And the Night King wasn't a disappointment, all he wanted to do was die, and since Bran knows everything, the NK just came by the tree to ask him how. It makes sense, he jumped off his dragon, but that didnt do it, he stood in dragonfire but he still wouldnt die, so he just ran in for help.

I've notice it's a popular things on youtube where you can programing robot voice to read their script. I'm 3 years late, but KZfaq finally decided to recommend me this! Nice breakdown on Daenerys being a tyrant and yet a lot of the viewers still embraced her. Why? Here is my take on Daenerys. She represents certain county which I won't mention. Her goal is to free the slaves and spread freedom. Those with different ideology that goes against her will be sanction, starved and killed. Remember the man who killed Daenerys beloved translator? That's an equivalent of flying planes into the Twin Tower on 9/11. The punishment for going up against Daenerys? 2.4 million dead Iraqi, destroyed infrastructures and stolen oil. Same fate for Afghanistan etc. Remember the people who shot down one of Daenerys dragon? That's an equivalent to killing the settlers. The punishment for going up against Daenerys? Native Americans Indians got hunted till near extinction, lost their language and culture. Now only a few thousand are living on reservations. You get the ideas right? Give this source a visit to see the list of counties who got bombed for 10 years aka dragon fire attacks on cities. Source Davidswanson warlist

He might live a thousand years or just a regular lifespan of a ruler who doesn't lead a life like the worst of the previous kings and queens. It might even be that whomever is chosen to be the king or queen after him has to become the Three Eyed Raven as well which could be very sobering.

Y'know what's weird? Looking back, Gendry also has a claim. He is recognized Bastard, recognized by Daenerys, meaning her supporters recognize him as a Baratheon, and he was also an ally of Jon Snow, and of course the only remaining trueborn son of Robert Baratheon, and he grew up a peasant and became a knight under the Brotherhood Without Banners. Not only is his "story" amazing, he basically has positive affiliation with nearly every major faction. Would Gendry WANT the throne? Probably not, but someone should have at least put his name forward. Also, with the new system, someone is definitely going to lose an election by a razor thin margin, and then either start a civil war because "cheating" or just murder the winner and win the throne in the subsequent election.

Not true at all. We're not talking lineage claim, we're talking claim for who will make the best king. The Lords at that meeting are all honorable people for the most part and want Westeros to prosper. Bran has no negative emotions towards anyone, and he knows all the horrible shit they've done. Emotions are what lead to a bad ruler, knowledge is what leads to a good leader. Tywin says this waaay back to Tommen "What do they all lack" "knowledge". Bran is the king of knowledge, he doesn't even really need advisors for the big things because knows everyone's darkest secrets and motives yet doesn't have a vengeful bone in his body. Bran is the perfect king, even if not most satisfying

They are explicitly saying that Bran is a liar because he kept saying that he had no interest in any kind of power « i cannot be lord of anything », but also a murderer because he let Daenerys kill thousands of innocents in order to claim the throne.

@Google User A dream that has been foreshadowed in the books and in the show since season 3. It's not a a dream it's reallity. Daenerys was allways a conquerer and a dictator, she just liked slaves and fragile people but she was allways authoritarian, you do things in her way or you die. She was also allways entitled, even as a slave she allways demanded to be treated as superior to other people and that everything she wanted should be given to her because she has dragons and because of her genetics (targaryen). She Is literally Stalin in ideology, and her family is constantly compared to Nazis with dragons. Started by wanting to help the poor and weak people and to break the old system and create a new one (break the wheel), ended up a dictator genocide ruler.

@paulogaspar8295 2 жыл бұрын
He has a better story than a lot of character in there. A better story is not political skills. Sansa has good political skills and her story was very boring compared to other people there. In terms of claim to the throne the only people that have claim are Gendry (he is even a worst ruller than bran) and Jon that the hole point is that he doesn't want to rule, and other people don't want him to rule because he killed Daenerys. No one else has good claims. So from political skills would probably Tyrion the most suited but he fucked up a lot and people lost the faith in his skills or Sansa but people don't want to give that much power to her because she can have kids and continue the power being in the starks hands. The better would probably be to just each one rule it's own contry or region, that's what most people there want.

A lot of people probably missed the foreshadowing from book 2, on how the realm would finally be ruled. When Catelyn Stark goes to the meeting of Stannis and Renly, she tries to get them to stop fighting by alling a "Great council" (obviously different from the "Small council" in King's Landing) where all the Lords of Westeros would choose who ruled them collectively. Yet in the story's end that's exactly what happens. They put forth Bran (since this kid literally knows everything in existence past, present and future, who better?) and that's who gets picked. Doesn't seem to me how the likes of Edmure Tully, Bronze Ron Royce and the rest of the lords that are still living, would choose but there it is. When we finally get the release of book 7, which I will eagerly expect around the year 2089 A.D., I bet GRR chooses someone else to rule though.

Yea, and if book ever comes im not sure if I will want to read it. I'm curious for many things that existed only in books but at the same time I think all major characters will finish just like in the show and it kinda ruined my experience.

On the book thats part of Brans climing is so important. He start climing in the tree on the gods woods then go to the roof of the armer and then to the tower. Thats were Arya materialize...but never mention on show.. so you have to guess..they kind a forget

@@nunoRRsantos that's the thing ,Bran ending up as a king is not the problem.. I can totally see Bran learning from his experiences as a greenseer and actually having a part in the story ,which would eventually lead him to be leader for the realm for better or worse (He mentally assaults Hodor,who in books hates being puppet of Bran ), unlike his show counterpart, with no personality other than being creepy and using his omniscience to take a guided nap mid battle and remind people of their most embarrassing or disappointing moment . He could've been a supervillain actually, manipulating the realm to obtain power for his family.

You should consider dubbing an audiobook with your silky smooth voice. Accompanied by visualisations of peoples fan art. I'd watch all 10,000 hours of that spectacle.

The problem with Kingship is, when you have a competent King, with drive and ambition, the realm actually thrives on that ambition and drive, so while Bran would probably make a decent King, in peacetime, temporarily, if he acts as King for too long, the realm/people and their advancement will become stagnant and non-improving. Even if Bran proved to be an amazing King for the good of the realm, his person/method of ruling is not something that can be replicated in the future. Westeros is ruled by Feudalism, the system makes it that the King is really just a Noble of higher standing, even IF the small council is filled with competent people working for the good of the realm, the people outside of King's Landing might think differently, and Bran, with all his magic, might not have the capability to play to game long enough to actually make permanent changes.

This guy is an incredible narrator. He’s got a beautiful voice, he’s clear and interesting in his diction and almost everything he says is dripping in sarcasm (6:55 listen to how he says “a new prince of Dorne). His comedic timing and tone are pinpoint.

There is a theory I like which would let the ending be perfekt. So Bran is dead, his body is alive because it is possesed by the three eyed raven. And there is a hint in the books, that the three eyed raven is actualy a targaryan prince, who was banned centurys ago for trying to take over the throne and was send north as punishment. There he did something with dark magic and became the raven. So after centuries he claims the throne. It would also explain why he is looking for dragon.
@carter9449 Жыл бұрын
Bloodraven actually defended the throne from the people trying to take it over, the Blackfyres (Targaryan bastards legitimized by Aegon IV), he didn't try to take over himself. He was sent north for inviting one of them to a council to decide succession but then killing them upon arrival. This was only like 50 years before the show, because it was when Maester Aemon's little brother that sent him to the wall. The theory still kinda works but the show said the three-eyed raven was 1000s of years old which messes with it
