Sir Hedge of Hog Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 yes it is such an opportunity - imagine the gasps/shock when we see dany was being controlled when she dealt fire and blood...it such an opportunity and I pray to the old gods and the new, they take it with both hands...

Apart from that I can see that Bran had some things to do with recent events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatty83 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I fully don't expect anymore closure on Brans story, he might feature on Sunday but I doubt theres any revelations or character development now. His sole purpose was the Others and that story had no real culmination and thus Brans doesn't really. Its been an utter hash but they could have done this whole story without the others or Bran and it wouldn't have really made any difference. Sam would have read about Jons lineage and apparently Night Kings purpose was to kill Bran, Brans purpose was to stop the Night King and thus they balance each other out in a pointless story that started and ended up going nowhere.

Sir Hedge of Hog Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 that's my enthusiasm dracarysed lol is it also worth considering that GRRM did not want bran revealed as the great other in the show as that would spoil the books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this is the WTF - the 3rd twist. also consider that the NK had the symbol of the 7 in his eyes in the promos - everything is connected what connects everything? = WEIRWOOD net - 3ER. SO BRAN COULD THE VOICE IN THE FLAMES/LORD OF LIGHT ETC - More ways of killing humanity. This may be too much for the show, but I hope bran is the great other and jon will slay him as per the prophecies...the isle of faces is in the intro...I hope this has something to do with it, it is also possible bran is mind controlling others - jon and his poor emotional connection with dany AND he warged dany or drogon to burn KL...

I would also add that the Cotf tried initially with aerys, the mad king, to 'burn them all' - remember the flashbacks? ned hearing bran at the tower of joy hearing bran? I just hope that this theory is proven correct as this will make sense of a lot of things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY? to break the wheel? No for the Cotf to wreak vengeance on mankind to control the population so they would not die out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible yes, but I don't think wanted the king to burn them all, I more lean to that was just a madness from the king himself. I read a theory that the blood raven tried to warn about the White Walkers - who are the weapon of mass destruction the CotF created - but that just made the king even more crazy and paranoid. My theory is that to break the wheel and save Westeros, one has to first destroy the weapon of mass destruction that the CotF created. Here they represent ice / WW. I am not to sure that Arya will destroy the Others in the book. Secondly you need to destroy the seat of power in Westeros - KL which keep the land always under tyranny. This was used by using the force of pure destruction. Here represented by fire / Dany and Dragons. Now destruction will be ended by balance - Jon who is a Stark / Targaryen. Hence, he will have to kill Dany. When this is done - a new beginning can emerge. Jon will probably chose to be nothing of either Stark or Targaryen and go on his own when this is done. A council with a "leader" will rule Westeros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kissdbyfire Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 The show never developed Bran properly, same as it never “went there” w/ Jon and Arya’s skinchaning powers. All we got were a couple of scenes early on (s2?) w/ Bran warging Summer, then later he skinchanged Hodor which is a big twist, so of course they’d show that. But all the magic aspects have been pretty much erased from the story, and especially anything connected to the Old Gods, skinchanging, etc. That’s why they left Bran out for a whole year, they simply don’t know what to do w/ him or w/ this aspect of the story. So yeah, they turned Bran into an infodump robot that they can use when convenient, when the plot demands, and otherwise they just leave him there as set decoration and the “explanation” is, he doesn’t want anything anymore, he doesn’t feel anything anymore and lives mostly in the past. It’s just D&D’s typical lazy incompetent writing and utter inability to handle characters and plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To keep you in the dark. Just as religion works in real life. It's a tool George uses to make it more interesting and it does. That's why the maesters exist, they are science and on a quest to eliminate all that nonsense in the end. Also it's fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
