Anything for shock value, eh?

Oh and I'm pretty sure it's true. Just found an old thread on free folk reddit and the guy already predicted stuff like Ramsay stabbing Roose 3 weeks ago + it adds up with what we know so far. Bah.

The thing about the Umbers, that was well known a long time ago revealed by WotW so he could've just followed that information. On the other hand, that is a lot of detail to be fake and looks very believable.

That battle is going to be awesome, they spent MONTHS filming it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/freefolk/comments/4eboyl/who_else_here_lost_their_hype/ in the 2nd comment you have basically the same content and it says Ramsay kills Roose and the post was last edited 3 weeks ago.. (just because that wasn't mentioned in the link from bc, apart from that the picture was exactly what I meant).

I think it's possible to make very good predictions if you watch the trailers and think a bit about it but it's really building up for it aswell so yeah. Pretty confidend this will happen.

People find Ramsay entertaining but yeah, I loathe his character because the plot armor is ridiculous. Shite character. Also read those 'leaks' you were mentioning

:facepalm:

I'm sure the battle at winterfell will be a spectacle but nah man, nah.

by zigra Tue 3 May - 18:51:49

To be fair he's not the only one with unreal plot armor. Especially saint Tyrion comes to mind, though he has it in the books aswell.
Anyway I don't like him because he's way too one-dimensional. Very underwhelming that he's most likely the main villain of season 6 - they should have given that role to Roose though he probably wouldn't lose hmm

by RealGunner Tue 3 May - 20:11:41

Tyrion is most likely going to turn out to be a targaryen now IMO. Will definitely ride one of the dragons.

With Ramsay, I love the actor and his acting but he is getting way OP as a character.

by zigra Tue 3 May - 20:27:53

Meh, I really hope he won't survive WoW and won't become a dragon rider.
Too obvious that he's the writers favourite (or one of them) and that one should always be killed of asap. Making him a dragon rider would be too much (only acceptable if he dies very soon after he becomes one)

by RealGunner Tue 3 May - 20:33:08

Think most POV characters will survive honestly. If GRRM is going to write A Dream Of Spring and potentially another book then he can't do it with just 3-4 characters. Can't see him introduce more either at this point

by BarrileteCosmico Tue 3 May - 20:40:12

It would ruin Trion's arc to be a Targ, but I agree he is setting himself up to be a rider

by zigra Tue 3 May - 20:43:10

I think he even said that he won't introduce new pov characters but I'm pretty sure he will kill some of them. As Dany will eventually return we'll have Dany, Tyrion, Baristan and Victarion (though he's a goner for me) all in the same place and likely on the same side. And of course not-dead Quentyn What a Face

But yeah I can't say I expect him to die in WoW, I just hope he does.

by M99 Tue 3 May - 21:23:09

They are just giving unreal plot armor and plot armies to Ramsay to have a worldwide fistpump moment when Jon kills him. Sometimes the show gets generic and cliche beyond belief when they are not directly adapting GRRM's work.

Can't help but think if GRRM did not write the Red Wedding yet the show would do something like Robb killing Joffrey.

Nah, Robb maimed Joffrey in a battle (cut of his hand) but then Jaime and Tyrion kills him. Tyrion then sacks and burns Winterfell.

That was his first draft???
