1. The Missing Characters

This is just the first teaser, and less than two minutes long, so it is of course impossible to fit all of the characters into it. Nonetheless, it's still a little bit of a shame that we don't get to see a few key individuals.

Bran, for example, has one of the potentially biggest storylines left, since he could help both bring down the Wall and/or defeat the White Walkers, but was nowhere to be seen. Gendry, who is almost certainly returning, was left hidden away too (though he might've been hiding in plain sight, since there's a guy with a large hammer who could be him). Maybe that's for the best, to keep it for the show, but it would've been damn exciting.

They could've at least given us Hot Pie, or Podrick, and the absence of Bronn is infuriating because, well, it's Bronn.
