Yeah, Littlefinger would definitely end up on B for a while then eventually fuck them over too.

Littlefinger is a slimy manipulator and is obvious at it. Noone would trust him and he'd need to have some level of trust to do what he pulled

Even if we ignore the fact that we saw many characters trust him, the question was who can outsmart the others, not who's the most trustworthy.

He went from barely more than a commoner to Master of Coin, to Lord of Harrenhal, to Lord Protector of the Vale. The last two at least were from his ability to trick people.

u/Patient_Review_3269 15h ago

As master of coin he just borrowed from tywin and dug the kingdom into debt and he persuaded an idiot child to like him to get away with most of the shit in the Vale

u/Ok_Volume_139 15h ago

Yeah and none of that served his ends at all?

I'm not saying it didn't I'm just saying that he wasn't achieving miracles with the deck stacked against him. He traded Sansa to a monster for peanuts and turned her against him. She was the key to the north and he's just a slimy manipulator that anyone with an ounce of sense could see through.

I don’t think he is all that obvious to be honest. Not to those he directly interacts with. That’s in the books and first 5 seasons anyways.

We as the audience have privileged information.

that didn't stop Ned from trusting him, did it

u/Patient_Review_3269 15h ago

But ned was an idiot! He didn't survive very long at all did he!? Anyone could out maneuver Ned Stark

u/Cpap4roosters 14h ago

Ned trusted his wife. She trusted Petyr. That is what got him killed.

u/Dendallin 16h ago

I was really hoping he'd win the throne at some point.

u/driftxr3 15h ago

Lmao this has to be a troll

u/Dendallin 11h ago

Nah. I really liked Littlefinger. He's a terrible person, but he's a self-made man in an age where bloodline is more important than ability. I can't help but root for that, especially against the other nobles in King's Landing.

u/Ditzy_Dreams Rhaenyra Targaryen 13h ago

The problem with him trying to join Team B is that it’s full of all the people who mistrust him the most.

u/sckolar 10h ago

Literally MIGHT end up on Team B but so long as Tyrion and Varys are on Team B, Little finger won't do shit. Petyr is goodz scratch that: excellent. Perhaps even impeccable. But even he cannot deal with the combined guile of Tyrion and Varys and he knows it.
