I dont even know what Bran was doing during the battle. He says to Theon, i am going to go now, but then where did he go?
What was his plan? Why did Theon have to die when he knew Arya would eventually kill the night king? its all so stupid.
I think he basically told them that Bran becomes king, Jon kills Dany after she burns down Kings Landing, Cersei and Jaime die together, Tyrion becomes Hand and Sansa becomes Queen. D&D took all that and did nothing to set up any of these storylines. They had Bran literally missing for an entire fucking season. They kept Jaime on a road to redemption knowing full well he was going to go back to Cersei. They dropped zero hints about Dany eventually going mad, and kept her sane and just through out the seasons always doing the right thing. All to presumably go for shock value trying to recreate the Red Wedding phenomenon.
It's a shame because D&D had nailed so many other amazing moments including the Hodor twist thats not even in the books yet. So they did Hodor justice on their own. Then fumbled everyone else's ending lmao.
I also think they botched the R+L=J reveal. That shouldve been an amazing scene with real consequences. But nah, it was just Sam simply telling Jon and then jon telling his siblings. Like come on, that shouldve been an earth shattering event that comes out in the court at Kings Landing in front of a crowd like the Tyrion trial. Maybe the crowd turns on Dany refusing to accept her as their queen and she goes mad and burns down kings landing.
i dont know. anything but what we ended up getting. Bells. yes, she got mad hearing the bells. Ok.
