Bran Stark/Three-Eyed Raven was the Night King's target, and he might've killed him too if he hadn't decided to suddenly start moving in slow motion when reaching for his sword. Still, that he did and, now that he's dead, what becomes of Bran's role on the show?

With his connection to the Night King and the Children of the Forest, alongside his powerful warg and greensight abilities, it felt like his biggest part to play was still to come in the Great War. Instead he just sat there and seemingly let it all play out (assumedly he had an idea of what would happen).

Now that the White Walkers have been dealt with, though, what does Bran have left to do? Yes, he's the one who preserves the memory of Westeros, but that's not exactly a storyline.
