it is women who endure

What I would have been fine with: The valonqar actually being Tyrion after all and him somehow making his way to Jaime and Cersei and killing Cersei, finally fulfilling the prophecy

What I wanted: Jaime to profess his love for Brienne as he wraps his arms around Cersei's neck and kills her. We see the true pain that comes with this because he does love Cersei, but it's an understanding that this isn't a healthy relationship and that Cersei has aided in every bad thing Jaime has done in his life and that in order to truly have redemption and try to be a better person, he needs to choose humanity and kill his relationship with Cersei, no matter how painful. After years of believing and being told that he has no honor, he finally chooses to be good and, of course, fulfills what Cersei heard all those years ago, and we -and Cersei- realize that her paranoia of Tyrion was all for naught because she was focusing on the wrong person the whole time

What I expected: A subpar scene where we get enough shock from Cersei to make it all worth it, but ultimately Jaime kind of just kills Cersei and either dies or goes back home. Boom, prophecy fulfilled character arc done
