Game of Thrones Eighth Season: Plot, Spoilers, and Hoax around the "Merged" Script

The popularity of the fantasy series Game of Thrones is at its peak. The project received several “most” differences in recent years. The highest grossing, large-scale, expensive and popular in the segment - all these are well-deserved epithets of the painting based on the George Martin cycle “Song of Ice and Fire”. Fans with awe await the release on the screen of the final, eighth season of the epic. But the most impatient ones have already managed to get to know the script better. On the eve of the premiere of each of the seasons, a “merged” document appears on the Web describing the events of the upcoming milestone in the development of the saga. This time everything happened a little faster, immediately after the completion of the story of the 7th season.

It is not known exactly who exactly became the primary source of the script. According to one version, the document first appeared on the Reddit portal, according to another version - on one of the forums dedicated to the project. The plot of the eighth season of "Game of Thrones", of course, has become the center of attention of all users who are not even interested in the picture like fans and most ardent fans. Throughout the series of the 7th milestone, the audience’s epics prepared for the finale, in which all the lines of the characters converge, which, of course, fueled interest.

Information Reliability

There is currently no specific opinion as to whether the script is genuine. The authors of the series - the company HBO - refrains from any statements about this. Like the writer, whose work formed the basis of the project, George Martin. Users believe that the distributor’s passivity is dictated by fears of a public backlash in the form of a flash of interest while denying the veracity of the information. On the other hand, before the events preceding the plot of the eighth season of the “Game of Thrones”, there were also “leaks”, both true and false.

Theory of fans regarding the script

There are three theories regarding whether the merged plot of the eighth season of Game of Thrones is a duck or a real distributor oversight. The first is that HBO deliberately released a certain piece of truthful information in order to warm up the hype in anticipation of the release of a new milestone in the development of the story. In favor of this conjecture, the fact that the script was ready by the time the 7th season was released, according to some reports, in February 2017. The second theory revolves around "fan fiction", that is, fan guesses. Given that the series finale is already predictable, certain guesses may be true, because on the eve of such a global premiere, the company will not weave plot twists into the main line. The third theory speaks of an independent source within the company.

Common features

Depending on the version of the publication, the plot of the eighth season of Game of Thrones also varies. This is due to refinement of the main project. However, some features remain similar. So, for example, in most variations Daenerys dies, and the army of the dead falls before the onslaught of the combined army. Bran, who, according to one of the most popular theories, is the King of the night, sees his fate and closes the cycle of eternal confrontation, thereby starting the story in a new way. In addition, Cersei Lannister will nevertheless fall at the hands of Arya Starky, and the throne will be occupied by John Snow (Eigon Targirien), who learned the truth about his origin. The fate of the baby couple remains unknown.

As you can see, the plot of the eighth season of "Game of Thrones" is rather gloomy in relation to a number of protagonists. Another dragon, Reigal, will fall, while Drogo will bear on his back in battle not Daenerys, but Snow. Bran will transfer his mind to the body of the dragon, because of which he will feel severe pain when he is defeated. The Lords of the Valley and North will lose most of the army in this clash, some factions will lose even their masters. Largely due to the fact that part of the Great Houses of Westeros will be involved in their own game. So, most of the adherents of the King of the Iron Islands “Raven Eye” will leave with him, but not home, but to Bravos, where Cersei is interested in hiring the “Golden Swords”. The latter will play their role as deus ex machina, as a result of which the battle for the iron throne will be won even before the start of a large-scale battle. The fate of the King of the night remains unknown.

First episode

The plot of the beginning of the eighth season of Game of Thrones is recognized even by critics of the authenticity of the merged script. According to published facts, in the first series, the Black Castle will die, as will most of the sentinels. John Snow finds out that the invasion of the dead has begun, after which he will go to Winterfell, where he plans to give the final battle. Euron returns with an army of “golden swords”, sleeps with Cersei, but will be driven out of barbs towards Jaime. Melisandra meets in the temple of the Lord of the Light with the High Priestess, who requires her to atone for sins by sacrifice. Sam claims that John is the only legitimate claimant to the Iron Throne, but John refuses to believe his friend’s words even after Bran retells his vision.

Second series

In the second series, according to fans, there is a clash of the armies of the North and the Dothraki with the dead. As a result, the Allied armies are defeated and retreat to the Valley. There, Jaime is preparing a defense with a number of other Great Houses. In battle, one of the King of the Night’s lieutenants dies, the allies try to gather forces together. Euron leaves the Royal Harbor and tries to storm the Stormline, which he succeeds in. Yara is still in captivity with her uncle, Theon hurries to her aid.

Final battle

The outcome of the battle depends on the version of the merged scenario. In one of these, John Snow loses his sight and arm, and the King of the night will be defeated thanks to the sacrifice of Daenerys with the help of Bran and Melisandra. According to another version, Daenerys dies during the defense of Dragon Stone, and Varis saves the child, assuring the invaders from the Golden Swords that there was no one left in the castle. Daenerys never got to the North because of her position. Ultimately, as in Daenerys' vision, the Royal Harbor will be destroyed by Tyrion, the dead, or Snow, depending on the version of the publication, and the Iron Throne itself will melt.

The question of what will be in the eighth season of Game of Thrones worries many, since the series has a reserve for the ending with a touch of an epic battle. Whether the leak will be confirmed will be known very soon. As for when the eighth season of Game of Thrones is scheduled to be released, this date is already known - 2019, the second or third quarter.
