With just one episode left for the latest season to end, Game of Thrones fans can’t control their excitement and are busy looking for new theories that could help them predict the end. While gossip mills are buzzing with new plot lines every now and then, one question that is haunting most GOT fans is “who is the Night King, and what does he want?”
Even though people knew that the White Walkers are powerful, the new side of the Night King in the latest episode came as a bolt out of the blue. In Episode 6, as he killed Viserion, the dragon, with his Javelin-style spear throw, the formidable character left most spectators gaping.
People have been spewing angst and hate for the Night King after Daenerys Targaryen lost one of her dragons. In a vengeance move, social media users have been brutally trolling him on Twitter. While some hailed his javelin skills to recommend him for Olympics, others compared him to Baahubali’s Kattappa. Take a look at some tweets here.
Anyone have the Night King’s contact info so we can recruit him to throw javelin? #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/7uUiEDL1xs

Moreover, the last scene, where the White Walkers were seen pulling the dragon with heavy chains has also been scrutinised. People can’t stop wondering where they got those chains from, and have spilled hilarious jokes about it on the social media networking site. Check out some of them here.
Where does the army of the dead get insanely long chains to pull a dragon? Is there a Walmart north of the wall? #GameOfThrones

#GameOfThrones So the White walkers couldn’t cross 10 feet of water but can swim to the bottom and put some huge chains on a dragon?
