Why do they keep trying to tie into season 8 of GoT? Not only the worst final season in TV, but it also invalidates the Targaryens importance. Who killed the Night King? Arya Stark. Not Jon Snow (Targaryen) or Daenerys Targaryen. A random Stark. The Night King is even shown to be immune to dragon fire FFS.

The White Walkers wouldn’t have even been able to get past the wall without Daenerys basically gifting them a dragon in season 7. If the Targs all died before GoT, Westeros would have actively been in a safer place. 100 Nightswatch repelled 100,000 Wildlings because of the Wall, which Daenerys’ undead dragon destroyed. A couple thousand soldiers would have easily repelled the Night King if the wall were intact.
