Game of Thrones is coming to a close, and the build-up is very intense.
There's a lot to wrap-up in one episode, and fans are going crazy as they come up with their own theories on how it will end. Recently, a pretty sad one surfaced about Jon Snow.
Minor Game of Thrones spoilers ahead!
With only one episode left of Game of Thrones, fans are kind of scared to see what will happen.
Sadly, there's a theory that our goodbye to him will actually be a little more heart-wrenching than we thought.
Lord of the Rings is a series that has inspired many fantasy writers.
This particular theory aligns those classic characters with the Game of Thrones characters.
"It ends with victory, but it's a bittersweet victory," he said.
Will GoT end in a similar fashion and in what ways might it mimic Lord of the Rings?
In the last episode, Ghost was sent away from Jon to be free in the north, where Jon believes he will be happier.
This is what has led to the following theory.
The Iron Throne is meant to be the Ring of Power.
It's the thing that everyone wants, and it's the thing that everyone is willing to kill for.
Daenerys has been making her play for the Iron Throne for as long as we have known her.
This could potentially destroy her, and lead to her downfall.
Bran has not yet truly made his play in the show, and we're all waiting for him to reveal who he really is.
Bran could be the ruler of all, as he is level headed, and is uncorrupted.
He is our Frodo.
He will complete his mission but at a cost. It will break something inside him, and he will end up going to the north to live alone with Ghost.
The Vanity Fair theory doesn't suggest that Jon would die, but this would still have us in tears.
What do you think about this theory? Let us know in the comments!
