At the end of Season 8, Episode 3, the Night King met an ending no one saw coming. People thought he might be killed, but how the deed was done was surprising. Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) came in at the last moment, when all hoped seemed lost, and put her Valyrian dagger in his guts.

Considering how we had long heard that Jon Snow (Kit Harington) needed to be brought back to life in order to save Westeros from the Night King and his undead army, quite a few fans were disappointed that this is not how it all played out. However, some longtime Arya fans were happy to see her come through to save everyone.

Scroll on for a look at how the Internet reacted to the surprising way the Night King met his end.

Not Realistic

This fan did not believe Arya could run that far, that quickly.

So you’re telling me Arya ran like 5 miles in 15 minutes, through a shitload of wight walkers and was still able to sneak up on The Night King and stab him to death WHILE being choked?

I’m starting to think this show isn’t realistic.

Cliche?

One fan thought he saw the ending coming.

Review of third episode: much much better than the first 2. Sort of cliche ending with the night kings death. Biggest question now is where do we go from here

No Big Battle With Jon

Jon Snow was robbed of the chance to be a hero!

I thought the main characters would each take out a white walker or at least a few of them. And no death match between Jon and the Night King?

Cheap Death

One fan thought that was a cheap ending for the Night King.

I thought that was a cheap death for a night king

Anticlimactic

One fan thought it was an anticlimactic ending.

#AryaStark with the Dame Lilliard shot from the logo on the #NightKing. Very anticlimactic death for him. #GamefThrones

Wanted a Better Death

This fan really wanted a better death for the villain.

Idk but I was expecting a lot more on this @GameOfThrones episode and a better death to the night king. And if he was anyone important…

No Action

This fan wanted the Night King to talk and engage in a bigger sword fight.

Lowkey disappointed the Night King’s death. I wanted to see a lil sword to sword combat between the Starks & the White Walkers. Maybe a lil dialogue.

Something Was Missing

This fan really thought something was missing about the death scene.

i expected the night king to live longer and be more involved in the fight. sump felt missing in his death.. that and mi kinda stressed out cause my stream froze for like 10mins before that scene so
