More Bronn would be one of the last things I would change about the season, lol. But I would have been very happy for Varys to make it to the end.
Well, I meant that he would take the place Varys was forced into which was being killed due to treason. Tyrion still could have done pretty much everything the same but the "friend" he backstabbed would've been Bronn (who would be burned alive) and then he and Varys would end up on the counsel. I like that much better.
Ha, probably some version of the dragon theme but I would need to rewatch it. Best version of hearing her theme imo is “dragonstone”... I always thought her motif was pretty dark especially next to the starks and wondered if that was hinting at something. By far my favorite melody
I guess my main thing is that I don't believe Varys is stupid enough to get caught committing treason but Bronn is, haha. Plus, I like Varys much more than Bronn overall, even though I'm not a huge Varys fan to begin with.
My friend bought us tix to see Ramin Djawadi in October, and I'm so stoked! We saw the GoT live experience last year and it was incredible. The score has been amazing this season, so I'm excited to hear the new stuff live.
Why in the world would Bronn betray Dany? He couldn’t give less of a shit about anyone but himself. He would react in the exact opposite was as Varys
It wouldn't be about him betraying Dany as some act of honor or anything, it would be him just being honest about him seeing that she's turning into a murderous psychopath and telling his "friend" Tyrion, "Hey buddy... this Dany you love and believe in? She's out of control man, you gotta do something or you're part of this shit."
Again, it's more that I don't believe Varys is that stupid and Bronn is. Just a surface level observation.
Did Varys really get caught? he basically told Tyrion that he planned to betray Dany and let him do whatever with that information
Him speaking so openly and clearly about it to Tyrion and Jon as if it was anything other than punishable-by-death treason is what I don't find believable for his character, regardless of who turns him in.
But in that case he still isn’t betraying her — the series hits you over the head with how fine Bronn is with whoever as ruler so long as he gets what he wants — and there would be no reason for Tyrion to snitch on him
For self preservation, seeing as Dany destroys all of King's Landing (including Cersei who is paying Bronn, right?) I could see Bronn speaking up to try and overthrow Dany to not ruin practically everything for him.
That is so bad I can almost see it fitting right in. Also let’s just talk about the horse again, I’m tired of thinking about Bronn.
Sure, it could be a reach but I think Varys being one of the most skilled master of whispers this world has ever seen would all the sudden turn into a complete dummy and openly talk about treason to overthrow and/or kill the queen to the man who is in love with her! Hahaha And I could see Bronn having the hubris to do something similar to at least Tyrion, seeing as they have at least a semblance of friendship between the two of them, even then it's not all that dependable anyways.
While we're talking fan fic, it would have been cool if Dany's descent was developed onscreen and instead of Jon being able to do away with her threat with ease the next season was the kingdoms being forced to deal with her as a ruthless conquerer. I would have liked to have seen her go after the iron bank for backing Cersei, maybe Tyrion hires the faceless men, ah the possibilities they could have rushed through
On top of reaching you’re also completely erasing Varys’ entire backstory here lol. The whole reason he’s even in that situation is because he was the one who helped Dany and Viserys escape Westeros, and he was the one who convinced Tyrion to go to her. Bronn makes no sense in that role
I'm not erasing Varys' history at all. I'm literally saying that he's shown over these past 7 seasons that he has some of the best insight and foresight of anyone in the series but this season they throw that out of the window and turn him into one of the dumbest people in the show and then burn him alive. It didn't line up with how his character has been this whole time.
You’re erasing his history in that imagining Bronn in that position to begin with makes no sense. It only makes sense for Varys. And your imagined scenario of Bronn betraying Dany is just as inconsistent with Bronn’s character as anything they did with Varys.
Bronn for 8 seasons and beyond: “I only look out for number one. In my second-to-last scene I was more than willing to murder the only character I was truly friends with in order to advance my own self interests.” Bronn in this hypo: “Look Tyrion, I know I’ve been totally fine with working under multiple sociopathic, murderous rulers before, but this dragon lady draws the line, so I’m gonna stick my neck out on behalf of the common folk here.”
