Jon Snow was always a whiny twerp...he was always stupid (you know nothing Jon Snow)... And the idea of a person doing stupid things for love is as old as time so those complaints were foolish...then came the "fascist" label which was gobsmackingly stupid....those are excuses all "Tyrants" say, fascism has nothing to do with it. Pretty much had to stop at the rant about the throne showing just how clueless this all is...the Throne was the CAUSE of it all, her madness happened in pursuit of it and yes, the dragon understood that as dragons are intelligent beings AND the dragon and Dany were mentally linked so it knew he thoughts. With so many legit things to complain about when it comes to the shit writing...these complaints are complaints geared to suit the anger of those that hate SJWs and are more political in nature. Shaprio, you are turning into Rush Limbaugh...

[@Tommy2shoe811]

Bran was the reason the Night King was able to get thru the Wall bc of the Night King’s touch (which allowed the NK to finally enter the 3 eyed raven’s cave and kill him and the Children who were responsible for making the NK what he was). He basically got others to kill the original 3 eyed raven and then the NK and then everyone standing in his way to power. Plus he has absolute power by knowing when anyone lies to him or is moving against him and AND can control the dragon (and any other animal and possibly any other person).

He doesn't watch into *a* future...he watches into *the* future. Which is why he never flat out told people about it. Since he's the only one able to do so, by doing nothing except what he's seen he would do, everything will fall into place anyway. At least that's what "realistic" future sight would work if it were possible in the first place. It's not possible to watch into the future since it didn't happen yet and seeing it itself would change the future hence it would be meaningless to look. But when you have *literally all information* you can calculate the future as everything is calculatable. But the only way to stay true to these calculations is to not say anything or rather to no influence it in any way after the calculation I might be putting alot more science to it than the writers did, but this concept *would* fit and since the series is finished, I choose to stick to it until the books tell me otherwise

I saw it more in the sense that the dragon was angry about all the lives lost and the death of his mother due to the lust for power, in a way the symbolic representation of the throne is that it represents the ultimate power.

That's actually incorrect. Once you accept the legitimacy of the Targaryens you necessarily have to renounce Robert Baratheon's reign as lawful.

[@Aboleo80]

@@traeHkcalB Reason why everyone accepted Robert's claim to the throne is because house Baratheon is actually related to Targaryans through marriage since Ormund Baratheon married Rhaelle Targaryan. That means Baratheons since Steffon Baratheon have Targaryen ancestors and that's why with no Targaryens being able to claim the throne Baratheon is next in line.

[@traeHkcalB]

@@Aboleo80 You might have a point, if the show were following the books. But of course, in the Books he is not legitimized.

[@traeHkcalB]

@@Aboleo80 "Reason why everyone accepted Robert's claim to the throne" If everyone respected his claim to the throne, there would have been no need to send assassins to kill Daenerys. Besides, it's all the more ludicrous to claim that Robert Baratheon's Targaryeness is what legitimizes his rule, all the while denying his Targaryness by trying to slaughter every remaining member of that house, while siring the new royal linage as house Baratheon, not Targaryen. It would be like Jon Snow, going to war against Bran, Rickon, Sansa and Arya and calling himself the rightful Lord of Winterfell simply because his mother was Lyanna Stark.

[@Aboleo80]

@@traeHkcalB everyone who joined his rebellion and later bent a knee to him. Daenerys still had a claim to the throne that's why he did it. All she had to do is what she eventually did. Get a large enough army and try to retake the throne and it would have been legitimate. My point still stands. Without a legitimate Targaryen being able to claim the throne a Baratheon is next in line for the throne under the old rules of succession. Now that Bran is king and high lords of Westeros decided that a king or queen will be elected out of one of them that rule doesn't apply any longer. They basically became the Byzantine empire where one of the most prestigious and able noblemen gets elected to be the emperor.

He tries hard, he fights hard, he cares - but he ALWAYS loses.

[@hb712]

_ ShockmasterG I always thought the show did a poor job with Jon’s arc, compared to the books. Jon is actually fairly intelligent in the books, has learned somewhat to play political games, and is fairly good at strategy, having basically written Stannis’ Northern strategy for him (in the books, Stannis is all but guaranteed to beat the Boltons). In the show, you are correct, Jon is a pathetic loser with little to no redeeming qualities.

Jon was not the rightful heir. He is the son of a deposed Crown Prince. The whole reason the Starks and Baratheons and Arryns and Tullys went to war against the Mad King, Rhaegar's father was because they were done with Targaryens. The Mad King & his son committed crimes against those families. They were off the throne, and Robert was their new king, and they fought a battle to make that happen. Acknowledging Jon as the true heir, as the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna, basically validates everything that Rhaegar did to start the war of Robert's Rebellion! Rhaegar kidnapped Lyanna, from her family, being underage, and he was already married to the Red Viper's sister. So Rhaegar violated the rights of the Starks and the Baratheons as Robert was engaged to Lyanna. Then the Mad King murdered Lyanna's father and oldest brother at court. So Robert and Ned went to war, because of the offense against their families. Jon Arryn joined the fight to protect Ned & Robert whom he loved like his sons, and Lord Tully joined the fight in exchange for Ned & Jon marrying his daughters. All of this was because Rhaegar's & Lyanna's marriage was illicit, violating the family rights of the Starks and Baratheons and embarrassing the Martells as well. There is no way the North, Dorne, or their allies can give Jon the throne based on being the son of Rhaegar & Lyanna. It's crapping all over the resistance to the Mad King. It would be like Queen Victoria turning around and declaring herself Queen of America, years after they fought a war to get out from under the rule of her grandfather.

S7 ending Bran: Jon is the true heir to the throne! People: OMG WHAT A TWIST I can’t wait to see Jon on the throne! s8: Hold my beer

[@ares1647]

Jon being a fucking Targaryen was a big fucking deal, yet in the s8 it was a NON-FACTOR at all, and just like in s7, this season continued with the huge time jumps, and we had to be spoon-fed with the current happenings through disastrous writing. The cast deserved better, the characters too. This season, or fuck it, last 4 seasons should just be remade.

[@Sneakyturtle18]

Ares Season 4 was still good in my opinion and season 5 was okay. Season 6 would’ve been decent if it wasn’t for the plot holes. Although I can’t defend seasons 7&8 they were just awful

Mel Howard -Bran’s story isn’t just becoming the 3 eyed raven. He is the embodiment of all stories that have occurred in the series and since the dawn of humanity. -Bran has all knowledge of all events in mankind. He can control humans and animals (most likely dragons as well). He can live in the future and past. This itself makes him a God in this universe, since he is able to see the future and can change the past to make the future what he wants it. - come on Ben lol, Arya is the last of the Starks fit to be the ruler of the 6 kingdoms. - What happened to John was predictable. He denounced all of his titles despite being the heir to the kingdom, just like the Mad King’s brother Aegon from Castleblack did. -At this point no one cares who the true heir to the throne is. They just want an actual good king. Proof is how John got named King of the North while being a bastard. -its very possible for John to have escaped Kingslanding after killing Danerys. Who knows how long it took for people to find Dany’s corpse? No one would have even suspected anything bad from John, considering him and the queen were lovers. If anything they would have thought Dany just left. It could have been days for them to find the body. - John is a loser? He saved humanity at the cost of his life basically. Coming from someone who has always did the right thing that really hits home. - Why would John be upset over going to the Nightswatch? He knows humanity is safe with Bran, who has pretty much been a God at this point

[@dannyknowlton]

When they caught up to the book they've should've STOPPED filming the whole project, and left us all hanging there salivating for more.

[@marineros2000]

and when they finished season 7, they should have made us wait 1 year instead of 2 years since what they were gonna show us was trash anyway.

Patrick Mulligan That is what I don’t get. How can someone making a claim to a throne give people positions only the true king or queen can give. That shit make me no sense. I like Gendry but Dany had no right giving him a title or land.

@@JohnJRoman-mk1ed yeah..when she got all creepy out of left field asking how he felt about Hus father leading the rebellion on her father...yes the father that led a rebillion before Gendry was born and didn't know he was even his father until recently, obviously guilty. It was like she only did that yo try and win ppl over by appearing forgiving to a crime that didn't exist and generous offering his own lands when he had a strong CLAim to the iron throne..

[@GoFeri]

No he isn't. If you're a Targaryen legitimist, you never accepted his father Robert's right to the throne. And if you accept House Baratheon's rule, then you do not accept Gendry as a trueborn Baratheon since he was legitimized by a Targaryen.

[@guywithaname5408]

​@@GoFeri If you accept that Gendry is a legitimate Baratheon and that Jon has no claim as a member of the Night's Watch, then Gendry is the heir to the Iron Throne. The reason Robert had any claim to the throne to begin with was that the Baratheons have Targaryen blood. The fact that this wasn't even mentioned in the "Kingsmoot" scene is pretty poor.
