Why Is Bran Stark Acting So Weird In Season 7? | GOT S7E3 (Bran Stark Theory)

I think you missed a few things I just want to point out. Good quality well done in general. 1. Its important to distinguish between when he is connected to the tree and when he isn't. When he is connected a wearwood he can access, lets call it the "database", of everything the wearwood network has seen. I think the overall issue here is bringing in the book information which is what the children of the forest explain this person as in the books. Also in the books the 3 eyed crow is a name bran made up because he kept seeing a 3 eyed crow. Bloodraven literally says "what?" when he calls him the eyed crow in the books its actually pretty funny. In the show all we know is what we hear from Jojen and what were shown bloodraven can do when connected to the wearwood network. Lets assume the 3 eyed raven is a title in the show because thats the way the show seems like they are going (even though nobody has ever heard of it a three eyed crow before, originally the show used crow, but gave up on it EXCEPT jojen, we know about who bloodraven was or get hints from Old Nan, although its never explained and probably won't be that he was a targarian bastard and was in the nights watch (hence 3 eyed crow, but again in the books this is literally a name bran makes up granted hes like 10 years younger in the books). I would just assume the 3 eyed raven is an entity why, well in the writers eyes they would say we hope your answer is who cares we dunno it just works as a plot forward device and we screwed Brans story up so lets just roll with that, I would argue you should care at this point but thats another topic. I don't think you're going to see Bran for any reason other than to forward the plot, hell probably tell arya and sansa to stop fighting cuz little finger did all this. He may warg the dragon whitewalker which would be really cool, but hes not going to show up much because his powers were not well explained and when he is there people wonder why he isn't just telling everyone everything. Its because he doesn't know everything thats not how his powers work, but the show doesn't have near the time or ability at this point to fix it. I also think this may be something GRRM wanted because it will completely differentiate the books, but hes acting weird because his mind is all jumbled and hes gone through a ton. Just like why arya is acting like such a bitch, although she is pointing out the truth to sansa shes annoying, so is Sansa though. Arya is saying im not the little girl you used to push around (sansa used to treat her like shit) ive been through alot, and she doesn't know what sansa's been through. I think its more of an identity crisis in the show and information overload as well as losing a lot of himself in the other peoples memories he has in his head even when not connected. If you go back to how they showed Bloodraven he wasn't emotionless and completely disconnected. It just doesn't tie and they don't know how to fix it so don't expect him to be a big player, maybe a couple cool things, but he is just a plot device. They never should have tried to keep his story similar to the books because on a show this short in terms of episodes combined with the number of characters you cant do enough Bran to explain his book story it would take his own show, and itd have to be longer. They tried to do it from the beginning and failed, he doesn't show up for a whole season because they knew they screwed up his character so they brought him back as pretty much a convienient plot forward button or crucial information giver and figured people wanted more dragons burning shit anyways, and were probably right. I like tony too, but his last few theories have been totally crackpot and contradict themselves. The ones about Bran especially. Theres a rumor going around that one of the things that leaked was an email with two employees talking about how they wanted to kill bran off but GRRM said no way, I think its 100% true because they blew his story and knew keeping him around would bring up so many questions they couldnt answer even if they wanted to in the time available let alone hadn't screwed up from the start. In short the problem is they have a character people would want explained in a way they can't explain or if he was around theyd want to do everything and that would kill the show because if he could see everything and tell everyone than why play it out? Now the books are a completely different story as I said and based on your seemingly deep interest in bran I would recommend you read them, because his story is and will be INSANE in the books and is really where we get and will get the mythology and answers to the mysteries that will never be answered let alone the ones that dont exist on the show. Also based on your interest in diving deeper into this stuff the books are where you get that the show had it at one point, but its gone now.

I just think it's going to take a while for him to adapt to his new state. And we see him act more and more normal with every episode he's been back.

I still think Bran IS the Night’s King!!!!!!

I concur with the first part because TER had warned Bran that if he is greenseeing a lot it will end up drowning him in the visions. I think that's what happened Bran is greenseeing more than usual as the Nights King is approaching but not too much still to loose all of himself. If he saw he was gonna meet Sansa then he wouldn't hope for Jon to be at Winterfell from (Sansa and Bran's convo from previous episode) as he knows Jon will be back and he can say him what he means to say all the same.
