Sansa's got the right idea. things fell apart for Rob when he executed Lord karstark. He lost the Karstarks and needed more from Frey as a result which is where the red wedding happens. If he had simply relieved Karstark of command and sent him home or even the wall he would have kept his son's respect and they wouldn't have ridden home.

@@damonlongstreet8630 I feel one of the issues with dumb and dumber was that they were reading peoples “storylines” of how the show should end. These “storylines” were actually pretty good and they felt like they didn’t want to be predictable. Sometimes taking a complete left turn doesn’t work. You sometimes crash into a wall when doing that. An ice wall in there case lol.
Interesting fact about this main room: is that it's warmer then any other in the castle because there are pipes with hot spring water coursing through it. So it's very special
This scene was to deceive little finger so he thinks the girls are at odds with each other and see if he would try to manipulate Sansa which he fell for and Arya cut his throat the same way she expressed in this scene they always knew he was the enemy and was just after power Sansa saw that first hand with the way he gave her to the Boltons
Arya pissed me off the minute she escaped somehow alive from being stabbed by the Waif. She became way too cocky (not talking about when she was playing with Sansa to kill Littlefinger), even with her sister, whom she never really liked. The last two seasons of that show were bs.
Arya is an angry child, trained to be an assassin without understanding the philosophy of the faceless men. Sansa was forced to learn, that actions have consequences. She needed to learn to play the game and she understands the necessity of compromise.
I get that they were probably already doing the bit for Littlefinger in this scene, but I still hate how smug Arya is. It’s like she came in trying to pick a fight, and she thinks she’s better than Sansa because she can hold a sword. She still has the mentality of a 10yo despite everything she went through; it’s like Sansa is the only one who actually grew up.
I mean “listening to complaints” is a requirement in democracy where people’s voices matter, but they are in a feudal society where open questioning can lead to dissent and rebellion. Sansa letting these lords voice their treason out loud in her family’s hall wasn’t the best political choice
yeah, and it makes sense Jon would. sure it belongs to the King of the North or Warden of the North depending on the title, but the room wasn’t just Ned’s it was also Catelyn’s and im sure Jon would’ve given it to Sansa no problem
Before Jon became king, Sansa was already automatically Lady of Winterfell, both when she was married to Ramsay and afterwards. So it seems very obvious to me that she would take the rooms and I don't think Jon would take them.
The writers were this close to writing an intelligent argument for these two. Arya's first point was legit. Sansa shouldn't allow insults to be said about Jon. Tywin, Bran, Robb, Viserys I Targaryen and Daemon Targaryen all verbally shut down snide comments or treasonous statements and showed just what the hierarchy is. This is something that leaders do with their subordinates. Sansa is under Jon. If she was loyal to him she would have been saying that Jon is the King and that she would not tolerate treasonous or petty insults comments. Sansa's response that she shouldn't "offend" men with armies at their command is slightly less Intelligent and I blame the writers here. Glover is basically re-sworn to the Starks. Glover is under Sansa, and it is most definitely her place to remind him of his. Royce is more complicated but if Sansa is so smart now she should be able to shut his comments down easily and with grace. And then the writers go and undermine Arya by making her say that murder is always the answer.
I think Sansas point being that they JUST got their home back. Everyone already has little faith in them because their house fell so hard. They just got everything back and are trying to rebuild, so she's trying to build that relationship back up. If she just shut people down when they spoke their opinions at this point, they'd just leave. They have to reestablish loyalty. Where I agree that a good ruler wouldn't let anyone talk badly about them, their house isn't strong enough to do that quite yet. They need to earn that respect back
@@kelgirl99 true. Though in-universe it would be more advisable to shoot down comments(with grace! Diplomacy requires grace 79% of the time) like that because there's a difference between passive aggressive undermining in private and undermining in public with witnesses.after all, Sansa is Holding Court, in her Home, and allowing this shit during a public event with lots of lords witnessing this is a Horrible Mistep at best, regardless of whether you're new in power or not.
Hate how Arya acts in this scene. You would think that based on all she has been through she would understand Sansa more. Why is Cersei on her kill list if she thinks Sansa was living it up in the castle.
Arya was trained by assassin the only thing she knows is death and revenge, so how would she possibly understand Sansa I’m this scene. And Cersei was on her list as extension to Joffrey, she stood on the podium where here father was killed so to Arya she may as well have played part in it.
She's bright. She's not a *diplomat*. She cares more about family than the bigger picture. Politics and strategy are just as important as the willingness to destroy when it comes to war.
@@DarkRubberDucky She’s not dumb but there isn’t a single instance in the show that depicts her as more intelligent than the average joe. She isn’t bright.
@@adrianavargova “There’s so many that I can’t think of a particular one” lmfao. I’ll cut you some slack because it can be hard to remember specific examples like this but unless you can think of anything this is just two assholes arguing over nothing in a comment section without any substance
i was very disappointed that instead of staying united in some way, the girls started drifting and even had a few antagonizing scenes. sansa never had those with jon or bran. the same with arya never having those with her brothers. and even when you bring up that the girls never really got along well from before, sansa didn’t get along with jon either before. seems very sketchy they decided to give the sisters more emotionally distant and trying to establish whose more dominant in the scene
Arya and Sansa more than just "didn't get along." They hated each other. Sansa stuck up for Joffrey after he bullied Arya and had her friend murdered. Then Sansa's direwolf had its head chopped off in place of Arya's who had run off. Arya's last memory of Sansa was her standing next to Joffrey as he gave the order to cut off her father's head. After all that, it would make zero sense for them to be all buddy buddy without working through their issues.
@@cryptaku3404 Sansa didn't exactly stand up for Joffrey, she was a child and torn as to whether to tell the truth and call the Prince a liar to the king's face (something that has consequences, even she knew that at her age), or lie and say her sister was the liar. Ultimately she said she didn't know, she didn't see, she tried to stay out of the fight how she could when commanded to speak to the king. For the rest of it though I 100% agree, they were never going to be friendly until they worked through their issues. Sansa was mean to Jon but ultimately ignored him for the most part, they weren't around each other all that much, Sansa being a trueborn daughter and Jon being a bastard son they weren't constantly in the same room as each other growing up. Sansa and Arya on the other hand, both trueborn daughters, were taught many of the same things, almost always together throughout the day, and they didn't get along. Being constantly in the presence of someone you don't get along with growing up isn't conducive to being all buddy buddy after years of separation either.
I think it was intended to imply that at some point, the girls were onto Baelish’s scheming, and began staging their infighting to keep him in the dark. It just wasn’t made clear exactly when they put their plan into action.
Arya dint really know what her sister went through. Din't understand her never did actually untill at the very end ...she always had her gurd up and never trusted her....
No that's not the point she has pain but hasn't broken only broken people with nothing can become pychos she still has friends even tho they dying and jon
Sansa foi muito melhor do que Ária nesse momento. Ária falar sobre cortar cabeças está muito mais para agir como Cersei do que como uma pessoa que odeia Cersei exatamente por ela agir assim, pois Cersei faria isso, como fez ao explodir o cepitão com todos seus inimigos daquele momento dentro dele. Sansa foi muito mais na linha de Jon Snow, Jon jamais faria o que Ária estava sugerindo o que Sansa fizesse.
I like how much Sansa has grown and adapted a wider frame of mind and a longitudinal considerations for her decisions. From a a naive, helpless girl she evolved into a key player who can factor different variables out and consider multiple approaches along with the possible repercussions of her moves. Despite both sisters dealing with situationism throughout the seasons, Arya’s mental dimensions was static. She had become good at killing, but that’s all there was to her. Her ontology had no evolution. Pretty much, Arya is a renegade who’s good at killing but can be killed just as well. Sansa knew how to secure forces and maintain upkeep. Arya is like a riderless dragon or the Mountain, she does her job well but she eill get herself in shit situations without proper direction.
Why y’all acting like Sansa isn’t Sansa? As if she isn’t power hungry or dangerous? She’s so diplomatic but yet she’s also trying to depose her allies. Yeah she cares about her family, but she wants power, maybe even at the detriment to her family. How often did this chick speak out when Jon was talking? How many times has she blatantly disrespected him as king of the north? She wanted the power for herself.
EVERYONE on the show wants power, especially Daenerys and Cersei, but Sansa is the only one? If Sansa had wanted power or the crown, she would have gotten it when they offered it to her in season 7. Sansa already has power. She is one of the most powerful women in Westeros.
@@erys8957 Daenerys & cersei make it clear time & time again that they need power so ofc we aren't surprised. this girl on the other hand acts like she doesn't & she as if she cares about her family but behind anyone can see she's just as power hungry.
@@angelyuqi6709 Yes of course, too bad Sansa is only 12 years old and it is instilled in her from the very beginning that she has to get married and have children. If you have read the books or watched the show well, you know very well that Sansa never really thinks about power and becoming Queen, but about getting married and having children, becoming queen is just a side effect of marrying Joffrey. I would not say the same about Dany and Cersei. She is offered the crown in season 7, if you remember, Jon is a bastard, she could have taken it from him at any time. But of course you can think whatever you want ✌️
She did. It's why she insisted they keep their faith in Jon and she didn't jump at the opportunity to take over for him when Lord Glover suggested it. She continued to take up for Jon, though he increasingly behaved like an idiot.
@@neville2308 They Didn't fake Jack, Sansa was going after Arya after that lil talk with Little Finger, she just Consulted Bran FIRST who give her far more than she ever expected, that was when she realised she was being Pitted against Arya with LF manipulation, and he was the course of more problems than they ever realise.
@@TwiceStruck Yes, and that is when Arya and Sansa started faking their arguments, because they knew what Little Finger was up to, and that he was secretly spying on them as well. As a result, he thought he was getting away with yet another of his scheming plans to pit the sisters against each other, meanwhile they were just playing Baelish, until the day of his surprise trial.
@@neville2308 it's been confirmed all of there fight was real in s7, Confirmed by Scripts Sansa WAS gonna execute Ayra but went to Bran first (OFFSCREEN) and told her everything.
Arya didn’t grow up around two faced nobles who could teach her how to lead, she grew up with death and a desire for revenge. She’s not just a “sad ignorant girl with a sword” she’s an assassin who was taught to kill to get what she needed. Of course she wouldn’t be good at politics. And Sansa didn’t understand the game either. She just stole all the bad personality traits of people who DID know how to play.
Arya's right. Sansa started all the problems because she's always thought herself better than everyone. She lied for and defended Joffrey because she wanted to be a princess. Everything that followed she brought on them and herself. I would've preferred Danaerys lived and Sansa died. What did Sansa contribute without causing problems for others?
Sansa contributed Jack sht. She spent most of the show being rescued. Saved from the Lannisters by Littlefinger, then saved again by him from Lysa, then it was Theon saving her from Myranda and the Boltons, then it was Brienne and Pod, then God knows who while she was in the crypt during the long night. She was annoying and useless the entire show. No one would care for her if her last name wasn't Stark
I'm sorry but when has Sansa ever believed herself to be better than everyone? 😂😂😂 Daenerys burned down an entire city, I think that alone is a bigger problem than the 'problems Sansa caused'. Besides Daenerys did what she had to do, if she hadn't helped the North she would have been a huge hypocrite.
@@thesella well she's not a warrior and back then she doesn't have an army she was living with her enemies by herself also danaerys would be like sansa if she doesn't have dragons
@Tota Toha she didn't have to be a warrior to stand up for herself. Even a pregnant Dany stood up to Viserys when he smacked her around. Sansa couldn't even do that to her aunt Lysa and she was the weakest of the bunch that tormented her
Every time I see a scene with Arya and Sansa, I think of this. Sansa should've turned into the cold-blooded warrior, and Arya should've turned ex warrior into a queen/politician. After everything Sansa went through, it just never feels right to me how 'normal' she is. And to me, Arya's journey would've made her a great leader. She could politic but make threats and back them up personally.
Terrible dialogue. And Arya is coming off like an annoying twat. Inconsistent character writing. Like a poor version of Cersei and Joffrey talking about bending the north to their knees.

In the show she is the only Stark's ending I rooted for and wished since she left the Vale to be the ruler of the North. Here's to the Queen in the North!
Lol, sure, cut off the Lords’ heads over petty insults. Sure worked out for Robb when he cut off Karstark’s head, and his offense was worse than insults
Because she did not want to ask Littlefinger for help and because then she was not even sure of their arrival. If she had told him, Jon would not have accepted Littlefinger's help.

But dumb and dumber removed logic so they probably make her the "the great ruler the north has ever seen", doesn't mean much when that same logic was used on everyone in Kings Landing,j ust suddenly loved Cersie in S7/8 when they wanted her dead from s2-6
@@damonlongstreet8630 I feel one of the issues with dumb and dumber was that they were reading peoples “storylines” of how the show should end. These “storylines” were actually pretty good and they felt like they didn’t want to be predictable. Sometimes taking a complete left turn doesn’t work. You sometimes crash into a wall when doing that. An ice wall in there case lol.
Sansa ended up with a throne. What she always wanted.
Ok but Sansa's outfit here is awesome
It worked like a charm the last time this approach was tried (with the Karstarks)
Interesting fact about this main room: is that it's warmer then any other in the castle because there are pipes with hot spring water coursing through it. So it's very special
Arya was just playing the game of faces with Sansa to clarify Sansa's intentions. My head canon.
I was looking for this comment
@blor3664 wr love them because they have flaws, that makes it more realistic
This scene was to deceive little finger so he thinks the girls are at odds with each other and see if he would try to manipulate Sansa which he fell for and Arya cut his throat the same way she expressed in this scene they always knew he was the enemy and was just after power Sansa saw that first hand with the way he gave her to the Boltons
Sansa's a cleverpants
And...they won
All winning from Aria with one dagger. ;-)
Words are one thing.
And actions make the different
Jon maybe a good leader, but not a politician. Sansa is. Arya..... an assassin.
Arya pissed me off the minute she escaped somehow alive from being stabbed by the Waif. She became way too cocky (not talking about when she was playing with Sansa to kill Littlefinger), even with her sister, whom she never really liked.
The last two seasons of that show were bs.
Yesss her cockyness annoys me too! She absolutely got into diva mode while she could have just stayed in tomboy mode, it suited her much better
Arya was always right
Arya is an angry child, trained to be an assassin without understanding the philosophy of the faceless men.
Sansa was forced to learn, that actions have consequences. She needed to learn to play the game and she understands the necessity of compromise.
Sansa the girl who wants it all. Like she said ep1 "I want to be Queen. It's the only thing I've ever wanted."
Sansa has the right idea here.
Arya and Jon were awesome
I get that they were probably already doing the bit for Littlefinger in this scene, but I still hate how smug Arya is. It’s like she came in trying to pick a fight, and she thinks she’s better than Sansa because she can hold a sword. She still has the mentality of a 10yo despite everything she went through; it’s like Sansa is the only one who actually grew up.
I mean “listening to complaints” is a requirement in democracy where people’s voices matter, but they are in a feudal society where open questioning can lead to dissent and rebellion. Sansa letting these lords voice their treason out loud in her family’s hall wasn’t the best political choice
Maybe that was her plan.
I don’t like that she just assumed she should have their parents room…
more like she assumed Jon would
She didn't assume that. Jon gave it to her.
yeah, and it makes sense Jon would. sure it belongs to the King of the North or Warden of the North depending on the title, but the room wasn’t just Ned’s it was also Catelyn’s and im sure Jon would’ve given it to Sansa no problem
It’s a room
Before Jon became king, Sansa was already automatically Lady of Winterfell, both when she was married to Ramsay and afterwards. So it seems very obvious to me that she would take the rooms and I don't think Jon would take them.
The writers were this close to writing an intelligent argument for these two.
Arya's first point was legit. Sansa shouldn't allow insults to be said about Jon. Tywin, Bran, Robb, Viserys I Targaryen and Daemon Targaryen all verbally shut down snide comments or treasonous statements and showed just what the hierarchy is. This is something that leaders do with their subordinates. Sansa is under Jon. If she was loyal to him she would have been saying that Jon is the King and that she would not tolerate treasonous or petty insults comments.
Sansa's response that she shouldn't "offend" men with armies at their command is slightly less Intelligent and I blame the writers here. Glover is basically re-sworn to the Starks. Glover is under Sansa, and it is most definitely her place to remind him of his. Royce is more complicated but if Sansa is so smart now she should be able to shut his comments down easily and with grace.
And then the writers go and undermine Arya by making her say that murder is always the answer.
I think Sansas point being that they JUST got their home back. Everyone already has little faith in them because their house fell so hard. They just got everything back and are trying to rebuild, so she's trying to build that relationship back up. If she just shut people down when they spoke their opinions at this point, they'd just leave. They have to reestablish loyalty. Where I agree that a good ruler wouldn't let anyone talk badly about them, their house isn't strong enough to do that quite yet. They need to earn that respect back
@@kelgirl99 true. Though in-universe it would be more advisable to shoot down comments(with grace! Diplomacy requires grace 79% of the time) like that because there's a difference between passive aggressive undermining in private and undermining in public with witnesses.after all, Sansa is Holding Court, in her Home, and allowing this shit during a public event with lots of lords witnessing this is a Horrible Mistep at best, regardless of whether you're new in power or not.
@blor3664 oh yeah, everyone else does die. Sansa too, should also be at risk and facing consequences for letting this shit stand.
Hate how Arya acts in this scene. You would think that based on all she has been through she would understand Sansa more. Why is Cersei on her kill list if she thinks Sansa was living it up in the castle.
Arya was trained by assassin the only thing she knows is death and revenge, so how would she possibly understand Sansa I’m this scene.
And Cersei was on her list as extension to Joffrey, she stood on the podium where here father was killed so to Arya she may as well have played part in it.
Arya is an amazing fighter but she isn’t very bright
She's bright. She's not a *diplomat*. She cares more about family than the bigger picture. Politics and strategy are just as important as the willingness to destroy when it comes to war.
@@DarkRubberDucky She’s not dumb but there isn’t a single instance in the show that depicts her as more intelligent than the average joe. She isn’t bright.
@@samuelking4723 No? There is not? There's so many that I can't even think of a parricular one. Arya is clever, but not a skilled politician.
@@adrianavargova “There’s so many that I can’t think of a particular one” lmfao. I’ll cut you some slack because it can be hard to remember specific examples like this but unless you can think of anything this is just two assholes arguing over nothing in a comment section without any substance
i was very disappointed that instead of staying united in some way, the girls started drifting and even had a few antagonizing scenes. sansa never had those with jon or bran. the same with arya never having those with her brothers. and even when you bring up that the girls never really got along well from before, sansa didn’t get along with jon either before. seems very sketchy they decided to give the sisters more emotionally distant and trying to establish whose more dominant in the scene
I think it wasnthe writers trying to make the Littlefinger moment more "Whaaaat!" 🤔
So....bad writing again.
Arya and Sansa more than just "didn't get along." They hated each other. Sansa stuck up for Joffrey after he bullied Arya and had her friend murdered. Then Sansa's direwolf had its head chopped off in place of Arya's who had run off. Arya's last memory of Sansa was her standing next to Joffrey as he gave the order to cut off her father's head. After all that, it would make zero sense for them to be all buddy buddy without working through their issues.
@@cryptaku3404 Sansa didn't exactly stand up for Joffrey, she was a child and torn as to whether to tell the truth and call the Prince a liar to the king's face (something that has consequences, even she knew that at her age), or lie and say her sister was the liar. Ultimately she said she didn't know, she didn't see, she tried to stay out of the fight how she could when commanded to speak to the king.
For the rest of it though I 100% agree, they were never going to be friendly until they worked through their issues.
Sansa was mean to Jon but ultimately ignored him for the most part, they weren't around each other all that much, Sansa being a trueborn daughter and Jon being a bastard son they weren't constantly in the same room as each other growing up.
Sansa and Arya on the other hand, both trueborn daughters, were taught many of the same things, almost always together throughout the day, and they didn't get along. Being constantly in the presence of someone you don't get along with growing up isn't conducive to being all buddy buddy after years of separation either.
I blame the writers for those scenes. I’ve yet to read the books, but i hope there are some more common sense things in there.
I think it was intended to imply that at some point, the girls were onto Baelish’s scheming, and began staging their infighting to keep him in the dark. It just wasn’t made clear exactly when they put their plan into action.
Meaningless conversation going on
I like both of their views so...!
Arya dint really know what her sister went through. Din't understand her never did actually untill at the very end ...she always had her gurd up and never trusted her....
Arya why are you being a psychopath
She’s an assassin what do you expect?
You can be a killer without being a pycho
@@blackknight-oz8bi you can also be psycho cause you’re a killer
No that's not the point she has pain but hasn't broken only broken people with nothing can become pychos she still has friends even tho they dying and jon
Sansa foi muito melhor do que Ária nesse momento.
Ária falar sobre cortar cabeças está muito mais para agir como Cersei do que como uma pessoa que odeia Cersei exatamente por ela agir assim, pois Cersei faria isso, como fez ao explodir o cepitão com todos seus inimigos daquele momento dentro dele.
Sansa foi muito mais na linha de Jon Snow, Jon jamais faria o que Ária estava sugerindo o que Sansa fizesse.
I mean they've both got good points. Sansa shouldn't just let them shit talk jon but arya shouldn't just kill everyone.
I like how much Sansa has grown and adapted a wider frame of mind and a longitudinal considerations for her decisions. From a a naive, helpless girl she evolved into a key player who can factor different variables out and consider multiple approaches along with the possible repercussions of her moves.
Despite both sisters dealing with situationism throughout the seasons, Arya’s mental dimensions was static. She had become good at killing, but that’s all there was to her. Her ontology had no evolution. Pretty much, Arya is a renegade who’s good at killing but can be killed just as well. Sansa knew how to secure forces and maintain upkeep. Arya is like a riderless dragon or the Mountain, she does her job well but she eill get herself in shit situations without proper direction.
because of her john lose hia army, he did not inform john about her plan about vales
Why y’all acting like Sansa isn’t Sansa? As if she isn’t power hungry or dangerous? She’s so diplomatic but yet she’s also trying to depose her allies. Yeah she cares about her family, but she wants power, maybe even at the detriment to her family. How often did this chick speak out when Jon was talking? How many times has she blatantly disrespected him as king of the north?
She wanted the power for herself.
EVERYONE on the show wants power, especially Daenerys and Cersei, but Sansa is the only one? If Sansa had wanted power or the crown, she would have gotten it when they offered it to her in season 7. Sansa already has power. She is one of the most powerful women in Westeros.
@@erys8957 Daenerys & cersei make it clear time & time again that they need power so ofc we aren't surprised. this girl on the other hand acts like she doesn't & she as if she cares about her family but behind anyone can see she's just as power hungry.
@@angelyuqi6709 Yes of course, too bad Sansa is only 12 years old and it is instilled in her from the very beginning that she has to get married and have children. If you have read the books or watched the show well, you know very well that Sansa never really thinks about power and becoming Queen, but about getting married and having children, becoming queen is just a side effect of marrying Joffrey. I would not say the same about Dany and Cersei. She is offered the crown in season 7, if you remember, Jon is a bastard, she could have taken it from him at any time. But of course you can think whatever you want ✌️
As much I dislike Sansa but I liked this side of her.. the mature and voice of reason side.
Arya was just awful at this point.
Both*
Sansa was right . but she could've defended her brother
She did. It's why she insisted they keep their faith in Jon and she didn't jump at the opportunity to take over for him when Lord Glover suggested it.
She continued to take up for Jon, though he increasingly behaved like an idiot.
@@janellejulianajoyshe undermined Jon’s authority every chance she got.
Why do they wear the chain collar?
It's all smoke and mirrors for these two right?
Yes they faked all these fights to k1ll little finger
@@neville2308 and it makes no sense 💀
@@neville2308 They Didn't fake Jack, Sansa was going after Arya after that lil talk with Little Finger, she just Consulted Bran FIRST who give her far more than she ever expected, that was when she realised she was being Pitted against Arya with LF manipulation, and he was the course of more problems than they ever realise.
@@TwiceStruck
Yes, and that is when Arya and Sansa started faking their arguments, because they knew what Little Finger was up to, and that he was secretly spying on them as well. As a result, he thought he was getting away with yet another of his scheming plans to pit the sisters against each other, meanwhile they were just playing Baelish, until the day of his surprise trial.
@@neville2308 it's been confirmed all of there fight was real in s7, Confirmed by Scripts Sansa WAS gonna execute Ayra but went to Bran first (OFFSCREEN) and told her everything.
One understands the game, the other is Just a sad ignorant with a sword
Exactly 💯
Arya didn’t grow up around two faced nobles who could teach her how to lead, she grew up with death and a desire for revenge. She’s not just a “sad ignorant girl with a sword” she’s an assassin who was taught to kill to get what she needed. Of course she wouldn’t be good at politics. And Sansa didn’t understand the game either. She just stole all the bad personality traits of people who DID know how to play.
"We"
Arya's right. Sansa started all the problems because she's always thought herself better than everyone. She lied for and defended Joffrey because she wanted to be a princess. Everything that followed she brought on them and herself. I would've preferred Danaerys lived and Sansa died. What did Sansa contribute without causing problems for others?
Sansa contributed Jack sht. She spent most of the show being rescued. Saved from the Lannisters by Littlefinger, then saved again by him from Lysa, then it was Theon saving her from Myranda and the Boltons, then it was Brienne and Pod, then God knows who while she was in the crypt during the long night. She was annoying and useless the entire show. No one would care for her if her last name wasn't Stark
I'm sorry but when has Sansa ever believed herself to be better than everyone? 😂😂😂 Daenerys burned down an entire city, I think that alone is a bigger problem than the 'problems Sansa caused'. Besides Daenerys did what she had to do, if she hadn't helped the North she would have been a huge hypocrite.
@@thesella well she's not a warrior and back then she doesn't have an army she was living with her enemies by herself also danaerys would be like sansa if she doesn't have dragons
@Tota Toha she didn't have to be a warrior to stand up for herself. Even a pregnant Dany stood up to Viserys when he smacked her around. Sansa couldn't even do that to her aunt Lysa and she was the weakest of the bunch that tormented her
@Thesella she threatened to kill her and wasn't she like 14
Never been a fan of the cowardly Sonsa.
Every time I see a scene with Arya and Sansa, I think of this. Sansa should've turned into the cold-blooded warrior, and Arya should've turned ex warrior into a queen/politician. After everything Sansa went through, it just never feels right to me how 'normal' she is. And to me, Arya's journey would've made her a great leader. She could politic but make threats and back them up personally.
I never liked Sansa. Wanted her to die
Sansa has always been the evil stark
Strong women in media suck, not because they're strong like arya, but because they can never truly be weak and wrong like the writers done with salsa
Arya is so cute, but I bet she could gut your butt quick as a flash too. I bet some day SHE will have the crown.
Terrible dialogue. And Arya is coming off like an annoying twat. Inconsistent character writing. Like a poor version of Cersei and Joffrey talking about bending the north to their knees.
And you've wrote what ? When was your last film ? Damn ,just enjoy the show or go watch Alice in Wonderland.
@@apachec5589 If you ever go to a restaurant and the food happen to be terrible, remember: By your own logic you'll have no right to complain, unless you're a chef. If you're not, just go eat Subway or something.
@@apachec5589 You absolutely have the right to your opinion, which is fair. But I'm also allowed to criticize how they destroyed such a great series after I spent good money and time subscribing to HBO only for this show. I suppose the real problem is that I cared too much for the show and it's characters.... 😭
You’re an idi0t and never watched the show, clearly. This “terrible dialogue” is done so on purpose make them look bad and make you mad and confused and it is a RUSE to try and execute little finger and it worked and it was a great twist and gotcha moment on the show. It’s not inconsistent. In the end they tell everyone hey this was a fake thing we did this and pretended we hate each other to catch little finger. He tried to turn their mom and aunt against each other this same way so it was poetic and ironic and GOOD WRITING.
Wasn't this when Sansa and Arya were fake fighting so Baelish would believe his ploy succeeded?
Man I really get annoyed with Sansa every second of her being onscreen
In the beginning I did too from her naive stupidity and looking at the world through rose colored glasses. But I started like then love her character progression. In the show she is the only Stark's ending I rooted for and wished since she left the Vale to be the ruler of the North. Here's to the Queen in the North!
I wish I could be sorry for what sansa went through, but am not.
This is why Arya will always be better than Sansa
Sansa is right here tho.
Lol, sure, cut off the Lords’ heads over petty insults. Sure worked out for Robb when he cut off Karstark’s head, and his offense was worse than insults
She’ll always be better because She’s dumber?
Psycho arya annoyed me sooo much
Sansa is a curse to the Starks sorry not sorry 🤭
man the writing here was ASS
Why didn’t Sansa tell Jon about the Knights of the Vale ? Because she wanted to be queen !
Because she originally told Littlefinger to f*** off.
Because she did not want to ask Littlefinger for help and because then she was not even sure of their arrival. If she had told him, Jon would not have accepted Littlefinger's help.
Sansa is the worst stark. She deserved joffrey.
Bull crap writing
