Wait. Brandon? Hmmm....
Huh. I never thought about it like that. I'm not sure that would have been the case though. The starks would have lost their shit a lot faster had he died. I can't remember exactly, but it was one of the brothers or the mom that was like "nahhhh he didn't fall" and then went up the tower and figured it out.
And then, had he died, nobody could've stopped her. Even Ned would've rained hell, esp with Robert there. The only reason nothing immediately happened was BECAUSE he didn't die. And then, he wasn't the bad guy because he basically ended up being the/a good guy for the rest of the show.
Wanna talk about misdirected hate, Jeezzz.
What about "the guy who was cucking the king by fucking his twin sister/the queen and when his secret got discovered tried to murder an innocent kid/royal to cover it up with no thoughts of the consequences"? Eh? Can't that guy be the bad guy?
So you going to overlook the Bran, once he got access to his powers proceeded to messed with the brains of people. Hodor for one. The 'mad king' for the other. Of that we were shown.
Or how Bran does jack shit in the big fight, despite being able to.
And then it's made king because... He had the most interesting story...
Countless people died because that little shit manipulated time and events to gain power.
I thought Bran fucking up Hodor was a huge mistake though. And how did he mess with the brain of the mad King? I don't remember that at all.
Maybe I'll have to rewatch it all because I don't remember anything about him manipulating time. I kind of remember him being able to see, but then certain people having a sixth sense sort of where they could notice him?
Are you going off the books or just the show?
Just the show, since it was Game of Thrones. Figure book readers would go by the actual name.
There's a short scene when he's messing about in the past were he pops over to the King, and if I remember correctly, that's when the King goes mad. Shouldnt be long after the Hodor scene. It's been a few years. But I distinctly remember being like 'wait, it was his fault!? That little shit!'
I looked it up and saw some of that idea being called fan theories, backed up by "if he could warg-affect hodor, and that was breaking some warg laws, then he was repeatedly breaking them and could obviously time travel" which got fan theoried into him being the source of the mad King AND Bran is actually the night king.
Honestly, I just attribute a lot of that to bad directing near the end of the show. It was already falling off for a long time by then, and it was unclear and you had to kind of presume what was happening off screen and what capabilities were.
