I wonder if GRRM has weighed in on this Raganrok theory.

If I had to guess he may have drawn some things from it, just as he drew some things from the War of the Roses, from the black dinner, from the beggar king, etc.

But I don't see him doing a full blown re-telling of Raganrok, just as he didn't do a full blown retelling of any of those.

Agreed. It would be highly out of character for Jon to become a Mel drone and go against everything he stood for. I believe he will be the uniting force, not the dividing force, of Westeros. He's not going to become Uncat . Many of those parallels to mythology are spot on, and some are pure Martin. I doubt he's going to copy and paste mythology and not be original.

Yeah, he has definitely borrowed parts from history and possibly mythology...but like you I think (hope) that he won't steal the entire story of Ragnarok. It would be pretty disappointing if he did.
