James Steller Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 We’ve heard pretty much every possible outcome on sites like this, but let’s limit ourselves to the top 40 or so, but even that’s open to interpretation. Either way, your least three favourite Theories about this series. The ones you really hope are not true. In no order: 1. Varys is anything that’s not human. 2. Tyrion is the illegitimate son of King Aerys II Targaryen. 3. Stannis will become the new Night’s King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon Claude Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 1. Ashara Dayne is the mother of Meera and Jojen Reed 2. Cleganebowl (I will only believe in it as being legitimate when I see it written down on the page of the books) 3. Mance Rayder is Rhaegar Targaryen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floki of the Ironborn Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 1. Roose Bolton is a vampire 2. Theon is secretly the Hooded Man. I don't want any of that Fight Club cockalorum. 3. Howland Reed is the High Sparrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissdbyfire Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Cool, several of my personal least favourite ever have already been mentioned, namely, Mance is Rhaegar (but this one for me can be expanded into “X” is really “Y”); Theon Durden; Vampire Roose; Tyrion is the son of Aerys and Joanna Lannister; Cleganebowl. So now I’ll pick three: - Dany isn’t the daughter of Aerys and Rhaella - Jojen paste - Robert Strong is Gregor Clegane’s body + the head of either Robb Stark or Robert Baratheon. There are many, many more. I’m sure the second I hit “submit” I’ll think of at least three more immediately. And then there’s the outrageously hilarious ones as well.

The Ned's Little Girl Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I endorse all mentioned so far and will add: 1. Tyrion was the target at the Purple Wedding and the poison was in the pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis-something-Rose Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Dany is not Aerys & Rhaella's daughter (she's Rhaegar's daughter with Lyanna. She's Rhaella's daughter with Rhaegar (Seven save us!). She's Ashara's daughter with I don't remember who). It really wasn't the wine that was poisoned. It was the pie. (why are we trying to complicate things) Quentyn is still alive. The person who died was the Tattered Prince. Qhorin Halfhand was really Arthur Dayne. Gerold Hightower is really Tormund. Mance is really Rhaegar. I'm sure Oswell Whent is supposed to be someone else too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Sidious Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 R + L = J. And not just because I don't like Jon. I much prefer Mance + Lyanna = Jon. Daenerys will die from childbirth. Sansa will outwit Littlefinger. So there you have it. Three fan theories that I do not buy into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be kind of ironic and an interesting twist. It’s a better ending that being stabbed to death by the man she loves after becoming a psychotic and irrational version of herself.

SFDanny Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Any theory involving time travel. I don't mind being able to see the past through the Weirwoods, or prophetic visions, but don't destroy a story with actually being able to jump into the past or future. It reminds me of Superman changing time by flying around the Earth really, really fast. Sloppy, bad writing that Martin would never do.

The Lord of the Crossing Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I don't want Bran to have the ability to manipulate the past. Let him be a passive observer. Nothing more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alyn Oakenfist Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 1. Euron is going to summon or become some lovecrafting eldrich magical bs 2. Stannis is going to burn his daughter 3. Tyrion is secretly a Targ (it actually would make some sense with Cersei and Jaime, but not with Tyrion. One of the most important and ironic is that Tyrion IS Tywin's son both literally and in terms of best inheriting him, so it would defeat that sweet sweet irony if he weren't Tywin's son) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Peres Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 1-Robb being the son of Brandon 2- Tyrion being the target of the purple wedding and the poison was in the pie 3- Anyone other than Dany or Jon is Azor Ahai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megorova Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 1. The Three-Eyed Crow is Bloodraven (which is bullshit, because the 3EC is Shiera Seastar). 2. To forge a new Lightbringer Jon will have to kill Dany as a sacrificial Nissa Nissa (there is no need for any additional sacrifices. No need to forge a new Lightbringer, because the original Lightbringer is still around. It's Dawn sword of Daynes). 3. Someone who is not the blood of the dragon will become a dragonrider. Tyrion, or Euron, or Victarion, etc. GRRM gave hints in AGOT about identity of all three dragonriders - Dany/Drogon, Rhaego/Rhaegal, Jon/Viserion. All three are dragonseeds, all three are carriers of Targaryen genes, thus only they and no one else will ride those dragons. And Tyrion is definitely not a secret Targaryen, so he won't become a dragonrider. Also, if it was possible to lead astray someone else bonded dragon, then other people would have done it in those centuries after Valyrians tamed dragons, but that never happened, thus it's not possible, dragonhorns won't help anyone to tame a dragon. You have to be a Targaryen by blood to ride a Targaryen dragon. Thus, who is going to become the other two dragonriders, besides Dany, is obvious - it's the other two people in the series, who, same as Dany, are carriers of Targaryen genes - her nephew Jon and her son Rhaego (who is alive, and was kidnapped by Dothraki. He will reappear in the plot, in Dany's first or second chapter of TWOW). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
