Bran Stark "group project" memes are going viral after the Game of Thrones finale
21 May 2019, 16:37
Bran Stark unexpectedly became King on Game of Thrones and the internet is making plenty of Bran Stark memes, including "group project" memes about the character.
Bran Stark group project memes have people comparing the character on Game of Thrones to the one person in a group assignment who does nothing and still gets an A.
The Game of Thrones finale surprised audiences everywhere. Following Daenerys Targaryen's rampage against the citizens of King's Landing, fans were completely unsure of what to expect heading into the final ever episode of Game of Thrones. In the end, Bran Stark became king of the six kingdoms and Game of Thrones writers managed to give viewers an ending that virtually no one saw coming.
Game of Thrones fans think "Bran the Broken" is the worst nickname ever and they're not wrong
Some people are arguing that Bran Stark "did nothing" to deserve the kingship, comparing him to the slacker in a group project.

The night king was misunderstood. He was pissed that Bran was going to get a A on this group project when he contributed nothing.#GameOfThronesFinale pic.twitter.com/Gym8mMasrB

Bran is that person in a group project who does NOTHING the entire time, but shows up on presentation day and gets all the credit. #GameOfThrones #GameOfThronesFinale pic.twitter.com/ONYOr9r5jG

While Bran doesn't do any of the fighting or diplomacy work on Game of Thrones, his role as the three-eyed raven did have some important outcomes. For example, the knife that Arya kills The Night King with was given to her by Bran, presumably because he knew what she would do with the weapon.
Symbolically, Bran being the boy who Jaime pushed out of the castle window in season 1 versus king at the end of season 8 is quite an arc. Still, people thought Bran's siblings did 99% of the work on the show.
The decision to make him king inspired tons of other Bran Stark memes.

if Bran Stark can wait out the entire war napping and getting high in the woods and grow up to become King of the Six Kingdoms, I can surely make it to week’s end.

Some people thought Bran was straight up scheming the whole time.
Doesn't tell anyone the future and let's everyone die just so they don't veer off the path to making you King. Slow clap Bran. #GameOfThrones #BranStark pic.twitter.com/fGyEB6KOx5

No matter what you thought of the ending, you have to admit that elevating Bran to the throne is the perfect misdirection. Plus, having a character who has been in a wheelchair since season 1 become king is pretty badass.
