I'm just curious because I see a lot of people hating on it because it undermines what a great guy Jaime was but I think it's 1 of the few things (maybe the only thing) season 8 does right.
I don't like his thicc ass plot armor (or that he survived the long night) but I don't think Jaime was this great guy everyone sees. This is the same man who raped his sister next to her son's corpse and threatened to catapult Edmure's baby at a stone wall.
Yes he saved half a million people at king's landing but why? Was it just for them? Not for his father? Himself? The fact he constantly says he'll do anything to see Cersei again?
Had Tywin ordered the death of everyone at king's landing would he have stopped him? Would he oppose his own family to save civilians? He didn't do anything when the Targaryen children were being murdered. Because it didn't harm him or his family in any way. Cersei blows up the Sept and he still stays by her side.
A bad character can do good things. Example both Stannis and Baelish have done good things but they're far from being good people. The books might head in a different direction but as far as the show goes I don't think this out of character for Jaime to go back. They showed us time and time again he is a selfish person. Giving Brienne armor to repay a debt is a nice thing but again Baelish saving Sansa was a nice thing. Him being nice to your favorite character (Tyrion and Brienne) doesn't make him a nice person. 1 is family the other is a friend. But what about civilians? He's never showed cared for them.
But feel free to disagree and if there are any spelling errors my bad.
Edit - Also him killing Cersei would've done absolutely nothing as Dany mawn lowers the city anyways and only does a drive by at the red keep. So him killing her would've essentially just been for the sake of him killing her and not the saving of anybody.
