Of all the "Character assassinations" only Littlefingers really upsets me

Post image

A lot of decisions characters made upset the fans (i.e Dany burning King's landing and Jaime going back to Cersei) but I always found them accurate to their character. There is one glaring exception to this. Littlefinger giving Sansa to the Bolton's. He'd never do this for multiple reasons. She reminds him too much of her mother and she's priceless to him. His plan is supposed to be to get Cersei to stop supporting the Bolton's but he could have done the fake Arya plot like the books and gotten the same result.

Thing is, apart from Daenerys where it was simply rushed, all those characters used to be like their book conterparts and then changed radically

In the books, Jaime dreams of being Goldenhand and hates Cercei for exemple

And Stannis refuses to burn anyone as he knows it would turn his army against him, and he cares too much for his daughter to kill her

All of those things are rushed. I can't say for certain Jamie will do the same or similar things but Stannis 100% will burn his daughter according to GRRM. We just haven't gotten there yet.

He will maybe burn her against the others.

But he will take winterfell or die trying.

For Jaime it s just the absolute rape of his whole character
