Game of Thrones Fans Have A Terrifying Theory About The Upcoming Big Battle
SPOILERS
Game Of Thrones is gearing up for a huge battle that will probably see a lot of our favourites die.
The next episode is called Battle of Winterfell, and at the end of the previous episode we saw long line of White Walkers on top of horses waiting to attack the castle.
However there was one big name missing. The Night King.
The last time we saw the Night King, he was riding on top of ice-dragon Viserion and melting the Wall. And fans think that he is planning to use Viserion for one particular purpose – and it has nothing to do with Winterfell.
There is a huge theory floating around Reddit right now that the Night King is going to bypass Winterfell and head straight to King’s Landing with Viserion. The battle at Winterfell is simply a distraction for the people of the North. While they are fighting, the Night King will be turning the population of King’s Landing into wights.
Here’s the theory in full, and once you read it you have to admit it makes sense:
If you play out what the battle of Winterfell would be like in your head if the NK+Viserion would be there... it would be easy for Drogon/Rhaegal to take out the zombie dragon; it's 2v1 and wight's all can be killed by fire.. including Viserion. It would not be difficult to simply fly up to Viserion and breathe fire on him, and that would be that. THE NIGHT KING IS NOT STUPID, not enough to kamikaze his most powerful asset. - If you have a superweapon that you can't use against a particular target, then you find a different target.
Most people have come to assume that the living will lose The Battle of Winterfell and fall back to Moat Cailin ... I predict they actually win the battle... only to find out soon after that there is a new army of the dead much bigger and much further south... the population of King's Landing.
What do you think? Is this a possibility?
