And yet you offer no evidence that it is not supported by “the text.” In any case, it makes perfect sense to most people who don’t have some kind of hate-on for the show. Rhaegar’s son Aegon was killed and Lyanna wanted to name her son after him.

We saw that the first White Walker was created by the Children of the Forest stabbing dragonglass into the heart of a man. Dragonglass is made from dragonfire, meaning that it has magical properties. Therefore, using dragonfire to bring down the wall makes perfect logical sense.  

“Ancient spells were carved into its foundations. Strong magic to protect men from what lies beyond. And while it stands, the dead cannot pass.”

Except that he wasn’t alive. Check the timeline. It’s more than a day or two from King’s Landing to the Tower of Joy. Lynna already knew what happened to Rhaegar’s other kids.

You mean a dead son named Aegon, right? Nothing dumb about it.

Uh, they were brothers and all Targaryens are blonde.

Not an ice dragon. They are a different species altogether and made entirely of ice that breathes cold. Viserion is a zombie dragon that breathes fire -albeit, it’s now blue-flamed.

First, the wall is 700 feet tall. Second, the wall was built over centuries.

Beric and Tormund did not die. They were on the section of the wall that did not collapse.

Benjen Stark to Bran in Season 6: “Ancient spells were carved into its foundations. Strong magic to protect men from what lies beyond. And while it stands, the dead cannot pass.”

Except it’s not ice; It’s fire. Viserion is a zombie dragon, not an ice dragon.

It’s fire, not ice. And also since Viserion is a dragon, it’s magical fire.

Seriously? George Foreman named all of his 5 boys George. In any case, naming a newly born son after one that had been killed is not dumb.

No, it was playing to Littlefinger. Sorry you don’t get that, but then based on your other points... not surprised.

A) Because they were dealing with Littlefinger. This is a man who had played everyone against everyone else so he could rise - The “chaos is a ladder” dude. He was going to see through anything less than what they did. That’s why he was caught off guard there at the end.

I had the opposite reaction to pretty much everything.

Good thing Viserion is not an ice dragon.

They would have made it past the wall. It just would have taken them longer.

Viserion is not an ice dragon. He is a zombie dragon. Ice dragons are a different species made entirely of ice and are larger then Valyrian dragons and have breaths of cold.

Why do you think Tormund is dead? He and Beric were not on the part of the wall that collapsed. They can make it back to Castle Black.
