10 Bizarre Game of Thrones Theories That’ll Actually Make You LOL

Diehard Game of Thrones fans have eagerly awaited the introduction of Azor Ahai, a mythic figure from the R'hllor faith, who forged the Lightbrighter sword to save the world from the Great Other. In the novels, Melisandre claims "Azor Ahai shall be born again amidst smoke and salt to wake dragons out of stone."
According to a tongue-and-cheek theory by TV Guide, this hero will reveal himself in the form of Hot Pie. Yes, that's right, the husky baker boy Ayra befriends when she escapes King's Landing during the first season. Sure, tons of other names have surfaced, from Sandor Clegane to Davos Seaworth, but who better to be born of smoke and salt than a baker keen on making wolf-shaped bread? Remember, we last see Hot Pie during the second episode of the seventh season — the same instalment where Melisandre explains the prophecy to Daenerys. Coincidence? We think not.
Obviously, this Hot Pie Azor theory only serves to poke fun at our love for predictions, but you have to admit the idea has some sentimental appeal . . . and it certainly made you look. But since Hot Pie's last episode is also the one where Missandei steps forward to clarify that the prophecy could refer to a male or a female, it's a safe bet that Daenerys arises as Azor Ahai since Dragonstone is her birthplace (which is literally the island of smoke and salt). Even still, fans should keep their eyes open for a curveball. Who is to say the Azor returns as a human? Why not an animal like Drogon? After all, he was born in the fire of Drogo's funeral pyre under the rain of his mother's salt-laden tears.
