Four predictions for the Game of Thrones Episode series finale

3. The mystery of Bran reveals itself

If we aren’t going to get closure on the mystery of Bran in Game of Thrones, I am going to riot. I need to know, WE need to know what his deal is. What the heck has he been doing all season? Where does he go when he wargs? Is he gearing up to be the new Night King?

There are theories galore about what will happen with Bran in the Game of Thrones series finale. And given his lack of participation all season, any one of them can end up being true. So what theories and predictions are we working with here?

A popular one is that Bran is pure evil. That he could be the new Night King, raise the dead, and repeat this cycle all over again. After all, he’s been so shady in the final season. I mean, did everyone see the weird expressions he exchanged with the Night King right before Arya killed him? (Side note: There’s also a theory that the White Walkers will return via Gilly’s baby or Gilly herself, both of whom may have White Walker blood.)

Another circulating theory is that Bran warged into Drogon during “The Bells” and was responsible for what went down. Maybe he’s gunning for Dany to become the Mad Queen and this was his way of ensuring it? A Redditor broke down this theory in detail, and it’s definitely worth checking out.

"It’s only after we see the identical scene of Bran’s vision from an earlier season of Drogon’s shadow flying over King’s Landing that Drogon changes directions and starts lighting everyone up."

According to this theory, Dany meant to only destroy the Red Keep. After we see her heel turn, we never see her face up close again. Could it just be that Bran sucks and is pure evil? At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised.
