Of all the things that are still widely discussed in the Game of Thrones
community, the series' ending provokes the most heated and passionate
debates.
But hardly anyone enjoyed the original finale, so people
have been coming up with their own, and some of them are just amazing. The
ending that caught our attention was called by its creator, Jaffiest, "the
evil ending".
Using just a bit of editing, they put together a different
finale that speculates on the idea that's been in the community for some
time: what if Bran used his warg abilities to manipulate the course of
events to his own benefit?
"The evil ending" shows us how Bran takes over control in the most
crucial moments that led to the canon series' ending.
He made Jaime provoke and kill the Mad King, had Tommen and
Melisandre take their own lives, and made Daenerys burn the entire King's
Landing when she was heading for the Red Keep.
Though the clip
only shows these moments, it implies that Bran also changed other events.
And
why would any of it make sense? Was it just because Bran the Broken wished
to become the new King that much? Of course, not. This goes way
deeper.
Bear with us for a moment.
The Children of the Forest created the Night King, and the Three-Eyed Raven was ultimately on their side. The Raven lured Bran beyond the Wall, and the Night King served as a tool to get the Raven into Bran's brain.
The Night King's served his purpose, and the
following march of the dead is merely a distraction.
The Night
King's eventual death is no big deal for the Children: the Raven is now
inside of Bran, and he starts altering the events so that they eventually
lead to Bran being crowned.
But it's not just Bran: it's the
Three-Eyed Raven now. Just like that, the Children of the Forest rule over
Westeros once again; furthermore, he sends Jon Snow, the human king, to the
True North, where the Children can get him under control as well.
Do you remember how arrogantly Bran's "Why do you think I came all
this way?" sounded as he was asked to accept the crown? Now you know why.
