Yeah Bronn's in particular is getting really boring and I was rolling my eyes at it towards the end.
Love the pace this season is moving at.
I don't think Bronn has plot armour as I don't see his death affecting the story at all at this point. It's more 'everyone likes this guy' armour, a subtle difference.
Jaime definitely has plot armour though, at least until he has (speculative but obvious spoilers)
some form of confrontation with Cersei/brutally murders her.
Bronn survives the Dothraki hoard, avoids all dragon fire while running to a super weapon. He then fires an arrow at a dragon, jumps out of the way of the flames just as the super weapon is destroyed. He grabs a horse and then rides towards the pissed off injured dragon and manages to jump in front of the flames with perfect timing to save his mate.
Yeah, no plot armour.
So, from the top
He's a commander so he's not in the line when the Dothraki hit. Their aim and the is
If the dragon fire is not to target individuals but to destroy the shield wall and then rout them. The dragon concentrates its fire on this and then starts to attack threats to
Itself - archers and then Bronn.
Bronn is an experienced fighter and picks his way through the chaos to try and reach the weapon. He is actually bested by the Dothraki rider and is fleeing from him but manages to trick him.
He then only survives Drogon's first attack because he scores a hit. A then more cautious and moving less freely Drogon buys him time to move. Also at that point Dany and Drogon's target isn't Bronn but us the weapon (the only one that can harm them).
At this point the battle is over and his last act of heroism is against a stationary dragon that is wounded and distracted.
Plot armour is such a bullshit phrase - but yes we know some characters are spared.
If Bronn had been in the shield wall and was the only survivor or singlehandedly charged the Dothraki - fair enough but that isn't what happened. The way some of you pick this to bits is ludicrous. Even the fun and awesome sparring scene.
Either way both his and Jsime's plot armour
has left them captured and at the mercy of Dany.
