Game of Thrones’ Maisie Williams still wishes Arya killed Cersei

Published

Game of Thrones wrapped up filming more than a year ago. Some of the fans were disappointed by the final season, whereas for others it was perfect. The controversial final season also divided the cast into two groups, one supporting the eighth season and the other wanting more.

Maisie Williams starred as the many-faced assassin Arya Stark in the acclaimed series. Though she was one of the main protagonists and had one of the best storylines on the show, she wishes Arya had one last kill under her belt. Maisie wanted Arya to be the one to kill Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey).

Even up to the point where [Cersei is] with Jaime, I thought he’s going to whip off his face [and be revealed as Arya], and they were both going to die. I wanted her to kill Cersei, even if it meant [Arya] dies.” She explained in the book Fire Cannot Kill A Dragon, written by Entertainment Weekly editor James Hibberd.

Maisie’s wish seems reasonable, as Cersei was always on Arya’s kill list. The Golden Lioness was the main reason for all the trouble in the Stark family. It was plausible for Arya to have punished her for her deeds.

Cersei’s death on the show was controversial amongst the fans, as many wanted her to have a more deserving fate. How would you have wanted the Lion Queen to die? Let us know in the comments below!

Every big project faces criticism during the course of its completion. Game of Thrones created a lot of controversy with its final season. The epic fantasy is popular among fans and critics alike for the bold concept of the show. The series was voted as the best TV show of the 21st century by Digital Spy readers. Game of Thrones cast members Liam Cunningham and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau shared their views about the controversy on the occasion.

Liam Cunningham (Davos): “They’re challenging the audience with this stuff. Some of the violence in it is jaw-dropping, some of the sex is extraordinary. You couldn’t do it on a network. It reflects the spirit of the books. George is a fantastic writer. And Peter Dinklage is one of the finest actors. But to have a show where basically the lead character is a dwarf, you’ve got incest, you’ve got all sorts of stuff in it. Imagine pitching this to various networks. You’d be on your own in the room pitching it after about two minutes.”

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime): “I think usually as an actor you… build on your own experience. This particular aspect of his character was different. Having a relationship, an intimate relationship, with your own sister… it’s a mouthful. But what is interesting and I think what you can relate to is that you fall in love with someone you shouldn’t fall in love with, or someone it would be really inappropriate but you can’t help yourself.

“Of course, also it is a different world. If you go back a couple of hundred years, the whole idea that royal families would marry cousins – it’s not that far [away].”

Game of Thrones was a celebration of fantasy, art and medieval culture. The show broke all records of viewership numbers and set the bar for TV shows really high. The fantasy series still holds the record for the most number of Emmy Awards won. Game of Thrones has always been a topic of controversy throughout its run due to its bold scenes. The show’s stars Mark Addy and Sophie Turner explained to Digital Spy why they were important to the storytelling.

Mark Addy (Robert): “I think all of the scenes serve an important function, whether it’s showing you how a character is changing from being a girl to being a woman. Whether it’s showing you how a character is changing from being a submissive person to someone who is more prepared to kind of take control of her own destiny.”

Sophie Turner (Sansa): “I very much remember the first couple of seasons, people really loathed [Sansa]. They really hated her. They found her quite stuck up and a really frustrating character. Then they started feeling sorry for her, because it seemed like the next few seasons were her being beaten and bruised and raped and married – forced marriages – and all of these horrific things happened to her. “

“Slowly, people started to feel sympathy, but it took a while. A lot of people, for a while, were saying that she deserved it. It’s interesting because it really wouldn’t have made Sansa the Sansa she is today had she not gone through those things and had been subjected to so much torture and trauma. It made her the strong, passionate woman that she is. Now, she has a lot of followers, a lot of fans.”

Game of Thrones ended more than a year ago. The fantasy show turned into a phenomenon in the past decade. Fantasy lovers are still crazy about the series. The show was dubbed as the greatest TV show of the 21st century by Digital Spy readers. Fans are eagerly waiting for the prequel to the series – House of The Dragon. However, the final season of the show was very controversial. It divided the fanbase into two. The cast of the show had their own views, and they talked about them with Digital Spy.

Gemma Whelan (Yara): “I respect and like the fact that it came to an end as and when it did because things can’t go on forever and for me, a very good ending and a place where the showrunners always wanted to end the show.”

Sophie Turner (Sansa): “I was satisfied with how unpredictable the show’s ending really is. It really is so unpredictable the way that it ends up. I’m very satisfied with that.”

Isaac Hempstead-Wright (Bran): “When we got the scripts. I can remember, I was at university in Birmingham, I was reading the scripts in my student halls, and I had to double-lock the door, I was reading through them and then… I think it was episode six, I had to actually pace around the room a little bit, and go, ‘F**k!’.”
