A head canon that significantly improves the last seasons of GoT is that everyone who acts out of character is being possessed by Bran, who's looked into the future and is engineering the 1 in a million timeline in which he ends up as king
Yeah but then you have to alter Bran's character such that he is basically pure evil and motivated by ambition alone. When he's really a super chill dude who loves his Hodor.
@@davidmanchester8978well I mean be a becoming the 3 eyes raven already fucks him massively, and that doesn’t feel like something that couldn’t happen in the books.
@@davidmanchester8978I mean yeah, that’s how the show portrayed him. “Why do you think I came all this way,” bro literally knew the whole time 🤣 show is dumb
@@NotoriousMinion That's the worst part, even if earlier seasons weren't exactly fine art, the characters at least had clearly defined motivation for the most part. Then in the last season Dany goes from a pretty well adjusted person with some heavy trauma to a psycho in what feels like 20 minutes lol.
7:13 the thing is that GRRM has said he’s not 100% anti war and that ‘some’ do need to be fought (like WWII) and I think the white walkers fit that well. That this is a war against a truly evil power that wants to at surface level dominate humanity
Funnily enough the super pragmatic greenseer killing/disappaering anyone who could cause an issue to the throne is pretty much what Brynden Rivers (the three eyed crow / Bloodraven) was whilst he was Hand of the King. However, he was nowhere near as powerful as Bran is presented in Season 8 and his murdering of any Blackfyres he could get his hands on eventually lead to him being exiled to the wall.
My favourite theory is that the one-eyed raven is actually the true evil tyrant who seeks to control and dominate all men and the white walkers where created by the wildlings to defeat the tyrant and so the white walkers true purpose is to prevent this.
Personally, the issue for me is that the war against the Night King is constantly built up as the only war that truly matters. All the other conflicts are just distractions that make it harder to win that war, and if they can't put aside their differences to win that war, they will all die. So the fact the fate of the world came down to one battle at Winterfell for not clear reason, and it was all handled by one group of people who were already allies, really detracted from the themes the show had been building on. Not to mention how the side that solely took the brunt of the army of the dead was able to beat them and then go on to win against Cersei in King's Landing. It really makes the Night King out to be no threat really with how little it inconvenienced anyone.
Tom&Ben's pitch meetings are too good to be lost to the aether.

I like how they recreate Paul Atreides but in game of Thrones for Bran.
Since they're talking about an immortal god emperor, it's actually Leto Atreides II
When Ben said the wall from Westeros, I had expected him to say a red wedding themed table
Edit: ok he did make a mention to it after
I need a Tom and Ben podcast

I want GoT Minority Report so badly.
Kickstart it 😆😆
Why not just posses the people themselves and make them have "accidents"
Could I make a suggestion for a video?
I've got a Twitch clip of it, but Idk if the link will get blocked
TH-cam is 50/50 when it come to links. Feel free to try. “Spin the wheel”
