The real reason GoT got worse is because they got rid of those morally questionable badasses. The plot/cliches might have been as bad in the beginning, I don't really remember, but it wasn't as noticeable when there were tons of great characters. Whom they've steadily been castrating (literally and figuratively) or killing off each season until season 4-5 had almost none left, and their screentime was reduced to almost nothing.

I liked the Jaime scenes in the last episode, I think he is one of the few interesting characters left and despite him becoming more boring, I still have hope that he'll be a selfish badass again. Finally out of the whiny father/lover mode and back to war. Also, Bronn is always fun. The return of Sandor is even better, though I do not really see him doing much more than dying in a violent, but unimportant blaze of glory. Make Game of Thrones great again, bring back the morally questionable badasses.

Yeah I'm not entirely sure why they decided to drag out the Cersei/Jaime romance when in the books he turns his back on her entirely. It made Jaime a lot more interesting in the books. Oddly there seems to be some weirdo's out there who support it despite ya know...incest.

That bath scene with him and Brienne is one of the best character scenes in GoT. But since then he's just been a bit bland.

Agreed, everyone on GoT nowadays is entirely black or white, no longer gray.

Saw that theory as well... my question is that while we know he can obviously change faces, can he also shrink himself? I'm don't recall if we've ever seen a faceless man shrink or grow in size before, since as their name implies, they change faces, not bodies.

Don't they have to have her face also? Like how they take dead people's faces off to wear them.

Well when her mentor drank the poison and she ran over to him and grabbed at his face, it kept changing and eventually she saw her own right before she went blind... so, yes?

maybe; the worst part for me though is the script doesn't work logic wise anymore. there are to many stupid scenes lately nobody really believes or things without any explanation. i wonder if the screenplay for this series is written by the same person or if its forcefully adjusted/simplified to appeal to the ever growing mentally retarded part of the population?

So if his face was Aryas then it would seem he can change size too as he is bigger than her, unless it was a tall her he changed too ;p

    Regarding Arya, I've seen other theories around that say the Waif is actually Arya herself, in a twisted Fight Club dissociation process, part of a process that would make her finally cut ties with her former self and finally becoming "no one", a faceless man.
This would explain somehow why would a blind girl get beaten in the middle of the day with a wooden stick and no one would give a fuck. Also there's a glimpse of a girl in the last episode, dressed exactly as she was during the play day, which is confusing a lot of people.

I kinda like this theory better, personally.

Faceless Men. Elite of the elite. Killers of kings. Slayers of emperors. To hire them is to lose a fortune.

They're so good, that a fully trained Faceless (Wo)Man is unable to kill a young girl in three strikes with the element of surprise on her side.

Well, considering your previous points that womyn are invincible in this storyline, doesn't this contradict everything you've been saying? However yeah, it's fucking retarded that she got stabbed three times in the chest and magically not only survives, but continues walking after falling off of a fucking bridge into water.

Waif isn't a fully trained faceless man afaik. She just jelly of Arya making faster progress than her. She clearly isn't "no one" yet either because she clearly has a desire to kill Arya for her selfish reasons.
