My favorite show theory is that Drogon melted the Iron Throne because it saw a sharp knife in Daenerys’ body and assumed it was the chair made of sharp blades that killed her
Mind blown
Drogon’s a smart lizard, it actually understands the metaphorical reasoning for why Dany’s desire for the Irone Throne was the *real* killer in the end.
This is so dumb that I actually think it's true. It sounds like something D&D would come up with.
He was gonna burn Jon to a crisp, but i guess *he kind of forgot*
This was literally the explanation D&D gave, Drogon was literally just angry and took his anger out on the throne, there’s no symbolism or any sort of dragon intelligence, literally just “hrmmmm lizard MAD”
About 50%-90% of GoT theories are: Nobody is dead. Everyone is someone else in disguise.
The other half is various Jon snow parentages
@@romulusnuma116 nah the other half is "X Targaryen", though that kind of falls in the same category. I wish people would try to turn it around for once, like: Daenerys Baratheon or Viserys Dayne or something.
@@Drigallski theres no fun in being a baratheon tho. People have a boner when they think of someone being part of the house that is filled with magic and incest and purple hair and eyes
@@niranjanrajesh1058 i mean there's still more boring houses than baratheon. House Tarly is basically a cheap version of the Baratheons. Itd make an actually fun twist Daenerys suddenly riding the words "Ours is the fury" and then set King's Landing on fire.
@@Drigallski Jon Targaryen but he’s actually the son of Bloodraven and Catelyn
The fact that Glimbus immediately discarded the 'Glidus = Benioff' theory makes me think that it's true and he doesn't want the truth to be revealed.
Wargs often seem to say the name of their new form when they die, in order to possess them. For example, Jon says "Ghost", Robb says "Grey Wind".
Therefore, we can surmise that another warg is Joffrey, with his dying breath, "The Pie".
Joffrey warged into a pie
Joffrey warged into Hot Pie confirmed?
@@almondsai7214Littlefinger warged into Sansa confirmed! It was his plan all along! What an asshole!
O.o! Pigeon Joffery
@@tokevarvaspolvi8999 oh god that is the DARKEST crack fic premise i've heard yet, from this fandom (sweetest crack theory is Lord Pigeon Stark).
@@BattyButtercup you know, i just came up with it on the fly, but now that i think of it, the scary thing is it would actually make sense for his arc and somewhat redeem the dumb shit he pulls in later seasons, if it only... you know... made sense :DDD
I think I speak for everyone when I say: Thank you.
Glidus seems like such a nice asshole
lmao thank you
You absolutely do, we love this man.
Yes
Aye
There's no way Cersei could pretend to have had a baby. She's the QUEEN. The second she produced a living male heir, the ravens would be sent to every corner of the seven kingdoms. It wouldn't matter if the baby died a day, a week, or a month later. People would know. We can write Cat not knowing as her having forgotten and being too upset over Bran to give it much thought.
My problem with the Tyrion=Oppo theory is that we already know Tyrion has been drinking himself to death for the entire show. It would make complete sense that over time, the wine killed all his braincells, so he thought it would be a good idea to hide from the dead in a crypt. Really, it explains every character's behavior. All the characters have been guzzling wine every day before 9 am, so of course by Season 8 everyone is an idiot. The show is one big cautionary tale about alcoholism.
If D&D gave us that as an explanation as to why everyone is a fucking irrational idiot I would have actually clapped IRL.
@@sirocco2810 I still say that if they were just going to _aggressively_ drop the ball with wrapping up the story, they should have just had John Cleese show up and arrest everyone. Think about it! It would have been the laziest possible ending, but NOBODY would have even been mad!
I actually like to think the reverse. Tyrion drinks far less than he used to once he gets to Mereen and enters Dany's service - and that's when he turns stupid. So what if he's only smart when he's properly drunk?
@@tarvoc746 I mean he DOES say he "drinks and he knows things" so maybe the two are a package deal. But also braincells don't regenerate, so maybe the damage was already done.
@@heathercalun4919 Actually, brain cells do regenerate. I left a comment with a link to an article in Scientific American yesterday, but apparently, the algorithm doesn't like external links. Seems like my comment got deleted.
I think they just assumed Gendry was Lord of Storm's End because when the existing Lord leaves, castles are just completely empty and no relatives or rival lords look to take over the region.
ah yes, just like Dragonstone
"The real Gendry is still rowing."
xDDD
jaqen going "ah yes shes going through the tyler durden phase, a crucial part of a young ladys development" is so funny to me
So im assuming my theory about Varys being a mermaid who tried to kill Davos is in the next video?
Nah, its been replaced by the ser pounce is azor ahai theory.
2:49 don't be so hard on yourself
@@js78197 awww. I missed that. Thanks for the heads up!
But it was kinda stupid. I just wanted to put something up that no one else thought of.
@@MariaC497 Yeah i get that. All we can do during the wait for winds!
@@MariaC497 the stupid theories are the best ones. Time traveling fetus, untommen is the Valonqar, the commet is a Valkyran spaceship, etc.
Arya's fight with the Waif was definitely training for "The Long Night". In each episode she had to be able to operate in poorly-lit environments.
With everyone poisoning Joffrey, I'm imagining that scene in Family Guy where everyone in the entire town lines up to beat up Stewie with various weapons
I was thinking The Simpsons when everyone gives fertility drugs to Manjula
Murder on the orient express
My favorite category of ASOIAF theories
“Olenna poisoned Joffrey”
“Littlefinger poisoned Joffrey”
“Sansa helped poison Joffrey”
“Tyrion really did poison Joffrey”
“Cersei poisoned Joffrey on accident because she was trying to kill Margery”
“Cersei poisoned Joffrey on purpose because she realized she couldn’t control him like she could Tommen”
“Tywin knew about the poisoning and let it happen because Tommen was a more easily manupulated child”
“Everyone poisoned Joffrey because they all knew he was a piece of shit”
Haha I'm totally on board for Brothel-Bard! I like Pod, but I didn't really like how they changed his character by having him just be a total ladies' man. Pod is diligent and awkward - not a lady killer. Him going to a brothel and singing for them makes way more sense character-wise!
Sigma male brothel bard vs beta male pod rod god.
theory discussion starts at 9:00 if you want to skip all the housekeeping
Hey team, this VOD will remain up on this channel until I am done with these streams and make an edited version of them. At that point the full VODs will be re-uploaded to my second channel. Thanks for watching!
Hi
THANKS IN THE NAME OF KARL TANNER, THE FOOKIN' LEGEND OF GIN ALLEY
Good idea, thanks. I like unedited VODs, sometimes I need 4 hour videos lmao
what do you mean "howland reed never showed up" he was one of the main characters in king's landing in seasons 5 through 6, dying in the explosion of the sept of baelor
Alt shift x moment
don’t be daft, everyone knows Howland Reed was actually Rhaegal in disguise, hence Euron killing him as revenge for all the ironborn who died in the Neck
rewatching this video actually made me think of a possible motivation for Petyr staying at the same spot of the evidence-machine Bran Stark. If they had elaborated on this in the show, you could give the motive that Petyr was about to lose yet again to a "Brandon Stark" like in his youth, but this time the Brandon Stark he's up against can't even hold a sword, putting it truly to the battle of "wits". So you could lead to Littlefinger's pride trying to not lose to a Stark on that level, severely underestimating Bran's Omniscience (pls delet chaos is ladder quote thank). It'd also bring the Brandon Stark vs Littlefinger conflict full cycle. You couldve even (if Sansa's character wasn't ruined of course) made Sansa save him like Catelyn did in his youth.
The first thing that actually got me into Game of Thrones was watching a video on how Littlefinger faked his death. The theory is always going to have a place in my heart for that XD.
32:11 Petyr litteraly says to Sansa when he comes back to King's Landing that he met Arya
oh he sure does. i remember reading an interview with aiden gillen about how he played it; that must've been written between seasons 2 and 3. guess my brain just jumped to the interview without thinking about what happened in the show. i'll fix this when i edit these streams into a big video.
Theory: ned poisoned Joffery
So after ned warged into the pigeon, he laid low in kings landing. In s2 stole poison from pycelle following his arrest. He then inserted himself into the wedding pie so that when all the birds flew up (and everyone was looking up at the birds) he could drop the poison into Joff's cup
Bonus theory: littlefinger was in on it
So littlefinger and ned pre arranged the "betrayel" so that ned could warg into the pigeon. Littlefinger did not betray ned but played into an elaborate ruse to get Sansa out of the city.
This is 100 percent canon as confirmed by s8 e7
Ah yes, the secret good ending to the show where we learn that the dragons and white walkers never mattered. The whole thing was about Ned's master plan to kill Joffrey, protect his two daughters, and put his son on the throne. I can't believe HBO didn't air the episode.
I love the Brothel Bard soo much! Exponentially better than the "Podrick has a magic cock" story we were treated to
Watch Game of Bones and it'll prove your theory wrong.
Only focusing on one theory here but Missandei in the books is such a great representation of what being a traumatised child who internalizes that trauma looks like. Especially when you're a child in a carer position, or one whose expected to take on adult tasks, on the outside you'll look capable and good mannered and adults will say you're 'so mature' and well behaved but its a facade built in order to survive. I want to see her evolve and process what happened to her, not turn out to be evil. I have a personal distaste for fan theories that try to negate human complexities, like Missandei not being a real child or Tyrion actually not being Tywins son or Gendry being Cerseis son (negating the idea that her miscarriage did happen). Like you can just take things at face value sometimes.
It's quite sad that probably over half of these theories are just people desperately trying to figure out ways to make the shit ending somewhat work.
Petyr recognised Arya - I think this is certainly true because there is a scene in S3 where Baelish talks to Sansa on the docks and says "I saw your mother not too long ago... and your sister". I think it's too much of a coincidence for Petyr to be trying to lie to Sansa about something that is actually true but he didn't realise it, especially because there isn't really anything to gain from that lie to Sansa.
In the scene where Petyr and Sansa are in the crypts of Winterfell and she says something about Rhaegar kidnapping and raping Lyanna, Petyr doesn't say anything and just kind of smiles before they talk about something else. Hence the theory about him knowing about R+L=J, I think
Okay, I'm 100% with you on brothel-bard. It makes perfect sense and is so wholesome.
I don't know why there is "No way" for "Wight Hodor". Sure they didn't show it in show, because they didn't want to pay the actor and whatever, but pretty much everything that died north of the wall was turned into Wights, I think they definitely turned Hodor into one as well, especially when WW were kinda present to his death, unless undead chopped him so much they couldn't reanimate him after.
He says at the start of the video (and in the title) that this is a Game of Thrones theory video not an ASOIAF theory video. So since Hodor didnt show up as a wight that means its not going to happen.
@@Murdolph It's not against show rules either, they showed dead becoming wights.
Didn't see it ? Didn't happen.
Technically then they also wighted Summer (who didn't die, because Ghost didn't, so head cannon is Summer and Jon and Ghost will reunite north of the Wall and live happily ever after. Honestly I'd be happy with the show if they did this. Then Summer's fine, so it's all fine. A hefty price to be sure, but one I've already paid, so...)
IMO the best explanation for Pod the Rod is that Littlefinger was trying to get the whores to fish secrets from Pod since he's Tyrion's squire, but he never said shit because bros before hoes.
In all likelihood it was just the writers yet again coming up with a funny, never realizing that the scene had much further implications than actually is there.
I acutely think that Ian Mcelhinney pushing back at Barristan selmy death since David and Dan mentioned in a completely different interview that someone really pushed back at their death and I don't remember anyone from season 5 at least publicly upset at there death
He had done several interviews where he said that he really disagreed with the death, since he'd read all the books
I met him at a con and had a quick chat and he was pissed about it. He had read the books and was excited about what was coming up for Barristan. It seems like any of the actors who read the books, the character they played had a untimely/bad ending
@@darkliz I do wonder why he made that comment of finishing the last two books early though (also did he really seem angry? If so than I feel sorry for him)
Barristan got the best swordfight in Dance and became a much more interesting character when we got inside his head. That's compared to the man who never goes out without his armor getting killed by random jobbers because he didn't feel like wearing his armor like he normally would. Yeah, I think he's got a good reason to think that's a stupid way for his character to die.
I think the Drogo and Rhaego vision is the reason that HotU theory exist. It shows her returning to Drogo and Rhaego, who are dead, so it's a pretty straight forward interpretation that it means she dies.
It's also likely Dany is planned to die in the books aswell and GrrM probably told them about that when doing the visions.
When he said Drogon flew to Volantis, I thought of Drogo and was super confused
but now its head canon
32:10 it did happen because he tells Sansa he saw Arya recently in one of the first episodes of season 3.
Edit: 33 minutes into the first episode of Season 3 named Valar Dohaeris, Littlefinger walks up to Sansa and first tells her he recently saw her mother at Renly's camp then he tells her he saw Arya.
The new prince of Dorne was probably some random bloke from Martels' extended family. A large house like that would likely have cadet branches.
Doran's mother was a Jordayne, but the Yronwoods are the second most powerful house. Still, new Prince of Dorne is Trebor Jordayne as far as I'm concerned
Ned killed Howland: cool idea to fill the absence of Howland in the story, but definitely false - Jojen talks to Bran about conversations he had with his father, including discussing Ned's death. Now you could get really tinfoil about how Howland is dead and is in the weirwood network to allow Jojen to communicate with him that way, but it's not realistic really.
Best theory is that the three eyes raven stole brans body so he could be king
Thats actually brillant
I just love the fact that we’re supposed to be really upset at Dany doing something that MANY other conquerors have done in the series who are literally still idolized while also being expected to be okay with the fact that Arya mass ended an entire family and COOKED THEM IN A PIE to feed them all to their father. Huh??
To be fair, the entire family that Arya cooked into a pie deserved it.
Can you name one celebrated Westerosi Conqueror who did something similar to killing half a million innocent people in one go? I can’t think of any. Maegor was hated for doing far less.
@@roronoalaw7772 Innocent people? They literally have whole section of the city dedicated to turning murder victims into stew. That city needed a fire.
@@berserkasaurusrex4233 Ok and the hundreds of thousands of other people are all evil too I’m guessing 🤣
@@roronoalaw7772 Yeah, probably. Have you read any of these books? They're not exactly full of good people, half the time they're raping and pillaging their neighbors, the other half they're drunkenly raping and then eating their neighbors.
Hell, the two best characters in the whole series are an incestuous attempted child-murderer and a fratricidal alcoholic midget who wants to rape and murder his own sister. Westeros is not a fun place, and King's Landing is the cesspool of the whole continent.
Fucken hell, Brothel - Bard thats a plausible theory I had never heard. He truly aced the Jennys song
This dude has the craziest Baltimore accent I have ever heard.
He's Australian

Good work.

Y’all are keeping me above above during a really stressful work time. Thank you for these amazing discussions 🎉
Hope you’re doing well I be heard so many people find some joy in tough times because of these crazy kids and I’m happy to have found it myself (only known about relatively shorts while like (besides show starting these guys doing podcasts like 2-3 years tops.. good luck!
The lord has blessed us again
I'm surprised nobody went with the obvious Bran wargs into Arya to kill the Nightking theory. At least, this is the way I understood it when I first saw that dreaded episode. And being Bran, that was a pretty rational choice (proximity, experience in killing people, discretion - sort of, right weapon, and already some sort of identity crisis weakening her "psychic" defenses...). Well, D&D botched the follow-up - they never really understood Arya's arc.
The sheer amount of faceless men theories are the projection of everyone's love for the oblivion dark brotherhood questline
Really enjoyed this livestream! Went a lot more meta than I thought it would but I'm totally into it. Getting a chance to field my little pet theory (Margaery had a plan) was also really cool and motivates me to actually make my own theory video finally haha, keep up the good work!
You know what would have been great? That when the NK touched Bran they exchanged bodies, so the "NK" is Bran trying to retake his body and "Bran" is the NK manipulating everyone.
This was great thoroughly enjoyed you have perfect balance of humor, energy, intelligence and from reading some of the comments, I’m really happy that people are finding so much joy and catching some fun and a little breathing room during hard times 😊
You really help a lot of people🎉Thank you for putting the time in to make it feel like a very live fun, active community it’s definitely helped me feel part of something I would never have known about and I’m so glad it’s fun to talk about again because of the good podcasts and collaborations have a good peers great audience.❤
Pidgeon Ned poisoned Joffery
Thank you man you can't believe how much I love this 🥰
Pigeon Ned Stark actually made me laugh cry
20 mins Into this vid my dog gave birth to 4 healthy puppies
congrats man
@@Glidus cheers man !!!
Your one of the few people I can watch a theory video from and have great time
The "Prince of Dorne" really isn't all that important. Like in the real world, when a line dies out they find an uncle/cousin/etc. who's next in line and give them the job
Watching this entire graph play out, I realized something amazing: The percentage of theories that are highly plausible, but unpleasant (the bottom-right quadrant) is close to zero, compared to the ones that are unpleasant, but highly unlikely (bottom-left). That obviously leads to one concrete (as far as I'm concerned) conclusion: That D&D wrote every season after the books ran out with the sole purpose of trying to appease every fan possible, but fucked up (and realized it by the end of season 7), and took their time for season 8, hoping that the audience would be comprised of newbies entirely by then, or just wouldn't give a fuck anymore. Or maybe, they hoped that The Winds Of Winter would be released before season 8 started. Obviously, none of those things happened, and Game Of Thrones became the most embarrassing failure of the 2010s (or at least ended that way).
Intereseting observation. I wonder if we'll see the bottom-left fill up more when talking about book theories
@@Glidus I think you've covered every theory imaginable !
I expect the lack of "unpleasant but plausible" theories would jump up if there was more shipping going on. Tyrion being in love with Dany was a theory ship that got confirmed and was met with 0% approval.
@@MajoradeMayhem That's what happens when you write a show interactively with what the audience wants. Love it or hate it, a show mustn't cater to its demographics, but tell a story
150 minutes of Glimbus. Yay, I want to die slightly less I guess
Big fucking oof buddy
Wish I could've watched all of it live 😪
Either way I'm happy to be watching it now 😌
Wish I caught this live but excited to watch it now !
I just binged through your shit after the last update, so stoked to wake up to a new video.
I suppose any ( and Indeed every) character character in the show could be Jaqen.
the pigeon in the wedding pie poisoned joff and that pigeon was ned
Speaking of theories i had when watching game of thrones:
"Bran isnt the night king, but he WILL be"
Its about the night king and his army of the dead, it reminds me of how arthas in wrath of the lich king was able to control the scourge and once arthas was killed someone had to take his place because the scourge are mindless zombies just like the walkers in TWD, and they woudlve just went around the world attacking and destroying everything and infecting everyone
I thought thats what they were gonna do with bran and the night king they also hinted at something like that happening with the connection that bran has to the night king (night king was able to see bran In the vision) I fully thought that bran was gonna have to take his place as the leader of the white walkers to ensure that the white walkers will never come back
Are we doing a book theory one eventually ? This is also equally POG though.
It’s fun. That’s why. Thanks for the giggles and new takes on the materials. 🙂
Hi I'll be watching this before work tomorrow, just wanted to say thanks for your hard work n shit
I could watch this for 12 hours, looking forward to Part 2 :)
When it comes to Drogon and the throne I'm sure he literally just thought Dany accidentally stabbed herself on the throne
Thank you for filling the empty void in my life 🙏
27:35 I love the Tyrion = Oppo theory
about the house of the undying thing : when daenerys sees a vision of the iron throne, it's in ruin and under snow/cinders and it's reminiscent of the way the set looked in season 8 when Jon killed her so i guess that was nice of them to reuse that idea
I remember on a live stream asking if you actually thought Rhaegar was the Night King (because I thought you were joking but wanted to be positive). I was very happy to see things come full circle with the first theory.
I like the graph as opposed to tier lists. They can get so repetitive. Great job! Can’t wait to see the ASOIF stream! Congrats on 50k+ subs - you deserve way more!
With as absurd as Drogon understanding the throne is, it's impossible to say that it's not simply just what happened. How or why is obviously anyone's guess, but there is no other possible explanation for his motives to burn the throne instead of Jon. It's completely asinine but it honestly seems like that's just what it was.
Hey man, super dig the long form content. 👍
I always just assumed that hodor was ripped apart in getting through the door
they aged Pod just for the brothel speculation.
The Waif=Arya is actually a pretty rad theory. The meaning of Wave being a lucid representation of Arya´s inner struggle with letting go of that what makes her human and what makes her Arya, like a hallucination of sort. Would explain why she was able to run across she was able to run across the whole town with several stab wounds, and would explain why her assassin skillset is such bare bone for the rest of show, because she hallucinated Wave, and because she literally ended her training right at the start. She confronts Jaqen about being assaulted, without knowing it was just a very vivid hallucination, and he let her go, because he realises she is too hot headed and clingy to her past self to become a true faceless men
Robert never seemed to dislike Jaime all that much. He pardoned him after the war because "ah well he was only killing dragonspawn so who cares", and by the time of the series he only dislikes Jaime because hes a Lannister and hes sick of Lannisters (mostly due to the bad relationship with his wife). and obviously finding out that Jaime was 100% justified, well, that just means killign dragonspawn was even more ok.
Glidus, Rhaegar being deadly injured is no obstacle. Do you know who else was deadly injured (or at least about to die)? Jaime. After he sunk at the bottom of that river. And as we all know, Melisandre saved him. Do we know what Melisandre was doing during the Rebellion? No. And we know she was alive since she turned out to be very old. So Melisandre saved Rhaegar, everything makes sense (surely).
I'm pretty sure mermaid Varys saved Jaime and Bronn.
@@mishasubin Mmmh, the plot is more complex than I thought...
Hearing you talk about D&D turning characters into mouth pieces and I don’t really know why I thought of this but I thought of all the times in those later seasons we got “Jon is tiny lol” scenes. I never understood there hatred towards kit
The Greyjoys and Martells nodding on as the North gains independence didnt sit well with most fans. I like to think Daario held onto power in Meeren and is helping Martells rebel. Its dumb but it makes me laugh.
“How is random woman a test for blue Satan”
I think shae was one of the sand snakes and the reason Tywin was so annoyed about her in particular was because bronn stole her from Tywin before the battle. After all he did then sleep with her once Tyrion was out of the way so he doesn’t seem to have an aversion to using her for sex in kings landing. Possibly he knew she was connected to dorne for future mediations in the kingdom he thought his family would now rule over.
The worst part of fan theories about show canon after like season 6 is that...like they have a LOT of faith in the writers that they even made a story? Like we're all definitely digging so deep into what was contrived shite with little reason behind it and that's the sad part. And the fact that they butchered the legend of the Fat Man Books :'(
Thanks Lord Glimbus
1:12:33 what a yarn, lol lmao.
I knew some people where desperate to make it all make some kind of sense, but to go this pathetically far is just sad. But highly entertaining.
Great bruv
1:42:00 Petyr hints at Sansa when they are in the crypts of Winterfell together in season 5 he knows the truth about Lyanna and Rhaegar, when she bring up Lyanna was kidnapped and raped by him. So from there one could think that he indeed knew about Jon's true parentage, but I am sure he doesn't.
My main issue with that theory is that if he did know Jon’s true parentage, he did nothing with…the most important piece of information on the continent and he’s been one to use info to further his position all the time.
If Bran was responsible for “Burn them all!”, the Mad King would have been named Burmal or something like that.
Wait, this isn't Alt Shwift X....
Are you suuuure?
Not having seen the show that far I would have assumed Gendry would be the lord of Storms End in the show.
A 2hr video... damn Gladus u treat us too good, bettwr than my baby daddy lmfaoooo. Thanks for the hard work
My new theory: Glidus is Tim Minchin's alter-ego
now why on earth would tim minchin be wasting his time on this shit
@@Glidus you sound so similar. You must be from Perth too right? Must be the accent 😄
Epic
The problem with S8E7 theorizing is that there is no possible single episode you could write, no matter how good it is, which can retroactively make the preceding 30-something hours of television you had to watch to get there not shit. A turd with a cherry on top is still a turd; even if you find the most succulent cherry in the world to put on there, I still don't wanna eat it.
S8E7 begins with Tommen waking up and revealing that everything that happened in the previous seasons was just his dreams. In fact, he's still at Winterfell and it's S1E1 and we're just redoing the entire show.
The second they got offered Star Wars, David Benioff and D.B Weiss lost interest in Game of Thrones and gave zero fucks about finishing it. They wanted to move on.
Does anyone have a source for the claim that Benioff and Weiss primaryly wanted to do game of thrones so they could adapt the red weeding?
I can't point to a certain video, But i seem to recall hearing it. In an interview, you might want start checking the videos that exist on youtube.
It definitely is something that seems to be more of a legend, but feels true to a lot of people, hence it getting repeated
I heard that too but I can't remember where...
@@DwRockett No it was from an interview (don't ask me to find it) but it wasn't why they wanted to make the show. They were talking about how it was to first meet GRRM while trying to pitch him the show and fanboying about the things they wanted to make and how this or that happened in the books. Also no-one in their position would say "I wanted to make an epic TV show. The most memorable scene everyone will remember and talk about will be those two character talking about their past in a jacuzzi".
That's a myth. Actually it was all because they wanted to do a wight polar bear.
How could Rhaegar have a clue Lyanna might be a warg when there's no evidence any of the Starks know about being wargs? On the show, only Bran canonically has the ability
I think the idea here is that as the Knight of the Laughing Tree (not a thing in the show, lol) Lyanna demonstrated exceptional riding ability that supposedly Rhaegar chalked up to skinchanging. Pretty unsubstantiated and silly.
There's also the historical precedent of Starks being skinchangers but again that's never made a point of in the show and even in the books seems to be an idea lost to time.
Cool theory that I just made up about the new Martel price. He could be some distant cousin that was maybe exiled and send across the narrow sea
This is like a copioum sesion to keep dealing with the trauma of seing your series fall down
Love ya glidy!
