Game of Thrones’ Tyrion Lannister Is Going To Die in the Books, Teases GRRM (But Another Fan-Favorite May Now Live)

George R.R. Martin recently told The Hollywood Reporter that he would have preferred a darker ending for the HBO series. He felt the show strayed from his original vision and featured too many characters surviving. Martin admitted he had planned to kill off more fan favorites, stating, “I was going to kill more people.” He specifically mentioned that he didn’t believe Tyrion’s story deserved a happy resolution, as it was always meant to be tragic. He also considered killing Sansa, but acknowledged her popularity on the show might have saved her.
