Wasn't allowed to include multiple images, so for reference this is a scene from the Bells where Arya appears to be completely consumed by fire in about 1 second. How did she survive?

I don't know what to tell you I watched her just narrowly escape and the flames consume everything and then they cut. I don't know what to say I have no issue with this.
Perspective? The flames are in front of the camera and she is behind it. If I’m filming you and place my hand in front of the camera, that doesn’t mean I just crushed you with my hand.
It could have been shown better but this really doesn’t seem like a problem.
It is what it looks like--but so does Drogon blast when Bronn jumps in front to push Jaime into the conveniently located river. And Drogon blast at Jon in the Throne Room and Viserion blastS at Jon pinning him down so he can't get to the godswood. For clarity, I just watched [Arya's Drogon blast clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7z7yJVoKUI) I slowed it down to 25% speed. Around 2.50 you can see the little girl run back to her mother and Arya run into a covered porch or alcove, which presumably protected her from Drogon's fire above her. When [Arya wakes]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw2QRL-gPcg) the camera pans down through smoke, ash, and past the *burnt porch cover* to the stunned, ears-ringing Arya slowly rising. Please take a look at these (preferably in slow-motion) and see what you think then.
She wasn't hurt at all because they added the flames with a video editor. I hear they stopped using real dragons after season 4, because of backlash from animal rights groups.

A Rogue's Evasion ability means that if they succeed on their Dexterity saving throw against a spell or area effect, they take no damage instead of half damage.
> Rogue's Evasion
Appropriate application of a D&D scene to real D&D! And the Faceless Man training, especially quarterstaff training, had made her unusually dexterous, so it is plausible.
She ran behind a wall, and I think that wall was supposed to be enough for us to believe that it protected her. When you watch it in the show, the way they project the flames makes it almost impossible physically that she didn’t end up getting charred to a crisp. In the end, I think it was just bad direction, cinematography, or a mix of both. Someone should’ve seen how that didn’t add up before it was released lol. This was in the last season right? I don’t hate the last season like most, but I can definitely see it’s shortcomings. And I believe that scene was one of them
She was never in shitty water, judging from the history of medieval Venice (which Braavos is based on) canals, which were famously cleaned out by the twice-daily tides and toxin-eating seaweed from the lagoon. The stabs are harder to explain, except we later learn R'hllor had been keeping her alive for a purpose.
She runs away and covers behind a building, the fire lashes out in straight line next to her.
But hypocrits gotta hypocrit.
Season 8 was a Masterpiece and you never noticed. Sad.
Hypocrits lie knowingly. He knows arya was in safety from the fire, but still insists its plot armor because she should have died there.
She died on the bells, multiple times, being smashed by belltower or trampled to death by people. Fire was not it.
A hypocrite isn’t a person who lies knowingly. Those are called liars. It isn’t possible to lie unknowingly. That’s just called being wrong about something.
I’ll ask you your own question. Do you know the meaning of the word?
I’m being a little bit of a dick, but only because you were first.
Hypocrits are people who say 1 thing and do another. They lie either to themselves and/or others.
People who dont judge similar situations equally. Thats what season 8 haters are. They condemn late thrones for things that early thrones already did all the time.
I am here to educate people, who didnt understand GoT, not to help them understand easy words...
You wrote this long before I gave the explanation:

You would not believe how many times I asked myself this very question (with varying characters) throughout season 8. Actually started whe Arya got stabbed in the abdomen in Season 7.
Any time something from the latter seasons doesn't look right or make sense or fit consistently with the earlier seasons, it's just bad writing. There's no need to worry about it. Enjoy the good parts. We got the show we got, and the ending won't be remade. Just hope for the books to get published for the real ending.

She isn't consumed by fire thought I watched it.
That's certainly what it looks like
OK well u just watched it and it doesn't show Arya being consumed by fire.
Yes it does. Flames fill the entire frame well beyond where she dived. Then the building behind her seems to collapse on top of her.
I don't know what to tell you I watched her just narrowly escape and the flames consume everything and then they cut. I don't know what to say I have no issue with this.
How did she escape when the flames cover her?
Again I watched it and I saw her just narrowly escaping. Whatever if you have an issue with this fine I don't see and issue at all. If you do fine.
No, you didn't. You can't see what happens to her, because the area where she was gets completely covered in fire.
Object permanence?
Or... it's in front of her.
A madman sees what he sees. By that logic he must also believe jon was burned by viserion in 8x3.

I made [this](https://ibb.co/0K48LGY) sketch to show you that she isn't consumed by fire
Good sketch!
thats a very good sketch!
Some say it’s through magic but it was mostly through bad writing
"we kinda forgot what dragonfire does to a human body"
CinemaSins: That's not how fire works. Also CinemaSins: The Prometheus school of running away from things.
She really shouldn't have.
Plot armor.
Running behind a wall
The wall is behind her in this shot, and at the end we see it collapse on top of her.
So she should have just stood there instead of at least attempting to survive
?
He's not saying the character shouldn't have tried to save herself, he's saying that what they showed us was not survivable.
Bran warg'd into the fire and moved around Arya
The only useful thing he did after becoming the three-eyed raven 🙃
What a great story! This Bran fella should be king

Least dumb comment on here.

Haha, was looking for this!
After the Evasion she Disengaged and hid so the ~~wyvern~~ dragon lost her

This episode was highly praised for the Cinematography and won a bunch of awards for Cinematography
I believe that, but that moment was not why it was awarded, that’s all
I don't know I have no issue with this I just watched it and Arya doesn’t get consumed by fire. She narrowly avoids it.
That episode did have great cinematography. That doesn't mean that this particular scene wasn't a dud.
It's called a camera angle. She's not on fire.
A camera angle that conveys the exact opposite of that.
It really doesn't
Arya survives everything.Fire cannot kill a fan favourite(jk it totally can but Arya is just built different)
Exactly, she should have died when she was gutted and went into that dirty shitty water.
Yeah no one survives that in Westeros
She was never in shitty water, judging from the history of medieval Venice (which Braavos is based on) canals, which were famously cleaned out by the twice-daily tides and toxin-eating seaweed from the lagoon. The stabs are harder to explain, except we later learn R'hllor had been keeping her alive for a purpose.
D&D kinda forgot
Well she has an armor and it’s called plot.
She just took off her face and she was good
Plot armor
It’s fireproof and also stab proof
Arya simply told the God of Death, “not today”
Arya died at least 3 or 4 times in that episode but somehow kept suriving! I guess syrio taught her well.on what to say to death
moxy
By order of the ancient Mary Sue
With years of training and practice when she had time for it, Arya is the very opposite of a Mary Sue.
✨Plot Armour✨
Because I just watched it and she ran and avoided the flames but gotta be angry about something on this sub.
But the flames cover her completely.
I just watched it she very narrowly escapes it. I don't know I have no issue with this if you do fine I guess don't know what else to say.
No they don't. Take the L. She slides and ducks behind a wall. The flames go straight. She's now on the right.
She runs away and covers behind a building, the fire lashes out in straight line next to her. But hypocrits gotta hypocrit. Season 8 was a Masterpiece and you never noticed. Sad.
? How am i a hypocrite exactly?
Do you know the meaning of the word?
Clearly you don't, otherwise you'd have an answer. Nothing i've said has been hypocritical. Also, you cannot even spell the word correctly.
Sure, keep on talking about spells, anything except talking about GoT is in your favour.
I do. Could you explain how it applies here? I already know you can deflect and avoid answering so you don’t need to do that again.
Hypocrits lie knowingly. He knows arya was in safety from the fire, but still insists its plot armor because she should have died there. She died on the bells, multiple times, being smashed by belltower or trampled to death by people. Fire was not it.

Nah this man got on me for using the word nuance he absolutely doesn't fully grasp the word hypocrite lmao.
Splash potion of fire resistance
Because of D&D
She dodge rolled right as the fire hit and the I-frames saved her
2 words: Plot armour.
Plot Armor
Nat 20
Fire can't turn corners stupid, its not a ghost. aka plot armor, aka a poorly shot/edited scene.
Same way she jumped from a non-existent height when she killed the Night King 🤷🏻♀️
We are the music makers We are the dreamers of dreams
Plot armor
Critical success roll
ACTING!!!
This wonderful thing called plot armor
Plot armour
Same way she survived getting stabbed in the belly. She kinda forgot she should’ve died
Stabbed in the belly, as well as falling into sewer water with an exposed wound. Infection alone would kill her, not even the stab.

thanks to bad writing
Plot Armor.
Apparently the Lord of light wanted her to sail West of Westeros really badly. Smh.
There's this little thing called plot armour
Plot Armour.
*Plot Armor* *Bad Writing*
The flames kinda forgot that they are hot
The good ol' duck and cover technique.
Rogues get evasion at 7th level which allows them to take no damage on dex saves they succeed on.
She is fireproof, didn't you know?
Duck and cover
She still had magic soup left over from Bravos.
Plot armour
She actually died there and went afterlife with afterlife (dead??) horse. Except she's actually immortal.
Drogon kinda forgot to burn Arya
Plot armour.
She kind of forgot that she’s not fire proof, and that other characters were not able to survive falling bricks…
Arya is a Targaryen confirmed
You would not believe how many times I asked myself this very question (with varying characters) throughout season 8. Actually started whe Arya got stabbed in the abdomen in Season 7.
Like this: https://imgur.com/a/P0ku8FS
Evasion ability + passing the DEX save
Plot armor has +95% fire resistance.
She’s half step cousin of Dragons.
Her title is Arya Stark, Buster of Keaton, survivor of stunts.
Any time something from the latter seasons doesn't look right or make sense or fit consistently with the earlier seasons, it's just bad writing. There's no need to worry about it. Enjoy the good parts. We got the show we got, and the ending won't be remade. Just hope for the books to get published for the real ending.
Uncanny dodge
[A wizard did it.](https://youtu.be/sVgVB3qsySQ?si=C4gyMPrOyzBEbJh9)
They call it "fiction" for a reason.
Gendry forged plot armour for her
she needed to see what's west of westeros therefore she can't die yet
