Who Still Watches Game of Thrones?
So I haven’t always been the nicest too Game of Thrones. But it truly is like an old passionate relationship that just ended in a way that I never would have thought possible. And if I’m being honest with myself. I haven’t moved on. And… I still love Game of Thrones.
And yeah, I still hated the ending, and I have found so many problems in the last few seasons, that really felt like a total disconnect from the quality of storytelling that I initially fell in love with.
But here’s the thing. I still watch Game of Thrones.
And I don’t mean, I go back and watch my favorite episodes or seasons. I mean I still go back and watch the whole series over again, at least once a year. Even season 8, knowing that so many of my favorite characters would feel like they betrayed their character arcs, or that certain elements that felt foreshadowed are never delivered. Like a true exploration of prophecy, the impact of Jon SNow not being a bastard, Arya abandoning her face changing abilities, Bran’s time traveling ability, and after season 4 Little Finger completely forgetting that he’s the best schemer in Game of Thrones, and various other issues or disagreements I have with the last few seasons as the show became more and more detached from the source material in the books written by George RR MArtin.

Stannis & Shireen Ending Was A Mistake - Game of Thrones

Do you think people will accept it if it different or not? Or how do you think the story can be written with kings and queens?

    The problem with the show is they get Stannis wrong from the beginning. He was never a zealot of the Lord Of Light. Mellisandra was a tool to him, He had no faith in any gods after his parents died. Selene was the true believer. Over the course of the books, he becomes more disillusion with using Mellisandra and the Lord of Light as a tool in his decisions. Especially after the death of Renly by the shadow baby. He rightfully believes he was tricked in slaying his kin in a dishonorable method. He states numerous times it is his duty to seat Shireen as the next ruler because it is law of the land. He will not kin slay her for anything. Shireen is going to be sacrificed in the books, but not by Stannis. That will be done by anyone or a combination of Mellisandra, Selene, or Val who are all at The Wall with her, while Stannis is sieging Winterfell. Stannis is set to sacrifice someone else.... That my problem with the show. They had plenty of material for Stannis and logical places to go with him, but they never wrote him true from day one. And even with their version of him, they fumbled his ending with the threads they set up themselves. Him being slayed by Briennie make no sense thematically for either character.

  • @BeteBlanc
    @BeteBlanc 4 дні тому

    The real Stannis ordered his people to crown his daughter. I don't see a way to move his character that far away in the book that he would do this. Sacrificing Shireen isn't just giving up a daughter, it's sacrifice of his belief he should be king in favour of a role as AA. Given the sacrifice of his belief in being king he should have turned his attention beyond the Wall. Mel wants him to be AA, he's just taking advantage because he thinks it will help him win the war of the kings. Logistically it's also unlikely in the books. However in the books Stannis has two other options he didn't have in the show. Asha and Arya. Asha as an heir to her father and uncle is kingsblood, Arya as an heir to Robb is kingsblood, and he has both in book. The show presents the sacrifice as failing. Now, if Stannis were to burn Jayne believing she is Arya, the failure of the sacrifice makes more sense. This option was removed from the show when it removed Jayne and shifted her plot to Sansa. The show may have needed to present a key plot detail but been unable to do it properly.

      Really? Renly was going to kill him in Battle over a claim he had no right to. Stannis is the one character that does not want power for its own sake but because it is his duty. It is his duty to rule and defend the realm for the white walkers. He values the wisdom of lowborn Davos. Yet at the same time he’s willing to use dark magic to further his side. That’s why he’s interesting! He does have principles, and is steadfast but he sees it as his duty to do what he needs to save the realm.

      @ yes, to kill him in battle. In Westeros, killing a man in battle is fair, but killing a man with blood magic is "murder", Kinslayer in addition. Stannis wants power for the same reason the other 4 kings wanted power. And he was the most hypocrite about it. Because he talks about honor this and that, but still used black magic to get power. And as of white walkers, when he murdered Renly he did not know they were out there, so this argument is not very accurate

I made the point that killing someone on the battlefield is different from assasinating someone in their sleep, and Martin asked "Is it really?

      Not sure how it was in the show, but Stannis deeply regrets the un-honorable way Renly died. The spell that killed Renly was done by Melisandre. Stannis has nightmares over it. He did not know that "he" was going to used as the slayer of his brother in shadow form. It was the beginning of him pulling away from Mel. Also, Stannis whole purpose of fighting Renly was for the law. By law he inherited the throne, then Shireen. Unlike Renly, Stannis did not want the throne, he was going after it for duty. When he leave for Winterfell, he make arrangement to make sure Shireen with be protected and ascend the throne if he dies. Show Stannis is not book Stannis.

    Absolute monarchies and feudalism don't mix. It just goes to show that GRRM doesn't know the difference between the two.

Absolute monarchies have religious and aristocratic centers of power completely subject to the royal authority; as in, the king can enact laws without his nobles' consent or even invade the Pope's realm and there's no consequences whatsoever so long as his army of paid soldiers and bureaucrats stay loyal to him.

    9:21 me when i ignore all my problems that i need to find solutions for bc it’s overwhelming and run to skyrim or westeros lol btw this is exactly what is the reason (i believe) that a great portion of the fandom doesn’t like sansa, it’s the fact that she mirrors us (or ppl we know/known) & that is uncomfortable (honestly triggering is a better word for some)

    HOTD season two had more downs than ups where season one had more ups than downs. For this season I really enjoyed episodes 1-4, they were strong and held my attention throughout. Episodes 5-8, I caught myself falling asleep at certain times. Episode 7 was I would say an exception. Vermithor and Silverwing were the highlights. Season three better be worth this long wait.

    At this point I am not invested in the story just waiting to see the dragons some of them are disappointing just looking to see the ones not revealed yet.

    I think the difference between GoT and HotD is that GoT still managed to maintain a semblance of a coherent storyline whereas HotD has gone completely off the rails. Granted, GoT's last few seasons were a hot mess (7 & 8 in particular) but you could broadly see why the writers chose to take the path that they did, even if it's just something as simple as shock value. With HotD... Honestly, I think the problems were there from the start. Alicent & Rhaenyra's relationship hasn't been handled well, the timeline is all over the place and it doesn't seem like the writers themselves have reached a consensus as to who the characters actually are. Now we have Alicent sacrificing her sons for no good reason and a Rhaenyra who is not even allowed to feel rage at the death of her child. All the promise from the final scene of Season 1 has been squandered and I don't see how they can make it mke sense going forward.

    Havent watched it yet but can say I'm done too. This series was supposed to be about the dance of the dragons, and theyve dragged their feet for 2 seasons in favor of a lesbian soap opera. Now they have 16 episodes to show the actual war......with around 16 battles to go, which means alot will be cut in favor of the boring rhaenyra/alifent drama. I'm out. My only hope us winds of winter releasing before george croaks(gave up on a dream of spring long ago)

    Ned was an authoritarian that would have killed someone for smoking pot. He only cared about the rules that were already set. He never cared about whether those rules were right or wrong. He just assumed that they all must be right. Someone like this can NEVER BE A MORAL GOOD. People like him are why Monarchies failed. Why leadership should not be given based off of blood.

    I’m done with the shows, season 2 was the nail in the coffin. The books are amazing but if there’s no further news on a conclusion soon i’m done with the franchise as a whole. It seems the legacy for a song of ice and fire as a whole could end up being bad endings and wasted potential.

    What bums me out the most is how good the sets where and the effects, they managed to make all the dragons look unique. It just feels like wasted potential to me. Even my favorite episode form this season doesn’t carry any energy into the next one after the sick battle at rooks rest, plus aegons/ aemond conversation in high valerian was so awesome and it also achieved more then one thing in that one scene, and one of my rules for good is a scene must accomplish 2 or more things at once and that scene does just that. It sets up aemonds betrayal to his brother and it also sets up aegons incompetence and the resentment of the high council for aegon and it also sets up alicent losing power . And that’s why not only because of the battle but the dialogue between all of those characters that makes it grate

    To me, story wise, it all started when they decided to make Rhaenyra and Alicent to be childhood friends. I thought that maybe that would've brought something interesting to the storyline but giving them that sort os intimacy really screwed up later on, by them just being comfortable enough to have full on conversations that could've fixed everything from the get go. Just one of those butterflies I guess

      I disagree. I thought it was really compelling to watch their friendship turn sour. The problem is that they regressed the development in their relationship by making them sympathetic with each other when they should be at each other's throats. Their dynamic in Season 2 is an unnatural progression of their relationship.

    Really insightful video something I have pondered like u discussed, why do I feel completely burnt out and disappointed with Hotd in just season 2 where as GOT even when the cracks were showing I still was excited to watch the bext season, and the only explanation I have found, is that Game of Thrones maintained a significant level of quality for so many seasons that even when the show started declining I still wanted to see how Dany’s invasion of westeros would go or how would the white walker threat be handled because I had an emotional tie with the character that spanned a much longer time to get attached to them. Whereas for me I already had issues with main characters in season 1 but it became more apparent in season 2. Long story short I feel that certain characters are too ruined now that a season 3 doesn’t matter to me I already have fundamental issues with how the story has been presented! Great video!

      No disagreement. I just haven’t been able to explain to myself how I can still enjoy going over flawed GOT episodes, but after only two seasons of HOTD, there’s this exhausting feeling already. So this video was my best attempt at explaining it.

      @@DCharles Yeah I totally get it! There isn't the same passion or love that maybe Game of Thrones hit! It is weird because after the show ended I had so much passion to explain my issues of the season, and got it out of my system. Now I don't really think about HOTD how I even still do with GOT a lot.

      She's read it but says it's all patriarchy propaganda that's why she disregards book canon with confidence; Savage Books's deep dive was pretty enlightening - especially the first 30min (it drags on unfortunately).
