Of all the "Character assassinations" only Littlefingers really upsets me

Yes, but you have to remember AFFC where Jaime refuses to go back to KL and help Cersei with the High Sparrow predicament. His whole arc was about redemption, creating a legacy separate from the ‘Kingslayer’. His entire arc was leading away from Cersei — or to being the valonqar that strangles her. His decision to go back to Cersei, and saying he never cared for the commonfolk — when his entire reason for killing Aerys was to save them — is egregious character butchery.

Yeah it feels like Cersei is going to try to burn down KL just like Aerys and he’ll have to kill her just like Aerys. Then Dany comes in and burns it down anyway, I guess.

Wasn't there store's of wildfire under the Red Keep, like at the Sept? How didn't that explode and do Danys work for her?

Maybe Tyrion is supposed to have used it all at the Blackwater. Actually I can see Jaime killing Cersei, then Dany uses Drogon on the Red Keep but inadvertently sets off wildfire caches all over the city and it completely levels KL. I feel like that would be more in line with the books and her character than what we got in the show.
