Why is everyone saying Arya's story was pointless? She got assasin's training. She's not tethered to the Many Faced God and is heading back with her list intact. She may not be able to face swap, but she is skilled enough to defeat a MFG assasin. That puts her in the top tier of warriors. Also, she's been sequestered for all of the Westerosi plot developments. She won't see Any Lannisters as anything but evil. She'll just go to town killing them. And with her training, really only the Mountain could take her.

Her 'training' can be summarized in a couple of martial arts lessons at best. If she really is this uber deadly assassin then the show runners didn't do a very good job of exemplifying it. The faceless men arc was hyped up to be this major character transformation for Arya but she never really gained anything from the experience sans being (temporarily?) blinded and stabbed by the Waif who clearly has some sort of hate boner for her even though Faceless Men aren't supposed to display emotion.

There was so many possibilities they could've ran with. Hell, I heard a theory couple weeks back that the Waif is some sort of Tyler Durden split personality character of Arya. Literally anything to show some semblance of character transgression would've sufficed but instead what we got was two seasons of filler to beat us over the head at how stronk and fierce she is, an irritating trend I'm seeing in the female characters of the show.
