24. Literally Had the Worst Death

Look, Robb messed up. We get it. He made a deal and then went back on his word for love. It was terrible and he deserved to be punished for it. But he did not deserve what happened to him. For those who don’t know how Robb dies, let me explain. (Why are you reading this if you don’t know?)

Robb is killed by Lord Roose Bolton. When the Red Wedding happens, Robb’s wife Talisa, who is pregnant, is stabbed in the stomach. She is murdered, Robb gives up, he’s killed while Catelyn watches on and then she is killed. Honestly it is just a blood bath and it is depressing.

To be fair, that is the point. It is supposed to show how ruthless everyone is and to not turn their back on one another. But like, come on. Robb’s death was unnecessarily brutal in the show. The book was a bit different but it still came to the same outcome. Robb dies and we’re all sad about it.

So we wish Robb was still alive because then this terrible death wouldn’t have happened. We would still have Robb around and we wouldn’t have to think about a baby being stabbed.
