George R.R. Martin: ‘It was like murdering two of your children’ on His Hardest Game of Thrones Scene That Almost Didn’t Happen
The Red Wedding was one of the most violent sequences in Game of Thrones, and its effect still lingers with fans even after all these years. For one, it wiped out two of the main protagonists in the show in the blink of an eye, and worse, the subsequent scene made everyone’s stomach turn seeing Robb Stark’s desecrated corpse paraded out in the night.

The audience was left dumbstruck after that episode, although not as devastated as the author himself. George R.R. Martin avoided writing that chapter until he finished the entire book. He knew from the start that Robb had to go, even though he was one of the heroes.
