HBO's fantasy drama "Game of Thrones" season 7 is over. Yeah, we hate that we have to wait so long for the next and final season of this amazing TV show. The fans already keep busy speculating what will happen to Cersei, Tyrion, Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen as our journey through Westeros comes to a conclusion.
These are 10 of the theories they came up with.
1. Jaime will kill Cersei
When Tommen died, the prophecy of Maggy the frog has come true, all but the part of Cersei being killed by her "Valonqar" or "little brother". Everyone thought that will be Tyrion, but Jaime too is Cersei's little brother, being born a few minutes after her.
Jaime has seen Daenerys' dragons, he knows that in an open battle Cersei cannot win and she sacrificed the entire North to the Walkers after said she'll turn her armies against the Night King. Even though he said she's the most important person in his life, Jaime is not pleased with the direction his queen sister is taking the kingdom and may become sympathetic to Tyrion's cause, more after finding that Joffrey was killed by Olenna and not by Tyrion and even meeting him in secret. After all, Jaime is the Kingslayer, a title bestowed upon him after slaying the Mad King Aerys and this brings us to our second theory ...
2. Cersei becomes the Mad Queen
After destroying the Sept of Baelor and proclaiming herself as the Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, it seems that Cersei has gone completely mad and she's turning into a reincarnation of Aeris, the Mad King. All of her children are dead, she has enemies in all directions and even Jaime starts to push away from her. She is hurt, wants revenge and has a lot of wildfire in the basement. So we'll see what happens in Season 8.
3. Jon Snow is Azor Ahai, the Prince Who Was Promised
After we got out the Rhaegar + Lyanna = Jon theory out of the way, the next biggest one is that he actually is or not the Prince Who Was Promised or the Warrior of the Light. All signs point to yes. Melisandre’s prophecy states that Azor Ahai will have the blood of the dragons and will be reborn in smoke and salt (in the books, Jon's wounds smoke and his Watch comrades cry salty tears all over him).
In episode 2 of season 7, Melisandre suggests it could be Daenerys, the Valyrian term for "Prince" is not gender-specific and applies both to Jon and Dany.
4. Bran is actually Bran The Builder
Bran The Builder was the man who created Winterfell and raised The Wall over 8000 years prior the events currently happening in Game of Thrones. With Bran's capabilities to temper with the past (remember Hodor), Bran and Bran the builder may be the same person. Maybe he traveled into the past and raised The Wall as a protection against the Walkers. Also, we were told that his favorite stories when he was a child were the stories about Bran the Builder.
5. Tyrion made a deal with Cersei to betray Daenerys
Remember when Tyrion was traying to convince Cersei to work with Jon and Dany and noticed that she was pregnant, then the next scene cut back to them in the Dragon Pit? Tyrion might have made a deal with Cersei to ensure that her unborn child would be the king or queen to succeed Daenerys, who Tyrion believes is unable to have children. That would explain his concern while listening to Jon and Daenerys making love, because if she could have a baby, that would mess up his plans.
6. Cleganebowl
At the end of Season 4, it looked bad for either of the Clegane brothers; Sandor getting beat up by Brienne and left to die and Gregor getting poisoned by Prince Oberyn and later on being zombified by Qyburn into a mindless killing machine. In Season 7 though, they finally met after a long time and got into a little stare-down. Maybe in Season 8, Sandor finally gets to kill undead Gregor once and for all. We're going to have to wait and see if this epic clash will happen.
7. Tyrion is actually a Targaryen
It comes from the theory that Mad King Aerys Targaryen had an affair with Tywin's wife, Joanna, the mother of Tyrion, which might explain why Tywin hated him so much (the books detail the Mad King's obsession with Joanna). Also, Tywin saying "you're no son of mine" just before he died to a crossbow dart adds to this theory. Even more, Joanna died while birthing Tyrion, similarly to Lyanna giving birth to Jon and Rhaella Targaryen giving birth to Daenerys.
8. Arya will become Littlefinger
It's possible that most of the South is unaware of Littlefinger's death in the Season 7 finale, even though news travel pretty fast around Westeros. Littlefinger used to have a great deal of power in the South so Arya could wear his face like she did with Walder Frey and get close to people on her kill list even though Littlefinger isn't exactly welcomed into King's Landing. Maybe Arya will kill Cersei ?
9. Jon will betray and kill Daenerys
This will be the saddest of endings, but not impossible. Azor Ahai, the legendary hero was forced to sacrifice his wife, Nissa Nissa, by driving a sword through her chest in order to unleash its great power. This is how the Lightbringer, the legendary sword which defeated the God of Darkness was created. The legend goes on to say that the reborn Azor Ahai will have to once more pull Lightbringer from the fire to defeat the Darkness.
We already know that Jon is in love with Dany and if they marry, this will make Daenerys his "Nissa Nissa" and to forge the Lightbringer, Jon would have to sacrifice something he loves. This sacrifice could be Daenerys herself.
10. The Iron Bank will betray Cersei
Tywin knew that while the Lannisters were in debt to the Bank, the Bank had a major interest in their success. He deliberately stayed in debt so that the Iron Bank would back him up in order to reclaim their investment. By paying the Iron Bank in full, Cersei allowed Tycho Nestoris (the Bank's representative) to finally sever the ties with the Lannisters and back Daenerys, the most likely victor and future Queen. Tycho Nestoris even said that the Iron Bank will support whoever is on the Iron Throne once their debt is fully paid, but that could mean Daenerys as well.
