  • You don’t train someone as an assassin and specifically give them a sword made of the metal that kills Night Kings if you don’t plan on them killing a Night King, first off. It’s also the exact kind of reversal of expectations for conflict resolving that Martin loves and, on the topic, I think the reason we’re never getting his ending is because it’s clear that this was his ending and people hated it.

    As for her character arc and revenge, that’s the thing, it’s not revenge, it’s her duty as a Stark. By your own reasoning using her new skills in this way instead of going after the Lannisters or whoever is the inevitable conclusion.

    Also, being what he is, I fully expect the leader of the Others in the book to get called a Night King/Night’s King if by some miracle he does actually publish the rest of the series. Yeah there’s all that stuff about that being a historical figure but it’s also the kind of name that becomes a title in its own right.

    But, all that said, at this point only Martin really knows what his intentions are and were.

    As someone that just read the books:

    Arya killing the night king isn’t just thematically and plot appropriate with like five different chekovs guns shooting his face at once, it’s just cool to have all this magic bullshit fixed with a blade in the dark imo.

    The problem is that scene was ugly and poorly filmed with shit tier effects. Plus she basically just yolos at the guy… Have her use her goddamn assassin powers, how hard is that?
