You guys seem hateful . Araya is a faceless men . She blended in with the crowd of the dead.

It's not that unbelievable. I get maybe the person you wanted to deal the killing blow didn't do it. I thought she would pretend to be bran and last moment slip her dagger into the night kings s neck as he went to grab her . It didn't happen that way . I was disappointed that doesn't mean the way she did do it , doesnt make any sense. It makes perfect sense. If you've ever been in a fight where theres so much going on .

What's more, when he grabbed Bran's arm for the equivalent of a second, he inflicted a cold burn, but strangely, Arya, who had been grabbed by the throat, came out without her. slightest injury when she should have died instantly. Not to mention the fact that she managed to squeeze through literally the entire Night King's army and generals without even being spotted, jump from heights into a flat area, and not get instantly shattered the moment she opened her mouth... Even Sam is not dead, yet surrounded by dead... Not to mention the magnificent strategy of placing the siege weapons outside the castle enclosure, of charging light cavalry against an army in a serried and compact rank, of putting the women and children in the crypt while the enemy is a necromencer...

I think adding some simple lines from the original Three Eyed Raven, during the Night King’s attack that led to Hodor’s death, would have made it so much easier to understand the Night King and it would give him an actual goal. If the Raven would’ve just explained to Bran: “I’ve passed my powers, what he seeks, onto you. He has sought after our ability for ages. If he takes our ability, he will be one step closer to becoming truly immortal. He must also destroy the Weirwood Tree he was created upon, one that you know very well” (alluding to the Godswood). The Raven then senses that the Night King draws near. “Go, now! I will stay behind and hold him off for as long as I can.” Something like that would’ve allowed the seasons to play just as they did, but would’ve given the main antagonist a true goal that was known to the audience and some of the characters until they would all come together in the final seasons. Thus making better sense that the final battle with him taking place in Winterfell. I would’ve also had Daenaerys deal with Viserion after he and the Night King had been separated so that through the teamwork of Jon, Arya, and Bran the Night King would have finally fallen.

'Game of Thrones' was merely the title of the first book in the series that the show runners decided to use for the TV series, but the intention was never supposed to be about who won the throne up until the last minute "subverting expectations" bullshit thrown in by D&D SOLELY for shock value. They confirm this when they directly stated in a recent interview after S8Ep3 aired that they read many fanfictions and fan theories about what was going to happen and instead of going with what logically made sense, changed the entire plot and completely ignored all established foreshadowing ever shown in the show just to create something the audience wouldn't expect. That is the very definition of awful writing, making something shocking solely for shock value's sake, which Martin himself made fun of when he said he could "subvert expectations" by making aliens invade Westeros in his novels. If the title of 'A Song of Ice and Fire' isn't already obvious enough, I wish people that still blindly love the lack of payoff would actually pick up one of GRRM's books and learn that the main point was never about the Iron Throne but the pointlessness of war. This was not a show aimed to please fans at its beginning, it was meant to show the very real and very intense sacrifices of war amidst fantastical elements a-la the Red Wedding. In the lore of the ASOIAF universe, Azor Ahai had to kill his wife to create Lightbringer to fight off the threats presented by the Long Night, which went well beyond the White Walkers but also the cruelty of mankind. It was heavily hinted that Jon or Daenerys were Azor Ahai, meaning that either one of them would have to kill each other, the person they loved, in order to fend off the Night King. In the show, the Night King was himself once a man, cursed against his will by the Children of the Forest into being a monster, and traces of humanity could be seen in him during the Battle of Hardhome when he witnessed the death of a White Walker and again when he smiled at Daenerys after her failed attempt to burn him, indicating some type of personality beyond just being a two-dimensional villain who was evil simply for the sake of being evil. In Martin's novels, the White Walkers are much more complex than how they are portrayed on the show and were never created by the Children of the Forest as a weapon of war, but rather their own distinctive species separate from humans that felt slighted by humanity's greed and corruption, and longed to start the world anew to bring peace where there wasn't any. There was no point for the show runners to show the audience the creation of the White Walkers or the humanity of the Night King though because ultimately, they chose to make them pointless malevolent creatures. The penultimate ending of MARTIN'S version would have showed that the Night King did not simply stand for mindless destruction but had a deeper purpose for his motives to make the audience empathize with him, and Jon or Dany (as well as any of the surviving main characters) would have lost many people they cared about in order to face against him. If the White Walkers had a deeper motivation and the audience had been made privy to this, it would have made knowing who to root for that much more difficult, especially since Dany has exhibited sadistic tendencies unlike the traditional hero. Both sides would have been morally grey, and thus whoever won wouldn't have won without paying dearly for it. You don't spend 8 years hyping up Azor Ahai prophecy and White Walkers and the Night King only to have him go down quickly and easily in a battle that never made any logical sense anyway; 8,000+ years beyond the wall just to get killed by a little girl jumping off a trampoline with a butter knife made of Valyrian steel that the Night King KNEW was his weakness and KNEW that the people in Winterfell had. The show's VERY FIRST OPENING SCENE, in Season One, Episode One, were the White Walkers, long before Cersei or the Lannisters or any character that was integral was even introduced; it started with the White Walkers, it should have ended with the White Walkers. Instead, we go from all these threats that "Winter is Coming" and that the royals needed to put aside their petty feuds in face of "The Great War" to then having the Great War really not be that big of a threat after all and go back to the petty feuds between royals. The point of the White Walkers was to show that all humans, good, bad or indifferent, share the same inevitable outcome - death.

Such a let down. From the beginning, the story alluded to a mysterious, dangerous, ancient, and particularly different magic behind the Wall. This was supposed to be THE threat, the "thing" that threatened the entire of civilization so much that one King dedicated all the kingdom's resources and magic to create a deterrent, a literal magic Wall to keep them out. At the end, "winter is coming" meant absolutely nothing. It was the stupidest resolution to have the King not only have a stupid weakness, stupid to have the King die when his obvious power was to "bring the dead to life" lol (stupid that you think you can kill something that is not alive), and stupid to make invest in a story where "killing" such King automatically destroys all its dominion (seen this so many times in anime, movies. The concept of the hive queen. Never liked it and stupid to include it here).

Well everyone keeps saying that White Walker had been around for a thousand years before Daemon, yes that is true and they are a slave to the children of the forest, so this is my theory and it might sound crazy to all of you, but I think Daemon is the night king, remember white walker is leaderless and a puppet to the children of the forest, what I think is the children of the forest saw the battle between the uncle and nephew at "God Eyes" and they recovered their body then turned them into a white walker, but Daemon did not lose his memories instead he is conscious and aware to what happened so he became the leader of the leaderless White Walker and started the rebellion against the children of the forest. Daemon is the first Night King and his right hand is Aemond "I might be wrong about Aemond because they recovered his body later on", but as you can see all the long-haired White Walkers resembled Targaryen, probably those are his sons to Rhaenary and Nephews, Cousins. He turned their corpse into white walkers. Do no forget that In the book, they never mention that Children of the forest created a Night King but they mention creating the 1st White Walker as a weapon. My suspect is they fuckedup creating Daemon as a White Walker because his will to become a king one day is very strong, and that his consciousness remains even after dying and turning into a White Walker. Being aware of the situation he started the rebellion against the children of the forest and finally become the King of the north "His dream". It is funny because Daemond wanted to become a King and unites the kingdom, he kinda did it, in GoT series, he successfully united everyone against him. 100% Daemon is the Night King, why would the creator of this series jump into HOTD instead of going back to the "The Conquest" Aegon I story. Because GoT left us so many questions and plotholes and HOTD will answer all of that! they left us with questions like who the fuck is the Night King? Yep, "Daemon".

[@timomastosalo]

Nightking killed Theon with ease. And Theon had just killed loads of wights and maybe White Walkers. It wasn't a good fight because Theon was nowhere near a match. And Arya surprised him. He even stopped the first surprise (which looked like one more easy fight for him), he fell for his arrogance, underestimated the opponent. Maybe he wasn't such a fighter, because he had never really needed to. He usually just pulled those power moves, was OP in any confrontation. And his captains did the most hand to hand fights where their fudder couldn't overrun the enemies. So paradoxically, because he had never much needed them, his skills didn't evolve :)

[@danrodrigues3531]

The episode when we are first introduced to the Night King, he turns a baby into a White Walker, and it just occurred to me, who does it fall upon to raise this brand new White Walker? Does this person have the patience to deal with an infant White Walker's 'terrible twos'? Or their adolescence? That's got to be a handful having to deal with a hormonal 13 year old White Walker.

[@BigDapPacino]

The Knight's King/13th commander of the Watch was a Stark and probably named Brandon from the stories of Old Nan that were told to Bran before he became the 3 Eyed Raven...and the Knight King is hinted at...possibly being a Stark...my theory was the knight King was going to attack Winterfell and go down into the crypts to retrieve the Knight Queen....because Bran the Builder and his allies entombed her....and chained her....since Winterfell was possibly built over Hot Springs or some natural occurence that keeps the crypts warm...at first , I thought a dragon was down there.....according to Old Nan, the 13th Commander and Bran were Brothers, some people have said that they might have been half Brothers and the 13th Commander was the Bastard born to the Stark girl from the Tale of the Bard story and his name was Jon Snow....his half Brother being Bran The builder...but all of this elaborate theorizing has been for naught....one of the most mysterious and intriguing characters was taken down by someone who is barely 5 foot tall ...not Jon Snow, the Hound, Jaimie Lannister, or Brienne...even the dude with the flaming sword got taken down ....Arya Stark killed the greatest threat to Westeros humanity other than Cersi...it felt like a premature ejacualation !

The problem with purposely being unpredictable is that it ended up being predictable almost felt like they didn't have the money to do things like azora high and his flaming magic sword or return of the Starks from the crypts and used the unpredictability as an excuse to save money the night kings death was a perfect example .

Ayra didn't 'kill' the night king like a boss - he reached Bran in time to warg. Whatever direction GRR takes the story will be fine by me.
