The second wall and Tyrion the traitor: five fan theories about the game of thrones finale»

Logical theory: the second wall

The fact that the construction of another wall would be a reasonable solution in an attempt to contain the invasion of the whirlwinds under the leadership of the white walkers and the King of the Night, thought for a long time, but appeared in early December teaser provoked a new wave of discussion of this guess. In the video found something similar to the barrier that occurs at the point of collision of ice and flame on the map.

As suggested by the user under the nickname Reddit VixToonsDesign, the heroes did not win over the army of the walking dead. Instead, they will erect another tall structure, but this time-from dragon glass, deadly to walkers. "Winning not only the survivors," — said VixToonsDesign. According to him, such an outcome is consistent with the "bittersweet ending" promised by the author of the original books by George R. R. Martin.

The editor of the fan resource Winter is Coming David Harris notes that the second wall can be stretched in the narrowest place of Westeros: from Cape Bifurcated Claw to the Bay of Iron Men, along the river Trident and its tributary Blue Tooth. That way, it will split the continent in half. According to this theory, all survivors will be forced to live in the southern part of Westeros.

Sadly, in this case, Jon snow is unlikely to live to see the end of the wall: it will obviously take more than one day, and someone will have to bleed and then win time for the rest. Snow is likely to be the first (and possibly only) candidate for the role of hero. However, given the bloodthirstiness of the creators of the series, he may die before, and his death just give others the idea of the impossibility to defeat the King of the Night.

A logical theory with a crazy twist: the triumph of democracy

Prophecies are an important part of the game of thrones universe. In one form or another prediction (or just a mysterious phrase) in large numbers appeared in the series for seven seasons. One of these phrases sounds like"the dragon has three heads." According to another fan interpretation, it is about three Targaryens, who eventually will be on the Iron throne.

Viewers already know that the real name of Jon snow — Targaryen Reagan and he is Daenerys nephew. User BigdaddyBach with Reddit believes that another "hidden Targaryen" can declare Tyrion — in the event that his father was not Tywin Lannister, and iris II. This possibility exists: Tywin has repeatedly insisted that Tyrion is not his son (though he once said this to Jaime).

Of course, this is hard to believe, but the concept of transition from an absolute monarchy to a more democratic form of government in Westeros seems even appropriate. Of course, this does not mean that the ending will be positive for everyone: no matter how many rulers ascended to the throne at the same time, not everyone has to live up to the final.

An intriguing theory: actually, the Tyrion — Cersei agent

In the sixth season Tyrion Lannister joined the team Daenerys and soon became her hand. A little later, he was imbued with tender feelings to the Stormborn (this long-standing theory was finally confirmed by the scripts of the seventh season that got into the network). However, the mother of dragons yet chose on his own nephew — John snow. As told by the performer of the role of Tyrion Peter Dinklage, his hero is very concerned about what is happening between the two Targaryens.

And again I remember the prophecy. In the second season, Daenerys was in the House of the undying, where she predicted three infidelity: blood, gold and love. The first traitor was Mirri MAZ Duur, who deprived the Stormborn husband and son. The second was Jorah Mormont, who had been spying on Daenerys for a while in favor of Varys. The third place is still vacant, and Tyrion in love may well take it.

Betrayal of Tyrion is able to push the news about the imminent arrival of the new Lannisters. In the last episode of the seventh season between Cersei and his brother there was a dialogue that broke in half-word-Tyrion guessed that his sister was pregnant. The further course of the conversation the viewer is not shown, but appearing on the screen next time, Cersei had already told about the readiness to support the army of Daenerys in a battle with the white walkers.

From this we can conclude that the Lannisters made a secret deal: for example, Tyrion promised his sister that her children would eventually take the Iron throne.

Picky theory: daenerys dragons are not dragons

This fact does not affect anything, but it is possible that the two remaining Daenerys wards and their now belonging to the King of the Night brother will be no dragons. If you believe the majority of works of art and classical heraldry, dragons most often have four legs and two wings. In "Game of thrones" (both in the books and in the series) they have two wings and only one pair of limbs. However, suitable under this description the Wyvern they can not be attributed because they do not spew flames (and the children of Daenerys that are willing to deal with) — George R. R. Martin calls these monsters" cold " dragons. In the universe of "Songs of Ice and Fire" there are also fire worms — fire-breathing, but wingless monsters.

Discussions in the media on this topic began recently, when a dispute arose on Reddit between fans of The game of thrones and the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. However, fans forget that Martin himself a few years ago told about the reason for these discrepancies. The writer was concerned that in the real world, no beings in the process of evolution remained with four legs and two wings and because of these considerations, we decided to make adjustments to the established way of dragons. When creating his own dragons Martin focused on bats, birds and pterodactyls — and heraldists, in his words, "do not know a damn thing in biology."

Unrealistic feminist theory: all men will die

The favorite saying of the heroes Of "game of thrones" — "Valar Morgulis" - is translated into English as All men must die (under this slogan was the fourth season of the show). This can be interpreted in different ways: in English men can mean both "people" and "men". In the third series of the third season, Daenerys during a conversation with Messantia responsible for this phrase is poignant comment: "Yes, all men are mortal. But we are not men."

This ending seems pretty crazy, but it is in the spirit of today. If desired, a hint of such an ending can be found in a September interview with actress Macy Williams (she plays Arya stark) Elle magazine. According to the girl, after reading the script, she was very happy, because for the female characters of the eighth season will be "incredible".

It is known that Arya will definitely appear in the final series, but in his last scene will be alone. This can be interpreted in any way — including in the most pessimistic way.
