This is not a story about character arcs. It's a story of the conflicts within the human hearts. Not everyone can be redeemed. Genius really
Arya and The Hound are easily my favorite characters in the show. Tormund is 3rd. While I'm disappointed that The Hound had to die, he fulfilled both of his objectives. Keeping Arya safe and killing his brother. Now he can rest easy and share some ale and chicken with Beric, Thoros, and Brother Ray. Season 8 has been a mess and a ton of storylines were wrecked, but at least they got the one with Arya and The Hound correct. Sandor went out like a badass.
I agree that it's been rushed, I don't agree about the character arcs going to shit. This isn't a show where people go from good to bad or from bad to good, they're in the gray area a majority of the time. Jamie has done horrible things, all to be with Cersie, as much as I rooted for him to kill her I was not shocked when he wasn't. He's always loved her no matter what. Other then Brienne, that's the only woman he's been with. You could tell he really cared for and wanted to try with Brienne, but that's just not Jamie he's ALWAYS been with Cersie. And I loved their deaths, Jamie died in the arms of the woman that he loved, and Cersie died by her whole kingdom literally falling down on top of her. And Danny going mad has been foreshadowed for years. She's always had to be told not to do the tyrant things that she wanted to do. If she was so good, it wouldn't have taken soooo much convincing for her to not burn the city down if they surrendered to her. She wouldn't have asked Jon to hide his true identity. And she only chose to fight with the north AFTER her dragon died and she wanted REVENGE on the NK. She's always been after revenge, revenge for her family, revenge for taking away the throne from her family, revenge for "wronging" her, that's all she's ever wanted besides the iron throne. I wish we had more time to see that madness progress, but it's something I could tell was going to end up happening a few seasons ago, just didn't know when it would happen.
This isn't a happy story, Do you know George RR Martin ? Or the real world.
@@Andyhandz That's what I'm saying
@@reneegloss1718 Well this awkward, I could of sworn I read that first sentence backwards.
I don't agree with it being rushed, just would seem that way because they have to travel a lot and who wants a episode of just traveling. In previous seasons there was other stuff to cut to during it, But now there's not.
There are things the writers are guilty of, like how there was like barely anyone left after the Night king then suddenly there's half of everyone.
You hit the nail on the head with Jaime 😒👎🏼
We deserved 10 episodes this season... too rushed 😩
hi!!!
That's the problem. Everything is going too fast because only 6 episodes in this season.
The only reaction that matters
Thanks man, it mean's a lot!
@@SiTHFuRioN ua-cam.com/video/rk1IU7ywjug/v-deo.html
I don't think what Jamie did was a departure from his character at all. That's why I never wanted him with Brienne because I knew he would ultimately hurt her. That's who he is. It's who he's always been. Yes he has "moments in the sun" but he's shown us again and again that he will always go back to Cercei. Yes it seemed like his character was on a new path but it's like he said to Brienne, he's still the man who pushed a little boy out a window. He's still the man who murdered his own cousin. When he says he would have murdered every man, woman and child in River Run he means it. He would have done it without a second thought. Because that's who he is. It pisses people off because we WANT to believe that people like that can change, that a leopard really can change it's spots, but more often than not that's just not the case. He's a hard core addict and Cercei is his drug.
@TheBritishBulldog We don't know the same thing that happens in the show won't happen in the books. The idea that he can't relapse is nonsensical.
No, we're not talking about the books we're talking about the show. They said a long time ago that the show is it's own entity. Also, GRRM is still working with the show so there's every reason to believe that how this is going is loosely how the last book will go.
@@divergirl8296 plus this is practically the end and its not gonna be different in the books
My problem with that is that just 3 weeks ago, Bran was telling Jaime that he would _still_ be the man he was, if he didn’t push him down the window. What has changed then, if only to bring him to the start of his journey once more?
@@FrizFroz I don't think the Jaime from the beginning would have walked away from Cercei to go "fight for the living". But he's a hard core drug addict who tried to get clean and the drug pulled him back in. Who knows, if he hadn't died, perhaps some day he would have broken Cercei's hold on him once and for all. Sadly, the drug got him killed before he could beat it.
People can’t run away from who they really are. Jamie was one of my favorite characters. He tried to be a good man but he was just kidding himself. ✌🏼
Yes- there are many reasons to criticize the writing, but Jamie is not one of them. Those who are complaining about how this ruins his arc forget that people in real life do revert back to bad habits and the bad parts of their personality that they try to correct. Self improvement is not always an easy line on the ascent.
I see it as he was addicted to Cersei, knew she was bad, hated himself when he was with her, but still fell off the wagon.
People don't typically do that after being threatened to be killed by the person they love and then leaving to save the world from the army of the dead and having sex with one of the few people in the world to hear your darkest secrets and not judge you for it, and then immediately abandoning that person in favor of the person who originally threatened to murder you if you left to do the right thing.
@@evesapple Jamie was never meant to fuck brienne. Thats just showrunner writing trying to fanservice with bad writing. Brienne shud have died after being knighted. Jamie and Danys arcs were probably told to the show runners for the finale ending. But the middle was made up by the show runners hence why its fucking shitty garbage payoff and looks 180 cause its badly written
@@Akiraspin People stay in abusive relationships all the time man. It's very human for him to go back to Cersei. Him being with Brienne was him TRYING to get away. It was him lying to himself, and he knew it. You can't help who you love
Dude you are on point, as always! Love your reactions and predictions.
Thx
Also people keep talking about the character arcs. "Oh the arcs, the arcs." Yes arcs go up, but they also come back down. That's how it is in real life as well. Everyone goes through periods where they're on the rise, but everyone also goes through times where they stumble and fall and backslide.
@David Rodriguez plot armour is literally always there how do peopel forget that
True true. I'm kinda starting to forgive and understand what they did with Jamie's character. But I think it just sucks that we didn't get to see enough of Cersei this season. She just looked at the window a bunch of times, then died from falling rocks. :v
But with Dany's arc... Idk.. I still don't like it. 😕
I agree that this whole season has been rushed. *sighs* Can't believe that it's gonna be all over soon. Still gonna watch the final episode of course. And probably rewatch the whole series after. 😂
Not after his "journey" all these seasons!!!He killed his King because he wanted to save innocent people.And now he is going back to the real mad queen?No consistency....
All the ques have been there throughout the seasons of her having that ol'Targaryen madness, but as someone pointed out on a post somewhere--it was being held in check by the people close to her that she cared about, and they are all but gone. It only takes a single crack and overtime it expands and breaks. I do agree that they needed atleast several more episodes in this season to lead up to her actions. It is a bit rushed.
Look into your life and tell me you don't know someone like Jamie, someone that would run back to his/her love no matter what. 😏
Sometimes I feel like this show is a little ahead of its time. We've been trained for storylines with romantic ideas of redemption and people turning the corner from bad to good. When a character relapses, we then judge the writers for ruining the character's arc, when really we should applaud them for writing the character as a human being.
I'm really disappointed in season 8, but these reactions are still the best!
im disappointed too.
I haven't agreed with everything but for the most part I have been very satisfied.
@TheBritishBulldog You have a nice day.
TheBritishBulldog here’s what I don’t get: why do you have to insult someone simply because they like something you don’t? I don’t agree with your feelings on the show but I wouldn’t call you stupid because you don’t like it. Grow up my dude.
@@missliss2581able What don't you understand?, he's got "british" in his name.
The Cersei and Jaime story was right out of Shakespeare, a complete tragedy, very well written.
There should be justice!!!She was evil!!!Dany with Drogon,Arya or Jaime should have killed her.
Euron was waiting in ambush the first time, shooting at an unsuspecting and injured dragon flying in a straight line.. this time Dany flew low to the ground after using the sun for cover for her own ambush, and bobbed and weaved while knowing to watch out for incoming projectiles. Completely makes sense that a prepared dragon and rider would decimate their naval fleet no problem.
"A Villain is the hero of the other side" - GRRM
Except Daenerys, who is just a villain doing evil things.
Also I'd like to add I think GRRM is going the same direction with Dany.... also weren't we all Tyrion in this episode? I can tell Sith was for sure. Sith wanted Dany to do what was right. Praying that Dany would do what's right. That's Tyrion... and when Dany doesn't do what we hope she does it devastates us... like it devastates Tyrion.... We were all Tyrion this episode and our hearts were broken and I think that's damn good writing *again...if a bit rushed*
Wonderfully put!
"I will take what is mine with Fire and Blood" - Daenerys Targaryen
You guys keep saying they changed her character!! Seriously how come you didn't see this coming!!
But there is a difference between being a mad queen and being out for revenge. I do not think Dany is mad as in crazy. Madness implies unpredictability. Dany is not unpredictable at all. She says herself "Let it be fear". I think she is consumed with vengence and revenge after all that happened to her and so she reacts the way she does (as does Grey Worm). But they are in no way like Aerys.
Jamie is a fool. He's been a fool all along...a very smug, arrogant fool who thought he could do whatever he wanted and get away with it all. I truly don't understand how people could claim that his character arc was for nothing, or that it's being somehow rushed to fit some new narrative. I don't see it. Just because Jamie found a good part of himself doesn't mean that he was actually a good person. And even after Jamie started turning the corner, he still kept going back to the well showing that he wasn't fully committed to becoming a new man.
People fall from their redemption path to return to their own darkness all the time. Alcoholics start drinking after being 10 years sober. Women go back to the men who beat them. Ex-cons return to prison after riding out a long sentence and being released.
It makes perfect sense that Jamie would not be able to sever his connection to Cersei. That twisted relationship went on for more than 20 years and produced 3 children. It would have taken a lifetime for him to completely cleanse himself of her. He didn't have the strength or the will to do so.
Thank you! Exactly! I don't understand why people are surprised. It's who he has always been.
I really like how they have done Dany's arc here. I do have sympathy for her because I understand what has drove her to this point. I think that has been fantastic storytelling if a bit rushed.
She can dodge with drogon. She controls him. With the other two, they were oblivious and didn't see it coming
Oh man, when i saw the Tiyrion/Jamie scene live i was emotional but didn't tear up, seeing it with you and you teared up i did as well! I love your reactions man, always feels like we're really watching together!
It's not just 1 dragon, it's Drogon ^^, kinda counts as 2.
Scorpion shooters go from deadeye snipers to stormtroopers in just two episodes.
Daenerys is grieving with a broken heart and has been betrayed. Add a weapon of mass destruction and it's a recipe for disaster.
So excited to see this one. Thank you for the quick uploads and thank you for your reactions. Love them.
Completely agree. It's defo been rushed, they've also made some pretty stupid character decisions. I was so convinced Jamie was going back to kill her, they completely set it up that way through many seasons only to throw away his arc like it meant nothing. Same with most of the show. Remember the Night King? Anyone?
@dirt man That sound's so ridiculous that you can't be for real
@@D25Bev i cant believe people REALLY thought Jamie was going to kill Cersei. You really expected that man to kill his unborn child?? Jamie isnt honorable. Jamie isnt a good man. Just because you have grown to like someone doesn't mean they are suddenly a good character. Everything Jamie does... is for Cersei. We know this we've been shown this.
@@LadyWisteriaa 'Jamie isnt honorable. Jamie isnt a good man.' Pleads with Cersei & abandons her when she won't help fight the night king to save all the innocent people. I'm not saying he was good but his character evolved into something different over many seasons only to make it all meaningless & then so out of line with what his character had become just a short time before. Also if he isn't honourable & not a good person, he would've had even more of a reason to kill her.
@@D25Bev uhh yeah he pleaded with her to help fight. Because if they didnt fight the night king they were all gonna be dead. He pleaded for his and her life. Not because he wanted to save the realm. Same reason as to why everyone fought. Nobody cared about the realm, they fought because they knew if they didnt they would die.
And no...hes not a good man and hes not honorable, because of cersei. No honor doesn't mean youre willing to just murder your unborn child. Youre looking at this from your opinionated pov and of course its gonna look bad from that angle. You have to look at it factually. We only had 1 season in which Jamie turned against Cersei....not even one season HALF of a season. The only person Jamie would EVER turn against Cersei for is Tyrion. And even then he has regretted that decision. Jamie is hooked to Cersei regardless of if he or the fans like it.
few seasons ago he literally said he would kill every tully who ever lived just to get back to her, nothing i have seen in the slightest suggest he would ever kill her quite the opposite actually
Even now people are saying "Dany never had genocidal maniacal tendencies". Guys, wake up already. Already in season 1 she was trying to have Khal Drogo invade Westeros with his pillaging rapists on her behalf, putting hundred of thousands in harm's way. As soon as she had the dragons in early season 2 she threatened Qarth with dragonfire, while dying of thirst and her dragons still being little, also about to die. Go back and count how many times she casually threatened someone with dragonfire, go and count how many times an adviser had to stop her from committing an act of violence.
1. Stop with the falsification of history. Dany planning a war of conquest is well documented and was never denied by her.
2. Stop the gaslighting. People already in early seasons (and book reader way before the show was produced) called her out for planning a war of conquest and the genocide associated with it. You can try and pretend, that no one could have seen it coming, but we did indeed.
Here is a little question you can answer for yourself: If a person starting a war of conquest and thereby putting hundred of thousands in harm's way, while openly announcing the intention of wanting to burn cities to the ground does not constitute said person having "genocidal maniacal tendencies", tell me please what else is needed for the person to have "genocidal maniacal tendencies"?
How much are you willing to shift the goalposts, turning yourself into dishonest fanboys and fangirls just to defend Dany?
cersi last episode
"she will have to burn thousands of innocent people to get to me.
Danny "Okay bet."
This is an interesting reaction format. I like it and the production quality. Cheers.
You have to remember that Rhaegal's death was planned..Euron's ships were hidden with their target in site, for their eyes only..it was the element of surprise..all the ships had their scorpions locked on the dragon..1 2 3..shots quick and fast...Dany now had her own strategy and was ready for the scorpions and where they were located ..she must have seen them in the episode where they killed Missandei on the tower peaks..
4:00 priceless. why did no other critic see that dilemma. you're the best, hands down.
Been waiting all day for this!
YES! HELLO THERE!
I've been waiting all day Sith
Thanks Alex.. I just wish I could get these reactions/videos up faster...
Off topic but Loving that sega geek shirt. Sick !
Award winning performance by Peter Dinklage. He was brilliant in season 8.
Dany used the sun to mask her approach and make it harder for the scorpions to aim. She then got in close. The scorpions are heavy, hard to manoeuvre quickly. At long range, it's much easier because only minor adjustments need to be made. It makes sense that they would struggle to hit Drogon. And when she attacked the walls, she went in low, so the scorpions shot low, which is when she made a sharp rise to avoid them. Make the scorpions miss their first volley, and they're yours for the taking, since they take a fair while to reload.
Best reaction channel hands down. Love your work.
It's always been this way. Since season 1, Jorah, Messandei have always been her level head, and as of recent Jon. She's never had one on her own, She's always wanted this look back on all her ideas... she's always had to be talked out of them...She always wanted to turn to fire and blood...
and now no one is there to say not to. Also she said the town people made their choice when they sided with Cersei and weren't her people.
She burns people alive ffs.
Euron took out the Dragon flying at half speed, and with the elements of surprise and not looking at the Sun.
I like how Tyrion is still alive after betraying Dany and freeing Jaime. It’s like no one ever checked back on the prisoner in a few hours time to notice that he was missing after being told to vacate the premises, or reporting it to Dany who would have had more than enough time to kill him before heading to Kingslanding.
12:30 - Forced no, rushed... Very much so. They needed at least 2 more seasons to do these 6 episodes right..
In this context, forced and rushed are synonymous. They are forcing this preplanned ending into an unnecessarily rushed timespan.
Or extend this season and the previous season to 10 episodes each.
@@revolutionairre I disagree.. If you look back at Dany's journey, you'll see that she was ALWAYS heading here. She always had a temper a volatile; threatening Viseries, standing idly by while her (at the time) only family member was slaughtered, threatening to kill the people of Qarth because they wouldn't let her into their city, burning a raped woman alive for doing exactly what she asked (it wasn't her fault Demented Dany didn't understand that magic comes with a price), burying a man alive in his own tomb, turning on the slave master despite making a fair deal, slaughtering and conquering Mireen and not governing properly, burning innocent men alive, threatening to destroy cities, controlling and subjugating anyone who she enters into a sexual/romantic relationship with, collecting titles to make herself seem more impressive, demanding Jon (and the whole of Westeros) bend the knee (and then punishing them for showing loyalty to their actual monarch) despite having done NOTHING to earn their devotion, and threatening (covertly or otherwise) anyone who disagreed with her "I'm her queen, if she can't respect me..."
She was ALWAYS teetering on the edge of madness, Set Barison, Jorah, Tyrion, Missandei and others kept her off the edge, but eventually her ill-deserved powers poisoned her ability to reason.
@@MANB91UK Everything you listed there is rational behavior. Madness is a very specific thing. Rational behavior doesn't necessarily mean empirically correct, nor does it always lead to the optimal outcome-morally or otherwise. She has made mistakes, but her decisions (both correct and incorrect) were always based in logic-even when clouded by emotion. Her latest decision is a complete departure from her character.
As a result of her lineage and upbringing, she has always been comfortable with violence, but again, this has nothing to do with madness. Violence was always used by Dany as a means to a rational end. That, while brutal, is antithetical to the definition of madness. The brand of violence she carried out in this episode was never hinted at or set up.
Yes, the show has portrayed her as emotionally volatile, but the writers can't expect people to buy that she goes from a well-meaning, brutal ruler to a genocidal maniac devoid of rational thought after she's achieved her goal.
We agree that it is rushed. I assert that it is forced, lazy writing to not remodel the story around time constraints. Narrative integrity is paramount to a good writer. That should override the urge to stick with predetermined plot points.
If Dany is truly Mad Queen status now, you guys act as if the onset of mental illness should take yeeeaaarrs. When there is a break, it usually happens suddenly, so I don't understand any of the criticism. Be a big enough person to just say "I don't like the story they're telling" instead of bitching about character arcs and traits. *You have picked the best genre for yourself* if you truly believe this is what's wrong, if you believe this isn't how people could and do act- *fantasy.*
“When my dragons are grown, we will take back what was stolen from me and destroy those who wronged me! We will lay waste to armies and burn cities to the ground!” - (season 2) Honestly the only thing that surprised me is how surprised everyone is lol she's always been half mad, just think back on how many times she's wanted to burn everyone and been talked out of it by her advisers (Ser Jorah, Ser Barristan and co). Well she only has Tyrion now and she doesn't really trust him, and she is deeply in mourning and wanting it all to just be over, not to mention her Targaryen heritage. Didn't feel rushed to me at all, it felt like something thats been signposted from the beginning.
Euron killed Rhaegal easier because it was a side moving unsuspecting target.Drogon is flying fast and expecting offense🤷♂️
And what about the other 100+ ships and scorpions mounted all along the wall of kingslanding? What was their excuse for not being able to do shit when Drogon flew to the side of many ships when he made his passes and in a straight line to take out the wall mounts?
locomojoboy2 did you notice they cannot move the scorpions quickly, they are to big and cumbersome to kill fast moving targets.
John Conti Bronn would beg to differ, even though the one he used was a different model that could easily get the same job done as we saw Qyburn demonstrate on the dragonskull and in 7x4. Also Euron would beg to differ as we could easily see how quickly he was able to move the scorpion after he killed rhegal and took aim at Dany and then at the ships.
But what you just said only proves how retarded the writing has become that they would design a ballista powerful enough to kill a dragon, yet make it so big and cumbersome that it’s incapable of being maneuvered quick enough to target said dragon when it’s on the offense in its natural environment. And to top it all off, they fit this ballista that’s too big and cumbersome to do what it’s supposed to do on every one of their 100+ ships and all around the wall of KL.
Euron killed Rhaegal because bad plot and then Dany destroyed the all fleet because bad plot...
locomojoboy2 the early scorpion was much smaller and easier to maneuver but obviously not as deadly.It seems they had to make them larger to be able to actually kill Drogon but that came at the cost of mobility.That isn’t bad writing, that is trial and error that happens every day in the real world.
When your angelic best fiend's last words were "burn them all" ... you better burn them all.
Off topic question: Where is your cat? I haven't seen him/her in awhile.
She's alright, It's the summer so she's outside more now lol
And I agree with your assessment of the direction they are taking Dany in.
her story arc has been coming this way forever, the books stopped at season five, I refuse to dismiss the whole 3 seasons since, just for danys arc
Surprise was an element Dany and the fleet used to get at each other. Dany didn't expect the scorpions and the fleet didn't expect Dany to come at them through the direction of the sun.
Rember last episode when they killed dragon. It was just flying casual didnt know they were there
I really see where you're coming from about Dany's arc! When you say, though, that she's learning to be better than her nature, I have to ask you to second guess yourself. Every time Dany overcomes something, she does so by destruction. All she has learned through her journey is that might is right. So she hasn't learned anything about being a good ruler. In fact, rather than being different from her Targaryen predecessors, Dany is always shown embracing her heritage--"I am the last Targaryen and I will take what is mine with Fire and Blood". And her experience as a "savior" (not going to get into WSC here) has tragically prepared her to go mad. Dany is now so used to being loved by the masses that she doesn't know what to do when they reject her. I love Dany so much for everything she could have been, but I can't deny what she is.
That's the rub, you ALWAYS have a choice. The choices we make are shows our true selves. Dany choosing fest to rule, shows who she really is. It's always been there.
my favorite content creator, thank you, about to grab some popcorn
I'm always here for you guys!
They needed at LEAST two more seasons, ten episodes a piece.
Get a life
When the other dragon got killed it was injured and couldn’t manoeuvre properly,and just because we only see three shot hit doesn’t mean they were the only shouts fired,every time we see the scorpions getting fired they are all getting fired at once.
They weren't ready for that dragon and she came in from the sun behind her so she was harder to see before it was too late. I mean it was a tactic used by World war I and II pilots for Pete's sake. She had the element of surprise this time and they couldn't hit her when she's aware of them all and when the dragon moved like that dive bombing where they aren't aiming, unlike when her other dragon got ambushed and the fleet knew exactly where to hit when they're just flying straight without a care in the world. Now she and this dragon were in battle mode and were much harder to shoot down. They also had the disadvantage of the reloading delay not to mention turning the scorpions to track a fast moving target.
Well, the first dragon killing was an ambush, this time she had time to prepared and think it over.
You made an interesting point... The mad queen thing had been foreshadowed since season one if you ask me, but it has been like you say at a 3-4 sort of thing. Though, I think it is reasonable to suddenly ratch it up, because we are at her endgame and all her life dreams are slipping through her fingers at the final hurdle. She bottled it.
Way to go with rationalisation mate! Bran's vision about the shadow of a dragon on KL was in Season 5 (or 6?) ... meaning that she was going to burn the city since the 90s when GRR Martin invented the story... this was going to happen: Dany was going to use dragons to burn KL... Now, the excution in the show might be crapy (not the first time), but I really think this is one of the milestones of this Epic. She was always about her "right" to the throne and she was always threatening people and killing them randomly... and she has already burned a city (remember when she got the Unsullied?).
I seriously don't see why people are surprised that Jaime, who always said he would do anything for Cersei is ACTUALLY going back to her... and Dany, who always said she will punish everyone who stands between her and her "right" did EXACTLY that...
Where is the bad writting?! These two characters are consistent as fuck!!! All they have done has been foreshadowed since Season 1... you might not like it, but since when GOT panders to fans?!
Sith talks about hoping it is a misdirect..
Me.... Ummmmmm 🤣
Same here. I was like ohhhh boy!!
Jon during this season : "you're my queen". Episode 6 : "fuck, i need to wake up, i'm intellectually dead".
11:15
jon- " so... all I have to do to prevent the destruction of the city, the horrible deaths of a million people, and being forced to betray my queen is... take one for the team and... bang...emilia...clarke..?"
also jon... " nah. I don't wanna"
The little bird in the beginning of the episode was trying to poison her. But she wasn’t eating. The spider was already trying to kill her.
Really enjoying your reaction videos to Game o' Thrones, mainly cos you clearly understand character development and motivation, and story arcs. And, sadly, how a lot of this has been thrown overboard to be replaced by spectacle and a headlong charge to whatever ending we're going to have to swallow.
Like you, I'm still enjoying watching it, and watch it I will to the very end, but it's so frustrating because it could have been great and at the last minute the writers have done an Oberyn vs The Mountain.
She executed the Masters, she's burnt masters, she's burnt the Tarlys. After years of being told the people will open their arms for her return and love her, finding out she is not loved and someone else who has a better claim on the throne is loved and losing two of her "babies" Jorah and Missandei has tipped her over the edge. It can happen quickly.
tyrion's actions in this episode only proof to me that he was never a good hand for her because whether he believes it or not he always had his sister's safety in mind and that's why he would never let her do what she needed to do in this is why this happened
Catherine Garcia so true
I was waiting for your reaction ..and i'm so glad you did
The show has been alluding to the sinister side of her Dragon bloodline for awhile. She either kept in check or was persuaded by Jorah to reconsider things, but all of the losses she has suffered and the feeling of isolation caused her to lose her rag, and take out her need for vengeance on everyone and everything in Kings Landing. The Iron Throne is a symbol for her in a way, and I don’t think she ever intended sitting on the Throne in Kings Landing. The city is not what she wanted , she wanted the entire continent and now she has it.
The only explanation of why they killed Rheagal so easily is that they were ready to fire the sec they came into view they had a scorpions locked and loaded on every ship pointing at them and waiting and in this they were just preparing and not ready for her and definitely not ready for her to come in from so high directly above them and with the sun at her back they couldn't see where to aim until she was in top of them and those things are hard to move and reload quickly. Other than that I can't imagine why they would hype them up so damn much just to be take out so easily!
She used the light behind her like Aegon the Conqueror did at Harrenhal in the books. He couldn't get through their defenses until he went straight up over the walls and came straight down using the light as a shield of sorts.
I love your videos mate 👏🏻
Thanks man
Why do people think a mental breakdown is supposed to take years?
Lol I've read the title as the Balls xD
Last time the dragons were flying straight and level quite slowly. As Robert Shaw said in the Battle of Britain "never fly straight and level in the combat zone for more than 30 seconds". Now Daenerys was diving in at speed and moving around, there's no way you can hit a flying Dragon that is moving that much as you would have to fire ahead of it and they are too slow to aim and react to changes of flight path.
Jon looked beautiful in the scene where he's speaking to Varys. Sorry, off topic. Carry on lol
Oh, hi Bran!
Love your work Sith 🖤
Sith my friend, I looked so forward to your reaction. Even more than the episode itself 😁 cant wait to hear what you think. Even tho I already have a feeling of what you'll think 😁 time for reaction, let's do this, man!
Choosing this storyline for Danny also undermines the other characters that we love, and their decision to believe in the queen i.e. Jorah, Jon etc
“She’s not going full-on Mad Queen”.. weeeeell 😂😂
I love your reaction. It seemed genuine and nice. Will we see you again after the show ends?
Well, we all teared up at the Jaime-Tyrion part, of course.
GRRM has written Dany like this from the very beginning. It's nothing new what so ever... People are just oblivious to it, because they want her to be the good guy in a show where there are no good guys.
Completely agree. I did enjoy it a bit but now I'm watching this for the conclusion rather than my enjoyment.
Furion: Dani,She's not going full mad queen.
Dani: Hold my beer
4:02 Ha haaaaa I haven't laughed so hard in days... Thank you for that!
Seth, It was different this time, Drogon is alert and on vendetta mood over the death of Rhaegal, he calculated his moves by flying low and fast and didn't give time for the pirates to maneuver or position their scorpions!
A ‘lifetime’ (30yrs?) of total love trumped ‘Fan Redemption assumptions’. Who of thunk’it?_ Jamie!
{Womb to Tomb} ‘Died in the arms of woman he loved’[sniffle sniffle. He never stopped being 'Jamie-honorable'_ to Cersei, Tyrion & Lannisters, his word to fight Wights.
(except, well there was that 1-night stand with Brienne. But everyone loved that, right, so it’s OK?
Dany: always had anger-management problems :) Danys' mercy was always ‘flip a coin’ when you were in the way of her Queenship & Vengeance for many seasons. Advisers would cock-block her killing(sometimes). Now they're dead as Ned!
I'm sure the books now are going to be all about Jon becoming the Mad King.
There were allways some hints on daenerys going mad but so fucking unexpected
I agree they are putting these episodes in fast forward instead of adding more episodes to tell the story properly
Definitely agree. It's been cranked up to at least 8 or 9. Although I feel that the show's producers cranked it up to 11. They could have just cranked it up to 10 and made it more intense, but no. They just had to put it in the script, "This goes up to 11"
Jamie has always been a fool for Ceresi. It's his weakness. No matter how much he has grown as a person, which has always been there but covered by his "King slayer" bravado and Cersei's bad influence. Lady Olenna had him pegged, " she'll be the death of you". So, as much as we would like him walk away , he always, always goes back to her. Maybe it's the pull of being a twin?
I dont have a problem with Dany going mad. I do have a problem with how fast it happened. Would have been so much better if they took a whole season of her slowly breaking down. I have to give props to Emilia Clarke though she acted it out beautifully
I feel you, little UA-camr, keep up the good work
So the thing with Varys. I believe it to be justified. I know some people were pissed that Tyrion turned him in but he never would have done it over a conversation. It was only when Varys implied Dany would have to die that Tyrion was not okay with. Varys just tried to poison Dany using that little girl (she is not eating m'lord) and like she said, the soldiers were watching. Tyrion only turned him in because he tried to kill Dany.
I have no issue with how Danny takes out the turrets, I had always wondered why the Night Kings dragon moved so fast but Danny never really did, and we finally see her utilise Drogon to the fullest extent, dive bombing from high enough that they cant shoot at her and takes them a while to see her, the fact she goes right past them then turns around while they are trying to spin the weapons, plus last time they were just chilling in the air, this time shes playing for keeps
Daenarys' father was 'INSANE', certifiably insane. Having a bad temper, a hot-headed temperament or being 'impulsive' or even 'entitled' does not make you 'certifiable'! Aerys went Mad over time, he was SICK. Dany was 'heartbroken', she does not have his excuse so we need to stop calling her MAD... she ain't crazy! And to the ELEPHANT in the room, Jon may now be UNCOMFORTABLE with their relationship but as far as Dany was concerned in their last meeting: She was talkin' to HER MAN! And the minute she said, "Well fear then" or "Fear it is" or WHATEVER she said that was the appropriate time to go TOTALLY MALE on her!
Love you, leadership ain't about someone liking you it's about service, they LOVED me, is that why they MURDERED me?!!! I will not be your excuse to hurt innocent people. Our personal problems don't have a damn thing to do with your being Queen! (Or rather in Jon fashion "I don't need your permission, I am a King!") Ultimately what happened is on Dany BUT many people played a role in all those innocents dying...
When it's appropriate to go there, you guys don't do it. It made just made him look WEAK, just as the writers wanted so now to 'counterman' that he's gonna get UNNECESSARILY ugly. (That is if Ayra don't kill her first!) And by the by, I did not appreciate Ms. Hostess with the mostess not walking over to Dany in the Banquet Hall, IN HER HOME, and not being 'gracious' enough to at ask the woman whether she was enjoying herself or needed anything!!! (RUDE!!!!)
Grayworm did not acknowledge that nod.
In an hour of screen time Dany went from breaker of chains to burner of innocent children for literally no reason. It's not an opinion that this season was rushed, its a fucking fact.
The signs were always there. Especially in the books.
But, you are right. It’s rushed.
