Nathalie Emmanuel says reaction to her Game of Thrones death has been "overwhelming".
The 30-year-old actress starred as Missandei in the hit HBO fantasy drama series - which is set to come to a dramatic end when the final ever episode airs on Monday - but after the fan favourite character met her gruesome end earlier this season, Nathalie says she's been getting so many comments on social media from people who say she "deserved better".
She said: "I suddenly feel like she's no longer in existence; she's now a character from the past, and that feels different. […] The reaction on social media has been overwhelming. And that's testament to how much people cared for the character. A lot of the comments have been: 'You deserved better', but it's Game of Thrones – there's no justice, and it doesn't matter how good you are or how kind or sweet you are, they [the show's power-crazed characters] will get you if it advances their own interests."
Nathalie also spoke about Missandei's sex scene with Grey Worm, a eunuch, which was praised in several "feminist articles" for being "all about Missandei's pleasure".
