[Everything] Varys' Motivations and the Show

So obviously Varys' motivation are a common topic of discussion and I think the video by altshiftx (link provided below) is important for anyone to watch to understand them. I guess theres 3 summed possibilities to Varys motivations. The common idea that many people believe in is that Varys truly just wants a stable realm and believes Daenerys is the key to that, which I guess is what the show will go with. Another is that he's just a Targaryen loyalist which has too many holes because he worked against Rhaegar and may have helped Aerys II fall into madness. And then the detailed theory provided in the video that really explains everything is that he is secretly a Blackfyre supporting his own family's claim.To me, this theory makes the most sense and I believe thats where the books will go. The major problem is that the Young Griff/Aegon storyline is essential to this, and the shows simply don't have the time to create this storyline. Wouldn't it be a bummer if this theory is true about Varys, and isn't included in the shows. It would be the makeup for his entire character, and would explain every move he ever made. Would the show really rob the viewers of that? I'm not really sure what I'm getting at here but I just wanted to hear thoughts/opinions on what everyone thinks is really going on w/ show Varys in comparison with the books. Also predictions on what may happen.
