‘The rushed conclusion sacrificed complex character development, such as Varys, for a quick ending.
At the end of its execution, game of Thrones It clearly had some drawbacks. Although the show achieved an uncommon level of popularity during its run, the conclusion was widespread disappointment, and years later, Fans are still angry about this.. While there are many plots that people generally dislike, a major problem was how the show dramatically changed the character traits of its protagonists, abandoning what made them interesting. Of Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) failed redemption arc when he met Cersei (Lena Headey) to Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) crazinessThere are many popular characters that fans can rightly claim game of Thrones ruined last season. But one of the least discussed but equally atrocious moments is the destruction of Lord Varys (Conleth Hill) characterization.
Holding the position of Master of Whispers, Varys often takes a back seat, but he is vital to the show. Varys is called the Spider because he earned the reputation of knowing everyone’s secrets. Throughout the series, he proved to be a valuable player in the game, helping or working against different rulers from his position on the Small Council of King’s Landing. Although he never attempted to seize power, Varys proved to be a competent player in Westeros’ infamous political game. But in the end his whole experience came to nothing. Varys is known for his talent for learning everyone’s secrets and being an expert at manipulation, but what kills him is the sudden and inexplicable disappearance of those abilities.
Varys’ talents kept him alive in ‘Game of Thrones’
Varys is different from the other powerful individuals in game of Thrones. One of the few influential people who is not a high-born lord of the big houses, Varys had particularly humble beginnings. Born a slave on Lys, Varys worked his way up to become one of Robert Baratheon’s members (Marcos Addy) closest advisors, but Doing so required strategy, patience, and manipulation, all of which Varys excels at.. The eunuch rose from the bottom, selling information. Not only did he reach as high as the royal court of Westeros, but he initially supported the mad kinggaining the suspicious man’s trust and managing to maintain his position when power passed into Robert’s hands.
Varys is an invaluable asset due to his vast sources of intelligence. He is always the first to know about a certain event, no matter how far away it happened, Varys is the perfect advisor for a king, especially since his lack of noble blood makes him little of a threat. Still Varys is cunningAnd, as much as he plays the yes man, he has his own code: only truly serve the rulers he believes will benefit the masses. During Robert’s reign, Varys secretly plans the return of the Targaryen dynasty. Him and Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) form a friendship. And when things get bleak for Tyrion, Varys helps him escape across the Narrow Sea and into Daenerys’ service. Always involved in secret plans, Varys’ loyalties are difficult to determine, but He claims to serve the Kingdom because “someone must.” However, in the changing tides of Westerosi politics, Varys has a talent for emerging victorious.
‘Game of Thrones’ forgot a little about the traits that define Varys
Varys continues to serve the Kingdom until his death, but somewhere along the way he loses his undeniable ability to do so. What causes Varys to die is the revelation that Jon Snow (Kit Harington) He is the real son of Daenerys’ older brother. Although Varys cares little about the technicality of the Targaryen lineage, believes that the dear, even-tempered Jon would make a better ruler than Daenerys, as Varys seems to recognize the signs of Targaryen madness that everyone else misses. This choice is quite true to his character. After all, at this point she has served five different rulers. However, his actions do not fit the character.
When Tyrion tells Varys about Jon’s inheritance in season 8, episode 5, “The Last of the Starks,” Varys instantly begins plotting, letting Tyrion know his true thoughts. Sure, they’re friends, but Varys’ utter distrust of Daenerys is dangerous information to give to the Queen’s Hand. Varys has a network of spies but rarely uses accomplices. Tyrion makes it clear that he is not prepared to overthrow Daenerys, but Varys does not carefully hide his betrayal, doing everything but suggesting murder. This continues in the penultimate episode of the series, “The Bells”, when Varys again voices his concerns about Daenerysthis time to Jon, who is as against a coup as Tyrion. Varys doesn’t approach any of these conversations with his usual subtlety or manipulation. Instead, he openly admits his traitorous beliefs and tells Tyrion and Jon in no uncertain terms that he believes Daenerys is an unfit ruler and that Jon should have the crown.
These statements make him a suspect in the murder that, according to him, must occur. A conversation about Daenerys’ lack of food in “The Bells” suggests she was trying to act. The Master of Whispers from season 1 would never be that obvious. When he gets caught, Varys doesn’t try to talk his way out of it. After serving so many different warring kings and queens, Varys knew what was at stake better than anyone and had demonstrated the ability to escape accusations of treason, but he does no such thing. Tyrion finally betrays himtelling Daenerys what Varys is saying, resulting in Varys being killed by dragon fire, but the show betrayed the character of Varys first, by stealing his most vital character traits.

Varys is an example of where ‘Game of Thrones’ went wrong
Varys’ character assassination was far from the only problem in the final season, but shows how far the show strayed from its original characters. Even the Varys actor, Conleth Hill, acknowledged that, but by the end of the show, “Varys was not the omniscient character he had been.” The issue is not Varys’ death, since he has always been involved in a dangerous game, but rather lasting so long in the treacherous world of Game of Thrones, He should have known better than to make the mistake that cost him his life. Varys only functions as a complicated man who always has the knowledge to get the upper hand but never reveals his true goals.
In the plot that led to his death, Varys is a shadow of the character from previous seasons. who has no right to the reputation of the Spider. After secretly working to impersonate Robert for years, he only lasted a few days attempting to dethrone Daenerys and, with her demonstrated skill and knowledge of her, Varys should have done better. Still the series was in a hurry to reach the end, so Varys didn’t get caught up in a complicated plot to impersonate Daenerys. His character was cut down for a quick conclusion, which he didn’t know what the show was about.
