Plus if youre not all caught up on Game of Thrones, I warn you now there will be spoilers
in this video.
You have been warned.
Now lets get to todays list of the Top 10 Game Of Throne Fan Theories
#10 Littlefinger Faked His Death A Game of Thrones fan by the name of Neo on
YouTube has proposed a very interesting theory about how Littlefinger actually faked his
death.
The theory believes that Littlefinger sensed his impending demise and had already left
Winterfell.
His place was then taken by a faceless man.
The video does a great job of connecting him to the faceless men mostly because hes the
one character who talks about them the most throughout the series.
#9 Ice and Fire Marriage
An interesting theory has surfaced that Jon Snow and Daenerys will be forming an alliance
via marriage to take down Cersei and end the white walker invasion.
She is the Dragon Queen and he is the newly crowned King of the North so together they
would be unstoppable.
Sure theyre related, but that doesnt seem to matter in Game of Thrones.
If an incest marriage is what stops something horrible like the white walkers, theyre down.
#8 The Westworld Theory What would be a video about fan theories if
we didnt go to unrealistic side of things.
YouTuber Bat underscore Man underscore 10 underscore 11 posted a video detailing the
similarities between Game of Thrones and Westworld.
If you havent watched Westworld, its another HBO show about a theme park made up of robots
who look human to cater to the real human guests that enter the park.
There are some far reaching points that suggest Westeros sounds like Westworld so it could
be another park.
The only point that somewhat valid is the fact that both shows are on HBO.
However by that logic though so is Curb your enthusiasm and youre not going to see Larry
David walking up to a white walker saying - You know were not so different, your white,
Im white and were both just trying to walk.

#7 Underground Dragons More specifically this fan theory believes
that there are actually dragons underneath Winterfell.
There is quite a lot of evidence to support this as well one of which that comes from
Martins novels.
The theory strings from the fact that Winterfell was built over hot springs which is what they
believe heats the castle.
But could it be dragons heating the castle from beneath Winterfell.
Fans are speculating that a dragon could have gotten underneath during the start of the
dance of the dragons.
Rumor has it that before Game of Thrones began Jacaerys Velayron rode his dragon Vermax to
the north and laid dragon eggs below the castle.
Its an interesting theory and something that we would love to see play out, just imagine
a dragon busting out of the ground just in the nick of time to save everyone from zombies.
#6 Bran The Builder This theory is a big one.
In Season 6 we saw the reveal that Bran Stark can not just see into the past, but he can
manipulate it as well.
Now over 8000 years before the events in Game of Thrones a man named Bran the Builder raised
a wall in Winterfell to keep the white walkers out.
Fans even point to this passage in George RR Martins books to support this theory.
It reads - Sometimes nan would talk to him as if he were her Brandon, the baby she had
nursed all those years ago, and sometimes she confused him with his uncle Brandon, who
was killed by the Mad King before Bran was ever born.
She had lived so long, Mother had told him once, that all the Brandon Starks had become
one person in her head.
#5 King Gendry This is a great fan theory that makes a ton
of sense actually.
If you can recall in the season 7 finale Tyrion and Cersei were having a behind closed doors
discussion.
Fans believe that the Lannister siblings have chosen Gendry to become the next ruler of
the seven kingdoms.
Why you ask, well Gendry is actually the first born of Cersei.
Her first born was believed to have died as told in the second episode of the show.
However Gendry has lived in Kings Landing his entire life and considering its a city
that Cersei knows everything about its plausible that Gendry could be her secret son.
That private discussion I mentioned earlier could have been the moment that Cersei tells
Tyrion that Gendry is her son, which will lead to them setting him up for a seat on
the Iron Throne.
#4 New face, who dis?
This fan theory suggests that Arya has been dead the entire time and the Waif has been
wearing her face as far back as Season 6.
Back in season 6 Arya has a final confrontation with a faceless man and when she leads the
waif into a dark room in Braavos thats where it all goes down.
We see Arya emerge seemingly victorious, but did she?
The fan theory goes that the waif actually killed Arya and began wearing her face.
There are a few things that give this theory some weight, one of which would be her switching
from using her left hand to her right, then begin acting in a colder demeanor.
Although if you just killed someone youd be pretty cold as well.
However there are greater implications if this turns out to be true.
For one it would give the faceless men an insider in Westeros that carries some real
power.
Plus lets not put it past George RR Martin for nixing a beloved character without telling
you.
#3 Sam the Prince
According to a fan theory posted to Reddit by Mr Silence T - Samwell is actually the
prince that was promised.
Believed to be the one who will save the world from the Night King.
The theory goes that before the sack of Kings Landing, Varys smuggles out the first form
son of Rhaegar out of the city.
The first born is destined to be the prince that was promised.
In his place is a peasant boy that the Mountain ends up killing.
The first son is actually sent across the Narrow Sea where he becomes Young Griff.
According to Mr. Silence T Young Griff is the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark.
The theory is suggesting that Varys wanted their to be two potential heirs to take the
throne in case something bad happened.
So he sent away Raegar and Lyannas son and sent his son by Elia to be brought up at Horn
Hill.
This is however a book-only theory because we know that Rhaegar and Lyannas son grows
up to be Jon Snow, but Mr. Silence T believes that Jon is actually the son of Ned Stark
and Shara Dayne.
Its doubtful that Sam will be the hero of Westeroes, but the theory is creative to say
the least.
#2 Cersei The Mad Queen In season 7 Cerseis behaviour shows she is
increasingly losing perspective and control.
She declares herself the ruler of the seven kingdoms and as one fan suggests is becoming
more and more like the Mad King.
Shes gone back on her word about fighting the White Walkers which poses a real problem.
These actions show that the Mad Queen is doing what she wants, when she wants.
The only thing that would hold her back and balance her was the love she had for her children,
but with them all dead it looks like no one is there to hold her accountable.
#1 Bran The Night King While there is little evidence to support
this fan theory, many are convinced that Bran will become the Night King.
The speculation comes from the similar wardrobe that the two characters dawn in the show.
Although actor Isaac Hempstead-Wright who plays the character said in an interview with
Esquire that he doesnt think thats going to happen.
Saying - I personally think the Night King-Theory is a bit far-fetched, but I would have said
the same thing about the Hordo Theory.
And when I saw that on paper, I was like, what!
No way!
But this is Game of Thrones, and anything is possible.
Id love to be the Night King.
That would be so fun to be like, it was me all along, but I dont know, I doubt it.
- I guess we will have to wait to find out.
And that has been the Top 10 Game Of Throne Fan Theories.
