The 22-year-old actress admitted that even her boyfriend thought Jon Snow should be the one to kill the Night King, not her own alter ego Arya Stark.
LONDON - Maisie Williams thought Game of Thrones viewers would hate the surprise twist from this week's episode.
She said: "It was so unbelievably exciting. But 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 has 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.' You gotta make it cool.
He admitted: "I was surprised, I thought it was gonna be me! But I like it. It gives Arya's training a purpose to have an end goal. It's much better how she does it the way she does it. I think it will frustrate some in the audience that Jon's hunting the Night King and you're expecting this epic fight and it never happens - that's kind of Thrones. But it's the right thing for the characters. There's also something about it not being the person you expect.
She recalled to Entertainment Weekly: "I was coming into work and everybody was talking about episode 3 and [director Miguel Sapochnik] was like, 'Have you read the [season 3 script] yet?' "
