So what's this guy's endgame?
To bring balance to the world
>>86047938
Ethically white national socialism.
>>86047938
He wants to turn himself into a pickle.
>>86047938
He want's to bring Santa to the world of GOT
To stop global warming caused by human body heat.
he symbolizes the ALIEN (as UFO ALIEN) threat to the people
watch the movie "Unacknowledged"
i know i sound like a lunatic but it checks out xD
>>86047938
Crashing Westeros...
his entire mystique died the moment we saw they're nothing but men-turned-to-zombies by forest hippies. dropped.
secretly our guy
>>86048326
Yeah the season 6 origin story reveal was a real let down desu
it worked better as this unknown enemy from uninhabited lands.
Back before the show there were a lot of theories about there being some possible portal or just otherworldly dimension beyond the lands of always winter and this was some eternal struggle between unexplained forces or w/e. it was hella comfy.
now it's just another nuclear bomb allegory.
reminder that we've never actually seen him or his followers do anything evil. big twist is that he was the good guy all along
he's that nicca
>>86048326
Well, the real Night's King was a man who boned the Great Other and became an icy Elf.
>>86047938
They represent two themes/tropes:
1. Looming real world/force of nature disaster that humans are too petty to prepare for, to subvert the "everyone works together honorably against the forces of evil" bedrock fantasy theme
2. An easy out to avoid the ultimately irreconcilable positions of the main characters. IE if you have a greater threat suddenly your problems ain't so big and you can all come together with your medieval fantasy UN. I'm sure GRRM had some idea how to subvert that trope when he was planning the series back before any of us were born, but the show isn't going to do anything interesting with it.
>>86048475
That sounds dumb as all fuck. You really want alternate realities, of all fucking things, in GoT?
You're dumb, dude.
>>86047938
Literally crashing this numale show with no survivers
>>86048571
oh right the killing tons of babies and helpless wildling villagers isn't wrong meme
reduce entropy in the world with eternal cold
>inb4 chhaoosh isha laddeh
>>86048667
It already is an alternate reality my dude, and I'm just saying some of the speculation dipshit.
Having it be unknown/undefined is 10x comfier than "we just wanted to fight humans but we went too far!!!!1111" tired old trope
>>86047993
>>86048083
Unacknowledged explicitly states that ETI's are not a threat.
Dr. Speer is wrong about this of course, because duality does not stop at the end of our atmosphere, but nevertheless that's what his documentary says. Other than that naive interpretation that "all ETs are good" I agree that Unacknowledged is worth watching and I encourage people to check it out.
>>86047938
They are an inclusive society and accept all the different races and culture into their army.
Not appearing so we have to watch shit instead.
The billboards in the UK with GoT advertisements have his mug on them yet after 4 episodes we've seen him for what? 5 seconds? At this rate the next time we see him is on the episode 7 cliff hanger, then we'll have to wait another fucking year.
>>86047938
>So what's this guy's endgame?
But more importantly, his tax policy?
>>86048667
Creatures from another plane of existence or different dimension is not the same as "alternate reality."
>>86048934
>this is a 10 in the Westerlands
>>86047938
Mass immigration.
>>86048962
Every single fantasy story does this with their endgame villain. You want them to show him hanging out and start giving him character traits so he can get fangirls and get shipped with other characters?
>>86048475
Wouldn't the children of the forest blowing up the arm of dorne and flooding the neck work better as a bomb allegory?
do they even mention that shit in the show, even once?
>>86048256
beat me to it.
He's an alien from another dimension that came to invade other galaxies.

>>86049077
Probably that too, but blowing it up doesn't represent the same existential threat that the Others do. One is just a huge but localized disaster that alters landforms (and didn't even work for its intended purpose coz humans can into boats), the other is the possible end of all life as we know it. You could argue that Essos would persist, so who knows there, but they'll probably handwave that away if it ever comes up.
And I don't remember them mentioning it, someone might have said it offhand but probably not.
>>86048962
Isn't this the last season?
>>86047938
look at those skinny biceps. why doesnt he lift bros?
>>86049170
yes that would be the accurate verb there, unless you missed the part where they said "the army of the dead" about 20,000 times
or unless you think those babies went and got spa treatments in the zombie stonehenge
>>86049039
But there is a wall, the strongest obstacle
>>86049245
They split it into two smaller seasons, one of 7 eps, the other of 6. So technically it's the second half next year, but they're calling it season 8.
>>86048022
>mfw i kill socialists
>>86048326
This. The whole appeal of White Walkers was their aura of mystery., you can't possibly do them justice with an explanation. Unless the big reveal turned out to be something like >>86048475, where if you go far enough North you find a gateway to another world and the White Walkers are that world's ecosystem spilling through. Even there it only works because the reveal sets up an even bigger unknown.

All whitewalkers lift, but it's negated by the fact there's no good source of lean protein and unsaturated fats in the Lands of Always Winter.
They're marching south for the gains.

>>86049341
I do wonder how they plan to get past it. As far as we know, besides their numbers nothing much else has changed.
They haven't been able to break through it for millenia now, do they have something that can finally break it?
>>86049569
Fair point, but they're kinda restrained by the geography of the story. You won't see many characters hanging out past the wall to be within his range, but you can't have him make it past the wall until the very end for the showdown.
>>86049751

I don't think it's come up in the show tho so that would be a real mcguffin with zero setup.
Apparently the wall is going to come down, but no one knows how yet. I'm guessing if they don't bring in the horn it'll just be some like "Oh the Night King finally broke the old magic that created the wall", or they'll go with the frozen sea bay of seals theory to just subvert it entirely.
I had a dream where he spoke to Jon and he sounded exactly like Psycho Mantis.
>>86049729
Did they make Dorne pay for it?
>>86047938
To collect all the humanity.

They're going around it.

Dany accidentally melts the wall with dragon fire
>>86049751
Watch the opening cinematic, There's a spoiler in there which wasn't present in previous seasons.
Bran is both Bran the builder of the wall, and the night king.
>>86050825
Title sequence??
>>86050825
Hollow earth theory confirmed, they just have to jump to reach Dorne
Why don't the ice creatures just sail around the wall?
does anyone has a link to watch or download the last episode?

the water is frozen, they're going to go around. they've been waiting for it to get cold enough to freeze it completely since they can't swim
>>86049372
>here if you go far enough North you find a gateway to another world and the White Walkers are that world's ecosystem spilling through
Thats sounds more dumb than the Carcossa theory
What if he's actually the three eyed raven in the future who wargrd into the past and became the human who became the night king.
What if everyone is actually an extension of bran?
>>86047938
To conquer Azeroth
>>86052306
>the water is frozen, they're going to go around. they've been waiting for it to get cold enough to freeze it completely since they can't swim
Oh shit that's pretty clever.
But still won't the Night's Watch be aware of this?
>>86048711
hes bringing them back to life as immortal zombies perfectly adapted to an icy environment
>>86050982
I know some people believe this, what's the sense in this "theory"?
>>86052005
so why didn't they do that in the previous winters?
>>86047938
Crashing this wall.
>>86053198
they were dead the last winter according to the world
To take it easy
>>86049222
true, those were more one off things, and mostly ineffective.
As for Essos vulnerability, I thought that's where the whole shadow beyond asshai thing came in. More walkers or some other larger source of older evil.
if the red god is real, is the great other also real?
>>86053335
to be fair they walk really slow
>>86049751
Brann is guiding them through. Remember that they could get through the CotF barrier after touching him in the vision. For the same reason will they get through the wall.
All of this is intentional by the 3-eyed-raven btw. This is why Bran is acting like such a cold autist to his siblings, he doesn't care for them anymore.
>>86048475
>>86048667
>>86049077
i'd prefer it if we never found out what they really were or what they wanted, over the explaination we were given

>he's traveling north

How the hell did the unsullied take off from Dragonstone and not get seen by/see Euron's fleet before? I did not know Dragonstone was so close to King's Landing.
>>86047938
All of ASOIAF is about the duality between Ice and Fire. All of the universe mystic shit is based on Lovecraftian mythology. The White Walkers serve Cthulhu while the Dragons and the Fire Priestess serve R'hllor, the god of Fire. The humans are just pawns in a battle between two gods.
Meanwhile in GOT, the White Walkers are just humans turned into ice monsters by fucking hippies."muuhhhh forest muhhhh bad humans muhhh dined nuffin".
>>86053426
>conveniently forgetting they ride horses and countless scenes where zombies usain bolt the living wildlings and night's watch
why did they recast him? the one from hardhome actually looked cool and menacing, he actually looked like devil, meanwhile the newer version looks like a goof with horns and kike nose, and can't keep his mouth shut.
>>86054140
>conveniently formeting the speed of movement of their army when sam saw them
>>86048326
This. Books Others were described as vaguely Arthurian/Celtic Fae creatures. Otherworldly supernatural creatures with what seemed to be a penchant for cruelty. Some sort of Unseelie court shit.
Turns out it's just humans, and that's lame.
>>86047938
He wants to enact the song "Notorious - Triple K", but applying it to all races but undead.

Isn't the whole point of the wall that it's fucking magic? If they could just walk around it, why haven't they done that before?
>>86055846
Shrek ain't as bad as that, senpai.
>>86049219
Witcher predates ASOIAF sweetie :)
>>86059440
In the show? If he did I don't remember. Hopefully that's the setup they'll use. I mean they sure let the whole valyrian dagger with Bran thing drop but picked that right up 7 years later. lol
>>86048475
>Back before the show there were a lot of theories about there being some possible portal or just otherworldly dimension beyond the lands of always winter and this was some eternal struggle between unexplained forces or w/e. it was hella comfy.
Other dimension would be FUCKING GAY. I hate it when fantasy uses.. uhh... other dimension to explain shit unnecessarily and the white walkers being from another dimension would be just that. Gay. WTF is wrong with the current story? I like it. I think this is good or NO explanation would work also, but another dimension would be extremely gay that only autistic faggot like you would like.
