It's baffling that NCW, GRRM, and anyone else connected with the show seem to be unaware of the difference between fans responding to nonsensical writing and fans simply not liking a particular outcome.

http://collider.com/why-did-jon-kill-dany-game-of-thrones-finale/ Clarke saying, "Um, he just doesn't like women does he? He keeps fucking killing them" is amusing.

The best ending would have been Sansa, as Queen of the North, has to behead Jon for deserting the Wall to live with the wildings. She could quote Ned about swinging the sword. Bran could watch as he tells Jon thank you for telling me not to look away all those years ago.

The Night King, Jon's parentage, Dany being fireproof and birthing dragons, Bran becoming the 3ER, all the skills Arya learned, and direwolves all seem like a great story that becomes pointless. It was never more than a Game of Thrones between the Lannisters and Tyrion prevailed if he's the one who ends up ruling.

https://wikiofthrones.com/25533/emilia-clarke-reveals-she-knew-daenerys-targaryens-plot-twist-for-two-years/ If she knew for two years I'm not sure why reading the script messed her up so much.

It will be interesting to see if they give Dany any moments of remorse or if that part of her is completely lost. Martin would have given POV and not having that makes it so much harder for so many to reconcile it in so few episodes. It's understandable that those who have loved her character struggle with this.

Bran being evil would be interesting. So much time was devoted to the NK/Others and Dany and the dragons but not Bran after he becomes the 3ER. Since Bran is the only one of those storylines left when Dany and possibly Drogon are dead, it has to mean something to Martin at least. D&D have made Bran as mysterious as possible with all the sitting, staring, and throwing out a few lines to show he knows something. They carefully make sure no one spends any time with him except Tyrion but won't reveal what was said. I keep thinking they must be saving some moment to show how clever they are in surprising us. Bran being King makes no sense based on what we've been shown. It would surprise me if Bran is just evil and has been plotting to get on the throne for that reason. But, that would be too much like Dany suddenly goes crazy. I want him to have more purpose than that.

Maybe Bran's usefulness isn't about being King but his role in destroying Fire and Ice. He was involved in the Night King's death and Dany and Dragons would be the other. It's hard to believe he's evil or that he'd be a traditional King and but maybe a manipulator. That's the only way his role would be at all interesting. I loved his storyline in the books and D&D make him look idiotic so hopefully that's more about them than about Martin intended for the 3ER. They gave the NK death to Arya so maybe it's because Jon has to be the one to destroy the other.

Bran manipulating events so that Jon kills Dany and then dies would work. Maybe Bran will remind him of his warging abilities and gives him time to hop into Ghost. Then he gets to go to the North and reunite with Tormund. It's not quite like petting Ghost but close enough.

Jon killing Dany with most of the main characters surviving seems too neatly wrapped up. Bran manipulating events is the only ending that would be satisfying to me at this point.

Maybe HBO will do a Game of Thrones interactive show like Black Mirror: Bandersnatch to prolong the agony for fans

Thanks. In reading all the different thoughts about Dany and others, it's been helpful in considering that my way of describing her in a sentence or two wasn't fair. She was well fleshed out with good traits, the ability to show love and vulnerability, and a desire to be a good leader. There was a great deal of inner struggle going on for her and times I cheered for her and times I worried about how ruthless she might become in her desire for the IT.

Thanks. This is a fascinating way of viewing Bran. I enjoyed Bran's story in the books and explaining Bran's ability during the last episode would make him much more interesting.

True enough for GRRM. I'm just not convinced that he would give Cersei and Jaime the same way of dying but in some sort of twisted way maybe this counts as her brothers being involved in her death.

If you're asking if I think the books gave her power through the dragons that she wouldn't have had otherwise, then yes. However, I never viewed her as evil or thought she was capable of using her dragons to slaughter innocent people needlessly when if she won the IT.
