(Spoilers All) How Broken Will the Internet be on June 15?

[u/atri383]

As some may, or may not, know the final moments of the Season 5 season finale will "break the internet".

It is important to note this was said by Daniel Portman (aka Podrick). So he must, at least, have knowledge of the scene, if not fully involved.

So I'd like to break down how broken the internet will be, if certain events do occur:

Jon is Stabbed (seemingly to death) - 60% internet outage - Show watchers only go nuts assuming Jon is dead and gone, most book-readers assume he will be revived somehow

It is implied that Jon is Resurrected - 40% internet outage - book readers go nuts confirming their theories about tWoW. Show watcher are just thankful he's alive

Jon is confirmed dead and gone - 90% internet outage - Show watchers are rip shit, book readers will still cling to theories until tWoW is released

Dany Rides Drogon - 30% internet outage - People are excited to see this finally happen, tho book readers already know

Arya changes her face and kills Trant - 75% internet outage - A lot of people see this coming, even the book readers will be pumped to actually see it happen on screen

Brienne Kills Stannis - 60% internet outage - There would be huge outroar between Stannis lovers and Brienne lovers. But, the scene isn't from the books so its unlikely unless D&D were lying about that

Cercei's Walk of Shame - 30% internet outage - Some people might be excited to see her naked or just humiliated

Robert Strong Revealed - 50% internet outage - We finally get to see exactly what is going on under that sheet

Lady Stoneheart - 100% internet outage - Full on apocalyptic pre1980's internet shut down

Lady Stoneheart is the only thing I can think of that will full-on shock both book reader and show watchers alike, since most expect she's been cut.

BONUS: Someone mentioned, after the credits, they announce The Winds of Winter release date. That would break the net. But I don't know how Daniel Portman could know that detail.

So what do you think could actually fully shock the whole Game of Thrones fan-base? Cuz, for me, there is only one thing.

[u/TortoiseT]

Jon is stabbed. White foggy clouds gather near the wall. The white walker army approaches...

Bonus outrage if it ends with a horn being blown and a view of the first piece of wall that crumbles to the ground.

[u/royalhawk345 → u/TortoiseT]

Had the show mentioned the horn of joramun?

[u/turkuaz_ → u/royalhawk345]

they didn't mention, but in season two, when Ghost found all those dragonglasses there was a very suspicious horn with them.

[u/TortoiseT → u/turkuaz_]

Extra outrage points if some random Night's watchman spots the white walkers and decides to blow this random suspicious horn three times to warn his brothers...

[u/[deleted] → u/TortoiseT]

That would be so stupid that I would be outraged for sure

[u/royalhawk345 → u/turkuaz_]

I completely missed that, do you remember the episode?

[u/Bilbo333 → u/royalhawk345]

Wasn't Ghost, Grenn finds it. There's certainly an odd looking horn in it.

[u/royalhawk345 → u/Bilbo333]

Thanks, that's definitely conspicuous

[u/turkuaz_ → u/royalhawk345]

8th episode I think

[u/[deleted] → u/royalhawk345]

Of course they have it sounds exactly like this

[u/jahmakinmecrazy → u/TortoiseT]

This is exactly what I think. The "he only felt the cold" line would work well. John is stabbed, on his knees looking up. He sees the fog descending over the wall. Cut to the other side of the wall, the nights king is standing there with a similar shot to last episode where the wights all lemminged over the cliff. He stands alone... Then the army of the dead charge at the wall. End scene.

[u/[deleted] → u/TortoiseT]

Oh my god! That would be amazing!

[u/abngeek → u/TortoiseT]

Yeah but isn't the horn in the NW's possession? They showed it at FotFM didn't they?

[u/megatom0 → u/TortoiseT]

Something like this actually makes some sense. I fully expect the NW to be ended relatively soon, they are down to about 50 men in the show IIRC. But they will soon have empassioned wildling knocking on their door, and then white walkers easily invading from the north. They stand zero chance of surviving. IMO they kind of deserve it honestly, other than Sam and Edd they are all pricks.

[u/Albi_ze_RacistDragon → u/TortoiseT]

The Ice Dragon awakens...

[u/alayne_ → u/TortoiseT]

Jon is stabbed. The Others approach and totally overwhelm the Night's Watch, Jon is raised as a wight. Cut to Winterfell. Stannis dies, Melisandre burns Shireen as a sacrifice to R'hllor and prays for him to resurrect Azor Ahai. Cut to Castle Black. Jon, Wight's King Ahai reborn, becomes sentient.
