Chaos is a ladder. Littlefinger didn't care how many people died due to the chaos he created. He only cared about how far up the ladder the chaos boosted him. Definitely evil.
It was so unnecessary for Summer to die. He's a giant dire wolf and should have been pulling Bran. Dogs were used for thousands of years for that very purpose and yet they had a 100 pound girl pull bran away instead.
Lol that is not a dog. It is a direwolf. Not a wolf, a direwolf. Its a predator. It was protecting its master. Instinct was to fight the things coming for its master, not to carry him.
Each direwolf represents the soul of its owner and the connections in the family. They are the embodyment of the very essence of the Stark children. Lady got killed - Sansa lost her awareness. Nymeria became a solo killer after the hard years. Grey Wind, Shaggydog, Ghost, Summer, each one of them grew close to the child. Or did the child grow close to the direwolf? Decide it Yourself. Summers death was necessary because it represents Brans final transformation from Stark to the Three Eyed Raven.
Wow it's refreshing to read comments on UA-cam where whether people agree or disagree with you, there's no disrespect, discrimination, labelling and hate. People are literally sharing their opinions and insight for the purpose of sharing, not judgement. Nice upload...got me teary eyed like when jiriaya died and his essence taps Naruto on the should before his soul moves on...*sniff*
unfortunately, the net is dark and full of terrors, so negative stuff pops up every now and then. but i attempt to read every single comment eventually, so i just block them as soon as i see something inappropriate (one-strike policy =)) and thankfully, the GoT YT community is predominantly an open-minded, positive group of people =))
Your sentiment is stupid & I hate everything you have to say. Totally kidding.. It's pathetic that response is normal, though. Some people just suck. But, not everyone. 😅
I don't bet. But I don't think we'll see the gods eye. And if we do, the I'd gentlemans bet ya that the green men there have roots growing through them, just like blood raven :))
They certainly would! That's perhaps the saddest thing about it - that the majority of people living in that world don't even realise what they are about to loose. Ahem. Sorry for the nostalgia 😅
It's bitter sweet. "Prophecies will bite your pick off every time." Marwyn (fan of magic tho) and luwin (closest fan, but skeptic) said something like "magic is like a sword without a hilt. Dangerous. Cut yurself" Magic is powerful. So it has big benefits, but also big consequences :-/
I feel like GoT's timeline is cyclical and will repeat just in the stories they told originally. The White walkers can't be mindless evil things, I'm sure they have a reason for being (maybe to cut down the human population), and in the end they have to somehow strike up a deal with the humans so neither overwhelms the other side forever...I'm looking forward to seeing how that happens
I think calling them children is another way that Martin redirects his thematic focus. The attitude of the children is less childlike and more elderly while the actions of the men are those more like those of actual children... and possibly not unlike the children of the forest themselves, at a certain point in their existence. The children of the forest had their time along with their contemporaries and there is a new generation fulfilling their own wills. The eons ultimately had not made a difference.
Great post. Leaf actually says this to bran. They were around long before men. Men are the children (and the cotf died, in hopes of creating a better world for the children (men))
And this is why I love your videos. I could never put this all together. My memory isn’t as good as it used to be. You grabbing bit from here and there , then bringing them together. Makes the stories even better.
Lol trust me. My memory is terrible. I often reread 12-35 chapters on a day in advance of making a video I should know this story wayyyy better than I do considering how many reread I've done Thank you tho :))
I'd put cersei or joffery at 10 on that scale as opposed to tywin don't get me wrong he's up into the seven or eight area but he used calculated wickedness to further his goals where as his daughter and grandson acted more like cats playing with a mouse, vicious and spiteful but not tactful in application of ruthlessness.

Ramsey was hated and feared whilst Tywin was feared, admired, and respected. Though quite a few did hate Tywin, everyone even his own mother found Ramsey to be quite off putting.
@@RLSteffler I never said I'd put Tywin at ten or even nine I said I'd put Joffery or Cersei at ten . The reason I don't put Ramsey at ten is that he isn't smart enough to plan for the eventual response to his tactics. Look at what happened to Calligula killed by his own praetorian guard. Ramsey simply is obsessed with doing what he wants to do regardless of how it'll effect his leverage over his powerbase thusly thwarting himself in the process.
I have a theory, but Im not super well versed in the books; Perhaps just like how Bridge4 said in the video about Arya and the many faced god’s illusions (Mance being burned at the stake could have been an illusion - unless I interpreted that wrong) Shireen’s death might have been an illusion. But I do agree that it’s more likely her death was meant to pay for Jon’s death/his revival.
I found this interesting, not feeling too serious, and then *Boom*, by the end I’m feeling all sad and emotional; this poor planet. Yes, obviously this is all a reflection of the world in which we live.

Quick comment - of all the UA-cam theory crafters covering GoT... this is absolutely my favorite. Everything clicks. The base theory presented. The structure of the explanation. The (sometimes) wonderfully hokey but (always) compelling and illuminating graphics. And even the voice work with appropriate mixtures of amusement, drama, and sorrow. Consistently good stuff.
@@bridge4 my theory is they WERE protecting Bran. As we saw with his time travelling meddling then g the boy into Hodor, Bran will end up being tied to a tree and have dragon glass pushed into his heart, thus becoming the Night King.
bridge4 if you read the books, it is because they feed jojen to bran lol that is pretty much the only reason and it doesn't outright say that's what they do either.
That's not how it works lol being undead is like almost like being mind-controlled I think, your soul becomes enslaved to the Night's King. If you wanna be like Benjen (from the show, the half-undead half-man guy who rides around on a large horse and wields a fiery ball and chain) it's explained that in his case he was on his way to being a white walker himself but the children of the forest found him in the nick of time and administered something that would stop the progression of his turning but couldn't completely reverse it, so as long as you have a child from the forest on standby ready to help you do that then great. Benjen was so badass, I wish they did more with his character (and who knows, maybe they will)
There’s just one thing I think you missed. The children of the Forrest did not kill jengen. He was hurt badly by white walkers and his sister killed ( stabbed) him when she saw she wouldn’t be able to drag him safely into the cave. That’s when they threw a bomb on him so he wouldn’t comeback as a white walker.
I was being sarcastic for a little bit there. That's why I had the clip of greyworm saying "I make joke" I get a lot of very strangex heated comments saying what you said, but in a non-civil way... so thank you for being cordial :))
bridge4 in no way possible I would make such comments. I strongly believe in the phrase that if you don’t have anything good to say than don’t say anything at all. I like this video and for a split second I thought that maybe this was based on the books since I haven’t read them yet I thought maybe my comment wasn’t very accurate. I have been on GOT marathon and I just happened to watch that exact episode ☺️
Lol. There's a very successful youtuber who does everything you just said. I can't make it through even a minute of his videos because ihe sounds so weird Nice dude. But I imagine sitting at Buffalo Wild wings with him... and hes explaining a theory to me like that... I would have to cut him off and be like, "dude. Are you okay? You sound insane lol"
The metaphor about our own earth and humanity’s impact on it hit me hard and moved me to tears. Even to describe them as singers that sing the song of the earth was so beautiful. I’m sure they symbolize indigenous people who are more connected to the earth. GRRM astounds me with his brilliance that’s interwoven through so many facets of this epic story. I honestly can’t think of a better story than a song of ice and fire.
This hole thing reminds me of the Tolkien universe, where the old races and the magic are dying, making room for the race of men. In both universes it is just sad, but true.
I watch a lot of videos about a lot of stuff and i gotta say man, that was a great video. I could hear the compassion and sadness in your voice which made it hit harder to drive your theory home. Well thought out and executed. I look forward to watching more.
You know mate, I really enjoy your work. Your insights open up a whole new level of appreciation for the show ... and will result in my re-watching the series with greater understanding of the story that i had not achieved by my self. I really love the passion you bring to your vids so please keep up the brilliant work AND as I've said before ... your voice is perfect for this medium. Thanks!
Two of the most impacting deaths on GoT's show series to me that still hits me when I see them again... Hodor, and definitely Shireen. Saddened me to see these two go. That passage by Leaf that you explained too, the show "Avatar" came to mind in that we're destroying everything around us to where all animals, trees, everything we know, will soon be gone. Awesome narrative again bridge4, love hearing your videos and theories, keep 'em coming!
*to be clear* I think the "children are evil" theories are completely outlandish. They go against the biggest theme of the story, which is about creating a better world for children. And tearing down the walls between ones own "team," and "the other's." (Whether that be men and singers, nights watch and freefolk, bigoted followers of rhllor and everyone else, sexual preference, gender orientation, and gender descrimination) and men (living) vs white walkers (presumably living) Since their selflessness is so blatant, i didnt want to be captain obvious with: "they protected bran here, here, and here." So I jokingly said the opposite of what happened for those 4 or five events in and around the cave. Then ended it with grey worm saying "I made joke." Originally I had my own vocals saying, "I'm kidding." It was clearer that way. Apologies for any misunderstanding ------ *A lot of good stuff in the pipeline!!* Sad video next. Then the new, wild idea I came up with last week. Then the real Arya vs Mountain video. Maybe some other easy video squeezed in between some of those though. I couldn't sleep last night. So I pulled an all nighter. Waiting another hour, making this public, then finally going to bed lol ------------------------ This is a *NON-SPOILER VIDEO* for Season 8 on a *NON-SPOILER CHANNEL* Please do not ever mention set, cast, script, or plot leaks in any context. Because homie don't play that. Thank you!! =)) Early Access to some videos on Instragram: instagram.com/kevchenny
Was it the part about dan trying the tube on himself. I actually teared up 3 times while make the video bc of that part It's hard to describe dan. He's one of a kind. The best of the beSt for sure
I've never been affected by any kind of show, or movie (except The Land Before Time at 5 lol) like this one. It's a roller coaster to be sure. Just caught your channel dude, Love it.
That Bob Ross comment was absolutely Gold! From now on, I'll always see a " happy little waterdancer" everytime I see Syrio! You have the best Fandom Kev! Love QOT.🌹 🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲happy little trees
bridge4 Kev, still going on Mike young post about songs, presently on James Brown " Get on up offa Dat Thang and dance till ya feel betta " UNH! Gud God yall ..Camoan. .UNH!
Wait...Mirra ended Jojon to save him from being killed by the whytes and the CotF burned his body to save him from becoming one. No murder here! Promise me, Ned
I think that "evil scale" you used at the end was very wrong. The whole thing about ASOIAF is that there is no good or evil, everything is in between, with variation, but there are always good reasons on both sides of a conflict. Shireen was innocent, but also naïve, she would've made bad decisions, so you could call her potential evil, and Tywin did everything for the good of his family over his own, and he held balance and order in high regard, I think his motivations are very pure.
I'm going to guess that the evil scale was a bit tongue-in-cheek. The "scale" is set up but the measure of "how evil" given doesn't match that scale. Artistic!
Yeh. I was doing it as sort of a lure. tryING to lul yall into a low expectation. A number. And then I flip a 180, ignore the numbers, two compliments,pause, and "extinCT" with the last note of song hitting as same time as last word The goal was to have a dramatic ending. But I guess it didn't work with a lot of people I tried. That's the best I got :))
Haha I give him in love you type comments a lot in videos. I definitely have so much gratitude towards him. His stories have been, and will always be, fun rides :)
Just discovered this channel and I must say, the production value is insane, this is some high quality stuff right here. Keep at with that amazing voice!
I love how tragic this is and how it can even apply to our own world and humanity. Beings and creatures who were around thousands of years before men and part of nature, now destroyed and forced away by men’s own hand and ignorance. George is absolutely brilliant
Wassoll Das to each their own. I meant creatures like the unicorns, Giants, and Children were drove out and in the show went existent due to men coming over to Westeros. Interrupting nature’s balance and causing war by their pillage of the land and cutting down sacred trees for their own benefit. Kinda like what’s happening in today’s world with global warming, our oceans, and our forest. It’s all being carelessly destroyed due to our own oftentimes selfish needs regardless of the impact and consequences. I wouldn’t say man is nature’s true pride. We only see ourselves that way and everything that isn’t us, is somehow below us and this causes such a twisted mindset. We as men are supposedly the “smartest” of creatures yet don’t even care what we are doing to our own environment even though it’s our only home. We strive for more, more, more. Nature can be ugly, there’s no doubt. But it is also far more beautiful and it all works together in a balance I can respect. It at least corrects itself from time to time and I can’t say the same for mankind. I could be interpreting not as George intended, but it’s fun to speculate.
I have lost count of how many times i have gotten actual goosebumps and seriously smeared mascara. You such are a master of poignancy that i dont even mind having my emotions manipulated. Bitter-sweet in every breakdown.
Your prose and commentary are heart wrenching and beautiful. It is humbling to know that someone else is moved by the depth and breadth of the undertones of this tale in the same way I am. Bravo sir.
I found it interesting when I am re-watching Season 6 how they definitely have a focus on children and sweet candy, alcohol and men, and the little birds that Varys has in King’s Landing and Meereen. It makes the phrase “candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker” seem more real. Apparently, it was called “Reflections on Ice Breaking” by Ogden Nash.
I hope they're not extinct. I'm making a costume because they are my favorite characters in the show. I'm hoping more are found hiding out to carry on their race♥
If there are more, do you see them dying or surviving? And did you see the line where she told bran that, at least in the books, there are no other children
bridge4 I think that they will survive. She may be trying to protect the others by saying that, or maybe she just doesn't know because of some hiding mojo that's keeping them safe ♥
GOT has an intricate message of environmental protection. A true eye-opener indeed, which goes without saying the beautiful portrayal of men , so self obsessed with their petty lives, dwarfed by their own intellect, realize it too late when nature runs it's course to set things right.
Yes I see them as almost the opposite of evil. Bc imo, they're all dead now. So they left behind the fight to survive, and instead, went out to help "others," their old foe (men) survive They are better than myself., that's for sure. So noble, if the extinction interpretation is true
I think she learned that no matter how much hate you have or how much you fight, you can never conquer the inevidable. She learned to pick her battles from learning from the mistakes she and her race made.
maybe she also learned how destructive it is to react to pain like men do. in other words, maybe she saw the futility in "being wroth.... swearing vengeance"
I don't see how anyone ever thought the Children were evil or that they tried to kill any of the heroes, that scene with the White Walkers they were definitely still evil. No, "Hey Buddy, get up!" well not unless they meant as an Undead.
yeah, i dont understand it either. so when i was making this, i couldnt even get myself to state the obvious "the child blows up a white to save bran" i had to be sarcastic, and a lot of people dont realize i was joking lol ah well. i tried =)
bridge4 Ha, I was about to say 😂... She definitely turned her back to Bran to help him while he was in that trance. The craziness I found was that the fact Holdor got that way due to that whole scene.
“I loved that girl like she was my own” got me
Glad I'm not alone in that, got the chills
It doesnt matter how long ago it happened, Shireen still makes my heart bleed.
jackoblllllllll the way the actor for Davos (blanking on his name right now which upset me) delivers that line hurts me on a profound level
Liam cunningham iirc
Worst scene I've ever seen on television. It almost made me stop watching GOT.
bridge4 Ahh thank you! I could remember Liam, but Cunningham was escaping me.
:(
Chaos is a ladder. Littlefinger didn't care how many people died due to the chaos he created. He only cared about how far up the ladder the chaos boosted him. Definitely evil.
Totally agree
He's not evil, just on that Sigma Grindset
It was so unnecessary for Summer to die. He's a giant dire wolf and should have been pulling Bran. Dogs were used for thousands of years for that very purpose and yet they had a 100 pound girl pull bran away instead.
i never thought about that. great point! they had a friggen sled lol
Lol that is not a dog. It is a direwolf. Not a wolf, a direwolf. Its a predator. It was protecting its master. Instinct was to fight the things coming for its master, not to carry him.
I haven't seen any of the scenes where any wolves dies. I can't. Yeah, I'm that girl.
Each direwolf represents the soul of its owner and the connections in the family. They are the embodyment of the very essence of the Stark children. Lady got killed - Sansa lost her awareness. Nymeria became a solo killer after the hard years. Grey Wind, Shaggydog, Ghost, Summer, each one of them grew close to the child. Or did the child grow close to the direwolf? Decide it Yourself.
Summers death was necessary because it represents Brans final transformation from Stark to the Three Eyed Raven.
It was symbolic , summer's death = winter had arrived
"...and extinct". Stab me in the heart bro at the end. What are you doing to me!
i tried making that ending impactful. it worked!!
but jokes aside, i apologize on behalf of George and his characters :-P
Frak yes! This ending just killed me. Good job!
So, if they are extinct they are a 0? A 1? A -43?

Lol. There's a very successful youtuber who does everything you just said.
I can't make it through even a minute of his videos because ihe sounds so weird
Nice dude. But I imagine sitting at Buffalo Wild wings with him... and hes explaining a theory to me like that... I would have to cut him off and be like, "dude. Are you okay? You sound insane lol"
The metaphor about our own earth and humanity’s impact on it hit me hard and moved me to tears. Even to describe them as singers that sing the song of the earth was so beautiful. I’m sure they symbolize indigenous people who are more connected to the earth. GRRM astounds me with his brilliance that’s interwoven through so many facets of this epic story. I honestly can’t think of a better story than a song of ice and fire.
"The direwolves will outlast us all, but their time will come as well" - That might be a huge clue. Nice one Bridge4 :)
This hole thing reminds me of the Tolkien universe, where the old races and the magic are dying, making room for the race of men. In both universes it is just sad, but true.
This was lovely! Seriously. Going to check out your other stuff as well.
Nothing much to say other than brilliant... this is brilliant! Thanks for sharing!
thanks, ser!
I watch a lot of videos about a lot of stuff and i gotta say man, that was a great video. I could hear the compassion and sadness in your voice which made it hit harder to drive your theory home. Well thought out and executed. I look forward to watching more.
Thanks :))
Well you just got all poetic at the end of this episode!
::)) I was trying be artsy lol
Oh dude, I could listen to your Voice all day, it's so calm and chilling c:
Thanks :))
You know mate, I really enjoy your work. Your insights open up a whole new level of appreciation for the show ... and will result in my re-watching the series with greater understanding of the story that i had not achieved by my self. I really love the passion you bring to your vids so please keep up the brilliant work AND as I've said before ... your voice is perfect for this medium. Thanks!
Thanks again, John :))
Ya..........what he said. (John Chilton) 👆🏻👍🏻
:))
And now later in the video you made a second reference to the song aswell. If i am not completely mistaken. You sir are awesome.
Lol yeh you caught them both. A lot of people got the second one, but not the first. Well done, my friend!!
I came here to learn not to feel, oof! This was beautiful, dude.
Thanks :))
"Hey Jojen, you alright buddy?" I laughed too hard at this
Wow I wasn't expecting to hear a 2Pac quote in this video and it fits so well. Excellent video, keep up the great work.
Two quotes :)
bridge4 can't believe I missed the first one 😢
One at approximately 2:46 and another one at approximately 5:33. Yeah, very cool. I enjoyed the way you slipped those two quotes into the video 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, k8tina :)
Lol, I tried doing the pause so that it would click for people. But I'm no rapper lol. So it's hard to tell I'm sure
Two of the most impacting deaths on GoT's show series to me that still hits me when I see them again... Hodor, and definitely Shireen. Saddened me to see these two go. That passage by Leaf that you explained too, the show "Avatar" came to mind in that we're destroying everything around us to where all animals, trees, everything we know, will soon be gone. Awesome narrative again bridge4, love hearing your videos and theories, keep 'em coming!
The singers made Bran sad. Watching this video made me sad. So much sadness. :(
lol im with ya
You have such an elegant voice and tone that it brought tears to my eyes at the end. Well done. Very good points and perspective.
Thanks :))
*to be clear*
I think the "children are evil" theories are completely outlandish. They go against the biggest theme of the story, which is about creating a better world for children. And tearing down the walls between ones own "team," and "the other's." (Whether that be men and singers, nights watch and freefolk, bigoted followers of rhllor and everyone else, sexual preference, gender orientation, and gender descrimination) and men (living) vs white walkers (presumably living)
Since their selflessness is so blatant, i didnt want to be captain obvious with: "they protected bran here, here, and here." So I jokingly said the opposite of what happened for those 4 or five events in and around the cave. Then ended it with grey worm saying "I made joke."
Originally I had my own vocals saying, "I'm kidding." It was clearer that way. Apologies for any misunderstanding
------
*A lot of good stuff in the pipeline!!*
Sad video next. Then the new, wild idea I came up with last week. Then the real Arya vs Mountain video. Maybe some other easy video squeezed in between some of those though.
I couldn't sleep last night. So I pulled an all nighter. Waiting another hour, making this public, then finally going to bed lol
------------------------

Omg “Aunt Kev” You seriously always seem to manage to get me right in the feels! Choked me up...yet again. Smh. But in the best way possible. ❤️
Was it the part about dan trying the tube on himself. I actually teared up 3 times while make the video bc of that part
It's hard to describe dan. He's one of a kind. The best of the beSt for sure
This was beautiful ...thanks buddy
Thanks :))
Dang that was a great video man. Thanks
Thanks :))
Deep and beautiful. Awesome video
Thanks, Mario :))
Thanks for that sound clip of Sir Davos, I cried at work. awesome
Lol my bad. I left out the climax quote too. But I hear. i actually stopped and reflected on how this part is a powerfully emotional delivery too.
I've never been affected by any kind of show, or movie (except The Land Before Time at 5 lol) like this one. It's a roller coaster to be sure. Just caught your channel dude, Love it.
Thanks, grant :))
That Bob Ross comment was absolutely Gold! From now on, I'll always see a " happy little waterdancer" everytime I see Syrio! You have the best Fandom Kev! Love QOT.🌹 🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲happy little trees
:)) yeah it cracked me up.
You were on that chain reaction other day if I recall correctly, right?
bridge4 Kev, still going on Mike young post about songs, presently on James Brown " Get on up offa Dat Thang and dance till ya feel betta " UNH! Gud God yall ..Camoan. .UNH!
Lol I know. I see them all. I just don't want to annoy you guys with hearts on every post. But I'be been reading them.:)
Oh wow. I'm speechless, you're totally right.
Man it's too early for me to cry.
Beautiful way to end the video.
My bad. :-/
And thanks :)
@@bridge4 lol i'm playing
I got a game of Thrones ad before watching this. I did not click skip because I love the intro
:))
Wait...Mirra ended Jojon to save him from being killed by the whytes and the CotF burned his body to save him from becoming one. No murder here!
Promise me, Ned
You are the best! You understand so much and explain it (to us dummies) so well. Thank you
I think that "evil scale" you used at the end was very wrong. The whole thing about ASOIAF is that there is no good or evil, everything is in between, with variation, but there are always good reasons on both sides of a conflict. Shireen was innocent, but also naïve, she would've made bad decisions, so you could call her potential evil, and Tywin did everything for the good of his family over his own, and he held balance and order in high regard, I think his motivations are very pure.
I'm going to guess that the evil scale was a bit tongue-in-cheek. The "scale" is set up but the measure of "how evil" given doesn't match that scale. Artistic!
Like ordering the brutal death of Elia martell?
Yeh. I was doing it as sort of a lure. tryING to lul yall into a low expectation. A number. And then I flip a 180, ignore the numbers, two compliments,pause, and "extinCT" with the last note of song hitting as same time as last word
The goal was to have a dramatic ending. But I guess it didn't work with a lot of people
I tried. That's the best I got :))
It was beautiful, great vid ! You should wright a love letter to GRRM one day
Haha I give him in love you type comments a lot in videos. I definitely have so much gratitude towards him. His stories have been, and will always be, fun rides :)
Just discovered this channel and I must say, the production value is insane, this is some high quality stuff right here. Keep at with that amazing voice!
Trying my best. Thanks for takiBFF the time to be so kind :))
Wow can't get enough of these. Will be back for more. I had lasagna earlier. It's made me sleepy 😂😂😂
What a marvelous piece of work you have created here.
thanks!
I love how tragic this is and how it can even apply to our own world and humanity. Beings and creatures who were around thousands of years before men and part of nature, now destroyed and forced away by men’s own hand and ignorance. George is absolutely brilliant
For sure! I'm so with you on this
Wassoll Das to each their own. I meant creatures like the unicorns, Giants, and Children were drove out and in the show went existent due to men coming over to Westeros. Interrupting nature’s balance and causing war by their pillage of the land and cutting down sacred trees for their own benefit. Kinda like what’s happening in today’s world with global warming, our oceans, and our forest. It’s all being carelessly destroyed due to our own oftentimes selfish needs regardless of the impact and consequences. I wouldn’t say man is nature’s true pride. We only see ourselves that way and everything that isn’t us, is somehow below us and this causes such a twisted mindset. We as men are supposedly the “smartest” of creatures yet don’t even care what we are doing to our own environment even though it’s our only home. We strive for more, more, more. Nature can be ugly, there’s no doubt. But it is also far more beautiful and it all works together in a balance I can respect. It at least corrects itself from time to time and I can’t say the same for mankind. I could be interpreting not as George intended, but it’s fun to speculate.
I have lost count of how many times i have gotten actual goosebumps and seriously smeared mascara. You such are a master of poignancy that i dont even mind having my emotions manipulated. Bitter-sweet in every breakdown.
Thanks randa :))) all credit to grrm and everyone involved in the show. They've got us sooo vested in this story that we feel it :))
Your narrating skills are so good...
Thanks :))
Your prose and commentary are heart wrenching and beautiful. It is humbling to know that someone else is moved by the depth and breadth of the undertones of this tale in the same way I am.
Bravo sir.
thanks, Jonah =))
Absolutely beautiful video. "I loved that girl!!! Like she was my own!!!!!" Brought a tear to my eye.
One of the best delivered scenes in the show. He is awesome :))
It's a little too early for tears but here I am anyway. Thanks for another video.
Sup Bilbo!
Great video man! Like how you used Pacs References.
When i say or think words I hear songs lol. So whenever the happens, I squeeze it in to script :)
Your voice keeps activating my subwoofer :D
his voice is pretty awesome… i give it 9 out of 10 freemans
Lol
Wow! Thank you Sir... Well written, great research, wonderfully executed.
thanks =))
The tupac line sealed it for me.. well done
The last minute of the video made me really sad :(
agreed :(
Even sadder than the red wedding :'(
I like to pretend that didn't happen. Thanks from the reminder
Great video ... very well put together !!
You Ser... Are one to watch!!
Much love to all GoT fans x
thanks, craig =))
Ugh I can’t wait for next season!!
Nicely done. You earned my subscription.
thanks, Joel =)) look forward to chatting with ya!
The Knight Is Dark and Full of Terror.
didn't know Batman was part of the show xD
It's a play on words in the books. Thoros tells arya, "some knights are dark and full of terror. War makes monsters of us all"
I found it interesting when I am re-watching Season 6 how they definitely have a focus on children and sweet candy, alcohol and men, and the little birds that Varys has in King’s Landing and Meereen. It makes the phrase “candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker” seem more real. Apparently, it was called “Reflections on Ice Breaking” by Ogden Nash.
I hope they're not extinct. I'm making a costume because they are my favorite characters in the show. I'm hoping more are found hiding out to carry on their race♥
If there are more, do you see them dying or surviving?
And did you see the line where she told bran that, at least in the books, there are no other children
bridge4 I think that they will survive. She may be trying to protect the others by saying that, or maybe she just doesn't know because of some hiding mojo that's keeping them safe ♥
So they can hide from the three eyed crow? Why? They don't like the children at the cave?
so beautiful yet so sad... you made me cry, mister
Grrm has the honor :-P
GOT has an intricate message of environmental protection. A true eye-opener indeed, which goes without saying the beautiful portrayal of men , so self obsessed with their petty lives, dwarfed by their own intellect, realize it too late when nature runs it's course to set things right.
For sure
How touching. Never thought the Singers were evil. Just trying to survive, like many of us. That's George for ya. Thx Kev!
Yes I see them as almost the opposite of evil. Bc imo, they're all dead now. So they left behind the fight to survive, and instead, went out to help "others," their old foe (men) survive
They are better than myself., that's for sure. So noble, if the extinction interpretation is true
Damn what a great video
Thanks, weeb :))
man you got some good tupac quotes in here
All I’m saying this guy is good at narrating. And excellent vid buddy
Thanks, Sai :))
it wasn't in my plans to cry today; thank you!
(your voice♡)
My apologies :-/
Two Tupac references...? Well done sir.
You got it! :))
I knew it. I was like are these tupac quotes I'm listening to.
one is the "misplaced hate"; what's the other one? thanks
The best GoT video I’ve seen yet outside of AltShiftX. Well done 👏🏼✊🏼
Thanks :))
I think she learned that no matter how much hate you have or how much you fight, you can never conquer the inevidable. She learned to pick her battles from learning from the mistakes she and her race made.
Fuck that was such a great video and I certainly did not expect that
Might have even shed a tear or two
Thanks :))
maybe she also learned how destructive it is to react to pain like men do. in other words, maybe she saw the futility in "being wroth.... swearing vengeance"
Omg! i can feel the GOT theme song in your background
5:28 I knew that was a Tupac reference right away, nice one!
:))
"Beautiful, selfless, and extinct " 😢😭
I love the way u ended it .
Great vid as always.
The ending was the first thing I did on this one. Including the last note ending on the word extinct :)
@@bridge4 so that was the emotional theme of this vid. Loved it.
:))
You have a great speaking voice!
thanks =))
I looooove this channel (I’ve actually shed a tear)
I don't see how anyone ever thought the Children were evil or that they tried to kill any of the heroes, that scene with the White Walkers they were definitely still evil. No, "Hey Buddy, get up!" well not unless they meant as an Undead.
yeah, i dont understand it either. so when i was making this, i couldnt even get myself to state the obvious "the child blows up a white to save bran"
i had to be sarcastic, and a lot of people dont realize i was joking lol
ah well. i tried =)
bridge4
Ha, I was about to say 😂...
She definitely turned her back to Bran to help him while he was in that trance. The craziness I found was that the fact Holdor got that way due to that whole scene.
I really appreciated this video here. Thank you.
