So, a number of edits have popped up about the Night King\'s powers in \"The Door\", such as this one:

* AssPull: S6, Episode 5 \"The Door.\" Climactic and exciting as [[spoiler: the White Walkers converging on the cave]], there was absolutely nothing to indicate that [[spoiler: the White Walkers could somehow mark a person in a vision in a way that not only allows them to track them, but also breach their magical defenses]].

I personally don\'t see how this is an AssPull. Yes, we didn\'t know the Night King had that power, but we don\'t know that much about the Night King in general. He obviously possesses some sort of magical power, but exactly what he can do and what his limits are has never been established. He is, however, implied to be very powerful, even compared to the others of his kind. So while there might not have been any reason to believe he had this ability before he used it, at the same time, I don\'t think there was any reason to think he didn\'t either.

Now if someone like Brienne were to suddenly have this ability, that would be an AssPull, because we know she\'s just a human and normal humans can\'t do stuff like that. But the Night\'s King, I think, is mysterious and powerful enough that him having an ability like this isn\'t that hard to believe.
