What is his "job" here and how did he get it? What did the other girls do, or supposedly do? I didn't get this far in the series, it was stressing me out.
The fact that she starts by binding him, first in one eye then the other, then stabs him enough to slow him down, rather than just going directly to a throat slit, makes it clear that even at this point Arya is a stone cold assassin. How could viewers be surprised at her actions after this? "Ooh, she's scary!" Compare this to her taking out the Ice King... This is personal.

Yes, she took pains to give him a rather slow death, letting him know he was dying. Usually she did her deed much quicker. ps. I wonder if she knew it was him whom so happily did beat up Sansa on Joffreys order?
Not to mention she denied him the pleasure of causing pain like he likes, all while using it to ensure she was alone with him and cud take her time. Her calculations are so many and so unpredictable

Lol I was so shocked when I first decided to watch GOT like THERE WAS LITERAL LOOKING INTESTINES WHEN THEY CUT THE BELLY OF A MAN💀which scared the hell out of me and made me watch it the next year😅
@@Scarecrow545 It's not that I literally love killings but rather at least a realistic version of it in a series or movie. Compared to others where the main character died after being stabbed for 30 times, hit by an arrow 10km away, and then talked for 5 mins before dying. Is that what you want? Then clearly your standard is very low.
I love how this show (and others) often made getting your throat slit seem like it's sleepy time. It's my understanding that you don't just lay over and die but rather there's a fair amount of gurgling and I'm guessing it takes a minute to die of suffocation and/or drowning in your own blood. Maybe I'm wrong. But whatever, seeing Arya get a few extra stabs in there before the finishing blow was satisfying. Meryn had it coming.
I would assume the gurgling would only happen if you cut into the wind pipe and blood gets in. Otherwise if you cut too shallow you'd just cut veins and artilleries and the person would bleed out.
It's not just the suffocation or drowning in blood. It's the sudden loss of blood supplying the brain. That can be pretty much sleepy time. All depends on what's actually cut.
There's a book, "On Killing" where the author explains that we have a natural repulsion to stabbing people. The impulse is to slice, which is usually ineffective and slow. Soldiers have to be trained to overcome the urge to slice and have to be taught to stab instead. Stabbing the kidneys is usually faster, cleaner, and is generally just more effective if the intention is to kill.
She never completed her list though. Cersei was on that list (killed by bricks). And so were Ilyn Payne (fate unknown), Tywin Lannister (toilet accident), Joffrey (death by marriage) and Melisandre.
She basically became super woman in the last season and should have been killed by dragon fire multiple times but I guess she was kept alive purely for fan service
@@jorgeserna8411 Yeah. I loved her character right up until she came back to the Seven Kingdoms at the end. She changed, she lost her core personality traits and became a Terminator. Before she came back to the Seven Kingdoms she was epic though. I just think the writers stopped caring about character in the race to the finish... they ruined so many good characters... Arya, Little Finger, Varys and of course TYRION.
"Meryn Trant?! The greatest swordsman killed by Meryn fucking Trant?!" This is why Sandor had zero regard for Trant; Trant's incompetence as a warrior is secondary.
Watching how helpless and pathetic he is trying to grovel. And knowing he liked to make little girls feels exactly like that. What a sweet ending to one of the most despised characters in GOT. Ian Beattie was absolutely incredible as the character. As had a lot less screen time then other villains of the show. But we still hated him just as much as the others.
I got some friends that run cons and stuff like that. Said fella was one of the most sweet and chill etc. of actors they worked with. Him and the guy who played Gimli.
Many of the scenes in this show were difficult AF, kudos and bravo to those that sold their performances so well that there were actual genuine emotions and responses from people across all spectrums.
@wickedwitchoftheeast88 I don't know anything about him, but l was just thinking that this must have been a very difficult scene for him to shoot. His performance here was spectacular. Such a great portrayal of an absolutely vile character.
Yeah their cries of pain are so real and raw...not a scream, but actual cry of pain. Kudos to the actresses, it made me very uncomfortable watching it.
She should have been the one to kill Jamie and Cersei with Taunting them about how she does her own work and is better than the lannister trio combined
@@Scarecrow545 Exactly. GOT fans: "Man this ending was so trash. GOT was better when it was unpredictable and characters were vulnerable." Also GOT fans: "Here's my ending: Jon kills the Night King, Arya kills Lannisters while speaking pure cringe and Daenerys rules happily ever after"
Severing the veins in the neck = nearly instant loss of consciousness. The loss of blood pressure shuts down higher brain functions in mere seconds. Ever stand up too fast and everything goes dark and swimmy for a moment? Like that, but much worse.
In the final episodes I wanted to see Arya find Jamie dead from the stab wounds that Euron gave him and take his face. Then she would find Cersei and stab her, making her think that her brother/lover had killed her. After that I'd want Arya to help the Hound fight the Mountain and Arya would die so that Sandor could live and have a good life as a night. I didnt think Arya would be able to ever throw off her killer instinct and live a normal life
Agreed with every step except the last. I'd want Arya on the Iron Throne. She's literally the ONLY high born to have shown (from her very first scene and in EVERY one of her scenes) that she considers lowborn commoners on her level. Literally EVERY other possibility (including Jon Snow) at some point orders others around. Even Bran...
I never understood how taking a face works for size differences. Like I get it Arya can take Jamie's face and look like him, but how can she be bigger and have a body structure like Jamie?
Arya almost always makes a point of revealing her identity to her victims. I think she believes that to be a vital part of revenge (I agree). The only time she didn't do it was when she poisoned House Frey, and I always felt that took away from that scene. She wouldn't kill Cersei as Jamie. She'd use his face to get close and kill her after revealing herself.
My heart was totally broken when realised that syrio forel died I think that was the best thing done by GOT that they don't show syrio dying but at this point 🌝🌝
Books always have more layers/depth because there is no limit on screen time due to the absence of the visualization . That’s just pointless to point that out
@@skankhunt-wy9wy You're saying GRRM chumped out because he hasn't finished writing? Maybe he wants his book to be incredibly good, and doesn't want to release something that he will not be proud of. Perhaps you should write it instead. I'm sure you could do a much better job, right?
Nice detail is, Arya didnt just come as an avenger in name of all the beaten girls... But she was herself one of them, and thus, could witness and judge with 100% accuracy... And killed in all theirs name. No suspicion of bad rumors or blackmail...
I still say that Syrio Forel was Jaquen Hgar the faceless man. We never see Syrio killed onscreen, and it doesn't make sense that Syrio could not evade and take out Trant with ease. If Syrio was really Jaquen then it was just the first instance where Arya was manipulated by the Faceless Men to lead her to becoming the assassin who would one day kill the Night King
It doesn't even work timeline wise, since Jaqen H'ghar was already in the black cells, and waiting to be shipped to the wall when Syrio Forel was giving Arya her last lesson. Syrio was good, but Trent had armor, and a big fcking sword... and several Lannister soldiers as back-up, as we saw them getting back to their feet while Arya ran...
His breathing and facial expressions at the very start is the most disturbing part. The sick thrill of anticipation he gets is soooooo fucked up. Well acted
@@mr.v2689 Anyone who messes with a teenage girl with a violent streak that would put Jack the Ripper to shame, who walks around with a kill list and almost raped the first guy she ever had should definitely be grown.
The girls reminds me of my little nieces who I treat as my own daughters. Meryn deserves his fate, either Arya would do it or I will.. anyway bravo to the actors who brilliantly portrays the characters
That whole “beating little girls” line from Tyrion felt like a throwaway until this happened
Off all Arya's kills this was most satisfying...
Killing all of the Freys was my favorite scene
*of
Agreed
Fuck yeah it was.
You guys must be forgetting Little Finger.
Damn he really DOES have a fetish for beating up little girls, I thought Bronn was only talking about him beating Sansa in the throne hall.
He did beat Sansa, it’s in the show!
@thearmchairjournalist566 no shit Sherlock
I've sensed sadistic n*nce
Meryn was a sadist: He got off on beating up Sansa and other helpless girls, until Arya served him right.

Meryn trant was an ass hole but wasnt super hated like some of the major characters. so the writers decided to make him a pedaphile XD
For everything he did to Sansa... seems to me like poetic justice.
ironic, considering sansa and arya's history

She never completed her list though. Cersei was on that list (killed by bricks). And so were Ilyn Payne (fate unknown), Tywin Lannister (toilet accident), Joffrey (death by marriage) and Melisandre.
