    Text - ti54 543 Kelley Keats @kelleykeats 6h Replying to @Abdullahi_wolf @sploofeek In brief, Azor Ahai is a legendary warrior who ended the Long Night the first time it came around, & followers of the Lord of Light believe he will return to save the world from darkness again. Melisandre believed it was Stannis; by this episode, she knew the prophecy meant Arya.

    Text - ti6 Seo Jose 124 @seojose 6h Maybe the #AzorAhai prophecy will still happen and it might take place on the battle for the Iron Throne. Maybe the war against the Night King was just a misdirection for the fans though I was expecting more from his arc. |

    Text - 178 ti 41 targaryen supremacy V @obvszee 5h and now for the most ludicrous, non-sensical ploy twist. Arya killing the Night King. there is legit no buildup or previous narrative to back this up. I cannot even wrap my head around it. What was the point of Jon and Dany being prophesized as Azor Ahai just to pull this stunt?

    Text - ti 31 Hannah 257 @hpstrawberes 6h Replying to @girrl_friday @scrmgin2thevoid T hate to be that person, but as a book reader it was so unsatisfying. All the prophecy stuff about Azor Ahai and the Lord of Light was much more important to the overall narrative than Cersei. I can't help but wonder where the books were headed with all of it.

    Text - ti 1 81 CASERSATZ @casersatz 4h #GameofThrones So, is Arya the "Prince Who Was Promised"? It'd be a neat nod to the fact that she is often mistaken for a boy. But if Melisandre had a vision of the prince, why did she peg Stannis for Azor Ahai first? Those must've been some vague flames.

    Text - David Stansberry ti 16 82 @DaveStansberry 3h Replying to @Harlack The end was well-choreographed and there were some awesome action scenes, but I can't help but feel like 8 years of Azor Ahai (Prince/Princess who was promised) just got completely thrown out the window.
