Melonica Stormborn Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I'm still of the opinion that Theon has severely paid for what he has done in ACoK, so I am trying to give him a break. For a heartbeat he wanted to listen to Maester Luwin and leave it all behind, maybe now he can actually do it and take the black sometime in the future if the Night's Watch still exists. I do not know, however, what an alive Jon would do to him, once he's there. He might get the Janos Slynt treatment.I think some nourishment and sense of security could bring back Theon (+practice), but those are things that are difficult to get at the moment. :crying: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Huxley Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Can you ever really make up for killing two young boys and betraying the people who brought you up all your life? Not in the real world, no matter how many times you get flayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Boltons flaying knife Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Your trolling skills are pretty weak bra.Greyjoy genetics? Knight taught, An insight into the stark mind. Theon had amazing potential before Ramsey taught him his name.I dont think ANYONE eho has the mond to read and absorve the entire aSoIaF series has the potential to be a true fs. Come on breh.

It's hard to make up for what he did, that is true, but among the characters who did anything remotely bad or evil, he has paid the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buried Treasure Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I think Theon isn't as messed up as you think. In the first Reek chapter maybe but throughout the book he gerts better, he can ride a horse, kill a guy with a sword, use a dagger, and murder several people if you believe the Theon Durdin theories.And while I do think it unlikely Theon may just be the PTWP. Like an earlier poster said the fact that he was a "Prince" was brought up quite a bit, and when he realized his true name in Dance the salt from his and Jeyne's tears and the smoke from the hot pools fit in with the prophecy. And if Theon doesn't shoot a dragonglass arrow at atleast one Other i'll be dissapointed.He can sit a stot, and he can't do any of those physical acts of killing if you dont believe the Theon Durdin theories. Which I don't believe we are directly told he was too weak to be the killer. That is to say believing that theory invoves ignoring the facts then saying the facts must be wrong because they conflict with the theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet-N-SourRobin Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Someone have a link to the Theon Durdin theory?Search for "Who Is The Hooded Man" speculation threads and you'll encounter it soon enough. As the name suggests, it will spoil Fight Club for you, if you never got around to seeing/reading it but have been meaning to. So if that applies to you, do that first. Otherwise, search away!

The fact that they call Theon on suspicion of him being the killer in the first place supports my theory. And it still doesn't change the fact that Theon gets progressively stronger as the story goes by. If Arya, a little girl, can kill multiple people then I think Theon can do some damage too.

The Red Hand Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 He's missing a couple fingers...usually important in archeryBut not vital. Anatomically speaking it would still be possible for Theon to use a bow with his remaining fingers, but he might not not be strong enough to pull back the arrow or have any accuracy.

Ponys123 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 In theory, Theon should still be able to fire a crossbow, which would mitigate the problems posed by his missing fingers and his diminished ability to eat solid food and keep his strength up. The crank mechanism supplies most of the power, and as far as we know Theon's eyes/aim are still as goodAnyone can fire a crossbow so long as they have the ability grab the cranequin, and attach/detach the hooks to the string. As for accuracy, crossbows are also far easier to aim and shoot. And the cranking mechanism doesn't supply any of the power, it just applies it in a way that even a toddler can apply the massive draw-weights required.Either way, considering his manhood has been chopped off, he's not worth much anymore, and he can't do anything important, because there is no conceivable way that westerosi society wouldn't look down on him.
