Recently, while the Game of Thrones final season premiered in North America this Sunday, the paper revisited the first episode of the first season, which aired eight years ago.

At the beginning of the movie, the Starks of the North family comes to a forest on their way home.

They first see a dead deer. The deer, in turn, is the family crest of the King of the Seven Kingdoms, Robert Baratheon's family

Theon asks: did a lion kill the deer? And the lion, in turn, is the family crest of House Lannister.

The party then moves on and sees another Direwolf carcass. That's right, the Dire Wolf, the very family crest of the Starks themselves.

The Dire Wolf was stabbed in the throat with a deer antler. And later, Ned, the head of the Stark family, died at the hands of Joffrey of House Baratheon. The wolf, killed by a deer.

Awkward Snow proposes that the family adopt the dead direwolf's wolf pups. The five wolf pups were given to each of the five Stark children: the Turnip, the Three Stooges, the Two Maids, Bran, and Rickon. But Awkward Snow himself, as an illegitimate child, would not have to adopt.

Eventually, though, he found a sixth wolf pup, a snow-white direwolf unlike the others.

Rewatching the first episode eight years later, this three-minute segment can be very meaningful: the tragic failures of the Wolf and Deer families, the manipulation of the Lion family behind the scenes...

And most importantly, Awkward Snow's origins - he's a member of the Stark family, but he's different from the others. This is because he still has Targaryen blood running through his body.

All seven seasons of the show have been hinted at in this three-minute scene. Every single one of them has been predetermined by fate.

Prophecy, Prophecy, and Hints

I don't know if you've noticed, but in Game of Thrones, any prophecy or hint will be fulfilled in the future. probability that it will be realized in the future.

Take, for example, the fairy tale of the Mouse Chef, told by Bran in season 3: Legend has it that a chef killed the son of a visiting king and made him into a mince pie for the king. The gods punished the chef by turning him into a rat, who had to eat only his own children for a living all his days. Because he broke a sacred law - a host cannot kill a guest in his own room.

As recently as season 3, Turnip Stark and Caitlin Stark, who were guests in Frey's house, were brutally murdered by Frey. This is best known as the "Scarlet Wedding". The Starks were never the same until season 6, when the kids grew up and became adults.

And Frey got a taste of retribution for killing his own guests: At the beginning of season 7, Erma assassinated Frey's sons and made them into pies to give to Frey first, just like that fairy tale.

Another hint came atop Joffrey's wedding. In the aftermath of the bloody wedding, Old Rose, comforting the Three Stooges, who had lost their mother and brother, said:

"War is war, but killing people at weddings is just too bad, who would do such a thing?"

This is immediately followed by the poisoning of Joffrey at his own wedding by none other than Old Rose.

I'm afraid the most famous of the whole series is the prophecy the witches gave Cersei when she was a child:

"You won't be marrying a prince, you'll be marrying a king"

"You will be a queen (queen). But a younger, more beautiful woman will take your place"

"The king will have 20 children, versus only 3 for you. They will become kings, but will not escape death."

Cersei married Robert and had three children. And at the end of season 7, all the children were dead.

And the younger, more beautiful woman who will replace her in season 8 is supposed to be Daenerys Targaryen.

Everyone's destiny is contrary to their ideals

Tyrion's biggest motivation in previous seasons has been to gain his father's approval.

He's a man with a political vision far beyond his peers, as he learns the art of governing a country that he's ugly enough to read about.

He is the unsung hero of the Battle of Blackwater. In the midst of an entire city without a leader, he was able to calm himself as Prime Minister, and miraculously commanded his army to defeat Stannis's massive fleet with fewer troops.

But in his father's eyes, he's still the freak who killed his wife, the family disgrace he can't take out.

With his sister crowned queen and his brother a Kingsguard, the inheritance of the family castle, Casterly Rock, should belong to Tyrion. But his father made things difficult, accusing Tyrion of murder and buying off Tyrion's lover...

In the end, the dwarf, desperate for his father's recognition, finally reached the end of his tether and pressed the trigger that would have shot his own father to death...

Then there's Snow, who grew up with the idea of a family that would be the most powerful in the land. strong> And then there's Snow, who grew up as that extra kid. Everyone else's big name is Stark, but he's the only one who symbolizes the bastard Snow.

That's why he was put off building a career from a young age, hoping instead to join the Night's Watch as a screw in the group's armies, to be silently forgotten.

However, the invasion of the Night's King and the tragic deaths of his father and brother once again put him at the center of a political struggle. He had no choice but to become Lord of Winterfell and King in the North.

Snow is trying to die. Whether it was during the Battle of the Bastards or the capture of the Wildlings in the North of the Seas, whenever the enemy was at hand, Snow's first instinct was to stand alone against an army of millions and defend his fellow man.

However, even in death, he failed to do so.

And then to speak, there's Jaime.

Throughout the show, Jaime's motivations are also pretty obvious: loyalty, love, & family.

But he gets none of them.

First, there's loyalty. Jaime is a member of the Kingsguard, the equivalent of the King's personal guard. For this position, loyalty obviously comes first.

However, during Robert's war for the throne, then King "Mad King" Aerys ordered the slaughter of the people of King's Landing. Jaime, unable to stand by and watch, kills the Mad King out of concern for the greater good. But afterward, the people called him the Kingslayer, mocking and taunting him for killing their own king.
