GAME OF THRONES- HOW WILL IT END?

GAME OF THRONE‘s Season 8 premiered this week with huge ratings and mixed reactions.

For my part I was very pleased, because I know (and pardon my English), that shit’s about to hit the fan.

Just by the looks of it, Cersei wants her both siblings killed. Moreover, that is light compared to what is coming.

The second part of our GOT Special is no longer a Podcast; it will be this piece, talking about the many theories that stills surround the ending.

We have already talked our Three Dragon Heads one; you can read it here in English or watch it here in Español:

In any case, there is plenty of theories, one regarding predictions of deaths and other ones centered in major plot twists.

Let us begin.

The One with Arya Killing Cersei:

Arya serves the Many Faced God, which is why for her is easy killing people by pretending to be someone else. If she wants to kill Cersei, she will have to be someone else. There is two versions of whom Arya will become for this task:

One is Cersei’s maiden Bernadette; she kind of fades into the background and was in seasons 2,3,4,6 and 7, in the last one she was the one who interrupted Jaime and Cersei on her chambers. It had little but major camera presence on this scene what leads to suspect that that might be a hint of one of the faces that Arya might wear.

The other and darker one is Jaime Lannister. It would be poetic but awful and I really hope they do not go there. In spite Jamie pushing Bran from the tower might lead to Arya wanting to kill him, he redeemed himself on the show in many ways and if Arya kills him for this, it’ll officially make her the villain and it’ll ruin her for us.

But still is a good chance, it’s the one that would really harmed Cersei, being mad but in love with him, excited that he’s back, mixed feelings and then “he” strikes and then she finds out that Jaime was dead all along.

This would fulfill in a way the prophecy that a sibling kills her. However, we know Jaime is not capable of doing so… it will be Arya with Jaime’s face.

Stating all that, even though we know Cersei deserves what is coming for her, she is pregnant and I do not know if that could change things in the end. We will have to wait and see.

The One with Bran being the Night King:

People on Reddit are obsessed with Bran being the Night King and it does not make any sense. In addition, Isaac, the actor who plays Bran, confirmed that he is not the Night King.

Leaving that behind, we do not have a background story for the Night King since he was created for the show and it doesn’t have anything to do with his version on the books. The only thing we know from the show’s Night King is that he was created by the children of the forest to protect them from the first men, and then they turned on them for unknown reasons, which led the children of the forest to join forces with the first men and push them to the other side of the wall.

• 

We do not really know what their purpose to invade, what motivates them is. We only know that the Night King stares at Jon Snow, maybe it is a tiny reference of rivalry with the Starks (as in the books) or maybe something to do with Azor Ahai.

The One with Daenerys dying fighting the White Walkers:

When Dany was in the House of the Undying, she was presented with a premonition. She had to choose between the snowing Iron Throne or a door that led her beyond the Wall and into a tent where she found her dead husband Khal Drogo and their unborn child.

The Spider said, while staring Jon and Dani “nothing lasts”. This premonition could be interpreted that she backed off from the Throne and went to fight in the North with the Night King, where she is doomed to die and reunites with her death family.

It is an awful but realistic ending for her. Moreover, it is not only my idea; she is losing strength on the story while Jon gains momentum.

The One with Arya Fighting and Dying by the Night King’s hand:

I really, truly hate this theory. I think Arya and Tyrion should survive everything, kill the rest. Still… there is a chance that Arya is the only Stark sibling that dies on this battle, we can see her running frightened on the first trailer.

People are saying that she dies with needle on her hand and reincarnates on Nymeria. For my part, I say that she is the one that takes down the Ice Dragon; with the spear, she made Gendry make her. That’s why she gets the Night Kings fury and maybe dies at his hands, with Jon watching (it’ll be a tragedy, I hate it).

The One with the Seven Kingdoms being dissolved:

Jon, a.k.a. Aegon Targaryen, is the last Targaryen alive and true heir to the Iron Throne. With Daenerys dying, he could fulfil his destiny. However, Westeros will be very different after the war with the dead.

This could probably lead Jon to dissolve the Seven Kingdoms and dedicate only to rule his one; it will be smaller kingdoms again.

Probably Tyrion survives the war and is by the ruler’s side advising, as the last of the Lannister alive.

There are more theories, one is that Sam Tarly survives and writes the Songs of Ice & Fire, Sansa survives the war as the Queen in the North and many more. Nevertheless, the ones I have stated, are the ones that could kill us all of a heart attack.

That is why I keep saying; enjoy the first episode, which was fun and playful.

We are not ready.

For Winter is here and…

Valar Morghulis.

GAME OF THRONES: The Three Dragon Heads

Finally the moment has arrived.

I’ve been dueling with this theories for some time now, but now it’s becoming clear that it could be truth in them.

Game of Thrones with all its madness and politics has a certain poetry within, this was confirmed last night on “The Door” episode with the hold the door situation, though it was sick as hell, the meaning of it all was dark but beautiful.

I’m not going to spoil “The Door” episode, so you can chill now. This is about something else, the theory I’ve gathered through many seasons and storylines, naming it “The Three Dragon Heads”.

My theory, merged with many fans, explain the real remains of the Targaryen clan.

We know the Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen. She was rescued as a new born along with his brother Viserys, on the verge of Robert Baratheon’s revolution.  Placed in hiding by the Spider of course, he confirmed this. He’s the Targaryen’s most loyal follower.

So, what does it has to do Jon Snow and Tyrion Lannister on my theory? That’s simple, they’re the two Dragon heads that remained.

We all know, not for the series, but by plain logic, that Jon Snow isn’t Ned Stark’s son. He’s his nephew, son of his sister Lyanna and Rhaegar Targaryen. We’ve seen the tower were Lyanna was kept (in one of Bran’s visions) and we are pretty sure that she died on child birth.

The “R + L = J” equation explains that Jon Snow is the only living son of Rhaegar Targaryen, Daenerys older brother.

He, in spite of being married and had children with Oberyn Martell’s sister, got Lyanna “kidnaped” and that’s what started Baratheon revolution.

Some of us think that it really wasn’t a kidnapping and they were in love. But still, she was Robert’s beau, so… blood had to run.

And that’s the reason Ned came back to Winterfell with a baby boy. He couldn’t reveal that in theory this was the last Targaryen alive, so he took the blame and mark him as his bastard, Jon Snow.

Another thing that firmly confirms that Jon is one of the three Dragon heads is the fact that he came back to life in blood and light magic, like the prophesy Melisandre was telling about, Azor Ahai:

“There will come a day after a long summer when the stars bleed and the cold breath of darkness falls heavy on the world. In this dread hour a warrior shall draw from the fire a burning sword. And that sword shall be Lightbringer, the Red Sword of Heroes, and he who clasps it shall be Azor Ahai come again, and the darkness shall flee before him.”

The sword is clearly Jon Snow’s blade, one of the three valkyrian steel ones left in Westeros. That he used to fight on the other side of the wall with the undead, defeating one of its leaders.

Like the Targaryen’s, Jon should be able to walk through fire harmless.

So, as explained, it’s pretty clear that Jon is one of the three Dragon heads.

But how does Tyrion Lannister fits to it?

Well, first of all, I think Tyrion is the son of Joanna Lannister and the Mad King, Aerys II Targaryen. That’s why Tywin Lannister hate him so much.

Joanna Lannister + “The Mad King” Aerys II Targaryen = Tyrion Lannister

This Targaryen folks loved to populate the globe. And even though, the Lannister clan was an ally of the Targaryen’s, the Mad King didn’t see eye to eye with Tywin Lannister.

In fact, Tywin hated him. One of the reasons could be, Tyrion. Other reason, well known is that he offered Cersei in marriage to Rhaegar Targaryen, but the Mad King said that she wasn’t good enough for his eldest son, so he married him with Oberyn Martell’s sister. I’m guessing that’s why Tywin took to his heart that the Mountain raped and killed her along with Rhaegar’s children.

The Mad King didn’t respect Tywin, maybe he was in love with Joanna or simply he was mad as a cow, but still, he didn’t.

The Targaryen genetic stream is an incestuous one, in fact, besides Rhaegar, I don’t know how many of his clan have married outside the circle. But still, even though there’s no prove that Rhaegar’s children with the Martell’s were somehow ill and we know Jon Snow isn’t, there’s a pretty good chance that Targaryen’s genetic mess could bring a dwarf to the world.

Also we have the fact that in spite that Cersei being a resentful woman, she was made evil, wasn’t born that way. So one cannot explain with logic her hatred towards Tyrion since he was a baby, we can recall Oberyn telling that story.

I think maybe Cersei somehow found out that Tyrion was her half-brother. Perhaps she heard her parents arguing about it and then began the hatred.

If we aim to the fact of unmeasurable hate, after the supposedly Targaryen extinction, Tyrion was the only remaining with a fair claim to the Iron Throne. Tywin and Cersei knew this, since always. That’s why they were focus on getting rid of him in any way possible, without raising any brows to it, at the eyes of Westeros, Tyrion was a Lannister.

This fact became pretty obvious with the Joffrey assassination and all the trial by combat nonsense.

Another clue that points out to Tyrion, is the remaining presence of the Spider as his sidekick. The Spider risked everything to rescue the dwarf from jail and where did he took him? To Daenerys realm, his sister.

I think the Spider and his birds, learned somehow this, the reason Tywin hated Tyrion so much and Varys is smarter than everyone in Westeros.

I can point out too that Tyrion, as his father (The Mad King), used Valkyrian Fire to fight Stannis Baratheon on the Blackwater war. It’s a pretty long shot, but still, it counts as a clue.

When he met Daenerys there was instant chemistry between them, like a big brother to his little sister.

And the last thing but not least important that reveals to me that he’s possibly the third head of the Dragon, is that, Dragons. Tyrion manage to tame Daenerys Dragons and that’s something only a Targaryen could do. Pretty much like Harry Potter talking with snakes and revealing he was also a Slytherin.

So, there you go, the Three Dragon Heads are: Daenerys, Jon and Tyrion. And also, they merge two of the biggest houses of Westeros, the Stark’s and the Lannister’s.

Though, ironically, the fair claim to the Iron Throne is for Tyrion. He’s the Mad King’s only remaining son, Daenerys is his little sister and Jon his nephew.

With time, I hope we learn if this was true.

SUICIDE SQUAD: La teoría de Robin

Desde que fue revelado el primer trailer de Suicide Squad por Warner Bros. Pictures, han surgido muchas teorías y diversas críticas en torno al Joker interpretado por Jared Leto.

La más interesante y enredada con la que me topé por la web, es la de Robin. Orquestada por un usuario en Reddit, la cuna de todas las hipótesis de internet.

Según la teoría, el Joker de Suicide Squad es el Robin “asesinado” por el Joker previo a este.

And here’s why…

La hipótesis de que este Joker es Jason Todd (Robin) se basa en tres puntos:

[-] El periódico que se ve en el trailer de Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, que dice “You let your family die”

[-] El traje de Robin en este mismo trailer en el memorial de la Baticueva

[-] El diseño de este Joker es particularmente extraño, esto se puede sumar a que tiene varios elementos en sí que indican su identidad previa como Jason Todd y que él “hace las cosas a su manera”.

Con respecto al periódico, lo único que puede relacionarse con esta teoría es que Bruce Wayne era una especie de padre adoptivo de Jason y este probablemente tiene resentimiento al no haber sido salvado del Joker original, después de todo Batman eligió atrapar al Joker antes de rescatar a Jason. Es un poco absurdo que alguien trate de hacerle bullying a Bruce sobre la muerte de sus padres, es más lógico que tenga que ver con Jason.

Ahora, referente al traje de Robin, es como la pista más evidente de esta teoría ya que el traje dice “The joke’s on you Batman”. ¿Qué broma puede ser a costa de Batman? Puede significar dos cosas: 1) Lo escribió el Joker después de matar a Jason 2) Lo escribió Jason al convertirse en el nuevo Joker resentido y vengativo contra Batman. El pilar de la relación de Bruce con Jason fue enseñarle a como ser mejor persona, a no estar enojado todo el tiempo, al final no importó y este es el gran chiste, porque el destino de Jason siempre fue convertirse en el Joker, siendo así el némesis de su padre (Batman).

El significado de los Tatuajes:

La mejor parte de esta teoría es desglosar los tatuajes y ver por qué están relacionados con la posibilidad de que este Joker sea Jason.

La “J” debajo de su ojo izquierdo: Parece un tatuaje que se hizo él mismo, se puede pensar que la J es por Joker, pero es demasiado obvio y redundante en su cara. Para Bruce la J es por Jason, cada vez que el ve al Joker sabe que le falló a este chico, le permitió convertirse en algo peor de lo que ya era originalmente. Según muchos seguidores del comic, en Arkham Knight Jason tiene una J en forma de sello debajo del ojo, esto prácticamente confirma que el Joker de Suicide Squad es Jason. Por otra parte, los tatuajes en forma de “lágrimas” debajo del ojo tienen un significado en prisión, es como que perteneces a alguien. Lo que explicaría también un poco el doble significado de la J, Jason pertenece al Joker, el Joker lo convirtió.

El “Damaged” en la frente: Todos los fans lo odian, pero puede tener un significado más contundente en la historia. Este parece un tatuaje que el Joker original le hizo a Jason, como un recordatorio de lo dañado que está y como el Joker lo destrozó psicologicamente. La única versión de Jason que queda es una dañada. Muy parecido a lo que Aldo hacía a los Nazi’s en Inglorious Basterds de Quentin Tarantino, marcados de por vida como ganado.

La gran sonrisa de Joker en el brazo derecho: Una sonrisa enorme con grandes dientes, el nuevo Joker no tiene la mejor dentadura. Se puede intuir que el original le rompió los dientes, se los arrancó de alguna forma, en Arkham Knight lo mata a tubazos (supuestamente), entonces cuando Jason se convirtió en el Joker no tenía dicha sonrisa icono del villano. Se la tatuó y se colocó los implantes.

Las alas de pájaro en su bicep derecho: No está totalmente confirmado, ya que en la imagen no se detalla muy bien, solo se ven plumas. Pero se puede presumir que el ave que tiene el Joker en el bicep es un Robin y ya sabemos lo que esto significa. Para Jason sería un recordatorio de quien fue en el pasado. Aparte una tortura visual para Bruce, la J que el asocia con Jason y el Robin que indica como fracaso con el chico.

El HAHAHA en su brazo izquierdo: Otro simbolismo hacia el Joker original, se debió reír a carcajadas mientras freía el cerebro de Jason y lo torturaba. También que se tatuara carcajadas lo hace ver como que se ríe de el mismo, él es un chiste, una copia, no es original.

Los tatuajes del Torso: Tiene un montón. El primero y más importante, es una Calavera con un sombrero de Harlequin Medieval, en la cultura pop esta relacionado con la muerte o el grim reaper. Este tatuaje se puede relacionar como la muerte de Jason y el renacimiento como el Joker, si interpretamos el sombrero. También se asocia a esto porque el tatuaje tiene humo alrededor y se sabe que Jason supuestamente falleció posterior a los tubazos que le propino el Joker en un incendio. Esta data le añade más peso al hecho de que el Joker nuevo es Jason, representativo de que murió su identidad anterior.

Las cartas, es un clásico así que no requiere leer mucho. Los HAHAHA significan lo mismo que explicamos anteriormente. También se puede ver en una de sus costillas derechas una “S” y una “Y”, puede decir “Harley’s Only”, la conclusión es la que ya se sabe, Jason convirtió a Harley por medio de tortura, como se ve en el trailer. Conociendo ya la historia de ese personaje y cómo aparece Harley Quinn. Ella está enamorada de la idea del Joker, no del Joker en sí, bastante loca.

Joker matando a Jason Todd, Robin.

La conclusión desde mi esquina es que este es un Joker que en su visage, tiene que redundar con que es EL Joker, lo que lo vuelve algo wannabe a la vista, quizás por eso tiene tanto rechazo de los fans. El trasfondo pienso eso, es un made up Joker, marcado por el Joker, con cicatrices profundas infligidas por el psicópata, eso transmiten sus tatuajes y toda su fachada. No creo que este tema de los tatuajes y el look sea algo random para ser trendy.

Si realmente Warner Bros. Pictures y DC Comics quieren linkear de manera interesante Suicide Squad con Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Jason Todd debería ser el Joker de Jared Leto.
