How I think Game of Thrones Will End #GOT

After that episode of Game of Thrones, you know the betting odds had to shift. The Night King is gone, but most of the main characters remain. I did find this theory that Jon assisted Arya in some way interesting. I re-watched this scene a few time and I can see what they are arguing about it. It does seem Jon makes eye contact with someone and it does appear he yells GOOOOOOOOOOO. Either Way, Arya was the hero and hit the game winner as time ran out.

Most of the online betting sites update their odds the day after “Battle of Winterfell,” and I always try to determine what they mean for where the show is going. It certainly appears we are headed to Jon Snow sitting on the Iron Throne when the show ends. That facts almost seems too obvious and as GOT fans we are conditioned to believe it actually won’t happen then.

Here are the current odds as to who will rule Westeros at the end of season 8 (Reminder the odds reflect what you would win if you bet $100 on that person)
Jon Snow +135
Bran Stark +450
Daenerys Targaryen +550
Sansa Stark +650
Gendry +750
Tyrion Lannister +850
Jon and Daenerys’ Child +1200
Arya Stark +1400
Cersei Lannister +2000
Petry Baelish +2500
Samwell Tarly +2500
Jaime Lannister +5000
Varys +5000
Davos +7000
Bronn +10000
Euron Greyjoy +10000
Brienne of Tarth +10000
Jaqun H’ghar +100000
Daario Naharis +12500
The Hound +12500
Yara Greyjoy +15000
Tormund Giantsbane +15000
Gilly +100000
The Mountain +1000000

Most of this list we can eliminate right off the bat. They will not be ruling at the end and frankly will probably die pretty soon. I am trimming the list to these possible winners.

Jon Snow +135
Bran Stark +450
Daenerys Targaryen +550
Sansa Stark +650
Gendry +750
Tyrion Lannister +850
Jon and Daenerys’ Child +1200
Arya Stark +1400
Cersei Lannister +2000

Since Bran claims he is not really Bran anymore, he can be removed as well. Cersei is going to die at some point, so it seems she will not rule either. Arya seems to have little to no interest in ruling anything. In Arya’s happy ending she probably ends up with Gendry. So despite him being the rightful Baratheon heir, I am removing him too. The list is trimmed again.

Jon Snow +135
Daenerys Targaryen +550
Sansa Stark +650
Tyrion Lannister +850
Jon and Daenerys’ Child +1200

This is where the fun begins. As I stated above, Jon Snow seems too obvious. Jon has mentioned multiple times he does not care about titles, only survival. Will that change? He gave up being Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch. He gave up being King in the North. Jon seems more than ready to bend the knee or abdicate his throne should he end up as the rightful ruler of Westeros.

Daenerys Targaryen is going to die. This is my hot take. I don’t know who is going to do it or why, but it is going to happen. Danny just can’t be the Queen unless Jon is dead right? Unless they get married. Danny will die at some point, in the last three episodes. Danny being dead means she can’t have a child. Unless there is a time jump she can’t have a child anyway.

And then there were two.
Sansa Stark +650
Tyrion Lannister +850

The scenario I see playing out in the final three episodes goes something like this. The big battle happens in episode five, in this episode we lose lots of people, including Danny and her dragon. We get the Hound and the Mountain battle and the Hound wins. After Danny’s death, our group takes the Iron Throne and Jon Snow renamed Aegon Targaryen is supposed to ascend to be the ruler of Westeros. Jon says, thanks but no thanks. Jon turns to the people he knows how to rule and will do an excellent job uniting the 7 kingdoms. Sansa Stark and Tyrion Lannister agree to co-rule with Jon’s urging. Jon decides to help rebuild the wall in the north and travel the seven kingdoms on his dragon. Brienne is named head of the new king’s guard and protects Sansa and Tyrion. Arya and Gendry move to and rebuild Winterfell with their new friend the Hound. Jaime Lannister heads home to fix the Lannister name and start over. Bronn gets a castle with a lady, just like he always wanted.

Maybe I am crazy, but this what I am thinking is going to happen! Jon just being the new King seems too simple and easy for a show that has been anything but that. What do you think?
