GoT - discussion on Cersei's inevitable demise (some spoilers)
Posted on 8/22/16 at 10:00 am

At this point, the prophecy about Cersei's death seems more likely to point to Jaime than Tyrion, particularly because of how prophecies typically play out: it's worded in such a way to make the outcome seem obvious, but a literal translation reveals the real truth to be something different. Also I think it's more liekly considering the predictable outcome of Cersei trying to burn down King's Landing entirely and Jaime following up his kingslaying with a queenslaying.
Considering how predictably this seems to be playing out, I think I'd rather Tyrion strangle her to death in some sort of twist, but I'm not banking on it. What do you think is going to happen?

At this point, I don't see anyone else except Jaime killing her. I don't think he's going to be able to handle seeing her burn everything to the ground after he killed the Mad King for that very reason. And push their only living son to his death (even if just figuratively).
I'd be particularly pleased with a scenario in which he much choose Brianne over Ceresi as well.

Forget the prophecies, it just makes for a better story if Jamie kills her IMO. Their actions for better or worse have been tied togeather for the entire series.
Jamie, for all his worrying about his legacy, will go down as a kingslayer, queenslayer and kinslayer. Everyone in the realm won't understand that he did it all for them, he will have saved thousands of lives by killing his sister and the mad king but forever have his name will be mud.
Tyrion killing her would be satisfying but fairly unimpactful sense he is already a kinslayer. He is already a shitstain on the family name, killing her would just improve that rep. Him owning the Rock will be revenge enough for him.

We talking show or book? I'm guessing book due to the level of details.
That's a nice touch. I agree that Jaime is the most likely one to bleed the bitch. The stage has been set for him to turn on her for the good of the land (unlike the Show where he has been reduced to a sniveling boy-toy)

Ever since I read the Maggie the Frog prophecy chapter, I've been convinced it was multi-faceted.
The "younger" brother has been bringing her down since very early:
Ned
Renly/Stannis
Tyrion
(maybe) Sandor
Tommen (most recently)
Jaime will just be the final straw, IMHO, and the one that will hurt her the most - her (younger brother) twin.

Well, this discretion that Jaime will strangle her to death is obvious for the reader/viewer, but it is not to Cersei. It's clear the thought that Jaime may be the Valonqar hasn't even crossed Cersei's mind. That's why it's satisfying because it will catch Cersei completely off guard, and she'll realize in the end how much of a dumbass and crazy she actually is.

Jaime has to do it. Sure, we will see it coming, but it's one of those things you see coming and hope to God it happens.
It's the only way (in my opinion).

I think Tyrion kills her when he comes back to Kings Landing riding on a dragon.

I would love to see the next season end with Jon riding into Kings Landing to see Jamie sitting on the Iron throne after killing cercei. Much like Ned after he killed King Aerys. That would be badass. This time Jamie gets to keep the throne.

Jamie will kill her and they will die together in very Shakesperean fashion. He knew that there love was dead during the coronation. It's really the only way their story can end.

Cersei lives in the end but Jaime dies.
Posted on 8/22/16 at 7:57 pm to gorillacoco
I hope cercei survives

Prophecy will be thrown out of window on tv show bc they didn't mention that part of the prophecy.
Arya will kill her, and probably the mountain too.
