Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 6 'The Iron Throne' Part 2 Finale REACTION!!

[@mikebordin6841]

Bran for two seasons: "I can never be a lord of anything" Bran in season finale: "Yeah, I can be king!"

[@danbadd]

@Meram GulamiYes, this!

[@seanmatthews5124]

Precisely why he was saying he cant be a lord of anything, because he knew he was going to be a king.

[@holdmybeard3160]

@Meram Gulami The King is Lord of the Six Kingdoms.

[@theunderdog9353]

Yeah I still remember watching that scene with my friends. We were pretty drunk and they were all going like, no way they're doing that. That's not gonna happen but I knew it would happen as soon as Tyrion saod "...and who has a better stroy than Bran the Broken?". They were all in disbelief and I was just silently boiling from the inside, until Bran said "Why do you think I came all this way?" At that point, I exploded and I nearly broke my Game of Thrones mug in a fit of rage and sadness. That was the final nail in the coffin for me. I was physically incapable to enjoy or even pay attention to the rest of the episode. I just didn't give a shit anymore. D&D butchered what was once the greatest TV show ever. I'll never forgive those morons. They should be fired from the industry immediately but seeming as that won't happen, I just pray to the seven gods that they won't ever write for something I like again. If they do, I'm just not gonna watch it.

[@kimberlyjeanne9456]

Bran has always been good so I thought he was a good choice bc he’s really just a figurehead at this point. The leadership being more of a council now, no one person with all the power. Brandon will be the most fair king possible.

[@MsMaggyW]

@@kimberlyjeanne9456 And history has a tendency of repeating itself, we are constantly repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Bran knows every mistake the kingdom has ever made, so he's the least likely to do anything stupid. Plus, he's good right down to the core, that can't be disputed.

Answer of anyone in Westeros with a thought: Yep. The Maesters got it wrong.. played the waiting game when someone with knowledge was before them. Not different than real life in that regard. The entire scientific community was trying to prove the theory of flight.. substantial footage of their efforts is now a late blooper reel of what they were capable of while they were shown up by 2 bicycle makers.

[@iceman10129]

No wonder they left him out of the book. The book that was the title of the story, and not any person. In a book that was smaller than the journal that Brienne wrote in.

[@arpadszabo661]

Apfelkuchen why wouldn’t i take them seriously? They were right about the army of the dead. They knew that it existed and that they have no way to get over the wall. Dany going there and losing a dragon to the night king was the only reason why they became a threat to the realm. Other than that, the history that can be found there is the history that Bran can see, its the same thing. The only thing i have against them is not caring about Jorah’s greyscale but that’s it.

[@SolidSnake8295]

Everybody at the Council: "Hey uh, so we all got these letters from Varys a few weeks back, what's this about a secret Targaryen heir who has the best claim to the throne, and is apparently pretty good at leadership?" Tyrion: "Shut the hell up and let me tell you the story of a little cripple boy with a dream"

[@She-Devil94]

You could have chosen Jon as the King but not only is that not who he is but it would also result in a unnesessary war between the north and the Unsullied. Also by choosing their future rightful Kings or Queens they litterally broke that wheel that Daenerys always wanted to break. In the end lineage was not the most important factor and who could guarantee that Jons children would be fit to rule?

[@crystall.411]

E a lot of the targaryens were just as bad if not worse than daenerys in some ways and another tagaryen king made it better its not just a persons house, but yes I think they kinda took the easy way out because they wanted someone who couldnt father children if he ever took a wife

[@She-Devil94]

@@crystall.411 A lot of Targaryens wanted to "free" the whole world like Daenerys did with Kings Landing? I mean she basically said we "saved" Kings Landing and now will "save" the whole world. I don't think any Targaryen was more dangerous than Daenerys^^

[@CReaper210]

@@She-Devil94 The lineage thing is a good point that I think could've played a key role here if they were to never have the Aegon Targaryen storyline in the first place, which ultimately served little purpose anyways. Because they had the whole king of the north thing going with Jon Snow prior to any of it. The people chose Jon Snow as their king, as Davos said. That storyline could have had a direct impact on this episode when they decide to forgo the idea of lineage leadership. Many people are mentioning how Jon doesn't want to be king, but I can't help but feel like that's the reason he would probably be the best at it. Whereas pretty much everyone else just wants the power associated with it, Jon's been fighting for peace and honor this entire time.

Me too , the season got a very strange twist when the episode 3 ended at Aryas hand , it affected a lot of plotlines , the aegon targaryen thing was bad handled , another thing affected the season was not killing jaime in episode 3 at the at hand of some of night kings lieutenants not a random wight , he deserved a dead at the hand of a major threat it would have worked out as a tool to get cercei mentally destroyed for not sending the army with him wich would have keep him alive .

[@attifiet]

You mean Aerys*

[@jacobwilson1809]

Agreed. But that was the main point. Jon was really the song of ice and fire. He didn’t kill the Night King directly but he was the threat (Song of Ice) and he did directly kill Dany in the end due to his legacy (and Fire). I’m sure the books will provide more. Honestly the song of ice and fire could be Jon and Dany. At the end Jon returns kinda home to his world of Ice as a king. Maybe Ice was meant as perseveration to ones values as opposed to the fire of burning the world due to opposing values? Idk. I like the open ending

Here are some true facts about season 8: 1. HBO was ready to do GoT for 10 seasons or at least have a full-length 8th season with at least 12 episodes 2. Dumb and Dumber didn't want to go through with more episodes because they were offered to write a new Star Wars (they got fired later on and replaced) 3. There was no lack of budget for HBO's hit series 4. Dumb and Dumber are simply terrible writers who could only write scripts based on already written stories (note how the quality dropped after book material ended)

Well a Spymaster does more than just knowing stuff. Whenever you need to take actions that are not supposed to be openly known you actual need spys. E.G. Kill a person, help someone unkownly. Also Bran obviously isnt omniscient, the scene where he asked for the location of the dragon shows that. He can get intel when he is concentrating on something but he does not know everything that happens everywhere just by existing. The spys are supposed to pick up rumours and keep an eye on other people so Bran doesnt have to warg into a tree 24/7.

[@tomasvrabec1845]

@@ralfrudi3963 Well.... we know that Bran is connected to the weirwood net.... There are no weirwoods out of Westeros so he has no power there. Besides, he know the past and some of present and only very very very very little of the future... all of the future he knew could be summarised in the vision he had (dragon flying over kingslanding) Knowing the past is why he is suited to his new position since the whole reason why we learn history is to learn from the mistakes and achievements of our ancestors.

[@ralfrudi3963]

@@noneofyourbeeswax01 Sure he can find him eventually because as I said he can get information on anything he wishes to get them on but he needs to know what he is looking for and has to spend time googling or whatever he actually does. That doesnt work for things like people plotting a coup to overthrow him since he would not know who where what and when or even if. Unreasonable for him to keep those things in check by skimming the entire nation daily. A good spy network on the other hand could pick up on those. They allow bran to actually rule instead of scanning the interwebs or whatever all day long. I used the dragon as an example because it shows that even when he actually knows who he is looking for it takes a considerable amount of time to do so. If it only took him a minute to find it then he would have done so allready and not ask his council. Thats why a master of whispers and a good network of spys is still really useful to him. Simply by freeing up alot of time he can use for other things now that he cant spend the whole day in the garden watching history channel.

Being north of the wall was probably the only time in the show where he was ever truly free and happy.

[@maricelatorres3365]

True

[@Deadganon]

i feel that it only is recognized as bad writing cuz this story (or any ending story in that fact) required another season or 2 to fully flesh it out... but with the directors wanting to end it so soon, they kinda had to quick rap stuff up... which creates alot of issues like danys decent into madness isnt fully seen cuz they had to make it happen so quickly instead of over a season or 2 more.. and the rest of the stuff that they did in this season could of worked still but... as i said, they needed another season to 2 to stretch it out so it goes smoothy and makes sense... but o well... it was a wild adventure anyways.

[@mostneuter]

@@Deadganon Well, it started to get fucked when they decided to destroy Daenerys as a character at season 7, taking decisions that didn't made sense based on her own story: questioning the existence of magical being, being stuburn on the acknowlegment of being the queen (something she never did before) and so forth. For other characters, it wasn't as obvious but in general they (the writers) just shutted them down to keep their plan of making her the mad queen... The ending, based on what the writers did, wasn't to end Game Of Thrones, the only purpose of the 2 last seasons was to end the show on a mad queen

[@Deadganon]

@@mostneuter but to be fair, i always thought she was gonna end up being the mad queen, so that wasnt a shocker to me... the shocker to me was that jon didnt end up being king.. but in a way he got the best ending, he never wanted to be a leader, he just wanted to be free of duty etc, which now is part of the free folks in the north.

[@mostneuter]

​@@Deadganon Well, i would agree about the mad queen IF she wasn't being surrounded by good people and advisers because for the 6 seasons, she was "kept in line" by the people surrounding her. If we stick to their writing, i would say the reasons why she became mad queen is because the writers shutted down those same people. Yes she lost a few very close friends but there was still enough people to keep her in line. If they kept their regular behaviors, she would *never* have burn the entire city (with the innocent) and speak with such hate, which is for me the point that really destroyed her character. Everything else i was fine because it didn't really ruined the show, but when it happened, it was just too much for me.

Just so you all know- the Nights Watch is not back. If you noticed, they’re all Wildlings. Tormund and the last group of Wildlings were waiting for him. It was all a ruse set up by Tyrion not only so the Unsullied can be chill, but also the Dothraki. Those two armies would’ve probably revolted and continue Dany’s mission if they knew that the man who killed their queen was crowned king or allowed to live a normal life. Yara was also for Jon’s execution. Having Targ blood also might leave some of the common people hesitant in trusting Jon since his aunt literally slaughtered a whole city. Jon fulfilled the prophecy in bringing the “new dawn” by killing Dany. He brought people together for the Battle of Winterfell and he prevented Dany from killing more people. He never wanted to be king, but one thing that’s become obvious to me (rewatching the show) is that he has a special connection with the Wildlings. That’s his true home- the North. He’s never been happy dealing with the politics of King’s Landing. He could be elected as the King beyond the wall or live a normal life and visit Sansa now and again once things calm down in the South. A lot can happen in 10 years, just like Tyrion said. :)

The question then is why did he have to tell Jon right at that moment? To set things into motion because Dany was going to attack Cersei immediately after the battle of winterfell. So Sam tells Jon and then Jon tells Dany and then all hell breaks loose. Everything changes. Dany loses Jon and her claim to the throne in one move.

(It's a Tyrion joke, (clearly lol) usually told by someone who shares his... ...stature); I once went into a Brothel with a Honeycomb and a Jackass, The Madam said, "Good Morning, sir! How can we help you?" "I need a woman to lie with, for mine has left me." "Oh, I'm sorry to hear it, and what's with the Honeycomb and Jackass?" "Oh, well I brought home a lamp, and while the Mrs. was wiping off the dust, out POPPED a Genie!" "Ooh!" Said the Madam "Yes!" I agreed, "And for freeing him from his small prison, he granted her three wishes. Without hesitation, she wished to have a house fit for a Queen! And POOF! Appeared this Honeycomb!" "Oh, no!" The Madam said. "Yea," Agreeing again, "She was apprehensive, at first, but then for her second wish, demanded the Nicest Ass in all Seven Kingdoms! And, POOF! Appeared this Jackass!" "And her third wish?" "For her third wish," I answered, "You'd think she'd take a little more time to consider, but she immediately demanded that I, her husband, would have a cock that hung down past my knees!"

[@crystall.411]

Jon was smiling he was happiest that way

[@hunbbelmeer6600]

As some parts of the ending are confusing, here's my explanation: 1. Jon/Aegon couldn't be the King, just because he he has the right name. That'd be the opposite of breaking the wheel. The whole point of choosing a ruler is to not go by titles and lineage. 2. Besides, they had to come to peace with Greyworm (the Unsullied and the Dothraki). Choosing Jon as the King would have meant another war. 3. Bran knew everything, and he won the Game of Thrones. Knowledge really is power. He had to make tough decisions (asking Sam to tell Jon about his parentage and letting Daenerys go mad and burn King's Landing), so he would become the all-knowing King: either to fulfill his lust of power (which I don't think is the case) or to finally have the kingdom at peace (the more likely scenario). 4. Jon's ending broke my heart the most. I wanted him the best for him. But it is what it is. He is where he would be happy with his friend and pet, but the doors of the 7 kingdoms are shut on him just because he had the courage to do the right thing. Two of his lovers died in his arms, and yet he'd do it all over again if it comes to that. He was the shield that guarded the realms of men, and we shall never see his like again. Now his watch has ended. PS: Jon is NOT in the Night's Watch. He is exiled beyond the wall. He is the unofficial King Beyond the Wall, who protects wildlings -- the only people who supported him through thick and thin. The "he is to be sent to the Night's Watch" was obviously a trick to settle the matters with Greyworm. There is no Night's Watch anymore (we saw no one; only wildlings at Castle Black).

Great explanation of what happened. I didn't pick up that Jon was going to live with the Free Folk and not really in the N W but having rewatched I definitely agree.

[@Lesula]

There is still a nights watch as Tyrion explained in the episode, thieves and rapist still need a place to go. Also fun fact Jon was seen leaving the Lord Commander chambers and the way the free folk follow him basically makes aegon king beyond the wall. Also I doubt he abandoned the wall, simply out ranging with his people.

[@JohnDoe-dw8eh]

Same.

Jon was absolutely Azor Ahai (Prince who was promised). He stabbed his beloved in the heart and Drogon set a throne of swords on fire ( Lightbringer) that banished darkness from the realm.

[@chuchi9969]

If that was the writers intention, they ruined a potential completely epic moment.

[@SpartanBobo]

@@chuchi9969 What Jons sword getting lit on fire? I think it honestly has more meaning this way than If it was just as simple as Dany being the "Darkness". It was her obsession with being on the throne that lead to what she ultimately became. It essentially is what constantly brought out the worst of people throughout the series. Far more epic in my opinion.

[@chapachuu]

@@SpartanBobo Same. I like how the story went, and having the throne destroyed (like the ring in LoTR, which also served as an antagonist of the story) was great. Jon was still a hero. You don't need a crown on the top of your head at the end of a story to be a hero. And many heroes are never recognized. The ending subverted the stereotypical hero story outcome. Not sure why so many people are so mad about it, aside from it being a bit rushed (but still not bad).

[@SpartanBobo]

@@chapachuu Exactly how I feel. it was ABSOLUTELY rushed there is no denying it. But I feel like they still hit all the story beats they should have hit and wrapped everything up in a fitting way for the characters. The way I see it is everything before season 7 was SO good that 7 and 8 taking a dip from being rushed in no way makes it bad. Glad there's other people that feel the same because it seems like most people hated it lol. GRRM has always said his ending is very reminiscent of LOTR and this was very much Return of the King so I can see the books mostly going how the show went. Just with more detail cuz well they are books.

Jon was at the core of it all. He killed Daenerys and changed the future of Westeros for the better. He is the ultimate hero of the series, but the thing about this story is that often the real heroes are forgotten and don't get the praise and glory they deserve. He will live out his days north where he has always belonged. Where he felt free for the first time in his life, not a bastard or a king, just himself.

[@joanforestmage4273]

Agreed! Also, different characters showed different aspects of what it means to be a bastard or a king. (Lots of both bastards and kings in the story.) Jon's story shows that just because someone is by right the king, and even takes on the responsibility of acting like the king to save the people, that doesn't automatically mean the person wants the honors; Jon just wanted to do what was right, whatever was his station in life.

My biggest problem with the last season is they crunched it down to 6 episodes when there was enough story for 15. They turned John into a cardboard cutout. I do think John was happier as a ranger than anything else, and he didn't want to rule anything. Daeneris was headed toward this ending. Everything she ended she ended with violence, and the problem she was going to have was Westeros supporting John more than her once his story got out to more people so he would always be a threat. She got paranoid but they showed that collapse way too quickly If you think about the line that when a Targeryan is born the gods flip a coin and the world holds its breath it makes sense. My opinion is they really screwed the Bran character up. If he had a personality and made him likeable it would have been easier to take instead of turning him into a supercomputer.
