Hell hath no fury like a Game of Thrones fan whose favourite character has just died. Don’t believe us? Just take a look at the reaction to the hit show’s season five finale.

So, it was traumatic viewing for anyone with even just a partial interest in the series. Stannis’ died; Sansa and Reek jumped off a wall in a bid to escape from Winterfell dead or alive; Arya brutally murdered Meryn Trant before going blind; Myrcella died in Jamie’s arms; Cersei did the ultimate walk of shame (naked, obviously) before being greeted by the mute Mountain; Daenerys comes across a giant hoard of Dothraki; and then, as if all that was not enough, Jon Snow is stabbed (a lot) by his fellow men of the Night’s Watch for being a ‘traitor’.

As we said, hell hath no fury like a Game of Thrones fan whose favourite character has just died. And below is the evidence; take a look at some of the tweets poor Brenock received after the show aired. To be fair, the young actor took the abuse well, retweeting his favourites and laughing along with the fury his character’s betrayal had caused…
