This is an interesting point. I was talking earlier to someone about it.
Are you an MCU fan? Did you like Endgame?
What about the part when Dr. Strange sees the future and purposely starts a chain of events that ultimately lead to the extinction of half the universe? Yeah, they came back, but they may not have. Not to mention all the permanent deaths that happened in the process.
I see it as pretty much the same thing with Bran. He found a path to a hopeful future and helped it to play out. Horrible things happened but it was all for the greater good. That's what I have worked out so far, anyway.
Dany dying would get rid of this stupid pesky argument about who gets the throne and Jon can just be miserable for the rest of his days and mourn her in sad mopey winterfell silence while his sister rules the seven kingdoms and lets Jon be in charge of an independent north. On the first page I said Dany but now I low key hope she dies. Gendry I think also lives too because to wipe out the king's entire house would be nihilistic on GRRMs part and while he's a bastard he's not entirely a nihilist. plus that would make a cute circular ending to s1e1 "you have a son I have a daughter lets join our houses". just a different son and a different daughter.
