I don't really post on here and I haven't for years. But I do read the boards.
I was talking to a friend earlier about Thrones and I was discussing how I saw the show and something popped in my head about how the show characters are like character in Greek mythology with the gods having their 'chess pieces' in each character. Now I don't know if this theory or idea has been mentioned before. I googled it afterwards and thought someone else must've come up with this before me. As so many on here know more about Thrones than I do. So take the gods and their chess pieces and it's why I think Jon survives, more than he should, as the Lord of Light favours him and does everything he can to help Jon survive, some call it luck. I call it godly intervention, as if you believe in this show then you have to believe in all the Gods also. So Chess piece wise. The Lord of light, his King is Jon, his Queen is Dany. The Old Gods - the King is Bran, the Queen is Sansa. The Many-faced god. King is Jaqen, Queen is Arya. The Great other, the King is the Night's King, Queen is Cersei.
All the other characters can be other pieces, but it's like all the gods are playing a game of chess or at least Greek Mythology chess of men against each other. Just my opinion on it. Again apologies if this has been posted before. I thought of it myself tonight for the first time.
