Dedicating Season 7 almost entirely to the “War of the 2 Queens” is a wonderful idea!!! Plus, having it be the normal 10 episodes feels right.
This was honestly cathartic to listen to. I choose to believe from now on that this was the real ending of the series.
Yeah Cersei losing due to her incompetence is basically what’s happening in the books. For example when the iron bank asks for where their moneys at, Cersei tells them to screw themselves. The iron bank doesn’t take it kindly and instead give Stannis (who’s still alive in the books) 20,000 mercenaries to take the iron throne
Now the character arcs make sense, huge improvement!
By the way, eliminating the ice dragon necessarily eliminates the terrible out-of-the-wall journey episode. You also make no mention of the Jon-Danaerys love story giving it the chance to develop in the final season, it would be very interesting to see Jon fall in love with an evil dictator knowingly, like a mirror to Jaime and Cersei
Jaime killing his sister and sitting on the throne is just the best ending for the insest couple
Well if we have to go with descending into madness this rout at least makes sense. Planting the seeds
Wow this was amazing, I was on the edge of my seat the whole. Can’t wait for season 8 rewrite 😀
Fuck yeah, I love the random Gendry sub-plot 👍🏻 It actually adds *extra* depth, though is totally new, refreshing, and unexpected.
And Cersei wouldn't be offended by Jaime calling her "dangerous". She'd most likely be turned on and take it as the highest compliment.
And Gilly subplot for the win.
P.S. Where is the season 8 rewrite haha?
I am so unhappy that Dany is going 'mad' here as well but its handled so well. The best part is that tyrion and Jon are intact. Sansa's scheming makes so much sense. She really is a force to be reckoned with here. Arya is relevant in an good way. I wish your rewrites covered some of the minor characters too like Brienne for example
Dany is definitely gonna go mad in the books. This is her character arc.
Oh snap Having Yara been named warden of the Riverlands it’s so monumentally great since it was her Danys ancestor Aegon who took the Riverlands back from the iron islanders when he burned Harrenhal
Ok, I'll subscribe. Can't wait to see what you do with season 8. Good work.
my only nitbits are no mention of varys and littlefinger either
nahhhhhhhhh i wish you were the writer, this is my canon
I very much enjoyed this. I loved your war of the two queens and all of Sanas' machinations.
I think you’re laying out how things need to unfold if we’re going to have a Daenerys go dark. That said, I do think you need to balance things a bit more with what she’d do good with power in Westeros. Remember, in Essos she didn’t just end slavery she also tried to set up a social safety net for the former slaves, listened to the issues that her subjects have by having audiences with ordinary people (not just the nobles). She also told Yara that the Ironborn would be banned from raiding & raping & it seemed like from her repeated remarks to Tyrion & others in Meereen that she’s somewhat anti-feudalism too (the degree is not clear, but that she wants more for the common people is clear).
If you’re going to have Daenerys go dark ok, but I think we need to see her also try and be a revolutionary in Westeros and get somewhat frustrated as it doesn’t work out as well as she hopes & this a contributing factor to her dark turn.
Thematically, I also think we need to do Daenerys dark turn very carefully because I don’t think Martin is a cynic or nihilist--he has repeatedly denied he is--who thinks we shouldn’t try to make the world a better place. I think Season 8 of GoT via what it does with Daenerys (& Jamie!!!) ends up being nihilistic & misanthropic-it says trying to make the world a better place is pointless.
If you’re going to have Daenerys go dark and not be the person to carry that idea of making the world a better place forward, we’re gonna need someone else to step into a spot (Sansa or Jon or Tyrion & Varys) are obvious candidates.
I very much look forward to seeing your season 8 rewrite.
Love it! Way better than how the show finished and probably closer to how the books will be done.
Great Writer, Can’t wait for Season 8
Publish videos more often Yo! I almost forgot I subbed you lmao. Your reviews were so enjoyable before
Only improvement with the Yara/Asha plot would be her being titled "Warden of the Isles and Rivers" instead of just Warden of the Riverlands, though it's no biggie. Just a little callback to Westeros's past. Really liking this rewrite. I think it's the eighth rewrite I've watched so far. I swear I have a life outside of this...😓
Using the execution of the Tarleys as a good example of Danny going mad is a terriable idea Just from the fact that Ned who is considered the most honorable and just person in the shows history, whi would always pass the execution himself of any judgment he made Why would Danny doing the same make it seem like she would go mad ?
People didn't fear Eddard Stark, they did fear Aerys Targaryen and fire, burning a lord alive whether it was justified or not will not be taken well by the Lords of Westeros.
You should have Eurons dragon horn be giant and have a valyrian cast around it and also have Eurons valyrian steel armor from the books and have jon take possesion of both for his fight against the Night King and also have the dragon horn not work for Euron but work for Jon (because of his Valyrian heritage) after Danny goes mad and he needs to take possesion of her dragons
Just found this video. I love your take on this season! I’m very curious to see what you would do with season 8
I don’t like the mad queen dany thing but if they were going to do they definitely should’ve done it like this
I like this rewrite. It makes sense.
Really just the whole series from season 1 needs a rewrite. The show left out soooooooo many book plots and stuff
So Cersei doesn't know that the Tyrell kill Jeoffrey ?
personally,i don't like the "danny is a baddie like her daddy" just another power hungry lord, just as mad as her father, "and you supported her, how disappointing eh? she's just as mad and bad as her dad, never believe a dictator folks! power corrupts even the best of us. wahmp wahmp. looks like no one wins in the game of thrones afterall." i'm just glad you didn't say she sics her dragons on the populace as well, (though that may come later, as she gets more insane and power hungry, later leading to "burn them all!" *jon kills danny" at the end of S8) and go the whole "she's super hitler! the hitler FLIIIES!" and add like, allusions to the wehrmacht bombing london, although, maybe that's something that comes later. personally i think it's more interesting fi she's not "just another power hungry corrupt monarch, tsk tsk,shoulda never trusted dragon lady, everyone told you, here everyone was saying don't trust the targaeryen, they're all crazy, you know what happened with the last one, even her brother was bad, i mean, you shoulda seen it coming really, watching her brother be painfully killed, crucifying slavers, being ruthless to her enemies? all bad signs. red flags really." and have her stay true to her "breaking the wheel" ideals, being a caring, if ruthless to her enemies,leader, not a power crazed, brutal politician who thirsts un-yieldingly for power at any and all costs. another cercei, another aegon. like this isn't,i'm saying this out of some "it just takes a god guy with a **-dragon-** " ism-ing, it's not some "ShEz PuRdY sO i DuN wAn HeR 2 b EvUl!1!1!" shit, maybe this is boring to you, or most others, maybe in the books she'll be mad as well, but personally, i don't think making her into Super HitlerTM(the hitler that flies!) is as interesting. but hey, maybe i just don't want my sexy dragon lady 2b evul. like i'm not trying to strawman you Posh Prick, or anything, i get this is just YOUR take on how to make the show not be such a let down, and i couldn't write a better story, (i couldn't write A story, i'm at best an ideas guy,and even that takes a long time to produce,not that i've produced anything, like 0.01% of this shit has been written down, if that.) i'm just, trying to offer *my* take on the "danny goes evil" arc. *shrug* but maybe it's a bad take. idk, i wouldn't be surprised if it was. hope i've made sense, and not pissed you or anyone off thinking i'm just making strawmen to feel better about my shit arguments.
feedback?
opinions?
no?
POST EDIT: i like the other stuff tho.
yeah her dad was not always mad, but he was always cruel and full of shit. He, as the only son, had illusions of grandeur since birth basically. When he was 18 and ascended to power, he decided to make Tywin Lannister as the youngest hand of the king. What's worse is that he gave it to Tywin as a reward for slaughtering hundreds of women and children at Castamere.
@@conrad4852 oh hey, a reply i'm very sure i never got...
@@bensonfang1868 i don't remember enough about what i typed out there to know what you're talking about/what that's in reference to. uuh, tywin being rewarded for that with that position honestly explains a lot about how he came to be how he is.
ok,1 year ago,not as likely to be cringe, 8 likes, 2 replies, ok,maybe i don't delete this one... still dont' remember what all i typed down here,i don't remember most of it TBH and i'm not reading through all that. uuuuh. yeah.
@@cobraglatiator LOL! I was responding to both you & Posh Prick
Whoa whoa whoa. Where did the wildfire in Casterly Rock and King's Landing come from? We need to know when it was hidden there exactly, but the bigger problem is when it was made. The stuff in King's Landing took years and years to make and stash. You can't just magic enough to destroy two cities all of a sudden. Bit of a plot problem there.
Loads better. Delaying the white Walker battle until s8 is the way forward. Also, character arcs all in tact. Nice work
Yeah Tyrion pretty much just became a mouth piece for the writers to justify their ending because he was the fans favorite character up till season 5
Great Rewrite
Really good - will the Season 8 rewrite be coming out soon?
this is sooo good!!!!!!!!
Can you do season 8?
Where the season 8 rewrite?
Where's season 8?
Just Let Brienne of Tarth survive to the End of the show and I'll be happy with whatever you do with the ending
25:00 I would have killed Viserion just so Jon can ride rhaegal
*varys left the chat*
Brienne?
Posh, why don't you have more subs? Seriously. I wish I could transfer all of mine over to you because I don't deserve it. I just make dumb videos every once in a while in between creating compilations. You're the one putting actual effort in.
Where is varys
1:05 start of video
Where varys
I like this better. but your delivery of every sentence having the same rhythm pace and inflection made it hard to follow. Take your time and deliver it with more story.
Wait a minute, they made a season seven?*
* [Me wishing I'd stopped watching at season 5.]
