'Game Of Thrones' Finale May Have Secret Nod To Popular Bran Theory

'Game Of Thrones' Finale May Have Secret Nod To Popular Bran Theory

Warning! Spoilers below for “Game of Thrones” Season 7!

The Season 7 finale of “Game of Thrones” dropped some “Bran-knew” information on us with that Jon Snow reveal and a shocking death. But did it also secretly provide evidence to a popular fan theory?

Throughout the season, one of the theories gaining a lot of support was that Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) could secretly be the Night King.

With the discovery that Bran could time travel and perhaps influence the past in Season 6, fans pointed out that it’s possible he could eventually become the Night King, maybe by accident in the past.

Evidence includes similar-looking outfits worn by both Bran and the Night King, as well as some thinking the pair have similar abilities ― with the Night King being able to notice Bran while he’s in visions and possibly using his all-seeing powers to pre-plan the wight attack at the frozen lake in Season 7, Episode 6.

Now, some are saying the “Game of Thrones” finale dropped more proof on us.

After the Wall falls and the dead go walking through to Westeros, Redditor sannybop points out that it looks like the army forms the shape of the Stark direwolf sigil, possibly hinting that Bran is the Night King or that there is some connection between the White Walkers and the Starks.

Whoa. Howl did we miss this?

Here’s the sigil to compare.
