Will Bran Sacrifice himself to Kill the Night King in Game of Thrones Season 8

It all comes down to their motivations…the NK and the WW, that is. The warging of the NK would be about the only way we could see what their intentions have been. How bittersweet would it be to find that they are our saviors against the "Lord of Light"..just before their demise and the subsequent revelation of the true enemy. Great video!

Still kinda sad that we never got the chance to see Varamyr in the show lol.

This "bittersweet "ending grrm has said has really lit a match everyone has their own theory on it personally mine is that everyone, everything connection with magic will die somehow thus people like jon snow will die as he was brought back from the dead with magic I'm probably way off but something along those lines

I think Bran dies warging a WW, not the Night King. While warging, he starts chanting things, almost like Hodor 'hold the door', providing Jon&Co the information about killing the Night King. I forgot to mention that the White Walkers are attacking Winterfell at the same time, and the room in which the humans have retreated is under attack. Bran wargs into a White Walker, giving him control over the Wights that specific White Walker had turned. Then he attacks the others, while chanting the information mentioned before. Jon and some other fighters (Tormund, Jaime and The Hound for example), being the noble men they are, tried to hold the White Walkers off while the others escape. While Bran and his new Wights start attacking the other Wights and White Walkers, someone convinces Jon to flee, as it is their only option. Jon looks over to potato Bran, and sees him being attacked or something tragic, and then he runs.

In the courtyard they seem trapped, but suddenly a loud roar and a burst of flames tear open the sky, and Rhaegal comes back, saving Jon&Co, without Dany, showing a bond between the Dragon and Jon.

That's my theory for the ending of episode 2.

The legend of the Night's King is of two brother's at war for the lordship of winter in the North: both Starks, one finally defeating the other, no pun intended.

Yet – if the so called 13th Lord Commander IS revealed to be the father of the White Shadows we call The Others –  then it has since become apparent that NEITHER side won or lost or was ever truly defeated.

It's one of the many backstories in ASoIaF which we can't help recasting with the characters from the current main narrative. Thinking, is this foreshadowing? Or history repeating? Is there a pattern to the puzzle, a meaning by which to devine the shape of chapters yet to come? Or none of the above?

I keep wondering if this is indeed a circular narrative we are going to see replayed and if so, if history IS being repeated, for which side Bran and Jon – divided – would choose to set their banners. If choice is even a factor, in a war between brothers of opposing ideologies. Warg against warg. Wolf vs Crow.

The "sacrifice", then, may be Jon's: the fire-wight with the half human, half direwolf soul, the undead King of Winter with the blood of both Stark and Targaryen the frozen fire curdling in his veins. He alone might possess the power to defeat the Night's King – and replace him. To become the new Last Hero with his twelve doomed companions, striking dead-North. He alone has the physical fortitude to lead the Others back to the Heart of Winter. To restore the balance of ice and fire – for now.

To this end, the "sacrifice" may also have to be Bran's: the Greenseer who dreams of Spring while monitoring the Land of Always Winter. Rooted into the crypts beneath the godswood of his family home, a witness and sometime participant in the history of his house. The Stark who must always be in Winterfell, carrying prophecy to the past and foreshadowing the omens of the future. Holding the imbalance of fire and ice at bay – for now.

Or none of the above ; )

If you could ask one question to grrm about this story before the end. What would you ask?
Not what the end is tho…

That is my theory. Bran will warg into the Night King and Jon will kill him with the sword Dawn that he will find in Lyanna's tomb that will be tempered via Melisandre to create Lightbringer.

Actually i do thing that might Bran will be sacrificed as nissa nissa by Jon [brotherly love counts for the sacrifice]..becoz he is connected to the NK with his mark on his hand and that both can warging to each other..NK attacked the 3 Eyed Raven Weirwood Tree in S6 knowing that there is someone who not only can be connected with him but also be one with him ..Bran might be the ultimate catalyst for the NK death in the end…and his death to be also the NK death.

What if the night king warns into bran at the end

I really enjoyed this, thanks!

I would love to see that play out. A very powerful warg is about to die so he wargs into another body and takes full control. But he still has his warg abilities so he can jump from body to body almost being immortal.

the nights king is imo a warg, and the wights are the creatures he controls (and now a dragon too), and we've never seen a warg warg a warg, if you know what i mean.

If the wights overrun Winterfell while Jon is battling the Night King, Bran might in desperation warg into him just long enough to give Jon an opening to take him down(not knowing it's Bran) Meanwhile, Bran's human body has been destroyed by the wights at Winterfell or its burned or something(They think he's dead & don't want him to become a wight) & he can't return to it. That's a possible scenario. I still hope he'll warg Viserion though.

one of my ideas is that the children of the forest made the night king etc not as a weapon but as something for the humans and the children to have as a common enemy to destroy so they could be allies but they lost control of the whites once they started killing them

We will have to take the Dragon glass out of him that’s the only way The end the suffering of the night king destruction of death

Another great vid kev! Most consistent dude

That seems like a pretty obvious end to the arc. Almost too obvious.

Well it Look like it Water drowning what it’s called staying too long on memory or someone body he will sacrifice himself in to the night king which is going to be dangerous for him

🙂

Great video as always Kev 😄😊
The part about nature bring a to mind the population control led by the NK. As he turns people to wights, he is reducing the number of humans on the planetose thus reducing the numbers of those who will have a "footprint" on nature (after people turn to wights, they no longer harm the planet).
So if the NK comes back every xK years, dies he do it to clean the planetose of human that spread like wildfire?
