'There is a wider issue of representation.” missnemmanuel
Missandei did not make it to the series finale of Game of Thrones, but she’s left quite an impact as one of the series’ only main person of color. Nathalie Emmanuel’s reaction to Missandei’s GoT death is also about diversity and inclusion Emmanuel says that she expected women and women of color to identify with her character, but she was not prepared for the depths of the conversations that were sparked by the character’s brutal death.
In episode four of the final season, Missandei is captured by Cersei . After escaping as a slave, Missandei was yet again bound in chains and ordered to spill out any last words. She yells, “Dracarys,” and within moments she is beheaded by Cersei while her body flies off the top of the castle, bouncing down the side walls.One fan wrote: “I’ll never forgive the GoT writers for making Missandei die in chains.
And here’s what Ava DuVernay said about the fate of Missandei: “So… the one and only sister on the whole epic, years-long series? That’s what you wanna do? Okay.”According to viewers, the killing of one of the few non-white characters was not the only issue. It was not just the fact that she died, but it was the way she was killed: enslaved. The frame on top of the castle begins with Missandei in chains after several seasons of her being free.
The representation for people of color in Game of Thrones rested on the shoulders of two main characters, Missandei and Grey Worm . Emmanuel’s point of view includes more diverse casting to avoid the feeling of an entire group of minorities being washed away when the only character representing them is killed.
