Game of Thrones Stars on The Weirdest Fan Theories They’ve Heard
By Ani Bundel
What do Game of Thrones fans love more than obsessively seeking out spoilers for the coming season? Speculating what might turn out to be spoilers for the upcoming season! And fans are always up for telling the stars of the show their pet outlandish ideas for the fates of certain characters. Natalie Dormer said recently that it was her favorite part of meeting fans at events like San Diego Comic Con–hearing the insane theories of how it all might end.
Now MTV has sat down the cast of Game of Thrones, and asked them what are the most insane theories they’ve heard so far, and which are their favorites. Check out the responses below.
I love how Alfie Allen, who was chock full of his own outlandish theories to Buzzfeed simply refuses to discuss any theories here. Also, Liam Cunningham and Carice van houten once again put the Stannis isn’t fdead theories to rest–which isn’t really a direct answer to the question at hand.
That may be because Liam Cunningham discussed insane fan theories only a a day or so prior with Rolling Stone. Sadly the video is not embeddable. (You can watch it here though.) Among some of the theories Cunningham discusses are the Jon Snow is Azor Ahai reborn idea (which is a fan theory that some take very seriously) while another is the one that Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen are brother and sister. (That one is not taken as seriously–though many believe they are related.) Cunningham doesn’t believe either of these theories though, and says that the Ahai reborn doesn’t fit in what George told him.
The other theories are less serious–Jaime Lannister having dyslexia for instance, or dragonglass being dragon feces. That one seems to irritate Cunningham quite a bit and he gets very lectury on the nature of dragonglass. “Dragonglass is obsidian … What happens is when a sand gets molten, when it cools down, it turns into black glass — and that’s obsidian.” The more you know!
Head over to Rolling Stone to check out Cunningham’s own theory of how the season ends.
