I just read this theory today, and if it happens then frick GEORGE MARTIN. It scares me bc it reeks of something he would do, take all the characters he spent 5 books making the readers emphathize with, and then make them evil duped drones.

That being said the theory does have a couple of holes. For example it all hinges on Bloodraven being the evil mastermind of the entire Lord of Light religion, manipulating events from afar with his sorcery. So far nothing we've seen him or Bran do even remotely hints at powers of reanimation or being able to produce shadow assassins, both of which we've seen red priests do. I also have trouble believing he'll make a 14 year old crippled boy the main antagonist and threat to the safety of mankind.

Also to make Rhaegar and Lyanna have no bearing on the outcome of the story, along with the whole prophecy of "the dragon has three heads", would just be a giant 5 book red herring. At that point it's not a plot twist its fricking bad storytelling

You know Martin has written other stuff than ASOIAF right? That guy did a bunch of work trying to tie the two things together, but much of that is making pretty wide and vague comparisons between the two. I seriously doubt Martin goes that route.

Martin generally goes for realistic endings in his books and stories, neither really happy nor really sad.
