Like so many of us, Lupita Nyong'o must have been watching Game of Thrones on Sunday as the army of the dead marched on Winterfell to snuff out the world of the living.
Unlike most of us, however, the actress had very interesting insight into the White Walkers which she shared on Twitter.
In her mind, the White Walkers and the Tethered from her movie Us seemed to walk hand-in-hand.
Coming to think of it, the Tethered (#UsMovie) and the White Walkers (#GameOfThrones) have quite a bit in common: 1… https://t.co/LjSCM6lIZo— Lupita Nyong'o (@Lupita Nyong'o) 1556473763.0
Nyong'o provided lots of similarities between the two ominous figures.
4. They have a signature weapon https://t.co/c6dUO7SrtQ— Lupita Nyong'o (@Lupita Nyong'o) 1556473766.0
5. Their death stare does half the job 6. Their leaders could use some edge tamer https://t.co/htnhdsmAFS— Lupita Nyong'o (@Lupita Nyong'o) 1556473769.0
Perhaps most importantly, they could both be eating a little better!
7. They could all use a drink of water and better dietary options https://t.co/3g3vk33J6Z— Lupita Nyong'o (@Lupita Nyong'o) 1556473773.0
Nyong'o pointed out some differences as well!
Differences: 1.#TheTethered don't send out Save-The-Dates - they make surprise visits— Lupita Nyong'o (@Lupita Nyong'o) 1556473774.0

#WhiteWalkers: About that ice https://t.co/df4qK1xbeu— Lupita Nyong'o (@Lupita Nyong'o) 1556473787.0
The comparison wasn't perfect, but the actress certainly made some good points.

Twitter immediately backed up Lupita's points.

Drawing on her experience as one of the Tethered, Nyong'o even gave us a tantalizing hint at how she thought Game of Thrones might end:
@Lupita_Nyongo No...we can tell you’ve been thinking about this for a long time! But who do you think will eventual… https://t.co/OD4x85jUQe— BBC News Africa (@BBC News Africa) 1556474015.0

Though no one was expecting the White Walkers to be the new Tethered, the pair actually fit together rather nicely.
@Lupita_Nyongo @UsMovie @GameOfThrones And I can't look at adverts for either if it's dark or I might scream so there's that.— ˢᴩᴀⁿᵏᴏ (@ˢᴩᴀⁿᵏᴏ) 1556482574.0

The biggest thing they have in common? I wouldn't want to find myself in a locked room with either of them in a million years.
