I’m convinced bran is blood raven but the show will not set it up correctly. Like even the leak makes sense if that’s what’s happening, but they haven’t built up the 3 eyed raven as a Targaryen bastard in this one

Remember when GRRM begged the showrunners to put the show on hiatus so he could finish the books and let the books catch up? And we all laughed at him?

Turns out he was right, it would have been better to suspend production indefinitely

There are like 300 people working on this show under contract that probably wanted to get on with their lives

Would explain this last season at least

The tournament from S1 that Robert throws is supposed to attract thousands, but it was before they had the budget for cgi crowds, so they stuck like 30 people on a stadium bench and called it a day.

This is the thing I complained about at the time but goddamn I'd rather have this than the horrible cgi armies.

Bloodraven Brynden Rivers the targ bastard who becomes the 3 eyed raven. I’m convinced he is bran, not that bran is “the raven” or whatever. Like it’s straight up him. It would explain why “bran” mentions Daeron’s wheelchair and said “I liked that one”, it would explain why he told Jon his parentage (Brynden was on the side of the legit Targs when the bastard rebellion happened)

He got them to kill the night king for him because for some reason the night king really hates him. Then he’ll get them to kill each other. He was warging right as the night king was next to him and based on the hodor stuff was very possibly changing something in the past to make sure the events play out the way they did

That’s why “bran” ends on the throne. I do actually think the show will gently caress that part up and put him on the throne for totally unrelated reasons like “they forgot about that whole thing”

Or maybe even the show runners think ending the whole series on “it was a time travel paradox” is way too lovely.

Other stuff: the night king is mentioned by old nan as being a Stark, possibly named Bran

bran stark the builder builds the wall to keep out the night king

With all the time travel bullshit bran gets trapped in the past, tries to stop Bloodraven in the future setting events in motion

Just to clarify, are you saying bloodraven is infecting bran like a mind parasite to take over his body with jojen paste or that he’s always been controlling bran bc I just read it as the second and if that’s it I’m gonna need a little more than what you gave me but if it’s the first one yeah reading is hard and I’m bad at it

Brandon Stark was the 13th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. He fell in love w/ a female Other and they ruled from one of the castles along the wall, 'til another Brandon Stark came along and teamed up with the wildlings to get his rear end

e: him being 13th lord commander was why ppl kept theorizing back when the NK was introduced on the show about why does he have exactly 12 walker generals or some poo poo making him the 13th one, it was dumb iirc

e2: he's also called the Night's King in the books and not the Night King but that doesn't matter on a show where they forgot Gendry would be a Waters if he had a last name and not a Rivers, and in fact I believe introduced himself as Gendry Waters to Jon last season lmao

lol that the 40k crossover fanfic some goon wrote ended up having far more satisfying endings to most characters' arcs than the show

Do we even know about Bloodraven in the show? I don't remember him at all. I did read the books but I haven't read them since 8 years ago, so I don't remember a lot of details. Even the stupidest plot points in the show have at least been based around established characters and things in their history and not just "oh you see there was this guy we didn't tell you about ... and it's been him all along!"

Nah we don’t get any information in the show about any of the Blackfyre rebellions. I don’t even remember any allusions to it even occurring at any point. As far as we know the dance of the dragons is the only major targ civil shitfight in the show

e: theres a show wiki entry on it but the only source is S1E6 and a quick ctrl-f of the page doesn't find anything, but I assume its alluded to somewhere in there so it happened but I'm probably not going to rewatch that episode by itself to figure out what we know about it in the show. Bryndyny Rivers has a wiki page with the same episode so I guess he's around as well but you'd have to watch that episode to find out

Oh my god I definitely want some sort of 'actually Bran was taken over by that zombie tree thing from years ago and that is the winner of the game of thrones, the zombie tree thing.' If that's introduced in the last five minutes of the show I'd consider it almost as good as throwing poop at Dany.
