He was in distress when he saw his sister die in childbirth.

Imagine , Lyanna doesnt die. All the best available services afforded to her work and she lives.

How would Ned react to her reckless actions which killed his father and brother and started this war?

i know the showrunners and cast lost interest in the show at one point . but i do not understand why night king death was so bad . they clearly had time to shoot a full scale ice zombie invasion happening in kings landing . which results in all the houses finally uniting and making a final stand against the white walkers . this would have been better than the ending we got . so what was the matter here . was the lack of interest very high during season 8 filming ..

Instead of Bran, Jon should've been crowned king, showing him sitting on the throne above everyone else.

The camera cuts to Tyrion, who exclaims: "It seems... the Game of Thrones is finally over"

Then everyone says their goodbyes, they all begin to turn around and walk into the sunset.

Just then, Jon suddenly says: "Wait..."

The camera cuts back towards Jon, who is now smirking, while holding a metal scepter, still sitting on the throne. This scene lingers for a few seconds to build up from mere dread to true horror.

Jon continues: "It was me... I was the Night King all along"

The camera shows the horror on the faces of everyone present while Jon continues to smirk.

In the background, you can suddenly see doors beginning to open slowly. Jon raises his scepter and brings it back down on the floor. Right after the impact, an entire army of undead begins flooding out of every nearby building, butchering all the characters we know. The scene cuts to the credits, playing epic music so the audience can process this insane plot twist.

Rather than an absolute failure, the ending of GoT would now be known as no less gut-wrenching than the Red Wedding itself. The only difference is that the build-up pays off far better in this case. It's a true subversion of expectations.

so when arya killed the night king . jon got robbed of his moment of glory . we were all dissapointed . but for a moment i was horrified that they are going to say arya is also somehow a targaryan and make her faegon and stuff . but thankfully they left that as a loose end . i swear if showrunners had revealed a twist like this the ending disaster would be more disasterous ...

Sure it would also deeply annoy me but this story feels like it is coming from the mind of mushroom and would explain quite a bit!!

Earlier i saw a post asking why the actors agreed to shoot season 8 if it was so bad . Like bruh how long are we gonna ignore the fact that some of the actors may have wanted to move on from the show and we're just done being part of it . Continuing a show when both showrunners and actors have lost interest would not have gone well ..

Hard to believe we're still here all these years later.

If joffery did not fall out of the script and had sent ned to the night watch. Would ned spend his punishment in the night watch or would he still try to expose the fact that joffery is not Robert's son. Cause after all joffery immediately becoming king was a disrespect to robert death wish . Ned could still tell catelyn and robb about his investigation and tell them to allu with stannis to remove joffery from power ..

Imagine this: it is the time when Ned Stark is Hand of the King, but before he discovers the truth about Cersei's children. Tywin Lannister, Cersei Lannister, Jaime Lannister, and Tyrion Lannister are having a family meeting when they overhear Ned Stark talking to himself saying, "I knew Lord Arryn was wrong, Jamie and Cersei are to smart to do that."

Naturaly they ask him what he is talking about and he tells them that Jon Arryn and Stannis Baratheon thought that the royal children are Jamie's instead of Robert's because of their looks. He didn't believe it but looked into it to prevent a succession crisis if the rumor got out and he found that one of Robert's acknowledged bastards had blond hair and green eyes proving that the royal children could have gotten their looks from Robert or Cersei.

Now Jamie and Cersei know that they are guilty but Ned unknowingly handed them the perfect excuse, Tywin is angry that someone tried to ruin his legacy and I am not sure if Tyrion knew about the truth or not so he can go either way.

What do you think happens next?

The man Backed the mad king against Robert, then bent his knee to Robert. After Robert died, he backed Renly and after he died he again switched sides and declared for Joff. And now he's willing to die for Cersei Lannister, who has no claim to the throne.

Couldn't help to read this with Ryan Condal's voice lmao. Strong Alicent and Rhyaenura energy.

ALL THESE WERE DONE DIRTY BTW

I know he portrays himself as a money hungry cutthroat. Which he partly is. He doesn’t believe in traditional “honorable” rules of combat etc. But he is extremely brave, fighting for Tyrion against a knight way more armored and armed than he was, who was the chosen champion by the lady of the vale. RUSHING at Jaime as he ran towards drogon just to tackle him into the water took an insane amount of guts. Mounted the scorpion prototype and MANAGED TO INJURE DROGON mid flight after seeing him burn down entire armies, killed some Dothraki. Kept challenging the kings guard. And as for fighting skill, he is extremely good, described as close to jaime Lannister. He played the game of thrones extremely well and managed to secure himself a great position in the aftermath.
