Perhaps he was trying to deter anyone from knowing his fate. If Dany found out that Bran's fate was to be king, she wouldn't have come to winterfell's aid. Cersei probably would have tried to assassinate him. The northerners may have been divided between who ought to rule the north (Jon or the last legitimate son of Ned Stark). Keeping the whole thing a secret was absolutely the right move.

@@Velvet.323 Because a lot of those hints were things the character themselves said (or even noticeably didn't say). Take Dany for example. She makes various vainglorious statements but is unable to properly clarify how she wished to both be an absolute monarch and to 'break the wheel'. If a person says that I will 'burn cities to the ground', lashes out whenever things don't go her way, and only stops herself because people she likes urge her not to do something stupid, I'd say there is a solid chance they will burn a city to the ground if enough things go wrong and not enough friends are left to stop it.

For me it actually makes sense. I was pissed off at first on the injustice to Jon, he was king of the kings. But this is not about being a king it is about the future of humanity. Bran knew all along the sequence of the events thats gonna pan over including the ending of the Night King and, Danerys slaughter of kings landing but he allowed it to happen cos he knew by process of elimination he would be king of the all by destiny. He became king not to use the powers like the others but to give the power back to people like we saw in the last episode it is Tyrion and the Council who actually ran the kingdoms, he was just a ceremonial king, plus the agreement any King from now on would be voted, this was the start of democracy and the end of the house anarchy and dictatorship.

And that only worked for me because I knew (and we all should have known!) that ALL of these characters are based on 'Historical' figures in England. Sansa, reportedly, was based on Queen Elizabeth I of England. So I always knew there was a strong possibility that she would end up QUEEN OF SOMETHING, (I'm a grown woman so I allowed they could have NOT followed History. It's called: CREATIVE LICENSE people!) (I personally hoped it she would not be 'QUEEN' of the 7 Kingdoms because I never liked the character!) The problem was in the end we weren't 'BROUGHT ALONG' enough to have felt... "Oh okay, that makes sense." No matter which story lines you personally felt this about, everyone in the end agrees overall it FELT RUSHED!

This is like searching the solution after knowing the answer

Yea...no. Robert: "Where are the commoners Ned?" Ned: "We don't see kings in the North very often." Robert: "Likely they're buried under the snow! Snow, Ned!" - A Game of Thrones "King," croaked the raven. The bird flapped across the air to land on Mormont's shoulder. "King," it said again, strutting back and forth. "He likes that word," Jon said, smiling. "An easy word to say. An easy word to like." "King," the bird said again. "I think he means for you to have a crown, my lord." "The realm has three kings already, and that's two too many for my liking." Mormont stroked the raven under the beak with his finger, but all the while his eyes never left Jon Snow. - A Clash of Kings So, yea, there is more foreshadowing of Jon being King than Bran....and those are only 2 moments...

That's foreshadowing Jon Snow is the rightful king NOT that he'll become king. Bran will still likely become king because he has the first point of view chapter and probably have the last.

Oh sure - everybody is smart after the last episode. You can find 10 clues for anybody becoming a king of the iron throne.

The only possible way it makes any remote sense to make Bran the King of the Six Kingdoms, considering all the other events that occurred in the last season, is if the GoT universe is planning on some kind of sequel in which Bran becomes a villainous king. I mean, how can a Three-Eyed Raven ever be a good king? Philosophically, Bran would never have the true interest of the people in mind; he will always fulfill what his visions show, regardless if it is good or bad for the people. He can apparently look into the future, but as far as we know, he cannot alter it, or has been unwilling to do anything to change it (or else he would have done more in the Battle of Winterfell). If we look more closely into the events that occurred in the season finale, it only becomes that more necessary to make Bran a new villain to come. He is the one who initiated the downfall of Danaerys, using Jon Snow’s true identity to create doubt and uncertainty within herself to be considered the rightful heir to the throne. He has no problem sending Jon Snow to the Night’s Watch, even though there’s literally nothing to guard anymore (no white walkers, and the relationship with the Wildlings for the most part have reached a point of mutual respect); having Jon out of the way from possibly threatening his rule is in Bran’s best interest. I mean, everyone just completely forgot Jon’s true identity and claim to the throne. How convenient, right? And then Bran doesn’t hesistate to give Sansa Winterfell and allow it to become a separate kingdom. While it sounds like a gracious thing to do, in this narrative Bran allows that to happen so that Sansa and Winterfell would never be able to pose a threat to Bran’s rule over the other kingdoms. If she ever does, Bran has all the other kingdoms to fight for him. Literally Bran becoming King makes zero sense, and there was no foreshadowing of events. The only way for this to make any sense in the grand scheme of things is if there are plans to continue to GoT story and make Bran a villain.

Isn't there a huge difference between "seeing" Littlefingers schemes (which actually happened) and "seeing" Daenerys destruction of Kingslanding, which was - at that point - nothing more than a vision? Didn't Brans role (telling Jon about his heritage in a quite untimely moment only houers before the army of the dead arriving) actually lead to Daenerys loosing trust and finally becoming mad? Bran learned in a powerful way, that interfering with the time can fix someones destiny quite tragically (Hodor) so he must have been aware, that "warning" Tyrion or someone else about Daenerys burning of Kingslanding could actually cause it to really happen. Kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy... That wouldn't make Bran a kind nor wise ruler, but he'd be guilty of manipulating fates and lives of others, maybe even to the rightful heirs of the Iron Throne by missusing his powers. So GoT's ending leaves us - among other things - with the unpleasant feeling of the possibility that nothing is as it seems and the foul taste that we may all have been deceived. Or not. Or yes. That's not bitter sweet. That's more in the direction of disturbing. It's the problem of bad storytelling.

He’s not Bran ,Bran died in the cave He’s The Three Eyed Raven .

I also wanted to say the thing with the poster, but I don't think, the writers planned this ending, I guess when they would had known it since the beginning, then they wouldnt have ignored Bran for a hole season, and they would have made him to a more important character.

I think now (based upon other peoples' theories that I think are correct), that the Night King wanted Bran dead so badly because he knew that the Children of the Forest had Bran as a part of their hive mind. He wanted Bran dead because he wanted to stop the plan of the Children and because he alone could sense their presence within Bran.

It hinted enough but not too much that it was obvious so that it would be unexpected. Now that you pointed out i agree i think Bran did tell Tyrion about what Dany is capable of like he told Arya and SAnsa. That’s why he was so sure the city will burn and trying to save Jamie and Cersei also he begged Dany to stop if she heard the bell. Also, they kept showing scene with bran starring at Tyrion.

The problem is that it felt rushed, and not the ending itself.

‘Bran’ is not the king tho, the three eyed raven is

I miss non 3-eyed-raven Bran.

Yes like wth.

**Character does something unexpected** *Greedy KZread channels*: Here is how it was foreshadowed all along

It's so aggravating seeing Jon have the best claim to the throne be the most worthy and make the ultimate sacrifice that only he could make only the end up thrown under the bus for doing what needed to be done and punished while everyone else benefits from his sacrifice.

Insider:-*Shows Bran is the king in 5 seconds of the video starts* 10 seconds later *Spoilers are coming*

A madman sees what he sees. Brans first costume in the first episode kind of looks like a straitjacket. And any person that assumes he is the living embodiment of all history is insane, what's the point of the Citadel and the Masters. And everyone accepting Brans word as fact is also insane. Plus, the series starts with a mad king having already killed a Brandon stark, Jamie Lannister kills the mad king, Jamie Lannister tries to kill a new Brandon Stark, Jamie Lannister dies, Brandon Stark becomes the new mad king. Its the mind of mental illness come full circle. Brandon stark, the mad king, jamie Lannister are all the same person, and they are all insane. Both the show and the books repeatedly mention madness with all three characters. I wouldn't be surprised if everything, everywhere is actually happening in Brans mind. But that doesn't leave a lot of room for prequels and spin offs, so we may never know.

Wonderful video. Yes, I fully agree with its content. The NK going after Bran, not Jon or Dany, is a very significant insight into Bran's future as king. As to statements from Bran that appear contradictory, the Three-Eyed Raven does not speak in plain language. His words have a deeper level meaning. Thinking and intelligent fans should know and appreciate this.

Bran will be king in the books. There was an interview with the actor who plays Bran who said that GRRM told D&D that Bran will be king

Let's be honest, Tyrion may not be king, but he is the true RULER of the 6 kingdoms. Bran just kicks it in screen saver mode while Tyrion makes all the decisions. That's good enough for me.

I think Jojen Reed saw Bran's future and commented on Bran's future in S4 during their journey North

Now i just think you guys are fishing for any detail about bran and are stretching it too far. A good story is not only about subverting expectations, it has proper build up and execution too. Bran being king has neither throughout the show

Bran being king basically ties together all his visions. Throughout season 7 and 8 Bran does a number of things that essentially lead him directly to the throne, and he does these actions because of the impressions of the future we saw along with him. The show's error was simply treating this as a good ending when it is an ambiguous one.

@@mooki6580 Gave Arya the dagger and ensured that she stayed in Winterfell by outing Littlefinger. Indeed, his reluctance to reveal that information until things were tense between Arya and Sansa had the consequence of uniting the Stark sisters through a common enemy. Had Arya not felt guilty, she may have left Winterfell prematurely. Furthermore, and this is real tinfoil hat 8D chess, but Arya siding with Sansa out of guilt helped Jon feel guilty about not telling his sisters he is Aegon Targaryen. When he told them that, things really went to shit.

They made Bran the king thinking we as viewers would be surprised but the decision made no sense, he was the three eyed raven and was supposed to be the memory of the realm. They gave him time travelling powers and did not use it in the series. The only way bran could be king was if he had planned everything from the start or if he had somehow played a major role in the war.

Foreshadowing means nothing without a proper build up and execution. Jaime was foreshadowed to be king in Book 1 because that's what GRRM's initial plans were. But then he decided to abandon that idea in favour of Cersei becoming Queen and had Jaime take a different path.

Three words: Hold the Door Thst moment alone shows (so long as he is aware of it) nothing that went "wrong" could have if Bran had this power unless he wilfully neglected or directly engineered it to happen. That he directly benefitted from it all is what sells it. He has all the power in the world to put himself on the Iron Throne and does.

It's not bran, it's *Blood Raven* inside bran. He wanted the throne all along, that's why he reveals jon parentage through sam by telling "now is the time". He waited for the right moment. He could see the future on what will happen if he reveals the truth. It's lead to affect jon & deanerys relationship, daenerys become mad queen, kings landing burning & deanerys death. So he done all the things to become the king.

Finally a video with some sense! I’m sorry for those that just can’t except how it turned out. However one of the biggest draws of the show, was it hidden meanings and surprises! If it would’ve ended the way some are crying it should have, it would have been predictable and unworthy of the great show it was!

Gtfo. Season 8 ruined g.o.t.

I feel like Bran being King COULD’VE been good if it had been done better. Or at least, don’t give all the other characters more reason to end up on the throne. Why make Jon a Targaryen, the rightful heir to the iron throne, if he doesn’t even end up on the throne? Why do 8 full seasons of Dany conquering and getting to the point where she sits on the throne if she doesn’t even get the chance to sit on it before Jon kills her? There’s a lot of examples of David and Dan setting up many reasons why certain characters could become the ruler. I’m not saying they didn’t do any for Bran, but they did way more for almost ALL of the other major characters. And the thing that pissed me off the most was “Who has a better story than Bran?” Look, Tyrion, u used to be smart but sorry literally EVERYONE has a better story than bran: Jon, Sansa, Arya, Dany, Gendry, the list is endless.

It's easy to find and interpret things that seem to foreshadow the outcome in earlier episodes, once you know how the story ends. Given the fact that only the first five (?) seasons are based on the books, it's far more plausible that D&D only planned & wrote the ending from season 6 onwards...

I know this comment is 2 years old but whatever. It's confirmed that George R R Martin told the writers 3 important moments: Hodor's origin Shireen getting burned to death Bran becoming King So the Writers didn't even bother explaining these plot points, they just made the characters do certain things so that the story followed these plot points. Bran will absolutely 100 % percent be King in the books, but it will be different, because in the books there is no "Three Eyed Raven" and so Bran will remain Bran. The story started with him, and it'll end with him too.

@@1594matt Thanks! I suppose that Bran won't be King in a formal sense, but rather some sort of prophet for the Old Gods, kind of like Melissandre, and his powers will be used to end the Long Night, thus gaining everyone's respect. The story has a legendary figure known as the "Grenseer King", who has the power to get visions and information regarding the past, present and future, being a Greenseer is the closest thing in the books to a Three Eyed Raven. Bran will probably be a figure head, and the one ruling politically will be Tyrion as hand of the King. It's also foreshadowed that Bran will bring back the summer using his magic, thus the title of the last book "A Dream of Spring". The final scene has also been theorized to be a reversal of the first scene, with Eddard Stark beheading a Night's Watch deserter and telling Bran: "the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. You must look at a man in the eyes and, if you cannot dare to do it, maybe that man does not deserve to die" So Bran will have to look at Jon in the eyes, remember his whole life, and conclude that he can't bring himself to kill his own half-brother, and so he proclaims that he will be merciful, and sends Jon beyond the seven kingdoms, were the Wall used to be. In that way, George will close the story in a full circle, alluding to very first scene which he said, predicted that last scene of the Books.

The amount of extra character depth & background detail that's provided within those pages is just phenomenal, and I absolutely love the theory of how the story ends. Thank you so much for this. Like millions of others, I was drawn into Game of Thrones, and became deeply immersed in the captivating storylines. But as we reached the final few seasons, the change of pace & questionable plotlines created irreparable damage, and it just felt rushed towards the end, and it was really sad to see it go downhill like that.

It was unexpected but totally makes sense, they needed a neutral king and he is the most neutral of all the contenders, Jon clearly was not interested and would have made a bitter king and Dany showed more and more of the Targaryen madness, focusing more and more on her revenge and greed, so Bran made is perfect choice

They did not actually develop the characters properly within their timelines, meaning improper character development.

The Three Eyed Raven as ruler as Westeros would've worked if it was fleshed out more in the tv show. Same goes with Arya killing the NK.

the *KING* slayer connection is such a reeeeeaaaacccch the best example is the first chapter of the book imo. ive been hoping for this for 2 decades

I wish this season had the full 8 episodes of dany ruling on the second half and people realizing she isn’t the queen they thought she would be. Then we could’ve had 5 episodes of season 9 were we see the endings of each character and season 8 ends with Dany’s death

The second vision of the house of undying showed Dany a feast full of dead people and a man with wolf's head sitting on a throne. It can be very much the foreshadowing of the red wedding but after season 8, it gave me a different view. I wonder if it's indeed a foreshadowing of Bran being the future king. The feast could very well be just Westeros where a lot of people died due to many reasons and Bran became king after that. Many people did die.

And Meera's just sitting in Greywater Watch thinking "I schlepped his ass all of the way north, then back south again. I saved his life, sat in a boring ass cave for 2 years, my brother died trying to help him, and he can't even properly say goodbye or give me a seat on the small council? You suck, Bran!"

Tyrion and bran relationship? They saw eachother in season 1 and season 8 and didnt talk that much, I dont think that counts as a relationship

So so good. Well done guys

In watching the series again, it’s clear that Bran was hiding in plain sight all along. I saw the foreshadowing as well, and not just in the examples of the video. Great stuff. Student of history should appreciate the archetype of a philosopher-king.

Ha! The one with a good story should be king??! Bran was missing for almost 2 seasons? So off screen is where he does best! Good one!

To good enough. Most of the writers of the show surely didn’t know from season 1 that Bran would sit on the iron throne. The kid literally disappears for an entire season, comes back and we have to be like “oh yeah, that guy definitely deserves to Ben king now.” I’d rather have Edmure Tully sit on the throne, just to show properly how big of joke the throne has been made out to be.

Bran definitely has a blood claim to the throne. I’m not sure why so many people overlook this.

They didn't know Bran was going to be king. Why would they exclude him from a whole season ?

What about the fact that he shared a historical name with Bran the builder and Bran the breaker.

Varys’ discussion with Oberyn in Season 4 about desire destroying people also fits since Bran has no desire.

Short answer; They didn’t

* Six Kingdoms!

Bran learning sigil scene, Bran talking to old Nan, all the things that happened to Bran from both his parents leaving abruptly and eventually never returning, losing his legs, his dreams to be a soldier, and his brother Rob. In the beginning Bran lost everything that was important to him besides Jon, Arya, Sansa, and Tyrion(he loved Tyrion and connected with him) because of a fight over some Iron Throne and in the end... everyone who was playing the game of thrones died, other than Bran, and he was left with Jon, Arya, Sansa, and Tyrion...revenge at best, evil at worst, but, absolutely foreshadowed. Most of this was all season one.He would experienced internally the Star Wars path to the dark side with continuing clues in subsequent seasons, but all you need is season, or even better book 1. To me the most important questions of the series; 1-did bran develop his powers sooner than he let on? 2-is Brans body his own, or is it under control by another entity such as (Brynden Rivers previous 3ER) 3-Is brans warging ability increased in humans that are comprised in some way whether it’s emotionally or physically...CRIPPLES, BASTURDS, and BROKEN THINGS.? 4-Is Tyrion a Targaryen? 5-Does Tyrion have an warging powers? Subconscious or actualized... 6-Did Bran have anything to do with Tyrion delivering the saddle...and I mean in a warming or planting the idea into Tyrion’s head...

Good argument. I like that everyone got some version of what they wanted in Season 1. Tyrion got his Dad's job, Sansa got to be a Queen, Arya got a life of adventure, Bran got to be important, Brianne got to be a knight, Bron got a future off the battlefield, Varys got a government that was thinking seriously about justice and improving the life of the common people, the Unsullied got a home, Jon got the life he wanted in the Knightswatch, and Danearys got to ascend the Iron Throne and break the Wheel. Not bad.

Ever since Season 1, I believed Bran would be a good leader. He made sensible decisions when he was Lord of Winterfell; so even before becoming the three-eyed raven, he already has potential for leadership. It's just saddening that his pivotal role as a character was always overshadowed and his distinctive and strong character was not always shown. He is wiser beyond his years. He was a critical thinker even when he was just 10. It was mentioned in Season 1 by Maester Luwin when he said to Bran, "Sometimes, I worry you are too smart for your own good." So you can say all you want but I think Bran would make a good king for me. Ned and Catelyn would've been proud too.

The whole knight king and three eyed raven part of the lore shouldve been way more on the fore ground. In the last episode they made it seem like the entire show revolves around it... which it does. But why spend so little time on elaborating it then.

When varys says, A good ruler would be one who does not want the throne. In this case Jon is the only person (the others i.e., Arya and Tyrion to some extent are not interested in ruling ) who never wanted the throne, so he was the only suitable candidate for the throne. As far as bran, he is not bran he is 3ER. So 3ER is the real ruler who always wanted the throne and got it.

Bran : I shall use the Night King , 3 dragons, few kings and queens and dothrakis and unsullied and scorpions and Theon Greyjoy in my strategy ….

The thing that really bothers me is that Bran knew he was going to be king just as he knew Arya will kill the NK. So that means he let all that destruction happen. That shows malicious intent on his part even if he is the most competent King we can imagine.

The girl who got a Greyscale on her Face, had a Vision of Summer and Sang about Summer. Hehehe

Bran allowed Dany to kill the innocent,if indeed knew about Dany's mental illness. "I read it in a book" Sam couldn't find a cure for Dany? Tyrion and Varys never thought of finding the cure? But Dany insisted Ser Jora finds cure for greyscale. Bran and Tyrion never thought of drugging Dany before she went on a rampage?

So the end of Bran arc was planned, but I think it would be a lil bit more "Game of thronesesque" if they put a plot twist right before the episode ends. like Bran been the night king in the inside or he ended up dead days after
