* [[spoiler: [[AbusiveParents Kraster.]]]] While Karl Tanner ultimately proved to be no better, fans were still happy to see him ram his knife through the daughter-raping, [[spoiler: infant-murdering]] cunt's throat.

* Anyone who supported Cersei and gave her an army only to not send them to help with the White Walker threat like [[spoiler: Euron Greyjoy]] did, not to mention a laundry list of vulgar crimes (including kinslaying), does not invoke pity if they’re stabbed by Jaime Lannister.

* [[spoiler: [[DirtyCoward Meryn Trant]]]] was an amoral goon from the start, but the show adds [[PedoHunt pedophilia]] and [[BondageIsBad sexual sadism]] in his last two scenes to remove any doubt.

* [[spoiler: The two Masters who had the gall to attack Meereen, despite being offered a peace treaty and an alternate outcome.]] It is hard to feel sorry for them.

* King Aerys enjoyed burning people alive and his contigency plan in case King's Landing was ever sacked was to blow it sky-high. His last words were: "Burn them all!" He was then stabbed InTheBack [[BodyguardBetrayal by his own Kingsguard]]. Many consider the betrayal itself dishonorable, but ''nobody'' mourned Aerys.

* After the heinous [[spoiler: Red Wedding]], Arya and the Hound happen on four soldiers revelling about it and their rude behaviour when Arya approaches them with murder in her eyes doesn't help their case.

** This becomes a plot point later. Anyone who knows anything about the show knows that [[spoiler:Joffrey is easily the most cruel and rotten person there, and due to his penchant for ordering people to be killed, tortured and publicly humiliated simply because he could do that with no repercussions, the suspect list is pretty much everyone in King's Landing other than Cersei who had the opportunity: Jaime gives absolutely zero shits about Joffrey's death to the extent where he has sex with Cersei right next to his dead body, his own grandfather Tywin doesn't even pretend to feel bad for him and sums up his legacy to Tommen, Joffrey's younger brother and successor, with "he was not a good king or a wise king, if he had been then perhaps he would still be alive" with Joffrey's corpse between them, Tommen shows little emotion over his brother's death, showing more interest in Tywin's lecture on how to be a good king than paying any more respect to his brother (in the books Joffrey constantly tormented Tommen as a child. Though he was relieved that the torment has finally ended in the wake of Joffrey's assassination, he was still horrified by his gruesome death, and still affectionately refers to him as 'Joffy'), Tyrion is accused of killing him and while he pleads his innocence he also doesn't deny that he wishes he had and maintains that frankly the world is better off without him anyway, Olenna Tyrell reminds Margaery, who feels bad about the way Joffrey died, that she would feel far worse had he had lived and they remained married, and that there was no way she would let such a harm be visited on Margaery, Margaery is more shaken up that ''[[CruelAndUnusualDeath he died so horrifically and pitiably]]'' rather than the fact that he died, and even Cersei, the only person to mourn his death, is not above tossing around the idea that her son may have deserved what happened to him. His killers, Olenna Tyrell and Littlefinger admit to their confidants that they had Joffrey killed specifically because he was an asshole. If he had been nicer and smarter, he'd still be alive.]]

* [[spoiler:Karl Tanner]] from Gin Alley was a psychopathic murderer and rapist. Every one was happy to see Jon shove Longclaw through his mouth.

** [[spoiler:Moro's blood riders in particular also count, who are heard saying how they are going to rape a red-haired girl and drown her baby in a lake if he is redheaded too, before they are killed by Daario.]]

* [[spoiler:[[ApologeticAttacker Qyburn]]]] says that, whatever [[spoiler:Pycelle's]] faults, he didn't deserve the death that he receives. Considering that [[spoiler:Pycelle was a shameless weasel who did everything in his power to stay in the good graces of whoever happened to be in charge]], it's easy to disagree with him.

* King Aerys enjoyed burning people alive and his contigency plan in case King's Landing was ever sacked was to blow it sky-high. His last words were: "Burn them all!"

* [[spoiler:Balon Greyjoy]] is an abusive father and SoreLoser who recklessly led his people on a pointless rebellion twice. He returns as callous, belligerent and unreasonable as ever, and is immediately killed in the next scene. He will not be missed very much. Euron, his murderer, even got elected as King of the Salt Throne by playing up his ZeroPerCentApprovalRating.

* It's hard to muster any sympathy for [[spoiler: Rickard Karstark]] as he's executed for murdering two unarmed boys.

* Littlefinger tries to paint Ser Dontos as this to Sansa and the audience. [[AdaptationalHeroism He does not completely succeed.]]

* No tears were shed for [[spoiler: Lysa Arryn]] after her numerous instances of insanity.

* [[spoiler: Joffrey]] spends his final episode putting his {{Jerkass}}ery on full display. His death was few of the extremely rare instances when it was actually celebrated by the fans. [[spoiler: Even Creator/JackGleeson himself has stated that he was glad Joffrey was dead.]]

* [[spoiler: Ellaria Sand and the Sand Snakes. Tyrion is quick to remind her -- and the viewers -- that [[TokenEvilTeammate despite her alliance with Dany]], they murdered an innocent child just to spite the Lannisters, not to mention their coup on Dorne just because Doran wanted peace. By the end of the second episode of Season 7, Euron has killed both Obara and Nymeria with their own weapons and hand-delivers Ellaria and Tyene to Cersei as war prisoners. Once in King's Landing, Tyene is killed by Cersei, who poisons her with the same poison that killed Myrcella, and Ellaria is forced to watch.]]

* [[spoiler: Finally, '''Littlefinger''', the man whose manipulations started the War of Five Kings, killed Jon Arryn, Ned Stark and many other people, brought great ruin to the realm all for the sake of his own ambitions, is trialed and executed by Starks.]]
