Haha, just kidding, these are all about resurrection and immortality because this is Westeros, and everything is crazy! One of the more insane theories on Reddit (and probably the one steeped in the least actual narrative evidence) surrounds one of ASOIAF's least beloved characters. Of course there are also Game of Thrones theories that take place more in the land of the living. The clincher? That the original Night's King was a Stark just like Jon, and history is about to repeat itself in the form of a White Walker resurrection. Old Nan tells Bran early on that the Night's King was the 13th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch these Redditors that accept that there was once agreement made between the White Walkers and the humans also propose that the man who would later become the Night's King "married an Other woman as a political marriage to create peace." The theorists presume that this peace was short lived and the Night's Watch eventually turned on the Night's King, murdering him - just as the Night's Watch did to Jon Snow for his paling around with outsiders years later - and turning him into the blue-eyed zombie Night's King of legend. Reddit user theDarkLordOfMordor (clearly a fantasy fan) has come up with a pretty insane offshoot of this "White Walkers who got jerked around in their diplomatic agreement" theory: Jon Snow is the next Night's King. But, the men of Westeros haven't kept to their agreement, with men living on the wrong side of the Wall, and now the White Walkers have risen again to protect their rightful claim. The White Walkers built the Wall made of ice to protect their own lands and kept to themselves. Reddit user c_forrester_thorne posits that contrary to what we've heard from Old Nan about the legend of the Last Hero - the man who somehow defeated "the Others," sending them back into the North and resulting in the Wall being built by the first Night's Watch members - the Last Hero actually came to a diplomatic agreement with the White Walkers that everyone would stay on their own sides. You don't have to look far for tons of believable angles on the Night's King, but one of the wildest White Walker theories on Reddit is - wait for it - that the White Walkers actually built the Wall to protect themselves. The White Walkers are one of the most mysterious entities in the ASOIAF world, and therefore there's plenty of room for theories on them. Reddit houses much more than just your average "OMG, what if so-and-so get married and rule the world and everything ends happily ever after" GoT theories these are highly researched, highly plausible/highly insane thoughts on the tangled webs that make up the world of Westeros. But, then there are the less common theories - the ones that start from one small spark in Martin's words and spread like wildfire in the hands of ASOIAF's most devoted fans. There are theories that even the most casual GoT fans have probably heard of, like R + L = J, which pretty much feels like a narrative guarantee at this point. So that's plenty of time for fans to scour its collective 10,000-plus pages and come up with a few ideas of their own.
REDDIT GAME OF THRONES S03E01 SERIES
Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, a book series that published its first installment nearly 20 years ago. They have everything from theories that favorite characters are going to meet up with each other to theories about magic and sorcery yet to be revealed in the lands of Westeros and theories about one secret that spawned a thousand more secrets, all of which will eventually be revealed and make everything make more sense.Īnd, of course, there's the fact that HBO's Game of Thrones is based on George R. For example, one look at the insane Game of Thrones theories on Reddit, and you'll be stunned by the fan creativity. But, sometimes the theories can get a little out there. When you're watching the third wedding that ends in homicide, you've got to be able to tell yourself that this is all leading to something. Game of Thrones is a series that lives and dies on theories.
