Game Of Thrones
DidGame of Thronescomplete Melisandre ’s prophecy about Arya kill someone with fleeceable eyes ? Even though the HBO show ’s ending wrapped up most of its big ideas , fans are still debate many detail , especially when it comes to prophecies . Game of Throneswas a serial that was packed with prophecy , visions , dream and , while some were very distinctly fulfil , others were rushed through or seemed to be forgotten about by the remainder . But while some contend that this was just bad authorship ( one of the biggestcomplaints aboutGame ofThrones ' final season ) , there are ways to make most fit .
Back inGame of Thronesseason 3 , when Melisandre gather Arya for the first time , the Red Priestess told Arya:“I see a wickedness in you , and in that darkness , eyes staring back at me . brownish eyes , blue eyes , dark-green eyes , middle you ’ll shut forever . We will meet again " . This was repeated when they did see each other again at the Battle of Winterfell , with emphasis on the naughty eyes being those of the Night King . But what of the brown and greenish eyes ?

For the brown , Walder Frey is Arya ’s biggest putting to death with that oculus color . As for the green , a favored fan possibility was that this referred tothe destruction of Cersei Lannister , yet not only did Arya not down the Queen , she did n’t stick any other major histrion after the Night King with the pointy closing . However , it ’s potential that the vaticination was referring to a former , still crucial green - eyed kill of hers : Littlefinger .
Melisandre’s Prophecy Might Have Referred To Littlefinger
Arya bolt down Littlefinger in theGame of Thronesseason 7 closing curtain as the culmination of a plot that brought the Stark siblings back together . While some TV audience speculated this was just a faux - out , and that Littlefinger would return for season 8 , it ’s now unmortgaged that he was most definitely deadened . And that ’s good for Melisandre ’s Arya prophecy : in the books , Littlefinger is described as have sullen whisker with some gray in it , and " laughing green - grey eyes , like a true cat . "
Accepting Littlefinger as the " green eyes " onArya ’s killing listmeans change the order of Melisandre ’s divination , from " brown eyes , blasphemous eyes , immature eyes " to " brown oculus , fleeceable eyes , sorry eye , " although not only is there nothing to say that Melisandre was placing a specific timeline on her words , that ’s just the reordering she does during the Battle of Winterfell . devote how dim some ofGame of Thrones ' prognostication are , none of that is much of a stretch .
Of course , in addition to Walder Frey , Littlefinger , and the Night King , Arya belt down mess of people as she slaughter her way of life from King ’s Landing to Essos and back again , and many were not on - screenland long enough to really give aid to their centre color . With that in mind , it ’s utterly potential that the " eyes " Melisandre theory was aGame of Thronesprophecyforetelling Arya ’s journey from a hoyden to a trained bravo – a vaticination that most decidedly came true . The Red Woman ’s words to her at the Battle of Winterfell may have been nothing more than a admonisher of how capable a killer Arya is , which would correspond ( albeit a fiddling less neatly ) .

How The “Green Eyes” Prophecy Theory Creates A Show Plot Hole
Melisandre ’s Arya vaticination finally create a small-scale plot hole inGame of Thrones . Petyr Baelish is played by Aiden Gillen , who really has blue and not green optic . It ’s possible that this is due to the show ’s exhaustion of the book ’s source material in season 5 and the indigence to come up with a proper ending for the fictional character in seasons 6 - 8 . In the book , Arya might also end up killing Littlefinger , who does have green eyes in the novels , thus carry through Melisandre ’s vaticination . It ’s also possible that her words just referred to the fact thatArya would become a lethal assassinwho would kill many people rather than referring to three specific kills , but this seems like a waste of a estimable prophecy puzzler .
That being said , whichever way TV audience interpret Melisandre ’s prophecy , its fulfillment mould better in the books than it does in the series . The biggest consequence with Littlefinger in picky being Arya ’s fleeceable - eyed dupe is that , in theGame of Thronesseries , Aidan Gillen has blue optic . While Gillen ’s smirking , slimy performance is note - perfect , his eye vividness is n’t how the character ’s literary source is described . Given that the show ’s " Prince Who Was forebode " prophecy at last amounted to very little , the showrunners may only be trying to show that political fault affect the class of account more than prophecies by leaving the latter unexplained and unrealised . In the books , however , Littlefinger may want to watch his back when the youngest Stark girl is around – Martin has n’t yet shown how he ’s interpreting these divination . Littlefinger and his tampering ways get their comeuppance in the show no matter .
