GameofThrones mishandles ‘Little Bird’ Sansa and Missandei, sparking backlash
Dissatisfaction with the latest episode of Game of Thrones Season 8, “The Last of the Starks,” is widespread, and it’s not just because Rhaegal was killed by Euron Greyjoy’s stealth navy, exposing the tactical worthlessness of Daenerys’ dragons. The episode has also rekindled discussion of how Game of Thrones has handled women and minority characters, with celebrities like Jessica Chastain and director Ava DuVernay weighing in with their takes on the backlash.
“Without Littlefinger and Ramsay and the rest, I would have stayed a Little Bird all my life,” Sansa replies and walks off. Meant as a rejoinder to the Hound, the moment instead depicts Sansa crediting her tormentors with her maturation, a formulation many found odious, including Chastain, who tweeted, “Rape is not a tool to make a character stronger.”
The same can’t be said for Game of Thrones, which has mostly reserved minority roles for “exotic” extras and faceless hordes, like the Dothraki and Unsullied armies fed to the Night King earlier in the season.
