I just watched this clip of Lena Headey reflecting on how should’ve ended for Cersei—and honestly, I felt seen. She doesn’t just revisit the finale, she reclaims it with a vision that’s darker, bolder, and far more fitting for the queen we loved to fear.

In the video, Lena imagines a death for Cersei that carries the weight of her rise—something fiery, poetic, and earned.

“Cersei should’ve gone out in wildfire and vengeance, not crushed like an afterthought,” one fan echoes, perfectly summing up what so many of us felt.

Another viewer puts it bluntly: “Lena imagining a better death than the writers says everything.” And it really does. This isn’t just nostalgia—it’s a reflection on how much storytelling matters, especially for characters as complex as Cersei.

Whether you loved or hated her, Cersei deserved an ending that lived up to her legacy.

Lena’s take might not change the past, but it does give us something closer to closure.

🎥 Watch the video and tell me—how should Cersei’s final scene have gone?
