He was proud of his choices. His choices allow him to be with the woman he loved, father 3 sons which 2/3 he had the chance to raised along side Rhaenrya. He had the chance to meet all three. He was happy with the choices he made. It was a pleasure seeing beating up that bitter weasel.
Criston was a goddamn hypocrite. He shames Rhaenyra for her loose morals yet he himself was willing to take advantage of those loose morals himself. He’s only pissed because she rejected him.
the goodbye scene breaks my heart so much because him and Rhaenyra couldn't even properly say goodbye, and you can see how much she was holding back and literally holding her tears back, ugh and then they never got to see each other again :( and Joffrey never got to know his father ughhhh
True true. In the books the boys publicly deny being bastards and proclaim themselves as Targaryens but I think it would be cool if we see Jace privately being proud to be a Strong
He grounded her, he was the true love of her life. Kind, honest, with no ambition except being with her. Daemon and Rhaenyra have a connection with their house, expectations and power and they get power and comfort from each other, not really love, Harwin was her love
His honor had more value that the hyprocrite honor in the realm , for him honor was taking care of his love ones even in the shadow. He was a real father and husband without the labels , it's so sad that he died that way. I will be crying the rest of the series for him.
Those who have good intentions and are noble by nature always are the first who die, in a game like that you have to embrace your "inner darkness" and be ruthless to survive. The best and most common example: Ned Stark. He acted with honor and attempted to do "the right" , thing that made him lose and quickly was eliminated at the hands of his enemy, he made the mistake of telling the enemy about the carts he had and would use
He was such a good man. He clearly loves his kids and Rhaenyra more than anything. Even when being exiled, he didn't have any regrets and you know he'd do it all again in a Heartbeat. I do appreciate that Luke and Jace got to know him and somewhat be raised by him, unlike Joff who will never know who he even was.
He was happy to have her any way he could. To have his sons even if they didn’t bear his name. Christon never would have been able to stomach that. He was stupid to taunt a loving father in front of his own kids
George RR Martin shared that he wants to write a novel about Harwin and Rhaneyra and I’m here for it. Fanfics are nice and all but we need a 10 year story for the author himself
And he did, for nearly a decade he did it, he look after his sons, raised and trained them and thanks to that Jace and Luke became noble and good-nature at heart
At the beginning, I didn't really like him. I thought he was savage and had no class. But I was so wrong, it turned out harwin is a very fine knight with honor and pride. Oh and he is the strongest, too. No wonder Ryenra went for him. In contrast, what Criston did really has no class. What a whiny boy.
Yeah we need an additional episode between 5 and 6 for Laena and for Harwin Strong, 100% agree! Damn I would have taken a season of 11, 12 or even 13 episodes in fact.
i Loved this character and his dynamic with rhaenyra and their children,I will miss him, in our hearts forever dear precious guard knight. 🖤 ps: wondeful edit, always bringing us works of art 💯
I definitely didn't have much of an opinion about Breakbones in Fire & Blood, and his first few episodes made me cringe a little. But he won me over in Ep. 6 and it hit me in the feels when he and his father died. Worst of all, he won't be around to fight for his sons and to get his revenge on Cole. Oh the fight that could have been...
@@CarlosMartinez-ff8uf Unfortunately he died the same way in the books but the suspect was not as clear, though I wish they changed that part in the books and make it that he survive the part. They’ve already changed some stuff in the show so i really wish we get to see harwin more
I’m really hoping we get a reaction from her and the show runners don’t just sweep Harwin’s death under the rug. If they’re smart it should be a catalyst for Jace’s anger when he lashes out at Aemond after he makes the “Strong” joke
Harwin Strong is my favorite character and he kind of had maybe four five small scenes, there are many who think like me, shows how bad this is for the show that they cut his character off... Very bad, he was the second John Snow, huge potential for his character to grow and make this show great, I don't prefer Damon, story between him and Rhaenyra is too weird even for a Tv show... Harwin Strong should be the one who wins Rhaenyra at the end...
Is there a hope that Ser Harwin is still alive? Despite the fact in the books he dies in fire, the creators can change the story as it was for Jorah Mormont… he would’ve died earlier instead they carried him on! I really hope so
How does he have such a following when he has like less than 4 minutes of screentime? Not to mention the fact that we only really see the tail end of the relationship right before he dies?
If the princess married harwin in the the 1st place none of this would’ve happened but at the same time it wouldn’t have worked she needed a powerful lord who had wealth nd lands etc nd her cousin had that.
they do..all of three are brave and strong and good like their father, in the books he trains all of them and he leaves when joff is older not like in the show.
Rhaenyra and her lovers are legit entertaining. Daemon the hottie #1. Laena the hottie #2. Harwin the Honorable Daddy. Laenor the Unbed. Crispy the Bitter (a traitor but he still managed to smash her). All this while she's suppose to be fat in the book. No wonder Alicent is so angry and bitter. (yeah yeah i know.. but it was implied in the books that rhaenyra, laena and daemon we so close they would visit each other often and its just the 3 of them and that one of this visit resulted with their kids betrothal to one another)
If only Rhaenyra had chosen Harwin when Viserys allowed her to pick her husband. Then Harwin would've been her husband and none of her sons would be accused of being bastards cause through Westeros law and marriage they'd be Harwins kids and nobody would dare call them bastards and make fun of them. And most of all it wouldn't be an excuse for the greens to hate Rhaenyra.
The tragedy I do think he loved her, I think Rhaenyra loved him in a way, especially as her children's father. Aegon loved his nephews, Alicent and Otto poisoned him all he ever wanted to be was a party boy, not a king. Ser Cristan love Rhaenyra, I do think Rhaenyra loved him in the beginning too like first love, and I think Alicent was in love with her, then she and Cristan bonded over their hatred of the woman they both loved for not loving them back as they wanted her too. While Damon always loved Rhaenyra and sick as it is she loved him too. Varys The Spider "When I see what love has done to this country, I am proud to say I take no part in it."
Harwin reminds me of the Hound from GOT. Not as legendary, wise or skilled as a warrior but definitely a cool character. I wish he got more spotlight other than a short presence in four episodes. I always loathed Criston Cole because he comes across as your generic pretentious douchebag with no honor, morals or value to his name. He's usually doing the worst and the most spiteful, and morally wrong things in the show. Showed his true colors at the wedding. Cole antagonized Harwin for no reason other than being an ass and wanted him to lash out at him and lose his job. It was psychologically planned. Cole acts like a total beta cuck simp for the queen (like Larys Strong). Harwin had a rough and potentially a ruthless and a chaotic personality but he was a good, caring and a loving family man. I'm still team Green and support them entirely for the most part but there are definitely individuals in it that I would prefer it without. Would have enjoyed seeing his character grow. Definition of wasted potential from the creators or GRRM. I miss this character already. We could all use some energy from him. RIP to a great and an honorable person Ser Harwin Strong. He deserved better. I believe he's the real father.
Not too easily tho don't forget they lived like that for 10 yrs clearly this wasn't the first time criston pulled this shit & he finally snapped. The show just time skipped everything
He was proud of his choices. His choices allow him to be with the woman he loved, father 3 sons which 2/3 he had the chance to raised along side Rhaenrya. He had the chance to meet all three. He was happy with the choices he made. It was a pleasure seeing beating up that bitter weasel.
Alicent would have gotten him killed anyway. At least he got to beat criston’s face in
@@allieabg If he lived long enough to go Dragonstone with her, he may have been a formidable Master at Arms...
@@aegonbreakspear9102 just imagining this gives me goosebumps 😭 can you imagine what he would have done after Aemond did what he did?! 😭
I really really wish they let him live just a bit longer 😭
Criston was a goddamn hypocrite. He shames Rhaenyra for her loose morals yet he himself was willing to take advantage of those loose morals himself.
He’s only pissed because she rejected him.
After Daemon, he is the most loved one, the most beautifully portrayed character.
I loved how Ser Leanor let him be with his sons too
He's my fave over Daemon any day
Matt Smith is awesome.
But Daemon is a murderer who kills innocent people.
U mean was
He is better than daemon relationship wise
the goodbye scene breaks my heart so much because him and Rhaenyra couldn't even properly say goodbye, and you can see how much she was holding back and literally holding her tears back, ugh and then they never got to see each other again :( and Joffrey never got to know his father ughhhh

Forget Daemon...Harwin is the best for Rhaenyra. (I know he dies) he still is the best man she ever had. They deserved better.
It's true, Larys knew as much another reason he killed his own family....
He grounded her, he was the true love of her life. Kind, honest, with no ambition except being with her. Daemon and Rhaenyra have a connection with their house, expectations and power and they get power and comfort from each other, not really love, Harwin was her love
I am Daemyra but i agree with you. Harwin Is a great man..
@@aegonbreakspear9102 Ooooo i hate this filthy worm
@@ericacalcagno2329 He had Husband and Father material written all over him man...
Despite not following Westerosi tradition, he truly showed virtue and devotion. From the shadows he was a protector and a father and own it
His honor had more value that the hyprocrite honor in the realm , for him honor was taking care of his love ones even in the shadow. He was a real father and husband without the labels , it's so sad that he died that way. I will be crying the rest of the series for him.
good people generally on't last long when the game get serious . Even the originally good ones will have to become monsters .

''I will return, I promise.''
'' the next time we see each other...we'll talk about your mother. I promise''
The promise that can't kept😭
That's a death cue l.
How many North man need to loose their heads before they realize honor gets you killed?
It reminded me of ned Stark's promise to jon snow
@@lululemon0424 We should have known the moment he said it.
Ned and Harwin, the best fathers to bastards
He was such a good man. He clearly loves his kids and Rhaenyra more than anything. Even when being exiled, he didn't have any regrets and you know he'd do it all again in a Heartbeat. I do appreciate that Luke and Jace got to know him and somewhat be raised by him, unlike Joff who will never know who he even was.
Strong contrast between Cristen here, Ceisten wants honour in name.
Harwin does what he thinks is right and decides what honour is for himself.
He was happy to have her any way he could. To have his sons even if they didn’t bear his name. Christon never would have been able to stomach that. He was stupid to taunt a loving father in front of his own kids
The fact that he never snitched on Nyra makes me respect and love him even more.
George RR Martin shared that he wants to write a novel about Harwin and Rhaneyra and I’m here for it. Fanfics are nice and all but we need a 10 year story for the author himself
YES, PLEASE

Let him finish winds of winter first lol
Hell yes
The most honorable thing he could've done is be present in his son's lives, be support for Rhaenyra, and protect her.
And he did, for nearly a decade he did it, he look after his sons, raised and trained them and thanks to that Jace and Luke became noble and good-nature at heart
Someone here said Harwin Strong (& his father Lyonel) are like off-label Starks. I thought that was on point!
Wow amazing. He has always been loyal to her the best man and father! ❤️
At the beginning, I didn't really like him. I thought he was savage and had no class. But I was so wrong, it turned out harwin is a very fine knight with honor and pride. Oh and he is the strongest, too. No wonder Ryenra went for him.
In contrast, what Criston did really has no class. What a whiny boy.
His honor is his family, built on love, real love.
I am liking every video there is about Harwin Strong right now 😭 Wish there was at least one more episode with him in it.
You did him justice.
It’s funny how Viserys talks about Harwin Strong being the perfect match for Rhaenyra sarcastically but in reality it was true all along 😢
I wish we had a episode between five and six to develop them . That last look has SOOO much chemistry it’s crazy ❤❤❤ love the edit
Yeah we need an additional episode between 5 and 6 for Laena and for Harwin Strong, 100% agree! Damn I would have taken a season of 11, 12 or even 13 episodes in fact.
Yeah, because the bond they had was clearly the healthiest and most transparent in HOTD and definitely one the most in the World of Westeros
I’m still so sad 😢 he was a good man and loved his sons so much! 😭🖤
Ser Harwin Strong had no regrets being there for his Princess. They were twin flames is canon.
This character had so much potential, a pity they killed him
First time?

@@robertmills3830 he also dies in the book

I feel so bad for his fate. Truly he didnt deserve it. Truly. And also of his father.
The promise reminds me of Ned's promise to Jon. I hate this, I wish we had a little bit more of Ser Harwin.
Oh maaaan.. That's so true.
@@aegonbreakspear9102 a promise both they could not keep to 2 bastard boys
Funnily enough the strongs are starks that established themselves in the south .

I adore those three beautiful black haired boys🖤🖤🖤🤌
Wanted to see more of him and Rhaenyra 😭

He didn't do well but he showed love and care. That's a good man. Christol is very immature. Small heart break and see how you are behaving
Thank you so much for this masterpiece!

He has a different kind of honor
This is everything!! ♥ the way you've captured him so well, very well done 👏

If only Viserys pursue the match of Ser Harwin and Princess Rhaenyra 🥺 There must be love in a political match.
Loved ser harwin ....he didn't go by rule book...made his own choices..
This is beautiful!
I will be a stranger when we meet again. So sad.
It's a crime that the writers didn't even give Ser Harwin a backstory or some sort of proper interaction with his children and Rhaenyra.
Bring Harwin Strong Back..
I love this edit 😍😍
Omg this is soooo good 💓
I hold out hope he’ll come back somehow, but a fools hope

Wow
Just wow

Viserys gave her the chance to choose her groom and she squandered it.She should have chosen him.
What's the song in the background
What he and rh did is not immoral in every regard. westrosi and real life. Let’s not be clowns
