UPDATE (11.09) On September 11th, I received a strike for a segment from 20:17 to 20:45. It’s odd because there were no issues from UA-cam last month. I had to trim the segment slightly, so the transition is a bit noticeable. So, UA-cam finally unlocked the feature for me to pin comments (which wasn't available before, oddly enough, but okay). First of all, thank you for the feedback. Personally, I didn't expect such a reaction, that so many people would like the first part. Not to mention that the video would surpass 10k views. For me, that number was "beyond all expectations." Secondly, since I can't sit at the computer 24/7 (I still have a regular job), the continuation will be released around the 22-24th. I have already gathered the material for the video, and my brother needs to finish drawing the location for a small skirmish in the second part and continue modeling King's Landing for the third. I'll talk more about this in the next video. So, thank you for your patience, for watching, for your ratings and comments. We'll try to get the second part edited as quickly as possible. EDIT. So, a little update. I initially thought we'd be ready by August 22-24, but unfortunately, that won't be the case. The 3rd episode is fully complete, but the 4th isn't yet. The issue lies in the time it takes to render a scene made in Blender. No idea why it's taking so long (by the way, rendering the Battle of Winterfell also took a decent amount of time). You'd think that little squares running across the field wouldn't be too resource-intensive, but nope. For example, 2000 frames take ~14-18 hours to render, depending on whether the computer is doing anything else or not. The Battle of Winterfell was about 18k frames. And in the second part, there will be a small battle that is around 7,200 frames. We slightly miscalculated the release time of the video :) Anyway, sorry for the delay. The second part will be uploaded in a couple of days.

No rewrite in the last five years has had me on the edge of my seat.

@@CineGameAV Why didn't they take Bran to that island next to Harenhall ? There's a lot of wierwood trees there. That's the only thing that wasn't logical in here. Great work btw, amazing - keep writing

The point the characters become incredibly dumb and unbelievable is the time George Martin’s story ended and the new writers’ began. We are all disappointed in the ending.
I've watched countless rewrites of S8, but none like this! I loved how you leaned into the magic of it all and brought back the whole danger of Bran's powers in the first place! And the emotional beats of Bran killing his sister were crazy! Also, the art is stupendously beautiful, and I love how the voiceover is coupled with videos and images to give an audiobook feel. Amazingly done, I can't wait for the next part!
This was masterfully done in my opinion 😊 I saw an edit where Bran made himself King on the Iron Throne. Having him be the new Night King is brilliant!! 🤯😰🥶 I hope he continues the storyline and doesn't drop it
Random - but could you lost some of the other rewrites you’ve watched/read? Are they all on YT? What do you query? Running out of rewrites to watch, or waiting on updates from the creators I’ve found strictly on Yt. I’m not sure where else to look, where do ppl read fan fictions? Trying to get into it.

I do like how you focussed so much on the strategic elements early to give us a sense of the battlefield. Thus allowing your storybeats to take great shape. A couple things here and there I imagine going differently, but thats natural. Great work! Looking forward to the next few parts!
This was the first re-write of season 8 that I’ve seen and loved it. The way you kept going back to the map helped me envision the progression of the story
I love how you kept what is generally considered the worst part of the show and turned it into a brilliant moment where in typical fashion, someone dies, the plot thickens, and a new plan must be devised.
There will still be a bit about the "past" in parts 2 and 3. I also like these fragments, as the series left much about past events, the conflict between the Andals and the First Men, and the Night King himself off-screen.
Well, I really want to hear the rest, so you did very well. I was holding my breath when you got to the Arya scene... well done. Very very well done. Please make the rest!
Thanks for feedback! I'll definitely do it. But since the plot will unfold differently than in the series, and selecting the necessary clips for inserts will be more challenging, I need to gather the material first. We'll try to finish the second part as quickly as possible. But it will probably take about two weeks. Unlike brother, I still have to go to work ;)
Seriously! This! He turned the anticlimactic into an amazing “gotcha” moment and the violence continued furthering the plot. Kind of like picking up the baton where DnD dropped it to continue the race. WELL DONE! Can’t wait for more
@@CineGameAVthis was the first really satisfying rewrite! You include the magic and the lore as well as every person’s destiny. People are meeting appropriate situations and when a death occurs it seems fitting to that person’s character arc. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Even after 5 years, I'm still mad at the last season of Game of Thrones. I remember my group at University watched that season and stayed awake at 3 am to watch it to avoid spoilers the next morning. Our professor also watched GoT and he was as damn disappointed as we were. I hope in 10 years, someone will remake GoT... Maybe GRR Martin would have Winds of Winter finished... You've done excellent work adjusting the events, made a battle plan that made sense, and made the characters use logic. I do like that Jaime Lannister still used his charisma to have some of the Lannister troops join the war against the undead. Now, I don't see yet how they force of living could win this when the battle at Winterfell is lost and there is no way to retreat. I think the only hope they have to hold the line at The Twins. So now They'd have to kill Bran who became the Night King.
Just wanted to tell you how incredible not only the production but your voiceover was. You have an immediate subscriber who is looking forward to the rest of these episodes!! Thank you
Listened to so many rewrites from so many people, and many of them are fantastic and so much better than what we got. I have to say, this has been my favorite thus far. Subscribed immediately. Can’t wait to hear more
Hey CineGame i want to sincerely thank you for this from the bottom of my heart ❤. Your writing has been incredibly good, exponentially better than the others ive seen. Truly legendary quality. Subbed and sharing with lots of people. Keep up the great work.
I think it’s really great and love how you wrote this version. The Bran twist at the end was crazy but I love it. I wish Arya didn’t have to die though😭🥹
This was absolutely incredible! You Ser are a legend and the Gigachad we needed. Also mad props to your brother! The use of footage, drawings, music and locations were spot on! Your depiction of Winterfell battle was basically the type of detail we had for Helms Deep and exactly what was needed. I’m one of many who loved seasons 1-4, gradually despaired with downhill of 5-7, and then 8 broke me so hard I’ve never been able to rewatch any of it. There are so many great recreations of season 8 out there and yours is one of the best. If GRRM never finishes the story we need another petition to remake/retell GoT using the best elements. Liked, subscribed, keep being awesome Good Ser and look forward to the next one!!!
My brother reads the comments too, and he’s happy to hear that ;) Without him, I would never have managed the video editing. So, thanks! I hope you'll enjoy the second and third parts as well.
I love both the dedication and the talent you've brought. This is masterful storytelling and also concept art. It might be difficult from scratch, but perhaps you can envision a full story of your own with this gargantuan display of talent and passion. Whatever you decide, I'm cheering you.
Yeah, this is great, very great, and that ending, my gosh, I couldn’t even imagine how the fandom would react to all their favorite characters dying without time to grieve as they are to rise up under the nightking's control making us feel the hopelessness just like in hardhome.
I can partly imagine it, as I remember the faces of my friends when we finished watching Season 8 together and I gave a speech that lasted about 1.5 hours. Usually, when you discuss something (especially a movie) in a group, there's a discussion. But that time, for the first time I can remember, my friends silently listened to my "outrages." And I remember the faces of some of them during the scene with Arya. Not as dramatic as the Red Wedding of course, but the reaction was quite amusing ;)
Well, it's only the second video, and the channel is about a month old. So where would they come from? :) Everything in its own time, I think. For now, I'm happy with this. Yesterday, the video got 100 views in a day, and I was already glad that it didn’t disappear into the depths of UA-cam. Today it's almost 3000. And the reaction really surprised me. I didn’t expect it, I must admit :)
I've always thought the way they planned to fight the battle with the dead was stupid, but I didn't realize how stupid it exactly was until you laid out how you would''ve done it. That's one of the reasons why the night king was a big joke to me because he lost to maybe the most nonsensical battle strategies I have ever seen. Whereas here, our hero's are more prepared with a better strategy and they still lose. That's how you treat a villian you spent 7 seasons building up. I legit think these could've been two close to 10/10 episodes to start season 8, incredible work man.
This was definitely one of the better "rewrites" that I've listened to. Definitely leaps and bounds above the show version. I hope you'll include Howland Reed in your next parts. Almost everybody forgets about him because he doesn't have a POV chapter in the books and he's barely shown in the show, but GRRM has said the reason he doesn't have a POV is because he knows too much and it would spoil the books. Also, Greywater Watch in the neck would be the best place for the survivors to regroup, not the twins, in my opinion, at least. The crannogmen have mystical abilities themselves, and Howland spent a significant amount of time on the isle of faces before he met the Starks. Military wise, the neck would be easier to defend than anywhere else. It's a natural bottle neck, and the routes change constantly due to the shifting swaps. It would take fewer people to defend, and the inhabitants have the ultimate advantage due to knowing where the paths are.
Thanks! Of course, Greywater Watch will be mentioned later, as there's no other way to reach the South. As for Howland Reed... I’m glad we’re on the same page ;) But honestly, like many others, I’m still wondering what exactly Howland is supposed to do in the final story. I saw an interview with Martin where he said that Howland knows a lot. But what exactly? Is it related to the White Walkers or Jon’s lineage? I had an idea of how Reed could play a role, and he will appear in parts 2 and 3. Although, I wouldn’t say there’s anything super special there… In my version, he plays an important role, no doubt. But I'm not Martin, after all. He’s been spinning this story in his head for almost two decades. Who knows what he’s come up with Reed. So, I hope you’ll enjoy how the plot develops further. Honestly, seeing people's reactions today is really encouraging. I didn’t expect this video to be received so warmly.
@CineGameAV when I first heard GRRM say that about Howland Reed, I assumed he was referring to Jon's parentage, but then I remembered Jojen. Jojen had to have learned what his powers were and how to use them from someone, and since he hadn't met the "three eyed crow/raven" yet, I'm assuming he learned from Howland. This is all conjecture, of course, but I feel that Howland has a very pivotal role in Jon becoming the last hero/azor ahai/ the prince who was promised. George has included Howland in too many stories involving Rheagar, Lyanna, and Ned for it to not mean anything. Also, the fact that he spent time on the isle of faces is important as well, considering he was allowed to actually make it to the island when so many others were stopped by sudden weather or flocks of crows.
The show definitely focused on shock factor towards the end. Like in both the books and the show the death of Ned Stark and the Red Wedding were shocking at first but when you look back on the events that led to them they absolutely make sense. Whereas towards the end the show lost sight of that
oh wow this was really good, the last season was disapointing and this was way better. Am looking forward to the next rewrites. Keep up the great work.
Have any other alt endings you can share (channel/creators) would love to see them. I’ve found a few good ones but always up to finding more. Not sure where else to look other than YT. Thanks!
Can’t wait for the next episodes, such a cliff hanger right there my guy, but enjoyed this reworking immensely, good job, and like I said, can’t wait for the next one, so much better so far than the show’s diabolical treatment of the last couple seasons, and the Bran twist you ended on, omg, didn’t know I needed this till I did, thank you for the work you’ve put into this, much appreciated, subbed, liked and shared!
Found your video craving for a more logica and fulfilling closure to the best series I've ever watched. Just finished a fourth rewatch and s 8 keeps feeding like a major fu to everyone werking on the series and the fans. Thank you so much!!! I love this. Can't wait for the next video. Which I will watch now as it turns out it already is uploaded!
The plot twist about bran and Arya is really great. It would have caused a general jaw-dropping response from the audience. Looking forward to the final episodes.
That was a really interesting take, builds on a lot of the foundation that was set in earlier seasons but not finished in a satisfying way. Smarter decisions too, like sending non combatants south.
Any action would have been smarter than sending cavalry (armed with bows) into a melee attack; driving infantry out beyond the walls and (attention!) IN FRONT of the dug moat. Analyzing the tactical genius of the series could be a separate video. And thanks for the feedback!
Thank you! The next parts will definitely be released. However, since the plot will significantly differ from the series going forward, I will need some time to gather the necessary material. So, the continuation will (probably) come out in a couple of weeks. Maybe after another video. In advance - for your patience :)
Like millions of other viewers, I and my friends eagerly waited for each episode of GOT to come out. We all loved the series and the fantasy it allowed us to escape to. However; the end was a disaster! It left all of us upset at the waste of our invested interest. What your depiction offers, is not just an alternate outcome but the gift of story telling. We all listened intently, some closing their eyes, as the world unfolded again. Thank you...keep it up.
Very good job. Its not a complete revision or book continuation but rather uses most of the constituent pieces of the season. But deploys the characters as if they actually have brains. Bravo
Thank you! I see a positive reaction, so I'll start gathering material for part 2 in the coming days. However, since the plot will differ from what was shown (selecting clips from the series will be more challenging), the next part will likely take about 1-2 weeks. So, thanks in advance for your patience.
FINALLY someone who honors the lore, keeps to the tension... Thank you for redeeming part of what deserves to be the "lost season 8" which lost us all esp. at the end, which wasn't even interesting as fan-fiction writing by DnD.. You are really, really good with this!
Holy shit man! I was very surprised to see that your channel is so fresh. You really know your stuff because the quality of your content is spot on. Looking forward on hearing how the rewrite ends
Bran and the nightking being two parts of the same being, that gave chills mate! Would have topped the Jon Snow heritage reveal, Hodor/Hold the door reveal and anything else like that I can think of. Fantastic rewrite, cant wait for more! 1st time viewer of your channel btw
Oh my Stars! This was great! Yes!!! Make part 2 and 3. Your efforts making part 1 were so worth watching! Your "football" style illustrations were PERFECT and so easy and simple to follow! It was much more fun than the football version. You should have been writers of this last severalseasons!. There have been so many videos people have made that point out every single stupid things the characters did that we knew would have NEVER BEEN DONE!! WE had grown to love these people. They were ALL TOO SMART to do the most ridiculous stuff we were forced to watch!! The writers had the cast useing the "portals" and made "air lifts " to get people to places in an instant that would have taken weeks if not months to get there in "real time". The one that sticks out the most was that part where by some miracle Jamie and Euron both showed up at the same place at the same time. Jamie WAS WEARING HIS ARMOR!!! He only had one effing hand to swim with..but there would be NO SWIMMING FOR JAMIE! He would have sunk to the bottom in seconds! Their fight was such a waste of such talented actors. THEY knew how stupid the things the writers made them do! Oh, here's another question I had. Why did that last epic battle take place at night? That has always confused me. The way it was set up was just horrendous! To send every single Dothraki into a pitch black forest with no light aside from their flaming swords, (that were ridiculous). The way you set things up in the beginning is brilliant! Oh here's another stupid move. Putting people into the crypt to be safe... knowing the Night king can raise the dead...I guess that was another thing our brilliant characters forgot about. Until watching this, I didn't put together there were 2 different types of the living dead. The "White Walkers" were the "officers" kinda.. those who rode dead horses. The "Dead" were everyone else. I never thought of that. That Dany and John could have tag-teamed and brought down the Night King! There were so many missed opportunities. It took days..weeks for all of us to come out of our "Disappointed Viewer's Comas" to really realize what a travesty this ending was. Dumb & Dumber aka "The Writers just gave A GIANT 🖕 to all of the MILLIONS OF US that loved and LIVED THIS SHOW! I kinda felt insulted as an audience and as a " family member" basically. We all shared the same feelings of total betrayal by those 2 men. They could have gone down in history as the 2 writers of the GREATEST TV SHOW IN HISTORY!! Now they are simply known as "those 2 bastards who ruined what COULD have been....😢 Please... PRETTY PLEASE do a part 2 and 3!!! Please 🙏. This was awesome. I'm sorry i wrote so much but you said you'd read our comments! So here you go!❤
Tj9s was a beautifully done rewrite of the most disappointed season of GOT!! Great job with the story and the visuals added to feels. I was saddened to see Aria get killed by her brother... or did she survive? That would be a great twist! I look forward to the next one!! Thank you so much for reviving the story in such an amazing way!!
I very much liked this, the defence of Winterfell was better thought out than on the show, and I really liked the ending there. I was never a fan of Arya killing the Night King, but in this that meant bugger all now Bran is the new Night King. I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out.
Thanks, this was indeed many times better than what we got. I love how you wrote it and even the unexpected death of Aria. HBO should give you a few million dollars and make it into an animated show. The actors can do the voices. I'm sure it would be a hit! Can not wait for the rest
Wow please please do the rest. I have seen every single episode of game of thomes and I like everybody else was so very upset with how they ruined the last season. What you have done here so far is so much better so keep going
Thank you :) The second part is already on the channel (you can watch it or i think you probably already did) and the 3rd will be out this month. We are already working on it.
Finally a Battle of Winterfell with a decent strategy. I knew the episode would be awful when the artillery were in front of the infantry, and the light cavalry charged first. Please keep this up, as you’ve done a great job.
I like the different strategy of the battles. And I’d liked that bran went way back in time and history. That explained a lot. But I did not like Arya being killed and I did not like Bran turning into the night king.
I especially enjoyed your depiction of the Dothraki actually feeling and performing dominantly early, which then makes the loss of them hit so much harder. All this time they were made out to be the most feared warriors outside of the seven kingdoms, but the show depicts them as hardly having a role at all.
This was pure Magic. Real Greatnes i saw here. I think the flaws of GoT began much further then Season 8 but Man, you killed it. Love goes out and i hope that we don´t have to wait so long for the next part. You got my Subscribtion for this. (Sorry for the bad writing, i understand english very well but if it comes to writing, yeah thats not my strenght)
Brother, saying u did better than Dumb and Dumber is a given, that’s why imma say you are doing as well if not better than the other UA-camr Fanfics about S8.
I just want to say right now, this is, without a single doubt in my mind THE best rewrite of Season 8 that i have seen in my whole time on UA-cam (so far anyways), i mean it, it does what every rewrite in my opinion should do, stick to broad strokes of what we got (for the most part) but altering the execution to make it more consistent with what came before, cut out any of the needless and unnecessary filler from what we got, and getting straight to the point, and telling something thats better and sticks true to what previously came before it. I especially love how you made Bran being the Night King actually make sense, and the subversion with Arya seemingly killing him, only to reveal, that it did nothing. Superb. I also love how you improved the battle plans. The only changes i wouldve made were that i wouldve had a few nore characters die at the battle, and i think Melisandre should've had a role in the battle like she did in the actual show. Other then that, so far, so good. By the way, your timeline for when the children created the NK (When the Andals showed up i mean) kind-of reminds me of this theory i saw back in the day from UA-camr Bridge 4, which claimed that the Night King was actually the 13th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and the Child of Bael the Bard. Obviously i know thats not what you were going for but still, check out the theory if you haven't. Also, also, for the battle plans, did you take notes from youtuber Invicta, because the new battle plans so very similar to his.
Thanks for such high praise :) About Bran and the NK - exactly! I know I’m not the only one who thought that way. It could have been a decent plot twist. Maybe not entirely in the "spirit" of the earlier seasons of Game of Thrones, but since the show had already started to diverge from the books by season 5, why not? The second part should be out this week, and I’m really looking forward to hearing people’s thoughts on the 3 part, the finale. There are a couple of scenes that will work perfectly with footage from the series. It should turn out really well... :) But first, the second part.
I definitely want to see how you handle the remaining episodes. Subbed as well to wait for your updates and well done to your brother for supporting you in this project! It felt though that Jon riding Rhaegal in ep1 here was a tad bit abrupt and out of nowhere and nothing was mentioned in regards to how Dany and maybe others would have reacted to it, since at this point in time nobody except for Bran actually knows the truth about his origin. Not to mention that Jon himself is nto aware of anything yet either and there may need to be some kind of push to get him to even realise that a dragon could accept him as a rider and thus start the chain reaction of questioning how it was possible. So, the fact that the only bloodline in Westeros that could ride dragons were Targaryens should have raised some eyebrows. You could ofc leave that to be addressed in detail later on, but at least some sort of prelude and/or setup for this should have been done in your version of episode 1 imho.

We'll try to finish the second part as quickly as possible. But it will probably take about two weeks. Unlike brother, I still have to go to work ;)
That Arya scene omg!!! Amazing
Oh plz do continue the storyline. It's been so 🤯🤯🤯 so far! I'm holding my breath for the next two weeks 🥶🥶🥶 🤣🤣
@@CineGameAV
Seriously! This! He turned the anticlimactic into an amazing “gotcha” moment and the violence continued furthering the plot. Kind of like picking up the baton where DnD dropped it to continue the race. WELL DONE! Can’t wait for more
@@CineGameAVthis was the first really satisfying rewrite! You include the magic and the lore as well as every person’s destiny. People are meeting appropriate situations and when a death occurs it seems fitting to that person’s character arc. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Even after 5 years, I'm still mad at the last season of Game of Thrones. I remember my group at University watched that season and stayed awake at 3 am to watch it to avoid spoilers the next morning. Our professor also watched GoT and he was as damn disappointed as we were. I hope in 10 years, someone will remake GoT... Maybe GRR Martin would have Winds of Winter finished...
You've done excellent work adjusting the events, made a battle plan that made sense, and made the characters use logic. I do like that Jaime Lannister still used his charisma to have some of the Lannister troops join the war against the undead.
Now, I don't see yet how they force of living could win this when the battle at Winterfell is lost and there is no way to retreat.
I think the only hope they have to hold the line at The Twins. So now They'd have to kill Bran who became the Night King.
I only saw it 2 years ago when I bought the boxed set. Wanted to throw the disc at the wall.
Their best line of defense would be at the Eyrie. That's where they should retreat to.
Just wanted to tell you how incredible not only the production but your voiceover was. You have an immediate subscriber who is looking forward to the rest of these episodes!! Thank you
Appreciated it!
We'll try to make it as good as we can, and as quickly as possible. But most likely, part 2 will be released in about two weeks.
Listened to so many rewrites from so many people, and many of them are fantastic and so much better than what we got. I have to say, this has been my favorite thus far. Subscribed immediately. Can’t wait to hear more
Feel up to listing some of the creators of the rewrites you’ve enjoyed? Would love to find more! Thank you!
I love how you use the show to get the point across. It shows how right you are about it mishandled.
Hey CineGame i want to sincerely thank you for this from the bottom of my heart ❤. Your writing has been incredibly good, exponentially better than the others ive seen. Truly legendary quality. Subbed and sharing with lots of people. Keep up the great work.
I think it’s really great and love how you wrote this version. The Bran twist at the end was crazy but I love it. I wish Arya didn’t have to die though😭🥹
I wanted to keep Arya, would not care if sansa died at all.
This was absolutely incredible! You Ser are a legend and the Gigachad we needed. Also mad props to your brother! The use of footage, drawings, music and locations were spot on! Your depiction of Winterfell battle was basically the type of detail we had for Helms Deep and exactly what was needed. I’m one of many who loved seasons 1-4, gradually despaired with downhill of 5-7, and then 8 broke me so hard I’ve never been able to rewatch any of it. There are so many great recreations of season 8 out there and yours is one of the best. If GRRM never finishes the story we need another petition to remake/retell GoT using the best elements. Liked, subscribed, keep being awesome Good Ser and look forward to the next one!!!
My brother reads the comments too, and he’s happy to hear that ;) Without him, I would never have managed the video editing.
So, thanks! I hope you'll enjoy the second and third parts as well.
I love both the dedication and the talent you've brought. This is masterful storytelling and also concept art. It might be difficult from scratch, but perhaps you can envision a full story of your own with this gargantuan display of talent and passion. Whatever you decide, I'm cheering you.
This is the Winterfell battle we needed. Beautiful work. Great narration. Love the occasional video cuts and at used.
Bad ending though.
This is already much better than what we got in the final season.
Great content mate, you got yourself a sub, keep up the good work:)
Appreciated it a lot ... ;)
@CineGameAV you should've been the writer instead
Yeah, this is great, very great, and that ending, my gosh, I couldn’t even imagine how the fandom would react to all their favorite characters dying without time to grieve as they are to rise up under the nightking's control making us feel the hopelessness just like in hardhome.
I can partly imagine it, as I remember the faces of my friends when we finished watching Season 8 together and I gave a speech that lasted about 1.5 hours. Usually, when you discuss something (especially a movie) in a group, there's a discussion. But that time, for the first time I can remember, my friends silently listened to my "outrages." And I remember the faces of some of them during the scene with Arya. Not as dramatic as the Red Wedding of course, but the reaction was quite amusing ;)
this is awesome! i cant believe this came out a day ago. getting in before your channel blows up man!
Dude how do you only have 250 subs u deserve far more
Well, it's only the second video, and the channel is about a month old. So where would they come from? :) Everything in its own time, I think. For now, I'm happy with this. Yesterday, the video got 100 views in a day, and I was already glad that it didn’t disappear into the depths of UA-cam. Today it's almost 3000. And the reaction really surprised me. I didn’t expect it, I must admit :)
Dude. You have saved season 8 with just one episode.
I've always thought the way they planned to fight the battle with the dead was stupid, but I didn't realize how stupid it exactly was until you laid out how you would''ve done it. That's one of the reasons why the night king was a big joke to me because he lost to maybe the most nonsensical battle strategies I have ever seen. Whereas here, our hero's are more prepared with a better strategy and they still lose. That's how you treat a villian you spent 7 seasons building up. I legit think these could've been two close to 10/10 episodes to start season 8, incredible work man.
This was fantastic. I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you so much for putting it all together
I really enjoyed the video. It cleared up a lot of things for me. Please make some more of them 😊
This was definitely one of the better "rewrites" that I've listened to. Definitely leaps and bounds above the show version. I hope you'll include Howland Reed in your next parts. Almost everybody forgets about him because he doesn't have a POV chapter in the books and he's barely shown in the show, but GRRM has said the reason he doesn't have a POV is because he knows too much and it would spoil the books. Also, Greywater Watch in the neck would be the best place for the survivors to regroup, not the twins, in my opinion, at least. The crannogmen have mystical abilities themselves, and Howland spent a significant amount of time on the isle of faces before he met the Starks. Military wise, the neck would be easier to defend than anywhere else. It's a natural bottle neck, and the routes change constantly due to the shifting swaps. It would take fewer people to defend, and the inhabitants have the ultimate advantage due to knowing where the paths are.
Thanks! Of course, Greywater Watch will be mentioned later, as there's no other way to reach the South.
As for Howland Reed... I’m glad we’re on the same page ;)
But honestly, like many others, I’m still wondering what exactly Howland is supposed to do in the final story. I saw an interview with Martin where he said that Howland knows a lot. But what exactly? Is it related to the White Walkers or Jon’s lineage? I had an idea of how Reed could play a role, and he will appear in parts 2 and 3. Although, I wouldn’t say there’s anything super special there… In my version, he plays an important role, no doubt. But I'm not Martin, after all. He’s been spinning this story in his head for almost two decades. Who knows what he’s come up with Reed.
So, I hope you’ll enjoy how the plot develops further. Honestly, seeing people's reactions today is really encouraging. I didn’t expect this video to be received so warmly.
@CineGameAV when I first heard GRRM say that about Howland Reed, I assumed he was referring to Jon's parentage, but then I remembered Jojen. Jojen had to have learned what his powers were and how to use them from someone, and since he hadn't met the "three eyed crow/raven" yet, I'm assuming he learned from Howland. This is all conjecture, of course, but I feel that Howland has a very pivotal role in Jon becoming the last hero/azor ahai/ the prince who was promised. George has included Howland in too many stories involving Rheagar, Lyanna, and Ned for it to not mean anything. Also, the fact that he spent time on the isle of faces is important as well, considering he was allowed to actually make it to the island when so many others were stopped by sudden weather or flocks of crows.
This was amazingly detailed. CAN'T WAIT FOR PART 2&3!
I've watched a lot of rewrites, but this one stands out, beautifully done! Can't wait for parts 2 & 3❤
The show definitely focused on shock factor towards the end. Like in both the books and the show the death of Ned Stark and the Red Wedding were shocking at first but when you look back on the events that led to them they absolutely make sense. Whereas towards the end the show lost sight of that
oh wow this was really good, the last season was disapointing and this was way better. Am looking forward to the next rewrites. Keep up the great work.
I loved the video. Alternate fan endings for GOT are some of my favorite content. I was just disappointed that part 2 wasn’t available yet! 😂
Have any other alt endings you can share (channel/creators) would love to see them. I’ve found a few good ones but always up to finding more. Not sure where else to look other than YT. Thanks!
Can’t wait for the next episodes, such a cliff hanger right there my guy, but enjoyed this reworking immensely, good job, and like I said, can’t wait for the next one, so much better so far than the show’s diabolical treatment of the last couple seasons, and the Bran twist you ended on, omg, didn’t know I needed this till I did, thank you for the work you’ve put into this, much appreciated, subbed, liked and shared!
Found your video craving for a more logica and fulfilling closure to the best series I've ever watched. Just finished a fourth rewatch and s 8 keeps feeding like a major fu to everyone werking on the series and the fans.
Thank you so much!!! I love this. Can't wait for the next video. Which I will watch now as it turns out it already is uploaded!
Good effort, better than season 8 writing. Thank You. Now you have a fan all the way from Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰
Finally the battle of winterfell with some cost to it. The original felt like a happy ending in a fairy tale.
Please make part 3 and 4. This was great.
Beautiful work. I can’t wait to hear the next part! 👏🏽
Don't afraid to be disappointed?
Keep going! This is healing my old wounds, hahaha. Don’t stop!
The plot twist about bran and Arya is really great. It would have caused a general jaw-dropping response from the audience. Looking forward to the final episodes.
That was a really interesting take, builds on a lot of the foundation that was set in earlier seasons but not finished in a satisfying way. Smarter decisions too, like sending non combatants south.
Any action would have been smarter than sending cavalry (armed with bows) into a melee attack; driving infantry out beyond the walls and (attention!) IN FRONT of the dug moat. Analyzing the tactical genius of the series could be a separate video.
And thanks for the feedback!
definitely already for part 2 and 3. good job yall
That was amazing! You cannot stop now, please do the rest!
Thank you!
The next parts will definitely be released. However, since the plot will significantly differ from the series going forward, I will need some time to gather the necessary material.
So, the continuation will (probably) come out in a couple of weeks. Maybe after another video.
In advance - for your patience :)
I really enjoyed your thoughtful re-imagining. Please keep up the great work!
Like millions of other viewers, I and my friends eagerly waited for each episode of GOT to come out. We all loved the series and the fantasy it allowed us to escape to. However; the end was a disaster! It left all of us upset at the waste of our invested interest. What your depiction offers, is not just an alternate outcome but the gift of story telling. We all listened intently, some closing their eyes, as the world unfolded again. Thank you...keep it up.
This is soooooo much better than what we got!!! Well done!!! Please do the continuation🙏🙏
Very good job. Its not a complete revision or book continuation but rather uses most of the constituent pieces of the season. But deploys the characters as if they actually have brains. Bravo
Great work man, keep doing what you're doing, cant wait to see part 2 and 3, and future projects
Thank you!
I see a positive reaction, so I'll start gathering material for part 2 in the coming days. However, since the plot will differ from what was shown (selecting clips from the series will be more challenging), the next part will likely take about 1-2 weeks. So, thanks in advance for your patience.
Bruh...That was AWESOME! Inventive and creative. I'm glad the Al Gore Rhythm popped your vid onto my feed.
This is an amazing rewrite, FULLY ENGROSSED . Please pursue becoming a screenwriter, we love this
I'm intrigued and love the format. Please make a part two
FINALLY someone who honors the lore, keeps to the tension... Thank you for redeeming part of what deserves to be the "lost season 8" which lost us all esp. at the end, which wasn't even interesting as fan-fiction writing by DnD.. You are really, really good with this!
Holy shit man! I was very surprised to see that your channel is so fresh. You really know your stuff because the quality of your content is spot on. Looking forward on hearing how the rewrite ends
Bran and the nightking being two parts of the same being, that gave chills mate! Would have topped the Jon Snow heritage reveal, Hodor/Hold the door reveal and anything else like that I can think of. Fantastic rewrite, cant wait for more!
1st time viewer of your channel btw
Oh my Stars! This was great! Yes!!! Make part 2 and 3. Your efforts making part 1 were so worth watching! Your "football" style illustrations were PERFECT and so easy and simple to follow! It was much more fun than the football version. You should have been writers of this last severalseasons!. There have been so many videos people have made that point out every single stupid things the characters did that we knew would have NEVER BEEN DONE!! WE had grown to love these people. They were ALL TOO SMART to do the most ridiculous stuff we were forced to watch!! The writers had the cast useing the "portals" and made
"air lifts " to get people to places in an instant that would have taken weeks if not months to get there in "real time". The one that sticks out the most was that part where by some miracle Jamie and Euron both showed up at the same place at the same time. Jamie WAS WEARING HIS ARMOR!!! He only had one effing hand to swim with..but there would be NO SWIMMING FOR JAMIE! He would have sunk to the bottom in seconds! Their fight was such a waste of such talented actors. THEY knew how stupid the things the writers made them do! Oh, here's another question I had. Why did that last epic battle take place at night? That has always confused me. The way it was set up was just horrendous! To send every single Dothraki into a pitch black forest with no light aside from their flaming swords, (that were ridiculous). The way you set things up in the beginning is brilliant! Oh here's another stupid move. Putting people into the crypt to be safe... knowing the Night king can raise the dead...I guess that was another thing our brilliant characters forgot about. Until watching this, I didn't put together there were 2 different types of the living dead. The "White Walkers" were the "officers" kinda.. those who rode dead horses. The "Dead" were everyone else. I never thought of that. That Dany and John could have tag-teamed and brought down the Night King! There were so many missed opportunities. It took days..weeks for all of us to come out of our "Disappointed Viewer's Comas" to really realize what a travesty this ending was. Dumb & Dumber aka "The Writers just gave A GIANT 🖕 to all of the MILLIONS OF US that loved and LIVED THIS SHOW! I kinda felt insulted as an audience and as a " family member" basically. We all shared the same feelings of total betrayal by those 2 men. They could have gone down in history as the 2 writers of the GREATEST TV SHOW IN HISTORY!! Now they are simply known as "those 2 bastards who ruined what COULD have been....😢 Please... PRETTY PLEASE do a part 2 and 3!!! Please 🙏. This was awesome. I'm sorry i wrote so much but you said you'd read our comments! So here you go!❤
Absolutely awesome story deviations! I want part 2 right now please.
Glad you liked it :)
The second part would be ready this weekend.
This is amazing! Waiting for the next parts. Very very well done
Unfassbar spannend - und logisch! Sowohl die Details der Schlacht als auch der Vergangenheit gefallen mir gut. So ergibt alles einen Sinn ... 👍👍👍
Really enjoyed this. I hope you do the other parts.
This!!!!! Perfect! My goodness, how great this season should have been. Please continue with your story.
The 2 part is already on the channel. I hope you like it :)
Fascinating and more logical, engrossing and exciting than what Dan and Dave did with the actual season 8! Looking forward to the next video!
This rewrite literally made me sitting on the edge of my seat. This is soooo good!
This is fantastic! Please carry on and do the rest of them!!
Appreciate it... ;)
Well, it will take some time to make the second part.
Tj9s was a beautifully done rewrite of the most disappointed season of GOT!! Great job with the story and the visuals added to feels. I was saddened to see Aria get killed by her brother... or did she survive? That would be a great twist!
I look forward to the next one!!
Thank you so much for reviving the story in such an amazing way!!
*Marvelous keep up the great work.*
I very much liked this, the defence of Winterfell was better thought out than on the show, and I really liked the ending there.
I was never a fan of Arya killing the Night King, but in this that meant bugger all now Bran is the new Night King.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out.
Thanks, this was indeed many times better than what we got.
I love how you wrote it and even the unexpected death of Aria. HBO should give you a few million dollars and make it into an animated show. The actors can do the voices. I'm sure it would be a hit!
Can not wait for the rest
Wow please please do the rest. I have seen every single episode of game of thomes and I like everybody else was so very upset with how they ruined the last season. What you have done here so far is so much better so keep going
Thank you :)
The second part is already on the channel (you can watch it or i think you probably already did) and the 3rd will be out this month. We are already working on it.
@@CineGameAV Eagerly waiting for it.
Finally a Battle of Winterfell with a decent strategy. I knew the episode would be awful when the artillery were in front of the infantry, and the light cavalry charged first. Please keep this up, as you’ve done a great job.
I can’t wait for this video to blow up! Great job!
Amazing great job, keep it coming the story you created had me glued to the next scene. Please create more.
I like the different strategy of the battles. And I’d liked that bran went way back in time and history. That explained a lot. But I did not like Arya being killed and I did not like Bran turning into the night king.
Having Bran go into previous long night was brilliant
I think your version is excellent n well done.... and I'm most anxious for you to continue. ..
Write the other rest😃👏💯💙👊! It’s really good and I love the story! Watching anxiously for the next episode 👏👏👏👏👏👊💙
thanks) We’re already rendering and editing. So it should be out by the weekend (at least i hope).
Oh I already know this will be so cool. Subscribed!
Well, I'm not sure about part 2, but part 3 should be ;) At least the epilogue looks good in my mind.
THIS was far better than what we got from the "professionals" . Bravo!!!
This was awesome. Can’t wait for more!
You made S8 interesting again👏🏾
Surprisingly well.done. I'll be watching the.next episodes. Great rewrite on the white walkers!
I especially enjoyed your depiction of the Dothraki actually feeling and performing dominantly early, which then makes the loss of them hit so much harder.
All this time they were made out to be the most feared warriors outside of the seven kingdoms, but the show depicts them as hardly having a role at all.
This was pure Magic. Real Greatnes i saw here. I think the flaws of GoT began much further then Season 8 but Man, you killed it. Love goes out and i hope that we don´t have to wait so long for the next part. You got my Subscribtion for this. (Sorry for the bad writing, i understand english very well but if it comes to writing, yeah thats not my strenght)
Im liking this version so far 😊 great work
Brother, saying u did better than Dumb and Dumber is a given, that’s why imma say you are doing as well if not better than the other UA-camr Fanfics about S8.
this was really really good, please create the rest asap! thank you
I just want to say right now, this is, without a single doubt in my mind THE best rewrite of Season 8 that i have seen in my whole time on UA-cam (so far anyways), i mean it, it does what every rewrite in my opinion should do, stick to broad strokes of what we got (for the most part) but altering the execution to make it more consistent with what came before, cut out any of the needless and unnecessary filler from what we got, and getting straight to the point, and telling something thats better and sticks true to what previously came before it.
I especially love how you made Bran being the Night King actually make sense, and the subversion with Arya seemingly killing him, only to reveal, that it did nothing. Superb. I also love how you improved the battle plans.
The only changes i wouldve made were that i wouldve had a few nore characters die at the battle, and i think Melisandre should've had a role in the battle like she did in the actual show. Other then that, so far, so good.
By the way, your timeline for when the children created the NK (When the Andals showed up i mean) kind-of reminds me of this theory i saw back in the day from UA-camr Bridge 4, which claimed that the Night King was actually the 13th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and the Child of Bael the Bard. Obviously i know thats not what you were going for but still, check out the theory if you haven't. Also, also, for the battle plans, did you take notes from youtuber Invicta, because the new battle plans so very similar to his.
Thanks for such high praise :)
About Bran and the NK - exactly! I know I’m not the only one who thought that way. It could have been a decent plot twist. Maybe not entirely in the "spirit" of the earlier seasons of Game of Thrones, but since the show had already started to diverge from the books by season 5, why not?
The second part should be out this week, and I’m really looking forward to hearing people’s thoughts on the 3 part, the finale. There are a couple of scenes that will work perfectly with footage from the series. It should turn out really well... :) But first, the second part.
Excellent video, many thanks for your efforts to take this story and make it work! Keep it up, can't wait for the big finale.
Dude! This is amazing. Waiting for part 2!
True to the story with twists and engaging context! Can’t wait for part 2
Bravo, I loved this! I can’t wait for more !
This video was incredible. Patiently awaiting the next!
Already uploaded :)
This was amazing. Thank you so much. Please continue the story 🙏.
This was justiceee. I felt all the emotions watching this
you added depth into the shallow original story..well done, definitely a proper plot for a game of throne
This was great man. Unique and interesting and makes sense..love it
I definitely want to see how you handle the remaining episodes. Subbed as well to wait for your updates and well done to your brother for supporting you in this project! It felt though that Jon riding Rhaegal in ep1 here was a tad bit abrupt and out of nowhere and nothing was mentioned in regards to how Dany and maybe others would have reacted to it, since at this point in time nobody except for Bran actually knows the truth about his origin. Not to mention that Jon himself is nto aware of anything yet either and there may need to be some kind of push to get him to even realise that a dragon could accept him as a rider and thus start the chain reaction of questioning how it was possible. So, the fact that the only bloodline in Westeros that could ride dragons were Targaryens should have raised some eyebrows. You could ofc leave that to be addressed in detail later on, but at least some sort of prelude and/or setup for this should have been done in your version of episode 1 imho.
