It is obvious that the good guys will win in the end, even if many will die. Why bother to make 8 seasons of a show where the villains win ? No body wants to see that. The writers could find anything to justify the heroes victory. For example, who says that Euron isn't going to take the gold and hire the Golden Company for himself, before ending Cersei ? They would weaken each other, and Jon and Dany's army could destroy the survivors easily. Besides, the Night King can be vulnerable on his dragon : we can imagine that only one lucky shot could kill Viserion. Maybe dragonglass spears exist ? Bronn managed to hit Drogon, so he could hit Viserion. If Viserion dies while flying with the Night King, the Night King is screwed.

The army of the dead isn't that large yet. There are barely anyone beyond the wall. If everyone retreats towards Winterfell and the living fights the White Walkers there, they stand a chance. Jon said the dead were over 100 000 ; the Dothraki, the Northmen, Unsullied and Knights of the Vale have better numbers. Better. Numbers. And one soldier can easily dispatch one wight. I say the living have better odds than the deads now. Viserion cannot kill Drogon and Rhaegal both, especially when you consider that he is the smallest of the three. Also, Drogon could just go for the White Walkers and take dozens of wights, even hundreds of them, by just killing one White Walker.

Let's not forget that Winterfell is one of the greatest castles of Westeros. How could the dead win when they are outnumbered and attacking the fortress ?

Even if Euron doesn't betray Cersei, she is screwed when Dany comes back from the North. Let's say that half of Dany's army is gone because of the White Walkers, and that she lost one dragon. She stills have better number and a dragon. The Golden Company may be the best sellswords in the world, they are only 10 000. Not enough. Cersei's levies will surely betray her when Dany's back, and the fleet of Euron is useless on land. So, Cersei's screwed.

Speaking about the meta-universe ; the good guys win 99% of the time. All the villains in Game of Thrones are dying one by one : Viserys, Joffrey, Tywin, Roose, Ramsay, Walder Frey, Littlefinger... Cersei, Euron, and the Night King are the last ones. They are not going to walk out alive from season 8, mark my words. The last season would be for nothing if all the heroes die and all the villains live. This wouldn't be satisfying. Why creating a series which isn't satisfying ? And please, don't tell me Game of Thrones kill its heroes all the time. The simple fact that they died showed that they weren't the main characters. The series was great at hiding the identity of the main protegonists for most of the seasons ; but we know for sure now that the two heroes are Dany and Jon. Ned Stark wasn't the hero, neither was Robb, Catelyn, or Oberyn. Dany and Jon always were, and they are still alive. Can't you see their obvious plot armor ? Jon even came back from the dead ! Game of Thrones NEVER killed its true heroes, only main characters of a couple of seasons. I can see Dany's dying at the end ; but not Jon, and certainly not the entire continent. Cersei won't stay on the Iron Throne. The Night King won't neither. They will both die. The end is already written.
