[Spoilers] Loving that the anniversary has so many of us fans re-watching and reflecting! Came across this article, it was interesting but I was thought the premise was completely flawed. Bran didn't see THE future, I think he saw POSSILBE futures. For example, when he reunites with Arya; he tells her he saw her at the Inn and he didn't know which way she was going to go (north or south). And there are seemingly very ordinary moments that he seems to be observing as if the outcome will shaped or change the course of the future - like when Arya takes the Valyrian dagger from him.
The author basically condemns Bran for not doing anything to stop Dany from massacring everyone at King's landing, and implies that his motivation was to be King, so he knowingly let everything happen as he did knowing the outcome would benefit him. I couldn't disagree more. There's nothing to indicate power is a motivation for Bran. And of all the possible future he saw, I think he tried to influence what he could to get us the best possible outcome, even thou it was tragic in many ways - it was likely less tragic then other outcomes - as scary as that is to imagine! So, I don't think there was anything about his final line that soured it. I thought the line was PERFECTION. He came all that way to give Westeros its best possible future.
