A huge point-of-discussion before Season 8 has been how Bran will use his abilities to contribute to the cause. Here's how I see it as simply as I can put it.Hodor: Beta-testing. When Bran caught the attention of young Ned we saw that Bran could interact with people in his travels in time. Soon after we had Hold the Door and proof came that 'yes' Bran can interact with the past but only to create a present that already exists. How can that be useful?S8 Trailer: We know episode 3 of this season will be a pretty bleak battle and likely Winterfell will be winterfalling. Many will be lost, the NK will march on King's Landing taking the capital and hope will be near lost entirely, save for what we know, or more importantly what Tyrion knows, he does drink **and** know things after all.WILDFIRE: He knows from his experiences before and during Blackwater that the Mad King deposited stashes of wildfire all over the capital. Cersei went so far as to carry out a controlled version at the end of season 5 where she used what was already under the Sept of Baelor to end the entire Faith Militant and near entire Tyrell threads from the story.THEREFORE: Bran can not change events, only create the present, so he must deliberately influence The Mad King in the past to lose the plot and place all the Wildfire throughout King's Landing so he can, in the present, let those who have the power to blow the show up do exactly that, destroying not only the Iron Throne itself but the entire city built around it, breaking the wheel.AND: The look Jamie will give Bran when he, and we realise Bran made him the Kingslayer. Jamie might even be dead and gone by that point. I do expect there also to be a fight between Jon and the NK but this would explain "Burn them all!" and deliver on the logic of how Bran can use what happened with Hodor as Beta Testing for something like this. First episode ending with Jamie a clear villain and bran a clear victim of the villain. An outcome like this would make sense.
