  3. Tywin Lannister told Jamie to kill the king Aerys aka the mad king

    It was Tywin who wanted to burn the city to the ground the mad king wanted To burn the Lannister army but Jamie killed the mad king to save his father because he is a dishonorable kingslaying cunt

  8. This whole theory about bran telling Aerys to stockpile wildfire always seemed tenuous at best. Firstly, there's no need for a Deus ex machina to account for a crazy Targyrien king, centuries of brothers and sisters screwing handles that all on its own.
    More to the point, why would Bran tell Ayres to stockpile wildfire and "burn them all!" After Dorne, Kings Landing is about as far as you can go away from the Wall as you can go. Moreover, by the time Bran is born, Aerys was widely known as the Mad King. What in the hell would make Bran to think "oh yeah, that wacked out guy who had a brain like a soggy pile of laundry! I can go back and have him deal with the WW (even though for all we know, the WW didn't even wake-up until after Aerys was dead).
    We see from the Battle of the Blackwater that they don't need a whole hell of a lot of time to create a large reserve of wildfire, definitely not long enough to justify keeping large reserves of the EXTREMELY volatile and dangerous stuff under a city with 500K people crammed into an area of a few square miles. Plus, how damn dangerous would the ships or wagons transporting the equivalent of medieval plutonium for thousands of miles?
    The whole thing just sounds so unlikely, they keeping the things I've listed off in mind, it would be a gigantic gaping plot hole. Just the whole "putting faith in the Mad King" part is bad enough. That would be the equivalent of some super-Christian trying tokeep the Romans from ever executing Jesus,by going back in time and telling Caligula to become Christian; literally the WORST emperor up to Jesus' death.
    If he were to do this,wouldn't going back to Rhaegar or, I don't know: Robert Boratheon make much more sense? Hell, Robert was so bored and just DONE with ruling by the time we meethim, that a guy like him would welcome the prospect of going to war with an existential threat of an enemy. Plus, the fact that he isn't bat shit crazy helps too.

  13. Bran gave the mad king the vision of the final battle to come, the dragon flying over kings Landing will be under the night king when they come down there for the final battle. The mad king saw all the white walkers and mistook his people for them

  16. What if the three eyed raven before Bran was in actuality Bran the Builder. Overusing his power made him be bound to the tree and knows that if Bran keeps warging into other people even by accident would influence the past and change the future and permit the White Walkers to gain advantage.

  17. It would be a cool symmetry if bran made Jaime become Kingslayer though by planting the thought..because it was was led him on the path to becoming the man that pushed him out of the window unlocking his green seeing to plant the thought hahah..bootstrap paradox like hodor

  29. The whole problem with this theory is they it leaves out the rest of what Aerys was saying when he was yelling that out: he wasn't yelling "burn them all," according to Jaime (who hasn't done anything to make me believe he was making it up, even at his worst (killing the king, killing his cousin, trying to kill Bran, he was never a liar) the king was giving the order "burn them all! burn them in their homes, burn them in their beds!"
    Now unless the White Walkers,besides being able to raise the dead and wipe out armies and kingdoms, are also home makers, Aerys was most definitely referring to the populating of Kings Landing, not the WW.

  32. The theory is interesting, but: Aerys was mad before that, if anybody else.actually read the books. 2:He said Burn them all, burn them in their homes, burn them in their beds, so that doesnt mean white walkers. 3;He said burn the city so Tywin Lannister doesnt find anything since hes the winner in the war. 4: Targaryrens were known to be mad, because of the heavy inbreeding that was going on. I.e. Aerys was mad, Viserys was showing sings of madness, and so is Daenerys.

  34. I agree with eric k. i think three eyed raven was the cause for the mad king. Thats why when he tells bran that "the past is already written, and the ink is dry." You see an emotional look on the three eyed raven. Like he is speaking from experience of attempting to alter the past. i think thats part of the reason why the TER is stuck, and the roots grew through him. Because he spent too much time away from his body, but eventually learned that altering the past can cause the present reality. George R M says that the ending of GOT will be bittersweet, and i think Bran will play a key role in the ending

  36. Excellent to be able to hypothesize like this, makes the show more fun. Okay, if Bran influenced the Mad King it wouldn't be direct. Hold the door became Hodor. So "Burn Them All" would have started with another comment. Something like burn the wall or something to do with the wall.
    What I think Bran is going to discover is the interaction between Jaime and the Mad King isn't what we believe. Jaime killed the king, stabbed him in the back for some other reason. Now, what could that have been.. Hmmmmm

  40. Why do we think it was Bran? Maybe it was the previous 3 eyed raven that for some reason was warging into the mad king. What Bran did to Hodor only shows us that it was possible. Lets say the previous 3 eyed raven was trying to influence the Mad king, warning him of the white walkers? And it was the mad kings own reaction to burn them all? But in the process he tweaked the king.

  43. Bran did do that. He does it when he realizes that the White Walkers can be stopped by no army of men. They'll sweep through westeros until bran realizes what he must do.

    It is well known that Ned finds Jamie in the throne room shortly after the aerys "burn them all" incident. Bran takes control of aerys at that this point to have him use his wildfire to kill all the rebels, his own father included. Jon Snow is a baby at the time making it years before Bran's conception.

    Bran realizes that his own mistake of getting touched by the night's king has doomed the realm. He allowed the walkers into the cave and he allows the walkers past the wall. Only by killing his own father in King's Landing can he prevent his own birth, and his own dooming of the world. If he's never touched by the night's king the wall protects westeros from the walkers.

    To top it all off, Martin has hinted at a bittersweet ending. I can think of nothing more so than a heroic suicide for the good of all others.
