The shield Jon used to stop all of Ramsay's arrows was a Mormont shield, meaning that at least 1 of those 62 men made it all the way into Winterfell. When Lyanna said that they fight with the strength of 10 mainlanders, she wasn't lying. Lol.
FACTS 😆💯
Great comment. I missed that.
This is what o love about GoT, I’ve seen it 8+ times and am still learning facts and knowledgeable about the show
Nice catch..
Lyanna Mormont was a bad ass. I love how she took out a damn giant before she died.
One of the absolute best episodes of the whole show. That slowmo shot of John drawing his sword is so good.
The music with it kills it all!
Kit Harrington did an interesting deep dive on how the trampling scene was a metaphor for the real rebirth of Jon. Jon by the time of the battle is someone who's completely beaten down by circumstance. His increasingly agitated interactions with the people closest to him is reflective of his inner despondence and self-doubt. This is a man betrayed by his own Brothers. A man who's lost all faith. That now iconic single shot of Jon zig zagging through the battlefield dodging arrows and horses is the height of his resignation to fate. That's the point where he's on auto pilot, with a singular purpose to kill. Probably the only way to remain alive in a pitched battle like this, when you've already accepted you're as good as dead. But as the crush starts and he gets buried under a mass of humanity, that's when he's finally forced to slow down. There's a fleeting shot of his face where it seems like he's finally at peace with the end. But in this process of letting go, he also regains the humanity he had lost after being betrayed. From under that stampede he finds a new desire to live stronger than before, and as he comes up gasping for air, he emerges a man reborn. THIS, is the Resurrection of Jon Snow. Or as director Miguel Sapochnick called it, "the vaginal birthing shot" lol. Jon being raised above the stampede mirrors another similar turning point moment. To S3 finale "Mhysa" where Dany is held aloft the human tide, except the circumstance is turned over its head figuratively and literally. Btw after hearing the slow sad version for so long, that "triumphant reprise" of the Stark theme was a great use of emotive BGM.
Great comment
@@theConquerersMama Thanks!
He and Miguel also explained that something else was planned for the battle, but they ran out of money. And Miguel came up with this because he remembered that Kit said at some point that he has a fear of being trampled.
Fun fact: in the one take shot with Jon going through the battle, everything except the people jon kills is cgi generated. Insane work by the visual effects team. Favorite GoT episode and great reaction as always!
I didnt know that. I was wondering how they pulled that off😀
@@michaelgoodyear9369 corridor crew covers it in a vfx video and they break it down. Super interesting
@@bradybimson9106 i just watched that scene again. They did an awesome job for sure
It was really a One shot take???
@@realSimoneCherie no when certain items pass in front of the screen they stitch multiple shots together
Dany did end up listening to Tyrion. She only burned enough ships for the enemy to retreat, instead of killing every single one of them. She also didn't destroy any of their cities.
lady mormont said that each of the 62 soldiers she sent fights with the strength of 10 mainlanders, and she was right - jon picked up a mormont shield at the end, which i like to think that means someone from bear island made it all the way through the battle and into the final boss fight lol
Do you have any idea how difficult it is for those of us who've seen the series to wait for you to get to monumental episodes and react to them?! I hope you are enjoying the series as much as I am enjoying watching what you think of them!
I started after season 6. I don't know how you guys did it!
Remember what Sansa said about dont do what Ramsey wants. He lured Jon out so they abandoned the plan.
Exactly. As painful as Rickon’s death, Jon couldn’t try and save him. Rickon had to make it out on his own.
When Jon takes his belt off and faces the enemies that scene ALWASY give chills every single time.
He’s also wearing Ned’s armor from season 1
Every time.
WunWun was definitely a MVP man RIP to the big guy. I shed a tear when he died, and he was the last of his kind aswell.
I love that you mentioned the sad reality that even though she watched Ramsey die, Sansa will never be able to forget what he did to her for as long as she lives. I don't understand how any person could have it in them to do what he did to her. It's a sick and twisted world we live in. Thanks for pointing that out, it really shows how great of a person you are. God bless you brother.
Yeah, how difficult will it be for her to become physically intimate with her future partner after everything he did to her. Hopefully, time will help heal some of those wounds & whoever she decided to become close with will be a patient & loving partner who can help her to face & get through the trauma Ramsey imposed on her.
Luckily in the books, that didn't happen to her. Sansa and Ramsey never met or wed, it was sansa's friend who got married to him and since noone knew what sansa looked like, they just said it was her. And Ramsey in the books is 100x worse, a sadistic, cruel,demonic piece of shit
@@KeangoDLuke Ramsey married Jeyne Poole, who the Lannisters masqueraded as Arya Stark. Since no one in the series knows where the hell Arya is, they needed to pass a girl off as one of the Stark daughters.
@@rhaenyralikesyoutube6289 oh yeah, it was Arya they were dressing her up as.
The plan to not get hit from the sides was before jon fell for ramsays trap and ran out to middle of battle field and his whole army had to follow. They were supposed to stay back.
And Sansa warned him that Ramsay would try to trick him into making a mistake. She told him not to do what Ramsay wants him to do. Which is exactly why Ramsay let Rickon get so close to John before killing him. Because he knew Jon would rush in, and get into range of the archers.
I know we love to talk about the battle and rightfully so but man those shots with the dragons and Dany in Meereen are some next level ish man ! Just amazing !
One of the best moments in TV history. I love that shot of Jon pulling out his sword and facing a whole Calvary army by himself.
When I think of what it set out to achieve, purifying vengeance, Bastard Bowl fully lives up to its reputation. I'd say it still gets me hype just like it did when I first saw it, do they ever drop the motherload! After holding off for so long it's that pitch battle that we came close to many times but always got denied in the past. Which puts a bow to the frequently overlooked story spanning two whole seasons of the slow death of Jon's soul, a death more meaningful than the death of his flesh at the wall. A death that parallels the Northern death under Bolton yoke, with the Batttle of Winterfell being both their symbolic revival and restoration. This is probably my fav GoT episode. It can't be said enough that vengeance would not be as sweet as it was without that unique and prolonged buildup. It's the virtues of patience, good things come to those who wait.
The Battle of the Bastards.
The Winds of Winter (ep.10)
Are peak Game of Thrones. Absolutely sensational episodes.
7:55 I love that Greyworm killed the two that gave up their other leader. Such a good test to see which would live
18:32 That right there is my favorite scene of the whole show!🤩 And it was a real shot! Real horses going full speed towards Kit Harington 🔥
Epic shot for sure I agree
The scene when Jon sees Ramsay and Wun Wun and Tormund roll up into frame is literally one of my favorite scenes in the entire show. Talk about a Squad moment. And Sansa saved the day, ya know? At the cost of her pride with Littlefinger; but he owed her so much for giving her to the Bolton’s.
18:46 These shots are amazing during the battle, the way the horses just smash into eachover with such impact.
That shot of Jon facing the galloping battalion or watnot..does not get enuff credit...gives me goosebumps every single time!
Your words will disappear. Your house will disappear. Your name will disappear. All memory of you will disappear. Sansa Stark, the MVP of the North!
I've seen you do like 3 comments spunking over sansa. Chill
@@mxtt8899 let the man spunk over who he wants to smh.
@@xXSinForLifeXx it's abit weird tho
Sansa is a bit trash at the end of everything lmao
@@mxtt8899 We all like different characters it's not that weird.
It's not like he's saying he wants to have her babies or some shit lol.
When this came out, it was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen come out of a television. The build up to the battle made it 10x better
And then, the next week, episode 10 came out. 20x better? lol
After everything Sansa's been through, I'm so proud of the woman she's become. Her feeding Ramsey to his own dogs is such poetic justice, I'm so glad you loved the episode my man!
She’s grown so much man it’s awesome!
@@ItsAPrimatee really, i loved this episode but every time I rewatch it I am more angry than she did not tell john about the option of the knights of the vale, that could have been the end of everyone
@@miquelcanosasanteularia1678 i was just about to say that. Its her fault most of their men are dead. I never really liked her. Everything was always about her and she just kept making mistake after mistake. She's even worst next season. But she finally starts to learn by the end of next season.
Yeah she's grown so much, but not enough to open her mouth and tell John that she could help lol.
@@justinpeck6015 In the first season, Robb sent 2,000 of his soldiers to their deaths to capture Jaime. Sometimes you have to sacrifice someone. Otherwise, the battle would have turned into a long siege of the castle, which Stannis had already failed (and Sansa had witnessed this failure twice). Besides, Sansa hoped to eliminate all her problems with one maneuver. She purposely kept her only trump card in the form of a Little Finger until the very end. She purposely held all meetings with him behind John's back and did not talk about the potential help of the Vale's army. When John and Ramsey's troops came together in battle, Sansa tried to get rid of everyone: from Rickon who devalues Sansa's very existence. From John and the wildlings to whom he has already promised lands in the North. From the traitors the Ambers and the Karstarks. From the advisers of Stannis, who also did not recognize the independence of the North. And Sansa, at the right moment, brings the famous army of knights and finishes off hubby Ramsey, hoping that the other threats have already been eliminated. You can also see the obvious parallels between Sansa and Ramsey in their last dialogue. The lack of rights for both with a theoretically high position, the need to obey the "elders", the long-awaited receipt of the promised legacy and ... the threat of losing it all. Ramsey killed his father, stepmother and baby brother threatening his inheritance rights, and Sansa... Sansa tried to get rid of her brothers. Ramsey tells Sansa that he is now a part of her forever, and Sansa coolly watches as the dogs devour the one who knows her best, devouring her little secret at the same time
I said at the last finale that a constant theme of GoT is that every season people crave for a comeuppance, every season the carrot gets dangled and at the last moment it all gets snatched away brutally. A running gag of the show was people saying "if so and so dies (or don't die) I'm done!". But there's an allure to getting hit over the head with morbidity over and over again that made everyone keep coming back for more. Probably as you start sensing from the sheer build time alone that when you do get that elusive comeuppance, it'll be glorious. Well there it is at last. The payoff. Imo it's every bit as cathartic as it would be at the end of an excruciatingly long road full of heartbreaks. When we don't get that instant fanservice it's easy to lose sight of the fact that GoT had an ungodly amount of people hooked for the very reason that it didn't give you an inch, it made you go through the grinder first. But knowing when to pull the trigger is an art too. This was that moment. Lightning in a bottle. Goes without saying Bastards really captured the popular imagination. It used to be one of the most 'reacted to' tv episodes. You can see the gamot of emotions it brought out from fans who had hopelessly waited years for the Stark banner to fly over Winterfell again.Many say this is their fav battle sequence, for that Roman encirclement. I agree. It captures the random cruel chaoticness of war really well. This has gone down as an episode for the ages. I like the next one better.
It is one of the worst battles of the show
36:42 The travel time in the later season was a big talking point when this was airing live. Alot of people didn't really like that people started teleporting everywhere.
Battle of the Bastards. What an amazing insane balls to the wall episode. Mellisandre's prophesy of seeing the Bolton banners being lowered to the ground is fulfilled. After Episode 6 of Season 2, finally the North belongs to the Starks once more. It's a homecoming fitting for the Kings of Winter.
One of lady Mormont 62 men did serve a purpose. Came in clutch when Jon picked up a shield against Ramseys arrows.
When Davos picks up the toy and the crimson sky behind him looks like Shireen's funeral pyre...what a beautiful shot! And that shot of the white horse emerging out of the middle as all the horses charge is beautiful too! That Jon Ramsay shield moment, man I can rewind that a million times. The VFX Artists React channel did a frame by frame analysis of Battle of the Bastards a few months ago, it's got a million views. They basically called it one of the most realistic and meticulous examples of blending CGI and various other aspects of cinematography they've seen. All these years later it still holds up pretty well
Yes, that shot of Davos is pure art!
Absolute best depiction of the chaos of war. I’ve watched so many movies and shows about war and this episode here, to me, is the absolute best! Amazing episode. My favorite actually.
True. I love how this episode shows just how violent and gritty medieval war truly was.
First time I realized that it’s Carstark the Tormund kills after biting his ear off. So happy.
Enjoy the opening music in the next episode! It is one of the best pieces of music in television history!
Easily one of the best episodes in the entire series. So satisfying to see Ramsay bite the dust.
This episode had me in shock, I even teared up as John was almost trampled. And the end was wild. Ramsey‘s death was so satisfying to watch. Great reaction.
I wish I could go back and rewatch this episode for the first time again.
Regardless of what people say, season 6 is my fav and this is my fav episode of any TV show.
mine is massacre at hardholme but id say for sure one of the best battles
Even though this battle makes no strategic sense, it really is an amazing spectacle! Looks fantastic.
Who cares about strategy bro it’s the most epic shit ever made
And I think it actually makes sense it doesn't make strategic sense.
John was fighting on emotion and he was outnumbered. So yeah it was bound to look like a shitshow.
That's what makes sansa turning up with the army that much better because it was chaos.
@@JRF1004 i do
@@xXSinForLifeXx knights of the vale coming out of nowhere makes zero sense. its like the boltons dont have scouts or something. plus they cant cross the Neck rly if the place is guarded. visuallly stunning yes but rly bad
@@JRF1004 I hope youre meaning "most epic shit ever made" you mean inside got.
21:24 The trenches plan would only have been if Jon wasn't baited into losing his cool and forcing his army to rush in. They played right into Ramsay's hand.
26:00 I love that Jon uses a Mormont shield in that Ramsay fight!
I liked it the moment Drogon arrived, the soldiers with masters screaming Zaldrizes in wonder and fear..
Arguably, Battle of the Bastards is the best GoT episode of the entire show. The camera work alone is stellar. Greatness!
Camera work is definitely 10/10
Fuck no, the night was the best one but this a close second
@@dagreatestwonder23 no battle of bastards and hardhome assault is the top best episodes the night was ok
What an episode!! One of the best fight scenes around!
Brings me back when I first watched. I was literally standing and jumping in my living room. Freaked my dog out
The scene where the camera doesn't cut, and just follows Jon during the fight is my favorite scene in the entire show
One thing that gets me about this episode is that Sansa tells Ramsey before he’s devoured that he said his dogs haven’t eaten in days, but she had already ridden away when Ramsey tells Jon that.
When they follow John in his perspective around the battle 🤯🔥
When you first started this and said it was gonna be one a week I remember my first thought was “damn it’s gonna be like over a year till the battle of the bastards” … finally we’re here!
Holy fuck I'm here. Battle of the Bastards! Let's blaze!!!!!!!
He says he's ready, HE AIN'T READY 😂
Never have more people shouted "zig zag" Simultaneously at their TV 🤣
Ramsey: We have Winterfell.
Me: We have a Wun Wun.
"Here We Stand" are the Words of House Mormont of Bear Island. That shield Jon holds up to 1v1 Ramsey is a Mormont shield, and testament to the man's sword he holds; as well as that man's House saying "Here I Stand". Ser Jorah Mormont said the same to Prince Viserys when he tried to take the Eggs.
In the 1 v 1 of Jon and Ramsey, Jon grabs a shield to block Ramsey's arrows. The Sigel of that shield was from Bear Island. This proves having the 62 Mormont fighters made enough of a difference to help Jon Snow.
man the 1st person action is this battle was so gooood
Man this episode was easily the most stressful thing I’ve ever watched.
Art Patkinson (Rickon) tweeted next day after this episode was released: I had a good run. I should have zigged-zagged.
That one take of Jon is straight crazy they put all the budget into making this look crazy gritty.
Can we collectively decide to change "that was fire" to "that was dracaris"
Top 3 episodes of the show. So damn good.
This tv show looks better than most blockbuster movies!
BEEN WAITING 6 SEASONS FO THIS
I just love how it wasn't wasn't jon that gave the order, everyone just lost their shit and charged
It makes way more sense that the Boltons fall at the hands of the family they betrayed than Stannis. If the Boltons lost a season or two ago, it woulda been any. other. show. This is special because the river of shit you had to wade to get there. All the rage quit moments. Just think back how long it has been, where these characters were when we started. What other show would have the balls? Mellisandre saying "don't you wanna chase the rats out of Winterfell" or the "welcome home lady Stark, the North remembers". Nothing was given, they made you earn it. The pleasure of seeing Ramsay get fed to the dogs doesn't exist without that winter wedding, without that painful marriage arc. The last two episodes didn't exist in a random vacuum. All the prior season bleakness goes into creating the mood for the eventual turnover. *The longer the slowburn was the more memorable these moments became*. Argue with the combined 24 Emmys the two seasons won total.
The fan service with the last minute save (just like Stannis saving Jon in the book btw) might've been cliche for some of the fedora wearing quantum brains, but that didn't stop the episode from being ranked in IMDB's Top 10 TV Episodes List. BoTB was a massive hit and has since been ingrained in 2010s pop culture. That can't be erased retroactively.
Agree, but it is still very likely that Stannis will defeat Boltons in the books. Of course the situation is different there, because Ramsay and Sansa doesn't have any connection to each other in the books.
I wasn't even screaming for him to zig zag, RUN FOR THE FLAYED MEN. There were 3 big burning X's he could have ran for and used as cover while he ran at an angle 🤦♀️
Primate if you liked this episode, just wait to see the season finale, best episode in the entire show, music, story, performance, emotion, it has everything!
Small thing, but the other two dragons didn’t “break out” of the catacombs. The door was open, which I’m assuming Dany/Tyrion told some solider to do. The dragons just burned down the open entrance which was probably too small for them to fit through
I've waited sooo long for this!!!!! Next episode is an absolute banger as well! One of the best season finales on tv ever if you ask me
I literally have "conversations" with you each episode lol Glad we could have this chat 😂 Love that you're loving it!
Haha that’s awesome glad you enjoy the reactions!
Ugh! You omitted my fav line of the ep, “I never demand, but I’m up for anything really.” 💚
the battle of the bastards is amazing but that's not how actual battles took place. imagine charging into each other and not knowing who's on your side.
18:40 one of the greatest shots ever. One man, Jon, standing against the army ready to go!
I have been awaiting your reaction to this episode for too damn long. In my opinion this is one of, if not THE, best battle sequence ever composed for television.
Also you’ve mentioned that people have told you season 6 isn’t good?? I’m sorry but wtf? In what world? It’s easily my favorite season. Now I HAVE heard people say they disliked season 7 but I’m telling you now I don’t understand that either. Shit starts getting really epic, and just visually outstanding from here on out. Anyone in the comments here want to disagree with me, I don’t care, come fight me.
Oh yes been waiting. Blessed Sabbath Everyone ❤️
10 is my favourite in a cinematic sense.
The Battle of the Bastards is arguably the best battle in the history of television.
I Concur!
Imo battle of the wall and blackwater are better, but this is still great.
@@colemantrebor4944 battle of the wall is 🐐
This is just my opinion, but Attack on Titan's Battle of Shiganshina is way better.
Helms Deep the GOAT but this ones close
If you look at the shield Jon uses to block the arrows, it has a bear on it cuz that's the symbol of house Mormont, so one of the 62 Mormont soldiers actually got into the castle
17:17 the line everyone said after this episode
This is probably was probably the episode that blew my mind the most. It was just so epic and it had me on the edge of my seat and yelling, cheering, biting my nails, etc for thee entire episode like an incredible Super Bowl or March Madness game with my favorite team.
if you remember in the episode of the house of the undying the warlock told Dany, the Dragons were strongest in her presence. Thats how they broke out ;)
Sansa: "No one can protect anyone."
Arya: *attended No One Academy of Pentos
there is the meme, Rickon died cause he didnt know how to zig zag xD I swear their world is really tiny based on how fast people can move around :D
this to me remains to be the best battle scene on television to this day
18:35 CHILLS EVERY SINGLE TIME
Next episode has my favorite moment from GoT. From my fav character, Davos.
Also as my friend was there when shooting, he said Kit is a great guy but he can't get on a horse for shit 😂 he said it took so many takes 😂
“Sansa come get a hit” lmaooooo
Zigzag Dammit!
Also, won-won should've been armed with a tall pine tree. He would look like Sauron out there
I love how sansa just became a mix of little finger and Cersei (and a bit of Ramsey as well). It's awesome
20:45 That did have a plan but John charging into battle and making the army follow him threw that out the window.
I think Sir Davis and the wildlings were waiting back to protect from the flank aswell but they had to help John in the end.
I believe that George RR Martin had a hand in a lot of the important plot pieces post Season 4 still, (like giving some unreleased book sequel information to the producers D&D) which is why you probably enjoy this show still.
But everything that leads up and how those plot pieces come into fruition, he had no part in. Which is why there is a lot of anger about the show post S4.
You’ll probably understand it in the whole spectrum of things once you finish the show.
The fundamental difference between Danny & Jon, is Danny chooses to fight and kill to further her own ambition; whereas Jon is more forced into fighting in order to protect his friends and family. It’s a song of ice and fire, although Jon’s path is a better one. I also think you missed the image of Jon has to fight to rise from all the mud, blood and shit out of the crowd. It was a very similar scene to the one where Danny is lifted above the throng of slaves. Both scenes symbolised a kind of resurrection, where both Danny and Jon come into power.
The last episode 9 of the whole series, and also the only satisfying one!
The entire social media world after this episode “ZIG ZAG Rickon ZIG ZAG!!”
Running in serpentine pattern wouldn't have done anything as there were hundreds of archers with their bows pointed at Rickon. The close range combat, the human pile, the stomping, even the horse charge was real. The horses charged full speed and stopped about five feet from him. No room for error. The filming location was a field in Belfast, in mud, dirt and rain over weeks with an unprecedented number of extras. The CGI is simply impeccable. The two nitpicks about the battle : one is about Jon being too lucky. If that epic one-take makes him look too "lucky", that's deliberately done to show no amount of skill would save you in a battle without luck. The camera follows him, but he's not the only one going through the exact same hell. All hundreds or thousands of survivors in every medieval battle had the same "luck". Jon didn't chase Ramsay cause he was fooled our lured out, he chased Ramsay cause he wanted to die. The other one is about the Vale being ex machina. Well sometimes predictability is good. The long list of subversions it took to get here counterbalances the ex machina. The logistics isn't much different from Stannis arriving at the Wall or Tywin's at KL. Sansa didn't tell Jon cause honorable Jon "Stark" would've outright rejected Baelish's offer. No wonder the episode was as hugely popular as it was, they aimed to satisfy the masses and not the forums, who'll always be unsatisfied with everything. The finale has a lifetime worth of shockers, so this was the perfect opportunity to give that rare happy ending.
If they did something subversive, the same people would’ve cried about it too just like they cried about Mother's Mercy.
They did have a solid plan. But, Jon fucked it up when he was goaded into charging the Bolton lines by himself instead of waiting.
Next episode is gonna blow your mind. Certainly one of the best in TV history.
We knew for a fact you were gonna love Battle of the Bastards 😊😊🔥🔥
10:17 flash backs to Cersei ripping King Roberts paper saying Ned would serve as protector of the realm in season 1.
If Jon hadnt ridden out and been clownd on by Ramsay then he would not have gotten a majority of his army killed real leader there
27:52 Sansas come along way man her revenge on Ramsey was so good. You can see on her face aswell she has changed so much.
In my opinion this is one of the most epic battles of the whole series... So far
That sounds fire.
Season 6 is my favorite season. I think because it was the first beyond the books. So many grest episodes. The Door, The Battle of the Bastards, Dani acquiring her Dothraki Horde, and....more to come.
