Game Of Thrones Season 6: 6 Crazy Fan Theories About Bran Stark

1. He Is The Lord Of Light

While Bran having some significant influence has been mentioned throughout all of the theories, this one takes it to the most extreme point, and suggests that he is actually a God.

Although there are a couple of variations of it, the salient points a pretty much as follows: Bran is R'hllor, and it's he who communicates with Melisandre through the flames, and the voices Varys hears in the fire (something Kinvara reminded him about in this episode). He is responsible for the creation of the Red Priests and Priestesses, and the reason is for them to spread the word of the Lord of Light, and save Westeros from the White Walkers (it has been theorised that they are the weapons of the Great Other, and that the two Gods want to defeat each other).

I mean... sure? It's a pretty crazy theory, and while it's a reasonably fair assumption that Bran might have been heard by other characters through visions or flames or whatever else, it's an incredible leap from there to him being an ACTUAL GOD.
