Game Of Thrones Cut A Big Lannister Story From The Books – And It Ruined Varys Long Before Season 8

Varys’ arc and subsequent death in Game of Thrones season 8 is seen as a downward turn for the character, but the problems started much earlier thanks to House Lannister changes to George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire books. Varys was one of the most important and interesting characters in Game of Thrones‘ early seasons. Back when much of the show’s story was centered around King’s Landing, it was the Spider spinning his webs that helped to drive the plot and create much of the political intrigue.
