GOT is one of the best series of all time with the worst ending, the ending was so terrible due to terrible writing. You should have seen the video of the of the cast reaction after they were told what will happen, they were so dissapointed
@@happilyevernever4289 Maybe there could be a sequel. We all knew that the show was not like the books. It already hinted that Aegon's conquest was actually glorified politically to prevent anarchy. But HOTD being more book accurate messed it up again.
The ending is way better if Bran is evil. He is basically the fantasy equivalent of a surveillance state. He is impossible to rebel or plot against and immortal.
Not sure if he is immortal, the one-eyed crow was immortal, but that was because he had let the tree grow into him and became part of the tree, I think. But yes if he is immortal that would be a game changer. But considering the whole theme of the show is that nobles fighting for power just hurt the small folk, then actually the people in the kingdoms other than the nobles or the criminals would think it was wonderful.There actually wouldn’t be any wars. No common people killed when the nobles play their “Game of Thrones”
It would kind of make sense for bran to be evil considering bloodraven is a way darker character in the book and bran himself is more fucked up. However the show didn't handle it well, they just made bran look useless.
It's all ironic considering Jon killed Dany because he feared she would restrict the freedom of others. Only to have Bran most likely doing exactly that.
The lack of writing for “Bran” & Bloodraven was their greatest failure. They still could’ve left it ambiguous, but needed more than a single line that at this point was just a slap in the face of viewers. Along with the final lines being Tyrion’s joke AGAIN without the punchline…a true analogy for what they gave us for storyline wrap up of Thrones!
I dare to say ignoring the books, the death of King Landing was the last good episode of the series, the ending just suck, and conting the books, seems is waaaay worse.
Turns out the Starks were the real villains all along. Lets not forget that Arya turns into Westeros version of Christopher Columbus. I wonder how her story, that of a brutal faceless assassin that likes feeding her enemies to each other is gonna treat some poor uncontacted tribe...
This. Everyone used to always quote ”if you think this has a happy ending, you haven’t been paying attention” but that’s exactly what we got. All of the “morally good” characters survived while the evil ones died and the family we were rooting for from the start won the throne.
@@Therealstonethegameryes but it’s way to spotted to say even that description fits. Only character of importance that died at the long night was Jorah
@@jasonsandoval3823 he can also perceive the present in a lot of super powerful ways. It’s interesting to compare bran to Paul atreides from dune. Among his many titles was “the one who could be at many places at once.” The idea is if Paul knew all of the past and present he could could comprehend prescience to the point he would have a total understanding. Bran doesn’t have prescience as far as I know (it seems more like messages from the 3 eye crow). But he does have the ability to know the past and watch all events in the present. I am honestly wondering if bran will get possessed, sort of speak, by all those personalities. This would be like how sixskins did but someone from the tree itself.
One season he says he can’t be anything not a heir not a knight or anything because becoming the 3 eye raven makes him above all that but all of sudden he wants be king.::
Bloodraven was his teacher dude. The common phrase is "when you don't know who to blame, blame Bloodraven". He wasn't just some old dude chilling in a tree, he was a skilled warrior and killed quite a few members of his family to keep power for his side. Bran went into the training thinking it would be altruistic but that quickly changed once he got more exposed to the evils. The show runners did a horrible job of showing us the Bloodraven stuff so it hurt Bran's story. They got enticed by the Star Wars money and wanted to get out of GOT as quickly as possible. George did confirm that Bran will end up as king. Just gotta see if he's able to make it convincing in the books or if he's just gonna let it die.
He says he can't be a Lord because he's no longer Bran Stark. The Three Eyed Raven (Bloodraven) always had plans to become King. When he merged his consciousness into Bran, he did it to extend his life and continue his plan to become King. Everything he did from that point on was to become King, not to become a Lord. That's why he says it, and it lines up with what happens in the story. It may be rushed, but it does make sense.
No, they could have Bran wake up from his coma and find this whole thing was just dreams in his coma. He could happily tell his parents, "There's no place like Winterfell!"
Fun fact: while the shows tries to tell you that the ending is happy, actually bran kingdom will fucking suck, he has no sense of empathy, and even then, the kingdom is still weakened by the war, the 6 kingdoms still have a massive debt the writers forgot about (and the one in charge of economy has no idea how debts works) which means aftet the story ended, westeros would quickly fall apart and be easily conquered by essos free cities (also btw, with daeneris dead the slavers in essos are free to return their old ways) This is a reference to the fact that Got writers have no memories
@@Huhhh4308 nope, she just had tyrion give them a lecture, besides that they still have all their power and authority, with daenerys dead pretty much nothing is actually stopping them from killing the brave sons (who are just a small army of only 500 men) and return their old way
Exactly! Plus we know that bran is capable of making people go mad. He broke Hodor's mind(accidentally in the show) who says he can't do the same on purpose?
Bran's last line to Jon would also make sense then: "You were exactly where you were supposed to be." The show could've honestly redeemed itself (at least a decent bit) by introducing Bran's twist, although it would've required strong foreshadowing from earlier episodes.
I've been saying this since I saw the ending. The ending still sucks for pages of reasons but it's the literal only logical thing that came out of the ending. He set up Dany to lose a dragon north of the wall by telling Jon he saw them even though they couldn't have possibly passed without a dragon. He never used his powers to help only to make his ascent as king. Everything he did after becoming the 3 eyed Raven was geared toward knocking off his competition. You can even say he killed meeras brother and lured Bran to his death just so the 3 eyed Raven would be reborn without being stuck inside a tree.
yeah fan theory is that he is actually the 3 eyed raven and he is controlling Bran. Think the movie Get Out, bran can see everything but 3 eyed raven is in the driver seat. Everything leading up to ravens death was put in motion by him to lead Bran to the cave so he could ultimately take over Brans body since he was apart of the tree he could never leave....without other means. another reason is raven is basically null of emotions and then after his death, Bran magically just becomes basically mute and none empathetic same character trait
I think King Bran is the Three Eyed Raven and Bran is trapped in the Three Eyed Raven's body north of the wall. Jon could find Bran and then they get the Wolfpack back together and go take out the Three Eyed Raven
@@lesliemcmillan2971 Agree. As even Meera (the closest companion) noticed: "You're not Bran anymore. Youe died in that cave". This is my huge problem abt the ending honestly, it's like even Bran himself told thousend tiems 'I'm not Bran' 'I'm not a lord' 'I can't be lord of anything' and yet, they made him king of the seven kingdoms ?! lmao, which means that it's the Three eye Raven who became a king...
@luminaratano3935 and if he's not Bran then why does he say "my father", "my aunt Lyanna" etc., when he told Sam about Jon's parents? The show runners were really in a hurry to be done with the show. I don't know why they couldn't have at least semi-handed it off to Miguel Sapochnik if D & D had their hands full? Also, wasn't Blood Raven/Three eyed Raven supposed to be a Targaryen? Then that means a Targaryen is back on the throne. Anyway, whether it's Jon/Aegon or Bran/Raven a Targaryen-Stark is on the throne.
Makes not much of a sense to teach Bran that strictly if he'd just take him over. I think the Three Eyed Raven is a symbiote like the Trilĺs in Star Trek just not a physical one but a spiritual one. He left his old host who was dying and became something new with Brandon. Therefore he is not Brandon anymore but Brandon is also not gone and therefore still part of the family.
@@neoxceptr5824thing is that there’s so much from the books that they left out of the show that it was pretty hard for them to get it all together right. Kinda wish that they had just waited another 5 or six years to let Martin finish the next book and then start filming
@5inisterftw Yes... Season 7 was bad as well... I mean... Sansa was holding on to the allies of the Vale in secret. Allowing Wildlings and northern men to die until reinforcements arrived. Just bad writing 🤷🏾♂️
That's not really Bram. It's Bloodraven. He took over Bran's body when his puppet Night King destroyed his old one. Which is why the NK just stood there as Arya delivered the killing blow. All part of the act.
Read a fic where the 3-Eyed-Raven is a super powerful Greenseer thats been luring other powerful Greenseers to him so he can take over their body and continue from there, like a psuedo immortality. Brynden Rivers, Aka Bloodraven, just being his most recent host body. Basically they took over Bran while teaching him how to warg, and whilst he was out of body in some animal they slipped into his skin. It'd explain the sudden shift in behavior and attitude. Though I havent read the books so it may be completely wrong.
i think the whole Hodor/Hold the door thing was so Bran would learn what happens when he tries to change things from being the way they were and the way theyre supposed to be. he may have known - but he also knew that the only true way the best ending comes is if he lets it ride.
I love how you imply ppl actually had any chance against the dragons. Also, Bran has such knowledge that he may also be well aware that this was the best course of action.
Without a Bran POV chapter, one that reveals his thoughts, this conjecture is a bit weak. First, the extent of his powers are unknown. So, what did he know? What could he know? Second, the show reveals Dany choosing to burn King's Landing. She had agency; it was her decision to burn King's Landing. It's only by attributing omniscience and super warging powers to Bran that this explanation makes sense. Finally, it us assumed Bran becoming King was a bad thing. Who, after all, would be capable of taking Westros and the world from a dream of spring to spring?
@@sdzielinski season 8 is a whole mess, we can't argue on that. It is a fact that most character actions weren't properly justify in their development. About Bran, although his power aren't explained, we can assume he has acquired such knowledge that he's a obvious choice for a king at this point. I won't lose our time in a long boring essay, but as someone who is currently rewatching the whole show for it's 10th time, knownledge is the centre of power in Westoros. The most influent people are those who could spy the best (Littlefinger, Varys, Cersei...). Bran litteraly has to power to spy in ppl past. Thus, Bran is able to blackmail who the fuck he want to maintain peace.
@@Cavedogman well, as bad as it was depicted in the show (imo), Dragom ain't EZ to kill. One dragom was enough to destroy Westeros capital. Yes the 2 others died, and I don't know how it goes in the book, but it felt more like some showrunners plot tool than actual feat
I mean you can recognize the role he took- hes essentially god. He sees all BUT he may not interfere. Even in the north when they were discussing who was to rule- he already knew what the people would choose , he just spoke because he can and its his family- but to him nothing is truly close. Hes a handsoff participant
In House of the Dragon, Vhagar kills one of Rhanera’s children and Aemond claims he did it on purpose. This is because he can’t have it seem like he doesn’t control his Dragon. What if something similar happened here. Daenerys flew to the red keep to kill Cercie, but Bran warged into Drogon and started to burn Kings Landing down. Dany, pretended this was her decision to hide the fact that she didn’t have control over her dragon. It’s possible that everything that happened before + watching her “child” burn innocents alive drove her mad in the final episode
Bran could see what happened in the past and what is happening in the present. He could not predict the future. He probably "came all this way" because he could see what Tyrion was reflecting on during his time as prisoners
If George makes Bran King in the books his novel will live in infamy because it's such a dumb decision. In my opinion Bran becoming Jon's master of whisperers for blood raven's genetic experiment of Valariyan & First Men blood that he's cultivated (Jon Snow) is a much better fit for his story ending. Having someone as open minded and noble as Jon who would ensure a new pact with the Others, oversee the planting of new weirwood trees in the south, and allow the children of the forest to repopulate would be ideal instead of seizing power.
The ending was actually for showed in season 4 when the slave owners tried to kill her people she wanted to get her dragon and burn down everything but her counselors talked her out of it but in season 8 she had lost all her friends/ counselors so there was no one there to talk her out of it as for John not wanting to be king a lot of people forget that before he was killed he wanted to be king but after being killed he wanted nothing to do with being king. That's why if u rewatch it. It's actually a really good end except for how short the big battle was with the ice walkers. As for the books that's kinda what happens when you don't finish writing the books before your tv show ketchs up with them and then goes pass the books so that now the books have to kinda follow the TV show and explain stuff better had the books been done we probably have a total different ending then what we got
If we ever get the Jon Snow series, they should make Bran into an antagonist. It wouldn't fix season eight, but it would be interesting and make the show's ending less bad, though not by much.
its actually a horrifying thought that Bran orchestrated the whole thing. Or, more tot he point, the Three Eyed Raven Orchestrated it. Imagibe; Theyve now placed a omniscient entity on the throne that can pass itself on to another. So, if they set up an elective kingdom, where the heir is chosen while the previous ruler still lives (to avoid any interregnum chaos), the three eyed raven can just transfer itself to the heir. So they now have an immortal king. On top of that, The TER (three eyed raven) can see all human history, as soon as it happens. So why would it care that it gave the North its freedom? Once the 6 Kingdoms is consolidated and powerful again, where any an all dissent will be KNOWN immediately, the TER can just march its armies to reclaim the north. How do you fight an army that knows all your battle plans the moment you make them? If you, or anyone discusses a weakness, the TER will know. It will be easy to crush the North and bring it back under the Iron Throne. This will be true for THE ENTIRE WORLD. the TEr is immortal, and cannot be deposed, so it has all the time in the world to conquer everythign, and anyone who rises up in opposition will be unable to form a strong rebellion, becaus ethe TEr will know what they plan at all times
I suggest you read "FutureWalker" a Korean novel. Int the story, FutureWalker can walk the future, but she either any person can't change the future walked. Because knowing it doesn't mean having the power to change the future.
She didn’t go mad. Breaking under emotional duress is not madness. God I hate that some “fans don’t understand this. Cersei killed tens of thousands as well and no one calls her mad. Other than that, I do believe that Brown had a hand in her snapping point I do believe that he should have could have stopped so many bad things from happening, but chose not to brand is the one who is mad who is crazy no one else
Cercei didn't twist it to convince herself that what she was doing was a good thing like Daenerys did. Cercei was evil. Daenerys was mad. You're comparing apples to oranges
@@azno3442no, actually, they are both human beings, with free will, and chose what they wanted to do with it. People grew to expect dany to be this princess of virtue and light. Remember one of her first epiphanies?? She aint trying to gain control of the wheel. She wants to BREAK IT. and then, after cersei the never-queen queen of incest decided to be cold stone stupid and execute missandei while dany just stood there, unable to do anything, WHAT DID MISSANDEI SAY?? ....DRACARYS!!! AND it was a wrap. Once jon snow spurned her, it was on. And yall telling me if ALL THAT HAPPENED, you wouldnt be super angry And make decisions you might regret later??? How many people died at the sept of baelor because of the greenfire cersei lit under it. JUST so she could escape justice. Dany NEVER WENT "MAD". SHE WENT "DRAGON". And NOBODY can blame her!!! Shes a Targaryen!!!
1. Bran should have control the mind have a white Walker's dragon. He should have throwing the white Walker off of it and taken control by sitting on it himself and flying it. That way he could have assisted. He could have done this with the voice of the three eyed dragon repeating in his head you will never walk again but you will fly. 2. Aria still could have defeated the king white walker but just needed a little back story. When she and The Hound were sharing big brother stories, she could have simply mentioned that her big brother Jon also shared his blood with her by poking both their fingers and sharing blood. This gave her courage all her life and whenever she is scared of anything she remembers she has the blood of her fearless brother in her veins. This way when she slays the king white walker it is the blood of the Prince that was promised inside her that does it. 3. Gendry should have been named king. Bran reveals someone with true kings blood is in the dungeons they realize Gendry was arrested for not being able to prove where he got the boat. They accused him of stealing it and he was set to go before the king for justice at some point. But, when all hell broke loose he was left imprisoned. Bran tells everyone to bring him forth and he is named the king. THAT would have shocked everyone and made much more sense than the ending we got. 4. Danni should have put fire to the red keep but not to the rest of the town. Then she meets up with Jon and promised to burn the rest of the town if they don't bend the knee immediately. Jon is not going to let this happen but he loves he so much. So, Jon embraces her in kisses and puts a sword through her and through himself at the same time. They share kisses and death together. There are a few other changes that could have been made. But, I believe these changes would have made the last season so much better. I also have a real REASON for the white walkers relentless move south. It is much more than just killing people. They have a reason for what they are doing written in the history of Winterfell. But, I will post that another time.
In fact since he can control anything’s mind I feel he took advantage of Drogon and used him to paint Dany is the bad guy. Then he warged into Dany. That wasn’t her talking is was him. He did it all for power. He’s the real night king
Not to mention, Dany said Cersei tried to use the innocence of the common folk against her. But she never mentions the bells. Imo, Bran could've kept her from hearing the bells, the same way Hodor was affected. Also, the first thing he does is skip out on a council meeting to find Drogon. After stating 1000 times, he isn't really Bran, one may assume that this is now the Targaryen within him that's been waiting generations for the chance to nab a dragon, and that was what this whole thing was about to start with. I'm not convinced that the Night King was evil, but was maybe supposed to protect the world from the 3 eyed raven. I liked the old Bran, but as Meera said, he died in that tree.
Also, the only reason to set up Jon to kill Dany would be so Bran could be king. If Dany died any other way, Jon would've been made king for sure. So, if you littlefinger this out, the reason for timing the reveal and possibly getting Sansa and Arya to help him turn Jon against Dany.. would be to this end.
And.. maybe the 3ER was messing with Melissandre's visions. The lord of light wasn't the one giving the power to rez.. they only had it once they lost all faith, and it shouldn't have been possible. Dondarion was needed to save Arya. Jon was needed to draw Arya to Winterfell and to kill Dany. All things the 3ER needed to become king and steal a dragon.
This would have made it so much better! Instead, we have Daenerys going from one to eighty, Jon, THE ACTUAL HEIR to the throne, becoming useless... And Bran, the Vegetable becoming the type of King that doesn't even make it to one full council meeting.
I like to think it's because of the butterfly effect that if Darnaerys didn't burn down the red keep something worse would've happened in the long run and so Bran prevented it
Do you think that all green seers are actually working for the children of the forest by default, to keep dragons out of westeros? This could explain why larys instigated the dance.
Imagine that every stupid idea in the show was Bran planting a seed in the character's mind. Cersei killing Missandei and Jamie going back to Cersei merely the petty revenge of the boy they tried to kill. Arya suddenly leaves Westeros on a whim to an area where few return from after constantly showing Bran up as a child and possessing the skill to possibly kill him. All the powerful leaders of the great houses are dead leaving behind people who are simple minded or easily swayed. All of them agree to put a young man on the throne with no grooming of leadership besides magical powers. Game of Thrones's ending is a lot easier to digest when you pretend that a medieval teenage Professor X is being a petty child filled with a desire for revenge and control.
I genuinely thought after the revelation that Bran could affect the past, that he was going to become the Night king. The Night King even looks like him in the scene where it grabs Brans arm. I thought he was going to warg into a baby offering and try and do something. Instead his journey north of the wall was for nothing.
No I disagree. I believe Bran knew he would become King only after Daenerys's demise. That's how I interpreted it. Bran can see much of the past, but can't predict the future.
Actually I the scenes where Beam training with Brinden, he had a vision of Drogon flying over Kingslanding, yet he said nothing, I the season 8 first episode, he told Sam he was waiting for a old friend, that is where Jaime Lannister finds him waiting when he arrives at Winterfell
It is established that he can see the present and past in great detail. So he could see Jaimie saying that he's going to Winterfell and see him traveling along the Kings road, concluding that Jaimie will soon be in Winterfell.
Just because he can see the future, doesn't mean he did, he was only able to see the wedding of Rheagar and Leanna after Sam told him about it. Even of he can see the future, it seems like it still takes the same amount of time to rewatch everything, Brann is not an all seeing, all knowing god.
Interesting theory, but even if true which is very likely, this may not make him a bad guy. He could have done this to prevent an even greater destruction down the line. Somewhat like the God-Emperor Leto II in Dune who did absolutely horrible things to ensure humanities survival over the long-term. Bran may have set the wheels in motion not out of a lust for power, but because every other outcome he saw was worse than what he did. Sometimes ya got to do some evil for the greater good and when you are talking about the very survival of Westeros population, the ends do indeed justify the means.
EVIL BRAN! I THOUGHT THIS JUST AFTER THE FINALE. I think he actually warged either into Drogon or Dany. When they were doing interviews after the show finished, Isaac mentioned that GRRRRM, had told him he was going to end up king. He also said, as a joke, I presume, that "wouldn't it be funny if the ending was already foreshadowed/ seen, in season 2- the 6 remaining series would be pointless." Or the equivalent. I guess he could have meant Dany's visions- with the ash in the throne room, and seeing Drogo and her child sooner than one may of thought. However, when the bells are rung, and Dany "went mad", she looks straight at the red keep and set off in that direction. In a season 2 vision, Bran sees a dragon's shadow, flying over some houses...and it was the same shot used in the penultimate episode in the whole series. From a show watcher only.
It would be so interesting that since Bloodraven was the Three-Eyed Crow/Raven some of his former ruthless ambition was absorbed by Bran during their sort of melding (although likely that meld is show only) and that caused him to become as cold and ruthless as Bryden before he became the Three-Eyed Crow.
Her best friend? Her only female freed servant. We see her ask her opinion on something, perhaps once. She knew she was loyal to her, because she freed her from her owner, but when did she ever disagree with her or even speak freely? She did that with Tyrion, but not Daenerys. Greyworm was the same way. If Daenerys had known that they were planning to leave her and go to Naath, she would have either called them traitors, or guilted them into staying. She did not care about either one of them. That is why she did not lift a finger,not even her voice to save Missandei. She left it to Tyrion, so she could blame him later.
Now that would be a good story, because that means he wasn't just wandering around aimlessly, but instead trying to play the game from the back burner. Although, I would have liked some direct buildup to this revelation
We saw the way he did Meera. She risked her life for him, even after just losing her brother and when they got back to Winterfell, all she got in return was “I don’t need you anymore” and “thank you”. His villain arc started long ago😂
That would’ve been such a crazy twist. I don’t know if it would’ve worked because I don’t know that there was enough set up… still would’ve been much better than what we actually got.
This is 100% accurate I came to similar conclusions after the finale! Bran isn't bran anymore he is the 3-eyed raven a potentially immortal being who planned out exactly how to become king and destroy every single enemy and possible contester along the way. And now the 3-eyed raven will pass from person to person and likely from king to king becoming an immortal ruler.
Not every plotpoint has to be explicity told. Open endings exist for a reason. Use your mind and fantasy to fill in plotholes (sometimes those are intended). This video is proof of that: using own thoughts to explain plotholes.
I would gladly take Bran is secretly evil over lazy writers just forgot to make him not useless.

Fun fact: while the shows tries to tell you that the ending is happy, actually bran kingdom will fucking suck, he has no sense of empathy, and even then, the kingdom is still weakened by the war, the 6 kingdoms still have a massive debt the writers forgot about (and the one in charge of economy has no idea how debts works) which means aftet the story ended, westeros would quickly fall apart and be easily conquered by essos free cities (also btw, with daeneris dead the slavers in essos are free to return their old ways)
This is a reference to the fact that Got writers have no memories
The debts was paid off with Tyrell Gold after they took Highgarden
@@hdeodh nope, they weren't at least not totally, also cersei asked another loan to hire the golden company
They're stll in debt with them
Didn’t Danny kill all the masters and leave the second sons there as a safe guard
@@Huhhh4308 nope, she just had tyrion give them a lecture, besides that they still have all their power and authority, with daenerys dead pretty much nothing is actually stopping them from killing the brave sons (who are just a small army of only 500 men) and return their old way
@@luca-ou8pv they have a little less than 2000 and Dany wiped out their fleet
Or… Like how The Third Eye Raven whispered Aerys into madness, Bran did the same to Danny.
Really???
Exactly! Plus we know that bran is capable of making people go mad. He broke Hodor's mind(accidentally in the show) who says he can't do the same on purpose?
Daenerys was the one without empathy. From Season 1.
Bran's last line to Jon would also make sense then: "You were exactly where you were supposed to be." The show could've honestly redeemed itself (at least a decent bit) by introducing Bran's twist, although it would've required strong foreshadowing from earlier episodes.
"you will never walk again
but you will fly"
I've been saying this since I saw the ending. The ending still sucks for pages of reasons but it's the literal only logical thing that came out of the ending. He set up Dany to lose a dragon north of the wall by telling Jon he saw them even though they couldn't have possibly passed without a dragon. He never used his powers to help only to make his ascent as king. Everything he did after becoming the 3 eyed Raven was geared toward knocking off his competition. You can even say he killed meeras brother and lured Bran to his death just so the 3 eyed Raven would be reborn without being stuck inside a tree.
He also probably pushed Dany to madness. Remember how he broke Hodor's mind?
yeah fan theory is that he is actually the 3 eyed raven and he is controlling Bran. Think the movie Get Out, bran can see everything but 3 eyed raven is in the driver seat. Everything leading up to ravens death was put in motion by him to lead Bran to the cave so he could ultimately take over Brans body since he was apart of the tree he could never leave....without other means. another reason is raven is basically null of emotions and then after his death, Bran magically just becomes basically mute and none empathetic same character trait
I think King Bran is the Three Eyed Raven and Bran is trapped in the Three Eyed Raven's body north of the wall. Jon could find Bran and then they get the Wolfpack back together and go take out the Three Eyed Raven
Very much agree, except I think Bran died. He is not there in the cave. Bloodraven would never risk exposure.
@@lesliemcmillan2971 Agree. As even Meera (the closest companion) noticed: "You're not Bran anymore. Youe died in that cave". This is my huge problem abt the ending honestly, it's like even Bran himself told thousend tiems 'I'm not Bran' 'I'm not a lord' 'I can't be lord of anything' and yet, they made him king of the seven kingdoms ?! lmao, which means that it's the Three eye Raven who became a king...
@luminaratano3935 exactly that is also what I'm thinking, after they're out in the cave
@luminaratano3935 and if he's not Bran then why does he say "my father", "my aunt Lyanna" etc., when he told Sam about Jon's parents? The show runners were really in a hurry to be done with the show. I don't know why they couldn't have at least semi-handed it off to Miguel Sapochnik if D & D had their hands full?
Also, wasn't Blood Raven/Three eyed Raven supposed to be a Targaryen? Then that means a Targaryen is back on the throne.
Anyway, whether it's Jon/Aegon or Bran/Raven a Targaryen-Stark is on the throne.
Makes not much of a sense to teach Bran that strictly if he'd just take him over. I think the Three Eyed Raven is a symbiote like the Trilĺs in Star Trek just not a physical one but a spiritual one. He left his old host who was dying and became something new with Brandon. Therefore he is not Brandon anymore but Brandon is also not gone and therefore still part of the family.
They should have just let someone else take over the show after season 6 because none of the plots made sense after that
That and simply work with GRRM to piece together the ending in a paceful and reasonable manner.
@@neoxceptr5824thing is that there’s so much from the books that they left out of the show that it was pretty hard for them to get it all together right. Kinda wish that they had just waited another 5 or six years to let Martin finish the next book and then start filming
Battle of the bastards was szn 7… you must not know what you’re talking about
@5inisterftw Yes... Season 7 was bad as well... I mean... Sansa was holding on to the allies of the Vale in secret. Allowing Wildlings and northern men to die until reinforcements arrived. Just bad writing 🤷🏾♂️
@@neoxceptr5824or maybe sansa is evil!
It is as simple as that!
The narrator gave a better performance on the quote “why do you think I came all this way” than Bran did
Right?! 😂
This is no longer Bran Stark…he’s the three eyed Raven now.
No but if this is how the show goes, that means Bran is the WIELDER of the Three Eyes Raven, instead of just the Vessel he is using the power🥶🥶
I’m just waiting for the reboot in 2041 when Christopher Tolkien finishes George’s two final books
Christopher Tolkien is dead lol. Hence why you now see LOTR media everywhere.
That's not really Bram. It's Bloodraven. He took over Bran's body when his puppet Night King destroyed his old one. Which is why the NK just stood there as Arya delivered the killing blow. All part of the act.
Yes.
That makes sense. Such a dark ending, honestly. I like it.
Bloodraven is a good guy. Bran on the throne brings world peace.

Bran never became King,
The Three-Eyed Raven did.
Actually Bran is The Three-Eyed Raven or more like The Three-Eyed Raven (Blackfire) is Bran.
@@bezirochepolska1295 🤓
I'm fully aware of the connection between the characters, I was making cryptic commentary on how Bran lost his humanity.
Read a fic where the 3-Eyed-Raven is a super powerful Greenseer thats been luring other powerful Greenseers to him so he can take over their body and continue from there, like a psuedo immortality. Brynden Rivers, Aka Bloodraven, just being his most recent host body.
Basically they took over Bran while teaching him how to warg, and whilst he was out of body in some animal they slipped into his skin.
It'd explain the sudden shift in behavior and attitude.
Though I havent read the books so it may be completely wrong.
Bran is actually the biggest pos of the show but no one pays enough attention.
I think you mean “Bran”

And he sent Jon back to the wall maybe as a way to destroy Jon’s claim to the throne
There is no more nights watch. He gave Jon all their lands, castles, and ships. Jon has a whole kingom. He is rich
@@ArjumandMahal Jon had a claim to the throne though and bran sent him back and used killing Daenerys as an excuse
@@willrundle2and he wants to find Drogon lol
@@newtmas6682 Yea, I bet lol!!😂
Y’all are forgetting that Jon killed Dany so he had to because greyworm was trying to kill him
i think the whole Hodor/Hold the door thing was so Bran would learn what happens when he tries to change things from being the way they were and the way theyre supposed to be. he may have known - but he also knew that the only true way the best ending comes is if he lets it ride.
If they ever make the SNOW spin-off/sequal, this should be the plot!
From memory, George wanted to write spinoff books of Arya
Cancelled.
All they had to do at the end is make him stand along with blue eyes and end it there
I love how you imply ppl actually had any chance against the dragons. Also, Bran has such knowledge that he may also be well aware that this was the best course of action.
I mean.. they kinda would have a chance against the dragons if warned, they're not invulnerable.
Without a Bran POV chapter, one that reveals his thoughts, this conjecture is a bit weak. First, the extent of his powers are unknown. So, what did he know? What could he know? Second, the show reveals Dany choosing to burn King's Landing. She had agency; it was her decision to burn King's Landing. It's only by attributing omniscience and super warging powers to Bran that this explanation makes sense. Finally, it us assumed Bran becoming King was a bad thing. Who, after all, would be capable of taking Westros and the world from a dream of spring to spring?
@@sdzielinski season 8 is a whole mess, we can't argue on that. It is a fact that most character actions weren't properly justify in their development. About Bran, although his power aren't explained, we can assume he has acquired such knowledge that he's a obvious choice for a king at this point. I won't lose our time in a long boring essay, but as someone who is currently rewatching the whole show for it's 10th time, knownledge is the centre of power in Westoros. The most influent people are those who could spy the best (Littlefinger, Varys, Cersei...). Bran litteraly has to power to spy in ppl past. Thus, Bran is able to blackmail who the fuck he want to maintain peace.
@@Cavedogman well, as bad as it was depicted in the show (imo), Dragom ain't EZ to kill. One dragom was enough to destroy Westeros capital. Yes the 2 others died, and I don't know how it goes in the book, but it felt more like some showrunners plot tool than actual feat
Danny’s dragons are still young, Dorne managed to kill an even older one before so it is not impossible.
I think everybody knew Danaerys was gonna burn that shit down.
Right 😂 like you win or die
Yup. She was ever so slowly getting there. Until the end-then BAM***
these people really trying hard to find an excuse for her madness Lol😂😂😂 real 12 yr old fangirls she got 😂😂
We knew she was a mass murdering tyrant. The naive in the audience were OK with it because she was immolating the right people.
I mean you can recognize the role he took- hes essentially god. He sees all BUT he may not interfere. Even in the north when they were discussing who was to rule- he already knew what the people would choose , he just spoke because he can and its his family- but to him nothing is truly close. Hes a handsoff participant
In House of the Dragon, Vhagar kills one of Rhanera’s children and Aemond claims he did it on purpose. This is because he can’t have it seem like he doesn’t control his Dragon.
What if something similar happened here. Daenerys flew to the red keep to kill Cercie, but Bran warged into Drogon and started to burn Kings Landing down. Dany, pretended this was her decision to hide the fact that she didn’t have control over her dragon.
It’s possible that everything that happened before + watching her “child” burn innocents alive drove her mad in the final episode
In Fire and Blood, that was reported. In that dismal excuse for a show, they went out of their way to make it seem like an accident.
In the books Aemond did it on purpose
But she didn't show remorse. If it was an accident she would have at least told Tyrion it was an accident
@@ItsMe-mn8qk maybe Jon, definitely not Tyrion. But as I said, watching half a million people be burned alive by your ‘child’ might’ve driven her mad
Interesting point!!!
Yes he was the wolf waiting at the farm gate for his next feed
Bran is cowering in some dark recess of his mind while Bloodraven wears him like he wore Hodor.
I caught that line the second he said it and argued that same thing with my family and friends. Bran and Sansa are the true villains for me
The power hungry garbage siblings
Bran could see what happened in the past and what is happening in the present. He could not predict the future. He probably "came all this way" because he could see what Tyrion was reflecting on during his time as prisoners
If George makes Bran King in the books his novel will live in infamy because it's such a dumb decision. In my opinion Bran becoming Jon's master of whisperers for blood raven's genetic experiment of Valariyan & First Men blood that he's cultivated (Jon Snow) is a much better fit for his story ending. Having someone as open minded and noble as Jon who would ensure a new pact with the Others, oversee the planting of new weirwood trees in the south, and allow the children of the forest to repopulate would be ideal instead of seizing power.
She was blood drunk before she even met jon
The ending was actually for showed in season 4 when the slave owners tried to kill her people she wanted to get her dragon and burn down everything but her counselors talked her out of it but in season 8 she had lost all her friends/ counselors so there was no one there to talk her out of it as for John not wanting to be king a lot of people forget that before he was killed he wanted to be king but after being killed he wanted nothing to do with being king. That's why if u rewatch it. It's actually a really good end except for how short the big battle was with the ice walkers. As for the books that's kinda what happens when you don't finish writing the books before your tv show ketchs up with them and then goes pass the books so that now the books have to kinda follow the TV show and explain stuff better had the books been done we probably have a total different ending then what we got
No, it’s still a horrible ending.
if they make jon snow spin off where he finds out brian is evil and fights him would be crazy
All denery was true heir of Iron throne. And she wanted to break the wheel? Well bran then helped her to break the wheel.
If we ever get the Jon Snow series, they should make Bran into an antagonist. It wouldn't fix season eight, but it would be interesting and make the show's ending less bad, though not by much.
So, centuries of incest and people are not ok with her being crazy but they're ok with having bran be evil as an excuse for what happened.
its actually a horrifying thought that Bran orchestrated the whole thing. Or, more tot he point, the Three Eyed Raven Orchestrated it.
Imagibe; Theyve now placed a omniscient entity on the throne that can pass itself on to another. So, if they set up an elective kingdom, where the heir is chosen while the previous ruler still lives (to avoid any interregnum chaos), the three eyed raven can just transfer itself to the heir. So they now have an immortal king.
On top of that, The TER (three eyed raven) can see all human history, as soon as it happens. So why would it care that it gave the North its freedom? Once the 6 Kingdoms is consolidated and powerful again, where any an all dissent will be KNOWN immediately, the TER can just march its armies to reclaim the north. How do you fight an army that knows all your battle plans the moment you make them? If you, or anyone discusses a weakness, the TER will know. It will be easy to crush the North and bring it back under the Iron Throne.
This will be true for THE ENTIRE WORLD. the TEr is immortal, and cannot be deposed, so it has all the time in the world to conquer everythign, and anyone who rises up in opposition will be unable to form a strong rebellion, becaus ethe TEr will know what they plan at all times
Bran saw what was going to happen, he knew he couldn’t change anything or maybe he knew if he warned anyone it would be worse
Three eyes raven warged and overcame Bran's mind, and then warged into Dany from Bran's body, drove her mad and made himself king. The Blackfyres won
Is the three eyed raven a Blackfyre?
I suggest you read "FutureWalker" a Korean novel.
Int the story, FutureWalker can walk the future, but she either any person can't change the future walked. Because knowing it doesn't mean having the power to change the future.
She didn’t go mad. Breaking under emotional duress is not madness. God I hate that some “fans don’t understand this.
Cersei killed tens of thousands as well and no one calls her mad.
Other than that, I do believe that Brown had a hand in her snapping point I do believe that he should have could have stopped so many bad things from happening, but chose not to brand is the one who is mad who is crazy no one else
Cercei didn't twist it to convince herself that what she was doing was a good thing like Daenerys did. Cercei was evil. Daenerys was mad. You're comparing apples to oranges
P.s. his name is BRAN. but yes, i totally agree with you, 💯%
@@azno3442no, actually, they are both human beings, with free will, and chose what they wanted to do with it. People grew to expect dany to be this princess of virtue and light. Remember one of her first epiphanies?? She aint trying to gain control of the wheel. She wants to BREAK IT. and then, after cersei the never-queen queen of incest decided to be cold stone stupid and execute missandei while dany just stood there, unable to do anything, WHAT DID MISSANDEI SAY?? ....DRACARYS!!! AND it was a wrap. Once jon snow spurned her, it was on. And yall telling me if ALL THAT HAPPENED, you wouldnt be super angry And make decisions you might regret later??? How many people died at the sept of baelor because of the greenfire cersei lit under it. JUST so she could escape justice. Dany NEVER WENT "MAD". SHE WENT "DRAGON". And NOBODY can blame her!!! Shes a Targaryen!!!
@@azno3442 no she just killed them out of spite. Not Apple and oranges at all and the fact that you don’t get this is appalling
Dany was wrong and you people should just accept it and stop making excuses that she went mad
1. Bran should have control the mind have a white Walker's dragon. He should have throwing the white Walker off of it and taken control by sitting on it himself and flying it. That way he could have assisted. He could have done this with the voice of the three eyed dragon repeating in his head you will never walk again but you will fly.
2. Aria still could have defeated the king white walker but just needed a little back story. When she and The Hound were sharing big brother stories, she could have simply mentioned that her big brother Jon also shared his blood with her by poking both their fingers and sharing blood. This gave her courage all her life and whenever she is scared of anything she remembers she has the blood of her fearless brother in her veins. This way when she slays the king white walker it is the blood of the Prince that was promised inside her that does it.
3. Gendry should have been named king. Bran reveals someone with true kings blood is in the dungeons they realize Gendry was arrested for not being able to prove where he got the boat. They accused him of stealing it and he was set to go before the king for justice at some point. But, when all hell broke loose he was left imprisoned. Bran tells everyone to bring him forth and he is named the king. THAT would have shocked everyone and made much more sense than the ending we got.
4. Danni should have put fire to the red keep but not to the rest of the town. Then she meets up with Jon and promised to burn the rest of the town if they don't bend the knee immediately. Jon is not going to let this happen but he loves he so much. So, Jon embraces her in kisses and puts a sword through her and through himself at the same time. They share kisses and death together.
There are a few other changes that could have been made. But, I believe these changes would have made the last season so much better.
I also have a real REASON for the white walkers relentless move south. It is much more than just killing people. They have a reason for what they are doing written in the history of Winterfell. But, I will post that another time.
In fact since he can control anything’s mind I feel he took advantage of Drogon and used him to paint Dany is the bad guy. Then he warged into Dany. That wasn’t her talking is was him. He did it all for power. He’s the real night king
This is now my head canon
Quit trying to make sense of Dave and dans ending; it’s like interpreting poop smears by monkeys has hieroglyphics
I like the theory that Bran isnt Bran anymore, but was taken over by Bloodraven. Which, could also make this theory possibly too lol
That was clear in the show. The Three Eyed Raven had Bran's face and memories.
It was also made clear that Dany was a mass murdering tyrant.
hes just so boring. at least the older version of blood raven managed to b slightly exciting
Not to mention, Dany said Cersei tried to use the innocence of the common folk against her. But she never mentions the bells. Imo, Bran could've kept her from hearing the bells, the same way Hodor was affected. Also, the first thing he does is skip out on a council meeting to find Drogon. After stating 1000 times, he isn't really Bran, one may assume that this is now the Targaryen within him that's been waiting generations for the chance to nab a dragon, and that was what this whole thing was about to start with. I'm not convinced that the Night King was evil, but was maybe supposed to protect the world from the 3 eyed raven. I liked the old Bran, but as Meera said, he died in that tree.
I rly hope Drogon flew Dany to a red priestess for a rez, and she comes back to light Bran up. Personally
And where was Bran when he was "elsewhere" waiting for the NK during the battle? Making sure Jorah didn't make it? To further break Dany down?
Also, the only reason to set up Jon to kill Dany would be so Bran could be king. If Dany died any other way, Jon would've been made king for sure. So, if you littlefinger this out, the reason for timing the reveal and possibly getting Sansa and Arya to help him turn Jon against Dany.. would be to this end.
And.. maybe the 3ER was messing with Melissandre's visions. The lord of light wasn't the one giving the power to rez.. they only had it once they lost all faith, and it shouldn't have been possible. Dondarion was needed to save Arya. Jon was needed to draw Arya to Winterfell and to kill Dany. All things the 3ER needed to become king and steal a dragon.
Bran was in control of the night king all along
Bran didn't plan it all, Bran only See's present and past not future. So how did he plan it all?
This would have made it so much better! Instead, we have Daenerys going from one to eighty, Jon, THE ACTUAL HEIR to the throne, becoming useless... And Bran, the Vegetable becoming the type of King that doesn't even make it to one full council meeting.
I like to think it's because of the butterfly effect that if Darnaerys didn't burn down the red keep something worse would've happened in the long run and so Bran prevented it
It was sloppy writing, don't read so much into it.
Do you think that all green seers are actually working for the children of the forest by default, to keep dragons out of westeros? This could explain why larys instigated the dance.
😮
Imagine that every stupid idea in the show was Bran planting a seed in the character's mind. Cersei killing Missandei and Jamie going back to Cersei merely the petty revenge of the boy they tried to kill.
Arya suddenly leaves Westeros on a whim to an area where few return from after constantly showing Bran up as a child and possessing the skill to possibly kill him.
All the powerful leaders of the great houses are dead leaving behind people who are simple minded or easily swayed. All of them agree to put a young man on the throne with no grooming of leadership besides magical powers.
Game of Thrones's ending is a lot easier to digest when you pretend that a medieval teenage Professor X is being a petty child filled with a desire for revenge and control.
I genuinely thought after the revelation that Bran could affect the past, that he was going to become the Night king.
The Night King even looks like him in the scene where it grabs Brans arm. I thought he was going to warg into a baby offering and try and do something. Instead his journey north of the wall was for nothing.
It was just such terrible writing
Bran waking up from his fall at the end of the show and it all had been a dream.
No I disagree. I believe Bran knew he would become King only after Daenerys's demise. That's how I interpreted it. Bran can see much of the past, but can't predict the future.
What? That’s not even true. He can see the past, present, and future. Hence the three eyes.
Actually I the scenes where Beam training with Brinden, he had a vision of Drogon flying over Kingslanding, yet he said nothing,
I the season 8 first episode, he told Sam he was waiting for a old friend, that is where Jaime Lannister finds him waiting when he arrives at Winterfell
It is established that he can see the present and past in great detail. So he could see Jaimie saying that he's going to Winterfell and see him traveling along the Kings road, concluding that Jaimie will soon be in Winterfell.
Even a little smile, a simple smirk at the end would do...but Nooooooooo....
Stop talking about this garbage show.
Stick to the books.
That's the only reason I subscribed to this channel.
Don’t tell people what to do
He wakes up and he realised he is Harry Potter, a boy sleeping the cupboard
Just because he can see the future, doesn't mean he did, he was only able to see the wedding of Rheagar and Leanna after Sam told him about it. Even of he can see the future, it seems like it still takes the same amount of time to rewatch everything, Brann is not an all seeing, all knowing god.
I didn't think he could see the future, just the past and present
Interesting theory, but even if true which is very likely, this may not make him a bad guy. He could have done this to prevent an even greater destruction down the line. Somewhat like the God-Emperor Leto II in Dune who did absolutely horrible things to ensure humanities survival over the long-term. Bran may have set the wheels in motion not out of a lust for power, but because every other outcome he saw was worse than what he did. Sometimes ya got to do some evil for the greater good and when you are talking about the very survival of Westeros population, the ends do indeed justify the means.
If that's the case, then Bran was playing chess all the time while everyone else was playing checkers.
@@ChristChickAutistic Great analogy!!
EVIL BRAN! I THOUGHT THIS JUST AFTER THE FINALE. I think he actually warged either into Drogon or Dany.
When they were doing interviews after the show finished, Isaac mentioned that GRRRRM, had told him he was going to end up king.
He also said, as a joke, I presume, that "wouldn't it be funny if the ending was already foreshadowed/ seen, in season 2- the 6 remaining series would be pointless." Or the equivalent.
I guess he could have meant Dany's visions- with the ash in the throne room, and seeing Drogo and her child sooner than one may of thought. However, when the bells are rung, and Dany "went mad", she looks straight at the red keep and set off in that direction.
In a season 2 vision, Bran sees a dragon's shadow, flying over some houses...and it was the same shot used in the penultimate episode in the whole series.
From a show watcher only.
It would be so interesting that since Bloodraven was the Three-Eyed Crow/Raven some of his former ruthless ambition was absorbed by Bran during their sort of melding (although likely that meld is show only) and that caused him to become as cold and ruthless as Bryden before he became the Three-Eyed Crow.
DAMN That last pice of artwork depicting bran is insanely cool! Who's the artist??
i like the time traveling night king bran theory most
What if bran is evil and got in to Dani head and using her pain of the dragons she lost and Missandei dying and made her burn everybody?
Danerys went crazy after Cersei killed her best friend not because of John Snow. She wanted him to be by her side.
She was also clearly a mass murdering tyrant before she met Jon.
Her best friend? Her only female freed servant. We see her ask her opinion on something, perhaps once. She knew she was loyal to her, because she freed her from her owner, but when did she ever disagree with her or even speak freely? She did that with Tyrion, but not Daenerys. Greyworm was the same way. If Daenerys had known that they were planning to leave her and go to Naath, she would have either called them traitors, or guilted them into staying. She did not care about either one of them. That is why she did not lift a finger,not even her voice to save Missandei. She left it to Tyrion, so she could blame him later.
Bran was just playing the game of thrones like everyone else 😂.
Bran sees the whole of the tapestry. Not just the individual puzzle pieces. He is the epitome of the Butterfly effect.
Lord of the dial up connection
That’s exactly what I was thinking when Bran said that creepy line. He could have stopped the burning of Kings Landing
No he couldn’t because he only saw the past and the present not the future
Maybe it's a Doctor Manhatten situation where he can see every point in time but is unable to affect it.
Thanks for this i never looked at this from this view
or he simply let fate runs it's course
I like the theory that it isn't Bran but Bloodraven all along.
Last scene: his eyes turn blue
Bran isn't really "Bran"
He died and became the three-eyed raven. He said that to Meera and Jaime.
The 3 Eyed Raven saw all possible futures. This is the one he chose for his own profit.
Now that would be a good story, because that means he wasn't just wandering around aimlessly, but instead trying to play the game from the back burner. Although, I would have liked some direct buildup to this revelation
We saw the way he did Meera. She risked her life for him, even after just losing her brother and when they got back to Winterfell, all she got in return was “I don’t need you anymore” and “thank you”. His villain arc started long ago😂
That would’ve been such a crazy twist. I don’t know if it would’ve worked because I don’t know that there was enough set up… still would’ve been much better than what we actually got.
I agree this would have been a much better ending. Bran the Broken's Revenge. 🐺🐺🐺🐺
Remembering how determined Bran was as a young boy I could totally see this as being credible.
You notice in the end when they're all at the small council meeting where trade they?? Everything was destroyed..
This is 100% accurate I came to similar conclusions after the finale! Bran isn't bran anymore he is the 3-eyed raven a potentially immortal being who planned out exactly how to become king and destroy every single enemy and possible contester along the way. And now the 3-eyed raven will pass from person to person and likely from king to king becoming an immortal ruler.
I think he learned not to meddle with what is going to happen after what he did to Hodor.
Not every plotpoint has to be explicity told. Open endings exist for a reason. Use your mind and fantasy to fill in plotholes (sometimes those are intended). This video is proof of that: using own thoughts to explain plotholes.
Nah i think bran just heard tyrion talking to himself in his jail cell when he first came up with bran being king.
