They did, but not the Dothraki weapons.

Dragonglass weapons are unrefined. The blade wielded by the Dothraki that Melisandre grabs is very clearly a steel blade.

Ja sending them in without Dragonglass was not very clever

That meme is actually truer to the scene, the white walkers and wights were uninterestingly standing around.

the fires works just as well... so this is a moot point

It was unplanned, and I believe the Dothraki lost more eyebrows to their own weapons than they were able to slay undead.

The scene is moot.

And nobody is saying anything about the fact that Obsidian is brittle as hell, and most of those weapons would have fractured on the first hit. But anyway, carry on...

Yeah, there is a reason Aztec weapons looked like this...

With Obsidian blades rather than being an entire weapon....Maybe dragon glass is different...

No it isn't.

Melisandre was not there for the battle plan and nobody counted on her turning up. If she never arrived the Dothrakis would have been 100% incapable of killing a single white walker between them and yet they were the first line of attack. Which is another problem as the living were on the defensive so they should not have been the ones riding off in to the darkness.

They were just doomed to be wiped out for plot purposes and the writers could've done a better job with them.

Bran warg'ed into a raven, they pretty much illustrated that much in the scene.

The undead knew exactly where they were marching to, they enclosed Bran with no doubt where he is. Then the Night King came walking in with his mates so the Night King could sense and see through his walkers. He is controlling them.

I'm not sure what you are trying to add.

I know he warg'ed into a raven - I'm asking why ? Why would he need to spy on the NK ?

The NK can see what Bran sees... so Bran looked elsewhere.

Why didn't the army of the dead just attack the God's wood directly ? They didn't go directly for him at all.

No one knew Melisandre was going to rock up and give them fire.....hence im saying sending them in "as is" was not very clever....

Yeah, I have an issue with that as well.... originally it was "a wight can be destroyed by fire" - meaning that you have to pretty much completely engulf it in flames. Somehow that got changed to "stab it with a lit match"!

So who is going to end up killing Cersei?

Here are my top 5 in order from most likely (1) to least likely (5):
1. Sansa Stark - She has been through hell under Cersei and has a score to settle.
2. Jaime Lannister - He will most likely kill her to defend Tyrion or another important character (Dany/Jon)?
3. Tyrion - Again, only to save another character - maybe his brother?
4. Arya - A bit obvious and not my favourite option. But heck she has it all going for her to off the queen bitch.
5. Jon - King vs Queen showdown. Possible but unlikely.

Bran WAS spying on the night king. The ravens flew up to the dragon and spied on him from there, Bran only stopped when the night king got close to him. That's all there is to that.

My guess is none of those. Probably someone random like Bron. Or even Euron when he realises he's on the losing side and tries to swing a deal and/or realises that she lied to him about the kid being his...

Obsidian?

Obsidian is volcanic glass. What they call dragon glass.

Why didn't the army of the dead just attack the God's wood directly ? They didn't go directly for him at all.

The Godwood is a sanctuary within the castle’s walls. The wights scaled the wall, the giant barged through the gatehouse and the dragon collapsed the wall. Everything they did was to gain access to the sanctuary and surround Bran. Not to mention that the Night King knows where Bran is, no reason to see what he sees.

Why Bran warg'ed? Ask the writers, because as I already said it is nonsensical.

The whole battle plan was designed to direct the undead to Bran, because that was the direction the Night King would move in which he did.

The whole dragon battle was all show. Once the Long Night hit them, mankind was all 'blind'. Strangely though, they could lit the wall, but the trench had to be magically lit...
