The Night King still be like 'I wasnt even on her list!?'
we miss this great series
Well, when she said 'not today' to the God of Death, that was a giveaway that the Night King would be on her list.

@@dwally4198 I like a show trying to subvert expectations and I would not expect it to stop doing that in its last season because that would mean wanting it to be something it wasn't. You want an uncomplicated ending that makes you feel good inside? That was never the aim of this show and I'm glad we got a messy, open-ended conclusion to the story.
@@Regenmacher175 Firstly the not today to the god of death has nothing to do with her list what are u even talking about second the final seasons did subvert expectations in the way that they went from the greatest writing on television to the laziest and worst I've seen
maisie was perfect in this role, from beginning to end. this girl is wonderfully talented!
Gonna cry?
Couldn't agree more
@@fatfrankthepeteacher36 yes
meh she was pretty cringe in season 7&8
@@2jz-boi so true. Her smile and whole persona are so childish
Tyrion and Arya are my 2 favorite characters in Game of Thrones. Glad they both survived.
Even tough they were not written as well in the later seasons the actors Peter and Maisie were what made me love them with how you could almost see their souls through their eyes
yea, Arya has one of the best character development
Nobody survived. Every character was murdered by season 8
Come to think of it, Arya was one of the extremely few main characters Tyrion never really interacted with.
He had mutual respect with Jon.
Befriended and helped Sansa.
Helped take care of Bran and made him King.
Worked with Daenerys until he didn't.
Brother to Jamie and Cersei.
But nothing really with Arya.
Same 👍
I heard that the episode where Ed Sheeran guest starred was a birthday surprise from the crew just for Maisie. She wan't aware of it until it was time to film. if that is true that is just too sweet.
Arya and Hound best duo ever
Arya and Tywin, second best duo ever.
@@LukeKetchum7003 Arya and Roose Bolton! jk that was crap in the books compared to Tywin. Best change they made from the books to show imo was changing that relationship from Arya and Roose Bolton to Arya and Tywin
I would totally love to see your whole show about aria and the hound
as well as Dany/Jorah
@@taytay1030 But sadly they weren't couple.
Maisie started out the series looking like she was 8 and then for the rest of the show she was frozen at looking like she was 13/14, even in her early 20s
Could we get a 5 to 10 episode Black Sails style mini series about Arya's adventures to the west? I'm sure Maisie would say yes in a heartbeat!
💥
They’re definitely gonna make that because you
@@Alababm Yup in a few years when they create this series, come back to this comment and thank me.
@@MFBloosh I will
It’s kinda stupid, because what else would she do, unless there is some bad boys in every place she goes and she would take them off one by one
I truly believe Arya Stark is one of the most fantastic characters ever. Like her entire story arc was so well done. And I think Maisie Williams is part of what made Arya Stark so powerful. The fact she was able to grow up in the role as Arya grew up is part of what made it so amazing and special.
Until she became a smug, plain faced Deus Ex Arya who could easily beat Brienne in combat, despite being trained for maybe a year and a half as an assassin, not a warrior. Arya was terrible in season 6-8.
@@adampeel6161 amen!!!
@@adampeel6161 idk i thought she became even more powerful, i liked her
@@adampeel6161 She did not "beat" Brienne. The scene was literally done masterfully and showed how since it was only training, Brienne also did not know that she was even nearly this skilled, so after a second she tuned up to like 10x more and "fought" her. Not only that, but Aryas fight style is for fast, agile movements with an extremely light "sword" all while she is extremely small and therefore a small target, while Brienne is an extremely high Human overall too. You are just angry that season 7 and 8 made many mistakes and it wasnt that good, so that you know see the wrong in everything, even when it is the opposite at all. I pity you
@@Guzioo Arya trained for what, less than a year and a half? Didn't even complete the training, beat the waif in the dark despite still being injured from being stabbed in the stomach multiple times, then decides to leave. Now she's a smug Mary Sue who can defeat any opponent, even the living embodiment of death itself after literally teleporting behind him. I pity you for swallowing this fucking garbage
It really struck me that she said it had changed her family's lives as well - I've never heard that from an actor before, but for a person her age being able to support your family like that would be an unbelievable gift. How lovely.
Both the stark girls, Sansa and arya said their last words to Sandor as thank you.
He was the one who didn't swear like brienna to protect them for life but he was ready to give his life up for them.
And that's just great, No matter how tough you're from outside but you always care for the one's you love.
i’ve been watching all these videos and let’s be real here: the whole cast couldn’t have been any better. literal perfection. world class acting from maisy williams, nikolaj coster-waldau, lena headey, peter dinklage, emilia clarke, the list goes on. All these individuals are superstars. (PSA: thank you to everyone except for the directors who ruined the final season)
writers*
@@goldendovah7613 and showrunners.
I am happy that we all saw her grow into the heartless assassin we all love and adore. I still get a lump in my throat in the scene of the Night King.
@@jamescaneda9515 it was almost good, ended up destroying her charcater and developement, and turning her into a character i cant like, there are certain points in time in the show where I did like her. but the way it ended, horrible.
Maisie, a right-handed girl trained sword-fighting with her left hand, just to commit to the character. She was, I'm pretty sure 13 at the time when she made this decision, that too on her own, and stuck with it until the end. She is Arya Stark- brave and bold
Honestly her scenes with Tywin are the best in the show. Every minute he’s teaching her while watching her for mistakes and when his men come in and talk about how they need to find her and kill Robb. That’s where she uses what Tywin has been teaching her to stay under the radar.
And don't forget at the time, Maise was still a beginner and was going up against Charles Dance...to do such a thing and have those scenes insanely turn out excellent.
I love how he is completely aware and shows a fondness for her, after what she endured with Ned
@@AH-ph3cb What are you talking about...he had zero idea that she was Arya Stark...if he did he would have had her locked up as a prisoner to use as leverage in the war...& he most definitely wouldn't have been treating her like a servant & making her poor drinks & be a gopher...she would have been treated like the high born she was.
@@chaosh7040 He probably knew she was hiding something, but he didn't know she was Arya Stark. They were literally looking for her so there's no way he would've kept his mouth shut about this.
Maisie made Arya an incredible character. She is an amazing actor and seems like a lovely vibrant young woman. Smart as a whip and I hope she has so much success in future. What an incredible experience to have involved in such a great show for 10 years! She grew up on the show. Love her. I can imagine her and Sophie are just hilarious when they are together. They should make a film together.
It could never be made. they would spend too much time giggling together.
I never got bored watching a Arya scene, really good character and talented actress
The greatest character on Game of Thrones. Regardless of how you feel about Season 8, I think we can all agree that Arya had an amazing story arc. She deserves a special place in all of our hearts. I love her so much.
Her arc was shitty. Just like almost all of theirs. One of the biggest points about the story is that despite whatever the world throws at them, the Starks remain honorable. One of Sansa's redeeming characteristic was that she could find it in her heart to forgive and that she was compassionate and not Cersei 2.0. Arya's arc was despite going through all the shit (watching people killed, watching the red wedding and all that) she was still compassionate. In the end she couldn't bring herself to kill the Hound who took care of her. In the end she refused to go through with the assassination of Lady Crane only because someone had paid money. She refused to give up her identity. She refused to become a stone cold assassin with no feelings. From there on the sisters became cold bitches who straight up used Dany and her army and refused to give anything in return. This was done in an effort to show "women power". All it did was turn them into cardboard characters. And this was the difference. In S6 Sansa Jon reunion brought people to tears. In S8 we felt nothing for anyone's reunion. So no, her arc was as horrible as the rest
100% agree
Her and Jon Snow had the strongest plot Armor of the show. And I agree with Lucifer, from season 5 her arc becomes really bad, the all faceless man thing was very poorly executed.
@@luciferparker5063 I 100% agree, I hated Sansa and Arya's behavior towards Daenerys in s8, but if you think about it from their pov it does make sense.
Daenerys was a foreign invader who knows nothing about Westeros except through books and what others have told her so obviously they're going to choose Jon as their Ruler over Daenerys because they don't know her story like us fans do.
To them Daenerys is a stranger who is trying to control everyone which is why Sansa acted so cold to her during their meeting and why they paralleled that scene to the pilot when we met Cersei. It's supposed to show and remind us fans what happened last time the Starks bowed down to someone and why Sansa doesn't trust her.
Daenerys is my favorite character of the entire series and I literally cried for how she was treated in s8. Although I feel that way, I can't be completely mad at why Sansa and Arya would treat Daenerys the way that they did. They were just trying to protect their family and their home.
@@ahsoka5216 What made me mad isn't how they treated her. What made me mad is how they used her. In S8E4 Arya just says we needed her and her army. And we don't trust her. Sansa says we're helpful for her help. But we won't kneel. So what will u do Sansa? What will you do in return for her basically saving your asses because without her you had no chance. That's exactly what Lannisters would do. Use someone for their causes and throw them away. I hated what they did to the Starks, when if you think about it, they're the central family. D&D are the sort of people who think that the moral of GoT is that being good leads to destruction. No it isn't. Tywin and Gregor die. Same as Ned or Catelyn or Robb. The moral is that actions have consequences. Also you say they didn't know her. In the same scene as above, Arya says I don't want to know her. That's my problem. And this is coming from Arya who loved dragons and Visenya Targaryen. Also all there are scenes where Arya smirks after brutally killing people. That's just a bid to show badassery. And it's horrible. You can have Arya kill the all the Freys if you want. But it absolutely can not be a fist pump/"yeah way to go Arya, that was so badass!" moment, never to be mentioned again or giving a second of thought to just how broken a person you'd have to be to do that and smile after. I mean it can be, but it's stupid and misses the whole point of the source material. If anyone's going to do that in the books it will be Stoneheart, a literal revenge monster twisted beyond all recognition.
Same thing with Meryn Trant. "Just make him a pedo rapist so she can brutally torture and kill him with 0 nuance or remorse". The idea of a teenage girl being made into a brutal, remorseless murderer by her circumstances shouldn't be presented as cool. It should be disturbing and sad.
Arya, Daenerys and Tyrion - best GOT characters.
Jaime and so much more...
Jon, Arya, tyrion
Nah... Baristen Selmy and Maester Amon
Baelish, Tywin and Jon
Arya and Daenerys story arcs were literally my favorites! I thought theirs was just the most interesting and had a lot going on since we got to see more of the world through their pov
Arya hitting the bullseye to show up bran in the very first ep is still remains one of my all time favorite moments on the show.
Arya is my all time favourite ♥️
Same
They ruined her too.
"she's the smartest person I know"
The pack survives.. a few moments later.. "that's alright I don't need anyone"
"I know a killer when I see one".
And the idiots who remained in S8 didn't even figure out to use her talents to kill Cersei and the horny pirate which would have made the last war into something which didn't need to happen
Bring on the books!
Maisie Williams was indeed the perfect choice for Arya. Proud to call her a fighter and a Queen. 👑
Maise was born to play Arya character on GOT. She was just perfect. From an innocent tomboy mischievous little girl to a tough badass young woman
If HBO is going to bring us the Snyder cut then they can bring us 10 seasons of GOT
I wish.
10?
GRR said he envisioned 13 so probably a few more
I expect 16 the very least.
and clearly redo 7&8. At least 8 for the love of god
She was amazing ... Born to play the part and her acting ability could be seen improving in every single scene. The stuff with Arya and Tywin was pure gold.
Touching moment-The Hound and Brienne bonding over Arya like proud parents.
"I'm lucky to play Arya and no scene is ever boring"
👏👏👏
Maisie did a wonderful job as Arya Stark. She nailed her role up to the final season.
Happy GoT anniversary, Happy MaraThrone 🍷
up to s8? she did great throughout that shit it was the shit writing
@@onlinefool9931 I think we're saying the same thing.
@@Divine_Chareka oh i thought u meant except s8
3:44that smile , that damm smile!😍
Ah yes, Arya "Be careful, I know a killer when I see one" Stark, in the episode following The Bells. Quality writing as always
I adore her laugh so much
Having arya serving tywin as a cupbearer in the series was a great enrichment to tywins charakter and created an interesting dynamic. I really liked that.
Arya should have killed Cersei with the face of Jamie.
But nope, as per the greatest writers in the world, stone and brick it is.
I’m still so mad about the last season and what could have been, and that lazy wacko GRRM is never finishing those books
2:48 for me, this was the best dynamic in the series.
The Hound: “You left me to die!”... Arya: “First I robbed you!”
One of the storylines that was disappointingly unfulfilled was Arya’s & the skills of the “faceless men”. Maybe a spin-off will fulfill the promise.
I don' want it, I don't expect anyone to be competent enough to write it right
@@Hirnlego999 really... imagine if they could get that storyline right. It was one of the most intriguing storylines of the whole GOT!
We need Zack Snyder's GOT season 8
Sounds good to me.
Least it would be long enough
Maisie IS Arya Stark, no one else would have fit so well in this roll🥰. I can’t even imagine anyone else as Arya! She was wonderful, and I feel she should be very proud of herself & this accomplishment ❤️
"All these lessons had to lead to something"
Jamie: what?
Watch PAPER MOON with Tatum O'Neal(rough Orphan) and her Dad Ryan ONeal(stranger scoundrel criminal) and that character story dynamic is the outline for Arya & the Hound
The moment she returns back to winterfell after so long... Was so satisfying.
When s8 began I really imagined the ending of Arya's story is she survives the long Night and the final war for the throne, Arya marrying Gendry who doesnt become a lord but gets legitimized as a Baratheon pluz surviving the war and she not becoming a lady,but out of love and choice.cuz she never had a choice for that since she and Gendry have fallen in love, Arya and Gendry sailing to whats West of Westeros before settling in Storm's End as master and mistress of the castle pluz generals of their own army and starting a family or as hand of the queen or kingof the north and master of war of the king or queen of the north and living in winterfell or without titles and the old traditions standing in their way
I was so certain Arya would kill Cercei either as Jamie... or Tyrion (but I hoped not Tyrion)
Maisie was the most perfect Arya. When reading the ASOIAF series she is so close almost exactly what I pictured Arya to look like and she got Aryas personality perfect. She will forever be the image that comes to my head when I read those books again 😁
No, Maisie, you were not a wuss in regards to Ned's last moments in life...unless we're all wusses. So many classic moments with this character, so many interesting relationships she had with different characters: Syrio, Tywin, Jaqen, the Hound. One of the most interesting arcs on the entire show. And she played it beautifully.
I would've loved more Arya and Tywin scenes because their dynamic always seemed interesting to me
I remember i liked jon from the very first episode but i loved arya characters along the way ...i mean it developed along the show...she was so brave...i felt her pain...she was all alone..she survived and survived so well..she took the real revenge....
“Sandor. Thank you” still makes me 🥲
the fall in views shows how much dissapointed fans have been .
~~~ From the moment she yelled "LIAR!" in Season One, you knew they found a firecracker. What a character. BRAVO
I hate that I just can't seem to be that impressed with Maisie Willams when I see her in any other context than playing Arya. At 63, I've watched a million hours of television and fell in love with a hundred characters, but none has ever touched me like Arya Stark from Winterfeld. It is a great testament to the acting of this incredible young girl. We will all go to our graves with the death of the Night King, still close to the tops of our memories.
Did she keep the sword? She better
Arya has the best ending in game of thrones,all the people on her list is dead,she get to be a faceless girl,she get to kill the night king and be the hero of winterfell,and she get to f***ed gendry.
I like her, I love her, her portrayal of Arya was magnificent to see, but 6:20 is the moment it all shattered. The last bit of belief in the series just crumbled away for me.
I hate writing this under a video that so beautifully and deservedly celebrates her acting ability, but I had to say it, I had to let it out. I'm sorry, Miss Williams.
This is just The Cast Remembers being reuploaded and added The Iron Anniversary thing, isn't it?
What do we say to the God of Death?
*Arya: Not Today.*
Like if Arya Stark the best Character in GOT 🖤
Maisie, you are an incredibly talented young woman, and I'm so grateful we had you be Arya for Game of Thrones, it's been an honor to watch you grow.
Arya is still one of my favourite characters
And I really simp her, especially due to her lust for revenge
Arya might have got a bit "too cool" in later seasons, but Maisie portrayed her brilliantly.
Can’t wait to see her in more HBO or movies. Incredible talent, I ain’t in a hurry, that woman gave 10 years to us. Let her have some life to herself👍. As long as she returns!
The most fun character on the show!
Best character In the whole fucking show. Missing my girl 🖤
People that don't like how it ended, or Think the actors didn't either, just need to watch these videos to see that they DID love the show.... they ALL did a great job!
This is why I want to be an actor
7:44
Love Maisie!!!❤️ wish she had more movies after GoT
My favorite scene is not in the books (I don't believe Arya would say "seven hells!" as she's a northener), but her reply to Sansa's complaints and her expression makes me enjoy that scene everytime.
maybe a miracle will happen and they remake season 8
Every scene you’ve ever been.. was my favourite.. absolute favourite ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Maisie - The show steeler ❤️🔥🔥
Dear Maisie played the most favourite character, as this one has been the most viewed video of the decade series. The last frame in this video should be the first frame of "Arya Stark" sequel
Happy Iron Anniversary
What would it have been for Syrio Forell to see that she killed the Night King..
She’s the only reason I watched game of thrones. Such an amazing character and incredible story line, I love how opposite she was to sansa and was proud of it. Never changed who she was and did everything she could to defend her family. Such a badass.
i miss show so freaking mcuh it literally was saving me and now when everything ended I have a feekng that everyone just forgot that this show even existed though it was the most anticipated show in the whole world and I feel so sad like it has never existed like a piece of past it hurts(
She was the best assasin from house stark ... Seeing her kill Enemies was so satisfying.
She was in action throughout series. While others played mind games.
We've adored you endlessly, Maisie. Thank you for being a part of this great adventure that we've all taken together.
And I am still watching it over and over. Thank you Maisie for bringing that world to life for us all :D
Two great character transformation in game of thrones,tyron lanister and arya stark.I enjoyed your character a lot...
Wonder woman is good but she's no Arya stark of winter fell
No matter what you think of how the show ended, Maisie Williams was one of the best things about GofT and it's been amazing to see her as an actress and it will be interesting to see where she takes her career from here.
I think out of all the characters, Arya's storyline has been the very interesting one to follow, she's been to a lot of places with lots of people (even Tywin!), and Maisie's definitely right, no scene of her was ever boring. Despite a crappy series ending, I have to thank the writers for not killing Arya.
Best character on the show. Brann didn’t have “The Best Story.”
Happy Iron Anniversary
When I think of GOT.. I think of Maisie first.
Remember the story isn't finished yet. The REAL story is still being written.
I can't wait to read what GRRM has planned for Arya. The show was just a preview.
If Maisie truly lived the role...then she is emotionally scarred and will end up badly.
She was one reason I was watching GOT all the way to the very end ❤️
Arya will always and forever be my favorite character 🥰
Arya was indeed the coolest character on the show. She got to live every child's dream and go on numerous adventures and she creates some of the most satisfying moments on the show. Destroying House Frey, executing Littlefinger and killing The Night King. Even though I think he deserved a more iconic death. But I'm glad she was far from a 1 dimensional person. And I hope she finds something more interesting west of Westeros.
Can anyone tell me the name of the last song that was played on this video?
The Great Arya Stark.
She truly is one of the best, on and off the set, I would think.
Still pissed Arya didn’t get to kill Cercei
an Arya spinoff is definitely needed, after GOTs she is sailing west, let's see her kick some ass there with some nicely timed cameos.
1:24
Arya Stark:I couldn't stop forgetting that pain
Ilyn Payne: I see what you did there.
I think it’s time to start a marathon
We did one, we're now on season 6 and I'm already crying so hard! I don't want it to end.. Again 😭😂
I love Arya Stark but Maisie don't seem any bit of Arya now.. how could she be so proud of her character when she never talk abt Arya, or talks like her, or characterize herself like Arya.
Who won the Game of Thrones? No one.
Who sits on the Iron Throne at the end? Arya Stark of Winterfell.
How I wish she would be Arya Stark forever 😢 A worthy Stark for the Iron Throne!
I'm still waiting for the announcement of "West of Westeros" c'mon guys
Arya was my favourite character..all those scenes with faceless men training were the best..made so much sense!
That one line of Masie...if I don't do anything I will be happy...was so touching!
There's nothing like Game of Thrones!
A girl is an excellent actor . A man is her big fan .
I loved so many characters on the show, but I think Arya is the character that I suffered the most. I was worried every time about Arya, and cried in lot of scenes. I'll never forger Arya Stark. Love you, Maisie.
I wish Maisie good fortune wherever life takes her next for she has well earned it.
We still love you Arya
Maisie Williams did such a great job the whole time. Growing up on a tv show and staying a good character is very difficult. Even though she had nothing to do in the last season after the Night King’s death. Not Maisie’s fault tho.
