The Theory

Turm0il26 proposes that after Bran realises his powers caused Wylis to become Hodor (yes, his name is Wylis) and one day save his and Meera’s lives, he will wrongly believe he can stop the White Walkers from ever existing in the first place. It makes sense that Bran will be interested in further exploring his powers in the last season. This will be especially true if the Night King and his minions have brought down the wall. It’s possible that Bran will believe only he can stop the oncoming war by going far enough back in time to prevent the creation of the Night King by trying to reason with the Children of the Forest, who are responsible for plunging the dragon glass into the heart of one of the First Men.
Remember, Bran witnesses the creation of the Night King, and he experiences the touch of the ancient ice zombie while warging in season six. These two events suggest a strong connection already exists between these two characters. According to Turm0il26, the reason the Night King and Bran seem to be drawn to each other is because they are essentially the same person at different points of the same timeline. The Reddit theory reads:

“Bran goes back all the way to where the Night king was created, to warg into the human that later is going to become the Night king. He wargs into him to instead stop the ‘dragon glass into the heart’-event from happening. Only he doesn’t think of that the children of the forest won’t recognise him from the future, and that they at that point are in war with the first men (he is gagged because of all the weird future-talk). When he realised he failed again, he tries to go back in the current timeline, but can’t because he’s too deep into the past and stayed too long (‘it is beautiful beneath the sea, stay too long and you drown’). From here Bran gets stuck in the past (exactly as Brynden and Jojen warned him not to) and becomes the Night King.”

Turm0il26 further suggests that the magic the Children of the Forest possess combined with Bran’s powers would ultimately lead to corruption and madness. If all of his attempts to stop the White Walkers from existing in the first-place leads to Bran being trapped thousands of years in the past, slowly losing his sense of self, he could become the villain of the piece. It’s classic origin story logic: a character tries to do the right thing but ultimately ends up losing their humanity in the process.

Re-watch the scene where Bran witnesses the Night King’s creation and take special note of Bran’s reaction. Not only does his hand clench as he’s watching the event unfold (which could be interpreted as a physical response to the pain), but when the scene returns to the present day in the cave, Bran’s position against the rock directly mirrors that of the Night King’s against the tree. Add in the leader of the White Walkers being able to touch Bran while he wargs — something no one else has been able to do, so far — and this theory becomes all the more plausible.
