IGLI IS A SWEET SUMMER CHILD NO LONGER! Thank you for watching Game of Thrones with us over the past year and a half! ❤ We'll have a special episode releasing an hour after this one! And we'll be reacting to GOT Season 8 Histories and Lore soon!
You guys talking about how Bran was actually a mastermind made me think. Didnt the previous three eyed raven live way longer than a normal human character? Bran is the only living person who knows this (Unless Mira Reed survived somehow). So Bran's accepting the thrown "until his last day" is actually crazy! He would outlive the entire council that elected him and could rewrite the rules for the future to be however he wanted. The council elected Bran thinking they might get maybe 60 years before the next election. But it could be centuries!
@@woahblackbettybamalam oh dont get me wrong i agree that they were both dumb decisions BUT i think its fitting for his character to be a little dumb just like his “dad” Ned also made dumb decisions , for example telling cersie that he knows about her and jaime so its not just about “oh season 7&8 were bad therefor jon made bad decision” , no thats just their characters
Igli (re. Cersei's death): What did you expect? Me: FOR HER TO DIE THE HORRIBLE PAINFUL DEATH SHE DESERVED ON CAMERA!!!! And for her to NOT get to go out in the arms of the man she loved. She did not deserve any peace or comfort in her final moments.
Jon and Jaime deserved so much more. The most interesting character arcs just thrown into the wind. Jaime who had the best redemption arc and was such a multi layered character ends up being crushed by bricks? And Jon? Don't even get me started with Jon, the archnemesis of the Night King and the hidden Prince, the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen not just doesn't get to kill the Night King, but also gets completely f*cked over by everyone and gets sent back to the wall to die out in oblivion as well as house Targaryen with him. Just insanely stupid.
Actually there is no nights watch, Bran knows this and he has to do something to satisfy Grayworm so he does not kill Jon. Jon doesn't stay at the wall, he goes north with the wildlings as Bran knew he would. I do agree that Jon should have killed the Night King.
Not the dumbest line in the show, the truest line in the show, the 3 eyed raven had literally spent over 100 years to get to be King, it was his whole mission, his ultimate end goal, a multiple lifetimes of playing a game of chess, with the cheat code of being able to see the opponents’ moves before they made them. The Rook took out the Queen to get checkmate.
In my mind, if Jon can be revived by the Lord of Light, so can Dany, she can come back with Drogon and burn them all, and let's not forget to include Sansa in that pyre. I will die on that Sansa hating hill (or rather how dumb they wrote her and everyone else's end)...and poor Brienne, relegated to a simpering jilted fangirl
Tyrion throwing away "The Hand" badge is literally me losing my respect for this show knowing this is the ending we get 😑😑😑 5 years later and it still stings.
Blake - hugs first off. I felt the same exact frustration about the finale of this beloved show. It seemed anti-climactic in my opinion. I felt invested every season till episode 3 of this last season when they battled at Winterfell, but once Cersei was left to deal with and Rhaegal was shot down out of nowhere, I was checked out. Not to say I feel the whole show is tainted because I still love this show. By far, it holds some of the best dialogues and scenes of any show I’ve watched in my adult life, but the last 3 episodes of this last season don’t exist to me. Even after re-watching it over the years, I’ve still come to the same disappointing conclusion. But that’s just me. Keep up the reactions boys! 🫶🏼
Exactly, although I would say the 3 eyed raven, Bran no longer exists, he was taken over by the 3 eyed raven, it possessed Bran’s body as human form host
i don't think i was happy with a single characters end in this. but for one specific example of bad writing.. it annoys the F out of me with jon going back to the wall.. it was already written so beautifully how your "watch ends" when you die.. and jon did die.. which gave him the out to leave the black and still hold his honour.. him returning to the wall completely destroys that amazing piece of small writing from the story. as a lover of the books that have been out, i really hope the conspiracy of him giving a diff ending to d&d is true.. but i doubt he's going to be finishing up the books at this point either way, which sucks.
I think you need to rewatch the last minute of the episode. Jon and the wildlings go north of the wall, the place that Tormund said Jon really belongs.
@@raymondgraber9629 oh.. i hadn't rewatched the series since the first time i did, and since the books arent out.. it mustve just slipped my memory. i appreciate the reminder though.. i still don't particularly like it and would much rather have had him and Arya go explore the West together.. at least give a conscious effort of awarding two of the most, imo, worthy remaining Starks to escape and be together after all the tragedy. but yeah, good on going north of the wall, at least, bc taking the black again would've really killed that great written story of how Jon was able to leave the crows with honour.
Jon's punishment was stupid. not only is there not a Nights Watch anymore (or if there this Jon's the only member),but also there's a new kingdom inbetween, ruled by his sister, while the six kingdoms are ruled by his brother. Jon's as free as he wants to be.
I'm with you Blake. I've never stopped hating this episode. When this season originally aired, there were so many "leaks" and while some of them were real, a lot of them were fake, so when I saw a supposed leak that revealed Bran would be king, I thought it was a hilarious fake leak. I had a bunch of people over for the finale and I'd told them I'd seen the funniest fake leak ever, but when Tyrion said "stories" I realized what was about to happen and full on stood up and walked out of the room at my own party. I don't know what's dumber, deciding on your king based on who has the coolest story, or the leaders of all of the noble families UNANIMOUSLY agreeing to put an unqualified Stark in charge. Maybe the thing I hate most is that after Sansa just declares independence for the North, no one else goes "huh, yeah us too". Really? Yara Greyjoy? Dorne? No one else would like to withdraw from the Kingdoms if it's going to be that easy?? Forever so disappointing
The seven kingdoms dissolving completely into what it was before Aegons Conquest would have been the only thing in the last season that actually made sense
Jon and tyrions and aryas plot armor is ridiculous. Drogon wouldve killed him if the writers had a brain. Dragons dont protect just anybody, only their riders.
The fact that Blake called Cersei the greatest villain in TV history, in a show that had the White Walkers and Euron Greyjoy, says everything about the missed potential of this show in the latter seasons.
Daenerys Targaryen will always be my queen. 🔥❤️🖤 FIRE AND BLOOD🖤❤️🔥 I absolutely hate this season but I truly do appreciate the actors and the behind the scenes crew on set and editing for doing what they could with the sh*t writing they were given. This season truly did give me a good experience with visuals (except for the one episode)and the costumes and cgi on some things. Also I would like to say Drogon is the most loyal character on this show, he had to see his brothers and mother die tragically, but at the very end of it all said f*ck your throne I'm taking my mom and leaving, he protected her, loved her, and understood her. He was always there for his momma.
I'm with Blake here guys. The amount of stupidity piling up step after step in this episode is properly representing this season. Grey Worm teleporting ahead of Jon, Drogon understanding symbolism so he burns the chair, literally everything about Bran, why Tyrion decides who will be king wasn't he supposed to be a prisoner? Grey Worm knows absolutely nothing about Westeros but he is fine with Jon going to the Wall as a punishment as if he knows what the F that means. Arya going West to further emphasize how useless her entire arc and her training has been and where the F was Jon going beyond the wall anyway? Ghawd I hate everything about this episode lol. That scene between the siblings was indeed nice tho. @ Blake At least there is one thing that makes me really happy. D&D didn't get their Star Wars trilogy, the reason they've rushed the last two seasons. They didn't get to fuck up SW with their incompetent writing, KK was perfectly capable to do that without their help.
Let's think about this for a moment. Bran is King of the 6 Kingdoms. He accepted the Norths recession from the fold. Bran charged Jon with the Nights Watch...a force that once operated in a territory that Bran no longer has dominion of. The King literally can't banish people to the wall as watchmen. Jon can't be King of the North because the King of the 6 Kingdoms stripped him of titles and land...Somehow that means the North even though they are independent. Jon can literally go be the King in the North and Bran holds 0 authority over it given the North no longer falls within his rule. The North can easily elect a person exiled from the South as King. In essence, Bran banned Jon from residing in the North Kingdom despite the fact that he doesn't have the authority to make that call. The Nights Watch doesn't exist anymore, with the assumption that their purpose has been met, Jon can make the Nights Watch whatever he pleases, or whatever Sansa demands given she is the Queen of the North and would oversee the border where the Nights Watch is stationed. Jon goes beyond the wall which doesn't fall in line with the purpose of the Nights Watch to keep the wall defended from attacks via Wildlings and White Walkers assuming their same duty is implied. Children of the Forest were never confirmed to have been wiped out, meaning creating another Night King is entirely possible. So Jon obeys banishment but doesn't follow what his role as a member of the Nights Watch demands despite the fact that the Night King's death does not mean that White Walkers won't ever attack again. Children of the Forest are still in hiding up North and have every reason to create a better controlled Night King to wage war against men. It's like nobody who read or wrote this script bothered to consider the implications from any decisions being made here.
King Bran came from GRRM, King Bran was always the plan, and King Bran will happen in the books (if we ever get them). Unfortunately the show was never gonna be as good as the books and many characters and plots were never done justice. In the books 'King Bran' will be done right and make sense, and there are actually quite a lot of clues and symbolism pertaining to 'King Bran' in the books, some on the surface, some between the lines, and some only within the deep lore.
I always laugh when Bran says, why do you think i came all this way. I really don't think he was manipulating his way to breathing king; he just had seen the future and knew what was coming. Just like he knew Theon would die protecting him and give Arya enough time to kill the Night King. I disagree with Cersei's death. The prophecy was that she'd die with her brother's hands on her throat. I long guessed it would be Jaime and not Tyrion, but i fully expected she would be strangled by him, not embraced. So disappointing lol
He was, that was his sole purpose, over a century of manipulation to get to the very point where he was make the King, it was exactly what he wanted and so hence the line, which is probably the most truthful line in the show, he played the longest of long games and succeeded, got exactly what he wanted
I'm with Blake. The entire season was intolerable. It couldn't have been more badly written than it was. The showrunners put effort into making the worst they could create.
Here's the thing, Dany was always supposed to get there. I know it's hard for her fans to realise it but them liking her rise was always sort of the point in that she is built like a messiah but the turn is she will become a villain cause of that messiah complex. She wants to build a better World but the concept of her is "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions". The Throne is like the ring in LOTR in that no matter what it will corrupt you. She wanted to free people and get the Throne to do it but in the end the Throne won out over the people. Bear in mind the writers were horrible in getting her there. But that was always the plan. Like the idea of her slaughtering after she had won the battle was just stupid. They could have created a real conflict where people outright rejected her. And then she had a decision to make in a brief span out of time. But they didn't do that.
That's the thing though. If her decent was written well, her fans would have lost love for her just like the characters. Almost like a polar opposite of Jaime. But the execution was so rushed and so poorly written that it just made her fans angry at the writers.
“robin, who invited you, man?” 😂😂 jon’s emotional goodbyes with sansa and arya vs bran going “thanks for making sure i get to be king bro” always kills me. what a scene i do enjoy who makes up the small council in the end, just a veritable group of fan favs 😅 i love sansa’s royal dress at the end and jon and ghost reuniting. the rest of the season ehhhhhh
Blake looks like he's suffering throughout the reaction except for the master of grammar part😂 Personally, I don't mind the Bran became King, but when Tyrion said it's the story and told Bran's story, it should be cool but it doesn't really sell it for me, so it felt weird to me. For Sansa, I think she does want to be queen, but she never takes it over her family or people in the line, likr when Jon was king, she helped him, when Bran's back, she's ready to give up the lady of Winterfell bcs by right he's the lord of Winterfell now. She didn't propose herself when they were choosing a king/queen, she only did what Robb and the north has been wanting since Robb was at war, the dependance for the north. And she was in the best position to negotiate for that, the north has sacrificed so much and the king is her brother who's also northerner, but I agree with Igli, I don't like her crown😂
DANY IS LITERALLY MAGIC! SHE CAN LITERALLY WITHSTAND FIRE! SHE IS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE UNIVERSE THAT CAN WALK THROUGH FIRE AND CONTROL DRAGONS THE WAY SHE CAN (INCLUDING OTHER TARGARYENS). ALL THAT JUST SO SHE CAN HIT HER "CRAZY GIRL" ARC AND BE KILLED. NAW, SCREW THAT. I DEMAND A TRIAL BY COMBAT WITH D&D!
Blake was always the goat now i know why 😂 never agreed more with everything a reactor ever said before lmao. Dany will always be my fav and the best of the show.
I believe it ended how it was supposed to, but the writers didn't get it to that point. I said from the beginning that Dany would become the mad queen, but they made her that in one episode, which didn't make sense. I believe Bran was supposed to become king, but they didn't know how to write that part correctly. I think blood raven from the books has that part in Bran becoming king, but dumb and dumber didn't write that part of story, so it didn't make sense. If they didn't want to go on with the show, they should of handed it off to different writers. Also, HBO should of taken it from them. They really deserve their careers ruined for taking the best show on TV and destroying it. GRRM needs to fix it, but he's getting just as bad by putting all the blame on everyone else instead of writing an ending we can get on board with.
Aboht Dany, I do agree with Blake. I think if they want her to become mad queen, they could have write a better story for it. I understand that there are already some signs, losses and betrayal that lead her to this point, but I remember watching it for the first time and be like.. What? She suddenly became mad? If they really put an effort into it, if we have more episode, her story might have been sad and tragic but in a good way like a good villian origin, but this felt rush and looks like bad writing to me.
I understand the writers wanting to go with the whole “mad” queen thing but they needed more time. Up until she decided to burn all those innocent people, she was still good. Every decision she had made seemed fair to me, I mean we cant just expect her to always spare people in a war. Maybe if there was like one more season where we saw her really do cruel things then I would have liked the ending more. ALSO bran had said before that he didn’t want to be king or wasn’t supposed to be king but then suddenly he says “why do you think I came here”???
Stupidest ending and dialogue of any show I've ever seen. Sansa: "The north will remain a separate kingdom". Everyone else says sure, why not? Instead of a more realistic response. Bran the broken has the best story???? Hah! He's the one character that D &D had no idea what to do with so Bran did absolutely nothing as the Three Eyed Raven. Davos suggesting that Eunuchs go somewhere and start their own house?? How if they can't father children?? Just a piece of crappy work. ETA: that's besides the stupid lines they gave people. Arya "I know a killer when I see one" (After Dany slaughtered a city). If John said She is/you are my queen one more time, i think i would've vomited because that's 80% of his dialogue for the last few episodes. Where did his brain go? Besides the fact that she gave her speech in another language to the troops, How the heck did John, Tyrian, Arya and everyone else understand what she said? WHO was the Quality Assurance person who reviewed the script and story line??!!
The visuals, the music, the costume and set design, the dedication of the actors... season 8 had a lot of people working hard on it but D+D just decided nah. So many people did so goooood regarding their job, but the story and the writing were abysmal at this point...
"So D, at this point in the story we've killed off most of the villains, how do we end Daenerys' story?" "Eh. I've lost George's notes. She has dragons and loves the color black. Just press the "she becomes fascist and evil" button, have Jon kill her, say it was Bran playing 5D-Chess the whole time and call it a day. Everyone will love it. Besides, we've got some Star Wars to work on and a pile of money to roll around in." I wish I could make more jokes about Drogon melting the throne but it's so painfully stupid to me how the dragons were portrayed as mindless animals the entire show and it is only at the very end here Drogon gains the ability to mourn bodies or decide to destroy political symbology to achieve a lasting goal. I hope you enjoyed the series Igli, congrats. Highlight of this episode is that I disliked this episode so much I had forgotten the Brienne scene completely, and that's probably the most beautiful moment.
I have enjoyed watching this with you gents. I didn’t hate it as much as everyone else seems to. The Starks were successful and won in the end and I’m fine with that. Looking forward to watching something else with y’all.
They didnt, they literally split the country in half. And all of it makes 0 sense. Why will sansa become a kingdom when her brother is king in the south? Why would the southerners have a foreign king? One of the many plots that made no sense. And Arya was very bad at her training in Braavos and old of a sudden she's a bad ass? Lmao.
That I only thought about it this reaction. I put a notepad screen over Blake's face. Made for such a more enjoyable watching experience. Thank god Igli's reaction seemed unprejudiced and wasn't afraid to point out the scenes he enjoyed and his overall nuanced opinion about the episode. Daenerys is my favorite character too. I wasn't too happy first time watching season 8 as well. But I have seen all of GoT dozens of times since then, and I came to like Daenerys villain arc. And if you're open to it. You see that her motives were always more egocentrical than altruistic. She wanted power, she wanted to be worshipped, and breaking the wheel was only secondary to that. And she did plenty of bad shit in previous seasons as well. To me, Daenerys is the best, most nuanced, most fleshed out villain in the history of television. RIP.
I am not picky and liked all seasons up to The Bells episode. Yes, it sucked that the seasons got short and last episode was truly rushed. Other than that, it was a great show, if you don’t like it make your own show.
You do realize everyone who claims to be smarter than everyone else and claim that dany was always evil and bad only they saw it are rightly viewed as ignorant losers right?
We can all agree that season 8 definitely needed more work, but we can still give Game of Thrones it's flowers for being by far one of the GREATEST series on tv. I don't feel the ending should ruin its legacy.
Too late for that. Now every GoT related property has a black cloud hanging over it because of the ending being trash, until there’s a good adaptation of GRRMs work that black cloud will never go away
Did not like this season past episode 2. Has some good shots and effects. Loved the season and lore of this season, loved the suspense hated the plot and the sense of rush.
I’m not bothered that Dany burned down the city. She had many losses and betrayals, and her best friend and advisor’s last words were Dracarys! If the stupid show runners wanted to film Kings Landing’s destruction, they should have had it taken over by the White Walkers, and then Dany & Drogon could come in and burn it down. Very stupid to ruin such a loved character. Sansa becoming Queen in the North was a joke. Arya not being assassinated by the Faceless Men was weak. I seriously hated her threatening Yara, who was rightfully loyal to Dany. Bran becoming King laughable. Pretty bad finale all around, but visually stunning.
IGLI IS A SWEET SUMMER CHILD NO LONGER!
Thank you for watching Game of Thrones with us over the past year and a half! ❤
We'll have a special episode releasing an hour after this one!
And we'll be reacting to GOT Season 8 Histories and Lore soon!
Blake deserves a medal for his patience. I could feel his anger boiling by the final scene 😂We need a GOT livestream discussion!
Brienne folding that book before the ink dried is the perfect metaphor for this season
Smudges smudges!!
Classic...
Thinking the same thing for the first time after watching this series an unbelievable amount of times.
Catelyn wrote the ending :
* Bran is king.
* Sensa is queen (of another kingdom)
* Arya does what she wants
* Jon is sent away
The revenge of Lady Stoneheart. 😂
OMG, Blake looks so disgusted! 🤣
Can you blame him?
@woahblackbettybamalam I certainly cannot. Jam a lam!!! 😂
Blake his reaction to danys death is way too real
My favorite part of the season 8 reactions is Igli's jovially questioning the inconsistencies, Blake's seething contempt, and Corey's indifference.
Dany deserved better
WELL better. She should have been sitting the throne with Jon by her side and end of the story.
Exactly!
@@Alejojojo6avengers ahhh ending
Definitely. She died a queen. Every other villian and evil character was empathized on the show. Such a shame 😂
@@Alejojojo6 thats not game of thrones im sorry
10:37 "I know a killer when I see one" ......Gee Arya what gave it away? What an inciteful comment lol
This might be my most hated line behind "why do you think I came all this away" and "you want a bad girl but you need bad 😺".
And we're here. I want to thank you guys for sharing Igli's journey
24:58- I'm with Blake, I roll my eyes every time I hear this line. In either case, I'm kinda sad we're done, I really enjoyed rewatching with y'all!
But it’s the truth, what he said was the truest line in the show
You guys talking about how Bran was actually a mastermind made me think. Didnt the previous three eyed raven live way longer than a normal human character? Bran is the only living person who knows this (Unless Mira Reed survived somehow). So Bran's accepting the thrown "until his last day" is actually crazy!

17:45 Dont worry blake.... the suffering is over, thank f**k 😂👍
Every frame of this reaction, is a version of a pissed off blake. Every pause is a laughter.
Thinking about it Jon could've lied and said Daenarys dissappeared with Drogon .There was no body, no evidence, no witnesses
"When enough people make false promises, words stop meaning anything. Then there are no more answers, only better and better lies" -Jon Snow
@@pariamtzv Yes but that was in the context of another dumb decision of his lol
@@woahblackbettybamalam oh dont get me wrong i agree that they were both dumb decisions BUT i think its fitting for his character to be a little dumb just like his “dad” Ned also made dumb decisions , for example telling cersie that he knows about her and jaime
so its not just about “oh season 7&8 were bad therefor jon made bad decision” , no thats just their characters
Igli (re. Cersei's death): What did you expect?
Me: FOR HER TO DIE THE HORRIBLE PAINFUL DEATH SHE DESERVED ON CAMERA!!!! And for her to NOT get to go out in the arms of the man she loved. She did not deserve any peace or comfort in her final moments.
The attempted whitewashing of her entire character at the very end is laughingly bad
Jon and Jaime deserved so much more. The most interesting character arcs just thrown into the wind.
Jaime who had the best redemption arc and was such a multi layered character ends up being crushed by bricks? And Jon? Don't even get me started with Jon, the archnemesis of the Night King and the hidden Prince, the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen not just doesn't get to kill the Night King, but also gets completely f*cked over by everyone and gets sent back to the wall to die out in oblivion as well as house Targaryen with him.

Grey Worm knows absolutely nothing about Westeros but he is fine with Jon going to the Wall as a punishment as if he knows what the F that means. Arya going West to further emphasize how useless her entire arc and her training has been and where the F was Jon going beyond the wall anyway?
Ghawd I hate everything about this episode lol. That scene between the siblings was indeed nice tho.
@ Blake
At least there is one thing that makes me really happy. D&D didn't get their Star Wars trilogy, the reason they've rushed the last two seasons. They didn't get to fuck up SW with their incompetent writing, KK was perfectly capable to do that without their help.
I’m with Blake I loathe the end of her and yes Blake gets it!
Let's think about this for a moment.
Bran is King of the 6 Kingdoms. He accepted the Norths recession from the fold.
Bran charged Jon with the Nights Watch...a force that once operated in a territory that Bran no longer has dominion of. The King literally can't banish people to the wall as watchmen.
Jon can't be King of the North because the King of the 6 Kingdoms stripped him of titles and land...Somehow that means the North even though they are independent.
Jon can literally go be the King in the North and Bran holds 0 authority over it given the North no longer falls within his rule. The North can easily elect a person exiled from the South as King.
In essence, Bran banned Jon from residing in the North Kingdom despite the fact that he doesn't have the authority to make that call.
The Nights Watch doesn't exist anymore, with the assumption that their purpose has been met, Jon can make the Nights Watch whatever he pleases, or whatever Sansa demands given she is the Queen of the North and would oversee the border where the Nights Watch is stationed.
Jon goes beyond the wall which doesn't fall in line with the purpose of the Nights Watch to keep the wall defended from attacks via Wildlings and White Walkers assuming their same duty is implied.
Children of the Forest were never confirmed to have been wiped out, meaning creating another Night King is entirely possible.
So Jon obeys banishment but doesn't follow what his role as a member of the Nights Watch demands despite the fact that the Night King's death does not mean that White Walkers won't ever attack again. Children of the Forest are still in hiding up North and have every reason to create a better controlled Night King to wage war against men.
It's like nobody who read or wrote this script bothered to consider the implications from any decisions being made here.
Okay in the end- it was a fun show, the best cinema, and a lot of fun I’d say to watch you guys react to. The ending was bittersweet.
You guys should do a character tier list
... and now Igli's watch has ended.
Not the most popular opinion. I loved the series, and thought it ended well. Great reactions all.
Best season!! Watching the guy on the left is exactly why hahaha
“Are you Jon snow?” Is the question everyone asks themselves since Jon meets Dany
King Bran came from GRRM, King Bran was always the plan, and King Bran will happen in the books (if we ever get them).
Unfortunately the show was never gonna be as good as the books and many characters and plots were never done justice. In the books 'King Bran' will be done right and make sense, and there are actually quite a lot of clues and symbolism pertaining to 'King Bran' in the books, some on the surface, some between the lines, and some only within the deep lore.
I always laugh when Bran says, why do you think i came all this way.
I really don't think he was manipulating his way to breathing king; he just had seen the future and knew what was coming. Just like he knew Theon would die protecting him and give Arya enough time to kill the Night King.
I disagree with Cersei's death. The prophecy was that she'd die with her brother's hands on her throat. I long guessed it would be Jaime and not Tyrion, but i fully expected she would be strangled by him, not embraced. So disappointing lol
He was, that was his sole purpose, over a century of manipulation to get to the very point where he was make the King, it was exactly what he wanted and so hence the line, which is probably the most truthful line in the show, he played the longest of long games and succeeded, got exactly what he wanted
I'm with Blake. The entire season was intolerable. It couldn't have been more badly written than it was. The showrunners put effort into making the worst they could create.
Here's the thing, Dany was always supposed to get there. I know it's hard for her fans to realise it but them liking her rise was always sort of the point in that she is built like a messiah but the turn is she will become a villain cause of that messiah complex. She wants to build a better World but the concept of her is "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions". The Throne is like the ring in LOTR in that no matter what it will corrupt you. She wanted to free people and get the Throne to do it but in the end the Throne won out over the people.
Bear in mind the writers were horrible in getting her there. But that was always the plan. Like the idea of her slaughtering after she had won the battle was just stupid. They could have created a real conflict where people outright rejected her. And then she had a decision to make in a brief span out of time. But they didn't do that.
That's the thing though. If her decent was written well, her fans would have lost love for her just like the characters. Almost like a polar opposite of Jaime. But the execution was so rushed and so poorly written that it just made her fans angry at the writers.
@@combinestrider117 Agree
“robin, who invited you, man?” 😂😂
jon’s emotional goodbyes with sansa and arya vs bran going “thanks for making sure i get to be king bro” always kills me. what a scene
i do enjoy who makes up the small council in the end, just a veritable group of fan favs 😅 i love sansa’s royal dress at the end and jon and ghost reuniting. the rest of the season ehhhhhh
And now his watch has ended....
no way ligli stayed strong through the last month.
he deff watched it and didnt tell us lol~
Blake looks like he's suffering throughout the reaction except for the master of grammar part😂
Personally, I don't mind the Bran became King, but when Tyrion said it's the story and told Bran's story, it should be cool but it doesn't really sell it for me, so it felt weird to me.
For Sansa, I think she does want to be queen, but she never takes it over her family or people in the line, likr when Jon was king, she helped him, when Bran's back, she's ready to give up the lady of Winterfell bcs by right he's the lord of Winterfell now. She didn't propose herself when they were choosing a king/queen, she only did what Robb and the north has been wanting since Robb was at war, the dependance for the north. And she was in the best position to negotiate for that, the north has sacrificed so much and the king is her brother who's also northerner, but I agree with Igli, I don't like her crown😂
DANY IS LITERALLY MAGIC! SHE CAN LITERALLY WITHSTAND FIRE! SHE IS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE UNIVERSE THAT CAN WALK THROUGH FIRE AND CONTROL DRAGONS THE WAY SHE CAN (INCLUDING OTHER TARGARYENS). ALL THAT JUST SO SHE CAN HIT HER "CRAZY GIRL" ARC AND BE KILLED. NAW, SCREW THAT.
I DEMAND A TRIAL BY COMBAT WITH D&D!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Blake was always the goat now i know why 😂 never agreed more with everything a reactor ever said before lmao. Dany will always be my fav and the best of the show.
I believe it ended how it was supposed to, but the writers didn't get it to that point. I said from the beginning that Dany would become the mad queen, but they made her that in one episode, which didn't make sense. I believe Bran was supposed to become king, but they didn't know how to write that part correctly. I think blood raven from the books has that part in Bran becoming king, but dumb and dumber didn't write that part of story, so it didn't make sense. If they didn't want to go on with the show, they should of handed it off to different writers. Also, HBO should of taken it from them. They really deserve their careers ruined for taking the best show on TV and destroying it. GRRM needs to fix it, but he's getting just as bad by putting all the blame on everyone else instead of writing an ending we can get on board with.
Sadt to see you guys gone from my playlist. Take care.
Aboht Dany, I do agree with Blake. I think if they want her to become mad queen, they could have write a better story for it. I understand that there are already some signs, losses and betrayal that lead her to this point, but I remember watching it for the first time and be like.. What? She suddenly became mad? If they really put an effort into it, if we have more episode, her story might have been sad and tragic but in a good way like a good villian origin, but this felt rush and looks like bad writing to me.
Have you seen/reacted to pitch meetings of GoT by Ryan George?
B-Blake….. y-you good man?
For me: could have been a cool story if they made that extra season. And didn’t rush the storyline and worked on it
I didnt know Dany was Blake's fav character... how did i miss that?
Blake - why don’t you write your alternate happy every after ending you think is deserving and share it with us?
I understand the writers wanting to go with the whole “mad” queen thing but they needed more time. Up until she decided to burn all those innocent people, she was still good. Every decision she had made seemed fair to me, I mean we cant just expect her to always spare people in a war. Maybe if there was like one more season where we saw her really do cruel things then I would have liked the ending more. ALSO bran had said before that he didn’t want to be king or wasn’t supposed to be king but then suddenly he says “why do you think I came here”???
Awww, not Bridgerton! I was hoping for True Blood.
Why does grey worm hold so much influence? The remains of the unsullied are no match for those loyal to John
Are u serious. The unsullied and the Dothraki would wipe out the few northmen remaining. They hold the city and Jon is their prisoner
@ the Dothraki were wiped out
Stupidest ending and dialogue of any show I've ever seen. Sansa: "The north will remain a separate kingdom". Everyone else says sure, why not? Instead of a more realistic response. Bran the broken has the best story???? Hah! He's the one character that D &D had no idea what to do with so Bran did absolutely nothing as the Three Eyed Raven. Davos suggesting that Eunuchs go somewhere and start their own house?? How if they can't father children?? Just a piece of crappy work. ETA: that's besides the stupid lines they gave people. Arya "I know a killer when I see one" (After Dany slaughtered a city). If John said She is/you are my queen one more time, i think i would've vomited because that's 80% of his dialogue for the last few episodes. Where did his brain go? Besides the fact that she gave her speech in another language to the troops, How the heck did John, Tyrian, Arya and everyone else understand what she said? WHO was the Quality Assurance person who reviewed the script and story line??!!
Im really ok with Jon's ending, theres no nights watch needed, Bran sent him to be free of the game of thrones
*SO ITS BEGINS*
Cersei Lannister deserved a better ending than she was given
The visuals, the music, the costume and set design, the dedication of the actors... season 8 had a lot of people working hard on it but D+D just decided nah. So many people did so goooood regarding their job, but the story and the writing were abysmal at this point...
Shout out to Blake’s decision to sit there like petulant child cuz he doesn’t like the ending. I guess that’s one way to go about it.
Terrible episode. A real slap in the face.
Alright boys let’s close out this amazing series with this shit show of a season! Thanks for the entertainment yall. Thanks Igli!!!
This show was epic till sea 8 epi 3 and then ... Ugh
This episode should be a warning. Ptsd 4 everyone. Igly, man... I was on ur side. BAD.
Love ya Blake but for me it was always Jon the son(g) of ice and fire
😻😻😻
Ugh 😅lol y’all are the best to watch this crap finale ❤.
"So D, at this point in the story we've killed off most of the villains, how do we end Daenerys' story?"
"Eh. I've lost George's notes. She has dragons and loves the color black. Just press the "she becomes fascist and evil" button, have Jon kill her, say it was Bran playing 5D-Chess the whole time and call it a day. Everyone will love it. Besides, we've got some Star Wars to work on and a pile of money to roll around in."
I wish I could make more jokes about Drogon melting the throne but it's so painfully stupid to me how the dragons were portrayed as mindless animals the entire show and it is only at the very end here Drogon gains the ability to mourn bodies or decide to destroy political symbology to achieve a lasting goal.
I hope you enjoyed the series Igli, congrats. Highlight of this episode is that I disliked this episode so much I had forgotten the Brienne scene completely, and that's probably the most beautiful moment.
I have enjoyed watching this with you gents. I didn’t hate it as much as everyone else seems to. The Starks were successful and won in the end and I’m fine with that. Looking forward to watching something else with y’all.
They didnt, they literally split the country in half. And all of it makes 0 sense. Why will sansa become a kingdom when her brother is king in the south? Why would the southerners have a foreign king? One of the many plots that made no sense. And Arya was very bad at her training in Braavos and old of a sudden she's a bad ass? Lmao.
Starks simps like you ruined the show, I hope you realize that
That I only thought about it this reaction. I put a notepad screen over Blake's face. Made for such a more enjoyable watching experience. Thank god Igli's reaction seemed unprejudiced and wasn't afraid to point out the scenes he enjoyed and his overall nuanced opinion about the episode.
Daenerys is my favorite character too. I wasn't too happy first time watching season 8 as well. But I have seen all of GoT dozens of times since then, and I came to like Daenerys villain arc. And if you're open to it. You see that her motives were always more egocentrical than altruistic. She wanted power, she wanted to be worshipped, and breaking the wheel was only secondary to that. And she did plenty of bad shit in previous seasons as well. To me, Daenerys is the best, most nuanced, most fleshed out villain in the history of television. RIP.
I am not picky and liked all seasons up to The Bells episode. Yes, it sucked that the seasons got short and last episode was truly rushed. Other than that, it was a great show, if you don’t like it make your own show.
People that insist on simping this trash need to let it go already
Blake loving Dany proves he never paid attention to the show.
You do realize everyone who claims to be smarter than everyone else and claim that dany was always evil and bad only they saw it are rightly viewed as ignorant losers right?
We can all agree that season 8 definitely needed more work, but we can still give Game of Thrones it's flowers for being by far one of the GREATEST series on tv. I don't feel the ending should ruin its legacy.
Too late for that. Now every GoT related property has a black cloud hanging over it because of the ending being trash, until there’s a good adaptation of GRRMs work that black cloud will never go away
@DavidCarradinesBelt Understandable 🤷🏾♀️
Did not like this season past episode 2. Has some good shots and effects. Loved the season and lore of this season, loved the suspense hated the plot and the sense of rush.
sHE iS tHe QqqQuuEEennNN🤮
I’m not bothered that Dany burned down the city. She had many losses and betrayals, and her best friend and advisor’s last words were Dracarys! If the stupid show runners wanted to film Kings Landing’s destruction, they should have had it taken over by the White Walkers, and then Dany & Drogon could come in and burn it down. Very stupid to ruin such a loved character.
Sansa becoming Queen in the North was a joke. Arya not being assassinated by the Faceless Men was weak. I seriously hated her threatening Yara, who was rightfully loyal to Dany. Bran becoming King laughable. Pretty bad finale all around, but visually stunning.
Best episode ever...
Boo on Bridgeton. There are way better shows then this but oh well. I’ll pass.
"Uploaded 2 seconds ago"! Dang it! I didn't click fast enough! We're here BABY! Last GoT episode! Now our watch has ended!
