<p>Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey has come forward to respond to how the hit HBO fantasy show wrapped up the fate of her character, Cersei. <strong><em>You can see her full quotes down below the image; beware, these are significant spoilers.</em></strong></p>

<p>Cersei and her brother-lover Jaime died in Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 5 when they were crushed under rubble during Daenerys&#8217; assault on King&#8217;s Landing. Many fans remarked that her death scene left much to be desired, and it turns out that Headey also wanted something different.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/jun/16/lena-headey-cersei-death-game-of-thrones-the-flood-interview?CMP=fb_gu&amp;utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Facebook">She told The Guardian</a> that she hopes to catch up with Game of Thrones showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff over a few drinks, at which time she&#8217;ll tell them she wanted Cersei to die another way.</p>
<p>&quot;I invested as a viewer and I have my favourite characters. And I&#8217;ve got a few of my own gripes. But I haven&#8217;t sat down drunkly with David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss] yet.&quot; She said she&#8217;ll tell Weiss and Benioff, &quot;I wanted a better death.&quot;</p>
<p>Over the years, Game of Thrones has aired some gut-wrenching and climatic death scenes, but Cersei&#8217;s lacked the same kind of emotional punch in the eyes of some viewers. Headey admits that no death scene will please everyone, but she still wished for something more.</p>
<p>&quot;Obviously you dream of your death,&quot; she said. &quot;You could go in any way on that show. So I was kind of gutted. But I just think they couldn&#8217;t have pleased everyone. No matter what they did, I think there was going to be some big comedown from the climb.&quot;</p>
<p>Overall, though, Headey said she enjoyed the years she spent working on Game of Thrones. &quot;It was amazing,&quot; she said. &quot;And things end and you move on.&quot;</p>
