Things That Made No Sense In Game Of Thrones

Bran for 7 seasons..."I don't want it" "I'm not a lord anymore" "I'm the new 3 eyed raven"..... season 8 last episode "that was my plan over all is to be king"..... wtf

[@janellejulianajoy]

These statements are technically and cryptically true. Bran didn't want to be anything other than a Lord or soldier and after the fall and becoming the three eyed raven he pretty much desired nothing. He was the new three eyed raven. There isn't a NK to hide from any longer. He doesn't have to be held up in a tree for nine hundred years to see things. This was never his plan, this was his already his fate. As stupid as much of the writing for Bran was towards the end my bigger question is why was he King period. Forget what he could or couldn't see, why him?!

[@6Churches]

A version of his kingship where he did merge with the godswood inside the Red Keep would have been more interesting that what we got. The knowledge that comes from the weirwoods could enhance and elevate all the seven kingdoms.

[@SerbAtheist]

Long Night was the largest and most expensive night shoot in history, and an entire hour of nothing but fighting. Dany's snap was the most amazing moment in the history of television. Bran the Broken was the pinnacle of GOT and it's overall message on the role wisdom should play in human society, a role sadly lacking in the modern day.

Assuming she flies at an altitude of 1000 to 3000 ft she ought to be able to see the fleet from over 50 - 100 km distance. She could see the fleet 30 minutes to an hour before being in weapons range. And they would not be able to see her (too small at that distance). Of course we can factor in fog... but that would also mean, that the dragons are nigh invisible to the fleet as well. Yes, of course it's fantasy, but GRRM prouds himself somewhat to keep up a certain amout of realism.

[@danielbrown8812]

In the very first scene of this show a walker demonstrated that there was more to them than "killing anyone in their way". A walker went after the highborn and ignored the lowborn who was no threat. They just forgot about this like hundreds of other important plot points.

[@walterude6323]

The character assassinations Dumb and Dumber carried out on this show still sends my blood boiling. 1. Tyrion suddenly lost all his wisdom and only ever seemed to say stupid things. 2. Dany suddenly became a blood-craving mad woman despite a strong character buildup that needed more than just her trust issues with Jon to destroy. 3. Jaime went from being a guy on the road to redemption to an idiot over an incestuous relationship. 4. Brienne of Tarth went from being a fierce warrior with a purpose to a blubbering woman who can't handle her man leaving. 5. Cersei who was known for her cunning and restless plotting only ever appeared to drink wine in the last season. I could go on and on. It really hurts still to know that this show went from being really great to end as such a stinker.

[@madambutterfly1997]

@@wayneburgess5336 no actually it was theorized that Bran might have been inclined to warg into the human night king to tell the children of the forest to not change him into the night king to save the future, and similar to the hodor (hold the door) episode, bran would have been somehow “trapped” in the night kings mind. Hence the deep connections between the two throughout the series, such as the NK always knowing where bran was, even in bran’s visions. That would have given the NK a better origin story / depth vs the overly simplified effortless plot that was actually produced.

Rewatch the first scene of the show. A walker went after a highborn and let commoner who was no threat escape.

@@danielbrown8812 Actually he went after Waymar Royce (who had the Stark look) and Will because they were prepared to fight with their swords. As warriors they saw it as a challenge. Gared never challenged them. He wasn't a threat and they let him go because they knew he would tell others. So, basically the WWs were saying Winter is Coming. I too thought that the most complex story was the WWs and it's probably the BEST story as backstories usually are. I sure hope GRRM finishes his books so that we get to know these stories and why there must always be a Stark in Winterfell.

To avoid the stupidity of all the wights pulling Viscerion out of the frozen lake, because u know, they can't swim, and couldn't attack Jon and co. because of this. The night king stands on the frozen lake, witb a lot of dead wights there from the previous litter battle, he raises his arms, as if to bring them back, whuch they do, but then Viscerion bursts through the ice, witb an almighty scream and we zoom in to see his eyes opening blue, cut to black. That's just 1 of the many silly things that could easily have been changed, like the ringing of the bells, lots of different things to do there. I know D and D can write some great stuff and its very easy for me or others to criticise, but season 8 had so many things that didn't fit with what we were told from season 1 to 7. A pity such a brilliant show, and it was brilliant, went out the way it did. I think once Dany landed in Westeros is when the show really fell apart. It was like once her struggle to get there was over, the show just changed. There was just something off with how they wrote Dany once in Westeros. Just never seemed to fit.

Then being called "The smartest person I know" by Arya who in turn shits on Jon when saying as much. Adorable. Then randomly the hardened lords of the North just kinda decide "Queen in the North!" Lmao her plot finished out this way because Bennioff and Weiss ran out of pre-written material and shilled to 2 concepts... feminism and "subverting expectations".

The wall was not just to protect the north from white walkers, it was to protect them from the "free folk". Also the white walker stared at Sam, but you could argue that it did nothing because did not see him as a threat.

No you’re right, that’s the point- the writers rushed the ending and tried to make it unpredictable, but in doing so subverted a lot of the long-developed plotlines

[@Thunderflare99]

Yeah, all those Dothraki showing up after capturing King's Landing made no sense at all and was an obvious blunder. That is an excellent observation about the time/space: in the first episode they made it clear how long the journey from Winterfell to King's Landing was, then it later appears to be a brief journey. Yes, Ned should have told his wife the truth about Jon, she deserved to know her husband didn't cheat on her, and Jon didn't need to be treated the way he was. I know it's debatable about when the show went wrong, but I think the writers fell in love with "gotcha!" moments and surprising fans of outcomes they didn't expect, instead of giving fans the ending they wanted and deserved. No one wanted to see Daenerys flip out and become the evil she swore not to be, and everyone wanted to see Arya kill Cersei.

Yorp. Built a thousand ships out of WHAT? Rocks and salt.

[@voodoochild1975az]

This list reaffirms the obvious problem with the show. The show runners are garbage without the books to guide them. As soon as they got ahead of the books, the writing quality fell off a cliff and plot holes multiplied. Notice how most of this is AFTER they got ahead of the books?

[@diddymohd3701]

magically multiplying dothraki. well wtf moment

[@aliengranpa]

The white Walker baby always confused the hell out of me

[@dbszady]

The babies are infused with power and turned by the night king. They become white walkers who in a way are generals for the night king's army. Able to raise undead (wights) and build up the army without needing the night king to be everywhere at once.

[@LaLaSimpkins]

Sansa being named Queen of the North, isn’t a “junior crown,” or whatever you said. She never wants to leave the North because, historically, terrible things happen to Starks that head South. Even in her own personal experience, bad things happen to her as a result of leaving. This is EXACTLY what she wanted.

[@CaloobianMongoose]

My personal biggest issues - Jamie’s complete character regression in the final episode. - the incest between Daenerys and John that we’re just supposed to be cool with - Bran’s entire character past episode one (best story my ass) - Daenerys Mad Queen switch (again - erasing almost all character development) - How the hell Sam got away from the White Walkers

[@SerbAtheist]

1) Jamie didn't regress, but advanced from a cynical bastard to a true night who does his duty and from merely lusting after Cersei to truly loving her for all her faults. 2) Who says you're supposed to be cool with Jonaerys incest? Jon certainly wasn't. 3) Bran's story is the best, the epitome of GOT and not without accident is he the first POV character. The fact he is in a passive roal is immaterial. He is the goal of the story and not the engine. He is the one people died to save so he could use his widsom and knowledge to lead Westeros into a better future. 4) Dany was the Mad Queen since the end of S1, when she reveled in the screams of an innocent rape victim. 5) That's the sword you wanna die on?

[@soroushm2498]

Bran had a great story in season 4

[@brianmorgan6524]

This show was so amazing and they ruined it so bad it's tragic

[@rockoichigo10]

Such a great show for such a mess up ending.

[@SoulGizmo]

Danny kinda forgot about the iron fleet

[@tammymartinez7488]

She’s not a good leader!

[@ericedmundson4407]

Another puzzling issue for me was why the Mother of Dragons had white hair on her head and black eyebrows… 😂🔥

[@jerrydrouillard]

Because for some reason all of the blonde characters in the books were played by dark haired actors. Lena Headey is naturally brown haired, yet she gets cast as the blonde, blue eyed Cersei. Emilia Ckarke has dark hair gets cast as Daenerys. In the books Sansa has black hair, but for some reason they cast her as Sophie Turner.

[@jimmuscle2891]

The fact Jon's Parents were kept secret isn't unbelievable, it happens in real-life all the time...

[@pennyclark4844]

I watched season 8 as far as the night king dying and didn't bother with the last 2 episodes. The last 2 episodes were ridiculous. Bran did nearly nothing in them,so making him king was stupid.

[@Kevinm1025]

How about how Sansa went from being one of the most brainless characters not being able to see even the most obviously guessed betrayals to suddenly flipping a switch and being one of the smartest and a good battle strategist while almost at the same exact time Tyron and Jon are two of the smartest and best strategists suddenly make stupid mistake after stupid mistake and can't see what's in front of them. It's like the characters suddenly switched minds right before the battle of the bastards.

[@gdprsn]

Milesandra did not bring back John from the dead she explained that she doesn't have the power before the battle of the bastards.

[@BrianHartman]

Sansa doesn't even deserve to be Queen of the North. Are you kidding me‽ She made some terrible decisions. Her behavior basically form Season 6 on (when she inexplicably takes Littlefinger as a confidant) make no sense. If she were any other GOT character, such stupid decisions would've gotten her killed.

[@NolanHughes]

Arya didn’t train at the house of the undying - that’s in Qarth. She trained at the house of black and white.

[@johnnyjay6959]

U guys gotta check out Maulers unbridled rage on the final season on his channel in KZbin

[@Truckerdaddy]

Arya killed the Waif and put her face on one of the pillars.

[@TheRealRedAce]

Stopped watching after the red priestess bit showed you hadn't actually watched the series! She didn't KNOW she could revive people and in any case it wasn't her doing it , but her god acting through her as she and the other red priests had already explained several times. You'd do better to watch and pay attention to a series before posting vids about it. :(

[@JayYoung313]

This show could of been the greatest show of all time ever.. but some episodes in season 6 and 7 destroyed that.. it felt so rushed when it didn’t have to be.. I don’t know it if was ending of contracts or different schedules. It was just piss poor..

[@bekongwu602]

Probably read the books at least 5 times, I still don’t see the foreshadowing of Danny’s decent into madness. She was cruel at times, isn’t that one of the disadvantages of monarchy in general? And because her father was mad does not mean she would be mad, genetics doesn’t align so predictably. If anything, it is a marvel she still had some decency in most of her chapters. But as far as monarchs go, there’s nothing mad about Danny in my opinion. She is a young woman learning how to rule, let us not forget she went through shit. I don’t buy the Danny theory, book or Tv. I need convincing.

[@Bobby-oc9qw]

Genetics unfortunately does line up this way

[@mijanhoque1740]

Agree there’s been great Targaryen kings and awful Targaryen kings. Madness is not a hereditary trait, it’s all about upbringing.

[@peterang6912]

The waif gets killed by Arya....

[@ThedeadlyOG]

Everything after season 5!!

[@georgeprchal3924]

Hey now, we got to see the sand snakes die at least, that was a high point of season 7.

[@trevorjoneill707]

these people should never be involved with any story again, again i say ANY STORY

[@vickijackson5547]

Arya should've killed Cersei, John should have killed the Night King. I really wish they hadn't killed Dany, but since they did I honestly don't know who should have ruled the instead, but I know it shouldn't have been Bran. I really hated this ending. I wonder if George Martin will finish the story in my lifetime so we can know what he intended.

[@soroushm2498]

Stannis and Shireen are the bests now that Tywin and Kevan are dead

[@Smenkhaare]

Now Martin will try to change things like the The Rise of Skywalker and will try to retcon so much of this garbage. He should have written the books. So tired of his prequels. I think he ran out of steam. It happens in all of his worlds. Just check out Wildcards. The books started out as semi coherent then descended into outright madness. So many things to be retconned and changed. I am so glad that D & D did not get Star Wars that they killed GoT to get.

[@dimension9680]

When the white walkers pulled the dragon out of the ice with chains that they could never have just found lying around there or quickly made or had ready for that task-thats when the whole series broke for me. It shattered the illusion I’d been enjoying by just being too silly. That was it for me and honestly it was all downhill from that point onwards wasn’t it really. In the end the final series was embarrassingly bad.
