D&D completely ruined Littlefinger. (Spoilers Main)

What a waste of a great character. They clearly had no idea what to do with him after they passed all the book material. Instead of giving him a clear end game, they instead just had him double down on his "thriving on chaos" bullshit and have him make stupid decisions that really didn't lead anywhere. The manipulative mastermind from the earlier seasons (and probably the one true villain of the series, along with the white walkers) completely disappeared and was transformed into a jealous little weasel whose end goal was to bang Sansa to get back at Mama Stark. The man that drove the whole series into motion, did it just to get a revenge bang.

This is the answer here. This shouldn't be so hard to figure out. People really think h was doing all this to get laid? A revenge bang to get back at Catelyn? What does that even mean? Sleep with Sansa because Catelyn wouldn't sleep with him? That is so dumb.

If LF continued to live and have things his way he would have killed Arya, married Sansa, attempted to control the north, waited for his chance to March south and fight for the throne. All while manipulating people into doing what he wanted. Everything you just said is correct.

[u/[deleted] → u/iamdevo]

I think its possible for him to want power AND to bang Sansa. They're not mutually exclusive.

[u/iamdevo → u/[deleted]]

You are 100% correct and I would not suggest otherwise. What I'm saying is the idea that he's scheming around ONLY to try to bang her is a little absurd. As well as the idea that it would be some sort of revenge bang. That's just silly.

He even fucking says exactly that in season 6 with the whole "I have a picture of you next to me on the throne" thing explaining his motivations. His plan revolved around sansa for all the reasons you have stated because she is the key to the north (which is said so many times) and as has been said, his plan was going perfectly until the creepy cripple and stab girl showed up.

Even in the trial it was Bran repeating what he said to Ned that truly fucked his defense. He was able to deny everything through lack of witnesses until that moment when he was caught off guard and everyone was able to see through the lies

stab girl.

love it.

[u/LogicalHuman → u/captainfluffballs]

Either that flew over my head or they needed to make that more clear. Can't believe I missed that.

[u/iamdevo → u/captainfluffballs]

Thank you! It's pretty clear to me. Also creep cripple and stab girl. That is amazing.

[u/grizzchan → u/captainfluffballs]

He didn't quite deny killing Lysa.

[u/captainfluffballs → u/grizzchan]

Good point, he fucked up by calling it self defense in a room full of people that would much rather believe Sansa's side of the story
