Can someone remind me why Arya left bravos, she just didn't want to kill targets she was obligated to kill? Also it looks like the dothraki are literally forgotten about

There are at least 3 sequel hooks there.mastershakeman posted:Can someone remind me why Arya left bravos, she just didn't want to kill targets she was obligated to kill? They go to Essos to "liberate" the free cities. Arya going west is probably a GRRM thing because it D&D will reveal that Jon stabbing Dany is the third holy poo poo moment.

Arya wouldn't kill the actress she was supposed to kill, instead outing the person who had contracted the kill. Then the Faceless Men training her tried to kill her. Also they'll just say "uh the rest of the dothraki that came out of nowhere died while pillaging"

I mean King Bran kind of tracks because he's like the only character nobody in the cast has beef with. He's kind of boring but he's also never committed war crimes, never murdered anyone's family members, and... the literal only "bad" thing he's ever done was a pure accident in a desperate situation, and also part of a predetermined stable time loop Like the basis of my prediction was basically "Tyrion and Bran are the only characters nobody really hates in-universe." Jon is a problem for multiple reasons, Sansa doesn't want it, Queen Arya makes no sense, King Grey Worm makes even less sense than that... out of the surviving characters who matter enough to even be realistic for this, that leaves Tyrion and Bran.

Like outside of them we'd be getting into comedy options like Queen Brienne or King Gendry or King Samwell And those would be loving hilarious but I guarantee you they were never even considered

He never even became a Maester and there's no way he's getting a chain after the poo poo he pulled. Seeing as Jon didn't end up becoming king, it wasn't important in the end to tell him about his lineage. It didn't matter. Had he just been Ned Stark's bastard, everything would have been the same except maybe Varys is still alive.

Gendry being king would 100% make sense and even brings the story of the iron throne full circle: it started out with Robert Baratheon's rule but after years of civil war over a succession crisis you just end up with his illegitimate son on the throne: which kinda fullfill ned's original mission in a way

I mean I get that from a Watsonian perspective, there's not really any reason any of the people I mentioned wouldn't win that vote (everyone likes all three of those characters) From a Doyleist perspective, though, none of them are main cast so it was never, ever going to happen Out of the people who can reasonably be called main characters and not side characters, Tyrion and Bran are basically the only reasonable-ish options, so... yeah, even though I figured it'd be the other way around with King Tyrion and Hand Bran, King Bran and Hand Tyrion tracks too

Nail Rat posted:King Gendry Baratheon wouldn't have been bad either. I mean it doesn't make sense but neither does King Bran. Sansa would be my favorite from an overall arc perspective. It makes total sense—start out the most naive little girl in all the land, wind up as a hardened queen. Tyrion it would make sense for, too—start out mocked and loathed by everyone, wind up as savior and king of all the haters. Hell, do both and have them get remarried, this time as an alliance of the two warring families that started the whole thing, this time by choice and for the good of the kingdom. Bran? Let's see now. Start out a little boy who loves to climb, become an ancient wizard, wind up... uh... deferring to Tyrion and staring off into space a lot? That's just good storytelling!

Sansa doesn't make sense from story perspective because 1) she's clearly a northern separatist 2) she has 0 claim on the throne though in reality you would marry sansa to gendry (or jon snow if he's king) to personal union the 2 kingdoms
