People say all the time that a show ( or a movie or a song) is good or bad. Game of thrones had a lot of people say that it is the best show ever for 7 seasons and people didnt say that because their favs were wining, but when their favs were dying. Now, a large majority of these people, say it is bad. Their opinions have the same value as when they said it is the best show ever and you need to learn to accept other people opinions. You are fine to like this season, but dont assume why people criticize a show and dont generalize all the criticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hoped for this twist, but apparently the leaks dont confirm it. Why would Bran need to stop Dany? Bran's war was with the Night King ad him alone. Bran doesn't give a flying f*ck about who sits on the Iron Throne providing the Long Night is avoided. For Bran there is no difference between Cersei or Daenerys. The deaths of all those people in King's Landing are nothing compared to the wiping out of all the westerosi population which would've happened had the Night King prevailed. It is also unlikely that Bran sees Daenerys as an existential threat to Westeros. There are no more claimants to the throne except for Jon, and it's hard to imagine she'd use her dragon to conduct mass executions outside king's landing providing everybody bends the knee.

Then Bran deserves all the hate. Useless until the end. I get your points, but to have all that power and knowledge and do nothing with it, even if it is only sharing at least a backstory of the Night King, is bad writing. People want this character to do something with this power. We saw all his journey to get this power. We need to see him use it, like we saw Aria and Sansa abilities in play after they got them.

However, we have only seen Bran warg into crows and do nothing at all. If anything he probably warned Tyrion that Dany would go mad, which is why Tyrion did everything he could to prevent the bloodshed. "If you hear the bells, call of the attack." ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
