Future Null Infinity Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 The idea sparked when I was thinking about the servants of R'hllor only targeting kings and queens with their prophecy, you will never see a priest telling a commoner that he is the promised prince or Azor Ahai, and now as the story is unfolding, it's shown that an army of men with simple dragonglass weapons can defeat the white walkers and who else have armies other than kings. I think it's a part of the genuis writing of GRRM, no need for the usual superhero to save the day in a fantasy story or a super saiyan transformation, I think he wants to tell us that with a little push, people can do extraordinary deeds againt godlike creatures if you tell them that they are intended to do miracles. Azor Ahai is just a story of a normal man passed through generations and became a legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Lovejoy Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I too believe the prophecies are just stories and there is no AA/TPTWP/LH/STWMTW... if characters take this prophecy literally and it motivates them to do great heroic things against the white walkers, then excellent. If it motivates them to burn their daughters for a little sunshine, then that sucks. But there is no singular AA... it is just a legendary mythical story.

Cas Stark Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I think since the show has put the prophecy in....that there is going to be something there beyond legends and mythology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azor Ahai is just a story of a normal man passed through generations and became a legend I completly disagree. You are ignoring all the magic present in asoiaf. To me azor ahai was either someone that controled flames and wanted to forge a sword that could sustain the damage or someone that wanted to forge a magical sword. Then this dude lead a group of men to figth the others and obtained some type of victory... However, this azor ahay dude must have had somekind of magical ability! Besides, nobody ever said that Azor ahai was alone, he have been a king, prince, general... what is importante is that he was the person responsable for the victory. So to me the new azor ahai will be considered to be the one most responsable for defeating the other in this new war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but Melisandre still repeating her prophecy of the TPTWP but the show never explained what is exactly the TPTWP, it's just a motivation trick to push kings and queens to battle the enemy of R'hllor and Azor Ahai was never mentionned in the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
