I think it would be great irony if the Mountain that Rides gets permanently killed by being thrown off a mountain. "When mountains blow in the wind..." Then hopefully smashing his non-head on a very pointy, sharply formed rock sticking out of the mountain on his way down. Hmm, maybe Cersei should send Ser Robert Strong to the Eyrie, I heard there are some shenanigans happening over there she might not like. Besides I heard the view out the Moon Door is quite to die for.

if only. but unfortunately I don't think people will be going back to the eyrie now that winter has come

Nice link Angalin, but I prefer this one.

On topic, The Brotherhood without Banners hangs Sandor/ Jaime (dramatic irony)
Dany goes crazy, Barristan kills her and finally understands Jaime
Aegon gets burned in a fire, Dany says "LOL proves he's not a true Targ" before falling into a fire to her death
Euron Crow's Eye turns out to be a gentleman but we've only seen him through the eyes of characters that hate him (those 3 were situational irony)

if Tommen strangles Cersei

Does Tommen qualify as a "Valonquar"? After all, he is also a "younger brother"...

Yeah he does, thats why I think it would be a good end to Cersei

[Hear Us Roar]

i would find that to be hilarious

[Tyrionthebest]

It would be better if he smashed Dany's head but that is never going to happen .

I think GRRM is setting things for exactly that to happen.

[Viserys_The Transformed]

Stoneheart dies by drowning !

[Team Bolton]

Varys kills Tormund...

[King Tyrion VII]

Or if Robert Strong has the face of MULTIPLE people.

And Tommen dies as King....from old age.

Have there been any threads that analyze all the quotes pertaining to Robert Strong? I'm suddenly interested in re-examining the Mountainstein That Rides theory. Maybe it is true, but with a twist.

Actually, this is precisely what irony of fate, or cosmic irony is.
You try to avoid something but in the end the action itself starts a chain of events that lead to the same outcome.

A coincidence would be that Robert Strong kills, say, Tommen, by bashing his head against a wall. That's a coincidence.

If everything they say about Aegon is true and if he somehow ends up getting his head smashed against a wall by Robert Strong, then yes it is great irony because this outcome is exactly what was supposed to have been avoided through the baby swap in the first place.
So yeah, in that case, that would be terribly ironic.

It kind of depends on why unGregor would kill Aegon to make it ironic.  If the Red Viper killed Gregor because he thought Gregor killed Aegon (check), Gregor is then resurected by mad maester into a tool for destruction for Cersei (check).  Aegon who is actually is alive then attacks King's Landing (probably a check).  Cersei sends frankengregor out after Aegon because he is her appointed tool for destruction (possibly a check).  Then ungregor does actually smash in Aegon's head (also possible), that would be pretty ironic.

Robert Strong Nymeria Sand ends up smashing Young Griff/Aegon's Tommen's head against a wall.
- more like it to me.

Robert Strong has possibly no head. Last time Clegane's head was in Dorne so..

Read it somewhere on this forum that Qyburn possibly attached Robert Baratheon's head to the corpse, so it'll have a head and that's where Robert comes from. But it could be Falyse's head too, for all we know *yuck*

Anyway, I think the greatest irony would be if Jon Snow was Eddard Stark's bastard on Wylla and Lyanna Stark died a virgin after cutting her veins and bleeding to death.

And if Jaime's hand(s) of gold ended up smothering a certain whore whose hands are warm... no, this wouldn't be a great irony. but it would be a mental crackpot theory... :/// I hate those.

[Ser Lepus]

Ran has suggested a theory  that the Daynes are descended from the original Azor Ahai and his comrades, and that Dawn is the original Lightbringer....so, if Jon really were the son of Ashara Dayne and Eddard Stark, he would carry the blood of Azor Ahai, intermixed with that of the ancient Kings of Winter (Ice and Fire, anybody?).

So, if that's true, all that crackpot theories that say Jon is Azor Ahai and the Prince Who Was Promised and the legitimate heir to the Iron Throne because he is a Targayren would be wrong: He would be the Prince Who Was Promised because he's exactly what we were told in first place, the bastard of Ned and Ashara.

Also, for added irony, all that Targayren sense entittlement and self-importance would be negated: The prophecy wasn't about you or your family at all, Rhaegar!

And Myrcella becomes a queen too, because she marries Trystane, the future king of Dorne, and dies of old age too.

Fixed.

I said this in another thread but i think Robert Strong is going to kill Tommen by accident during Cerseis trial. Tommen will go out to save one of his cats and Roberts foe will dodge his swing and it will hit Tommen. Just my theory

[richard_ba]

It would be a great irony if The Wall ends up smashing up Sir Robert Strong's head against Young Griff/Aegon

/fixed

[Bluesnow]

The prophesy tells Cersei she would outlive all her children. Tommen can't strangle her unless he dies first.... So UnTommen strangling Cersei?

This. Also, I didn't see any extended, pointless descriptions of violence in this thread. Just saying.
