Superstar
i haven't read the books but from people that have and from what's been inferred just from the show, selmy barristan is the ultimate badass, a god-tier swordsman. the guy everybody's been waiting to see in battle. a guy we'd expect to be pulling off some impossible, epic, utterly heroic carnage. then like 45 episodes into the series we finally get the opportunity to see him come through and save the day...and dude gets juked. he was an old man who fought valiantly and took a lot guys with him but damn...this story doesn't give a fukk.
the real gem is, despite all the shyt i've seen during this show, i still thought that he'd make it out alive. way more major players, guys with more screen time, more fleshed out characters...they've been killed too. but i thought he'd make it. i mean, he's selmy fukkin' barristan, he can make a whole kingsguard back down. but he gets deaded by some insurgents in the alley of some basically irrelevant city.
no matter your rep, no matter your status or importance, no matter your goat-level fighting status, your life is up for grabs. game of thrones, brehs.
