The Battle of Winterfell was an 82-minute cinematic spectacle which finally saw the demise of The Night King. It was a feat that seemed unattainable since season 1 of Game of Thrones when Ned Stark proclaimed that, "Winter is coming." Many were left dazed and a hell of a lot confused by the ending of GOT Season 8 Episode 3. Firstly, it was not Jon Snow but Arya Stark who killed The Night King. Secondly, The Night King's demise was quick, which was questionable.

A fan on Reddit could not believe that The Night King's demise was so easy and instead came up with a believable theory which brings the most popular conspiracy to light yet again - Bran Stark is The Night King! Talking about the theory, the fan spoke about how the Battle of Winterfell has more going on then what meets the eye. The fan questioned, "Why else was Bran warged for so long? Could it be going back in time to prevent all this bloodshed? Could he have been making a deal with The Night King?" 


Here’s a still taken from the alternate episode 3 ending in which the Night King becomes Bran’s carer and they both live happily ever after.

"When The Night King walked up to Bran, he looked like he accepted his fate. I just feel like The Night King is Bran, The Night King was going to kill Bran to destroy himself. I mean the way The Night King just looked at Bran, it felt like he had to do it when he didn't want to. Arya ruined the plans for Bran. After all this and then they're already going to battle with Cersei? Something just doesn't feel right," the fan theorised.
