Game of Thrones - Season 8

[CRA]

Littlefinger being alive would be horrific storytelling IMO.    No matter the explanation, nothing actually fits.   Not w/ how they told the story IMO.

His death was bad storytelling and writing what are you talking about

It's worth noting that LF's past family/ancestors are from Braavos.

Yep. Definitely established in the story for him to know about and have access to them. Would make more sense then him getting completely outplayed by the stark kids

maybe so.

but then doing what some are suggesting just compounds the problem and makes it that much worse.

No it doesn’t. It adds a lot more intriguing and back handed crazy moves that GOT used to pull and completely in line with LF’s character. Him easily getting played by the stark kids is not in line with his character.

meh.  just a made up magic dumpster to bring him back. 

doesn't work IMO with the storytelling.  They showed too much of Littlefinger comprehending past events in the moment of his death for it to of been someone else.   Faceless men don't become all knowing.   Plus the fact it ignores IMO so many of the rules they established.  And you can't dismiss all those because the TV show had one scene where people question how things work IMO. 

The back and forth of his past crimes IMO confirmed too much in the storytelling that it was LF, plus the fact when he died he wasn't just some random dude w/ a mask, plus the fact the rules overall still establish the Faceless men operate w/ the faces of the dead.    

GOT fugged up in one scene.  Simple as that IMO.  So we I just chalk Arya seeing her face as some mindtrick fug up.

This is a bad post. 

1) it isn’t a magic dumpster. 

2) you can’t try to cite “established rules” while ignoring others that actually support it.

3) you are 100% wrong that faceless men only used dead faces. Arya saw her own.

4) we never saw his body after his death. We have no clue if it was just “some random dude in a mask” 

5) there are actual scenes in the show to support the theory. 

 

You are completely ignoring that faceless men play the game of faces. Which is them lying so well that people believe it’s the truth. That’s not something made up that’s in universe rules. 

 

If you dont like a theory just say that. But don’t make some stuff up as reasons why you don’t.

Martin literally explained the rules in his words when asked.  Obviously, the show is the show, but they pretty much alluded to the same rules as well.  So again, I think the rules are fairly well established and I don't think one scene smashes all that.   So like I said, I characterize that as a show poorly handling one scene and chalk that up to a hallucination type thing rather than it breaking the rules the Martin clearly spelled out and the show reasonably spelling out. 

None of that is made up.

and yeah, it would be using the Faceless men IMO as a magic dumpster to just makeshift a gotcha moment/twist.   I mean they definitely could of told  story where there was a big surprise with them...but wanting the LF death to be that IMO just doesn't work well.

Where are you getting this and why are you using your opinion to try to discredit a theory?

i don’t get it.
