quote:I pretty much agree with the OP...
1. I’m ok with Arya killing the Night King
2. Jaime had to die with Cersei.
3. The Unsullied should have killed Jon.
4. The Hound and The Mountain had to die fighting each other.
5. Jon had to kill Dany.
6. Jon was never going to willingly sit in the Iron Throne.
7. No opinion one way or the other on Bran The Broken as King. About as exciting as Edmure Tully.
8. Drogon took Dany to Asshai where she was brought back to life by a Red Priestess.
This is an outline for what happens. The execution of making it happen is where the show fails; but each of those points as a bullet, it makes perfect sense.
Arya killing the Night King, she was groomed to become the perfect killer. I might want to SEE Jon kill him (the obvious choice), but if my own life depended on sending any one character out to kill anyone, including the Night King- Jaqen H'ghar is my first choice. Arya, his chosen protege, is next.
Points 2 through 6, that is the direction this tale was tragically going to go. 3 (Unsullied killing Jon) is by far the most logical action that didn't occur. They are loyal to the death, but don't avenge Dany... that really doesn't fit them.
quote:Should be the epilogue to the final book. Would have been the ultimate teaser in an end-credit scene. The resurrection has been shown, once with Jon, shite-ton of times with Beric. We know the Red Priestesses can do it, and we know that's where Drogon went. We know the Red Priestesses showed interest in her before.
8. Drogon took Dany to Asshai where she was brought back to life by a Red Priestess.

On a more existential level, you could say the various Gods all wrestled, and there were winners and losers.
The Seven (New Gods) lost. Lost the Sept, lost control of the Seven Kingdoms.
The God of Death won, as Arya returned the Undead to him (from the Night King's control), taking them from one of the Old God's pawns.
The Red God, for all the magic they showed, made an impression but lost (restoring Dany would alter that).
The Old Gods had a mixed result. Lost control of the dead back to Death, but their other pawn (Three Eyed Raven) sits on the throne. Also, the North is now free again.
