.................. That's exactly what he did though.
He had to rewrite his opening and closing parodies to make them sillier than the real thing. Give him time.
All I'm saying is until the castle was completely overrun one arrow would take him or his dragon out so why bother.
Sansa was already opposed to Dany, she just used it against her. Also it's hilarious that Dany in her final scene suddenly had no issues whatsoever with Jon being the heir and was telling him they'll do it together.
Even tho one of Varys' main issues was that they wouldn't do it together because she wouldn't be up for that lol.
Varys expressed concern that even if she ruled with Jon she would bend him to her will.
To be fair, when Tyrion was talking to Jon, Jon was doing a good job, at first, convincing himself Dany had no choice. And Tyrion pointed out Jon would talk himself into going along with her because he loved her.
No idea. Bran barely did anything besides sitting on his ass this season.
Varys knew what he was doing, he wanted Jon on the throne because then he would bend his will :P.
The writers really had no idea what to do with him.
I'm certain Bran will end up King in GRRM's books, but of course he will be fleshed out far more. He may even be nefarious in nature.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that no one here thinks Bran deserves to be king.

Because Drogon was the only fully grown and matured dragon.
The other two were stunted in the the dungeon.
And it seemed like Drogon's fire was amplified by Dany's rage.
Yeah, the interesting thing about Three-Eyed Crow and the Old Gods is that no one knows whether they stand for or against the Others.
My thought on this was that since she just lost Tyrion she didn't want to lose Jon as well. At this point she really doesn't have anyone who she can really trust aside from GW so she was trying to keep Jon around.
How much more power do you need? He also punches a massive hole clean through one of Winterfell's walls with just one quick flyby. NK was a dummy. Could have won this war if he didn't pull an Oberyn.

mb he ran out idk that was ice, mb it only works on ice

It's been implied--and bungled about with questionable writing, but still mostly intact--that time is a closed loop in Game of Thrones. The obvious example being Hodor: even "before" Bran projected back through time and broke Hodor, Hodor was always broken, because events Bran will do in the past he already has done in the past. Basically, he has no agency; he can see the shape of time and is more aware than anyone that nothing he does can ever change the course of it.
That is, presumably, what he means when he asks, "Why do you think I came all this way?" Not, "This is what I've wanted and I've manipulated events to make it happen," but rather, "I never had any choice, none of us did. This was always going to happen."
That's why he doesn't "want", because he knows what he wants doesn't actually matter. He gets what he gets, what he's always gotten and always will have gotten, and there's not a thing he can do to change that.
(Now, whether the writing of this is consistent...)
Emilia Clarke and Ramin Djawadi carried this season. I haven't seen an actor/composer combo carry a nuclear trashfire script this hard since Ewan McGregor and John Williams in the Star Wars prequels.
I wish they had moved things around and kept Robb in the show for a few more seasons before the Red Wedding.
Ok, we'll change it to "we know he's known he'd be king for a long time". None of this describes a motivation. None of it describes why "we need to tell him [Jon]" about his background, why any of it matters, why the end result of Bran being king even matters to him. "Why do you think I came all this way"? No one fucking knows. And yet every asshole around him voted him for completely nonsensical reasons.
Like what even happens now that he's king? Where are his visions leading him from here?
Right, but even the show-original content in the early seasons were so much better. Thinking of the Tywin/Arya scenes, the Tywin introduction scene where he's butchering a stag, etc. There just wasn't anything like in that later seasons. The only thing I can think of is the R+L=J reveal.
Everything else just felt...bland.
"Hey, guys, have fun running the kingdoms, imma go play dragon sim VR zzzzzzzz"
that dragon put a big ass hole in winterfell if you remember. Which was weird because for some bizzare reason Jon was hiding behind the wall and a stone but the same dragon couldn't do anything?
Would you have a beer with Bran: No
Bobby B: Of course
And Bobby B doesn't have creepy superpowers either.
Bobby B wins a super rout.
This is the kind of stuff that separates these later seasons from the first where Ned stark suffers an injury to his leg which seriously hinders him, or where an infection from a relatively superficial wound causes Khal Drogo to die.
Magic returned to the world post season 1 so its okay.
Someone legit used them as a defense when I brought up that criticism when Arya survived getting gutted and falling into dirty shit water
Vyserion's throat was ripped open and leaking fire juice. He couldn't generate enough force/heat to explode stone. It's science.
Alternative explanation:
The real question is if the fire would have done anything to Jon, since he's a Targ.
They made sure to show that he's weak to fire in season 1.
He also didn't "want" the throne, would fuck off searching for dragons or hunting boars. Which is supposed to make a great leader or something
I'm still stunned that we had a bunch of white walkers and a bunch of people with Valyrian steel swords and we didn't get a single fight scene in the Battle of Winterfell.
Also the entire White Walker storyline boiling down to the "kill the boss and his army dies" climax that blockbuster films fall back on. Tragic bullshit.
ETA: Upon reflection of the entire season/series, Jaime should have died at Winterfell. Also Sam.

That's what I'm saying: he doesn't really have a motivation. That's what it means to not want. He does things because he's seen that they're the things that are going to happen, and doesn't really care about how or why because he knows he doesn't have agency over them.
He "came all this way" to be crowned because it's what was always going to happen, regardless of how he felt about it or what he tried to do to stop it. The only time he really deviates from this sort of indifference is when it comes to Jon, which is likely Old Bran sneaking through the detached disinterest; he knows Sam telling Jon won't make him any happier, but he does it anyway. He knows what happens when Sansa finds out, but he does it when Jon asks anyway. The "courtesy" of pretending like anyone involved has any choice in the affair is Baby Bran screaming in the prison of his own mind "maybe they'll say 'no' and this shit won't happen!" but of course, it all transpires exactly like it always had to.
Now, again, I don't know how well the show's writers grasp this. I have a feeling everything to do with the greensight was explained very carefully to them, and they either didn't entirely understand or very much didn't like it. (And I wouldn't even be that surprised if, when Martin reaches that point in the story, he realizes he doesn't particularly like it, either.)
YES
that would have been incredible. Bran wins, reveals long game plan. Final shot is him riding Drogon on a victory lap over the seven kingdoms. Or eight, if we count the True North as one too.
well, at the very least they copied the fist shot of the pilot where the wildlings / soldiers were running from the north / WW.
The problem of course is that the show made it as if the real threat was never the WW / NK to begin with.
You can tell by the soundtrack that they definitely were going for episode 3 to be "the end" though (the night king theme in particular). Not sure why they flipped it around, but the post-mortem on this season should be a great case-study for people who want to create similar 'fiction with a bible' adaptations at least.
blue fire is hotter and more intense than yellow fire. just because he was smaller certainly does not mean he was not as capable of as much destruction as Drogon.
Take this with a grain of salt, but one of the leakers on freefolk that leaked a ton of prop pics said that he saw a scene being filmed in which Jaime dies in Brienne arms. Might of been one of those fake scenes shot to throw off the extras. Either way, thats what should've happened.
