There's nothing better than seeing how a villain turns into a hero when a story unfolds, and that's exactly what happened to Jaime Lannister.

Jaime Lannister was introduced in "Game of Thrones" as the proud lion of the family, a golden boy. But he also had a reputation for killing the last Targaryen king, which earned him the nickname "Kingslayer." In the beginning, he was just as hateful as his twin sister, Cersei.

However, as the story progressed, Jaime went through a character growth that truly pleased fans. During his time away from King's Landing, he learned more about other people, developed some compassion, and even started a romance with Brienne of Tarth.

Sadly, he went back to his sister in the end, although most "GOT" fans would prefer to erase season eight from existence. Ultimately, Jaime became a fan-favorite character when most of his family was hated, which only enhanced the greatness of the JRR Martin story. Let's remember these Jaime Lannister quotes.

Clearly, it's time to watch "Game of Thrones" again. While "House of the Dragon" is still ongoing, people miss the characters from the original show, and Jaime is no exception. It was hard to watch him die in the end, as fans hoped that his fate would be completely different than what they wanted for Cersei.

Unfortunately, other characters didn't fate so well either. Daenerys Targaryen was killed, much to the displeasure of all viewers. Don't you miss seeing actress Emilia Clarke? Find out about her dating history here.

Fans were also disappointed when Arya Stark's "faceless man" plot didn't seem to go farther, and Maisie Williams has seemingly been absent from mainstream media since. It might be because of her complicated relationship with her parents.

Fortunately, "Game of Thrones" fans are enjoying seeing Jason Momoa in major franchises, although his character, Drogo, died way too early in season one. Find out how he got his scar here.
