Great quiz! Really got stumped on some of the more fictional ones. Just so you know, Abel is misspelled as Able.

You might want to specify Littlefinger in the TV show (because in the books, he's not dead ... yet).

I had to guess on that one because I had read all the books but never watched the later seasons of the show. It was still pretty easy to guess, though.

Yeah, it would have made much more sense to include someone like Oberyn Martell, whose death is much more memorable, and matches with the books.

Didn't do too well, but learned some stuff. Interesting that the questions with 'hints' were the ones I thought were the easiest.

I think you can probably ditch the hints.

I'm such an idiot I read "Grendel" as "Gretel" like Hansel and Gretel and tried every variation of "the witch" I could, finally in deparation typing things like Hansel and "crazy woman in the woods" and random German names hoping that it was a reference to a specific movie I didn't know about. No actually I just can't read

Although it helped me, I think accepting 'Stark' for 'Arya Stark' might be a little too generous.

My head turned Gredo into Fredo, spent too long trying to remember the name of the guy Michael sent to shoot his brother before I realised what the hint meant.

I don't know or care who Thanos is or was, but it would have been better for the world if he had just got on and killed all those people before we were given endless films and sequels about them.
