>Gets assassinated by either a Tyrell or Baratheon branch five minutes after the show ends in your path
>>219853504He was one of the most cunning and low-key underrated masterminds on the show. He had the biggest rise to power of anyone. I wouldn't put it past him to stab that little cripple in the back and solo every faggot sitting with their Starbucks cup at the end.
>>219853504>show where "omg literally anyone can die, so suspenseful wow">show where "good and evil is irrelevant to survival, what matters is how smart and savvy you are">almost every fan favorite or even vaguely likable character that's alive by Season 5 survives to the end of the show and attains great riches and/or power>quite literally every single evil or "crowd loves to hate them" character is dead by the final episodehack writers
>>219853504The end acts like all the conflict is over and only peace from now on. But the entire kingdom is in ruins, they have no food, the peasants are dead, and everyone is playing the game of thrones again trying to snatch whatever power they can. Bran is still surrounded by untrustworthy vipers and has no family watching his back whatsoever since Arya ran off to go die at sea. She didn't even go to help her sister Sansa who is also all alone trying to rebuild a broken Northern kingdom. Didn't even go help Jon rebuild the Night's Watch. Family is so important? Yeah right, what cunts.
>>219853689i loved bronn but i was fucking pissed when he didn't die during the battle vs dany's dragons. it made sense for him to go then. shit, even jaime dying during that would have been kino
>>219853563The super powered body jumping criple? Yeah good luck with that
>>219853713It’s immensely funny how Rhaegal dying by Jaime’s sword would have been 100,000 times better than being killed by Euron’s warping fleet.
Bronn worked hard and made good choices. He was never evil. I was glad he won.
>>219853563>on the showin the book, faggot. he's not getting assassinated by shit.
>>219853689The anyone can die bit was so overblown. In reality only Ned and Robb were a big deal. Every other main character made it to the endgame. Joffrey, Tywin, etc were just secondary antagonists that weren't ever going to make it.
>>219853840It was not overblown. You're dumb.
>>219853963Ned, Robb and Catelyn, and Dany were the only characters killed off who could credibly be considered primary protagonists. Over 8 fucking seasons. And Dany's death was telegraphed from a mile away so it barely even counts.
>>219853963None of the heroes die in seasons 5-7.Every fan favorite survives to season 8.They even revive the Hound and Jon.
I’m rewatching the show, and it’s astonishing how many characters you grow fond of are killed unceremoniously. So yeah, that anon has no clue what he’s talking about. Yoren, Jorah Mormont, Ygritte, etc., etc. So yeah, Bronn, Brienne, and many others surviving the war against the Night King is pure bullshit lol
>>219853504>Bran is named KingRest of the realm is like wtf what? There was an improtu grand council started by a kinslaying dwarf who just destoryed King's Landing during his trail for treason and the council was made up of 90% Stark Family and friends, don't worry about it! Yeah he made a disloyal sellsword lord of the most powerful region in Westeros, dont worry about it. He's handling all our finances now too. Yeah he granted the North Independence, (don't you get any ideas Iron Islands and Dorne) depriving him of his bannermen and leaving him a army-less King, don't worry about. He's still King, don't get any ideas. Yeah he made that kinslaying dwarf who just destroyed King's Landing and is hated by everyone the most powerful person int he Kingdom. Don't worry about it. Yeah the oathbreaking nights watchmen who stole from the citadel and has almost no training is Grandmaester, Citadel won't be mad. Don't worry about it. >North is independent. Robb declared independence and was usurped within a year. The Botlons effectively declared independence and were usurped within a year. Sansa will be fine, she's a great leader and diplomat. Don't worry about it. Oh yeah, House Glover did abandon you on the cusp of war, you probably need to deal with that. Nothign bad will probably happen though. >Arya sails West. I'm sure she'll be fine.
Remember when Bronn didn't know what a loan was?
>>219853704The anon above you said hack writers and I'm inclined to agree.
>>219854446the battle against the walkers at winterfell was one of the worst parts of the entire series. so funny how they kept setting up a character being surrounded and completely fucked to just cut away and when they came back they were somehow still alive
>>219854020Catlynn not getting her resurrected hangwoman side story from the books was a crime.
>>219854565Jesus Christ. You could write an entire book about how the show stripped away its political depth and reduced it to soap opera levels.
>>219854565Bloodraven is magic though and can see the future. He wouldn't have become king if he didn't know it would lead to the Golden Path.
>>219853504i remember seeing a thread talking all about this once. it's kind of funny that he thinks he could have the Reach and Highgarden and people would just let him have it. he'd be so fucked
>>219853504Good guys>SansaGets to be Queen, gains her independence. Basically achieving a life long dream. >AryaGet's super powers, gets to avenge her family, saves the world, is free to explore and live her dreams. >BranAll knowing god like being that is King. The show gives us no fucking clue what his plans and motivations are so I guess it's a good ending? >BrienneBreaks the glass ceiling, not only knighted by holds basically the most prestigious knightly position you can have. >BronGets the best castle in Westeros>TyrionGets his favourite job back and one of the few things that made him happy. >SamA grandmaester who is also a nights watchman who also gets to break both of his oaths and have a family. For the most part, their endings are Disney as fuck. Everyone out there is achieving life long dreams, saving the world, coming out of it mostly unscathed despite the crazy ass odds. Bad guys>Night KingDies and his army vanishes into thin air>CerseiDies and her army basically vanishes into thin air>DaenerysDies and her army basically vanishes into thin air. Middle of the road>Jon SnowNaive PTSD Zombie man. Kills the women he loves but is kept alive for like a month by his enemies so his own family can decide what to do with him.... They're decision is to send him to hang out with his friends... His enemies are cool with this and leave without any trouble.I put him in the middle cause honestly he's such a sad sack being executed might of made him happier.
The smallfolk tore people limb from limb, killed the High Septon, and nearly killed their king and queen regent because of rumors about Joffrey being a bastard. But yeah, I’m sure a random Stark being crowned king will go just fine.
>>219854746>sad sack being executed might of made him happier.I'd give him a happy ending. Reunited with Ghost and his wildling lovers and its implied he's the king beyond the wall.
>>219853840It's not really even that subversive. Jon Snow is clearly meant to be the main protagonist and hero of the story and any real payoff or satisfying conclusion of the narrative just works considerably better if he wins and becomes King at the end.
I read the final season leaks months before it aired, and I still can’t stress this enough, I didn’t believe them because they were the most ridiculous RETARDED finale I’d ever read.
Why does the Shite King want to Kill Bran/Three-Eyed Raven when it literally poses no threat to him at all?
>>219853504>7 seasons detailing how power hungry all of Westeros is. Everyone is willing to manipulate, fight and kill and start wars to gain more power. >prequel about people starting wars over the throne and the struggle of keeping it>long in universe history about everyone fighting over the throne. >hundreds of episodes of the TV show, millions of written words on the sheer difficulty and struggle that is required to gain and hold onto power. Show ends with what would likely be the most hated person in Westeros being like hey this character nobody cares about or knows should be King and everyone in Westeros is like 'yea sure that seems cool'
>>219853504Nah, the nobs can't touch my boy Bronn, he's got street smarts and runs circles around them.
>>219854761Actually, yeah. That does seem more plausible. The Starks are viewed as a great house and there are two occasions where they could have taken the throne themselves if they wanted. Three if you count what Ned *could* have done. I actually think Littlefinger would have backed Ned if he did what he suggested.
>>219854761>>219855066Sorry also meant to contrast that with a bastard born of incest. They would view him as abomination, not just another noble from a great house.
>>219855066I never understood how the Iron Throne was there for Ned's taking just because he was the first to show up there to find Jamie sitting there over Aerys' freshly slain body.
>>219855126I never understood why it was "Robert's Rebellion" when it was Ned's dad and brother being murdered that started it.
>>219855126I used "there" 3x in one sentence. Just awful.
There is no way the houses of the reach that had been there since its beginning were gonna be fine with Bronn being their leader, they have every right to revolt and Brann doesnt have his northern armies to subdue them or anything
>>219855126I assume the argument was more he was the commander of the force that had the city, but I may just be rationalizing why from remembering the "you could have taken it" part you're talking about.
>>219855153Because Robert led it, duh.
>>219855153I actually think it was a thing referenced to that it very easily could have been Ned's Rebellion if he had wanted it to be so, but again I may be reading too much into stuff.
>>219855153>I never understood why it was "Robert's Rebellion" when it was Ned's dad and brother being murdered that started it.Robert led it. It's also a bit of retroactive naming since Robert was the one who was named King mostly because his Targ family history added legitimacy to the claim.
>>219855153That was part of it, that isn't what started it. Robert believed Rhaegar kidnapped his betrothed, Lyanna Stark. Robert called the banners of Storm's End before Ned ever made a move, Ned and Jon Arryn followed Robert's lead.
>>219855153That prompted it, and Jon Arryn started it. But Robert was the one who took the throne so the rebellion has his name.
>>219855260>It's also a bit of retroactive naming since Robert was the one who was named King mostly because his Targ family history added legitimacy to the claim.>Well fuck, we actually overthrew the government. What now?>Well Bob's grandma was married to the President's mother's uncle.>Sounds like you're in charge, Bob.Hopefully soon this will scenario soon will play out all over the West.
>>219854746How is John snow not a good guy
>>219855433>How is John snow not a good guyi guess i kinda fucked up with that. i meant more his ending was more in in the middle of the road since he's pretty fucked up, but he also gets to hand out with his buds, but also he has no agency in that decision.
>>219853563At least as presented in the show, he’s orders of magnitude slicker than Littlefinger. And he can fucking fight.
>>219853761Fucking A.
>>219854639That pissed me off so fucking bad.
>>219853840Catelyn was a bigger deal than Robb
>>219853504The issue is you got hooked by season 1 which was mostly faithful to the book and after that it's just dabid crayone fanfic.Bronn is supposed to get a minor lordship
