I understand the final arcs for almost all characters, except Bran's.
I understand Dany's downfall, but there was no buildup for it! Would have definitely made more sense and had been great if more time was spent explaining her downward spiral.
I understand Jon's "I don't want it" and begrudgingly having to be Night's Watch Lord Commander and King in the North. Expectations were subverted almost effectively by actually granting him his wish and not giving him the thing he did not want. (Still dumb since only Grey Worm wanted him dead and he went away almost immediately).
I understand Jaime's return to Cersei. It was disappointing after all that character development, but still it is understandable in a twisted way that he was still in love with her.
I understand the Stark family splitting up and having their own adventures. They were split up during the majority of the series anyways, they grew apart from each other.
I do not understand Bran's arc. What is the point of him being the three-eyed raven? I guess it is cool for him to see the past and future and reveal that R+L=J. But why did the Night King come after Bran specifically? He seemed to outlive his usefulness to the plot once the Night King is defeated. Maybe he could have been a very valuable advisor, but instead he's made king? An emotionless teen who seems to barely want to be involved in human affairs (reminded me of Watchmen's Dr. Manhattan) got selected to be king?
Is it better explained in the books?
