Game of Thrones has finally concluded, with its last episode airing on Monday, May 20, in the UAE. For many fans of the show, the ending was a bit of a disappointment. But it did lead to some hilarious memes. Here, we'll break down some of the best to come from the series finale. Of course, if you have yet to watch it (but still plan to), beware, because there are spoilers below.
Reacting to Tyrion Lannister trying to convince Jon Snow to kill Daenerys Targaryen:

Later in the episode, there's another big moment when it's decided who should sit on the Iron Throne, with Cersei and Daenerys both dead now.
The big reveal comes with Bran being voted the new King of the Six Kingdoms. Many memes followed.

Some felt like he was probably a bit underqualified for the position compared to others:
Tyrion: People love stories, who has a better story than Bran

Tyrion: Jon Snow should be the rightful ruler. He deserves to be King. He's the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. He knows how to lead. He's the chosen one. The people love him. Convinces Jon to kill Dany.

Some have even joked about how easily the council seemed to have chosen Bran:

While for some the ending was a bit meh, at the very least, fans got to see one character get justice. Jon Snow was reunited with his direwolf Ghost and got to tell him what a good boy he is – which of course made the Twitterverse very happy:

And, despite how disappointing fans found the actual ending, isn't that all that matters?
