I think Petyr Baelish is still overlooked for his impact on the series
Let’s be honest, without Littlefinger, Game of Thrones as we know it wouldn’t even exist. He kickstarted the entire mess. He set the Starks and Lannisters on a collision course, framed Tyrion, pushed Lysa Arryn to kill Jon Arryn, fueled the War of the Five Kings, betrayed Ned Stark, manipulated Sansa, and helped the Boltons take Winterfell, all while playing everyone from behind the scenes.
He was no player, he created the game. And yet, somehow, people rarely talk about him in the same breath as Varys, Tywin, or Cersei. Why? Because he didn’t have an army? Because he died before the final season?
Say what you will about his ending, but Petyr Baelish was chaos incarnate, and that chaos shaped Westeros more than almost anyone else. He deserves more credit.
Anyone else feel like he’s way too underrated?
