My ultimate goal is to gaslight myself enough so that I believe these events actually happened in the show.
Yes! This will be a difficult one but I thought the same thing. I’m gonna start the gaslighting process on my mind beginning today. I’ll let you know how it’s going a month or so from now. I really hope it works.
@@StefunnyStrange So true, I loved when bran warged into his direwolf and saved himself in season 1, absolutely canon and huge
Is that how green sight works 😂
@@AfterlifeAnubis Oh Bran saving himself from the past as his direwolf was awesome alright, but his fights with the night king stole the show. Both the one as a dragon and the last 1v1.
They did bro, what do you mean?
Fix what? Who has a better story than "Bran the Broken" 🤣🤣
#sarcasm lol

D&D are the nerds who finally got to sit at the "cool kids" table and then started acting as if they were too cool for their original nerd friends.
And Season 8 was them trying to fit in with the cool kids (AKA "football players") by ditching all the fantasy and politics that made GoT amazing
@@openthemind1244 that part actually made me laugh out loud. It's obvious they just didn't have the skill to write bran because......why would they assume one character being magical would ruin the show for people who play football? 😭 😭
It is also si idiotic of them to not know their audience. Wth was that xD
The fact you mix Skyrim and Witcher 3 music together in the background has not gone unnoticed. Its beautiful
I heard Star Wars music at one point as well in a video. Fun discoveries
I got confused for a second because I've been replaying Witcher 3 and watching some videos then I switched to this video and I kept hearing Witcher music lol 😂 thought I was going crazy.
Bran using fallen warriors to fight the night king is brilliant writing. It lends itself to brans goal of knowledge - learning from those who he has outlived to defeat someone who doenst value death. Very well done- best video of yours to date (and all of them are excellent so that’s not an easy feat)
I just think that the logistics would also need to be accounted for in that scene. There would need to be something that will fight the group of white walkers that will 100% be alongside the Night King otherwise it's very convenient that he is alone to fight Bran. That could be done via Jon and other valyrian sword wielders. Apart from that, it's a great idea and is much better than the stupidity D&D pulled.
The changes to the Night King especially were phenomenal. I wish they’d explored his backstory and its obvious interlinks with Brans story and the three eyed raven. Great work sir 👏
Holy shit, this is the most beautiful story rewrite that I've ever seen. Going so far as to affect Targaryen dreams and establishing the Night King in such a fascinatingly deep and mysterious fashion is the perfect fix for the story.
You did a gargantuan amount of work with this one and I can only hope that GRRM thinks about something similar for his Bran's character ark.
Grrm thought of all of this, this guys just using book fan theories and George’s ideas to make himself sound smart lmao. Yeah the show sucked, but how to rewrite Bran? Step one, be GRRM. that’s it, it’s his character
@@The_Tin_Knight keep crying he wrote something better than u
Well no actually he didnt write anything you fool, stealing the authors ideas to 'rewrite' a show character that is already being written by the man who created the character.. just someone with no creativity trying to piggyback off a great author for content. maybe he should write his own story if he is so good at writing characters? its easy to 'fix;' something in hindsight sure, but could he have done better in the first place than even the show writers Bran? I doubt it.@@RNDMPLYR-jo6wf
@@RNDMPLYR-jo6wfhow is he crying he’s just stating that GRRM made bran and likely has a good storyline for him, you’re the one getting pissy for no reason
@@RNDMPLYR-jo6wfalso genius you don’t have to create something to be able to critique it crazy that needs to be said
Wow. You really put a lot of thought into this, and it shows. This is the best way I've seen to fix his character.
Roberts rebellion wasnt only caused by Robert being emotional about Lyanna's "Kidnapping", but also other things The Mad King done like killing Bran"s grandfather.
Supercuts going full The Critical Drinker Fixes...Bran Stark and i'm all for it.
Except I think Supercuts is a more competent critic than Drinker
@@firstlast9846 I like the Drinker. Of all the anti-woke UA-cam commentators, he's the fairest and least outrage-clickbaity. ( I also watch Nerdrotic and Disparu, but they make me roll my eyes sometimes.)
@Madeleine_des - I agree - he’s not insufferable like Tyrone Magnus (He’s literal scum) he sometimes has fair points but when he trails off onto the woke stuff - he loses me.
@@Madeleine_des_Esseintes nerdrotic is a fraud. Hes just another grifter who loves when mad movies come out so he can cry about it to get money. Every time he does those long live streams, his panellists are openly racist, their racism cancels out any legitimate critique they have of movies/shows. Their complaints are repetitive and boring, tbh i dont watch marvel kids movies and any man in their 40s with multiple children's toys in a room is cringy.
All drinker does now is woke spot which takes no skill whatsoever. I miss the old Drinker who actually had some good takes. The more he hangs with the red pill crowd, the more his videos have evolved into “Look at this woke thing. And look at this other woke thing!” And I’m pretty conservative, not some lefty who is just hating on him but even **I**, a conservative , can see that he’s just grifting off of conservative fans’ anger now. His videos are now mostly the same.
MORE OF THESE PLEASE ITS FANTASTIC
I love when he rips on season 8 :)
Worst final season for ever show ever.
WB should of got in new writers. Could of got 10 seasons as EVERYONE (the actors, us fans, WB) wanted more seasons.
this
This was an amazing video! The Night King being a former pupil and the final fight against the Night King being Bran using the knowledge he attains of all the great swordsmen of Westeros were just two ideas I loved the most. I can imagine in my head him watching the swordsmen in battle while it transitions into his fight with the Night King using the exact moves. Maybe a little cheesy as you say but nonetheless epic.
Last but not least, F*** D&D!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aaaaaaaaand Bran finally got to be a knight like he always wanted in the books
Its also great payoff for when King Robert tells him that he'll be a soldier in S1E1
@@inari3298 "You'll be a soldier" - Bobby B
@@Skelber Exactly, he never wanted to be a Prince of winterfell, he wanted to be a knight like Arthur Dayne as it was impliyed in the books
"Not to mention he is literally omniscient. So, writing a character with that kind of strength is very difficult. So David and Dan fumbling this character is honestly not surprising." Is there a character Dumb and Dumber did not fumble?
hmm.. maybe samwell and brienne? maybe.
Ed Sheeran
They most certainly ruined Jamie with one sentence and it’s unforgivable
@@RicketyRocketyRoo but you have to admit they dumbed down briennes goals and emotions to nothing more than wanting Jaimie’s d
All characters that died in Seasons 1-4 😂
dude i don't know what you smoked but you should have written the show
D&D could have got help if they wanted plot lines, and scripting for interesting conversations. They clearly understood what audiences generally wanted and what worked for a television show. So they were still valuable to have around. It's literally they just didn't care about the show or their careers anymore. It's really odd as anybody else in a spot of being offered 6+ years of guaranteed job security in a very technically challenging position they loved for 3+ years would be thrilled to stay put.
I think the whole time travel thing had one wrinkle: The Three Eyed raven is Bloodworm, who had only been alive for about 140 years
Isn't he "Bloodraven" (Brynden Rivers)? I'm pretty Bloodworm is Caraxes' nickname ☺️
@@noegiard494 Caraxes's nickname is actually Bloodwyrm
But you're right about Brynden Rivers
10:34 The current 3 eyed raven is Brynden Rivers, a Targaryen bastard of Aegon the Unworthy
How do we know? Was it mentioned in the books?
@@inari3298 Not directly mentioned but the text makes it virtually certain that it's him. There is a possibility that the 3ER is different from the figure Bran meets in the cave but the latter is definitely Bloodraven.
I think David and Dan deviated from it being Brynden Rivers. Given that in Season 6 Episode 3 the 3-Eyed Raven says this: "You think I wanted to sit here for 1000 years watching the world from a distance as the roots grew threw me?" So I was going off of that.
@@SupercutsDelight Agreed. The show’s 3ER is a different character. Although I am almost certain that HBO will retcon it to be Bloodraven when they eventually adapt the Blackfyre rebellion.
You should finish reading the books. The show versions of most major characters are vastly different from their book counterparts.
@@SupercutsDelight That could be a possibility, but what he means by "1000 years" is ambiguous. Given that it is established that the 3ER can see the future the past and the present at the same time. So the concept of time is different for him.
But I think you're right, D&D didn't really think about the 3ER's identity, they just used him as a plot device
Your Night King fight sounds awesome. To add to it, the Night King should resurrect past Starks from the crypt to fight with him. Bran recognizes them and builds up the power to warg into the Night King's Dragon. Jon watches as it leaves to help Jorah land the killing blow.
two minutes into watching i kept being distracted by something moving beneath the video
i realized it was the thumbs up counter going up and at the time it only had 90 likes and i went "wtf this is already great why not more?" and realized that the video was less than 1 hour old
This was fantastic and gave me a lot more respect for Bran as a character, I’m still not fully onboard with him becoming king, but I can see past that. My favorite part was when “Bran” was dueling the Night King and how he used all the best parts from the great swordsman of Westeros. It’s so satisfying because Bran always dreamed of being a knight. I hope George sees this video. Peace ✌🏻
P.S. I still think Bran would make a better Hand to someone like Jon or Young Griff, but he's probably going to be king.
Bran being King is one of GRR Martins big reveals to the writers to be fair even the original idea is bran being king not to mention hes the main character in the whole story.
@@Challis1989going off of how many chapters each character has, Ned and Catelyn are overarching protagonists, Jon, Tyrion, Arya, Daenerys, Sansa, Bran, Jaime and Davos are the closest to main characters, though I'd say overall main protagonist goes to Jon, Daenerys or Bran.
What a video… absolutely amazing! I almost startet crying when u talked about the possibility of the dynamic btw the direwolfs, Arya and bran at the red wedding, this would have been unbelievable emotional writing, great job with the video
this is one of the best and most thoughtfully interwoven rewrites i’ve seen, and i’ve been trying to blast my brain with as many as possible in a vain attempt to forget the original shows ending lol. incredible job!!
The night king being one of the 3 eyed ravens old pupils is actually genius, if George does reveal a night king in the book I hope he goes down the route you came up with by here👏🏻
Great video. This story makes so much more sense not just for Bran, but for the entire show in general
Wow, this rewrite was so incredible. Like literally. You did this so well.
So happy you air new videos like this
This made so much sense and actually makes Brans story SO much more meaningful and interesting. Good stuff!
This was absolutely brilliant! Top tier stuff. From being a casual fan like us to writing something that's infinitely better than what the actual writers came up with. Hope you'll continue this series with other major characters like tyrio, jamie, dany, cersei, as all of them desperately require a rewrite.
Wow. That was awesome. Thank you, this replacement story now lives in my head instead of the show.
Let’s kickstart your version from season 5 onward lol
Those are amazing ideas and I got excited hearing them! Please keep doing this kind of videos, thanks man!
Bro is beyond saving
I LOVE THIS. no i do, really. everything you said was great in my eyes, especially the "Bran saving himself by warging into the direwolf" and the twisted finale. truly amazing stuff, good job! also, i know you said other channels have made videos fixing the end of the show, but i will be subscribed to your channel (even when hacked lol) until you make a video like that too. dont get me wrong, i'll be subscribed after too, but i can die happy after the video
Dude I love all of your videos, but this one blows the others out of the water. This was an amazing theory and I want more. Bravo!!
👏 The story and context you gave makes the same ending so much better then I could have ever imagined.
Dude.....this is actually brilliant! I am amazed that you came up with this. This would have made the show infinitely better. Give this man a job writing television!
No idea how this only has 2.1k likes out of literally hundreds of thousands of views. You nailed it! Well done! 👌
Always thought the Mad King screaming "burn them all" was an obvious spot to bring Bran in in some capacity.
Great Job! I especially loved your evil pupil Story Line ❤️
This is for sure my favorite night king theory, I think it makes a lot of sense in the story. Great video!
this is, definitely your best video, hands down!
This is genuinely perfect. I’m not sure I could put it better if I tried
As we can see in this video: all it takes is a bit more time and a thought process to come up with a satisfying conclusion to a character arc and the whole of the story. If only D&D could have done such a thing. Here's hoping GRR will show us the true path for his story.
Man we need you to make a full series of videos were you fix Game of Thrones season 5 to 8, episode by episode, you're great at this
I don't know why nobody says this, but you have a very relaxing voice! It's pleasant to listen to. Also, love your content, especially the humourous ones. They make me laugh whenever I think of them.
Omg this was awesome, please make a 4h long video where you eventually put all your changes from all the videos in to one big rewrite beginning from season 5! I would watch that in one sitting, being thrilled and excited about this amazing payoff while also crying bc it never actually happend
we need a series on thisssss
Incredible video!!!
This sounds amazing
This is so crazy it's everything the show should/could've been but even better. Kudos to you man, damn.
I really enjoyed the video. I found myself feeling different emotions while watching the video. Great writing. I would love a "Fixing Tyrion" video.
Well done. This, whilst obviously a lot more simplified that the narrative promised in the books, is much more satisfying than the drivel we got with Bran post-S4. It provides a clear emotional arc with a beginning (Bran the pupil), middle (Bran the graduate), and end (Bran the ultimate puppet-master).
You deserve props for having crafted something like this. Have you read the books?
Usually these idea videos are trash but this is pure gold.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
This had some truly amazing ideas that I WISH they had used in the show instead. Many channels may have covered how they’d rewrite the battle of winterfell, etc, but this is another video that makes me curious on your full take, it’s purely imaginative
I would love to watch your revised and very believable adaptation play out on the screen.
This is amazing
At 22:15 bro started cooking 🤯🤯🤯🤯
YOOOOOOOO this is absolute GAS⛽️ good shit man
This combined with uniquenameosaurus’s rewrite are absolutely stellar omg
i love how this channel when from memeing the episodes to real episode analysis
As someone who likes god emperor of dune as the last good book in the series im sad we never saw more Bran. There very similar charcters and id love to see him influencing the world and diving deeper and deeper into the depths of his past lives. Spending time waiting for key events in the future a tree slowly growing around him until a new crisis begins to arise so it can be niped in the bud. They actually share a terrible purpose to save humanity from a species destroying polt. With Bran going against the night king as a metaphor for climate change. And in dune Leto see's an end to the future. A device that spreads to every imperial planet and snuffs it out. Which I think is a metaphor about the danger of having the fates of everyone in the hands of the self intrested few?
That
Was
AMAZING!
Your fixes are always so good, and help alot of us mentally heal from the emotional damage of the later seasons I think xD
I honestly really like this idea and definitely prefer it to what we got. It would explain a lot of things, specifically the Night King and what his motivations are. It also would make the later seasons more comprehensible and redeem the long night episode.
Awesome. Bran was always my least fave POV, should I say even disliked POV, but this is amazing. You made his arc so cool and satisfying.
Loved the changes to the night king the most. This whole story is brilliant
your brain power is unmatched omfg!!!!! amazing storytelling
this is incredible
Brilliant, really good. I like the way you are explaining these theories. But i also feel like that some of the hate is too much forced, not exactly this video but things like Sansa asking about using dagger does not seem to me like its bad at all, just ok. But i really appreciate video where you also show some good stuff of season 8. But in the end good job !
Whoever made this thumbnail major props 😂
I died 😂
Bran influencing the past made me think of the Knight of the Laughing Tree and how Bran wanted to be a knight even just for a day.
I also think Ser Jorah dying and then revived is possible since it also happened to Benjen Stark but they used dragon glass to prevent him from fully becoming a wight.
Bran being the king will also allow him to nurture future three eyed ravens with ease.
My only problem with the idea of Bran being the knight of the laughing tree is that I was always under the impression and there’s significant evidence to back this up that is that Lyanna is the knight of the laughing tree which is really cool imo.
Bran being king was dumb
Bran always wanted to become a knight before he was disabled so it makes sense for him to become the best fighter by warging and defeat the Night King
Omfg, i love the story idea you had. I wished HBO had hired you 8 years or so ago
Love that this evil third raven pupil is giving strong eren from aot vibes just messing with events to plan out how he wants
damn, that final ending with Tyrion and Bran would've been so rich and deep. Amazing story rewrite!
that time travel arc was mind blowing
This rewrite gave me chills! Like holy s**t was this AMAZING. It kinda makes me angrier though… about what _could have_ been if seasons 5-8 had competent writers and those two doofuses weren’t running the show into the ground. I don’t even expect D&D to think of anything this great because they’re just NOT this smart or creative. Still, they could have AT LEAST brought a writer in to assist with wrapping everything up. But D&D were just too big-headed and too ego-driven, and they just HAD to be the ones to finish the story and be the ones responsible for subverting everyone’s expectations. 🙄 And it was a colossal FAIL. I’m glad their selfish decisions led to their reputations being ruined and losing the deals they neglected the show for like Star Wars. Many fans trusted them to do this show justice so I don’t care that fans are still harassing them about that god-awful ending. They deserve the hate they get. If you are reading a script to the cast and it is jarring to the majority of them and you see a room full of negative reactions, which we clearly saw behind the scenes during the table read…only an arrogant FOOL would choose to still move forward with this story. If your cast is laughing, looking uncomfortable and appearing dumbfounded while you’re reading the script, it may be time to scrap that scrip! But D&D were just too arrogant and thought they knew better than everyone else including George. The audacity!. I remember once they even suggested in a BTS clip that they enjoyed NOT listening to the cast and ignoring their concerns. For instance, they enjoyed killing off Selmy after the actor confronted them with his concerns of killing the character after he read the books. It was like a sick game to D&D. They enjoyed playing God. Anyway, this ending didn’t just fix Bran, it also wraps so many other plot points up as well. It also ELEVATED scenes from earlier seasons. This would’ve had fans going back again and again to rewatch episodes and try to spot the clues they missed. With each great idea you had I was like “F*CK!” and would throw something across my room in frustration. This fix made me excited and angry at the same time.
you absolutely cooked with the battle of winterfell
Um gênio do roteiro, criar essa ideia do rei da noite foi a coisa mais que eu já vi alguém concertar em Got, simplesmente deu camadas ao rei da noite.
I like the idea of the Night king being accidentally corrupted rather than intentionally planning it more but overall hell yeah cool af.
Honestly i wanted to watch this video but seeing it about Bran. I’ll wait for the next.
I absolutely love it. Is there a reason, you stopped at making Ser Jorah's eyes red? It seems like it was a short detour to make Bran the true power behind the R'hllor, Lord of Light, which would make the dark pupil, the Great Other.
I think bringing in Bloodraven's backstory would have been effective in highlighting the differences and how F'd up what he's doing to Bran is. He was an adult who'd spent decades playing the game of thrones. He'd fought wars, manipulated the politics of the land. He was like Tywin, Varys, and Littlefinger rolled into one. Plus, he has magic. Now he's passing the torch to a crippled orphan who's whole family has been devastated.
Man, I got goosebumps when you brought up Bran witnessing the RW. If TWOW ever comes up, I'd be satisfied with GRRM pulling out something along these lines. Again, this shows you that the plot points of the later seasons weren't the issue in the ending of the series, but rather the poor execution of Dumb & Dumber.
Absolute masterpiece I’ve spread on TikTok to try blow this video up
Even if they only took 1/3 of this FIXING into the show it would be 200% better.
We might not get a good show end and no Winds of Winter but this is a good compensation. Well done!
It has been long enough that I now happily believe this is the actual ending.
I think if we would keep the narrative of Arya killing the night king, we could make the evil three-eyed raven a past disciple of jaqen h'gar who went rogue, like arya. There could be a dialogue with Arya and jaquen in which he speaks of a student from long ago who became obsessed with the many-faced god, and tried to become this persona of death, ergo, he become the three-eyed raven to gain knowledge and becomes the night king to be the closest thing to death. And arya, with the training and bran with the knowledge, can both work hand in hand to defeat the night king
Arya killing the night king will always be stupid
Christ almighty this was miles better than what we got. I’m only halfway through and I’ll sign a petition for you to rewrite seasons 5-8.
The thumbnail killed me
The Skyrim music in the background is nice.
Oh my GOD, I LOVE the idea of Bran fighting the Night King through warging into Jorah!!!! That would've been so so SO cool!!!! Why couldn't you have written the last few seasons? :,) freaking D&D. I know creating something better than them is a lowwww bar but seriously your path for Bran would've been SO much better!! I wouldve been screaming on the edge of my seat!
Yoooo this was fire
I love all of this except the worg into jorah, i think a more appropriate choice would have been beric dondarrion. It fits the red god theme, the death and resurrection theme, the swordsman theme etc. the only issue being beric would need a valyrian steel sword, but that could be setup earlier as well.
Bran’s season 5 arc was truly like none other
Just let Bran warp into D&D's minds and make this canon. We all need this.
I’ve always been into the idea that he is an extension of the Old Gods and must manually control Westeros through the Weirwoods. Maybe after the Battle of Winterfell, he goes to the Isle of Faces to connect to the network/learn the mass-warging power. While this goes on, the Battle of Kings Landing happens. Not only is Bran letting the battle happen, he’s actively working on taking control of the remaining world. It’s pretty sinister and even more devoid of empathy.
What do you think about the idea of keeping the promise made in the S5 Hardhome to show the end of the world? Showing the end of kingslanding and the white walkers expanding would be amazing. We could also watch so impcatants moments like the sea freezen and the Night king going to hug it with a full kingslanding army. The last of humanity getting ready one or two seasons to the final fight while the sea gets freeze for the full arrival of winter, giving time to explore the nature of religion and the lord of fire in the story. I think it will be the best to have a long race between Brand and the night king to achieve their own goals.
Fantastic re-writing!! Going as far as including the fall of Old Valyria - chef’s kiss🤌🏻
this is so interesting.... i see the vision
WB: Season 8 is done, and D and D are busy with other things, they won't be able to talk about or a make a video on how they could of fixed Bran Strak, How can anyone now.
Supercuts Delight: ''Actually Super Easy Barely An Inconvenience'' (Plays this video)
D and D:
Can you imagine the narrative weight of bran being taught (against his will) to lose empathy being shown alongside Arya failing to “””become no one”””. Like genuinely could have been cool
