Complaining about fantasy aspects in a fantasy tv show isn't one of them.
It still has to function in the reality it's created. Imagine if the Red woman prayed to the Lord of Light and got a rocket launcher and 67 ford mustang. As awesome as that would be, it would be shitting on the entire lore.

As GRRM had this set up from day dot I'd say it's very much the reality of this world.

If Red Woman brings into play a bazooka and 67 Stang I'll complain with you.

Until then this is the world, and warg time travel is a part of it.

How does this not make sense???

It makes perfect sense

What wouldnt make sense would be Hodor living a normal life, Bran warging him in the past, and in the present Hodor turning into his hodor self and holding the door.

That would be way too convenient.

The fact that the timeline doesnt change (i dont agree its circular, its linear with the ability to go back and alter things but that changes the linear timeline, which only exists if you go back yadada) means there can be no lets go back in time and change time, no back to the future bullshit, it's fundamentally more real and serious because the past cannot be changed

Which I have no problem with. They still need to execute it in manner that makes sense.
Sense like a girl who can't be burnt, people coming back from the dead, superhuman ice men who can only die from dragon materials, assassin's who can change faces, zombie cleganes....

All these are perfectly acceptable but holy shit, can't have time traveling wargs. That doesn't make sense.

WE ******* UNDERSTAND IT. Our issue is it removes agency from characters.
No it doesnt

Brans warging removes agency from characters, not fate or destiny or timeline alterations.

Where you this upset when Bran warged into Hodor to keep him quiet at the tower?

Yeah Hodor couldnt have killed himself five years ago, but it's not fate or future stopping him from killing himself, hust that he doesnt. It doesnt remove agency, just shows that in a linear timeline he happens to survive his decisions up until that point

Youre having a whinge over nothing as usual

If people can't see why the introduction of timeloops (not mere time travel, but destined timeloops) is completely different to everything else in the show then... I can't help them.

Where did I say you can't have time travel. You can't have a timeline that requires the future to happen in order for the future to occur.

Bran is going to lead the White Walkers to the wall, because he is now marked and it be the catalyst for them going south.
Surely the white walkers can go through the wall with or without Bran? The cave under the three eyed crow's weirwood was different because it was protected by magic but the wall isn't.?
