Hackathon Description "I don't plan on knitting by the fire while men fight for me. I might be small, Lord Glover, and I might be a girl, but I am every bit as much a Northerner as you… and I don't need your permission to defend the North."

Problem Statements

Though there was a lot of other stuff going on in the show, it seemed like the main focus of the final season would be the Night King and his army. After breaking through the Wall at the end of season 7, they were marching on Westeros to fulfill the Night King's evil plan.

But the show never really got into what that plan was. There were vague presumptions about wiping away Westeros' history and turning everything into members of his army of the dead, but no motivations were given. Martin enjoys building complex villains so it's unlikely he'll leave the Night King as some one-dimensional ghoul.

Bran Becomes King

Few people predicted Bran would sit on the Iron Throne by the end of the series and the decision didn't sit well with many fans. It was made worse by Tyrion's pointless reasoning of Bran having the best story. Not only is that a bad reason for choosing a king, but there are many characters with more interesting stories than Bran.

Martin likely told the showrunners Bran would be king, but his reasoning is probably much different. The fact that Bran becomes the Three-Eyed Raven and can now see everything that has happened throughout history is a much better reason for making him king.

Eligibility

After being introduced in season 6 as a rather forgettable new villain, the show seemed to reinvent Euron Grejoy as a more memorable character. The result was a cartoonish and over-the-top villain who seemed to bring the show down whenever he was on screen.

Though Euron has not had a big part in the books thus far, Martin has already managed to make him much more effective than the show. He is a truly evil man capable of terrifying things and he could be a very compelling threat in the later novels.

FAQ

First Half

Game of Thrones deserves all the credit in the world for showing the scale of what can be done on a television show. But while the Battle of Winterfell should have been the most epic battle in the show, it was a messy and dull showdown that was deeply disappointing.

While reading about a battle might not be as entertaining, Martin at least knows how to build stakes in these moments. He knows that characters need to die in order for audiences to feel the threat and he knows the heroes have to be active instead of sitting around doing nothing.
