With the White Walkers I just want to see what their deal is. Following on from our LotR references, here's a GRRM quote:So far the White Walkers - admittedly not living breathing human beings! - have been following the exact trope that he is denouncing with this quote. I really hope that he practices what he preaches and there's more nuance to them than simply being grumpy ice zombies.Originally Posted by George RR Martin
The purpose of Bran in the weirwood was specifically to show us that he can influence the past with help of the Three-Eyed Raven. There is no way he could have done that on his own anywhere else or even just speaking with the children of the forest; the location and person involved was specifically pertinent to this revelation.

To be fair, I've often wondered "Why not just let the White Walkers win? Would there be any real downside?" I mean, essentially everyone would then become immortal, right, and the war would be over? They don't seem to have to eat to survive, they don't mind the cold... so resource wars would be less of a thing. Seems pretty win-win. But then, I never see them smile, so I can only assume that they just aren't very happy people, and something must be causing that. I haven't seen the White Walkers mistreat each other in any way though!
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
maybe they're just not very extroverted and keep their smiles inside themselves

can you hear me in the void?
If everyone became flesh-eating zombies, then there'd be no-one to voice opinions like yours, Mr. Carny!
I imagine the white walkers must do something in their spare time. Maybe they build snowmen and igloos together!
I mean they do questionable things with babies, but aye!
Are you trying to make me cry, Shai?
