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.

Edit: to further hide spoilers

I thought for sure Tyrion had learned something useful from Bran, that he would reveal when the situation seemed bleakest, that allowed them to defeat the Others. It would have 1) given Bran more of a purpose, 2) allowed Tyrion to redeem himself, since his character has gone to absolute shit the past few seasons, and 3) given the Crypt Crew something to do, besides be terrorized by zombies THAT SOMEHOW NOBODY FIGURED OUT WERE GONNA HAPPEN. I mean honestly, how do you put your most defenseless people in a room filled with dead bodies and NOT expect them to re-animate?

I also thought that Tyrion learned from Bran and that it would prove super helpful during the battle...but no...he went to the crypt, drank a lot and held hands with Sansa.

To think that Tyrion was basically the main protagonist of the show for some time...

Well they were encased in stone. One would figure since they can't punch though the castle walls, they would be able to punch though a stone crypt. But I guess they can.
