I don't get all the talks about Bran being the NK. Like, when did that start becoming a thing / theory in the show and why?

I genuinely think it is just because the night king kind of looks like him. There is just no legitimate reason to think that Bran is a character that doesn't even exist in the books or is somehow in control of the white walkers. They are just old magical weapons of the children of the forest that have re-awakened, with fire magic like the dragons and the lord of light seemingly returning around the same time. The question is what triggered the return of magic, which had seemingly been dormant in Westeros. People have theories but we don't really know.
