Cersei and Jaime (spoilers)

I first thought having rubble fall on them and crush/bury them was a lousy way to kill off Cersei (and Jaime), but is this like poetic justice for what she did with the Great Sept of Baelor in S6 finale, burying/crushing all the people inside by blowing it up?

Not trying to rationalize what could be inept writing, but I thought her death would be more personal, by a specific person (not Arya tho, who's already had her moment with the NK) - like Jaime or Tyrion or Euron or Dany or even Greyworm (at Dany's behest). Hell, maybe even by the Mountain or Ellaria as a long shot.

She was the main villain from S1E1 (NK excepted), so her death seemed too impersonal and poorly executed IMO.

I don't know if you can call her the main villain. Little Finger was the true villain of King's Landing at the start(though we didn't find out till much later). Joffrey became the main villain up to his death. Cersei didn't become main villain till after Tywin's death.

If Cersei survived the collapse of the Red Keep's lower levels, as in didn't get killed by a falling brick, and was buried alive, then that's good enough for me.

Cersei was Always a vilain but even a vilain can be morally justified sometimes. Destroying the Great Sept of Baelor seemed a good deed considering it was a religious power trying to overcome royal power.
