Insights from the Game of Thrones S7 Trailer: Unveiling Key Theories and Clues

The juncture between June 21 and the release of the highly anticipated Game of Thrones S7 trailer on that day marked a significant moment for fans, delivering not only a taste of what was to come but also leaving behind a series of intriguing theories.

Theory: Stark Legacy and Direwolf Symbolism

What are your takeaways from the Game of Thrones S7 trailer released June 21, 2017? As a teaser, the trailer certainly did not disclose everything, but it did spark a wave of theories, one of which revolves around the direwolves and their connection to the Starks. This theory is one of the many pieces of evidence supporting the idea that direwolves and Starks share a deeper, interconnected fate.

It is no secret that direwolves have often experienced or witnessed the same events as their "Stark" counterparts. Grey Wind was shot with an arrow, an incident that tragically mirrored Robb Stark's fate. Shaggydog's name symbolizes a life filled with purposelessness, which seems eerily similar to Rickon's destiny. Similar to Lady, Nymeria was falsely blamed for something she did not do, while Lady died protecting her sister. This pattern raises the intriguing theory that Sansa could be bound to suffer a similar fate, protecting Arya or even betraying her family.

These theories suggest a dark destiny and a deep connection between the Starks and their direwolves. Could Littlefinger be involved in manipulating events to cause this conflict? He does have a penchant for striking when he sees an opening, and a showdown between Sansa and Littlefinger might be in the cards. Furthermore, it is possible that Sayna may be destined to either protect Arya or betray her family, further complicating the already complex plot of S7.

Old Grounds and New Predictions: The Role of the Mountain

Another sharp observation from a Reddit user, (RKRagan), points to a significant symbol in the trailer. It mentions the direwolves being swarmed near a mountain, which appears to be the very same mountain where Bran witnessed the creation of the Night King in season 6, a site associated with the children of the forest.

This is also the mountain that The Hound saw in a vision earlier in season 7, and Sam found dragonglass on an ancient ground. These interconnected events hint at the potential significance of the mountain in the upcoming episodes.

The stark contrast in the weather and landscape depicted in the trailer further supports the long-running fan theory that the White Walkers brought winter to Westeros. This theory is substantiated by the GIF from Game of Thrones season 5, episode 8 - HARDHOME, which shows the presence of a White Walker causing the fire to die down.

The evidence from the trailer and seasons 6 7 supports the idea that the Night King's birthplace and the White Walkers' activities are central to the upcoming storyline. This hints at a climactic confrontation involving the creation of the Night King and the White Walkers' influence on Westeros.

Continuing to follow the mountain and related events may provide further insights into these theories and clue one into the story's progression.

Conclusion: A Prevailing Web of Intrigue

While chasing down theories and analyzing the trailer, it becomes evident that the upcoming season of Game of Thrones is filled with intricate web-workings and deep-rooted connections. Fans can look forward to further developments and twists as the story unfolds, adding an even more compelling layer of mystery to the narrative.

Whether the direwolves will come to a tragic end, Sansa will be forced to protect Arya or betray her family, or the White Walkers' influence on the weather continues to unfold, one thing is certain: Game of Thrones S7 is set to be a thrilling and unpredictable season.

Follow the clues and get ready for a season that continues to captivate and intrigue!
