Some user pointed out in a GoT thread that Sansa is a great exemple of how much easier it is to make the audience think a character is smart by having others characters saying that all the time or making other arrout them act unusually dumb than actualy showing said character acting smart. There are more exemples of Sansa getting praised than of her doing things worth of praise.

And the "smart" things she did happened because of her power to make people arround her drop 30 IQ points, like luring CIA into the most obvious trap in history, or teaching a northen blacksmith with a lifetime of experience that metal is cold.

Danny is the same type of character. Nearly everyone completely forgets the game, their own agendas, and become supine exposition-dispensers in her orbit. Tyrion got it the worst, not surprisingly foreshadowed by another "strong female" Olenna Tyrell (although that one was significantly more plausible as a foil). The only exception is when a hearthrob is supposed to seduce her, then he instantly becomes smarter and more competent than she is, because that actually turns women on. If the show were full of realistic men putting her in her place constantly, women would honestly be confused and frustrated by the show. They would not enjoy watching it because it would just remind them of how the world actually is, instead of being the power fantasy that they think they're entitled to because they "the boys get to have THEIR power fantasies".

Smart enough not to trust Cersei. Seems obvious. I guess that makes Tyrion grade A retarded.

>be dumb teenage girl that go with whatever other characters say throughout SIX fucking SEASONS

nothing out of the ordinary here

I think most of what she has learned is about politics and human nature. But that mostly makes her not trustworthy of anyone after seeing the shitshow at Kings Landing. Other than that I don't think she's learned much.
Juan Powell
She studied under Littledick for all those years, one of the best players in the game, who only got caught because Bran is a bullshit sightseer.
Which also makes her 'smarter' since she has her own crystal ball on wheels.
Adrian Bailey
Given the state of this board, you'd be doing everyone a favor.
Alexander Smith
Honestly, even tho the show isn't portaying her as smart, I don't find her annoying with how she acts now. I mean, could you blame her?
>sees her own father get decapitated
>physically and mentally abused by some inbred faggot and his bitter mother
>lied to by Baelish
>raped by psycho faggot Ramsay
At least she has legitimate reasons to be snarky, dismissive etc, given her previous shitty life experience. Daenerys on the other hand has been literally "winning" ever since season 1. Everything went her way with literally 0 effort. Biggest examples of this is how she got the Unsullied or how a couple of her underlings BTFOed a whole city.
