(muscle is heavier than fat). I lost it>After tonight's episode, I think the fate of Gendry is pretty clear.
Now that The Hound is back, Gendry will obviously return. But he has been rowing a boat for a few seasons, so the guy is gonna be pretty jacked and his biceps will be HUGE. This much is known. Well, Arya needs help and she needs a way back to Westeros. The random dude she threw gold at will obviously not help her. Obviously Gendry will row her back to Westeros! People reuniting with each other has been an important theme of this season. As a result, it makes sense that Arya will reunite with Gendry. Now onto the Big Picture.
The Seven Kingdoms is pretty beaten up at this point of the story. Only a strong leader with kings-blood will be able to unify the kingdoms, defeat the white walkers, and bring peace to Westeros. Well, Gendry has kings-blood. And he is really strong! After all that rowing, his biceps will be absolutely unparalleled across Westeros and Essos. It follows that there is only one reasonable course of events:
Gendry cleans up The Seven Kingdoms. His biceps are redic. 137% likely stronger than Valyrian steel and we know that Valyrian steel can kill White Walkers. Gendry will defeat The Night King in an arm wrestling match. When The Night King is defeated in said arm wrestling match, he will shatter, as will the rest of the White Walkers.
Shirtless Ramsey is obviously no match for Macho Man Gendry.
Finally, Gendry comes to Kings Landing. This is pretty straightforward. He enters through the front gate shouting, "WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WHEN GENDRY RUNS WILD WIT YOU BROTHER!" The High Sparrow, curious to see who has entered the city, comes out to greet him. Gendry then puts The High Sparrow in a headlock. The High Sparrow, under the intimidation of Gendry's biceps, submits and coughs up the words, "Uncle, Uncle!" It is, unfortunately, too late for the High Sparrow. His skull cracks under the pressure of Gendry's biceps. This parallels Oberyn's death and is in-line with the realism of GoT. The High Sparrow making it out of the headlock is simply too unbelievable.
The last scene of the show is Gendry sitting on the Iron Throne flexing when it crumbles beneath him (muscle is heavier than fat). After all that hard work, The Iron Throne cannot withstand Gendry's newfound strength. This is the bittersweet ending that GRRM has mentioned before.
I appreciate any feedback. I am pretty confident that this will happen, but I admit that the theory is a little rough around the edges. For example, I am unsure what will happen with Cersei and The Blackfish.
In-case anyone wanted a reference point for what Gendry might look like: https://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130811002817/spongebob/images/3/3d/Musclebob_buffpants.png
