To emphasize: This is not an attempt to identify the most evil villain, or the one who’s committed the most heinous acts or collected the most kills, or the one who produced (or will produce) the most satisfying defeat. Given that abundance, before Season 8 premieres this Sunday, we sought to rank the show’s most compelling villains thus far. Within the Lannister family alone, Game of Thrones features more memorable villains than the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Yet it’s also because Game of Thrones is a hotbed for villainy, with the past seven seasons promoting plenty of power players, opportunists, and just plain evil people. This hedge is in part because so much mystery still shrouds the Night King, so it’s a challenge to identify just how compelling a villain he might be. The story’s ultimate villain has at last arrived on the main stage.īut is he the ultimate villain? Ultimate as in final, maybe, if the remaining human antagonists die before the heroes confront the Night King for the final battle. The leader of the White Walkers guides his massive undead army south, riding mightily atop his new dragon steed, bringing with him the Long Night redux and, perhaps, the end of Westerosi civilization. The Night King, as of the end of Season 7 of Game of Thrones, has breached the Wall.
