>Benioff & Weiss considered the Hound and Brienne as options to kill the Night King before settling on Arya
Would either of them have gone over better with audiences?

No
>you forgot one thing. This is my fight song *stab*
Those are almost as-bad choices. The Hound was barely a character by S8. Brienne has absolutely no ties to the White Walker storyline unless you want to somehow tie her vow to Catelyn Stark towards defeating the Night King to protect the Stark children.
The problem with GoT in general is that you have a bunch of characters with completed arcs that stick around long after because theyre fan favorites and have frick all to do.
why not jon tho
too short
THE HERO'S JOURNEY MUST BE SUBVERTED.
Perfect encapsulation of someone’s mind on atheism.
not listening to you, pajeet
From the view count it looks like there's a 1/63,000 chance of me being the pajeet, but whatever.
>It is hard to escape the feeling that we are living in the Weimar Republic.
What is the point of all the prophecy autism when a non-Targ murders the night kang? I hate George.
The most writing he's done in the past decade.
Too obvious.
because d&d hates kit harrington
white male
Well, Jon was set up to be the one who defeats the Night King, so they just had to subvert your expectations, you know?
Should have been Jorah
It should have been Jon, but at least Jorah doing it would have been cool and felt more like an interesting subversion instead of the obvious carpet pull type of subversion that ~~*hollywood*~~ has become obsessed with.
No, Night King should have won
It should have been jaime
He's literally the Kingslayer. It would've been like pottery; it rhymes.
I though for sure it would have been Jamie. Kills the Mad King of Fire and Ice the true hero of GoT. Oh well.
That would have been stupid though and was directly against what GOT was about. The series subverted normal fantasy tropes like that and was all about turning the usual expected things on their head.
thats why you flip it again for the reverse subversion
Jaimebros...
Should have been Jon Snow or Jamie else have a better option to defeat the dead that’s not shanking the main boss and cheesing the whole war.
Jaime was supposed to strangle Cersei to death, become the Queenslayer, abandon all of his family possessions and knightly titles, and walk the lands as a one-handed hedge knight.
It is known.
If Jaime and Jon really aren't options for some dumb reason, I think Sam is probably the next best choice.
He discovered dragon glass and saved Gilly from a white walker. He witnessed the kids being taken away. He has more of a white walker connection than Jon honestly. He even has a Valyrian steel sword and his family name to live up to.
Frick off fatty.
The 3 biggest meme characters
The Night King was a moronic concept in the first place. It should have just been a race of humanoids who ultimately come to an uneasy truce with the humans after they battle it out.
No, the game of thrones is a tragedy of nobles squandering everything in the face of looming catastrophe. It is meant to have a bad ending. They mostly all die to the winter/white walkers due to their petty wars
Obviously the Game of Thrones aspect is meant to showcase the futility of power struggles and how it's meant to lead into them being weakened and not prepared from a force of nature, but it's not as fatalistic as "Absolutely everybody is going to get slaughtered". Only the strongest will survive, but it'll likely be resolved from a way of negotiating a peace with The Others.
Arya was the most realistic choice. She spent most of the show training to be an assassin and it's impossible to kill the Night King in a direct fight. Hell, she nearly failed the attempt and people here wanted Jaime, a literal cripple, to do it? Nah, Arya killing him was the only thing that made sense in the last eps
>Hound's biggest struggle is his crippling fear of fire
>Have him beat winter
Lol
>have the night king kill beric
>the hound picks up berics sword, lights the flame,doesnt flinch and uses it to kill the night king
Wouldve been kino.
>character named Kingslayer with hints of a redemption arc
>wasn't considered
Bravo Dung and Drag
