He doesn’t seem like the kind of author who’d turn his magnum opus into a political parable. But Martin is a fantasy writer steeped in years of pulp fiction and Dungeons & Dragons. Maybe some folks might be happy for humanity to get what’s coming to them. Unless, I suppose, the Night King and his army are a metaphor for climate change, and his victory is supposed to make a political statement. He has an enormous army and an Ice Dragon, so who’s to say he can’t win the game of thrones? Although I don’t see how this ending would be “bittersweet” it would just taste bitter. Or he settles down to live a quiet life happily ever after with Brienne of Tarth. Of course, this theory presumes Jaime’s a goner. Assuming Cersei gets her comeuppance, that might leave a Lannister-or a Targaryen-on the Iron Throne. This could explain why Dany’s dragons let Tyrion touch them several seasons ago.īut how would this ending be bittersweet, as Martin may have promised? Perhaps Dany and Jon both perish fighting the Night King, but Tyrion heroically survives. If true, the rumor follows, then Tyrion is Dany’s older half-brother, putting him directly in line for the Iron Throne. Aeryss II, the “Mad King” and father of Daenerys Targaryen, had many mistresses, and one of them was rumored to be the wife of Tywin Lannister (who was Aeryss’ childhood friend and the Hand of the King). But how might Tyrion win the game of thrones? This goes back to a longstanding fan theory. Since the beginning of A Song of Ice and Fire, Tyrion Lannister has always been somewhat of a good guy, and good guys often win. In case any of these theories are correct, *spoilers* may follow. With that in mind, here is some just-for-fun speculation about who the winner may be. Martin, who promised a “bittersweet” ending to the series. So, as we head into the final season, it’s fair to ask: Who will win the game of thrones?īut first, it’s important to remember the words of George R.R. “When you play the game of thrones, you live or you die.” - CerseiĬersei’s quote sums up one of the fundamental themes of HBO’s Game of Thrones.
