There was only one thing Sandor Clegane loved more than not being on fire: revenge.
my favorite characters in the series are Sandor and Arya
In the words of Emilia Clarke " Best season ever!" ... 😂😂😂
VAREYS: "I hope I deserve this. Truly I do."
Nope. You didn't deserve it. You were right Vareys.
Actually,....he wasn't
About a year prior, he made a pledge to Dany that if he ever felt that she was doing wrong in her role as ruler and queen, that he would tell her directly instead of scheming behind her back and that if she ever found out that he had been scheming behind her back, she would execute him.
She kept her part of that bargain.
He didn't.
He deserved to die.
By his own pledge.
The more I rewatch it the more I realize this is unironically an excellent episode. The tension, the drama, the goodbyes, the blow off, the sense of treachery, the heartbreak, all of it hits right in the fucking feels. Dany's is a long telegraphed parable for the lusture of power and end justifying the means. Yeah the Dany turn could've been done differently, but let's be real. What actually made most of them angry wasn't the crudeness of the turn, it was the "I rooted for her so long for this?" factor. It's the heart-rending way the script is flipped on Cersei and Jaime and Valonqar. It was the old regime suddenly feeling more humane with those visuals of Lannister soldiers desperately ushering people to safety. It was the level of unexpected brutality unleashed by the heroes(TM) in conquering a city. It was the psychology of war at its purest form. We've seen pictures of liberated Dresden or Mosul and it's not all that different. It takes a lot out of you emotionally. It only speaks to the level of investment people had on this show for them to be that bothered. If something happening in a TV show can make people this angry, then its existence is justified.
Why in theory I did not have a problem with Daenerys going mental and destroying Kings Landing and her people, the season really needed the 10 full episodes to allow more time for her character to continue her mentally change. Yes, there were some seeds planted to begin to show her crumbling, but it just needed more time to convince me of her change.
They needed more seasons imo. George was correct.
Burning people alive, has been what gets her wet since season 1. It's ENTIRELY in character. For 8 seasons, she planned to go murder as many people as it takes, just to claim something she has no right to, so she can tell everyone how to live their lives. And her answer to virtually every problem she's been presented with was, "Well, I'll just burn everyon with my dragons!!". She was absolutely fine with the dothraki, looting and raping half of Westeros as long as she didn't have to watch, and got the power she wanted. I swear, if she'd been fat and had a bent nose, but identical scenes, people would have seen her for what she always was. And then there's all the times the people close to her, had to talk her out of even more burnings.
@Cannibal Teddy No one is saying we didn't know or disagree with her going mad.. it just felt so rushed & emotionless.
@@ashscott6068 Yes.. we know this lol
@@d3l3tes00n Wasn't rushed. They were practically telegraphing it in the last 2 seasons. And then there is the question of why were you not convinced that it was possible for an absolutist megalomaniac with a penchant for violence to go rogue on the civilians of KL.
I absolutely love this episode. It's beautiful, it's tragic, it's breathtaking, it's everything that I would've expected how a show that specialized on subverting your expectations would've ended.
Y'all - watch Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm) in Interview w/ the Vampire. He's ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
This episode would've been great if it was 10x9 lol
10 seasons it’s way too much. Nah, the show should have lasted 8 seasons, with 10 episodes each. It’s about quality, not cuantity
@@mauro5831 quality over quantity doesn’t mean quantity doesn’t matter. There was so much happening near the end of GOT and the last 2 seasons being of shorter length contributed to the unsastifactory ending of storylines
@@mauro5831 and the truncated absurdly rushed and breakneck paced final seasons were terrible quality compared to the slow methodical political drama of the early seasons.
The “quality over quantity” argument is only valid when the thing you receive is actually quality. Lol
Which pretty much every fan who gave a shit universally thought was the case.
@@harmie1743 Nah. 8 seasons it’s perfect , but they should have 10 episodes each
@@moviebad109 Nah, quality over quantity always. That’s why the show ended up so lame
yall watch house of the dragon!!!! youll love it
I didn't mind Dany losing it, I didn't read the books, but I figured Kings Landing was gonna be destroyed. But make it make sense. It was a bit rushed and I feel it could've been done differently with same results. Many actors on the show didn't like the way it ended.
Here, I'll answer any question. What doesn't make sense?
He never finished the Books. Jon is still dead in the books, and I will probably be dead or he will before we know what really happened! Yeah, I read them. Still waiting on Winds of Winter, then there is a book after that. So no it will never get finished. I watched the show for closure, knowing this.
@@sandraellis7397 I read the books too, but I'm talking about the show. What in the show didn't make sense to you?
@@SerbAtheist None of it makes sense, no matter what way you look at it Dany killing thousands of peasants is bad writing.
The only credible reason for her sudden anger tantrum is the death of Missandei but the entire reason she became close with missandei is because Dany views herself as the champion of the commonfolk so if anything seeing Missandei would make Dany even more obsessively devoted to protecting the innocent peasants. Also if she is so angry then why didn't she fly straight to the red keep and kill cersei thats how anger works you get tunnel vision, what Dany did makes no sense no matter what way you slice it.
@@moe5020 Of course things don't make sense if your understanding of the show is wrong.
-The burning of KL was not anger. It was wrath. It was brutal, cold-hearted and methodical. It was above all a viscious and threatening message to any town who would ever dare disobey her again: This is what will happen to you if you don't kneel immediately.
-Dany never cared about the commonfolk, or she would have hightailed it the moment she saw they didn't need or want a savior.
-Dany never cared about the Targ legacy or she would have gladly kneeled before Aegon Targaryen, the one true king.
-Dany above all cared about being powerful and satiating her ego through either being admired or being feared.
Sandor and Arya really were best friends in the end 😢
On the contrary Jaime going back to Cersei is the most fitting end for his character and makes way more sense than any Disney cringelord revenge kill satisfying ending you had in mind for cersei. Them dying together is tragic, it's beautiful and self sacrifice is the height of actual redemption. Far better than any Arya face swapping revenge killing Cersei disney good vs evil crInge. My condolences to the MCU/Disney brainrots who doesn't understand Sophocles & were hurting that they didn't get their little ice zombie flaming lightsaber anime swordfight.
The only thing I enjoyed about this episode was the epic battle between the Mountain and the Hound!
Girl put your glasses on 😂
Cersei and Daenerys deserved so much better 😢
@You alright boi ? what?
You guys should watch House of the Dragon next
Jon should have taken Rhaegal after the battle of winterfell and and rode him down to Kings landing while Daenerys did her thing and that way he could have stopped her better when she went crazy
Can someone please explain to me the thing with Arya and the horse? I don't get it, at all
It symbolizes hope amidst the carnage.
@@SerbAtheist thank you!
Pointless symbolism.
A crutch for lazy storytelling by D & D.
@@Cbricklyne the correct answer.
Doesn’t take much chum to feed apologists
Explanation => dumb.
You're welcome.
Any chance of BoJack coming back at all?
That's a very good question....
But I'm afraid of the girls answer 😞
They called me a mad man
She always said she would take what "is her's" with fire and blood. What did you think she meant?
Her birthright (The Iron Throne).
And from those who stole it from her family (the Lannisters).
Not the commonfoik
@@Cbricklyne well sweetie you weren't paying attention. She only said many times about burning cities to gain power. She has told us herself over and over and over again how all she cares about is being queen. She has been Hitler all along. She might have fooled you, but she never fooled me
Read Fire and Blood. Baela says the same thing to Rhaenys Targaryen her grandmother
@@itsthatgirl98_ and it always means the same thing. Killing people by burning them alive for power. I HATE the Trashgaryens
Ah yes. A line of dialogue that people use to justify a beloved and complex character suddenly burning babies and children alive. Classic.
Congratulations girls, you made it to the bells, now the question is: did you choose the right side in this war??
I can’t think of a single character (besides maybe Jorah, Qyburn, the mountain and Sam) that didn’t have their character changed to fit the plot. Dani is evil because…the ending. Tyrion is a moron because… dumb people can’t write smart characters. Jon is a simp because…the writers don’t know how to write romantic tension and kept forgetting plot points. It’s all just so terrible
Bro yall literally skipped over Varys being burned alive AND Dany telling Tyrion about Jamie 🤷🏽♀️
Oh you thought THIS was bad?? (Singing) You juuuust waaaaiittt...
kings landing had it coming. go Dany
I’m getting to the point where I’m pretty sure when people say stuff like this they just want attention. She burned infants, pregnant women, kids calling for their parents, innocent men and women and animals. Not to mention the fact that she had a stillborn child so clearly she feels something for children and babies. It doesn’t matter how many warlike actions she takes in the series or how many times she has something bad happen to her, this is simply not something that she would have done. Point blank.
@@syntheticreality549 these are the people that cheered for Ned and Tyrion to die. fuck em.
House of the Dragon next
She did say she wanted to break the wheel not just stop it or redirect it. Also i think GOT fans were too focused on fulfilling their own personal desires when it came to the ending of the characters. The way people were writing off the entire show based on one season is ridiculous. This is what happened and it is what it is. The show is still one of the best if not the very best ever. Things aren't always going to go the way you want. People crave fan service too much and love fairytale endings. Don't get it twisted though, the last 3 seasons were definitely on a downward spiral; especially the writing. Alot more noticeable in season 7 and 8 for sure. The show is still great OBJECTIVELY.
We shall always have seasons 1-4😭
Please y’all have to react to House of the Dragon pleaseeee
I was so angry the last two episodes.
Sansa called it. The signs were there.
Just a normal bro big coping about not getting that Jon Snow and his flaming lightsaber vs All Powerful Ice Demon anime sword fight, eight episode long, on some Goku vs Frieza shit. Also, Cersei wasn't the final boss....like that was the whole point. It was the story of failed revolutions, autocracy and liberation, putting your faith in monsters, and what you really wanted staring back at you and it doesn't look any desirable anymore. Hue, so I watched 7 seasons, read 5 books of a story about grey characters dealing with each others, trying to subvert popular tropes, and you’re telling me that it’s not going to end with the most basic, cliche, predictable battle between one-dimensional heroes and one-dimensional villains? I swear man those writers!!
Daenerys snapped, I mean honestly you lose a confidant in a war with the dead that you've had with you since the beginning. Everyone's kind of flaking out on you and you lose your best friend when she gets beheaded by the person you can't stand the most in this world... I think any normal person would have snapped but every normal person doesn't own a dragon. You see it's why we don't have dragons hahaha
Rewatching it the danny switch up feels even more unearned cheap. You murdered my friend so I’ll abandon all the principles & character development of the previous seasons.
I’m fine with her going mad queen but shoulda built it up more
You guys are upset that Cersei died an anticlimactic death in the very episode that is supposed to drive home the theme of how vengeance is bad, evil and soul-corrupting?
Don’t pretend like D&D thought that far ahead. This isn’t some clockwork orange shit where you can really dig into the authors opinions on morality. This is just lazy and base level.
@@syntheticreality549 You honestly think the extended harrowing shots of 'good guys' (TM) committing grievous war crimes was some sort of an accident? Sure, you may not like it, but the flippant refusal to even consider what the show is doing is beyond lame.
@@SerbAtheist no I’m not refusing what they were trying to do, I’m saying their not smart people and unintelligent people cannot write smart characters or smart stories. I’ve seen season 8 several times because I like seeing my freinds and families reactions to it and seeing how genuinely upset they get at how damn bad it is. And every time I pay close attention. I’ve come to the honest conclusion that the bells is a terrible episode that ruins everything the series built up. And we already know that D&D are borderline morons who don’t understand the characters. House of the dragon has been incredible though.
Unfortunately it gets worse next ep somehow lol
Euron was such a better character in the books
I recommend you ladies replace this show with Black Sails.
I have to admit this was the first episode I absolutely HATED, they turned the breaker of chains(My Queen) into a mass murderer, whats worse she does this AFTER she had already won, the cleverest person(Varys) on the show gets himself executed leaving the only surviving former slave who’s name we knew (Grey Worm) to become a war criminal, the Northern Army become accomplices to that massacre & to some degree so are Tyrion Davos & Jon (three of my absolute favs) and Cersei (another mass murderer) gets a soft death?! Like really!!! ARYA(MY GIRL) should’ve have gotten that kill, and in turn the night king should’ve been Jon’s. I was more than ok that she got the night king up until this episode.
'Like really!!! ARYA(MY GIRL) should’ve have gotten that kill, and in turn the night king should’ve been Jon’s.'
You really seem to have confused Game of Thrones with some sort of superhero extended universe.
@@SerbAtheist Lol, you’re confusing me with D&D. Anyways, that’s rich coming from a person with that typical “I and only I know what true art is” snobby vibe, you do realize you’re in the comment section of a youtube video. I have to lol again, as if I haven’t read the books 3x already. Oh and btw, other than The Boys, I’ve probably seen a total of 3 superhero movies (all xmen) out the 50-60 that are out there and only one within the last 5 year, for no reason other than lack of interest. What is it, they say about people who assume?
@@toomuchsauce5599 You don't need to be an art snob to realize that Game of Thrones was never about the good guys triumphantly vanquishing the bad guys in a typical Hollywood fashion.
@@SerbAtheist LOL! Since you basically repeated the same thing twice now, I’m gathering you think that I think that way for suggesting Arya killing Cersei, ok. I’ll admit that scenario is more wishful thinking, than what I think will actually happen in the books. That said by this episode the story has already been butchered enough by D&D, why not give Cersei to Arya? I bet it would’ve been a way better scene than what we got. For that to have been possible they would’ve had to give the Night King to someone else, mostly like Jon or Bran, or let the night king win I don’t care, as long as that meant Arya would get Cersei. That said, GOT completely stopped being GOT by The Long Night(season 7 really but I liked it up until then) BTW OF COURSE almost nothing in GOT is done in any “Hollywood fashion”, except for maybe the cinematography. I mean you have to give it to Hollywood, they really know their CGI. Anyways, you don’t think everyone else has figured that out by now?
@@toomuchsauce5599 Why not give Cersei to Arya? You asking that question like the baddies are some sort of Christmas presents the good guys pass around with each other. And then you have the gall to ask questions like '[Y]ou don’t think everyone else has figured that [Game of Thrones is not like Hollywood] by now?
Here is the reason Arya didn't kill Cersei, bub. Because the point of Arya's story was to become a human being again, and being a rage-filled killing machine wearing inhuman dead masks masquerading as life is the opposite of being a human being. To put it in even plainer terms: Arya was Bilbo and revenge killings were the ring of power and the Hound was Gandalf.
Ditto, on the 'breaker of chains'. The point of Dany's story was that she was not a 'breaker of chains' but a relentless power-hungry sociopath that only pretended to be good insofar as it secured her power and admiration. And in case you haven't noticed, she was a mass murderer long before KL.
Show way to loud can hardly here you
Terrible season, disgusting and pathetic end for a great show overall, stories that make no senses, incoherent end... so many plotlines left open. But at least House of the Dragon sort of redeems this a bit. Should watch next please!
Omg. Watch any episode of HOTD versus any season 8 episode of GOT & the the dialogue is painful! I wasn't the biggest fan of episodes 1-5 of HOTD (LOVED 6-10), but they still felt like it was in the Westeros universe. Even season 7 of GOT sounded too modern when they spoke. Such a different vibe.
Seasons 7 of GOT is one of the worst seasons of Television I've ever seen. Waaay worst than Season 8.
This episode is a 10/10 though..(minus the stupid Cleagane Bowl scene)
@@iskywalking420 S7 started the "time & distance no longer matter" thing which became very noticeable. There are a bunch of episodes & scenes in S7 I enjoy, but you could feel the different in tone/writing.
@@d3l3tes00n The time jumps started in season 6 but went hyper mode in 7. The plot in 7 made NO sense and felt like it was written by a couple of 12 year old fans....
"lEtS cAtcH wHiTe aNd sHoW cErseI.... " ..... ummm .... what?!
@@d3l3tes00n Right.. HOTD's writing is ridiculously basic and boring. There are NO likeable characters and it's mostly boring. Even at it's slowest and worst, GoT had some of the best writing and acting ever seen on TV.
It's worth saying again. If the Asian lady is single, is it okay to fall in love with her?
No. Don't be a creep
stop. that's creepy.
she's 17 you creep
As someone who only enjoys the first 5 seasons of the series and hates seasons 6-8.... I LOVE this episode. One of the best in the series. IDGAF what the parrots say. I was waiting for her to torch KL since Season 1. Only thing I didn't care for was the Cleagane Bowl. I thought that was stupid, but I love how angry this episode makes people.
Found the Sith
@Swift Justice ... I've never seen anything StarWars related (despite my handle). Don't get the reference you nerd.
Why hate S6-8. Tons of great stuff in there, some of the best in fact.
@@SerbAtheist less tragedy than the Previous seasons, you know Characters don't die or suffer whenever they make call. Like Ramsey should have been tied up and thrown at Jon's feet for being a Kinslaying monstrous bastard, Sansa inviting the Army of the Vale over should made her look like a Vale puppet, we should have been shown (or told about) Meereen falling apart after Dany left, and her being disturbingly okay with the news (if we're still having her burn King's landing) and perhaps Kings landing should have been burned before we had to deal with the Dead, with the reveal of Jon's ancestry devaluing Dany's control over Dragon's and giving him an option to not have to rely on a mass murderer.
@@vincegalila7211 Less tragedy? What the hell are you smoking? Hold the door, death of Missandrei, the absolute carnage of the Long Night, not to mention the massacre of King's Landing.
When people say things 'should' happen in a work of art, they are usually talking either about their wish fulfillment or biases. Why the f*** should Ramsey's final scene be with Jon and not his main victim? Why does RESCUING JON FROM CERTAIN DEATH make Sansa look like a 'Vale puppet'? Why should we hear of Mereen anymore and distract our focus from the main storyline just because fans are getting angsty over the inevitable end of the show? And finally, why should Jon's ancestry 'matter' in a show that is all about how primogeniture is a stupid way to determine a ruler that causes nothing but endless wars of succession?
