Why does he have the same powers as Bran?
Night King is future Bran
I don't recall Bran raising the dead
>>87073617
> Bran
> I am your father
>>87073650
>implying he isn't just warging into all the wights.
>>87073736
holy shit
Because he's a Greenseer too
>>87073736
this is actually viable
>>87073736
why do they need to die for him to do it? Why can't he just warg himself into the night's watch and have them open the gate?
>>87073983
>speedwatchers
the latest makeup job makes him look more like bran
initially he looked (like in the op pic) different
but yeah, I think the "reveal" they're going for is that the children were spiking humans to make them into white walkers until they spiked a human that was strongly gifted with greensight, which turned him into a unique white walker that's too powerful for them to control so it got out of hand.
if the current NK dies Bran will somehow become the new one
>>87074014
> watching unironically
no seriously faggot explain why this blue faggot can't just warg the entire night's watch like when they had the season 2 battle outside the wall have them walk back into castle black and open the gate
>>87074016
But they only got green sight from breeding with Children or that's at least a major theory
>>87074118
Warging humans is dangerous and difficult, even a retard like Hold Door
>>87073983
The dead are easier to warg into. Also there's a limit, seeing as how he needs white walkers to warg into additional dead soldiers.
>>87074215
> The dead are easier to warg into
citation needed
You'd think it would be harder since they're fucking dead
>>87074247
It's a different skill tree
whatever happened to this baby?
When did Bran create ice spears that kill dragons?
>>87074458
he's in white walker school
house stark is descended from the night king?
shouldn't they be blue walkers?
Do white walkers take shits? Do they maintain and launder their clothes and armor? I'm interested in the idea of magic niggers having to do mundane stuff
>>87074546
what about their tax policy?
>>87074514
no, the night king is descended form house stark
>>87074546
The Others have a language, walkers are just zombies
>>87074247
Why do you think you couldnt be a necromancer in the elder scrolls? Its far too weak and for pussy witch bois
>>87074592
What others?
>>87074600
give me a single instance in this entire shitshow and the book series of a warg or a greenseer taking control of dead niggers
>>87074659
I dont even watch this absolute mess of a show, im just here to shitpost
>>87074600
This pissed me the fuck off. I wasted all that time leveling negromancy so that I could make undead giants only to find out that you can't revive giants. Fuck Bethesda. Fuck the entire American video game industry
>>87074162
it doesn't matter for the show since the children in the show are barely touched upon.
>>87074653
The ones who seem sentient
>>87073983
probably the same reason Bran could easily warg into animals and hodor (empty brain) but not living people.
>>87074653
White walkers in the books are called the others and they're pretty different.
>>87074653
In the books they're called the others
>>87074458

kek

Tell me lies tell me lies tell me sweet little lies
>>87073736
This is what I thought all along. It explains how they manage to maintain discipline and carry out complex actions without receiving any instruction.
>>87074016
Someone else posted. He wargs into the human that's about to be turned into a white walker. The three eyed raven then gets turned into a white walker, essentially. Becomes king shit, detroys all the children.
>>87074723
With mods you can do anything
>>87074162
>breeding with children gives you powers
Art imitates life yet again
>>87075085
Sounds lit senpai
The former three eyed raven wasn't a walker, why is Bran?
The theory would make more sense if Bran didn't essentially inherit the job from another guy.
>>87075085
If he became the night king then there would have been no first long night, no azor ahai, no prophecy, no jon snow, no wall, etc
literally the entire story would be erased
>>87075547
it hasn't happened yet in the future, only the past
>>87073736
This is so fucking probable. Holy shit. You honestly blew my mind. It explains why the wights "die" when the white walker that created them dies. It just doesn't explain how the other wight walkers can also warg. Are they all Stark's?
>>87075547
max von sydow didn't live long enough to tell bran not to warg into people about to be turned into white walkers.
>>87074860
Wasn't Hodor normal before he scrambled his brain warging into him, though?
Coinkidink?
>>87075774
>It just doesn't explain how the other wight walkers can also warg. Are they all Stark's?
they're sons that he made.
>>87075774
yeah and it seems Starks are immune to becoming zombies hence Benjen
>>87074458
he's the other night king
>>87075901
He didn't become a walker because the children of the forest stopped the process. Nothing to do with being a Stark.
>>87075897
Well some of them are Craster's children. That means Craster must have been a Stark.
>>87076025
>That means Craster must have been a Stark.
>>87075934
well they didn't stop it for anyone else, so Stark lineage might play a part
>>87076066
Explain?
>>87076201
he wasn't killed instantly? Wasn't Benjen stabbed by a wight with an ice spear and was slowly turning when the children stopped it with dragon glass?
>>87073617
Didn't he kill the Three Eyed Raven? Maybe the Three eyed Raven is a wight and he can now do what he does.
>>87076275
pretty obvious craster is not a stark
>>87077621
How so? Can you elaborate? He's the son of a brother of the Night's Watch and a wildling. Why couldn't his father have been a Stark?
>>87077756
Warging isnt specific to Starks.
Some wildlings have done it too.
>>87075828
>Wasn't Hodor normal before he scrambled his brain warging into him, though?
And this is why I hate time travel. But I guess you could argue that it was easier since Hodor was a child.
>>87077783
Why do the White Walker's specifically need Craster's boys then? It's obvious only certain people can become White Walker's or else they would turn them all.
>>87077834
I think they need babies. Not too many unattended babies north of the wall besides Craster's
>>87077873
Impossible because the Night King wasn't a baby when he was turned. Benjen was almost turned as well.
>>87077960
Maybe having the blood of the First Men is required. Majority of the Night's Watch are criminals from the south, so they are all Andals and can't be turned. Where as Starks and some Wildlings like Craster are of the North.
>>87078002
I can get behind this, but I still think it's only Stark blood especially if Bran ends up actually being the Night King.
>>87077834
The show is written by hacks, they are just hoping everyone forgot the bizarre ritualistic behavior of the White Walkers because they want the Walking Dead audience.
>>87078093
>they are just hoping everyone forgot the bizarre ritualistic behavior of the White Walkers
Then why would they have added this scene in season 4 when it wasn't in the books at all.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhyLKJgd8Zw
Did everyone forget the fact that bran cant fucking walk? wouldnt it be a little out of character for him to turn into a White Walker?
>>87078204
So. Dead people can't walk either. What makes you think that matters?
>>87075696
what if the long night is just a giant time loop? hmm
>>87073736
Then why do all the wights under certain walkers die? Is he warging them through the walkers?
Retard.
>>87078376
>you will never walk, but you will fly
>>87073617
forget about that, i wanna know what his tax policy issnowcialism
>>87078195
>>87078074
>>87075774
The important question is what the Night king aims to do.
Is it just mindless slaughter to make a quiet westeros?
>>87074458
he got better
Why doesn't he just warg into himself to create an infinite warg loop and destroy the night king along with the universe?
>>87073736
then how did the one who tried to kill Mormont come back to life? If the NK can raise all dead, on both sides of the wall, why don't he?
Also, why would he care to control the one they brought to King's Landing?
>>87081207
Possibly a result of the Children's ritual. They were creating a weapon to use against men, the Night King might still have "all men must die" as it's raison d'ĂȘtre. It's just not under the CotF's control either.
>>87080116
nice
>>87082244
I was convinced that it was just going to lay there like a corpse while Clegane kicked it and Cersei smirked.
this theory is really stupid tbqh
time travel legit ruins everything.
ruins theories because legit ANYTHING can happen
>>87082837
Not when you do it the way they have in this series. Only things that have already happened can happen. Just like the third Harry Potter. The timeline is set in stone.
>>87082426
Same.
>>87074659
It's implied Coldhands is just Bloodraven in a corpse.
>>87074653
>>87074878
I actually think in the books that the white walkers hybrids are just servants and the real Others are those ice spider things that Old Nan talks about. Humans just assumed the ones that looked more like themselves must be in charge.
>>87073736
>>87073913
>>87073949
>>87075774
Summerfags soooooooo much. This theory is like a decade old.
>>87078195
It was strongly implied in the books.
>>87073736
>>87073617
you can't warg into dead bodies STUPID
If it's all just cocks in the end, why are there no white walker women for them to fuck?
>>87084216
The show isn't even a decade old and this is /tv/.
>>87073617
Why did they switch actors for him? First one looked better desu
>>87084307
>The series began development in January 2007.[2]
It has been in Prestons reviews for years tho. Lurk more
>>87084246
>implying this isn't literally what Jon will do
>>87084377
might as well warg into Bravoos titan and kick everyone out
>>87084264
Because Dungeon and Dragon changed the entire nature of the Others just to have hteir WHAT A TWEEST with Bran.
In the books there are female white walkers that presumably can make white walker babies.
>>87084403
We don't know how warging works exactly. Varamyr as some point is just a ghost in the air.
>>87084426
>In the books there are female white walkers
There is one. In a myth. A few 1000 years old.
> Dungeon and Dragon changed the entire nature of the Others
This is true tho.
