Bran Stark goes to King's Landing: How Game of Thrones Ends

[@veetour]

Bran was frustrated by how the handicap were treated in Westeros. He burned down King's Landing so that he could make it more wheelchair accessible.

[@jat3916]

Finally, a theory that makes sense. I agree totally. GRRM said that the ending could be found in the beginning. Jojen tells Bran he’s the only thing that matters. He believes that so deeply he’s willing to die to get Bran where he needs to be. Bran’s life has been irrevocably changed before that, but once he becomes the Three Eyed Raven he seems to lose who he is. I hope he has the chance to regain some of it, but, I think he’ll be required to give his life to pay for the lives of the still living. A young boy who is sweet, likeable, and good, he’s tossed out a window to die, but manages to survive but he’s never going to be who he was. He makes a harrowing trip to find his destiny and once again he’s changed irrevocably. This beautiful young boy, will never have the chance to live his life as Brandon Stark, will end up sacrificing everything he is so humanity has the chance to survive. If that’s not bittersweet, I don’t know what it is.

Wow. This is a better video than a lot of the huge GOT channels and it is grossly accurate as of episode 2. Great work!

[@abinlp]

Outstanding stuff. Your style is engaging, your narrative is compelling, and you come from a very thoughtful and well researched perspective. I'll be listening to all your videos. Keep up the fine work.

[@vijayashankar9129]

Ur prediction is true . Bran the broken became the king

[@pplr1]

And he burned down King's Landing.. only not to save humanity but to get Jon and Dany out of the way so he could be king. He didn't worg into a dragon. But he schemed to mentally brake Dany so he could still use her dragon for his ends.

[@chadeller5588]

i like your ending, and its meaning, much better than the show's.

[@WillCMay]

chad eller We haven't seen it yet, and I think Sansa ordered him to warg into Drogon to frame Daneres. Look at the tension between the two of them.

I was a referral from Val as well! I love your prediction. It sounded outlandish before you explained it, but after watching the whole video, I totally get why it could happen

[@mduckernz]

Nice summary mate :) BG sends her regards! I can definitely see it playing out pretty similarly to this. I like the call back to the Northern traditions regarding executions.

[@FeebleAntelope]

I understand now. Denioff and Weiss warged into Dany.

[@austinshoup1853]

absolutely brilliant. I kept trying to figure out how Bran's vision of a dragon over king's landing would tie back in..

[@antnyciafardoni6139]

In regards to Bran's humanity, he's not entirely Bran anymore - i.e. human - as he said to Meera at Winterfell. So his humanity won't play a significant role in his decisions, it'll mostly be the desire to win the war, which gives credit to your claim of him warging a dragon and burning down King's Landing. Great assessment and vid!

[@seanhaugen2437]

Val sent me from Because Geek. And I am not disappointed. Wow, great job!

New subscriber here! And Thanks! Your essays and video’s are incredible, informative and lots of fun, whether it plays out exactly as you mention. I could not wait for another video about the “other part” of your ending, and was able to read a lot more about this by following the first link below the video, then following the “WOTW” link (your essay started with “Light bringer..) that I found at the bottom. I think it may have possibly been linked by another in the comments section. Really great!

[@americancitizen4259]

This is by far one of the best theories that I have heard. People have thought I am crazy when I brought up the house of the undying and Bran's vision of a dragon over Kings Landing. I think this has a very strong possibility of happening.

[@bobsanderson6520]

Yeah, he has visions. Is he actually required to be present at these visions? No. He see's history. So why does he have to be warged into the dragon to see its POV shadow? No more than he was standing there at Rhags and Lyanna's wedding. It's also really dumb in the context of burning KL. Caches of wild fire are still stored all around the city. Dragons aren't necessary. And what's the narrative predicate? Bran has to swing the sword? For what? He's jesus christ and he decides whether mankind is good or not? Ned's lesson was about restraint and responsibility in killing, not about bloodlust. Dumb.

[@nasos683]

I think George Martin will do a good job with his books as he always does and leave fans satisfied with the end this time

[@taigor97]

A great theory was that bran whispered to the mad king to "burn them all" so that he would make a lot of wildfire which were then stored in most areas of king's landing ( as seen when Cersei blows up the sept of baelor). It would then be easy for Bran who would have warged into the dragon to make them go off like bombs by scorching the earth. Then your theory would most likely apply but i doubt bran could kill all white walkers before getting shut down ( like viserion) so the wildfire could help in that regard

[@victoriannecastle]

Damned! You predicted it. It’s what happened. But you made your valid points and logical reason compared with the haters here in GOT. Now, the last episodes made sense. Love Dany’s turn but still hated NK’s death.

[@claushellsing]

Wow!!! You were a 60 % right on TV but in books you are 90 % right

[@aileentaylor8687]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@alponca5943]

Let me clear one thing from my end, I'm too cheap to pay for an hbo subscription. But I dated someone who owned couple of the first seasons dvd's so I watch some. It seems as you have read the books and watched the series as well as interviews with the author. All you explained makes total sense as well as Bran having the powers he does. To that I will add that on an interview the actor that plays Brienne mentioned how she reacted when she read the final script, she cried and got upset so your forecasted ending makes more sense. Anyway, we'll see how it all ends thank you for all your great depiction!

[@Life_moreabundantly]

Good Stuff👑

[@ChescoYT]

*Bran the Nights King is my theory from 4 years ago that i spammed on multiple youtube comment sections for years.* I thought he would go back in time by greensearing into another man to become 'Bran the Builder', gets caught over the wall by the Children of the Forest who were warring with Men at this time in hisotry, gets converted into the Nights King.

[@patrickcoughlin9220]

Only thing though Brandon the builder built the wall after the war... after the children of the forest helped create the wall...

[@autumnlover5784]

“ Only death can pay for life “ and in this case that is very harsh and true the death of millions will give possible life to the ones left 🥺 Only question is the wildfire it will still be used right? So the dragon will mainly be the ignition source from above to cover larger area and bring King Ares arc full circle as well???

[@lexj.2162]

I'd certainly prefer a climax such as this as opposed to a beaten path, one on one victory over the oncoming villain. or having to overcome the forces of cersei to take hold of the iron throne, on the show. this possible ending can certainly be realized in the books, with the potpourri of destruction converging on apocalypse ground zero which is king's landing. what with euron and his exotic ideas, faegon and his army, danerys and hers, and the distant whisper of the white walkers, who have to be high fiving each other over humanity rolling out the carpet to their own doom. bran would have to beat them to the punch to salvage the rest of the planet over what seems to be an effort of tabula rasa.

[@wesley-bg6ql]

That's a good theory. Martin did say that there are things that indicate how it will end in the first book.

[@drizzyuzumaki8753]

wesley James that damn dagger

[@carriezen8499]

I do think Bran will face off with NK because of the lesson from Ned in episode 1, but I think more likely it will be at Godseye/Isle of Faces. Great video, you have a good understanding of collective consciousness and Bran's transformation into a different state of being and his journey, the Hermits path to enlightenment.

[@drizzyuzumaki8753]

I thought him or Jon would but nope said hbo

[@dazzarn83]

Dude! If the leaks are correct then you are...Bran orchestrated EVERYTHING that sent Dany nuts! We always knew she was capable. Revealing the "information" leads to the destruction of King's Landing because Bran tips her coin as it falls. Bravo!

[@brianmather4048]

Here's my question the Dragon will it be alive or dead ? Drago, Laitheron ( the one thee Night King rides? ) or thee ancient one of the Story buried in the crypts of WinterFell ?

[@paigepopejoy]

I think you’re spot on with this. There’s a reason the show did not show us Daenerys’ face once the bells finished ringing and she seemingly began flying toward the Red Keep. It’s possible she wasn’t in control of Drogon.

[@ainoskimusic]

Also meaning he intended for Dany to be blamed and justify killing her.

[@owen8098]

Still think it could happen?

[@DNotzz]

I always thought that Kl would come into play with the army of the dead. I knew GrRM wasn’t inserting KL/Wildfire info into his books for no reason. I just never knew how it would happen. I always thought Cersei would be the unwitting hero that accidentally dealt with the Army of the dead by burning down the city. This is a good theory too tho. Fits nicely with what we know

[@SamJ_1980]

This was a well thought out, realistic theory. If only the Night King made it through Winterfell!

[@yezenirl6331]

Sam J was worth a shot!

[@TreasonSky]

The Long Night was a master class in how to ignore or subvert basic military tactics. For all the people claiming this theory is wrong, they need to open their eyes at how accurate it is. There are even multiple angles to attack this on. Bran wasn’t just changed the night he became a three-eyed raven. His life was forever changed the day he was thrown from the tower, and lost the use of his legs. In a medieval world, Bran was as good as dead, yet left Winterfell, and traveled north, beyond the wall, despite his crippled state. That’s all fine and dandy, maybe even poetic, but it doesn’t make him a hero at all. This all makes him the perfect villain. Ned attempts to imbue him with old wisdom, and it begins to get twisted when Bran gets thrown from the tower. From then on, Bran is nothing but a petulant, reclusive, self-loathing child trapped in an aging, crippled, human shell, with little value for human life, let alone his own. Get ready folks. Your hero is also a villain. It only depends on how you look at things.

[@Msblakbuttaphly]

Bran: Bran the builder, 3 eyed Crow/Raven(both), Lord of Light, Creator of the Night King or the Night King.

[@teresaboze69]

here's the thing about the show which is *not* speculated on anywhere: How is it that the Knight King rides the dragon? He *must* be Tygarean (sp).

[@bigjohnkapert2827]

Because Geek (my fav. GOT blogger, pod caster, you tuber etc.) sent me here. I like your predictions. You and Val should do a colab. I also like GrayArea, others as well, to many to list.

[@solfiresuperhero6306]

I said that there maybe one or more other dragons in this story, and that very scene where a shadow of a dragon was flying over that city made me come to that conclusion cause I said to myself why would they put a scene like that in the story, and stories like these always have clues about what's to come later on in the story. Also how does anyone know that those incidents where there were a little girl, and animals that were burnt to a crisp was done by the dragon queen's dragons? I also believe that Ghost has a huge army of wolves that is going to help with the big battle that is to come, and they're going to come when Jon, and company seems to start losing the battle. I don't know just guessing, but I do know that there's going to be a lot of surprises to come in the last five episodes.

I think Bran let Drogon burn King Landing. He could have stop it but didn't. Like you said could it be because he his afraid of the return of the Night King? Someone raising another one to balance nature? As you said in another video if the prince that was promised was the baby of Daenarys and Jon, and there can't be no more. Maybe Bran when he say Jon didn't love anymore Daenarys he would have to burn king Landing to keep is safe, burn the ressources. I have to think about this one a bit more.

[@kelllly8489]

If Bran's vision of a dragon was of him flying over King's Landing to destroy the army of the dead, then King's Landing should be frozen, but it's clearly not. I think it's more likely that the dragon gets to King's Landing before the White Walkers do. Also, the army of the dead are animated by the White Walkers. It would only make sense for Bran to warg into a dragon to kill the White Walkers--not the army of the dead, as they will go away as soon as the White Walkers are gone. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

[@yezenirl6331]

The visions of the future are all non literal. And fire cannot kill the Walkers.

[@Glamuel]

YezenIRL It remains to be seen if dragonfire can kill Walkers.

[@yezenirl6331]

Sum Ride oh I'm not convinced it can. This would be to kill the wights. The White Walkers and NK would still need to be taken care of.

[@rte148]

I find this theory bizzarly Bran heavy. Now I think someone needs to have a good sit down with him and see if he has any further useful information. But I find it hard to believe that Danaerys would be cool with some kid she's never even spoken with to just warg into one of her dragons. I just don't see it.

Most likely the maesters or an appointed caregiver lifts him onto a chamberpot. Bran can use his arms so he might be able to wipe himself. He can bathe and feed himself so really he only needs someone to lift him into the chair and get him from place to place.
