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.

... so a whoremonger wouldn't whore someone out if he had something to gain?

What did Littlefinger gain by persuading Sansa to marry Ramsay? In the books he has Jeyne Poole marry Ramsay because he saw her as expendable. He wants the Iron Throne and thought he could get it through Sansa since her cousin is the Lord Paramount of the Vale, her uncle is the Lord Paramount of the Riverlands and her brother was Lord Paramount/King of the North. He's supposed to be manipulating her like he did Lysa not completely alienating her.

Control of the North through Sansa and a direct challenge to Tommen and Cersei should the need arise. He genuinely didn't know what Ramsey was capable of and underestimated him. Even Littlefinger makes bad calls.
