If there’s anything worse than getting killed off in a show, that is getting killed offearlyin the show.Game of Thronesfeatured a lot of shocking deaths in its first season alone, and one of those characters that departed from the series was Khal Drogo. Jason Momoa was even devastated upon discovering his beloved role would be cut short, just as Drogo was reaching his peak in the show.
Many actors whose characters were killed off in the series also felt shattered, but no one dared to question George R.R. Martin except for Momoa. Fans can say he was pretty upset about the whole thing.
Did Jason Momoa curse at George R.R. Martin for killing off Khal Drogo?
Khal Drogo was a fierce Dothraki warlord who gradually became a fan-favorite figure. He wasn’t the ideal husband to Daenerys Targaryen in the beginning, but as their story progressed, the character went through development. Drogo had many impressive scenes inGame of Thrones, but just as he was earning a strong fan base,he was immediately killed offat the end of Season 1.
George R.R. Martin Was “Tempted” But Ultimately Refused a ‘Game of Thrones’ Cameo
When Drogo fell ill and succumbed to a catatonic state due to an infected wound, Dany accepted that her husband would no longer return to health. She smothered him with a pillow and assembled a funeral pyre. It was the last time the audience sawJason Momoaas The Great Khal. In his interview with theHuffington Post, he expressed intense annoyance at his character’s fate.
After George Martin killed me, I was like ‘Go f—k yourself.’ I’m joking. But after George killed me, I was really upset. I went to go get the book at Barnes and Noble and I was bummed that I was dead. But it’s brilliant writing.
Momoa was aware of Drogo’s early exit as he has read the books. Still, he’s holding his hopes up that Drogo might come back sinceGeorge R.R. Martinis not yet finished withThe Winds of Winter. In the show, he was never resurrected and it’s also very unlikely that the author would revive the warlord.
Jason Momoa felt cheated after Khal Drogo’s death
Drogo’s untimely death initially did not sit well with Momoa. He said he felt cheated to have been bumped off just as he was warming up. In his conversation withMetro UK, the actor confessed, “I’ve always felt like I’ve been cheated in a lot of the things I’ve done,” referring to his past roles.

“You try to show a little bit of colour in there, you know, with Conan but no one wants to see Conan crying and with Drogo he died before any of that stuff could happen,” he explained. His concern was that the audience—and even himself—did not get to see the whole arc of Drogo in the series. Momoa felt that there were still a lot of things that he could offer.
Game of Thronesis currently available to watch on HBO.
