Approach with caution: If you haven’t watched Game of Thrones season 8 episode 3, stop reading now or be met with spoilers.
It’s been over 24 hours since ‘Game of Thrones’ episode 3 ‘The Long Night’ aired and we’re still shook! The biggest highlight of the battle of Winterfell was undoubtedly everyone’s favourite assassin Arya Stark stabbing the blue-eyed Night King with a Valyrian steel dagger. But there was another epic moment of badassery that garnered the loudest cheers. You know what we’re talking about right?
Giant Wight: 0, Lyanna Mormont: 100
The fearless, no-nonsense and super brave Lady Mormont has been winning hearts since she first appeared on the show but yesterday’s heroics cemented her place in TV history for being the biggest, boldest fighter ever!

We respect her and admire her bravery. But her death had us bawling like babies. It is no exaggeration to say that at that moment, there was no dry eye in the house.

And the internet paid an emotional tribute to this lovely character with some even claiming that she was more useful in the fight than Jon Snow.
Of the many characters in GOT, Lyanna Mormont made one hell of a first impression & was an instant favorite of mine. He death, while heroic, shook me harder than any others in tonight’s episode. Here’s to you milady. #GameOfThornes #GOT pic.twitter.com/eDH9qOS2L0

Unpopular opinion: Lyanna Mormont was more useful than Jon and Dany on dragons combined. #GameOfThrones #BattleOfWinterfell pic.twitter.com/0v8PnTpBDR
