He also faced the exact same situation he faced with Yara the season before. He had to choose between instant death or fleeing, he died trying to save humanity.
RIP Theon.

Did Theon 'deserve' a redemption arc, though?
It's the thing that you know they'll do with Darth Emo in the Star Wars series - Kylo Ren will get a redemption arc because that's what happens in high fantasy sort of series. But it's not warranted half as often as it's done.
I would've been just as content watching Theon get eaten by wolves even if Alfie Allen really did a nice job with the part.
