Most controversial moments of Game of Thrones

The series' overall conclusion was extremely divisive and generated a petition with millions of signatures to remake the last season. Bran's election as king was particularly controversial, as many viewers did not find it satisfactory or well-justified.

This scene generated enormous controversy due to its explicit violence and because it was not present in George R.R. Martin's books. Many critics and viewers questioned the narrative necessity of the rape and whether it served Sansa's character development.

Although described as a consensual act in the books, the series depicted it as a rape, which caused controversy among fans of the saga. This moment is cited as one of the early examples of the series' controversy surrounding sexual violence.

This scene was heavily criticized for its disturbing nature and because, like Sansa's, it did not correspond with the events in the books, where the act was consensual. The controversy focused on the ambiguity of consent and the depiction of sexual violence.

This was one of the most horrifying and morally questionable deaths in the series, generating outrage over the sacrifice of an innocent child and the cruelty of her own parents. The scene deeply impacted the audience.

This drastic change in Daenerys' character was one of the most criticized points of the series finale. Many fans and critics felt that her transformation was rushed and inconsistent with her character arc throughout the seasons.

This death was shocking and set a precedent for the series: no character was safe, not even the protagonists. While not controversial in the sense of 'poorly received', it was a moment that generated a great impact and debate about audience expectations in fiction.

Considered one of the most traumatic and surprising moments in television, the Red Wedding redefined public expectations of what could happen in the series and the brutality of its world.

This detail, discovered by fans, forced HBO to apologize and digitally modify the episode for future broadcasts. The creators explained that they used rented prosthetics and that it was not a political statement, but the controversy was significant.

This death was shocking due to its extreme violence and the popularity of Oberyn's character, making it one of the most difficult scenes for many viewers to watch.

Although his death was celebrated by many due to his cruelty, the way it occurred and the initial mystery surrounding the culprit generated much discussion and theories among fans.

This death was a cathartic moment for many viewers, given the complex and often abusive relationship between Tyrion and Tywin. The way it occurred added an element of irony and satisfaction for the audience.
