Why Bran Stark is the true villain of Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones is over after 73 episodes across eight long seasons and the world of George R.R. Martin's creation is at peace in a very twisted and sordid way.
In what would have seemed impossible in earlier seasons of the show, however, Cersei ended up dying at the hands of an even more evil character: Daenerys Targaryen.; burning millions of people to death because a few of her mates had died.With Dany now - spoiler alert - completely and utterly dead and being flown somewhere by a dragon with a painfully high perception of artistic symbology, the new king is here.
This may seem like an odd take for a man who has never harmed anything and hasn't felt anything since becoming the Three-Eyed Raven, but he is in fact the worst of all, and the reasons are everywhere."Why do you think I came all this way?" he says, referencing both the journey from Winterfell to King's Landing, as well as his own journey from simply a weird child to a weird Three-Eyed Raven with artificial intelligence instead of emotion.
Bran also would have known that the Unsullied were being tricked when they landed at Casterly Rock to destroy the seat of the Lannisters. He knew the Lannisters were not there - nor were their troops - and that they were in fact sacking Highcastle. He knew all of this.
Bran knows Jon is too honourable to conceal this from Dany, and he knows the damage this will do to their relationship. He is a snake just messing things up in the background. Yet again, we see a crucial couple of moments that massively impact both emotions and events, as Euron Greyjoy intercepts yet another fleet, killing Rhaegal the dragon and kidnaps Dany's loyal advisor Missandei, leading to her execution at the hands of Cersei, via The Mountain.
That's fair, what she did was absolutely awful. Killing people is bad. Killing millions is really bad. But while Dany made the decision to kill all of those people there and then, Bran knew she'd do it all along. He knew she'd snap and kill millions.
