Game of Thrones: Why Sam Has to Be the One Who Kills the Night King
Way back in season one of Game of Thrones when Jon Snow first meets Samwell Tarly, Sam says that he's a coward.
However, for the past seven seasons, Sam's been proving that he's far braver than he knows.
And if Reddit user DLun203's Game of Thrones theory is correct, then Jon's best friend may end up being the show's truest hero.DLun203's theory reads: "When King Robert and Ser Barristan Selmy are talking about their first kill, Robert says his first was a Tarly boy who thought he could end the rebellion with a single swing of his sword.
I think there's a chance Sam, the last living Tarly, will use Heartsbane to kill the Night King with a single swing of his sword and bring an end to the Great War." It's a simple but brilliant idea that would make so much sense for Sam's character arc.
