Aaron Rodgers Hated The ‘Game of Thrones’ Finale and He Wants You To Know It

Aaron Rodgers is pissed off about the Game of Thrones finale. The Green Bay Packers quarterback expressed his disappointment about Bran Stark’s ascension to the throne in a hilarious two-minute-clip that has gone viral. Rodgers not only expounds on the flaws in Tyrion Lannister’s logic, but also offers up a compelling theory that paints Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) as the show’s big scheming bad.

During a locker room interview yesterday, Rodgers was first asked if fans had correctly identified his Game of Thrones cameo from the penultimate episode, “The Bells.” (It turns out they have not!) Naturally, this led to journalists asking if Rodgers enjoyed the show’s finale.

“No,” he said bluntly. “I love the show and it was a great ten years, but no.”

Rodgers’s main issue with the finale was how Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) set up Bran Stark to be king in the wake of Daenerys’s death. Tyrion’s argument is that Bran has the best story of anyone left standing which Game of Thrones superfan Rodgers simply was not having.

“No, Jon had a better story. Dany had a better story. Arya had a better story. Sansa had a better story. Tyrion had a better story. Varys had a better story. Bronn? Lot better story. Jaime, better story. Cersei, probably better story. Any Baratheon, better story,” Rodgers rants.

When a journalist asks then who Rodgers believes should have been on the throne, he confirms that he’s still Team Dany all the way. He even goes so far as to lay the blame of her descent into cruelty on Bran Stark himself!

“If Bran, the Three-Eyed Raven, who’s all about the health of the realm… Let’s think about what he did. He basically wanted the throne the whole time because he’s the one that told the Starks, knowing that Sansa would tell Tyrion, knowing that Tyrion would talk to Varys, knowing that they’d scheme for Dany’s death, knowing that would piss her off, which led to be the Mad Queen,” Rodgers says.

“I love the show, but you know, the writers are also doing Star Wars so I think they might have been a little busy this last season.”
