Millions tuned in to watch the Battle of Winterfell on Game of Thrones, and while most were pleased, that did not include everyone…
If you haven’t yet seen the most recent — and longest — episode, The Long Night, we suggest you stop reading here.
But, if you have, you’ll know that Arya Stark is an utter champion for defeating the Night King and basically saving the entire world.
That said, not everyone was as awed by that plot twist. Namely Kit Harington.
“I was surprised, I thought it was gonna be me!” the actor who plays Jon Snow told Entertainment Weekly.
Kit then got more serious and admitted that the role Maisie Williams’ character played was rather cool.
“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. The young lady sticks it to the man.”
Cheers for Arya!
