In short, Lyanna is the Slut of the Seven Kingdoms
Although that "lots of the ideas are from the GOT community online" — applause
REALLY wish this wasnt the title of this video. You coulda just left out the Rhaegar part and I think it woulda been just fine. -_-;
Without Rhaegar there wouldnt have been Jon Snow/Azor Ahai on the story..so Rhaegars haters[Stannis lovers] on the comments should to STFU.
Lie-Ana…
Your theory really is the best I have come across in the net. Thank you
Really hard to appreciate Rhaegar when you keep showing a picture of Viserys
I really like the idea that the hero of the story died fifteen years before the narrative begins.
You're back 😍😍😍
only GRRM would kill the true hero of the story even before the story starts.
Holy shit. I've read a lot of Azor Ahai theories on /r/asoiaf, but apparently not enough. Alt Shift X usually gets inspiration for his theories from other theorycrafters, but is this original? The part with the metaphor of Lightbringer breaking in water, a lion but finally forged successfully with his wife, I've never read that anywhere.
This is awesome, I want to tell you that you do an amazing work at explaining these theories, I love every theory about game of thrones, keep on doing your great work! Thank you so much!
Rhaegar was a cunt who got everyone killed. He is not a hero, he's a dumb fuck who, if had done things properly, would've made the Reign flourish.
Books =/= Show
Still not sure why Jon's real name is Aegon and he had a half brother named Aegon too…..
Good to have you back man.
Wow. This was brilliant.
"and did I mention, I play the harp" Priceless.
I'd buy that for a dollar!
"Hero" Sure, fuck that inbred bastard.
Awesome, so happy you're back!
OMFG i couldn't believe it when you mentioned the parallels with the forging of light bringer and the deaths of the Targs. LIKE IT BLEW MY MIND!!!!
