1. Maisie Williams rewatches 'Game of Thrones,' admits it 'fell off at the end'

A girl has some notes. During a recent Twitch stream with her brother, Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams revealed she recently rewatched the entire series, which led her to the conclusion that, yeah, the ending wasn't very good. "It definitely fell off at the end," the Arya Stark actress admitted. "But it started really strong." Williams didn't go into why she thinks the ending fell short, though she previously noted her own boyfriend didn't understand why her character killed the Night King instead of Jon Snow. "I immediately thought that everybody would hate it," she told Entertainment Weekly in 2019. But Thrones wasn't the only franchise to catch heat from Williams, who also recently dubbed Spider-Man: No Way Home the most disappointing film of last year. "It just missed a little bit of the soul," she said on the Frank Film Club podcast. Watch out, Kevin Feige: You're officially on Arya's list.
