In this solo fan‑theory video, the presenter proposes a bittersweet conclusion to A Song of Ice and Fire that weaves together narrative clues, George R. R. Martin’s literary influences, and historical parallels. He predicts that Cersei Lannister will be eliminated within the first three episodes of season 7, after which Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow will forge a political alliance (marriage) unaware of their Targaryen kinship. The White Walker threat will be resolved in a massive battle where dragons and Daenerys defeat the Others, but the cost is the death of most magical characters – Jon, Daenerys, the dragons, Melisandre, Bran (who sacrifices himself to stop his time‑loop interference), and Arya. Drawing on Tolkien’s motif of magic’s departure, the presenter argues that all magical beings will exit the world once their purpose is fulfilled. He then shifts to a historical analogy: the English Wars of the Roses, where the Yorks (Starks) and Lancasters (Lannisters) ultimately united through marriage. In his theory, after the magical cataclysm Tyrion Lannister survives, marries Sansa Stark, and together they rule a post‑magic Westeros, echoing the York‑Lancaster union. The video frames these ideas as speculative, citing Martin’s known inspirations (Tolkien, medieval history) and inviting viewer discussion.

Hey you, welcome back to the channel. And guys, today I want to talk Game of Thrones, how it's gonna end. And I think this theory, guys, is gonna be quite a bit different from some of the ones you've probably already heard. This is gonna go into some areas where You probably didn't quite think about it this way, but I'm going to use a connection between some history that the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, or Game of Thrones story, George R.R. Martin, some of the, some components of history he's taken interest in and has served as inspiration for the story. And as well as some fiction, some authors that have been a model for him, and I believe he's taken great inspiration from them as well in creating this story. So let's get into it, guys. What are we going to get as the ending for Game of Thrones? Uh, well, let's think about some of the, uh, indicators that George R.R. Martin has given us. So one thing he says about the ending is that it will be bittersweet. So, you know, bittersweet, we can pretty much determine that some things are going to be good and something is going to be bad, right? Gonna get some happy ending and some endings, right? So let's, let's talk about what I believe that is gonna be. So first, first portion of it is I think what's going to happen is as we go into season 7 with Cersei sitting on the Iron Throne, I really do believe that they're gonna make quick work of, or short work of, of Cersei. I don't think Cersei is going to be around long. I don't think she's going to be a major factor. I think her end will probably come within the first 3 episodes. Her, and I believe it's going to be her along with her allies, which is probably going to consist of Euron Greyjoy, possibly, possibly Littlefinger, and I believe they're all going to be wiped out by Daenerys and her allies and her dragons. Not only are they going to be wiped out, but the kingdom's going to be in a state of somewhat— well, I won't say peace because they have the impending threat of the White Walkers. But I believe they're going to focus on Cersei first. And once that's done, I believe that Jon Snow and Daenerys are going to make a deal to unite the kingdom with both, with, you know, Jon as the king and Daenerys as the queen, unbeknownst to them that they are relatives through the Targaryen line. So in my theory, guys, Both Daenerys and Jon at this point will not know that they are related and that they will be, uh, brokering a marriage agreement after they've defeated Cersei, uh, to be married and to rule the Seven Kingdoms. Unfortunately, with the impending threat of the White Walkers, none of this is going to happen. And at some point around that time, I believe Jon might find out that he is Targaryen and that Daenerys is his aunt. But with the impending threat now, their main goal— and main, or rather, the main threat— they're gonna all run together as one kingdom to fight the White Walkers with dragons. Now, in my theory, what's going to happen is the White Walkers will be defeated by the dragons and Daenerys, but several things are going to happen during this war, during this battle. Both Jon Snow and Daenerys and the dragons Even Melisandre, possibly. They're all going to perish in this battle, and— but they're gonna perish, but they are going to undo the White Walker threat. Now that's part of the theory. Now let's talk about where I'm pulling from to get this information to substantiate this theory. Well, First off, let's think of a few things. First, um, let's think of where George R.R. Martin gets a lot— got a lot of his inspiration and doing kind of this American, uh, fantasy, uh, series. And a lot of that came from J.R.R. Tolkien, who did The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, And I believe George pulls a lot of inspiration from those books in his storytelling. We can tell he's greatly inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien. His name almost sounds like J.R.R. Tolkien, right? So let's think about how J.R.R. Tolkien ends The Hobbit series and The Lord of the Rings. What happens? Well, after the key magical characters fulfill their destiny, they leave on a ship. You know, they leave the world of man because now it's the time of men once again. And as we open up in the Game of Thrones series, we open up up in a time of magic. Why do we open up in a time of magic? We open up in a time of magic because the White Walkers have once again arisen. And so not only have the White Walkers arisen, shortly after that, dragons have been born. So you have this birth of ice and fire once again, the Song of Ice and Fire, the impending War of Ice and Fire, right? The Red God R'hllor You know, the fire god, a god of fire, and he's fighting his, uh, he's fighting the, the, the, uh, the, the gods of the earth, right, who are considered gods as well. This, this war, this, they're, they're natural enemies of each other, so that war is impending. But also the reason all of the dragons and the White Walkers will perish Again, like taken from J.R.R. Tolkien's books, this is a time now, man, magic is ending. And so all magical, all magic, all magical beings are going to be taken out of the story, out of the world of Westeros, or out of the world of Ice and Fire. You might go say, okay, well, what does that have to do with Jon and Daenerys and Targaryen. Well, remember, Jon and Daenerys are Targaryens. Targaryens are Valyrians. They are of old Valyrian blood. And what you have to understand about George R.R. Martin in, in the World of Ice and Fire, magic seems to have a genetic connection to blood and to people. And so the magic lives in Valyrians, you know, it lives in Daenerys and Jon. And this is why I believe that Jon and Daenerys will perish along with all of the other magical, uh, properties and characters throughout the world, much just like how in the Lord of the Rings books and at the end, they, they had served their purpose, right? And once they served their purpose, they were no longer part of that world and needed in that world. So these are all heroes. I believe Jon and Daenerys, all of these people are figurative Azor Ahai, and they're serving a purpose to that end, and they will disappear until needed again, or they will exit this world. Right? So that's why I believe that's all going to happen. Also, Bran also is going to fit under that umbrella. Bran, I believe, will perish as well. Bran will perish as a result of, I believe, his time traveling, right? His ability to, to, to affect the timeline because he's moving back and forth and he's, you know, part of the timeline. He's starting to, through his loops in time, he's creating a lot of these events. So I believe Bran is gonna figure it out that the only way to escape this is for him to somewhat perish from the timeline himself, so he's no longer interfering and being a problem to that. So I believe Bran and all of his abilities and magic is gonna perish So, uh, all these Starks with magical properties are going to perish. Arya is going to perish. Everyone who's in association with those magic properties will end. Uh, so, okay, we've gotten that far, uh, how it's going to end. So it's supposed to be— those are kind of the bitter parts, but it's also supposed to be sweet. So let's go over some of the sweet parts. Of the ending that you may have not have thought of yet working in this way. So for this other part of the ending theory, we're gonna go into history and we're gonna discuss an event that happened in history known as the War of the Roses. And for those of you who don't know about the War of the Roses, this was a war that took place in England a battle between Richard III and Henry VII, uh, of the House Lancaster and the House of York. Richard III was the Yorkish king, and Henry VII, I believe, was an earl of the Lancaster dynasty who battled and arose victorious, becoming the new king. And of course, you know, Henry VII is the father of Henry VIII. Henry VIII as the father of Queen Elizabeth I. So the reason that this is all important, guys, is because, um, the Lancasters and the Yorks, two powerful families going to war, battling, are basically an inspiration for the Lannisters and the Starks. The Starks similar to the Yorks, and the Lannisters similar to the House of Lancaster. So the kind of sweet part of this is what we also have happen in history with these two powerful families is that throughout all their wars and battles, these families actually end up uniting under marriage where we had a union between the Yorks and the Lancasters, right, through marriage. So how could this play out in Game of Thrones toward an ending? Well, we could actually have Tyrion of House Lannister, who is left after the doom of the White Walkers is over, after all magic is gone out of The World of Ice and Fire, we have Tyrion left. As some have theorized, Tyrion was actually the son of Aegon— I'm sorry, of King Aerys the Mad King, which I don't believe. I think that Tyrion was actually the son of Tywin, that he was— Tywin was his biological father, his actual father. I don't know about the other siblings, but I believe that Tyrion was really Tywin's son, and he is in fact, you know, of his bloodline. So Tyrion will be around, I believe, but Tyrion will now head up the Lannister family after the war. He will become, you know, the proper lord of the of the Lannister family, because Daenerys and Jon will be dead at this point. Like, there will be no kingdom under one rule, but it will be the powerful houses still vying for now, or trying to come together as to what families will now rule the kingdom. And this will come down to the Starks and the Lannisters Tyrion will resume his relationship with Sansa Stark. Sansa now without any heirs, you know, to Winterfell, to the North. No more Bran, because Bran will be dead in my theory as a result of finding out through his loops in time he's creating an issue. Jon will have died with the Battle of the White Walkers as well as Daenerys. And so Sansa at this point will be the true heir to the North. She will wed Tyrion Lannister, much like the Yorks wed the Lancasters after the War of the Roses. And there will be this kind of happy— Tyrion, we've seen him to be a very capable ruler, just ruler, good at rulership. As he served as Hand of the King, he probably was the best ruler throughout the Seven Kingdoms we've seen in his stewardship of the kingdom. And Sansa will be his wife, and together they will rule Westeros, or whatever it becomes at this point. I don't, you know, I'm not sure it will be still the Iron Throne in that sense. Or if there will be several changes. But guys, this is my theory on how Game of Thrones will end. And, you know, for those of you who don't like spoilers, who don't really want to think of it this way, I wouldn't worry so much about it because, you know, as we've seen throughout the history of Game of Thrones, you know, what happens in George R.R. Martin's books and what happens in the show are two completely different, uh, animals, right? And sometimes they combine characters, sometimes expand characters. And so, uh, we could very well get this with this. But just based on some research and some things I've noticed about both George R.R. Martin and the series, I could see it going away like this. Anyway, guys, I hope you've liked my theory, comment, let me know how you think Game of Thrones will end, or if you've heard better theories, or if you think this is the best you've heard, or if you got some other idea.
