Wargworld

 

I’ve explained why I thought Dany’s turn made sense to a certain extent, but I always thought in the end that it would be handled in a much different way. I thought her arc would be more similar to Darth Vader’s (hero turned villain but ending with redemption) or that her burning people would continue on the path of being morally ambiguous.

It’s not a plot hole or anything and it was obviously foreshadowed but it was a very strange choice to have her completely flip to being the target of fan hatred within the last TWO episodes. Like no ambiguity at all. 100% going out as a villain.

 

I refuse to believe for one single second you watched this show for eight seasons and didn't see that coming to the point of already making peace with it.

 

Long live House Seaworth and its bloomin onion

 

And it's literally just Bran warging into Drogon and flying to Jon to prank him.

 

Worse than Bambi

 

Better than what Westworld became, tbh

 

In a way, they really fucked their kids future by choosing Bran. He lives another 50-100 years or whatever, and then he dies and there’s obviously no heir to the thrown. By then everyone is ready to fight again and doesn’t give a shit what their boring ass ancestors did and everyone wants to be king again and the same shit repeats itself when we had like 9 people calling themselves king in season 2 / A Clash of Kings.

 

Two things I would have added:

Bran insisting he isn't Bran "the Broken" - he could have been like, what about Bran the Badass or Bran the Bitchin... Guys?

Also,

Baby Night King to end the episode

 

In the end, George is a student of history and, well, what could be a more accurate depiction of world history than this.

 

Yeah my gf and I thought bran the broken was pretty f'd up

 

The most bold move in Tyrion's life is giving someone ultimate power while on death row and then making fun of him for being handicapped.

 

So what was Bran doing when he warg’ed into the ravens or whatever while waiting for the Night King?

 

murdering

 

Everyone meeting to decide who to make king:

 

Figuring out what his next wheelchair would be

 

i'm sorry, i won that joke with bird humor. it is now closed for any further submissions

 

So dumb that they never explained more about this or the three eyed raven in general

 

Bird humor...?

Enlighten me.

 

Yeah, for real. I know all the different reasons and explanations for what he did as the 3ER and the Night King, blah blah blah. But all of that isn’t anywhere near satisfying enough for the amount of intrigue the show built up from scene one episode one.

 

Sam: Hey let's make a democracy. Maybe let the people decide who should lead them?

America in 2019:

 

Well, this took a tern.

 

The Dany and Jon scene was my favorite. Seeing Dany's excitement and her willingness to trust Jon made me still somehow feel bad for her in the moment even though she just burned a city to the ground. Also felt for Jon having to be the one to kill her.

I also like Drogon just kind of raging about the situation and burning down the throne instead of killing Jon. I believe it's been said in the story at some point that dragons are smarter than humans, so if that's true it would make sense that he on some level understands that Jon isn't to blame so much as Dany's decisions and the obsession with getting to sit on that throne.
