Game of Thrones Season 6 Discussion [SPOILERS WITHIN]

[Excited Penguin]

That's funny. You think Tyrion is the more obvious case. That's really funny, given the fact that by this point maybe 2 billion people heard of the fact that Snow is a Targaryen.

Oh, the irony.

Sure they've heard R+L=J because it's the most talked about and agreed upon fan theory. It's still not obvious in the books if you haven't heard of it.

The evidence for Tyrion being a Targaryen is laid out pretty bare in the books. It's almost hokey, he's got one Lannister eye, one Targaryen eye. He has many qualities of the Lannisters, he shares a love for the downtrodden like Dany.

To me, the evidence is too obvious, and having read the books, it seems like the kind of red herring GRRM would put out there to hook you so that when he goes in a different direction, it'll be that much more surprising.

A lot of people knowing about a different fan theory doesn't really have anything to do with it.

There's no point arguing. I personally think they're both Targaryens and, if not both, then Snow is the actual Red Herring, for obvious reasons - it's working.

To be honest it seems to me like you're letting your wishful thinking get the better of you. You basically made my point without reaching the same conclusion above and didn't even notice it.
