Whats going guys, Carmine here and with less than 72 hours before the new season begins
I wanted to take the time to look at one of the new theories that's come out recently
regarding Season 7 and that is Cersei being the Night's Queen.
Is there anything to this?
Let's take a look
but before we begin I just want to say that last year I partnered up with Amino for their
new Game of Thrones app and this year I'm doing it again
in time to get you all in on their Prediction Challenge before the premiere and who knows
you might even win a prize or two.
For those of you who don't know, the Thrones Amino App is a great platform for fans of
Game of Thrones to connect with other fans, share some theory ideas and even interact
with other Game of Thrones content creators.
I've been active on there since the app launched and its just a great place for me to get all
the latest news on the series, check out some of the cool fan art and even connect with
some of you guys.
It's available for both Android and iPhone so definitely consider checking it out and
following me on there and don't forget to send me a baba booey when you do because I'll
be on there all season sharing my own predictions and catching up on the latest theories and
ideas.
Links below in the description.
One of the new and strangest theories to come out of season 7 is that Cersei will be the
Queen of the Night King.
Because, I'm assuming every King needs a Queen right?
But why Cersei and how do people peddle this around?
well it really came from the season 7 teaser where the Jon, Dany and Cersei are all walking
towards their thrones or in Jon's case his chair.
At the end of it Cersei lets out a cold breath of air but does that automatically makes her
the Night's Queen?
Well there's a bit more to it than that I think but lets go into it.
Originally, the Night King was created by the Children of the Forest as a countermeasure
against the First Men.
This nuclear option ending up threatening both groups and eventually they banded together
to fight it off.
The complete details of this legendary war aren't fully know and may never be know because,
in the show, supposedly all the Children are dead.
Unless Bran can figure it out for us with his flashback super powers.
But the Night King was suppose to have been defeated or at least sealed away.
Being sealed away, in the fantasy genre, is the next best thing to defeating a powerful
magical being who is too over powered for our heroes.
But the reason that civilization is still a thing in Game of Thrones is because, we're
assuming, they were beaten back unless their boss was removed from the equation as I stated
before or somehow they retreated for thousands of years, once again its not clear.
Sometime after this war, the 13th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch encounters a beautiful
woman whose skin is pale and eyes are icy blue and she somehow manipulates him into
making human sacrifices to the White Walkers and turning the Night's Watch into his own
personal army.
Eventually he is dubbed the Night's King with her as his Night's Queen.
Now this raises a lot of questions, the first being, who is she?
was she really a White Walker female or just a Wight?
The 13th Lord Commander found her somewhere in the Haunted Forest, the same place we see
within the first 5 minutes of the first episode in season 1.
Was she sent there to corrupt the Lord Commander?
or is she the very first white walker who somehow corrupted the original Night King.
Some people argue that the Night King we currently see in the show leading the army is only a
front man and that there is a Queen controlling the whole operation.
So, by tradition, does the Night King need a Queen?
was this woman in the original war with the children and the first men?
once again it's not very clear.
Also in case you're confused, George Martin has made a clear distinction between the Night
King, the main white walker guy and the Night's King which is the 13th Lord Commander.
George says that the Lord Commander guy is a legendary figure and probably didn't survive
to the present date"
However when George does discuss certain things like this he usually only refers to the books
because he does not retain certain story line decisions in the show.
So keep that in mind whenever he talks about any character in the series.
But eventually, with the combined forces of the Wildlings and House Stark, the Night's
Watch was freed, the Night's King was defeated and the Starks ended up killing the Night's
Queen.
So we have two characters that are meant to be the King's of Night or what ever and a
mysterious woman who is dead.
The theory here is that, the original Night King must've had a Queen but what ever happened
to him probably sent her off on her own quest to find someone else who could be the King
and eventually she did.
When they both died, the original Night King was revived, I guess, and now he is looking
for a new Queen.
Preferably one who holds that title, such Cersei.
But then you have Dany or if the Night King wants to be a real troll he could he take
Sansa, since she is a Stark and the rightful Queen to the North.
With Bran out of the way
This whole theory all stems from Cersei having a cold breath of air and the fact that she
will the be main antagonist in season 7 and will be teaming up with other antagonists
and rumors that she will somehow help the white walkers in season 7 but in all honesty?
everybody has helped them in some way or another.
The whole tragedy of the story is that we can't band together to face a bigger threat
and instead want to play our Game of Thrones while time runs out for us all and that it
doesn't matter.
But Cersei being the Night's Queen is interesting but it doesn't hold much weight, considering
the Walkers don't seem to be too interested in keeping people alive.
If they were made for the singular purpose of destroying man, they're probably still
trying to fulfill this function, at least in the show.
Also if they were after a Queen, why not a younger one who has Dragons?
Unless they see her as a legendary chosen one whose purpose is to destroy them
I will say that it's interesting, to say the least but it doesn't hold much weight in many
areas but it is fun to think about.
Personally I think Cersei letting out that cold of breath of air was just to tell the
audience that winter is here, even down in King's Landing where her character has stayed
for a majority of the series.
But as always, let me know what you guys think, do you believe that Cersei will be the Night's
Queen or is it all being exaggerated for no reason.
