Complex, statistically improbable things are by their nature more difficult to explain than simple, statistically probable things.

To explain: It made a lot of people feel weird because she literally grew up on the show and she was viewed as a cool little sister. There was also a massive spike on Google searching for her age because everyone thought she was still a teenager.

It also boils down American values pretty well. Her character has been abused and trained as an assassin for years and has been shown murdering dozens of people on screen. Basically no one reacted negatively to any of that.

The actress is in her 20s and the character in her late teens at this point, the guy she had sex with is about the same age, and the moment was actually fairly nice and sweet relative to the rest of the series. I felt put off by it too, even though the first season had a character who was supposed to be 14 getting raped on screen then falling in love with the guy. Actually, typing that all out, I'm not sure why I still watch this show.

Personally I felt weird because the character has become a weird robot powered by smugness, but that's not Maisie Willams' fault.

Also that. Her story went off the rails the moment they ran out of book material.

No I'm trying to keep the thread I made for good tweets from turning into another loving GoT argument thread. Go to TVIV.

I guess explaining context to people who ask for an explanation is too much. Just post tweets yall, no talking.

I literally just said that explaining the context was good. We both know PYF is prone to spinning off into three-page media derails, and nipping this one in the bud is fine by me. Don't be a twerp.
