What are some of your favorite/most hated theories? (Spoiler

What theories do you like and hope to be true? I personally
like the Aegon Blackfyre, R+L=J, Cleganebowl, Dawn=Lightbringer,
and GNC theories. I despise Daairo=Anybody and Tyrion=Aerys
Son.
I particularly like Aegon Blackfyre and R+L=J because I feel
that they both potentially add a lot to character development,
but what about you?

Theories I Like:
1. R+L=J
2. Parts of the Grand Northern Conspiracy. Some of its
farfetched, but a good amount of it is plausible.
3. Aegon=Blackfyre. Only explanation really.
4. Sansa will bring about PedoFinger's death.
5. Skaagos isn't really full of cannibals.
Theories I Don't Like:
1. Cleganebowl. I get pretty annoyed every time I see this. No
offense.
2. Dumb Tinfoil Theories(Daario=Anyone, Varys a Merman, etc.)
3. Tyrion, Jaime, or Cersei being Targaryens. We already have
enough Secret Targaryens thank you very much.
R+L=J is definitely my favorite theory. One reason I like R+L=J
is because it shows what a standup dude The Ned really was.
Also, I am sure R+L=J won't have the typical 'Hidden Hero'
ending. I think Jon will still associate himself as a Stark and
will become the next King of Winter and make some Wolf Pups with
Val.
The reason I don't like Cleganebowl is pretty straightforward.
Logistically it just doesn't make sense at the moment. Cersei's
trial is going to happen sooner than later, and that would be a
good amount of distance for the Hound/Gravedigger to travel
while injured. Also, the Hound is injured and most likely
wouldn't even put up a fight against UnGregor. Mayhaps it will
happen later in the series, but definitely not at Cersei's
trial.

I love the Jojen Paste theory, I think it's hilarious. I'm 99%
sure it won't happen and the show has essentially already pretty
much proved it to be false, but it's still my favourite.
R+L=J is pretty much confirmed now from all the attention it's
gotten, the hints are all there and there have been interview
questions about it GRR Martin and the showrunners so I'm
thinking it's pretty much a given at this point. It's still a
great theory and I can't wait to see how it gets revealed in the
series, if it even does. I would almost love it if it was never
revealed directly in the books and was just the ultimate red
herring.
I also hate any theory which claims Tyrion, Jaime or Cersei or a
combination of the three are Targaryens as I think it completely
cheapens their characters and would be such a pointless
character development.

A lot of people are in favor of this, but GRRM has confirmed
that Jon will learn his parentage. George has actually given a
few big clues about Jon's parents through interviews. Dan and
Dave met with George long before ADWD came out. So when George
asked who Jon's parents were and Dan and Dave guessed correctly,
it means that we had heard of/seen Jon's mother before ADWD.
This rules out the Fisherman's Daughter from the Davos chapter.

If there is any iteration of this theory that comes to be true,
I think it would be best if Jaime and Cersei are the products of
Aerys imparting First Night rights on Joanna, while Tyrion is
his true heir. It would be ironic that the son he despises the
most is not only the one most like him, but the only true son of
his. Also, it strengthens the possobility of Azor Ahai being
Jaime. Right now there are plenty of people who could be AA,
but it would further strengthen the case for Jaime.

R+L=J is basically canon at this point.
I like:
GNC (I know Yeade and Apple Martini have written about this on
Westeros; easily my favorite framework of ideas)
Manderly sent Osha and Rickon to Skagos and Skagos is going to
rise up for the Starks or at least for Rickon
Lightbringer = The Night's Watch
Richard Lonmouth is Lem (I hate X is really Y but this one is
clever)
Jon as the monomyth hero
Sansa kills Littlefinger
Aegon is a Blackfyre
Dany will end up as a villain, or at least, will become more
antagonistic
Howland married Ashara and Ashara is Meera and Jojen's mother.
Seems bat**** but the iteration I saw was shockingly
well-argued.
I despise:
Anyone but Jon as a secret Targ
Jojen paste
Any Targaryen ubermensch BS
Dany is Azor Ahai, Dany will be queen, etc. Basically Dany can
**** off.
99% of the X is really Y theories. The exception is above.
Bonus:
Skagos is said to have cannibals because the dragon Cannibal
actually ended up there. Because the Skagosi language is
different, a mistranslation caused people to say Skagos had
cannibals, not Cannibal. Tinfoil as hell but amusing.
