Seems the big problem is Bloodraven not being the 3 Eyed Crow

Michael 🥳

I think you may be right about Sansa experiencing a “fall” when she leaves the Eyrie, but I think it will be metaphorical rather than literal. Since GRRM likes to push characters to go against their original defining trait, I could see her running away - perhaps in a scandalous way like Lyanna - and gaining new powers after this fall from social grace and her status as a proper lady. People already say she’s a witch, it would be a fun subversion of her character if she went that way.

You guys should let Duke talk more!

Zac breaking canon in this video. Everybody knows Zac only watched through season 5 and jumped back in right at the very end so they could fully experience the train wreck. There’s no way Zac would’ve fallen asleep during the Long Night episode. Boy I really hope someone got fired for that blunder

"its Metallica" lolol

Horrible video; too much "ASOIAF theory" not enough jokes

Pro tip : if you put a tinfoil hat on, you can hear GRRM's thoughts

5 months late but some thoughts: 1) Bran dying and resurrecting as a part of the new world tree also supports the idea of him as Bloodraven’s successor. Maybe he comes back as part of that tree, physically and mentally connected to it i.e. a new man in the tree 2) the Christ metaphor also works in that Jesus is referred to as “king of kings.” Maybe the bad dragon show’s election of Bran as King is their interpretation of George setting Bran up as this god-like entity who presides over the ruling families of Westeros at the end of DoS??? That way he can also enforce greater morals like not doing the old ways too

Zeb, who is it?

I thought only a member of the royal family could demand a trial by seven.

Roose Bolton via his maester is by far the best answer, and the best set up in the text

As lacan says, man is the only creature that can tell the truth by lying

I love the Children of the Florists call back, completely stopped everything I was doing to fully take in my enjoyment. Luckily, the algorithm pushed the videos in appropriate order as I'm new with like 7 days here

Hodor

I definitely don't think Ned is a good person even though he's by far better than most of the royal family clowns... he still blindly obeys... such as hacking the dudes head off at the beginning of the story (without hearing the dude out) because it's the law of the land.

I will not abide this foul slander against Maester Aemon, this is preposterous, unacceptable! And the ridiculous conspiracy theory against our good monarch, the one true king Comrade Egg! Otherwise, good theory.

I have hope that GRRM is a good writer and won't go down the road Attack on Titan went on, a kind of time travel that even when hinted at since the beginning, irreparably convolutes the story to a point where the character's original motivations are non existent and the time manipulation makes no sense both in a mechanical and a character writing standpoint

Hodor

At the end you asked for some other instances of time travel in media and I had to make myself pick just one so that I wouldn't be here forever and in that case I'm gonna talk about zero escape/999 now (spoilers obviously) So 999 is a puzzle game with branching paths, and the plot is that the 9 characters are trapped on a boat that will sink in 9 hours and they have to get through these 9 numbered puzzle rooms to escape, and over the course of the game you realize that, this puzzle game was done 9 years ago by someone else, and in that puzzle game that took place 9 years ago there was a girl who died- and at the end of the game you find out that the girl who died 9 years ago is the one who set up this game in the present because due to time travel shenanigans, it's required to solve a puzzle in the present in order to save her in the past, and she knew how to orchestrate the whole game in the present because she was having a future vision of it in the timeline from 9 years ago Basically what I find very compelling about it is the contrast of the fact the younger version of herself obviously didn't deserve to die, but in order to save herself she had to orchestrate this very terrible future The initial time travelling Bran theory really reminded me of that because (I might be wrong cause I haven't seen it in a while) in the original theory the idea is that Bran is trying repeatedly to escape Bloodravens cave alive and he keeps going back and altering details to make it happen, including destroying Hodor's mind. So it's a very similar scenario where normal Bran does not deserve to die, but time travelling Bran has had to do terrible things to make sure he lives Okay that's where I'm done rambling for now, awesome video, I love thinking about time travel

Did Marwin cut Varys to light a glass candle ? Who knows....

I think the biggest "lie being set up" alyene (sansa i lnow i butchered the spelling) basically being second in command in the vale going out of her way to set up the tourney to seduce harry the heir while lyijg about who she is how her aunt died and whats going go happen. Not to mention all the lying she had to do to survive kings landing. I remember hating sansa my first read through but now. . . i respect the hell out of what she's had to do to survive. 🫡 Sansa

What if the hamme of the waters was a meteor that was magically called down?

Hodor 😂

The irony of talking about Bran time traveling to fix things while George is struggling to write because he ended a character he still needed. 🤣

Re: Bran killing Ned n amount of times... what's the over/under on the number of times Bran wargs into Payne, passing the sentence and swinging the sword Ow, my heart

Not watched it all yet so maybe it gets mentioned but my favourite lying Ned moment is when he accidentally calls the guy who everyone is supposed to believe kidnapped and did horrible things to his sister 'the finest knight I have ever known'

I think the lie might be “She was mad”

The theory Cersei accidently poisoned Joffery always seemed too far fetch to me. But if Cersei never thinks she has never done anything wrong. If she is able to lie so completely to dissociate in her mind, then maybe.... Tyrion was obviously the intended target. So in her crazy mind it would be Tyrion's fault. Littlefinger has been trying to get Tyrion killed from the start. Perhaps at Cersei's insistence. I don't think the Tyrells would kill Joffery until Margaery was with child.

I think Ned's lies are the most important to the story/moral/theme. He became a martyr and is immortalized on a pedestal. I think George originally intended for Ned to actually be scheming for the throne for *someone*. Jon, Stannis or whoever. He is in such a clear position to obviously be up to something. The early drafts that were made public seem to indicate Ned being a different kind of person. Maybe the North really does remember, and Ned knows (or is influenced by 3 eyed raven) dragons will be really helpful next winter. But, if he was planning something from the start he would not let Jon join the Night's Watch. Unless Jon is actually his son or he planned to someone else to take the throne. I think George decided for whatever reason decided to make Ned a super good guy. But the set up was still left in place. In the early draft there was an editor note telling George to write Ned differently. Something about Ned's uncouth language that sounded rather more like Robert than Ned. I'm too deep in the Jon is Ned's son rabbit hole. Young Griff is Lyanna's son.

I am still delusional enough to believe this theory. Maybe Heorge didnt want us hyping it before worldcon. The last time we got a full series update of the book covers was durijg the realse of ADWD. I still believe

Hodor 😂😂😂

Who was beat to death at the 7th minute?

Pls pls add some loose chapter shortcuts

Gendry was told to lie about who he is to Jon and doesn’t. Sansa lies to save Littlefinger.

If the BDS is correct that Bran will ascend the throne (in which case I think he’s the Lord of Light as well as source of all prophecies), it follows then that the whole history and myth is a series of lies… But as Ygritte tells Jon, a Bard’s truth is different. The book is Martin’s truth then built on lies.

Twice.

the Question of why is it better to kill men in Battle than at Dinner? His mom was at the dinner-ladies in waiting and kids etc. it isn't a Battle-it was a Wedding and they were not prepared. Think 'Trolly Problem' and then go at it. It was WRONG on EVERY level lol..and it was MURDER most foul.

it's HOW Ned lies that is interesting. In HIS thoughts, we don't get the reasoning really; he just does it. We are inside his head and he STILL doesn't give any warning as to that change. He IS lying to HIMSELF about the things he has done. And when he lies-he does so by NOT thinking about it. Damnit lol-I can say this better. I am so sorry. When Ned lies his thinking changes-how we read his thoughts-THOSE patterns start to change. Some of these characters KNOW that someone is reading their thoughts and they are guarded thoughts that WE are reading. Sansa is MUCH the same in her thinking-her lying. Lie by Omission or by Silence. And LIVE the lie as if it were truth-that means even in your thinking, live the lie even in your thouughts.

like this a lot. History doesn’t repeat but it rhymes. It also adds to my long held theory that Ned is not the man we all think he is. There is so much information given in this tiny scene of Ned lying. GRRM shows us Ned’s “tells” when he lies (He préfères to use omission than straight up lying) and it also shows us WHY he lies. It is then up to the reader to find other “rhythms”. The true nature of Ned’s lie of omission is that he is trying to hide the fact that he found out that Cersei’s children were fathered by her brother Jamie. He thinks he is protecting Cersei from certain DEATH if it is found out. Here is rhyme I found years ago and this is a variation of the same theme I never realized . Ned is lying about Jon’s birth. It is a lie within a lie and the only thing that keeps it from being found out is that he absolutely refuses to discuss it with anyone, not his wife nor his very best friend in the world Robert. It is the same lie he wrote in Roberts will (it rhymes) but since this happened earlier he was able to “tweak” the lie in Robert’s will in order to save the mother whereas the original he was not able to save because he killed the mother, Lyanna. I have said this for years B+L=J: Benjen+Lyanna=Jon This is why Jon looks more Stark than the Stark children because is is 100% Stark. There are scenarios that point to this. The first is Ned killing Lady. After Ned kills Lady he uses his limited resources of men to escort her bones back to Winterfell to be buried in the crypts. There is a similar story that rhymes with this… Ned makes sure that another “lady” of Winterfell’s bones are transported back to be buried in the crypts … his sister Lyanna, even though women were not buried in the crypt. One of the very first scenes was Ned coming upon a pregnant female direwolf that had been killed by a stag. Pregnant female direwolf = Lyanna was killed BECAUSE of a Stag=Robert Baratheon . Ned killed Lyanna because she was betrothed to Robert and this pregnancy would shame their family. I think Ned killed Lyanna and sent Benjen to the wall where he would never be able to inherit Winterfell nor have children. The first mention of fatherhood was between Benjen and Jon. The scene with the dead direwolf also showed us Ned’s reaction … he immediately wanted to kill the pups. I think he wanted to kill Jon. In fact, I think that Ned had killed Lyanna and she momentarily resurrected and said “promise me Ned” not to kill the baby. This is why he made sure to bury her in the crypt to her her spirit trapped. Ned’s reticence regarding writing Robert’s will is because of his own actions not the lie itself. Something happened so shocking that is why he tries to avoid it with Cersei and with killing Daenerys as a child. What connects all three of these stories , they are children born from brothers with sisters.

1:15 lies begin

The Woman in White by Willie Collins is one of if not the first books to use animals not liking someone as foreshadowing for them being evil. I only bring this up because that book is terrific and more people should read it
