7 Game of Thrones fan theories that actually came true

As a die-hard Game of Thrones fan who has spent countless hours discussing theories and speculations with fellow enthusiasts, I can confidently say that George R.R. Martin’s masterpiece was filled with prophecies and fan theories that came remarkably true.

Throughout the eight-season run of “Game of Thrones”, a multitude of fan theories emerged. Initially, these theories were spawned by readers of the source books, but as the plot unfolded, both book enthusiasts and those who only watched the show began to contribute their own speculations.

Many of the fan theories surrounding the series didn’t pan out, such as Jon Snow not being the one to slay the Night King or Jaime Lannister not being involved in his sister Cersei’s demise. Nevertheless, there were quite a few predictions that did come true. Now let’s examine the major ones that actually transpired.

R + L = J

Starting with the widely debated fan theory, there’s a strong belief among viewers from the get-go that Jon Snow wasn’t actually the illegitimate son of Ned Stark as we were led to believe. Ned just didn’t strike us as the type who would have an affair. The fact that Ned never revealed who Jon’s mother was suggested there was something more significant at play.

It became apparent to fans that Jon might have been Lyanna Stark’s secret son. While it was previously believed that Lyanna was abducted by Rhaegar Targaryen, what if their relationship was based on love instead? Could it be possible that they had a child who eventually grew up to become Jon Snow?

Initially, F’s audience had differing opinions about whether Jon was truly a Targaryen prince or a bastard, yet this debate proved irrelevant. What mattered most to the fans was the truth behind R + L = J, which eventually proved accurate.

Benjen Stark didn’t die and became Coldhands

In the initial season of “Game of Thrones”, Jon Snow’s uncle, Benjen Stark, disappeared during a ranger assignment beyond The Wall. Since in fictional worlds, a character’s demise is considered unreliable if it doesn’t occur onscreen, viewers speculated about Benjen’s fate for quite some time.

Readers had strongly believed that Benjen Stark was the enigmatic cloaked figure from George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series who aided Bran beyond the Wall, nicknamed Coldhands. As it turns out, this theory held true in the TV adaptation, though the books have yet to reach that point. However, “Game of Thrones” did confirm that Benjen Stark was indeed Coldhands, despite the show never assigning him that moniker.

The Iron Throne would be destroyed

In the House of the Undying during the finale of the second season, Daenerys Targaryen experienced visions. One of these visions showed the Iron Throne in a charred throne room, with what appeared to be both ashes and snow falling from above. While it wasn’t definitive, this could suggest that winter might arrive at King’s Landing. What was undoubtedly clear, however, was that the Iron Throne would meet its demise.

Ultimately, no one asserted their claim on the Iron Throne following the downfall of King’s Landing. Daenerys Targaryen never had the opportunity to occupy it because Jon Snow struck her down before she could do so. Enraged by this turn of events, Drogon, her dragon, brought about its own destruction, thus fulfilling the prophecy and a popular fan theory.

Jon Snow would come back from the dead

The fifth installment in George R.R. Martin’s series, “A Song of Ice and Fire,” titled “A Dance with Dragons,” concluded with an unexpected turn of events: Jon Snow was slain by fellow Night’s Watch members. As we eagerly anticipate the release of the sixth book to learn more about this development, the television adaptation lent credence to a popular fan theory: the red priestess Melisandre will resurrect Jon Snow from his death.

In a surprising twist, Jon’s untimely demise seemed illogical within the grand narrative. With Jon gone, there was no one else to alert the people about the Night King. Sam, after all, wouldn’t be easily believed. Given Melisandre’s presence at Castle Black, it was only logical that she would resurrect him. Indeed, the fan theory that had been speculated in Game of Thrones season 6 turned out to be true earlier than expected.

Arya would become a Faceless Man

Initially, when Arya crossed paths with Jaqen H’ghar at Harrenhal, there was an unmistakable sense of unfinished business. He aided Arya and her companions in their escape and revealed some of his extraordinary talents – he could alter his appearance. Just before departing, he bestowed upon Arya a coin from Braavos, hinting that if she ever chose to use it, she’d be granted safe passage to the city of Braavos. In Braavos, she could then seek him out for training.

Readers could see this hinted at her upcoming transformation. Indeed, Arya ultimately assumed the role of a Faceless Man, and it was through this training that she successfully vanquished the Night King.

Gendry would return and be legitimized

Following Ser Davos’ assistance in Gendry’s escape from Dragonstone to prevent Stannis Baratheon from executing him, Gendry was absent for several seasons. This absence led to a recurring joke among viewers, implying that he continued to row his boat. However, fans speculated that he eventually returned to King’s Landing.

Instead of merely speculating that character Gendry might reappear, fans anticipated his return and even assumed he’d be recognized as a legitimate son of King Robert Baratheon. There was speculation among them that he could potentially rise to become the ruler of Westeros. Although the latter didn’t occur, what did happen was indeed Gendry’s comeback and acknowledgement of his noble lineage.

The Wall would come down to allow the Night King to cross

It’s apparent that The Wall was constructed as a barrier to prevent the Night King and the White Walkers from entering Westeros. However, despite the march of the undead toward it, they never breached the wall. This implies that if there was to be a showdown between the living and the dead, the Wall would need to be destroyed.

There were several ideas about what might transpire. One of the primary ones was that a dragon would bring down the Wall. And indeed, following the Night King’s acquisition of Viserion, events unfolded precisely as predicted. The Wall succumbed effortlessly, and winter struck Westeros in a manner the continent had never before endured.
