Poses
Jon's pose is similar to Ned Stark's on the throne
If you look closely, Jon's pose on the throne is strikingly similar to his father (now revealed as his uncle) Ned Stark. On the other hand, Theon's expression looks glum and confusing, something fans would probably feel too if he actually gets the throne. Meanwhile, Jamie looks utterly depressed and we can't help but wonder if HBO is throwing us hints.
Reactions
Netizens connecting hidden dots; retweeting their favorite characters' posters
Meanwhile, netizens had a lot to say about these pictures with many trying to connect hidden dots (if there are any). One netizen posted pictures of Bran and the Night King side by side trying to prove the well-known fan theory of 'Bran is the Night King'. Also, many users have been retweeting their favorite characters' posters, including those of Arya and Tyrion.
'Shock'
Final season will have 'shocking' chapters, revealed Emilia Clarke
Recently, in an interview, Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen, promised "shocking" chapters in the ultimate season. "Shock. I just think there's going to be a lot of, it's going to be huge, that much everyone needs to know," Clarke said. The Season 8 of the fantasy series is set to hit the screens on April 14 and the details are kept under wraps.
