Cersei, Dany and others would still exist but then there's no more a three-eyed raven as Bran hasn't trained anyone. So history of man and himself the NK would be gone.
Importantly, he believed he was going to clear the entire Winterfell where all that have heard about how he can be killed are at this point in time.
His only challenge would be the meisters and books in Old town which is a minor problem for him.
With his large and growing army he'll just conquer everywhere and Cersei...beat them with numbers.
If it's about swimming, that man would build ships (they make uniforms, armour, boots and even have big metal chain).

That's what I feel.
Thanks! This was a tad-bit helpful and insightful.

See the explanation I got from the net!
The Night King doesn't really care about Bran Stark, but he cares very much about The Three-Eyed Raven, which is the magical being Bran Stark has become.

According to Bran, who is all-knowing at this point, the Night King's real goal isn't just to rule Westeros, but to erase it. And, as Bran explains, "I am its memory." The "its" in question is the world.

Samwell Tarly backs this up, explaining that Bran's "memories don’t come from books. And your stories aren’t just stories. If I wanted to erase the world, I’d start with you."

There have been a number of larger theories about the Night King's enduring obsession with Bran/The Three-Eyed Raven over the years, but Bran settled the mystery directly tonight - S08E02. The Three-Eyed Raven is the keeper of the memories of man and the Night King wants to destroy all trace of mankind. As a result, he needs to take out The Three-Eyed Raven to complete his big picture plan
.

So with this said Bros, it would have only been a matter of time for the NK to come for Cersei and Daenerys wherever the fvck they are if he had successfully killed Bran and we all know his army would have multiplied like viral cells and Cersei and Daenerys stood no chance as the NK is hell bent on wiping out the whole of human existence.

This is why I said Daenerys didn't just come to fight for the North or for the love of Jon but saw the bigger picture as Jon preached about defending the survival of mankind in the battle against the dead.
This further gives credence to the meeting with Cersei although Cersie declined joining the fight, but didn't matter anymore since the NK was killed without her assistance.

Thanks once again Bros! I hope chaps here will be reasonable enough to read and see Daenerys didn't just come to fight for the North, but for human survival with a larger force.

Then you better go back and read about the training she's had. Looks like you want to underrate Arya's skill just because they let you see few of the tricks she was capable of, huh? Did it occur to you, she could have gotten there earlier before the Night king and his generals and then find the best way to hide? Do you think Arya is stupid like Theon on how to attack the Night King? Maybe even Bran knows Arya was there and just allowed the Night king come close to him.

Lol...sees the present and the future you say, yet he did not see his death? Funny you should say that. Even if you are the Night king and you get to the point where he is, knowing he just killed the last person guarding him, and the person he wants to kill is on a wheel chair. What would you do? charge on Bran?

Read your comments again.

Right now it feels like the faceless man allows Arya near-unlimited power as an assassin
The guy you quoted was just ranting that Arya have to kill a night walker in order to wear its face, who told him that?

He forgot where jaqen wore Arya's face.

For someone who is so obsessed with the Iron Throne, staying put on said island would be similar to postponing the inevitable.

Without her, and her army, and her dragons, Winterfell would have lost that war, aggrandising TNK's army. Losing Jon, the only other person who can ride a dragon, in the process. Many other potential allies would be lost, too.

TNK would have comfortably moved to wherever in the Seven kingdoms with his army, conquering them with ease. Further, enlarging his army.

Now, The Dany we know wouldn't just sit on an island. She has been obsessed with the Iron Throne since like forever. She'd have to leave her comfort zone to fight for The Throne. This would eternally result in her fighting for the survival she thought she'd bypassed.

Saying she could stayed on the island was only an example of the number of options available to her, none of which included going north

The night king is not a factor from POV of Danaerys, Cersei or Euron.

You're sat in your chair as a viewer seeing the bigger picture, and then making the error of assuming the characters can see what you see.

They can't.

In the shows very first episode, Ned Stark executes a guy who had seen and was warning about the threat of the white walkers.

Quite frankly Jon Snow and Bran are the only people who care about fighting the Zombies.Cersei doesn't. Danaerys doesn't. Stannis didn't. The Lord commanders Mormont and Alliser certainly didn't.
Even in the heat of battle, Sansa clearly doesn't.

The white walker horde simply do not figure in most of these people's plans, so a lot of the stuff you've said up there is completely irrelevant from the point of view of many main characters.

Danaerys only went up north to fight for the north aka Jon. Not because she gives a rats arse about zombies

Any other argument is completely facetious

I beg to disagree. Battles are planned and everyone has his or her role to play. His role was to ride and burn. Do you expect him to be yelling orders on dragon back?

You still haven't answered my questions. I will ask you again..

1.How did Arya get to steal the face of a White Walker when we know that in order to steal a face one has to kill the person and peel his face off? When one kills a White Walker they explode into pieces.

2. How did Arya kill a White Walker when all were walking side by side?

3. If one kills a WW all the wights he turned die. We didn't we see any glimpse of wights exploding?

What Melisande told Arya was that she would shut many eyes for ever, brown eyes, green eyes and blue eyes, not wear many eyes. Watch the scene again. She clearly says SHUT MANY EYES FOREVER.

Arya doesn't need to kill in order to wear faces na

Like how did Arya get past like ten thousand wights and just jump out of nowhere without the night king and his White Walkers noticing? That's shitty writing and a very anticlimactic end to a storyline line that I thought had more. I mean, what about the Azor Ahai prophesy? The Prince of the dawn? All the build up to this battle and all we get is this underwhelming ending. Honestly I'm not even all that motivated to watch the next episode.

Also how is Sam not dead? I could swear I saw him swarmed by at least 10 wights. There are so many characters that should have died in that battle that just miraculously survived. Jaime, Brienne and Gendry should be dead. If the writers wanted them to survive then they shouldn't have put them in those practically inescapable situations.

They would all have died for sure if Arya had not killed NK. You have to bear in mind scenes don't always actually follow, you can have several scenes showing one after the other but actually happening at the same time.

Ehmm, Uncle. How did Dany save Jon? Cuz from what I remembered watching this was how it went:

Night King uses blue fire on part of the castle. Jon clashes Rheagal with Viserion. Two dragons inflict injuries on themselves. Night King raises white spear to use on Jon but can get clean shot because of dragons. Eventually Night King gets knocked off Viserion and crashes to ground. Jon hangs on the Rheagal but they also come crashing down. Dany then appears with Drogon where the Night king crashes and tries to Dracarys his ass. But Night King has Odeshi

Please tell me here where Dany prevents Night King from killing Jon?
It was actually Drogon that came to the rescue of Jon, the NK was about killing Rhaegar with his ice spear before Dany came to the rescue.

Yah! True she said this to Sansa. But I thought if the Night-king killed the three-eyed raven - Bran, it wouldn't have mattered where the fvck anyone is as the whole of mankind (world) will be affected.

Maybe I'm getting it wrong somewhere, I really need an explanation in this ragard from someone.

What would have happened if the NK killed Bran?!


Nothing happened to humans when the former three eyed raven was killed .

This man sure knows how the game is played, am not sure Darnarys would have made it back to the seven kingdoms if he didn't die, she should be grateful to Tyrion.
Please drop the particular episode where u discovered this. I want to see something.

I actually do not disagree with you about her going to the North to fight for a cause that was never within her scope of plans. What necessitated this argument was what someone said about Sansa having absolutely no right to request for the North's sovereignty, simply because Daenerys played a big role in the Salvation of the north, which I disagree with.

Well, what right does Sansa have?

The person who cut the deal was the King in the North, who's jurisdiction includes Winterfell.

Morally, Sansa has no locus standi either, as she scribbled around in the dirt, whilst Danaerys fought to defend Winterfell.

Sansa has no right to open her mouth without first asking permission.

Now that TNK and his undeservingly overrated long night are history, and we're back to heritage, and heirdom, and boring monarchy rituals, she does have a right.

The person who negotiated the deal, as far as knowledge and Dany and the North are concerned, isn't a Stark, and should the knowledge go viral, would be stripped of the title of The Warden of The North, which he currently holds. This should invalidate his pre-love, pre-war negotiations (I'm not quite sure how it works in ASoIF world).

Bran, apparently, has nothing for the triflings in politics and succession, so he's off the queue. This automatically legitimises Sansa as the Lady of Winterfell.

As the Lady of Winterfell, she does have every right to request the North's autonomy, if that's what she wants.

It now depends on Daenerys to grant her, and that's after she's won the wars to come, and taken the throne.

But saying she has no right to ask, or even fight, basically because Dany was one of the key players in the defeat of TNK (or because, she had an agreement with the supposed King in the North? Whichever), is farcical.

This lady figured out the issues with the battle plan before the episode aired. "The first rule of defending a castle is to stay inside the castle"


So many glaring plot holes, plenty cringe-worthy out-of-character decisions/behaviours, ridiculous reversal of already established "in-world" physical laws... I could go on and on. But I just remind myself that the show runners are really doing their utmost best since Season5 to sustain a grand tale that the renowned author has been unable to finish. And then you watch that 40-min Behind-the-Scenes video and see how much effort and dedication they put into this...

So I just enjoy it the way it is. I'm still hoping Episode 4 holds some surprises, though.

Someone should answer this question now, maybe it'll help stop the arguments in this regard.

Question: What would have happened if the NK killed the three-eyed raven??!

Bran and Samwell has already given us an insight as to what it means but it seems some chaps still don't get it. So I really want to know and get an answer from this threadsmiley!

Based on the direction the show has taken, absolutely nothing would change. As Bran is portrayed up to present in the show, if the NK had managed to kill him and then Arya killed the NK afterwards, nothing at all would change - the Citadel is still standing. The show's choice of portraying the Three Eyed-Raven as "the memory of mankind" is almost inconsequential, unless (I hope) there is something more that the producers still intend to reveal. Otherwise, as someone here has already opined, very little would have changed in the entire plot if Bran had died from his fall back in Season 1, and I agree.

Bran's status in the books is a whole lot more critical and crucial. He is probably the most important character. The book series are actually titled "A Song of Ice And Fire"; more than anything it tells you the Seven Kingdoms' bickerings over the Iron Throne (which the TV show is currently implying to be the MAIN event) is actually just a side-show.

But of course this thread is about the show and not the books, so let's stick to it.

you sound like a broken hearted girl! Danny roasting wights wasn't the plan, Danny broke the plan so he had to follow up, being a battle commander demands that you grow a heart of stone and focus on the objective! Jon couldn't do that before at the battle of the bastards, he learnt his lesson and tried to be an actual battle commander this time, it would have been foolish to let Danny and dragon ride out alone when a two against one battle was the only feasible way of defeating the night king on viserion.

He couldn't sneak up on the night king like arya? Seriously is that even an argument point? You would now want to tell us that unlike Jon, you knew dragon fire wouldn't kill the night king right? He went for the night king, Danny and dragon got to him first, he like the rest of us expected that to be enough, when it wasn't, he ran towards him only for the dead to be raised against him so what could he possibly have done differently? And strictly speaking, arya didn't successfully sneak up on the night king
Also when dragons lock up on each other during a fight, their riders contribute very little to that fight except directing them to disengage or flee, Jon was committed to stopping for good the threat that was viserion, a fight he shouldn't have had to fight alone if Danny could have acted like a good battle commander and stuck to the plan.
And with a dragon wight breathing blue flame on everything and anything in the path towards the godswood, you expected Jon to grow wings and vault over him into the godswood right? undecided
