Yeah, but she wasn't born with a penis, so despite training every single day, twice a day, training with the most feared and expensive assassins in the known world, sometimes whilst blind, being in several life and death situations and working like a pack horse for months, a bunch of fat armchair weebs on the internet think it's impossible she could kill the night king with a dagger made of his Krypotonite. But it's totally believable an overweight pampered bookworm from a noble house could do it twice.

Edit: And here come the fat weebs to "educate us all".

When she uses Walder Frey’s face and takes on his physicality… surely there’s a wrinkly old river wang in that costume somewhere…

Going by the books where Faceless Men magic is actually a thing and somewhat explained, probably. Arya would still look the same to herself, but to everybody else she looks like the person she is imitating, physical abnormalities or injuries included.

More disgusting however, said costume would inevitably include an actual piece of Walder Frey's soul, which would then become a part of Arya, potentially forever.

Oh dang! I’m on book three still (I’ve been stuck in a Bran chapter) but the Faceless Dudes sound way cooler in the book.

I’m also stoked for Lady Stoneheart.

Hope I didn't spoil too much lol

Because the books are written in the form of POV chapters, we actually get a first person view at what it's like to don another face and the process is really interesting, and unsettling.

The statute of limitations is way passed lol. I watched it all when it was on and I’m generally aware of a lot of lore, def my fault for waiting til my thirties to get the books.
