BlueBoy675 05/14/19 1:07:47 PM #1:	Dude arguably has the most boring arc in the show. The payoff is that he now has these incredible supernatural abilities that they barely even utilize. The dude literally doesnt do anything except use his powers to say little one liners that make the other characters uncomfortable. What was the fucking point of this character? Was his entire arc literally just so he could say Jon is a Targaryen? --- Hope rides alone <cite>BlueBoy675 posted [p:921882247] in Is Bran th...

BlueBoy675 05/14/19 1:13:42 PM #4:	And then there was the Long Night episode. So you think that Bran is going to have some integral role in defeating the Night King, seeing as hes been branded by him and his entire arc has been about the NK and his connection to him. But no. What does he do? Wargs into some birds and flies around for a bit. Thats it. --- Hope rides alone <cite>BlueBoy675 posted [p:921882488] in Is Bran th...

AngelsNAirwav3s 05/14/19 1:19:25 PM #9:	The White Walkers and the Night King were the most pointless. At least Bran was integral to the plot for the first 2 seasons. They could have completely left the White Walkers out of the show and nothing would have changed. After episode 3 I thought the Night King's purpose was to nerf Dany's army so Cersei would have a little bit of a chance and there would be some tension. Totally lame conclusion to the WW arc, but at least it had a purpose. But nope, it was still just a total one sided stomping lol. Actually genocide is the more accurate term. --- Hello world! <cite>AngelsNAirwav3s posted [p:921882761] in Is Bran th...

COVxy 05/14/19 1:23:35 PM #12:	Rushed and out of character are literally the same point. Like everything else the past couple of seasons, the writers have reasonable plot points/character development, but have no one guiding them how to get there.

BlueBoy675 05/14/19 1:36:13 PM #16:	Yes Daenerys has had violent impulses, but she has a big heart which is what keeps her in check. Remember when Drogon burned a single peasant child and Dany was so mortified by it that she locked up the remaining two dragons, her children, out of guilt? She has never enjoyed hurting people. Shes a queen of the people. Thats her character. Whenever she has forced her hand in the past it was justified.
