Anonymous I really, really, wanted the Night King and Bran to talk. Or have some final interaction. |

So, I guess Cersei is the final boss then. All that build up to the supernatural stuff and it ended up not mattering that much in the end. |

Yall liked Arya too much and look what happened! |

Fuck marching everyone down to fight Cersei, just let Arya do it herself real quick |

/u/manchegan WHAT WAS BRAN DOING? JUST BEING RAVENS? |

/u/bryanvb There are a few options here:
I'm sort of leaning towards option 2 right now because I was pretty disappointed that nothing interesting about the Night King was revealed before he died. I thought maybe he was a historic figure with an interesting purpose instead of some sort of ice Terminator that is just designed to kill people and especially Bran. |

/u/Guyupnorth I think he was watching the battle and figuring out the final move. It took until right before he told Theon that he?s a good man. Then he knew telling him that would give Arya time to sneak through. |

/u/Hekili808 I would've appreciated if Bran at least gathered a huge fucking murder of crows to swoop in and just annoy and distract to help Arya get her big moment. Instead he just fucking played on Twitter. |

/u/Ryuzakku Okay hold-up, how the fuck did the preview show so many surviving Northeners? Where the fuck were they hiding? ESPECIALLY the Unsullied! |

/u/totallynotliamneeson They were on the other side of the castle. After the battle is over: "Where the fuck were you guys?!" "Oh shit that thing with the Night King was today?" "Coming from the North? I thought you said Sorth." |

Much as I admire Tolkien, and I do admire Tolkien ? he?s been a huge influence on me, and his Lord of the Rings is the mountain that leans over every other fantasy written since and shaped all of modern fantasy ? there are things about it, the whole concept of the Dark Lord, and good guys battling bad guys, Good versus Evil, while brilliantly handled in Tolkien, in the hands of many Tolkien successors, it has become kind of a cartoon. We don?t need any more Dark Lords, we don?t need any more, ?Here are the good guys, they?re in white, there are the bad guys, they?re in black. And also, they?re really ugly, the bad guys. |

You either die a well-written villain, or live long enough to become a trope-filled hero. |
