Good characters die, and so do bad ones, sometimes randomly out of the blue. Not good deaths, either. Some people are shot down in the privy like dogs.

I don’t think that’s a good example. That particular death was anticlimactic for a reason.

It’s the worst death Tywin could have had. For all his grandstanding about his legacy, the aura of dread he cast upon the entire continent, the intricate plots and the mass violence he wrought, he died for insulting a smallfolk girl whose name he couldn’t recall and for the sadly mundane crime of being an abusive father.

Death in ASOIF is only random for bit characters, just like it is in LOTR, but there are just so many more bit characters.
