TheRestlessWolf Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Whether it's GC, a dwarf, or other is less interesting to me vs. The actual reveal. Remember bran's dream: "One shadow was as dark as ash, with the terrible face of a hound. Another was armoured like the sun, golden and beautiful. Over them both loomed a giant in armour made of stone, but when he opened his visor, there was nothing inside but darkness, and thick black blood."

Rhodan Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 You know, I'm kinda scared to find out what's under Strong's helm. I know it's going to be messed up. Why scared, when you can be excited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urien the Ragged Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 the question is what do the Hound and Jaime have to do with Robert Strong? Why does Bran's vision have all 3 of them? What's the connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I take from that is that it doesn't matter what's under the helm, what matters is that it is an unholy abomination of pure darkness and evil.

Renolm Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I thought the head of the religious leader (the one that Tyrion was close to/appointed) was unusually large... couldn't that be the skull that was sent to the Martells? I think Robert Strong's head is on Robert Strong's body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annarkie Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Why scared, when you can be excited? Oh, my inner horror fan is all kinds of stoked. But the narrative has set it up to be so gloriously spooky. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Writhen Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Maybe the second shadow refers to Oberyn. Maybe the prophesy means that Cleganebawl© happens but Strong wins ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kinkslayer Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 It makes more sense to assemble a large skull with a little magic and some of the spare "parts" lying around in the black cells. With respect to the name I think it came from a Kettleblack-style brainstorming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wun Up Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 In the S6 trailer it looks like Jofferys head. Looks like his choked out eyes from the purple wedding. The skin too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not Gregor's head still attached to his own body, then I always figured it would be one of the many dwarf heads brought to Cersei who "gifts" them to Qyburn as she does with the other women throughout AFFC.

Yeah, Jaime is LC and the Mountain and the Hound are brothers, we all knew that, why the vision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Daddy Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I don't think the point will be who Robert Strong is or who's head he has. I mean, I'm sure it's really a Frankensteined Mountain and all, with the head that was sent to Dorne an obvious ruse; but the outcome itself will be the point. I think Cersei is going to win and when she does...look out. The High Septon is going to not only die, but suffer some horrible death. Cersei didn't go through everything she has since her downfall started for nothing. She's going to make King's Landing rue the day they mocked her on her walk of shame. Who Strong is? That's just window dressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Asher Forrester Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 On 27/08/2015 at 8:48 AM, theDragonsDance said: I had an idea just now that it could be someone else entirely, no particularly important character just someone else of immense stature. I remember reading about a group of sellswords in Essos made up of extremely large guys, with one of them being around Gregor's size. Qyburn was a member of the Brave Companions, who were also from Essos. Not impossible that Qyburn could have known about this sellsword group, that guy in particular, and to have hired this person and gotten him to come to Westeros to become Robert Strong. The faceless mountain thing could be interpreted as this guy being someone that nobody really knows. I don't know I just thought this up off the top of my head. Even I'm questioning my own theory, like for what reason exactly Qyburn would bring this guy over. Anyway, hopefully we'll have an answer in future books as to who or what exactly is in that armor. Sorry but there is not a chance it is just some random guy from Essos. Qyburn is a necromancer (it is on the appendix), in medieval times people called everyone who studied dead bodies necromancers, but he probably is a REAL necromancer. Why Robert Strong is not a living person? He does not eat, sleep and not even take a shit, so he is clearly an undead, thus clearly Qybyrn who brought him back to life, and who is the only one in almost death conditions near him that have just the same abnormal size? This was the easiest foreshadowing ever, the only great theory that i ever catched all by myself and instantly, even before Robert Strong makes his first appearance. Obviously you are not a great fan of the occam's razor principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemore Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 On 8/22/2015 at 3:15 PM, A Ghost of Someone said: Well, there is a theory that there is no head under the helmet. I think though, maybe getting a bit medically scientific here but a reanimated corpse probably needs motor neurons from the brain to help the body function properly. I always though the head of Small John Umber, which was cut off at the Red Wedding was boiled down to the skull and sent to Dorne and Ungregor / Ser Robert Strong is intact, it is just that it is heresy, especially with the faith around in what Qyburn has done and he is Cersei's known right hand man. Which brings me to another question. Robb Stark's head was probably send to King's Landing and Grey Wind's pelt may be there too or at the Twins under Walder Frey's feet. eek that would be horrific and brilliant all in one go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a king/lord of Winterfell, his remains need to be accounted for. Also, you know damn well that pelt is someone's prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
