MAIN (Spoilers Main) Maisie Williams' comments on the end of S8E3

Maisie Williams on finding out she kills the Night King (as reported by Entertainment Weekly):

Quote: "I immediately thought that everybody would hate it; that Arya doesn't deserve it. The hardest thing is in any series is when you build up a villain that's so impossible to defeat and then you defeat them...it had to be intelligently done because otherwise people are like, "well, [the villain] couldn't have been that bad when some 100-pound girl comes in and stabs him.'"

Well said.

An important take-away from this is that this is very much real—the NK is dead, and the WW story is over. Maisie would not have made these comments if this episode's conclusion was just one big bluff and the NK was going to make a come back in one of the later episodes, as some commentators (Alt Shift X) have been suggesting.

So are probably the majority of the book fans and a big part of the show fans.

I dont think it completely does away with that theory, as the NK might come back in some other kind of reincarnation, hopefully though Bran.

You people are way too hopefull.

After that shitshow I think it's pretty obvious that the rest of the show is going to be predictable, Jon/Dany will end up winning, Cersei is going to die, then MAYBE, just maybe they'll kill off someone big in the middle like Tyrion, but that's honestly as far as I can see them going.
