Game of Thrones Season 8 wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea. The season finale divided the fan base into two. One was satisfied with the ending, the other demanded a season remake. Some blamed the absence of George R. R. Martin’s next installment of books. While some blamed the showrunners’ piqued interest to launch a Star Wars feature film trilogy with Disney’s Lucasfilm. There were stars who hated it, and those who defended it, and there were some others who were barely affected by it. As a result, a lot of the show’s cast members prefer to be tight-lipped about the controversial finale, and those who do talk about it are very careful with their words.
In a recent interview with Variety, Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) appeared to be choosing her words quite cautiously while answering her questions related to Game of Thrones. On being asked why she’s doing so, she replied, “I don’t want to defend the show for that reason. I don’t really — I don’t really mind that it ended that way. We were so disconnected from — I felt like my life and how it changed was so disconnected from the actual storyline of the show.”
“It just was getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger, and you couldn’t go to more places and you couldn’t, you know, sleep on an airplane or whatever. And then it ended, and it was (exhales) — we can breathe. And when everyone was like, “But we hate the ending!”
“It was just kind of like, “Well, it’s nice for it to be done and to actually find some kind of normal life.” I feel like I would have felt like that even if it had an amazing ending, you know?”
