How The Story Ends (AA Theories)

Wow that was an amazing read. I completely agree with it! i see dany and bran more as vessels of the two types of magic rather than heroes fulfilling a prophecy.

So jon will be the one to balance everything out? i mean this idea has been around for a while i think. And i think its basically right. I see jon being resurrected and first trying to defeat the boltons in winterfell to secure the castle. then he'll turn his attention to protecting the people of the north for the imminent threat of the white walkers. i think when Dany comes North he won't see the dragons as good things either, but he'll know he'll need them to destroy the walkers or create a balance.

I like that he talked about the weather because i always thought this was odd, and if i can recall the world book said there were once even seasons. I've thought that Asshai was the center for some terrible fire event and this happened probably around the same time the long night began/ended thousands of years ago. i don't know exactly how they are connected but i think they are.

ooohhh i really want to read that. I think in book 1 when they say it has been a long summer, this is probably because large support for R'hllor has reached a peak maybe? and then no surprise the birth of the dragons at the end of the longest summer for a long time? there's definitely no coincidence here. And i think when the dragons died the white walkers could gather strength again, which has finally lead to this long winter that is approaching.

I think the ice/fire thing applies to the whole planetos, thats why i think things in asshai could effect the lands of always winter.

Yeh Dany is all fire, she tries but is not as good as jon in negotiating imo. I have no idea about Bran though. I think he may be the key to defeating the Others. The starks might somehow be related to a pact with the Others 8000 years ago, but Bran grew up with Ned. An honourable man, and he learnt rights and wrongs i thinkg he wont forget and will come in handy

I like this theory. Jon as the instrument that restores balance between Ice (Bran) and Fire (Dany). It might be Jon might have to get them to work together to perhaps end the battle, a battle or defeat the common "enemy"...I put enemy in quotes because I also like what Basil said about the others not necessarily being evil.
I like Bran being his era's version of the last hero 7timesdamnedshewolf...I always thought, like others, Bran has an very important role to play. GRRM did not name him Brandon for kicks.
I always thought the last POV we'll read in the series is Bran's.

About the Others not being evil, I hope we learn more about them this season. What makes them tick, their motivations, etc. Some quiet time with them.

I guess 'evil' is from the perspective of the humans being turned into undead since that's the side of the story we're being told from the point of views of those experiencing it. Seems pretty evil to me even if they have a bigger reason/motivation for doing so. Sure, one could argue the humans broke whatever "deal" was made thousands of years ago but does that justify the level of mass murder we're seeing take place? I don't think so. I also don't think R'hllor/Fire God burning of innocents is anymore justified from that side of the Ice and Fire fence either! 

Much as it seems the Gods in Greek Mythology were often doing terrible/cruel things to mortals in their eternal struggle for domination over one another, I attribute a lot of the ASOIAF story to that same sort of manipulation and suffering. Does that make them "evil" or just omnipotent threats to humankind's existence? That's pretty evil when you're the humans facing the apocalypse.
