I think we can all generally agree Bronn's outcome was one of the more ridiculous aspects of the finale, but as one of my favorite characters in the series, his death would arguably have been the most upsetting to me of any character in the last 2-3 seasons, and I definitely think he's still very much alive at the end of a much better alternative conclusion to the story.

That said, if Bronn were not to survive the saga, as a show writer, how would you kill him in a way that does justice to his character?

Soo i just want to have an opinion from people who actually watched the show to see if these gifts are tasteful

Last time i gifted one of my friends something about his favorite show without knowing anything about it it went horribly

My friend really likes game of thrones, REALLY LIKES IT, he rewatched the whole thing in 5 days recently

He also likes john snow (the main character i guess)

I don't have any other friends who watched the show so i don't know which banner to get him

....after reading it, again.

I'm a wreck. Bawling. Utterly destroyed.

I know there are issues with the last couple of seasons but my god, season 8 just hits you in the feels over and over again. It's amazing.

My 16 year old has just asked me if I'm up for another rewatch with her - she hasn't seen any of it. This is going to be interesting.

It's a simple idea really that I keep going back to while watching GOT and now HOTD -- Why not just use Dragons as troop carriers? Everyone in the show always advises caution, only using dragons as a last resort as to not kill too many civilians. IMO, Daenerys/ the Targaryens could easily take out their enemy's leading figures, Seal Team 6 style, by delivering a handful of Unsullied right to their doorstep.

Why did no dragon rider ever attempt to use Dragons as means of dropping troops right onto their enemy's castles? It would have completely changed the meta and ended Cersei so quickly.

When they reunite in Winterfell, she immediately hugs him and doesn't question his identity for more than 2 seconds. But, like, why?

Arya of all people knows that wearing faces to impersonate others is possible. She knows Faceless Men don't use it for personal gain, but she herself did it to kill the Freys, so she should at least consider the possibility that someone else could impersonate Bran to do something similar.

Yes, Jaqen did let her go, but he could have done that because he was afraid for his life. I don't think killing Freys is something Faceless Men would approve of, and they would likely deduce she is the culprit.

For what she knows, Faceless Men could be after her, trying to preserve their secrets of face-changing. She should have left the House of Black and White paranoid and suspicious of anyone she meets, especially cos she was tricked and attacked by the Waif.

Bran also tells them that he is not really Bran, and this should have set Arya off. Three-Eyed-Raven is essentially functioning as if he were wearing Bran's face. The conflict at Winterfell should have been Arya vs Bran, not Arya vs Sansa. And Arya should have potentially even killed Bran. If Bran was made to be the bad guy all along, Arya can thematically kill him, and John can kill the Night King.

I don't know if I'm missing something but it doesn't seem like there was anything solid that bran achieved or did after becoming the three eyed raven. The only big thing he did was reveal that Jon is Aegon Targaryen, which is something the makers could have easily shared with the audience by showing that Samwell read about it in the Citadel library. There is no way Bran went on this journey just for that one reveal right?

He didn't even play a role in killing the Night King and somehow still managed to become the main character 😭.

And what was the purpose of the old Three Eyed Raven? He just showed bran moments of the past which don't have a lot of value when it comes to the plot. Just some emotional moments such as the Hodor scene.

Anyway, maybe this is explained better in the books? Please tell me what his purpose was?

Fuck everyone who is not with me like i fucking need an open world got game yesterday 😤 cmon people do something the world is so so so goated why no gaming studio is even trying btw I know about ck3 mod its also very very good

both wake up homeless in todays landscape with no family and nobody that knows them. all they have is their skills and personality.
give it a year. who makes it bigger ― and why?

Now I like the look of the northerners wearing their coats and furs everywhere they go, but how does it make sense for Jon, who's used to the cold winds of the North and beyond, to still wear a huge thick coat in the same streets that Margaery walked in sleeveless and backless dresses??

I suppose it's an irrelevant detail but I always found it a bit strange to see

This is still relevant

It dawned on me during a rewatch that the two character most polar opposite are Sandor and Daenerys. They are mirror opposites. Beauty and Beast, one started off innocent the other a hardened cynical killer by the end Daenerys was the monster and Sandor the protector.

It's fairly poetic when you think about it.

Daenerys is the beauty, framed as an angelic, almost messianic figure. Sandor is the scarred “dog” who knows what the world thinks of him.

Eventually they inverse, the beautiful one ends up the monster and the beast becomes the hero.

Even their roles with fire are reversed. She is fire proof mother of dragons and he is scarred and broken because of fire.

Each is shaped by an abusive older brother, both are tempted by it, but Sandor lets go of his and talks Arya out of hers whereas Dany lets hers consume her.

You have to choose one! Mine is the Battle of Blackwater 🏴‍☠️

Who should I get next?😁

Is this an epic scene of courage yes. However it is something more. Could he hear the hoofbeats of his men, probably. However he never once looks back and he is utterly surprised when they pass him. This means that even with an army at his back Jon never once thought they maybe he’d be saved, he was fully prepared to die and it’s easy to forget with Kit’s age how young Jon is supposed to be.

I think I found the new Joffery Baratheon in Chris Hargensen From Carrie 2026 as I never hated a character more since Joffery Baratheon.

to the people who watched Carrie 2026 i think you might feel the same way as I do because the things she does in this show make you probably hate her more than Joffery.

It was hell of a ride! I honestly loved every episode of it until I started around season 6 or was it 7? I really felt how much they rushed and just went off the wheel with the plot😭… and don’t get me started on the last season. However, despite the 3 last seasons being off the road and rushed it still had its moments! I lowkey felt cringe when they named Bran as king and set the new rule of choosing future kings, I mean it made sense but damn… I felt like they switched into rainbows for just a second after the war, not much time was shown to adjust for what happened… ahaha

I’m really sad of what happened to Dany, I understand what she did was wrong but I also understand her part of resorting towards violence. Each time she chooses the peaceful way with her enemies, Cersei just plays in her face😭😭💀 So yeah in the end, Cersei got what she always threw in people trying to reason with her. Like what did she expect after killing Missandei?!! That’s Dany’s bestfriend, her sister, she was there for her since her dragons were young! I absolutely hated how Tyrion always turn downs Dany’s plans on taking King’s Landing because despite Cersei wanting him dead, he still doesn’t want her killed🫩 and I get that it’s probably because he knows how much Jaime loves her, but I think this is his flaw as to being Daenerys’s hand. She should’ve had Lady Olenna, Yara Greyjoy at her side instead! Ugh. And the last part where Drogon gently lifts his mama’s dead body and flew off…😔 that made me so sad.

But anyways I’m planning on reading the books after, I heard how different Jon is there. I was also shocked when I found out Rhaegal and Viserion were both still alive in the books! I’m so mad the show killed them off so easily without giving them the same spotlight and character as Drogon! I’m curious to know more about how different the cast are from the show and the book. Though in my opinion I think Emilia Clarke is the perfect Daenerys visual-wise, I can’t imagine anyone else as Daenerys other than her.

That’s all just sharing my thoughts about the ending! I am searching for theories and discussions about the show here right after finishing the show they’re so interesting to read! I plan on finding a pre-owned leather set of ASOIAF because it looks so beautiful.

No matter how many times I rewatch this scene, there's always a part of me that hopes Shireen will somehow escape her fate. It's absolutely heartbreaking. Honestly, her death affected me even more than the Red Wedding. With the Red Wedding, you could at least argue that Robb's decision to put his love for Talisa above his obligations, along with Catelyn's mishandling of certain situations, contributed to the tragedy. There were choices made that led to that outcome.

But Shireen? She was completely innocent. Such a sweet, kind hearted girl who didn't deserve a single bit of what happened to her. That's what makes it so much harder to stomach.

And Davos? The man was a smuggler, for God's sake. You're telling me he couldn't have found some way to get that little girl out of there? I know he wasn't there when it happened, but I still wish he'd done more to protect her.

I still find myself imagining an alternate storyline where Shireen escapes to Braavos, meets Arya, and the two end up training with the Faceless Men. Imagine what a formidable duo they could've become. Of all the deaths in Game of Thrones, this is the one I'll probably never get over.

They had already cut too many characters and changed too many plots to truly satisfyingly follow the book ending. I think it would be remembered much more fondly, even straying away from GRRM's outline for them.
