The only thing that has not yet come to pass (Brann's visions) is the vision of the Dragon flying over KL. And yet The show runners state that the most crucial of Bran’s visions is a dragon’s eye view over King’s Landing. Brann's purpose all along has been stopping the NK. This has been foretold by both Benjen and Jojen.
The theory states that a fraction of the Knight Kings army has broken off, and is approaching KL, which is left utterly defenseless.The Knight King's army has suffered major loss's and needs re-reinforcements. What better place to get them that than a city that hosts 500,000 people (brought up by Jon in season 6) Winter has already hit KL, and Cersei, unlike Sansa is ill prepared for winter.
So KL is easy pickings for the NK. Brann is faced with a decision, if the NK reaches KL, all is lost. he wargs into a dragon, sets KL a blaze, and in doing so (intentionally) sets off the wildfire stored below the city killing every man woman and child in the city, and a good portion of the NK's army in the process.
If killing 1/2 a million people is "not a big deal" then I don't know what is.
This not only fulfills the dragon vision, but the visions had by Dany and Jon of a burned out throne room covered in ice.
Just fan theory stuff. What makes you think Bran can warg into a dragon operated by NK who has easily stopped his warging ways before?
I think the war goes there and ends there. They’ll kill the ice dragon there and Jon will then fight the NK there.
Guess in the end, it depends on how much importance you want to put on bird brain Bran’s tracking and advice given while the real hero does the heavy lifting but the ending has already been revealed in previous seasons. Jon is the real hero and leader, Bran just one of many allies he now has.
Arya will play a role in helping the Hound get to his bro and Jaime get to his sister so maybe she’s more of a hero. Or maybe Jaime more of a hero cause he gets to the mad queen before she can give the order to burn them all. Maybe Hound cause he takes out her freak guard allowing Jaime to get to her. Then Melisandre to return to die and help Jon defeat the NK. Both those things will happen simultaneously so maybe she’s more of a hero.
Point is Bran is just another ally of the real heroes, Jon and Dany, of the whole story.
