I don’t get the season 6 hate. There’s three 10/10 episodes and the only terrible scenes that season were Arya vs. the Waif and Theon and Yara stealing a fleet during Euron’s drowning ceremony(Season 6 is the...y’all just had lowered expectations cause it followed that bullshyt Season 5. It’s good but let’s calm down man
). nikkas began teleporting that season but it was excusable because the show still didn’t feel rushed.
I thought Sam telling Jon about his parents was a great scene. If they had 10-12 episodes it would have been a brilliant starting point for Jon/Dany dissension since Sam’s line about her not giving up her crown to save her people is poignant.
On his way to Kings Landing, Arya strides up next to Sandor on her horse. Hound says "I don't plan on coming back". Arya replies neither do I. We assume they ride together from Winterfell to the capital together keeping that same energy. Both of them are aware they're on a suicide mission. Yet, when the suicide part of it starts showing itself, Clegane suddenly wants Arya to dip and Arya is convinced in a matter of seconds. If you had to sum up Arya's character development in a couple sentences, what would It be? It's not tough; it's not like the character was made to be anything besides vengeful and violent for six seasons. We're made to believe reclaiming who she is represents a change of the whole "A girl is no one" theme, yet she kills the Night King and seemingly chucks the dueces to her family, a possible future with Gendry, and possibly life in general. Both the Hound and Arya seem ok with this the hundreds of miles between Winterfell and Kings Landing. They both seem fine with it walking into a city in the midst of battle. Yet some falling rocks is enough to change that determination. I get it with Clegane. He's always been that father figure who hated being a father figure. I don't get it from the most single minded person on the show who literally looked death in the face and said "Not today"how would back in winterfell they know that kings landing would be crumbling literally from Drogon ?? thats why he told her not to go forward because its a 1 way trip... how was this a hard scene for so many to understand
he aint give a shyt if she was to kill cersei

I dont think they look at it as a suicide mission. Arya just found out about Jon and she rather be a wanderer and live as a Faceless person than live in Winterfell, is what I took from that. Basically creating a new Brotherhood.
I never got that from the show. I got that they left Winterfell for a mission, to kill The Mountain and Cersei and move on with life. Once they saw Kings Landing crumbling, The Hound realizes that in this scenario everyone dies and he doesnt want Arya to die so he tells her she can move forward, with a suicide mission, or the goal she has (to kill cersei) is accomplished already from the dragon or will be soon anyway so no point in her dying. Thats why he wants her to be better than him, because hes so far gone with revenge for his brother that, keep in mind at this point, they dont even know if Cersei or The Mountain are even alive at this point, but he has so much hate in his heart he needs to see with his own eyes even if it kills him.
Her actually seeing Cersei physically dead isnt worth her dying.. and if you notice when she leaves this part, she doesnt leave the city immediately, she goes into helping people (or trying to at least) because thats her actual arc and end game.
The list is her motive.
Being rationale and calculated in her moves is her character.
Notice in almost every dialogue she has this season, even with the Warden of The North and her big brother, shes more direct and calm and tries to bring rationale to him even though hes the older and supposed to be responsible person in the show, but shes basically sonning him with words in the few scenes together
they still show her having compassion though, shes not heartless or far gone. Shes calculated in her revenge. This wouldn't be a good calculation.
because she doesnt want to be a queen, the happiest they show Arya in the show is oddly on random adventures with The Hound helping or killing random people. She rather be Robin Hood then royalty
She was also almost in tears from being scared just moments she said this.. she still has emotion

You think it's just sitting down and writing a book? It's art breh.
We're all here complaining about writing and shortened episodes for the last two season but meanwhile you want the guy to just write books for your convenience
