You already called it stupid, pointless and moronic without checking it out. Maybe something else to add while you’re at it?
I’m glad you were paying full attention to the show so you know all about the details I’ve missed ( and obviously everyone on youtube comment section) on that episode without even knowing what I’m talking about haha
I watched it after the first time you said that, but didn't mention it, as the video was worse than I thought it could be. The first minute of a four minute video is just showing horrible shots of Martin saying he likes surprises... Oh, really?
Baelish had a relative from Braavos, therefore he knows how to contact the Faceless men and is able to fool the all-seeing Raven, just so he can show back up later and do what? Additionally, Baelish crying was one of the most uncharacteristic things imaginable for the character, ESPECIALLY if he has a connection to the people this theory claims. In any scenario where it isn't Baleish, it doesn't make sense for the character to cry. I will admit that I missed "your time's up" from the blonde girl, but had that been a faceless man, they'd never be seen taking a payment in a situation like that. Again, it doesn't fit what we know about the characters.
Again, the only reason this theory came to life, is people refusing to accept that LF is dead. People loved him and I understand why, he was an interesting character and he played the treachery game better than anyone else. That being said, everyone who's paid attention knows he never had a chance. The books are called A Song of Ice and Fire for a reason. There's only two ways to look at that, it's entirely about Jon Snow, as he's both, or it's about the connection between Jon and Danny. The bittersweet ending Martin refers to is almost assuredly referencing the deaths of major characters in the final season, with both or at least one of those two dying. My guess would be Tyrion ends up a proxy ruler and he helps raise Danny/Jon's son, until he's old enough to take the throne. He's a benevolent and good king and there's years and years of prosperity blah blah.
As someone said earlier, the plot is becoming more linear/straightforward. There isn't enough time to work in major plot-twists involving dead characters and to close out the major points going on between still breathing charaters. If there were multiple seasons left, I'd at least humor this theory, but as things are, it's impossible and that's why I called it pointless.
e: While the exact price of hiring the Faceless Men is never discussed, it's clearly based on a number of factors, including the wealth of the person who's hiring the Faceless Men, the prominence of the target and the difficulty of the assassination. It's never a single coin that pays for it, unless the person only has one coin.
