Seems everyone thinks Game of Thrones should have ended differently than it did. That includes star Maisie Williams, who thinks her character should have had a different fate at the end of the series. Read on for details.

One person who was hoping Arya Stark could have punched Cersei Lannister‘s life clock was Arya, herself – Game of Thrones actress, Maisie Williams.
In an interview this week with Entertainment Weekly, the 22-year-old actress revealed that she, like many fans of the recently wrapped HBO saga, wishes Game of Thrones would’ve ended a little differently for her character.
“I just wanted to be on set with Lena [Headey] again, she’s good fun,” Williams said of the actress who played Cersei, the conniving queen whom Arya has had it out for since season 1 of the series.
“And I wanted Arya to kill Cersei even if it means [Arya] dies too,” she added. “Even up to the point when Cersei’s with Jaime I thought [while reading the script], ‘He’s going to whip off his face [and reveal its Arya]’ and they’re both going to die. I thought that’s what Arya’s drive has been.”
Instead, the penultimate episode of the series — titled “The Bells” — saw estranged lovers, Cersei and her twin brother, Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), reunite in an emotional, poignant scene before being crushed by debris from a crumbling Red Keep.
