A picture mean a thousands words they say lol. Anyway I always want to know more about the White walker since they have so little air time. The majority of the time you'll see the human plotting, waging wars to killed each others in large scale and sacrificing a screaming girl to the burning hot fire. The Night king on the other hand able to converted a baby without any pain or suffering. In a way, the Night King remind of Thanos. They both want to created a world without wars, hungers, diseases and even death. Once resurrected a blind can see, a crippled can run and any diseases including cancer will be cured. This how they'll never need water or food? Maybe you can help me out Stasis - a slowing or stoppage of the normal flow of a bodily fluid or semifluid: such as. a : slowing of the current of circulating blood. b : reduced motility of the intestines with retention of feces.

Slowly reading the books after having seen the show. I think Cersei should have been the villain of Season 8 and they have to get rid of her.

It ends with The Long Night commencing and the snow doesn't stop falling until the Night King is defeated at the end of the 10th season.

I wanted Varys on the throne. He could be the real king behind an "official king" who was just a frontman, pawn, to fool the masses. It was kinda like that with Jeoffrey and Tywin.

He was just into power so he could be a vicious bastard without having to deal with consequences for his actions. Boy, did that come back to bite him. He was also a gigantic coward.

After 8 seasons of build up, they completely ruin the Night King, and the whole fucking show. It was PATHETIC! No main characters die, despite being completely overrun, and in danger the whole time. Sam about to die, saved at the last minute. Melisandre about to die, saved at the last minute. Jaime saves Brienne, at the last minute. Hound saves Arya, at the last minute. Dany saves Jon, at the last minute. Jorah saves Dany, at the last minute. Arya saves Bran, at the last minute. Cheap Close Call Clichés that don't create tension, like the fucking retarded showrunners think they do, they erase all tension! That ISN'T GOT! And the side characters that do die, all die heroic deaths, and with no unfinished business, and way too much fan service. Again, THAT ISN'T GOT! Martin would never have written that dumb shit! Its pure fucking pandering! There is no artistic visiom behind this show anymore. Just a bunch of spineless cunts trying to please the "fans" who watch for the battles and don't want their favorites to die. Nothing was answered about the Night King. NOTHING. Turns out he was a second-rate side villain that was evil for the sake of being evil. George R.R. Martin would kill himself before he wrote a character that cliché. He was built up for 9 fucking years! "Death is coming. Our enemy never tires. The Iron Throne doesn't matter, the Night King is coming" - 9 FUCKING YEARS! And he is resolved in ONE episode?! And he doesn't kill anyone at all?! He doesn't even get his sword out?! D&D, you worthless pieces of shit, go to a fucking filmmaking class and learn about Chekov's gun, you dumb motherfuckers. I hope you never work again. And after all that, he is killed by a little girl, who jumped 100 feet, over dozens of undead and White Walkers, and outsmarted an 8000 year old god of Death, despite him having caught her and having plenty of time to snap her neck. But no, the bad guys do nothing in this episode, they are cannon fodder to elevate the heroes further. Are you kidding me?! Do the fucking maggots even know the show they are making?! How did Arya get to the Night King??? Biggest plot hole in the world. You ruined a great show and pissed on the source material, you took a shit all over its identity and turned it into Hollywood cliché trash. Fuck you D&D, I hope you suffer.

[@ReaverLordTonus]

A lot has been revealed since this video, it's confirmed that the White Walkers were created by the Children of the forest to use as a weapon in their war with the first men, the Night King was created from one of the first men they captured. It was established that later the Walkers rebelled against the children and could very well be the reason there are not too many left (assuming the ones we saw killed were not the last in existence). They are essentially a doomsday weapon run amok, like Skynet or the Reapers, who are so driven by their purpose to consume all that no one can hope to control them. The 'bittersweet' ending GRRM speaks of could be that in order for the White walkers to be subdued, someone must become the Night King, return them all north of the wall, and keep them there for all eternity. Jon would likely be the one to make this sacrifice, plunging a shard of dragon glass into his own heart and stopping the army of the dead in their tracks. He'd save the day, but would have to spend eternity in the land of always winter so the army of the dead will forever sleep. the sweet part could be Danaerys discovering she's pregnant with Jon's child and we see the son of a King of Ice and a Queen of fire, a "prince that was promised".

@@basikk5808 It is a conversation about the show, not the book. Well mostly. Do you have something of use to add? I never understand why people think books carry more value then video. It's a fantasy story, Like a lot of fantasy stories they get changed a bit when made for TV. It is no longer the creation of one person but several. Making them 2 very separate things sometimes. Not always a bad thing. Glad you like books, that don't make you more informed on what goes on during the GoT show.

[@hzuiel]

@@quor2243 I dont inherently think one is superior to the other but I think the reason for the common notion that the book is usually better is that sometimes thousands of pages but hundreds typically, get crammed down into a very condensed format, losing a lot of backstory, character development and nuance that is lost. It isnt terribly uncommon to see a movie adaptation where they didnt have the greenlight for multiple movies and budget was limited, so they jammed multiple novels into one movie that ends up having more deleted scenes than runtime and many hours of shooting left on the cutting room floor, and many scenes from the book that would be considered crucial, not shot at all. With a novel the only budget is the writers time so often what you get is very refined, they have spent an exhaudtive amount of time writing and rewriting to give you the best version of the story, maybe taking years to come out with it. I am not sure how to explain it exactly, but i also thing there is a big difference in many ways between hollywood writers and everyday writers. They live in a big money fast paced world, again budget is always a concern, its just different and in many ways constrained. You also occasionally have the issue where a work is popular but there isnt much source material so they stretch it, like the hobbit movies. Or a prime example is anime, they are usually based on manga periodicals or graphic novels and often come out at a snails pace and the show will get caught up with its source material and start inserting filler written by some random person with no connection to the original author. Sometimes these issues are addressed well and you get a good movie adaptation.

You clearly haven't read the books..... Their description in the book is much different from their appearance on the show...

[@luna-kr3zc]

My theory: The night king is not some evil, but a position of responsibility. The night king can and was never defeated but instead, everytime he comes south of the wall, a stark has to kill him to become the new night king, leading the dead back north and waiting there until he has served his time and it is his time to pass on the burden to another stark. Now lets assume that brandon stark is the current night king. That would mean that, when finally jon snow kills the night king, he is killing his brother, sacrificing himself to give humanity a few more decades. Since the night king can never be killed, this means that there always have to be some starks left close to the wall to take on the duty-> "There must always be a stark in winterfell" That means that every time the white walkers are "defeated", the starks are just waiting for them to come back. "Winter is coming"

[@luna-kr3zc]

My guess is they are a powerful, destructive tool. Created out of desperation and (understandable) hatred. When the children of the forest created them, there might have not been any control for them, and thus they quickly turned out to be a danger to all living beings. So when the Children of the Forest and mankind joined forces, they created the knight king as a means of controlling them and keeping them in check. So basically, their only purpose is to be a constant threat that must always be kept in check by sacrifice.

Any kind of explanation as to why the white walkers exist and hate humanity and why they travelled south to fight humanity would have RUINED them completely. Do you really want that?

Their whole mystique is that they're clearly very intelligent but their desires and motives are completely foreign and alien and unknowable, they're more like a force of nature than a species. That's what makes them good. Do you seriously want the night king to sit down with tyrionn, sharing a bottle of wine, so he can explain why he hates humans? Their whole thing is that while all the humans on the island are worrying about relatively meaningless things like land and a throne, the white walkers are here to end the world completely.

I think it's important to mention that they always said "A stark must always be in Wiinterfell" and until recently, there always was. Maybe that was the pact they agreed on many years ago... But when Ned was killed and after the red wedding when all but 4 (now 3) died and the Boltons took Winterfell (after Euron tried but failed hard). Maybe this broke the pact/agreement. Maybe this is a reason why Torrhen Stark "The King Who Knelt" decided not to be wiped out by the Targaryens all those years ago because there had to be a Stark in Winterfell to prevent the breaking of the treaty. And If the Nights King was a stark, Torrhen could of known this treaty since the King of the North two succesions back (if i'm remembering correctly) would have known since that's why he defeated his kin. Maybe Ned's dad also knew but didn't tell his sons because of his untimely demise to the Mad King, Just an interesting theory.

The Night King is actually Brandon Stark. We already know that when he is green seeing into the past, he can affect the future in a constant loop (like Hodor). His yelling of Hold the Door in present time caused young Hodor to change and therefore be there when he yells Hold the Door in the future. Therefore, he tried to prevent the White Walkers. First attempt: He went back to King Aerys II (the Mad King) and warged into him to make him use wildfire to burn the White Walkers. However, this future/past warging drove him crazy, like how Hodor became braindead, making him burn King's Landing instead. Second Attempt: He tried to figure out how the First Men defeated the White Walkers, but he arrived late and instead, built the Wall as Bran the Builder (but it still didn't work since the wall was destroyed). Third Attempt: He traveled back to when the Children of the Forest created the Night King, but the children didn't know him at the time, so they captured him and made him into the Night King. As the Three-eyed raven warned before, "it is beautiful beneath the sea, but stay too long and you will drown". This is why the Night King can see Bran in his visions and possibly raise the dead by warging into multiple beings. Because Bran's manipulation of the past is in a cycle, present-day Bran doesn't know the result because he didn't experience it yet. This can explain what he was doing at the Battle of Winterfell. He is shown warging into ravens to see the Night King. When he sees the massive number of wights, he might've attempted these three things when he realized chances for victory are slim. However, little does he know, these attempts just caused him to become the Night King, completing the loop. Also, the Night King (future Bran) kills the old three-eyed raven since he hid the truth from Bran.

Cheap Close Call Clichés that don't create tension, like the fucking retarded showrunners think they do, they erase all tension! That ISN'T GOT!

Its pure fucking pandering! There is no artistic visiom behind this show anymore. Just a bunch of spineless cunts trying to please the "fans" who watch for the battles and don't want their favorites to die. Nothing was answered about the Night King. NOTHING. Turns out he was a second-rate side villain that was evil for the sake of being evil. George R.R. Martin would kill himself before he wrote a character that cliché. He was built up for 9 fucking years! "Death is coming. Our enemy never tires. The Iron Throne doesn't matter, the Night King is coming" - 9 FUCKING YEARS! And he is resolved in ONE episode?! And he doesn't kill anyone at all?! He doesn't even get his sword out?! D&D, you worthless pieces of shit, go to a fucking filmmaking class and learn about Chekov's gun, you dumb motherfuckers. I hope you never work again. And after all that, he is killed by a little girl, who jumped 100 feet, over dozens of undead and White Walkers, and outsmarted an 8000 year old god of Death, despite him having caught her and having plenty of time to snap her neck. But no, the bad guys do nothing in this episode, they are cannon fodder to elevate the heroes further. Are you kidding me?! Do the fucking maggots even know the show they are making?! How did Arya get to the Night King??? Biggest plot hole in the world.

[@itstipacanoeandrileytoo3405]

No it doesn't matter. The writers jerked us around for almost a decade. Any & all discussions, comments, theories etc... we've all had about the Night King were exercises in futility. Why was he even a character? And what's up with the non explanation? Lazy writers? There had better be some REALLY great reason for this or they are assholes. I am so disgusted. Who else feels this way? Is it just me?

[@sirGarald]

I thought it was all pretty straight forward. They said a hundred times he wants darkness, to kill the humans and all life, as was his purpose when he was created by the children of the forest. He was a weapon of the Children that backfired on them. He wanted to kill Bran because he is the magical keeper of human history(the 'Giver' I guess). I'm not sure what more people were expecting. I heard some wild theories but never took any of them too seriously. He was a glorified zombie, whose narrative purpose was to unite the North, Vale, Wildlings, Dani, Dothraki, unsullied and many others. To give Dany real allies in the seven kingdoms who were not previously fond of Targaryens and bring Targaryen rule back onto the table without prolonged bloodshed between everyone in the seven kingdoms. Also the wall, it's magic, and the night king could have been responsible for the screwed up seasons. I'm just glad to be passed this zombie apocalypse to be honest.

[@sirGarald]

@Roger the Space Marine There are no excuses for the 'battle plan.' I don't think it was quite as simple as an obvious trap and hiding in a tree, but what we got was ridiculously awful. That said yes, it also served to weaken Dany's position. She seemed nearly unstoppable before, and now her personal army is shaved down thin and she is down to two injured dragons, and she kind of needs the north to help her get the throne, who again aren't particularly keen to serving a Targaryen.

[@sirGarald]

@Roger the Space Marine Those Whitewalkers and Whites in the courtyard were all 'at ease' at the Night Kings control. Just like earlier in the episode by the flaming moat. Of all of the episodes problems, this one doesn't qualify. It was just how the situation played out. He thought it was checkmate and dropped his guard but she got the drop on him. If we can say she could have just hid in a tree(with no leaves in the winter), then he could have flown down uncontested and torched the tree first. lol Fortunately for DnD, going down to take on Cersei right away as a terrible strategic move is not out of character for Dany or Jon. From what I've seen they are terrible strategic minds. Perhaps the 3eR is unwilling to help her and goes back north of the wall, and/or perhaps she feels overconfident with dragons and 3eR and that is her downfall. Hubris. Dany, like her brother, has little patience. Something like waiting out the Golden Army over the winter is more in Tywin's strategic wheelhouse. Or maybe Cersei does go north with the army because she can't wait. Strike while the iron is hot. They can sail north with the boats they came over on along with Euron's fleet. It's not unthinkable to go in the winter, they could bring plenty of supplies for a campaign that wouldn't be very long, hole up in any of the currently empty castles if need be. Winterfell is in no shape to hold off a siege for any period of time and almost all of Cersei's opposition is in one place. All that said I'm not entirely confident whatever plays out will all be above board either. lol I'll just wait and see and enjoy the ride for what little is left. We'll get some fan service stuff like cleganebowl or whatever and wait for Martin to finish the cannon material.

[@itstipacanoeandrileytoo3405]

@@sirGaraldYou know what? I think you're so right on.

[@sirGarald]

@Roger the Space Marine 1) Bad conjecture is also: She should just have hid in a tree 2) I know the writing hasn't been great. That's not my argument. Characters are allowed to make bad decisions, but it has to be believable. This episode failed at this in many places, Dothraki charge, or having any troops in front of the moat. Not flying up and down the moat line frying them, not firing any arrows or projectiles at targets standing still, almost every main character lived and a lot more probably should have died. My argument is that I didn't need the Night King to be so integral to the show's conclusion. I didn't need anymore crazy time travel 3eR twist. He's the keeper of knowledge. NK wanted him dead. That's it. I'm ok with that. I was never too excited for this storyline as it were. 3) But the Night King story line overall wasn't for nothing on the grand scheme of the saga. Without him the north would have likely wanted to remain sovereign and had to battle Dany at some point. Instead we have an alliance between Dany, North, Vale, and even Jamie Lannister which should be consequential. These are pretty impactful repercussions. The episode was very bad at parts and very clumsy, but we got through it and can all move on now from the Walking Dead. The two episodes leading up to this one were IMO excellent and I want more of that in the next three. 4) She did get the drop on him, but only until he eventually saw her running up to him through the other whitewalker's eyes. Probably when she broke the front line and hit the open area right behind the night king they spotted her. If a whitewalker is standing perfectly still and she silently runs past them from behind there is no way he would be able to react in time, because he wouldn't see her until she was already passed. And how was he supposed to know this little girl had mad skillz like that? sheesh He literally held her for three seconds before she dropped the knife but...you first get his reaction and then hers, but really they happen at the same time. You are literally complaining he didn't finish her in 1.5 seconds. Theon did the Shredder charge and night king had his counter attack planned, with Arya he was startled for a literal second and a half. 5) 3eR helping them would make her even more overconfident to just go and get this over with, even or especially against Tyrion's advice. It's called a character flaw and she has it. Maybe the 3eR doesn't give a crap about who is on the throne, and not want to be involved in it at all. He is not Bran anymore. None of it is that strong but real people have made worse tactical decisions in real life. Like say...umm...Hitler invading Russia? At least she does have two dragons. 6) This is not comparable to an invasion of a country with 170 million people. Scale matters for that comparison. It's literally one massive fort filled with all her enemies with an entire section of wall blown completely out and tens of thousands of bodies lying around. And they can at least sail a good portion of the way there. That would not be crazy or at all out of the question. Stannis' army had been fighting for a long time. They had limited resources, were starving, lost tons of battles, and facing a fully fortified Winterfell. But we both know this will not happen either way. Dany is going to go south. For entertainment reasons they won't do another Winterfell battle so they will just come up with some reason that isn't really good enough. lol 7) I don't think the Arya thing was one of the bad writing areas here, that was the bright spot of the episode for me, that and being denied a Snow/King showdown(especially the scene where he turns around and raises them before snow gets there, DENIED). I'm glad they punted on that, would have been dull IMO. Bonus) it would be great if the seasons go back to normal now that the wall is down and Night King dead.

Here's what GRRM himself says* about the moment Sam stabs an 'Other' with dragonglass: "it works: the spells are shattered and it is melting before him." Not 'dragonglass is like kryptonite to the Others', or even 'it's the one thing that can kill a White Walker'. No, instead, dragonglass apparantly breaks "the spells" that hold a White in it's form. Making them not living creatures at all but artificial facsimiles forged in Ice and Blood. This seems to suggest that Crasters sons were NOT altered or possessed, they did not then grow over decades to become the 'creatures' we know as the Others. The babies lives were taken, their lifeforce used to fuel the spell which animated the large ice-crystal monolith's at the sacrificial site. Instantly producing a fully formed White Walker. From baby to Big Bad in one moment of dark magic. Dragonglass has not yet been explained - it's origins, it's innate magical properties. If it was a vital component in the spells, what effect could a sudden massive overdose - in the form of a stabbing blade or spear made from it - have on the walking crystalline statues we call the Others? *Quote from Sky Atlantic interview, 2017

[@ronandacruz9588]

hgwells allthewayfrom1899 wouldnt dragon glass be (as shown in the series) a component of the spell that created them, but since nature needs balance it too needs something that can kill them, the whole concept of natures balance is wildly shown in shows like the vampire diaries for example, with magic. Its what creates them, it should be what kills them...like in the Originals, white oak created them, it kills them too....okay im rambling on with references but is just hit me, what if the secret remedy to valyrian steel is that its imbued with dragon glass, is why they havent been reproduced since old valyria when there were still dragons hence the shortage of them, holy fuck lmao

In some fantasy settings, obsidian (very similar to dragonglass, if not obsidian itself), has anti-magic/magic weakening properties. It might back up the claim of Others being artificial beings.

End Game + Septan It's said we ourselves are (apparantly) 60% water - but we drown easily enough. We also (Google tells me) produce electricity - yet a bolt of lightning usually does the trick. And we allegedly evolved from fish - yet I could still be beaten to death with a wet haddock anytime soon. It could be that the same mineral found in dragonglass is also the precious metal of Valyrian steel. But this doesn't explain why there's a huge cache of it under Dragonstone. I like the Red Comet theory as the origin of it all. Maybe you've heard it? It goes: the same psychically charged comet from book/season 1 was orbiting close to the planet 8000 yrs ago. Planet drifts thru comets tail; meteors ("bleeding stars") hit the ground. One, so large it causes a near extinction level event - the "Long Night" (nuclear winter). The impact crater is a no-go -zone for 3000 yrs. Finally, the Valyrian's move in, naming the ring of volcanic islands the "fourteen fires". Mining, they discover the supernatural, otherworldly elements found nowhere else on the planet: dragonglass; the metal known as Valyrian steel; and fragments of the red crystal rock, of the sort that Melisandre wears around her neck. All of it the residue of the comets tail. All of it having properties some call "magic", enhancing psychic powers etc. And all of it the root source of the magic 'n monsters, sword 'n sorcery mayhem in the first place. Now whose rambling? Lol : ) It's possible dragonglass is something else altogether. But coincidentally, I see from googling that minerals, and even metals, actually have a crystalline structure...similar to ice 🤔

[@hgwells1899]

Septan I'm sure its been called obsidian also, book or show. Anti magic properties? If this is why it breaks the spell of Ice in human(ish) form, I wonder how it might affect Dany's dragons also? Could this be why it was horded under Dragonstone during the Targaryen dynasty? To protect those magical "fire made flesh" creatures?

[@ronandacruz9588]

hgwells allthewayfrom1899 yeah I think I remember Jon or Sam or Edd or someone calling it obsidian when they found it at the cradle of the first men or something, and then adding that it's also called dragon glass, I think lol, I'm not too certain on the particulars of the show - but that theory sounds interesting, a bit far fetched, but interesting I still think that the reason valyrian steel has a component of dragon glass in it, that hit me when Sam in S7 Ep1 said that the Targaryans used dragon glass to decorate their weapons not even knowing what it was used for, not too far from it being fused with the steel itself as for the mountain of the DG at dragon stone, I thought DG itself was made by dragons? it is after all the home of the Targaryans, very possible they used their dragons to form it , or was a byproduct of the dragons just fuckin around lmao

[@MMaRsu]

RR Martin told the writers of the show the general direction he was going for. So uhh why dont you just wait for your precious books lulz. The NK all he wants is death. How can anyone else think differently lol.

[@Labyriiint]

This was the direction GRRM wanted though? Altough some event would obviously have been different but the White walkers have always been the biggest threat in the show. The show would definitely be better if he had finished the books and was more involved in the latest seasons though which is a shame.

The walkers seem to have lost there queen, and female line forcing them use craster to survive. As there are no stark women from nobel lines there, they are forced to go beyond the wall. The bitter sweet will be John giving Sansa to the Nk for marriage to secure a new peace.

[@camcom1150]

The show will make it good VS evil. The book will be a grey area. They skipped the fake aegon/blackfyre/mummers dragon and lots of grey themes. They just show the nights king and cersei as evil/mad. It's a shame how its slowly devolved from a morally complex show into a black and white good vs evil story. But I still enjoy the show greatly.

[@TheJMilea]

Camcom it hasn't though.................

[@cem4376]

well cersei still has jaime on her side and he is not considerd evil

[@TheJMilea]

I mean to say, they have written and played the characters well enough that their actions are logical and make sense. Cersie isn't evil, she is just the way she is now. She used to be evil just for fun but now it's easy to see that she is doing what she must for her goal to be accomplished. The white walkers are the same. We don't know anything about them except that they kill people to create their army, not knowing their motive or anything. Their motive could be to kill all humans, but isn't that humans' goal for them? Do I want Jon Snow to win? Sure, but not because I think that the white walkers and Cersie are evil forces.. it's because I like Jon Snow and he seems like a person who would do more good that Cersie can and I don't want him to die again so there goes me rooting for the knight king.

[@m.c.martin]

Camcom Actually, War is usually Black and White, so I think they're doing a pretty good job of displaying it

[@MeAndSomeRandoms]

[@danielstudart2062]

Goddamn, sooo much potential washed down the drain. There should've been a whole season or at the minimum 4 episodes dedicated purely for the White Walkers, explaining their reasons, morals, proper origins, etc.

[@cassavaman3784]

If the showed had not gone south at the last season, could watch 100 seasons easily.

[@cassavaman3784]

Show

[@LuvFearlessly]

I don’t really think of them as being truly conscious or autonomous (at least the show version. Currently reading the books). I got the impression they were meant to protect against humans and simply worked too well. I don’t think they have morals or thoughts, just a mission they were made for. But maybe it’s easy to feel that way when they don’t speak at all in the show (or just screech).

[@aaronheaslip4926]

Bowen Liu no, he was not actually rowing for three seasons

[@bowenliu807]

I mean I think I saw similar replies on Reddit. But what is this referring to haha?

[@mostafaelbakry9821]

One weakness regarding this theory: if WW decide they should rise again in response to Dany's dragons birth (which in fact happened across the world and were babies at the time), why didn't they rise when Aegon attacked their land "westeros" with 3 fully grown fully trained for war mighty dragons? Not to mention the following 200 years when the Targaryeans had more and more dragons. How possibly could 3 baby dragons in the other side of the world be more of a threat than fully grown ones on their own lands??

[@kaesarslaanestis4524]

In my personal opinion it's because the WW themselves have been building up a giant ass army ready to face the invading draconic force only to be surprised that nobody remembered them and laying off their weapons, but now with Jon running around westeros screaming that they exist, making weapons that kill them permanently, they are now forced to truly fight for their lives

[@tomc.5704]

Well Jon's only running around screaming because he saw their army and knows it's bearing down on Westeros. If the White Walker's goal was to live peacefully in the far north, they could've just done that. Another millennia and they would have been completely forgotten. And if White Walkers are afraid of dragons--as you said, they've seen dragons invade and then die out before. The obvious answer is to wait it out again. No one is going to invade the far north. There's nothing there but cold, ice, and fairy tales.

[@tannerman46]

I'm guessing that, if the theory is true, there is something special about Danaerys. Either that or they were shocked initially by Aegon and spent the last 200 years preparing for the war

[@K7L3official]

or that's all bullshit, and they are just evil created by magic.

[@MrKoen33333]

Weapons that kill the permanently? I swear that i've seen the same WW die atleast 4 times but perhaps dragon glass and valyrian steel only kills white walkers for a time i think if aslong as the nightking lives it doesn't matter, those walkers will always return

One theory suggested that the white walkers were the guardians of this world. And if human kind grew to violent, to horrible, they would clense the world. I guess we just have to lean back and wait for the next season

[@rpscorp9457]

Theres no theory...The Forest Children made them to fight there battle with the First Men...Well...they proved SUPER EFFECTIVE and, like the Shoggoths, rebelled and threw down there masters.

[@briankim7581]

Too*

[@emmamoon4319]

Exactly. Everyone ignores the fact that what they are trying to save is a horrible society that lives under horrible circumstances. Savage and primitive. The white walkers and the Knight king obey something bigger than them

[@tjjordan4207]

But what's different from now to what has happened in the past? Aegon's Conquest of Westeros, Robert's Rebellion, The Red Wedding, and so on. There have been more terrible, violent times than in the present-book-days. I don't think the White Walkers are that, because they themselves would be no different if they came to kill most of humanity. If they took out those who were too violent and horrible, then I would believe it. But they've killed people who were just ordinary and not that bad. No, I think the White Walkers are something else.

[@EvelynGonzalez-bn2ov]

TJ Jordan then why didn't they kill Sam?

[@mixey01]

My theory is that The White Walkers are just part of the cycle of Life & Death in the GOT universe controlled by the Fire and Ice Gods. Every XX years when kingdom's south of the wall are on the brink of destruction, they are forced to unite to fight a common enemy and restoring humanity

[@2Li551]

Mixey nice theory. 👌

[@leviandchris]

What if the WW are just trying to do what the children of the forest wanted them to do. Fight the men that can from the south. What if after all this time they are just trying to do what the children created them to do?

[@yigit181]

Mixey didnt we already saw chieldren of forest created them to fight humans ?

[@mixey01]

@Yiğit Doğan yes but they might have been influenced by the Old and or New Gods as well

This theory is way better then what happened hope the next series is a lot better and ends much better as well

[@GhostHandGamer]

I was so excited when Jon fell into the frozen lake. I wanted him to be taken prisoner by the Night King and begin learning of the White Walker's motivations. I was disappointed when they did Deus Ex Benjin instead.

Hold the army of the dead at the neck. Pile trees up to form a barrier, when they attack light the barrier on fire. Use catapults to launch wildfire into the army and fire arrows. Have scorpions back up daenarys against undead rheagal and your good gg night king.

[@edwardverschraegen3792]

book lore vs show

[@jblack5728]

I thought of that (haven't read the books), but then there would be big errors. Because a lot of the history in the show is the same as what he was saying. Basically all of it besides the origin of the white walkers. Seems strange to change only that one thing for the show and make everything else right and do that wrong. Weird.
