Iwan Rheon, who plays Ramsay Bolton on the hit HBO series, completely agrees with the outcome of Sunday night's episode 'Battle of Bastards'.

As fans rejoice following the outcome of the latest episode of "Game of Thrones", Iwan Rheon may share the same feeling. If you haven't watched "Battle of Bastards", here's a spoiler: [SPOILER ALERT!] No, his character Ramsay Bolton didn't win the fight against Jon Snow.

In fact, Ramsay faced a gruesome death after being beaten up by Jon Snow, who then let his sister Sansa Stark get her revenge on her husband by feeding him to his own hounds. But instead of mourning his character's demise, Rheon thinks it's a justified ending for Ramsay.

"I think it's kind of right he goes down. Because what else is he going to do after this?" he told EW of his reaction after learning of Ramsay's demise. "He's done so many things. It's justified and it's the right thing to do. It's the right path. He's reached his peak. It's nice for the audience that he goes out on this high, if you will."

In terms of number, Ramsay might have seemed to win the fight had it not been for the knights of Vale that were sent by Littlefinger. While some might think it's unfair, Rheon said, "But I do think it's just and it's right. I'm glad it happens as a fan of the show."

He further explained, "Jon Snow needs to win because otherwise there's no hope left in the world. But it is interesting that it isn't fair. And afterward, Ramsay still thinks he's won. He's so arrogant and self assured he thinks he'll still be fine - until the last minute. He always thinks he's going to be okay."

Rheon got his wish come true as Ramsay died in a dramatic way. "Yeah, I feel really lucky he got a proper send off. And it's a gruesome death," he said, "It's so ironic. He's been banging on about those hounds all this time."

As much as he agreed with the fate of his character, Rheon said he would miss working on the show. "I think I'll miss the coming here and seeing everyone and getting down and doing it. And I'll miss when you pick up a script and read it and there's always one scene in every season where i go, 'Thank you so much, thank you, this is such a beauty.' And the excitement of doing that scene," he shared. "It's going to be really odd not doing this anymore. You're a part of something huge and you turn up and see the sets and the castles and everything. I'm going to be really I'm going to miss being a part of it."
