90% of Arya's scenes are iconic. For Sansa: you're going to die tomorrow, Lord Bolton. Sleep well.

[@aquilaorion3531]

i’d say my favorite all-time iconic arya moment is when she killed the freys though. that speech she gave as walder as they all choked to death around her was just fantastic.

[@agostonbarany9668]

freeder i would say sansas #1 scene was actually killing the fucker

[@LS-ss5uv]

My fav arya scene was the „Maybe ill pick my teeth with it“ ( when she killed the guy who killed her friend and stole her „sword“)

[@AhmedMahmoud-mx1xp]

@@aquilaorion3531 yeah but this is more of a walder frey moment, i mean credit goes to the guy who played his role not maisie

[@nicoled1787]

LOL hats of to Maisie for not spoiling her truly most iconic scene.

[@evie3148]

I think Arya's iconic scene was when she got justice and killed the freys. Sansa's iconic moment was when she saved John in the battle of the bastards and brought the army. Both such huge payoff moments in the show.

[@rpruffryder]

For me it was when she told jaqen she is arya and she's going home. Sansa when she played littlefinger and used his game against him. Imo

[@ninaadderly2605]

I agree I think 🤔 I watched that scene with Arya and the Frey’s just about 100 times. When she calmly says “When people ask you what happened here” Tell them the North remembers” “Tell them Winter came for house Frey” And for Sansa it was the scene when she saved Jon in Battle of the bastards. Her sitting on the house with that treacherous smile on her face. Just looking at Ramsey Bolton saying you lose was priceless.

[@snsl28500]

yees when Sansa showed up at the battle!

[@garym6338]

Khalil Razzaque i dont think that was Arya. The person who said “A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell, and I am going home” was “No One”, accepting their mission to play Arya. I think Arya killing the Waif completed her mission to become Noone, so when Jaqen said “finally a girl is Noone” he was telling the truth. Exactly what the purpose and intentions behind her training with the Faceless Men and what Jaqen or the many faced God wants Arya to do as Noone is yet to be revealed.

[@killmydreamdorothy8800]

[@davidsinnott1894]

My iconic Sansa scene will always be “or maybe he’ll give me yours.”

[@nesisiolaa]

Ultimately one of my favorite scenes!!!

[@Ignited28]

i was surprised she didn’t choose that scene

[@peppa_jack]

Arya has the most iconic scenes! But my two favorites are "A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell, and I'm going home" mic drop. Or when she kills all of the Frey men. So epic! Oh and the scene where she's debating on whether or not to toss needle. That scene always gets me teary eyed. Probably not the most iconic though.

[@sambottomley4755]

I can think of a better one...

[@jungoogie]

Arya's iconic moment, you know what it is.

[@oliverconnolly1963]

[@oglukzkashan]

It will be great if she maintains blind until she finally killed the Night King

[@franz_gerena]

[@margaretarce4005]

Actor playing Euron has a lovely speaking voice. You don't notice in show cuz you are hating on him.

[@carlalopes8060]

Love his face!

[@pinkpolly88]

I hate him, but also find him incredibly sexy. I feel better knowing that the actor is sexy too, and not my warped brain playing tricks on me!

[@ayourmum8521]

He’s terrible in the show. Like actually awful. Dumb and dumbers fault not his though.

[@vistatrista7]

Sansa's most iconic scene was descending the steps of the Eyrie in that black dress. That is the single scene that always get shown when discussing Sansa

[@ianstiehl1994]

I think her scream over her father's death really set the tone of the season

[@mikewazzupski]

Ian Stiehl her death scene is gonna be the most pleasing one tho for sure

I loved that scene when Sansa says to Tyrion "I'm devoted to my beloved Jeoffrey my one true love" after he apologized for Jeoffrey'sbehavior (I think Meryn Trant just beat her in the throne room. That was the moment she began to learn the rules

[@pmiles363]

Arya's iconic moment... Literally every other time she came on screen

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

Arya: a girl is Arya Stark, ditching the hound, or killing the Freys Sansa: almost killing Joffrey, saving the battle of the bastards, or killing Ramsey

[@maspleben]

Yeah, Gilly sticking it to Randal Tarly! Loved it! I hope Gilly and Sam have some emotional scenes in the last season. But they need to live, we need light in all that depression and gloom that will certainly happen in that last season!

[@MARYWTHER]

Sam and Gilly surviving, Sam becoming the Lord of Hornhill and naming Sam Junior as his Heir...

[@99xplord]

@@MARYWTHER I don't know about that, Little Sam is kinda not related to him at all, and there's quite a high possibility of him growing up to be mad (being an incest child and all).

[@wfalls9453]

What season and episode is that please?

[@pauletah101]

Sam's iconic scene is him running from the army of dead. That was crazy

[@MattGarcyaDC]

Running or hiding on that rock?

[@kristinsreese]

@@MattGarcyaDC Agreed. There really wasn't much running for Sam anywhere in the series! Lol. I think one of his most iconic scenes was when he grew some balls sticking up for Gilly, then taking his fathers Valerian steel sword-Heartsbane (Which Sam should have inherited in the first place) and leaving....!

[@ChooseU4ever]

For me the most iconic scene for Ayra is when she is talking to Tywin about Rob Stark

[@TheSaiyanPrincess89]

*Arya *Robb

[@Jessica-ec3ic]

I forgot about that scene. I loved that! "They say he can turn into a wolf..". That scene gives me chills. Also at the end when Tywin asks if he can be killed. And she says anyone can be killed.

[@CrimsonCharan]

@@Jessica-ec3ic "Anyone can be killed" and oooohhh boy did see she deliver on that front this season.

[@mariahsmith2751]

I think for Arya it has to be when she said to Jaquen Hagar “A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell and I am going home” because she realizes that no matter what she a Stark and that she wants to be herself

[@Isydya]

yes totally !

[@keleighrees383]

Say what you will but I loved the moment with the hound when he finally gets to the Vayle and it turns out Arya's auntie died and Arya is there pissing herself.

[@neriumsuitedher]

I would say that is the moment she finally breaks. She cannot even cry anymore, so she just laughs.

[@anotheruser5506]

Bran : jumping off the tower Varys : conversation with Tyrion on the boat to meereen Arya : walder frey's death definitely no doubt Sansa : Ramsay's death, littlefinger's wa cool too Sam : killing the with Walker Gilly: naming the baby after sam Bronn : injuring Drogon Euron: attacking theon and yara

[@neuideas]

Iconic for Arya, I would go with her water dancing lessons with Syrio. There is only one god, and his name is death; and there is only one thing we say to death: not today! Alternately, I might go with her killing of Polliver, and her retrieving of Needle.

[@GewalfofWivia]

I think Arya’s going to have a new most iconic scene.

[@dianatorralbo7690]

Bran: When he tells Sam that Jon is Sand and not Snow, and then he goes to watch the wedding. Sansa: The smile after letting Ramsay be murdered by the dogs Arya: Killing Walder Frey Sam: Running from the White Walkers. Gilly: Discovering Lyana and Raeghar were married in a secret ceremony. Bron: Saving Tyrion in the trial by combat. Euron: Kidnapping Yara in the ship. Varys: His conversations with Tyrion.

[@cvetina1]

Jon's not Sand, he's Targaryen

[@chetanphoenix]

Most iconic for Bran- Being pushed out of tower Varys - Yes when he opens the crate to reveal the sorcerer. Sansa - When she brings the army of the vale to win BOTB Arya - When she extinguishes the candle with her sword Sam - Killing a whitewalker Gilly - When she finds out some septon annulled Ragger's marriage and married him to someone else Euron - when he jumps on Yara's ship by dropping a hull and standing on it. Bronn - When he shoots a scorpion bolt at the dragon.

[@nikai0713]

Sansa has had her iconic moments lately, but the most important to me is when she gives that look as if she's going to try and throw Joffrey off back in season 1, when he shows her the head of Ned. That was a turn in the character and that's when I started liking her. Also, Sophie does her SO well.

[@magicmajk2538]

dont now why but when i see maisie, always want to scream oysters clams and cockles and that makes this scene most iconic :)

Brans iconic scene is my reason to continue watching GOT .., 👌👌

Bran: the window Varys: the "laddah" scene with Littlefinger maybe Sansa: Death of LF Arya: training with Syrio Sam: first encounter with the white walkers Bronn: talking with Tyrion before the trial by combat in s4 Euron: killing the sand snakes Gilly: calling his baby after Sam drop mic

[@jacks1bonnielass]

Two I disagree with, Arya’s & Bronn’s, but I agree with the rest... I think one moment that will be burnt into my mind forever is Brienne vs Arya. The only moment in the show of hers that I literally was smiling so hard I nearly broke my face lol And Bronn’s? The trial by combat where he actually fought for Tyrion. That’s when I knew he was gonna be one of my favorites! If you *haven’t* seen Ripper Street and you enjoy Jerome Flynn, *GO* and binge it sometime. Plus, you’ll see many actors from GoT in it like Iain Glen, Ian McElhinney, Michael McElhatton, and Joseph Mawle. I must warn you though, it’s quite heartbreaking at times but I loved it so much!

Update: Arya killing the NK was ICONIC

No way. Sansa's most iconic moment was definitely "How long do I have to look?". As for Arya, I'm not sure... but it probably involves her saying "valar morghulis".

[@Jessica-ec3ic]

I liked when Joffrey says he'll bring her Robb's head and she says "Or maybe he'll bring me yours". That was the first time she really stood up to him.

[@Aziexxx]

Arya's most iconic scene is DEFINITELY what she did at the end of ep 3!!!

[@nikai0713]

I feel like Maisie and Sophie just love the LF scene so much bc they did it together. I mean is great but there's so much more For me most iconic Sansa was when she killed Ramsay "your name will dissapear, your house will dissapear, all memory of you will dissapear" what a line. Second comes LF "when I'm trying to understand a person's motives..." but I sense a lot more coming from season 8, she was savage to everyone on ep1, calling Tyrion dumb and acusing Jon of falling for Daenerys, lol. Also, hates Daenerys. And Arya has so many. When she killed Polliver and retrieved Needle. Then Walder Frey "The last thing you'll ever going to see, is a Stark smiling down at you, as you die" , then the whole House Frey "leave one wolf alive, and the sheep are never safe" (tho I guess Maisie didn't deliver that one). and there's more but this comment just got too long

[@ellieelizabeth2937]

Kudos to Conleth Hill! I tell my friends that I love Varys and they keep shooting these looks at me like how can you love the Spider, he's cunning and sneaky etc etc and that's when I know they don't really pay too much attention to the show. The world is so not black and white, there are no people like Ned Stark and if there are, they don't survive, just like in the show. And even if you're not the most likeable character, you can still do good things and live by something you believe in.
