I still don’t get the Bran and Rickon/Princes in the Tower parallel. The whole point with the Princes is that no one really knows what happened, they just vanished. In Westeros, as far as anyone knows, Bran and Rickon’s fate is known. They were murdered by Theon. While the assumption was and is that the Princes were murdered, the mystery still lingers in the question of who really did it.

The much closer parallel is with Sansa and Arya – the Stark daughters who vanished into thin air to fates unknown. Most people think Arya is dead, and theories about Sansa are as wild as some about the Princes once were.

The Princes kept reappearing after their deaths, tho…
