One of the main complaints about Game of Thrones Season 8, episode 3, "The Long Night" (aside from how dark it was) was that the Battle of Winterfell didn't feature enough major character deaths, especially given the sheer number of wights and White Walkers laying siege to our heroes.
Apparently, we weren't the only ones who thought that "The Long Night" needed more death and destruction. In a new podcast interview with IndieWire, director Miguel Sapochnik (who also directed the show's penultimate episode, "The Bells") revealed that he tried to convince showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss to kill off more characters to raise the stakes - partially because he was concerned that pulling off another episode-long battle with no breaks would end up boring the audience.
