We've seen the man turned into the NK, didn't look like Bran. As to Time Travel, Bran can see past events but I don't believe he can change things (Can have a minor effect on things, like calling out to his father). Didn't the Three-eyed-Raven tell him that he can't change the past as events have already happened.
He affected Hodor and Ned heard him calling to him at the Tower of Joy. I think he'll be responsible for the Mad King loosing it too.
Both very minor things. And did Bran change Hodor's past if was always supposed to happen? I'm guessing you blame Bran for everything that happened in the past. And as I mentioned, we've seen the NK being created, Bran has seen the NK being created, pretty sure he'd have recognised himself being turned if it was him.
Or it could just be a ****ing simple story without any of those complications. Though having the kid who falls out a window from a jamie Lannister after thought push be the root off all chaos in westeros sounds fun.
Why did Benjen not get on that horse with Jon though ?? It's like the ****ing door in Titanic, there was easily enough room for both of them
Cos he's a character only there to save Jon. Same as horror was there making that stupid bid or sound for 5 years just for one scene to save bran.
I can think of three reasons. 1) He stayed to distract the Wights, make sure they didn't chase Jon 2) He can't cross the wall 3) He wanted to die, well die again since he's pretty much a living corpse already, and this was a noble way of doing it saving Jon. Its the reason the Children saved him, to fight the WW. FFS
Or he's a ****ing makeweight character Just like Dickon tarly. Frankly uncky benjy has about as many scenes as dickon... hilarious name btw.
Can't disagree with that, you need them in the story for the main characters to kill or whatever. Just like those Red Shirt wildlings who also died and all the other minor characters, shows a bigger world than just the lead characters
Yeah... if he mattered they have stuck in a few drak and brooding horseman scenes watching the bran and jon parties throughout the series A 10 seconds here and there woyld have boosted the character to a knights watch watching his family. As he literally got 2/3 scenes he really was just the vehicle to take main characters out of impossible positions and move on story
