Im tentatively coming to accept the ending with Bran as King. Its not amazing but its a compromise like Tyrion said. What makes it easier is the Evil Bran memes which make so much sense. How much did Bran have to set up to end up where he was at the end? I wish wed got to see a glimpse of it but it pretty much completely stopped telling us what Bran was thinking and stopped showing us any of his dream walking visions anymore which just feeds into the Bran is evil theory that he was up to no good.

If we make Bran is evil cannon, can we speculate on the true motivation of the Night King? Maybe he was only trying to help, to stop Bran before it was too late, in his own way and considered anyone who died collateral damage to saving the realm as a whole. The only clue we get is from Bran and the other raven- he wants to kill them. But after he succeeded what if he had just stopped?

I mean, I think its way more reasonable to think that Bran is evil only in the sense that he was willing to do whatever it took to take the throne. Maybe even that he actually agreed with Dany that lives needed to be sacrificed to bring peace to Westros. But I dont think theres anything remotely suggesting that hes evil in the sense that hes some mustache twirling villain that the Night King, of all prople, was trying to save Westros from.
