'Game of Thrones' Theory Might Explain Why Tyrion Looks So Concerned in Trailer

Game of Thrones is certainly under pressure to make the final season the best one yet. Between many unanswered questions we’ve had since the start of the series that need answers, a highly-anticipated battle, and a handful of confrontations we know our favorite characters must have, fans are expecting the eighth season to blow everyone away. And the first full-length trailer only added to that hype, with fans now coming up with countless theories revolving around what we saw in the two-minute video.

One aspect fans have been focusing on is Tyrion Lannister. While he’s barely in the trailer at all, the few seconds where he is featured are extremely telling. He looks very concerned, staring up at something. Of course, many are now speculating what that something could be. Huffington Post poses an interesting theory, one with enough evidence that it might just be true. Tyrion could very well be watching Jon Snow ride a dragon.

Fans have been speculating Jon would be riding a dragon since last season, with many believing he’s ready to in one of the scenes in the new trailer. But why should we be so sure Tyrion is looking at this? Well, HuffPost points out something very important. In a poster for Season 5 and the trailer for Season 7, Tyrion is looking up at a dragon. And in the trailer for Season 6, he’s shown about to unchain Dany’s dragons. The GoT promos clearly love to pair together Tyrion and at least one of these creatures, so it wouldn’t be surprising if it was the same for the final season.

On top of that, the last time we saw Tyrion, he was looking equally as distressed after discovering Jon and Daenerys having sex. Keeping with this theme, it’s easy to believe he’s again looking at one of them, if not both, in the scene in question. This love triangle of sorts will no doubt be important in the upcoming episodes.

This might just be the most convincing theory to come out of the new trailer. Game of Thrones returns for the last time on April 14.
