His entire purpose was bait? Did we really have to suffer through so many of his scenes if he was just bait? haha
Maybe the show didn’t do quite enough to establish his character, and this isn’t the first complaint I’ve read of his character’s importance, but I don’t mind it. Bran is basically the memory of the world of men. He’s like it’s soul. To truly end the world of men, the Night King needs to kill the living memory.

It’s like they both ascribe to a mothership concept. Night King for death and darkness and Bran for life and memory.
