Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended

Dany will kill Jon Snow before the season is out. All she has known is the quest for the throne and now because of a man it would be out of reach. Nope, as much as she may claim to love Jon Snow, she loves power the most.
 
She's like 22, obviously it can seem kinda weird because we remember her as a kid when the show started but she's a fully-grown adult now and her character is presumably supposed to be of adult age as well.

Agent work goes heavily into this. She’s an actress that will want to work afterwards. She had star power going in to season 8 that she will never have again. Agents will actively seek to further their clients careers. “You will present my client in a certain light” will be part of a contract. If she wants to be considered an adult actress and not a kid, a super straight-bat sex scene is an easy path.

It definitely didn't. She said herself in an interview that she thought D&D were pranking her when she saw the script. Apparently they also left it up to her to decide how naked to get in it. I guess her response was "crack and sideboob".

It was really weird to watch. I get that she's 18 in it or whatever and wants to get dicked before she dies but we really didn't need to see any of it actually happening.
 
Arya’s been a trained child assassin for several seasons now who literally slits people’s throats and feeds people their offspring in pies but god forbid she gets her end away.
 
I think we can all agree that another Missandei sex scene would've been the better approach.

Fair play to Grey Worm, manages to nab the hottest woman in the show without having a dick, dudes got game.

Theon should stop being sad and shit and take a leaf out of his book.

Isn't that the point? She's always been portrayed as a child in this show

Considering I don’t know (or care) what D&D means, tells you my level of effort in my suggestion.

The point is irrelevant here seemingly. Post remains valid as a point though.
 
Why? You didn’t mind seeing her stab someone in the eyes?

There's a huge difference... everyone knows she's not actually killing people/stabbing people in the eye, but she is actually getting half naked (I guess it might have been a body double - but that's not what you think when

It wasn't a body double, assuming she's truthful in her interviews.

Maisie Williams is 22 - Emilia Clarke was 24 when she got naked in S1 and the collective internet lost the plot... The only difference here is that you still think of Arya as a little kid, but she's a grown woman on the set of a series, it's not that special or awkward imo.
 
This is feckin weird lads. Can we get back to the TV show.

And that the show portrays her as a kid. (until this episode at least)
 
I thought the whole thing was just odd. Could have been handled differently and I could have done without it too.
 
Possible Jon & Danny resolution...

In the big battle, something happens where Jon is overwhelmed by a load of wights and the night king, Danny has no option but to get Drogon to burn them all. The dust clears and all that is left is a naked and undamaged Jon. Danny sees that he is a true Targ and they live happily ever after as king and queen.
Dont think she doubts who he says he is. And that’s precisely the crux of the problem.
 
She could be 30 years old, still doesn't mean she doesn't look like a child, or change the fact that we've literally seen her grow up from when she was a child.

Also - as I just edited in, the show hardly portrays her as an adult in the same way that it portrays say Sansa... half of her character is people being shocked that this little girl is a stone-cold killer.
Am I the only one that wished they showed Arya fully naked? :nervous:
 
She's supposed to be 18 years old right now though...

I get that (though has that been stated in the show? Not that it needs to be, just curious... has the show ever dealt with ages?) - but nobody has ever treated her as an adult, nor has she really ever acted like one either. She's basically gone from child, to child assassin... with the point being everyone being surprised/shocked that she's a child who is also an assassin.

Probably not, and there's nothing wrong with that either to be fair.

It made me uncomfortable, it probably made lots of people comfortable (i genuinely couldn't think of what the opposite of uncomfortable was for a minute there...) .... neither is wrong way to feel about the scene I would say.
 
The only thing about that scene that made me uncomfortable, was the acting.
 
Yeah because that's the same thing :lol:

How dare I be uncomfortable at seeing her naked. Shame on me. I should have my eyes held open so I have to look at her.
The audience is seemingly fine with Arya acting like an adult in SOME ways (eg murder), but anything approaching sexualisation of Arya is utterly unacceptable, apparently. If you personally take issue with seeing the actress half naked because, to you, she looks like a kid/has been on the show as a kid, that’s fine. Everyone has their opinions. I don’t get it but whatever.
But if you think the character of Arya shouldn’t be having sex in the show, that’s bonkers.

If it was weird for us, imagine how the actor playing Gendry must have felt.

Nobody is saying that, read the last few posts. I literally said I have no issue with her having sex.

Personally I think the weirdos in here are the ones who seem to have an issue with people finding it uncomfortable watching her be naked on screen. Also "well she kills people and you don't mind so you shouldn't mind seeing her naked" doesn't exactly cut it.

if your sister punched someone in the face would it then be wrong if you didn't want to watch her suck a dick?

EDIT: Maybe those weirdos shouldn't answer that one
 
Yeah but.. what's the point of it being in here if it has nothing to do with her and GoT, then?

Because it was suggested to be a cause.
Was proven to not be.

Remains a fact, even if not applicable to this case.

I’m not going to go back and delete the post.

Agent impact throughout GoT is notable.

Remembering some of the stuff Joe Dempsie got up to in Skins I'd say this was relatively tame for him.
