I thought Bran fucking up Hodor was a huge mistake though. And how did he mess with the brain of the mad King? I don't remember that at all.

Maybe I'll have to rewatch it all because I don't remember anything about him manipulating time. I kind of remember him being able to see, but then certain people having a sixth sense sort of where they could notice him?

Are you going off the books or just the show?

Just the show, since it was Game of Thrones. Figure book readers would go by the actual name.

There's a short scene when he's messing about in the past were he pops over to the King, and if I remember correctly, that's when the King goes mad. Shouldnt be long after the Hodor scene. It's been a few years. But I distinctly remember being like 'wait, it was his fault!? That little shit!'

I looked it up and saw some of that idea being called fan theories, backed up by "if he could warg-affect hodor, and that was breaking some warg laws, then he was repeatedly breaking them and could obviously time travel" which got fan theoried into him being the source of the mad King AND Bran is actually the night king.

Honestly, I just attribute a lot of that to bad directing near the end of the show. It was already falling off for a long time by then, and it was unclear and you had to kind of presume what was happening off screen and what capabilities were.
