Gendry’s storyline should have been more significant. As Robert Baratheon’s last son, he had a claim to the throne, yet he spent most of the series either running or forging weapons.

He later became an important ally for Jon Snow and helped create weapons for the Battle of Winterfell, yet he was rarely treated as more than a side character. His rushed legitimization in Season 8 felt like an afterthought.
