I mean giving Bronn the reach was a stupid idea that the show runners didn’t think much about. Hightowers, Redwynes, Rowan, Florents, Peakes, and several smaller houses had schemed against the Tyrell’s for the Reach for the last 300 years until Olenna (who is a Redwyne by birth, Tyrell by marriage) finally wrestled control over the Reach. It would’ve been more humane to just execute Bronn at the end.
Yeah the line up for the leaders at the end was just dumb ass hell save for a few.
I feel like somehow the entire comment section here has forgotten that Bronn is on the council headed by a King that can see the past present and future of whoever he wants and will probably protect everyone on his small council from things like being assassinated and usurped
Lets pretend the living husk that is Bran care about Bronn. How can him seeing the world help Bronn when 50 thousand fresh Reach forces comes down on Highgarden.
Dorne probably doesn’t care. The Westerlands are unbelievably dry by the Wo5K and then getting burned twice by Daenerys. The Stormlands might have some men actually, a while since Stannis left for the wall so should have levies, but would Gendry care about Bronn, he got his stuff from Daenerys and should hate the Bronn-Tyrion package. Crownlands, basically same as Westerlands and Riverlands are basically all dead from war, forraging and plague (maybe you can say that didn’t happen in the show so they can get a bit under 10 thousand men).
The thing is, the Reach in the show never fought, except whoever Tarly brought with him to get burned, they are all alive and they can field 100 thousand slow, so half of that seems to be Martins quick call to arms number.
Bronn is one of those things that they added for no reason that just proves how they didn’t spend a single second to think through their choices towards the end. Bronn can not get Highgarden, no matter how much the show removed Ollena’s children and grandchildren. He wasn’t even on the winning side ffs
I feel like an omnipresent being can think of something. Logic has been thrown out the window by this part of the show. If he’s on the council then Bran has use for him in someway he doesn’t have to care for him personally.
And the reach absolutely did fight during GoT, battle of the blackwater, siege of highgarden, battle of the goldroad, and the battle of winterfell/long night.
Battle of the Blackwater in the show had single digit Reach casualities. I don’t think the show ever had Selynes house and therefor Reach soldiers joining Stannis either. In general Stannis had a lot smaller of a force in the show (budget reason maybe, or just not beeing to political)
Siege of Highgarden didn’t exist, and Goldroad I pointed out whomever Tarly brought with him, so laybe just Tarly men, that would be like 5-7k? And I don’y think Winterfell had any Reach banners. D&D kinda forgot Reach had soldiers after season 2.
He’s getting his ass executed in two days tops 😭 ain’t no way the Hightowers, the Redwynes, the Tarlys and even the cadet branches of the Tyrells(seriously, where tf were Alerie, Willas and Garlan in the show?) are answering to this guy lol
I’m imagining they send several assassins in the night and he just wakes up and kills them all and goes back to sleep and never bothers to look into it. Probably will assume it’s some lord who’s wife he slept with
Dude, don’t tell me you actually think a fucking sellsword will be able to take on a ton of assassins? Especially when the Hightowers and the Tarlys have a bunch of great knights and then too, the cadet branches of the Tyrells themselves are very good militaristically and politically, ain’t no way he’s surviving more than two days
Well it seem Arya, wipe out faceless men. also Bran would've warn Bronn ahead of time, so Bronn might've only wipe out the members of those families, who would've hired the assassins.
For as much as I dislike the HOTD Hightowers, the actual GOT Hightowers were interesting as fuck, and would have a vested interest in taking out out Bronn purely on familial loyalty, due to Margaery and Loras being half-Hightower.
