Ser Cold Fingers Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Since I'm somewhat new to this forum...I am curious to know what some of the early theories discussed on here that have since been disproved. If you know of any, please share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelborn Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I bet theories about how Robb would deal with Daenerys after he secured the North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryagonnakill#2 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Theons sample chapter certainly changed everything in regards to theories about the pink letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wight Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Between the 1st book and the 3rd book: "Oh my God Robb is going to kill everyone and avenge his father by killing Joffrey, Cersei, Tywin and everyone else who ever said something bad about him!!!" That one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnmaskedLurker Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 There was a somewhat elaborate theory called the "corn code" (I think it had to do with GRRM putting in secret codes based on the use of the word corn in the book, but I never really focused on the details of this crazy theory) that was eventually abandoned. I believe it sparked quite a bit of debate at one time until it was ultimately disproved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Between the 1st book and the 3rd book: "Oh my God Robb is going to kill everyone and avenge his father by killing Joffrey, Cersei, Tywin and everyone else who ever said something bad about him!!!" That one. Show watchers also believed that. In fact, Cristina Kirchner, president of Argentina, tweeted saying she was a fan and wishing that one happening.

Yeah, I believe George really wanted everyone to believe this. Just to break a million hearts later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Cold Fingers Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 A friend asked me if Middle-Earth was on the other side of the planet. I actually didn't know how to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaynsa Starne Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 A friend asked me if Middle-Earth was on the other side of the planet. I actually didn't know how to respond. Like if you sailed west of Westeros, you'd eventually run into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Cold Fingers Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Like if you sailed west of Westeros, you'd eventually run into it? Yup. Just keep going west...when you get to the other side of the plant, opposite from Westeros...you're in Middle-Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yolkboy Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 As I understand it, there was a 'grand unifying theory' (or something worded similar) that was big news way back when. It concerned Littlefinger controlling everything, but crucial elements were disproved by the release of SoS. I think Ran said he had a big part in the theory.

Ser Cold Fingers Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 I did read that one older theory was that Benjen Stark is the Three-Eyed Crow. Since disproved...and the debate on where is or what happened to Benjan Stark continues. Lyssa's admitted that she killed Jon Arryn, so the theory that it was the Lannisters is debunked.

James Steller Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Oooh, what if the North loops all the way over the top of the planet, and becomes the North of Middle Earth as well? Like if Canada and Russia were one landmass linked by the North Pole. It would explain why the dragons came from the north. Also would explain why the Witch-King, a man neither living nor dead, has his base in the north of Eriador. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 The theory that Darkstar was Aegon Targaryen, and the theory that Darkstar was the father of Aegon (with Ashara mostly named as the mother), were disproven about two years ago..

ChillyPolly Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I did read that one older theory was that Benjen Stark is the Three-Eyed Crow. Since disproved...and the debate on where is or what happened to Benjan Stark continues. Not so sure about that one. Perhaps Bran's efforts to reach the 3-eyed crow were foiled when he was intercepted and trapped by the sinister 1001-eyed raven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the destruction of Numenor could coincide with Valyria's apocalypse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jet199 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I think the "LF is behind all bad things theory" is the theory that sent GRRM crying to his editor that he had to change the ending because someone worked it all out. That would explain why we have an underwhelming explanation for Bran's assassination because originally it was supposed to be LF pulling the strings but GRRM decided he wanted to prove that theory wrong. Joff also gets the blame for Ned's death which probably would also have been revealed to be LF. Or maybe GRRM is just planting red herrings and in the end LF will revealed to have been behind most bad things, even the events we already have explanations for, and the grand unified theory will have been right all along. Slightly mad, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
