Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 6 Bran Stark named King of the Six Kingdoms Thank you to all of you who came together to produce such an amazing show credits to HBO Credits to entire cast of Game of
“Why do you think I came all this way” That means Bran knew the Game of Thrones ending before anyone else. No wonder he became so detached and emotionless.
Sansa: You're father's last trueborn living son. You're Lord of Winterfell now. Bran: I can never be Lord of Winterfell I can never be Lord of anything. I am the three eyed raven. Tyrion: Will you wear the crown? Also Bran: Why do you think I came all this way? LMAO
lol "Kings shall be decided not by birth but on this spot by the lords and ladies of Westeros" also "All hail Bran the Broken...FIRST OF THIS NAME"...WHAT DID WE JUST SAY?!
@@blletm6029 majority of the army that was fighting in that war was Daenerys’ army as she had 10x the bigger army than the North so no that’s not an excuse. We had an entire storyline in S6 of the independence of the Iron Islands just for them to still be apart of the kingdoms in the end that’s terrible writing
@@daniscottxo Only kingdom who stood up for westeros was north(mb some from the vale, but they dont mind being union) dont matter if majority was unsullied or dothraki. North took the hit for the rest. This is not where the writing went wrong, it actually make sens
@@blletm6029 it is terrible writing bc that wasn’t even the reason why Sansa asked for an independent kingdom she asked it bc she didn’t want a southern ruler to rule over the North (which doesn’t make sense bc the “southern ruler” was literally Bran Stark a northerner) so how is that Yara didn’t ask for independence when it was her and the Ironborn’s storyline in S6 and onwards it doesn’t make sense the writing doesn’t make sense
I remember hearing someone describe this ending like this: It's like Aragorn was offered the crown and said "No, I don't want it." So they asked The Mouth of Sauron, and he recommended the palantir, so they made the fucking crystal ball the new king.
@@justinbergeron5997 It also had a better story. It waa forged in Numenor to help the Numenorean's keep watch over their kingdom. It was lost for centuries before being found by Saruman. He used it to spy on Sauron, but Sauron was able to influence him through it and corrupt him. After Saruman's death, Aragorn, last descendant of the kings of Numenor, wrested control of it from Sauron, and used it to trick the Dark Lord into focusing his armies on Aragorn, allowing Frodo time to get to Mount Doom and for the One Ring to be destroyed. Much more interesting than the boy with no emotions whose only memorable scene was telling someone to hold the door.
I wonder if they were aware of the irony when they were writing the script for this scene. Dumb and Dumber really screwed us, the fans, when they did seasons 6 to 8.
@@Yes-dy3nx Another apologist. Even with all that terrible storytelling, Jon Snow killed an actual White Walker, saved the North from a Wildling invasion, united the Night's Watch with their sworn enemies of thousands of years, literally rose from the dead, united all manner of people and factions across the continent and helped put an end the second coming of the Long Night that saw the final destruction of the White Walkers afawk. But OK I guess 🤷♂️, a crippled boy was carried up North so he could sit under a tree for 4 seasons and get most of the people and animals that helped him there killed because he was disobedient 🤷♂️. Great story. The most powerful and knowledgeable? No. No he is not. He can see the past, present and perhaps glimpses of the future. So? If everyone turns against him, what exactly will he be able to do about it? Nothing. So knowledgeable that he allowed a man that knows nothing about anything other than fighting to be put in charge of the most fertile and wealthy of the Seven Kingdoms following a war that no doubt left the vast majority of the commonfolk hungry and destitute. A commoner cutthroat with no supporters or loyalists in a Kingdom full of proud families with long histories, including the still powerful and fresh Hightowers in Old Town. So knowledgeable that he let the North go free, even though many of the remaining 6 Kingdoms would be eager to do the same, especially the always rebellious Ironborn. So knowledgeable that he allowed both of his most capable siblings and literal heroes of the War for the Dawn leave to travel far away instead of keeping them where they can be useful. So knowledgeable that he literally has nobody of any worth left to actually protect him in King's Landing. So knowledgeable that he doesn't realise that he has allowed Westeros to become a house of cards at best and a powder keg just waiting for a match at worst. If he _does_ have the level of power you think he does, he is not very good at using them. Further evidenced by his only contribution to the Second War for the Dawn being... checks notes... telling people things they already know in an unnecessarily cryptic manner and... warging into a flock of crows when there were literal dragons about. In other words, even if I accept that belief, his "power" is a hacky tool used by Dan & Dave to justify all their terrible decisions with the ability to say "no, this very obvious repercussion for this this and this won't happen, because Bran..." 😂 gtfoh
@@Yes-dy3nx Pathetic. Don't then 🤷♂️. You came to try and argue and now because you have nothing of actual worth to say you're trying to take the imaginary highroad out. I'm a writer, I don't find it difficult to write or read less than 500 words in under 2 minutes. And yes I'm invested in calling out bad writing every day of the week 🤣
@@Yes-dy3nx yes... that was the point sweetheart. I'm mocking your SM addiction and the way it's conditioned you to think less than 500 words of text takes a long time to type or read. "I'm done here", and you still came back with 2 replies. Grow up 😂
A northener is declared king of the seven kingdoms. His first action is to give independence to the kingdom he was born in, and no one says anything? How does this make sense?
Tyrion, a prisoner of the Queen Danerys with his handcuffs suggests Bran to be king. Grey Worm: Loyal servant of the Queen, has no problem with Tyrion's suggestion, who is the de facto commander of Queen's huge army. Bran who didn't want lordship, now suddenly wants to become King. Bran becomes King. Everyone hails. Sansa: Bro, take 6. Give Winterfell to me. Everyone else: 'k, no probs. Yara: Wait, what? Random Dorne Prince: Forgets to declare them independent too which is literally in their motto "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken". D&D: Okay, that's enough. Let's end this scene here. So much things are wrong.
Sansa was in the meeting discussing who should be on the Iron throne.... until.... her brother GOT the Iron throne, after which she claims independence which jeopardizes the Stark on the Iron Thrones. She is really STUPID and DISRESPECTFUL.
If someone made me watch this scene when Game of Thrones was still in its fourth season I would have legit believed this was one of those spoofs the film crew makes when they’ve got the time and resources to have a little fun of their own.
I honestly wish that Cersei had just slaughtered everyone and ruled the world as a spiteful and vicious dictator. Instead we got Bran the “why do you think I came all this way” Broken
And i sincerely wish night king would have slaughtered all these fools and turned them into zombies including D and D. Still much better ending and leaves a cliffhanger for future.
@@sosukeaizen7562 Yes, but it would be much more in line with Game if Thrones and would open up a sequel... instead they "killed" Daenerys and declared crip boy King.
- So, you're the three eyed raven now bran, you see everything? - yes everything - so, you saw danny going crazy and killing hundreds of thousand of people? - yes - and you didn't say anything? - no, of course not. How else would I become king??? - ah true, fair enough.. wait what?
"There's nothing in the world more powerful than a good story. Nothing can stop it" - One of the wisest man in the Westeros literally one episode after Drogon massacred whole of King's Landing.
Aryas face at :21 seconds… “What?? Literally anyone has a better story than Bran..even Jojen” I was Tywins cup bearer, befriends a faceless man, tricked him into murder, traveled with the hound , barely escaped massacre at the Red Wedding traveled to Be trained by them, learned to wear multiple faces, murdered house Frey and killed the night king single handily” Tyrion: yeah but he fells out a tower and lived
_"There's nothing in the world more powerful than a good story"_ _"Except . . . an Apache helicopter. An Apache helicopter has machine guns AND missiles. It is an unbelievably impressive complement of weaponry. An absolute death machine."_
Lol. I'd like to see what Bran will do if someday another war broke in. Will he tell a story or say: "I don't want the crown, I'm the 100 eyes ravan again."
Pretty sure this won't sit well with the Iron Islands or Dorne in about 2 seconds after the meeting off screen. Then again, stopping an undead king and an army of death does kind of give a good sympathy vote.
Its so sad as well bc Bran had the potential to be a pivotal character in season 8 when it came to the battle of winterfell, the way everything was set up for him the entire show, all for absolutely nothing.
Makes sense that he became king, even if it isn't well constructed. Because of the things Tyrion said. Dosen't makes sense that he said before that he can't be king and now he says that he is there for that... But still the best king imo.
2:29 - Try and convince me that John Bradley isn't laughing at the pure stupidity of the showrunners making Bran the King of Westeros. He looked right into the camera and broke character. And I don't blame him.
Yes this! Tyrion mentioned all these things Bran could do and did. But Tyrion didn't put it together that Bran can see and experience past events. Giving him the exact knowledge of how to win the Game of Thrones. This means that he is just as cruel as any of the other past kings maybe worse because he's been using people that trusted him especially his close family just so he could become king.
@@GTA6VIGameguy That’s an extremely interesting way of seeing it, I never viewed bran as vicious or after the throne but now that you say that I can totally see it.
@@GTA6VIGameguyno. If what you say is true, then bran saved the world from the white walkers, so how can he be cruel as aerys, maegor and other kings ?
Sansa being given what she wants with NO contest at all was even more unrealistic than Bran being king lmao! Iron Islands and Dorne should have immediately announced their independence as well if it was granted for the north.. Gendry was legitimized so therefore, because the only one that had a better claim was sentenced as a traitor to the realm, HE should be king. Bran is better suited to be his hand. Tyrion should have been sent to the wall with Jon and serve as the First Steward.
iron islands and dorne have no reason to want that, and in yara's case, itd be suicide as she has no fleet or men left to maintain it. gendry was "legitimized" by a now false tyrannical mass murdering dead queen
@@godemperorofmankind3.091 The queen dead and her army leaving is going to leave a power vacuum, and no-one's going to want to go to yet another war for the Iron Islands or Dorne.. They'd easily have gotten their indepencence then and there, and no reason to want that? You could maybe make that case for Dorne, but the Iron Islands have wanted to be free for a long time. Barely anyone has a fleet at this point. The Ironborn would be the first to build a new one, and seeing how self interested most of their lords are, they surely still have hundreds of longships left collectively to protect their own fiefs. The Iron fleet, if unified, would probably still be the strongest fleet in Westeros. I don't think they've lost nearly as many men as the North and the Westerlands have, as they've been much less involved in the wars. No matter who legitimized Gendry, he's now the legal lord of Storm's End, and Lord Paramount of the Stormlands.. He'd have no trouble getting Westerosi lords to back his claim. If they chose Gendry by a majority vote in that council, he'd likely have at least the North, Tully's and the Vale's support.. Hard to beat that.
@@tatskamaster ironborn were mostly dead, and yara has repeatedly called balon an idiot for trying to get independence and pushing the greenlands too far. she only believed she could obtain independence with the protection of daenerys.
@@godemperorofmankind3.091 They're not. Most soldiers don't actually die when you lose a battle. The Ironborn have been in what, two major naval battles? They're still fine. Yara has still got a few hundred ships and at least 10 000 men, from the 1000 ships and over 28 000 men that set sail from the islands. Most factions involved in the war of the five kings have a lot fewer. Especially the North, which was hit by white walkers on top of that. "she only believed she could obtain independence with the protection of daenerys" So there's no reason whatsoever she wouldn't have tried to negotiate the same protection for their independence from the new king, who'd be desperate to keep the peace in his realm, especially when that same thing was just granted on a whim for someone esle. It's only logical that she would do so.
@@tatskamaster the iron fleet at the start of WOFK is 200 ships. yara took "all our best ships" so lets be generous and say thats about 100. then euron builds a thousand more and sinks or destroys all but a couple of yara's ships. ill be generous and say theres three left. then all of euron's fleet is obliterated. so yara as of the end of the show has about 100 men left. maybe 500 if shes lucky and conscripts old men and young boys.
Cannot believe how stupid this is. How on earth is Tyrion calling the shots? Why is everyone agreeing with this craze suggestion to make Bran king? Has Bran warged into each of them? Is ha manipulating everyone to make him king? There's no other logical explanation. The best thing here would be to allow the kingdoms to go their separate ways if they wished. It's absurd that Yara would allow Sansa to make the North independent but keep the Iron Islands as part of the 6 kingdoms, ruled by Bran. What a mess.
Lol the whole North thing didn't make sense. If I'm one of the other kingdoms I want to be independent too. Starks got all the Kingdoms and remained independent and these fools willingly agreed to this takeover. 😂
@@sayakchoudhury9711 Agree. Sansa sabotages Bran by leaving the 7 AFTER the voting. That is just pure stupidity or pure evil. Bran has no real claim to the Iron Throne if Sansa leaves. He didnt fight. He has no Kingdom himself. The North even is not part of the 6 now.
@@daddy_1453 Only the Night King was defeated by a Stark. And said Stark, namely Arya, got nothing and just left. Cersei was defeated by a Targaryen : Daenerys. And Daenerys was defeated by another Targaryen : Jon.
Although understandable why she asked, I think it was foolish to let Sansa do this. I mean what's stopping the other former kingdoms to think of doing this now too? A severely weakened kings landing? This pretty much sowed the seed of other kingdoms likely follow her actions.
the fucking camera cut to asha/yara and the prince of dorne, the two most likely to separate themselves from the kingdom, just after sansa asked for independence lmaoooo
@Ali Chaudhry How? That would mean more war both in the short term AND in the long term. The realm was stable for the most part during the Targaryen dynasty. The threat of a larger conflict is the only thing that's stopping countries from waging war in the real world as well. Our world has been much more peaceful in recent times than it was before the World Wars. There's no reason this wouldn't work similarly in a fantasy setting.
@Ali Chaudhry I don't see it that way. Common people were better off in the seven kingdoms after conquest because of the long periods of peace it brought. It's war that makes the commoners poor, homeless and hungry. Taxation was probably largely the same regardless of the crown, since their own lords would have taxed them the same anyway. Unified kingdom = less war, less war = better for the realm. And honestly the seven kingdoms are pretty much a republic with a ceremonial monarchy. It's not like their culture, laws and ways changed much with the unification. Aegon united the realm, as in stopped the infighting in order to SAVE the realm. I fail to see how it would be better off divided.
Me to Bran: I can tell you. God had a VERY special plan for you. To become a true leader, guardian, protector and ruler to all. YOU are the one, true king. Remember who you are!
A criminal a king 🤦. People (Yara and her group) were already revolting against him before he was king. And you wanna make jon a king in front of unsullied and dothraki
@@indiankid8601 His heritage gave him more legitimacy as Daenerys. As far as the rules go, he just killed an usurpator and stealer of thrones. Anyone would in that World so no real crime there. Also, Danny is a mass-murderer so any "loyalty" by that point is a joke: Dorthraki would simple choose a new Kal and move on. Unsullied follow everybody who holds the wip-thingy from the early season. Laighable how an army that fought 2 mayor wars all of the sudden is made "a powerhouse". They are foreigners with no claim whatsoever.
@@arminxvs3372 your mass murderer argument is stupid in game of thrones world. Half of the king's are mass murderer and other half are savages like dothraki and unsullied. No-one cared about peasants on mediaeval period. Your dothraki argument is fine, according to rules Jon snow is their new khal. Unsullied were freed from that wipy thing by Daenerys if your remember. They are no longer slaves. Nonetheless jon is still a "queenslayer". Jamie slew mad King and got disgraced by his name throughout the life. Jon is in the same situation and no way he was becoming a king whatsoever.
Tyrion got the name Bran the Broken I’m guessing is from one of their first interactions. When he helps Bran ride a horse again by designing him a special saddle, when asked why he was offering his help he said he enjoys helping people that are bastards, or broken or both. He didn’t know Bran became the 3 Eyed Raven till waaaaaayyy later. So I’m sure Bran does gain more titles (though, in peoples imaginations since the show ended). Daenerys gained her titles with time, so I’m sure Bran would be the same.
Compare this scene to opening of House of Dragon with all these people assembled in Harrenhal. I feel new show runners are throwing in all these scenes to mock D&D.
My thought during this scene was...Gendry was named Lord of Storm's End by Daenerys, who at the time wasn't even a crowned ruler and ended up dying anyway....so how exactly did he keep that title?
Its not that people are against Brandon becoming King, its just that it felt very rushed and silly. But Dumb and Dumber became creatively bankrupt and wanted to wrap things up quick.
The fact that Tyrion was my absolute favorite character that dominated every scene he was in and by season 6 became completely insufferable should say enough about how much the writing and quality declined. I loved that man and by season 7 I was praying he would die.
"Why do you think I came all this way?" THAT was where Bran realised his purpose 😄 For all his power and knowledge, it still took someone as wise as Tyrion to remind him, and thats why he named him his hand
You all crying because Bran is the king but forget he chose Tyrion as his hand, if you remember well, from Robert chosing Ned as his hand, Cersei chosing Tywin as Joffrey's hand etc, hands most of the times are the true rulers, especially when the king or queen are not well suited for the job. So the real undercover ruler of the six kingdoms is Tyrion, Varys had said he has the talent for it. About him becoming stupid in the last seasons... you can blame D&D yes, for murdering his dialogs but for the emotional state of the character... I think it was good I mean, before getting across the narrow sea Tyrion was depressed and demoralized for what happened to him and what he had done. Afterwards, he was afraid of Dany and the dragons but at the same time was still trying to protect his family because he still loved them and this made him perform really poorly, buy if he ever got back to his senses, he would always make the smartest choice so, Bran may be the ruler but Tyrion would do the real job and Bran would say yes or no and won't care much about politics. Besides, Bran won't be corrupted and will spot any corruption that Tyrion might miss or commit himself, because Bran can see it all, so I think it's great. Tyrion is the one with a great story, (Story that was ironically denied in the book that was written by the maestre, and now he has the opportunity to start fresh. ) If they had developed this better people would have spotted it and understood it better.
2:38 I still can't get over that Robin Arryn of all characters managed to survive the entire series virtually untouched. Sure, his parents was killed (Not that he really reacted to that), but the closest he ever came to actual danger was when Sansa slapped him. Kid had the best strategy out of everyone in the show: Try not to meet new people and never leave home. Respect.
Star wars if it was written by the GOT writers: “We need a new leader for the New Republic”-Admiral Ackbar “There’s nothing in the world more powerful than a good story, and who has a better story…than Jek Porkins”-Princess Leia
@@thedj3940 The Baratheons legalized their Claim because they have deep Targaryen Blood. Roberts Grandma was a Targaryen and his Male like was a Bastard Brother of Aegon I.
GRRM was clearly trying to aim for a "God-Emperor of Westeros as a gateway drug to democracy" deal here, just like in Dune. And it could have worked, if the series had spent more time with Bran, developing and displaying his powers. But, alas, D&D kind forgot that.
I agree too. Arya and Bran were two characters I was heavily invested in and in the final season they both never really to show the full extent of their powers.
30 seconds after putting on her Pretty Pretty Princess Crown, Sansa was assassinated on Bran's order and all her supporters put to the sword for being in open rebellion. He just had to wait for Ayra to sail off the end of the Earth first.
would have been more entertaining if the others went hold up right after Tyrion said Lord of the 6 kingdoms, and said I didn't know we could opt out and started dropping out lmao.
Here's what I think should have happpened. Daenerys still becomes queen by defeating Cersei's army without burning king's landing with the help of the northerners, dothraki, unsullied wildlings and other houses who supported her claim. Jon Snow will not marry Daenerys because it's hard to believe that he will marry his own aunt but will become lord of dragonstone because of his heritage and since Dany will not have any children, he's next in line for the throne and marry a lady from any kingdom. Rhaegal will not die and will stay with Jon until his death. Tyrion becomes lord of casterly rock, sansa will be lady of winterfell because bran is not supposed to hold any titles as he's the three eyed raven. And since the long night has passed and the night king defeated. There's no need for the kingdoms to be forced into one. Set up a commonwealth where any nation that will participate is welcome and the others who don't (Dorne, Iron Island and maybe even Winterfell) can be independent. The entire story had been about tragedy. There's no point in having another tragedy in the ending.
