Jon is the king beyond the wall now. Remember when Tormund told him that he has the real north in him...which was true
Very true
The Starks, and Jon, who was raised the bastard of a Stark won the Game of Thrones...... King of the 6 Kingdoms, Queen of the North, and King beyond The Wall all ended up being Starks.
@@tayscupojoethe night’s watch doesn’t exist anymore. Bran told worm that just to trick him.
It was probably just a stupid rumor because it sounds so awesome. But I have heard talk of a spin-off which gives us Jon Snow's story after he goes North permanently.
And the reason it stuck with me is because it's specifically mentioned the very first theory that I came up with after I watched this episode.
I predict that Drogon snatched Danny up for a specific reason. He is going to fly her straight back to Daario Naharis and he will get the ole red witches to pray her back to life. Then she comes back as a true Dragon Queen VILLAIN against Westeros and the King in the North who killed her.
Then BOTH will have died with a knife to the heart.
@@timothycorrell2333right but........Bran being King is INSULTINGLY ridiculous. Most of season 8 was disrespectfully lazily done. But that was a direct intended jab at us. Like we will forget prior episodes or something.
"I cant be Lord of Winterfell. I CAN NEVER BE LORD OF ANYTHING IM THE THREE EYED RAVEN NOW."
4 episodes later
"Why do you think I came all this way?" 🙄
Its also insulting they didnt play out the coolest things they had set up. Like the FACT that at some point the plan was to reveal that Arya in Winterfell is actually the Waif. Who DID kill Arya in the dark in Braavos. And the even more obvious FACT that Tyrion is in fact exactly what Tywin always said.....not his son. It is expressed over and over that Tywin left the service of the mad King because neither of them could stand to be around the other. The king no longer trusted him.
And I am fairly certain the reason the king was worried about it is because tywin found out that his wife was cheating with the king. Which would make him Is very close in age with Rhagar possibly even older. But a bastard so not in the succession for king. But half Targaryan......now......in that whole show. Who is the ONLY person that physically interacted with the grown dragons, without Dany or John there to allow it? Yep.....Tyrion talked to them, gave them that adorable story of asking for a dragon on his name day, and unchained them both. All alone, and they had never even seen him before.
That little badass had Targaryen blood.
"I'm the three-eyed raven, i can not be lord of anything"
"They forgot"
the funny thing is... this isn't even a quote from the books. Its a show original line....So they literally wrote that line for purpose of sUbVeTiNg ExPeCtAtIoNs
@@starsimvidzBran kinda forgot about three-eyes-ravening and not-lording.
King != Lord. Bran is the only person who is not a human. Therefore he is the only one who cannot be corrupted. Hence why he's best for the job.
@@Wicked_Sushithat isnt forgetting....that can only be a blatant insult to the fans. Probably an inside joke between the guys who took season 8 and wiped their ass with it.
Jason Mamoa's reaction to this 😂 Man was pissed his wifey died and Bran got the throne
Your reaction to Jon being told he was being sent to the Night's Watch was pretty much all of us. Lol
Especially when there is no Night's Watch anymore. 🤣The wall is gone. As for Jon Dumb and Dumber made him into a simp who had only two sentences in season 8. "She's our Queen" and "I don't want it".
True. But if you pieced things together 15 minutes later, it was the wisest choice to have him put back there again, as this is what he coveted. Most people needed a few days to think out that George planned it like that all along & it was the best choice. Those with the sour grapes, wannabe screenplay writers, still have him on the Iron Throne.
@@jayhildenbrand7237Well, George didn't write that part so that doesn't make sense.
Tay's face when she heard Bran's name 😂😂😂 legit all of us like tf
Likeeeee…. WHET 😭😭
@tayscupojoe the person who did the least fought zero battles gets the throne is wild!!
@@cbaby1201 That's because the throne is not some prize you 'win' or 'deserve', but a duty and a responsibility.
@@tayscupojoe
Sensa is queen.
Bran is king.
Arya does what she wants.
jon is sent away.
I think Catelyn wrote the ending.
Jon stabbing a woman who loved and trusted him, who risked her life multiple times for him is just beyond tragic.dany deserved better. we all deserved better.
It is a tragic story, true. But do you really consider a Disney ending with Dany and Jon ruling happily ever after "better"? If you were expecting a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention "(c)
@@boristurovskiy351 Too many wannabe screenplay writers who forgot the real reason why they loved GOT in the first place. It did things that was out of the box.
And GOT is exactly the kind of show that is all about giving it's characters and the audience what they deserve?
lol game of thrones is literally notorious for killing main characters. what are you saying.
my issue is with bad writing in the later seasons. mad queen arc wouldve been cool if it was done well
He's like Azor Ahai, plunging his blade into the heart of the woman he loves.
By sending Jon to the Night's Watch, Bran gave Jon his freedom. Jon didn't want to be king of anything and going to the wall relieved him of any outside pressure to rule. He was happiest when he was with the Wildlings and now he's back with them.
I was just typing this same thing out and almost posted it until I seen your comment. Well put. I think too many people hated the ending to GOT because they wanted Jon on the throne, but as you said, he didn't want it. I think it went the only way that it could make sense for Jon.
This is exactly it and anyone who didn't understand this didn't understand the show.
Nights watch isn’t being free at all
@@Skankhunt.42 There isn't much left of the Night Watch. It was just a way to pardon Jon and make Grey Worm and other people who supported Danny somewhat happy.
"Bran the builder!" lmfaoo so cute that she still remembers that name from seasons ago
😭😭🥹
When you think about it,daenerys could be respawned like Jon.the dragon took her boody somewhere,and they last spotted drogon in the place where red priesteses reside.
Theories you should watch:
Bran is evil
Little finger never died
OU wow never thought of that. Definitely wanna watch these!!
Brienne's emotional scene of writing Jaime's deeds, by far the best redeeming moment in the entire episode, literally steals the show's ending. An otherwise ending episode with so many bad conclusions. (especially with how it ends with Bran and Jon) Damn.
What bad conclusion? The realm is at peace, they have a wise king and a council that will do more than just jockey for power. The very composition of the council is indicative of more opportunity for the common folk to elevate their station in life. The Night's Watch will now help wildlings instead of fight them. Once barbaric savages are now casually strolling along the KL pier and getting used to city life. Grey Worm and the Unsullied will finally be the agents in their own story and life instead of being someone else's pawns.
So many small and not so small details are indicative of a world that is slowly but surely exiting the savagery and barbarism of the Middle Ages.
The really cool part about the ending that a lot of people missed, is the fact that tyrion is basically the king now since he’s the hand and bran is more interested in warging than ruling. Tyrion will fix all the destruction he helped bring to kings landing. And maybe the histories will or won’t remember him. But either way, democracy moved forwards some, even if it’s only an oligarchy. It’s better for the smallfolk overall after so much loss.
Season 7 episode 5 when Jon left and the lords were talking bad about Jon and Arya was in the back watching Sansa listening to the lords. Arya said you need to please these lords because if Jon doesn’t come back you will need their support. Sansa said how could you think such a thing. Arya said you thinking about it now. You don’t want to but the thought just don’t go away. Remember that Arya learned from Jaden Hagar how to lead when people were lying. She knew Sansa always wanted to be queen even if it meant Jon not being around.
Yeah I remember this! So crazy
@tayscupojoe Remember that the question of why Sansa didn't tell Jon about sending a letter to the Vale for help is still unanswered. There was no reason 6 tell Jon. Like none if she had told him he would have waited to attack. So the logical reason is she knew Jon would attack and not have enough men and would have been defeated, and the Army of the Vale would come in and destroy the remaining soldiers of the Boltons and she would be named Lady of the North and eventually queen of the north.
@tayscupojoe if Jon repeatedly told everyone from Sansa to Varys to anyone who would listen, why do you think Sansa would still tell Tyrion and Varys learned from Tyrion about Jon's claim? She knew the chaos it would cause between Jon and Daenarys, and she knew the North where Daenarys is in would always back Jon over Daenarys. Even though he said multiple times, he didn't want it. Littlefinger told her to play all scenarios in her head when she is planning and assumed the worst. So she will never be surprised. One of Littlefingers' famous quotes, "Chaos is a ladder"
@tayscupojoe I think fans should go back and listen to some of the conversations Littlefinger and Sansa had after the battle of the bastards. They all seemed like throwaway lines until you watched the series a couple of times and saw some of the events that happened, and you can see based on those conversations on how things played out from some of those conversations.
Drogon didnt burned jon because of plot armor. Dragons do burn targaryens
Thank you guys for your reactions, it’s been a joy watching! Your guys’ chemistry is genuine which translates through screen. Keep up the great work!!🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much!
I don't get the bran hate, he was quite interesting character as the new three-eyed raven and it made sense to make him the king as he was the best choice because of his abilities. Jon never wanted to be king and wouldn't be happy on the throne. And sending him to the night watch wasn't a bad choice, he did kill the queen so there had to be some repercussions for that. Besides, Bran was actually setting him free since the night watch doesn't exist anymore anyway and he ended up leaving beyond the wall with the wildings and will live among them where he feels he belongs and will likely become the new king beyond the wall and I think Bran knew this since he knows everything. The last scene was so epic.
The hate comes from that most people, 99% never had Bran on the Iron Throne. It came as a shock, once announced (I raise my hand on that one). But, if you pieced together things by the end of the episode ( I figured it out by then), most people would agree with you. Some needed days to figure out how George went about things for the remaining main characters. If one paid attention to the pilot episode, George put the easier puzzle pieces into their proper slot, as to what those characters coveted & see what he had left. My conclusion was that Bran was the last puzzle piece. In the pilot episode, he was the most in awe of seeing the king coming to Winterfell. He was also being trained to lead. I also think George purposely mirrored Bran's character with Charles Xavier. A humble leader, with a vast mind that was also wheelchair bound because something happened to him. Those that couldn't come to grips with Bran being on the Iron Throne, should of blamed George. George was still in the mix in season 5, where they gave Bran the season off. He could of been inserted a little more that season for character development. Those that have issues of Jon not being on the Iron Throne or Dani inexplicably going mad, didn't quite pay attention to the show for the right reasons, letting the show tell you the story. Too many of them thought they were the screenwriters.
Some people aren't ready to have this conversation still. All the starks ended up in the best position for them and where they all would have wanted to be whether it's where you wanted them to be or not 🤷
I'm amazed that Dumb and Dumber still have paid show apologists fighting in the comment section!😂😂😂 Because it's hard to believe someone can be this dumb..
another reason the show feels different after season 5 and 6 is because they reached the end of where the books are written, not to say they didn’t know how the show was gonna end, but because the show cuts story lines and characters that are in the book early in the seasons, at the end they had to combine side stories into the characters we know, the show makes it feel like it’s out of left field or we didn’t get to see how these things developed and it’s because we really didn’t get into it as the episodes were premiering. Tay if you’re into reading or listening to audio books i’d definitely recommend them! and the Alt Shift X channel does great content on the entire universe so it would be cool to check that out even if you don’t put out reactions to them.
So many storylines had no conclusion.
Who is now lord of Casterly Rock? Who is now lord of the Twin ?
Who was "the prince that was promised" ?
Will the nobility of the Stormlands accept Gendry as their lord Paramount, just because Daenerys legitimized him ? Accepting him as Lord of Storm's end is basically accepting Dany as queen. Same goes for Bronn in Highgargen, hard to imagine the Florents accepting him as overlord.
How is Sam grand Maester? How is he even Maester? He never graduated from the Citadel.
Is Daario still ruling Meereen, or did the Masters retake the city? We never got a status update from Meereen after Dany left Essos.
In there a new High Septon ? We never heard of the faith of the Seven again after 6x10.
Most of your conclusions that you assume are in desperate need, are unworthy of any conclusions. Seriously, you really took the time to ask about such nonsense? I found most of it, quite laughable.
Here's a few more to add to your list of nonsense that I put together in two minutes:
Was Winterfell being rebuilt? Did the remaining King's Landing citizens have lung issues for the rest of their lives? When Greyworm arrives at Naath, will they take his word that the Unsullied came their to protect them? Who is the new leader of the Dothraki? Will Jaquen show up in King's Landing or Winterfell to claim a reward for training Arya?
SMH!
1) Tyrion
2) Whoever captured the castle, as well as the poor defenseless girls still living in it.
3) John. Prophecy was fulfilled when he killed the one he loved, Dany, to save the world from terrible evil, also Dany.
4) Both the Reach and the Stormlands are severely depleted and weakened from all the wars. Do you think they'd be in a position to complain much about who leads them?
5) He is a Grand Maester because he applied his knowledge to help save the world while the entire Citadel politely twiddled their thumbs, showing it to be a useless and hollow institution.
6) In all likelihood Daario is still ruling Mereen, and with the news of Dany permanently gone, is probably delighted of having his power permanently unchallenged with the help of the cult of Dany.
7) What do you think? Will the new government be thrilled to reinstall a religious order which terrorized KL and nearly brought ruin to the city?
'So many storylines had no conclusion.'
Yeah, there's this thing called leaving things to the imagination.
21:16 Tay's reaction😂😂
On the flip side,Jon is free.he wasn't really sent to the night's watch.He lives the life he wanted is he knew ygrite
i don't think people truly understand the LEVELS of offensive. like tyrion condescendingly explaining to greyworm, A FORMER SLAVE, what daenerys meant with "breaking the wheel"😐:
no greyworm, daenerys wasn't talking about ending the systems of oppression that subjugated people like yourself, breaking the wheel means giving us rich aristocrats the power to chose one of our own as king without listening to the common folk for our own benefit
THANK YOU GUYS FOR THIS WHOLE JOURNEY!!! You are amazing!!!! best reactors of the show!!
Thank you soooo much!! We are so sad it’s the finale 🥹🥹
@@tayscupojoe looking forward for more. we're here for it.
Great reactions, but what a disaster this ending was. I was reminded of that disappointment after so long. After years of waiting for GOT every season and this is how they did everyone dirty.
it still blows my mind that they were told Bran would be king all the way back in like... 2013... and yet they still decided to give him no arc or solid plotline.....
No plot line!! All that build up for him to be drab. I get it was his character but where was more of the three eyed raven smh
Thank you! I can’t imagine watching it when it came out
@@tayscupojoe The books have pretty much ended where he met with the old 3-eyed Raven... But there have now been several chapters going thru his training (which the show skipped), and the lore/powers he is exploring is a lot cooler than what the show did. And so far, there is ZERO indication that he's gonna turn into a robotic, emotionless zombie.. And I kinda feel sorry for the kid actor... he had to spend 2 seasons just staring into nothing
@tayscupojoe he's more distracted than drab.
He's like Leto 2 in the dune series. He sees everything so he's a bit distracted.
At least he's not a giant worm.
15:03- the look of disgust that morphed into the look of "wait, WTF just happened". 🤣Great reactions to this series, y'all were so much fun. Will be here for whatever you watch that I've seen.
It was the ultimate shock! 😭 thank you so much for watching and sticking with us!
I just had a thought, it came suddenly. Just like the Night King had to be taken out to end the Long Night, Dany had be taken out to end this nightmare. I just suddenly noticed the parallel.😊
I hate that they made her the villain and John the hero. It’s like they had to drag her down to bring him up which is stupid to me🤦🏾♂️.
They did my girl, Dany, dirty and I will forever stand on that. People don't change core values so fast, and to those who disagree.. I seriously worry for you and those around you. I'm surprised that you thought Jon was going to be King, Tay🤔 when he's stressed over and over that he doesn't want it. He was never going to be King. I am annoyed too at Bran's character and agree that he shouldn't have been chosen but imo Jon is exactly where he wants to be, the true North.
You both were so much fun to watch though, you really are adorable🤗and I'm super keen for HoTD🔥🔥Targaryens forever babyy!!
Just remember ... This is the HBO ending .. or David and Dan's Ending ,.. not the true ending from George RR Martin .. and before anyone comments and says that David and dan asked George how it was to end ... Do you really think the GRRM is going to write it this way .. when he always rewrites ... Unfortunately a stupid Star Wars movie was more important to David and dan and the funny thing is 4 + years what ever happened to the star wars project they wanted so badly
Sadly we may never know the true ending because GRRM may never finish the books lol
This is the ending GRRM wanted for the show. He just believes they went about it the wrong way. He said he wanted more seasons. But they know Dany's end back in season 2. She was never gonna rule.
It was George's ending for all the lead characters, especially Bran. There were hints early on & in the pilot episode. George was quite happy to be present at the Emmy Awards, when they collected Best Drama Award for season 8, for the 4th consecutive season & the only 4 they won. Where they said backstage, that George always had Bran on the Iron Throne. The biggest issue viewers had with the ending. GOT was his baby, he got paid millions, what exactly became a bigger priority for him to not complete his job? At season 5, George was still in the mix, why did they give Bran the season off? He should be ashamed of himself for not finishing his books. He really needed over 10 years? D&D got tired of waiting around for him. He left hundreds of staff in limbo. How exactly do you prepare for an upcoming season, when there are no books to follow? D&D did the right thing, they took control, because George became a lazy toad. To me, the 20 best consecutive episodes of GOT started at season 6 & finished at the Long Night. All episodes that George had no book material for, but he already built the platform as to where his train would arrive to its final stop. Now he's rewriting his own ending, going on 4 years now, because some people disliked his ending.
I almost forgot how silly that sequence in the throne room was. Drogon burns the throne, driving home the theme that the pursuit of power corrupts even those initially pure of heart. Then "lol fukit, bran is king anyway". Best part is that since Bran can't have kids, another succession crisis is almost guaranteed as soon as he dies LMAO
Well tbf what they set up at the end was at least better than the succession system they had in place. Multiple higher ups from different parts of the kingdom came into agreement to choose bran. When he dies that system is still in place. Higher ups will need to CHOOSE again which is at least a step in the right direction rather than just having an heir (we all know how bad that system is)
I was heartbroken for Jon, he deserves to be king and so much more happiness..but was happy he was in the true north with Ghost and Tormund, exactly where he wanted to be, he's clearly now the King beyond the wall. The starks have taken over everywhere do love that part..but also heartbroken again that they've all separated again. And we never got to see Nymeria, we were robbed abit..think we did need 10 episodes this season.
Jon still to me is clearly the prince who was promised. Hes always protected the realm without ever wanting power or things in return. He united everyone to defeat the dead and even encouraged Arya's warrior side and training. Jon is also the reason Arya came back to Winterfell. Everyone had their part to play big and small, just a shame D&D had to rush things so much.
Jon is finally free now, away from all the politics he hated and struggled with. Going beyond the wall with Ghost and people who love him regardless of his name. So i was happier in the end, knowing Jon was actually being set free.
Its been a pleasure watching y'all grow, being apart of the journey of this channel in general and these GoT reactions have been goated ngl.
In her visions at the House of the Undying she started to touch the Iron Throne, but didn't, she was distracted by noises, and drawn away to her next vision. Notice that she doesn't get to touch it here either. She won it, but never got sit on it.😊
she knew what will happen to her but she still went for it
No, she didn't know, it was foreshadowing.
John killed Daenarys that saved his life twice. Once behind the Wall and once again when surrounded by Wights. Remember when Arya and Sansa had that argument about Jon? Arya told Sansa that Sansa wouldn’t mind if Jon didn’t come back. Arya told Sansa that Sansa didn’t want Jon to come back that she could help herself from thinking the way she thought. Sansa always wanted to be queen and didn’t mind Jon not being around
It’s so strange because if I think about it, the ending g makes sense and it’s what the characters would want. But something about it makes us feel defeated.
Yes agreed
“Got yo mama snatched up in yo toes” I spat my drink out
The Karate Kid Franchise and Cobra Kai Series would be amazing! Such a great universe to explore!
It's not surprising the first and second half of the show are so different in quality. The first four seasons are based on the first three books which are great. Books 4 and 5 are totally unfilmable unless you cut a ton out which they did, but they left some of the best parts out and then the last three seasons D&D just made shit up. A lot of plotlines deviate from where they were heading in the books.
The books & show are 2 different things, in many cases. If George was so concerned he should of finished the next book in time for season 6. He had 8 years. He got paid a boat load of $. What became a bigger priority for him, that he couldn't finish? Do you understand that hundreds of people were working on the show & that they were in limbo on how to plan things? In a GOT panel, George was already panicking that D&D would pass him by in the show, this is after they finished shooting season 3. The guy is a lazy toad. In my POV, the 20 best consecutive episodes of GOT started at the start of season 6, all episodes that had no book material against. 4 of the top 6, including the top 2, GOT episodes with the best raw average rating by many thousands of voters on IMDB, came from season 6 & 7. The Long Night had the 4th most "10" of "10 votes among all GOT episodes. GOT won Best Drama Emmy from seasons 5-8, the only 4 they won for that category, where George was all too happy to be present to collect it. We learn backstage that George had Bran on the Iron Throne before D&D got the job. An issue with many viewers having Bran on the Iron Throne. Book readers always compare the show with an unfinished book. 95% of the remaining GOT audience just watch & get entertained. Got is ranked #2, TV show of all time on IMDB, what is George's books ranked among all books? You have a right to your opinion, I just laid out some facts.
When the GoT ending so bad you make your own: for the show NOT the books by going by some of the guidelines they set up while changing some things that imo are better here are 6 points.
1.I would change Bran`s actor completely in the later seasons, kid Bran`s actor fit the role but later it felt like it could have been played better by somebody else or maybe it was just the script and also i wouldn`t make Bran this robot type character that is dry AF.
Would have made Bran able to warg into dragons a call back to the earlier seasons when it was said to him that he will never walk again but he would fly, it would have done his character more justice and make Bran who is a special warg ,the force of nature that wargs were in legends and in the books, like spliting the earth,causing floods for example make Bran more of an important and epic character like John.
2.The whole let`s bring proof to Cersei plot would be scraped as it served no purpose and it kinda made no logical sense considering the lvl of urgency and threat also i don`t see any characters going to those lenghts just to conveinvce Cersei ,either they would just atack kings landing and winner takes all or they would go to winterfelll with or without the lannisters, so i would just write the latter that Jon convinces Danny they send an invitation to the Lannisters to join , they don`t reply, or tells them to go F themselves which this would later enrage and turn Danny mad given her sacrifices.
3.From episode 3 the long night , i would have made that a horror episode in which they fight a good fight kill some WW, but eventually they just can`t keep up with the army of the dead mantaining it`s numbers ,while the army of the living keeps getting smaller and so they start a retreat under the winterfell crypt which in the books are long tunnels that lead to other places or possible other exits to the surface, Bran would tell of them to Jon and to Danny prior to the fight as a last resort and the army would retreat that way if they were losing ,some major characters here would lose they`re lives making the escape either protecting someone or stalling the WW, like Theon, Jorah , Greywrm,Missandei and Melisandre, this would fuel Danny`s rage towards Cersei and she would start putting the blame for her people`s deaths on the Lannisters in King`s landing for not answering the call to unite under a common threat to fight the apocalypse .They would reach the docks where they would embark their ships in the neraby town ports there.
3.Time passes and now the army of the dead advanced south to king`s landing , the battle begins with the dead begin crawling on the walls the gates are blown open by the Nigh King on his dragon ,Cersei along with Jaime leading the army use some of the houses and towers,or streets strategically placed filled with wildfire, blowing them up as they retreat and as such parts of the city become blocked off, and their forces have some barriers from some of the ruble and fire which allows for the Lannister forces to fall back and regroup, after some time from the sea Danny`s forces land joining the fight, Bran and Sansa would be on the ships Bran using his warg powers from there and because magic has a cost that would play a part later , Jon and Danny would ride their respective dragons into battle, while the forces below fight the army of the dead, Arya has only one objective to kill Cersei to complete her list of revenge,however Arya isn`t the only one out for revenge Danny wants some too.
4. As the fighting goes on eventually Jon is knocked off his dragon by Euron from a ballista tower who saw some of his forces getting burnt alive by Danny ,and so Jon fights on the ground while Bran asumes control of the dragon ,Danny burns indiscriminatley concentrated areas of both the living and the dead where her forces weren`t present for her it was the perfect excuse to take some "revenge" for her loses at winterfell by taking out her rage on people, soldiers or not that stood by and decided to do nothing, eventually Jamie and Brienne meet on the batllefield fighting the dead back to back , other characters do the same like Tormund,Jon ,Euron ,The Hound, the Mountain, eventually the WW start again to gain the upper hand even though some of them died off, but the Night King is still around fighting Danny in the skies and is eventually brought down by Danny with Drogon and lands in the area near the red keep where Jon is.
They begin to fight,a couple of characters die but no after killing some WW, like Jamie ,Brienne,Tormund,Euron, the hound and the mountain enconter each other on the battlefield while killing the dead and have on final clash in which they both kill eachother, Jon fights valiantly but is eventually killed by the Nightking after an epic duel ,being overwhelmed by the Nightking and the surrounding dead, Danny enraged seeing Jon die, begins to burn and destroy the red keep and everthing and everyone living or dead that`s around ,Night king in the area near the red keep throws a spear which pirces Drogon killing him in the air falling on a nerby bell tower, Arya still inside searching for Cersei instead of atempting to save herself she would rather die for her quest for revenge , the building colapses killing Cersei, Aria under the ruble one of her hands is crushed, sees the night king killing Jon below near the red keep, she begins lunging at him from above he catches her curshing her other arm, Bran seeing these unfold from the controled dragon which has sustained fatal damage from fighting the dead ,controling the dragon has taken a toll on him as Sansa saw on the ship Bran began bleeding from his eyes, he wargs one last time into Jon who is at the Night kings feet, rising with his valerian sword stabing the night king who is off guard with his back turned who holds and is about to kill Arya and thus ending the apocalypse and saving Arya at the cost of his own life ,which now Bran finally understood what some of his last out of context visions were about his final moments.
5.Having lost everyone she cared about Dannerys goes mad with giref having sustained some injuries from the fall some to the head, having lost both Drogon and Jon not only does she view the people that were under Cersei as responsible in some way for how things got this far to the point where everyone was about to go extinct, but also having lost her dragons and having sustained some injuries she started feeling paranoid because her ace cards "the dragons "were gone , and her forces were no longer as numerous as they once were.
Tyrion witnessing the burnt and ash remains of people in the aftermath and hearing some of the statements Dannerys made after regarding her future plans, when she decided to hold a speech in front of the masses in king`s landing a couple of crossbows fire off one arrow finds Danny pircing her heart and succumbing to her injuries, a bunch of suspects were seen arrested and executed that were carrying crossbows however no one knows who`s killing shot was that took out Dannerys.
6.The ending :Sansa is queen in the north,Tyrion rules Casterly rock in the west,Gendry took on Storm`s end on the south east,Arya having both her hands crushed and unusable they serve as a constant reminder of what revenge took from her. She is now on a ship exploring the world free.
Who ended up sitting on the iron throne? No one , the red keep is all but destroyed like in the show, snow and ash sit on the throne ,the people left king`s landing and in time it became a cursed place similar to Harrenhal, in a sense it became a reminder of a time of when people couldn`t come together to unite to fight the apocalypse, and is a reminder of what everyone lost there also.
The seven kingdoms each became like it was before the conquest of Aegon, they each govern their respective kingdoms, and trade with one another.
9:13 ~ Exactly this. If you didn't see this turn of her going mad which had been slowly building up for multiple seasons, then what the hell show were you watching
They honestly believed Dany and her hoard of savage Dothraki, unsullied, and dragons were going to waltz into Westeros and install the first ruling Queen and restore the Mad Kings daughter with no opposition.
They honestly believed Dany would become Queen like she did in Essos and poof everyone lived happily ever after.
Dany and Targ stans are delusional.
I've absolutely enjoyed watching this with y'all! I can't wait to see what we watch next!
Thank you for watching with us!!
Bran the broken, Tay's face lol, didn't expect tay to be this pissed at the ending tbh
Me either! I hated feeling like it was a punishment for Jon
@@tayscupojoeit wasn’t punishment if you really look at it! I guess they had to make it look like that so that the unsullied and iron born didn’t rebel and get all upset but really Jon is free with the wildlings now! The writing was just rushed is all 😢
My ideal ending would have been to have Jon as the King and he could have had Bran as his advisor that way Jon would always know the truth when dealing with issues.
bran would be the best hand
After what Jon did to Dany, this was the perfect end for him! "His name will disappear.. His words will disappear.. All memory of him will disappear.." He deserves this oblivious and vanilla ending! If only Tyrion could be ripped to pieces in a riot by Danys army, I would be at peace.😂
@@anoushkas8726 Dany deserved to die...so did Khal Drogo. Of course Jon didn't do it to take the throne so I am fine with him not being king so in my opinion Bran is the 2nd best option. Not 100% sure that all memory would disappear cause from my understanding (I haven't read the books so just going off what I heard on other videos) there is a dragon egg somewhere in the north so it's possible that Jon finds it. Also he could marry one of the wildlings and have children so Sansa's words for Ramsay may not ring true for Jon.
Bran the busted being king still pisses me off. He had such a good story that he was missing for an entire season...sure. I hate this episode so much lmao but i loved y'alls reactions! But honestly the only time Jon was ever really happy was when he was beyond the wall, he would've hated being king.
I totally agree there was so much more they could’ve done with bran to make it make sense! And with Jon agree as well just wish they made it seem more like a choice than a punishment
Odd that she didn't understand Bran set Jon free. Jon never wanted to be king. Now he gets to hang out with his friends and his wolf. For the first time, Jon is a free man. No more vows. No more wars. Just freedom.
Yeah I do get that it’s just unfortunate to be sent back to the wall rather than freedom of choice
@@tayscupojoe he isn't at the wall. He went north with the wildlings.
Choice isn't an option in this world. Ned didn't choose to be hand. Theon didn't choose to be Ned's ward. Cat didn't choose to marry Ned.
After what John did, he could never be king, it would cause a great division in the realm again.
I think Bran was an obvious choice, though I could'nt have predicted it. Who could betray Bran?
Hopefully no one but maybe if we got more from bran toward the end of the show I’d feel better about it. We just really we’re not feeling his character toward the end unfortunately
I agree that Bran was an obvious choice. History shows how kings who are obsessed with power or rule with emotion can be detrimental. In my opinion, with all the knowledge Bran acquired from past and present, he became extremely wise. Between his wisdom and logical perspective, I believe he was the appropriate choice.
Man it's sad how salty Tay was about Jon's ending 😢
I love the poetry of it, to come back to where he started... after quite a journey.
Besides, if you think about it... It's the best he could have wished for. Now he's free.
Yes but the way they portrayed it was more of a punishment rather than a happy choice although I’m sure that’s where he’s happier
@@tayscupojoe Is the point of the story that you should do good things to get a reward, or that you should do the right things no matter the cost because it's the right thing to do?
The reason they didn’t give more scenes with Jon and Ghost is because it was really hard to shoot the cgi and make the wolf hair realistic I remember they talked about it bts in a video, Tay had same reaction as me about it Jon too lol can’t wait to start watching you guys react to House of the Dragon 😁
Oh wow that’s good to know!
@@tayscupojoe also don’t worry we’re getting a Jon Snow show his story ain’t over yet lol he needs some justice
Bran is like a figurehead, tyrion and the small council run westeros.
In my opinion she broke the wheel. It killed her, but she fulfilled her purpose although it ended tragically...😢
I see that!
Welcome to the end of Game of Thrones. Can't wait to see your House of the Dragon reactions. You've been a joy to watch guys
Thank you!
You two are making progress. Feels like you had three thousand subs just yesterday.
Thank you guys for your reactions to this show, you will love House of the Dragon
We loved it! So sad it’s the finale 🥹
I totally understand your disapointement , I felt the same frustration when I first watched it , I wanted to see Jon on the throne so bad , it took me a year to get over it but I see things diffrently now , I feel like it would have been too soon for Jon to become the king of the 7 kingdom 1st beacause GOT was not about Jon, he's one of the main characters but the show doens't rely on him ,also , he had just knew about his real indentity , he needs time to understand if he's more a stark or a targaryen ,Jon or Aegon ,he also needs to prove his identity , we still don't know if he became immune to fire or not when he was resurected , that's why the "Snow " tv show is important for Jon's fans
Very true I’ve had the same realizations! I know he didn’t want to be king but I wish he was free to choose his next move rather than sent to the wall 🥹
@@tayscupojoe
Jon was sent back to the wall by Bran to protect him from the Unsullied , as the night's watch has been significantly diminished in terms of its original purpose it was clear that the wall was no longer important , so Jon chose instead to venture north of the wall with his fellow northmen , you can see them at the end
People pissed at Sansa because she had a plan that 90+ percent of the fan base wanted...Jon on the throne!
It was the right call for the North and Westeros as a whole, sadly it didn't work out- Tyrion betrayed Varys, Jaime got to KL too late, Arya and the Hound got to KL too late.
The show is called : A game of Thrones, It's politics and survival and the Starks won.
Dani's end was hinted at since S1 onward, so were the Starks and Samwell AND Bran, Tyrion and his siblings.
Bran's ruling for Jon is: null and void once Jon crosses the Neck; 2. Bran gave Jon what he wanted under the guise of exile; 3. Sansa as Queen and Lady of Winterfell can free Jon and also name him Stark.
Jon can choose to stay beyond the wall as the de facto King beyond the wall.
We clearly were given hints Bran can see vision; Past, present and maybe future, he and the NK are tied to each other they see what the other sees.
Tay being so mad is me 😂
Sansa was okay with Jon dying in the battle that's why she didn't tell Jon about the Army of rhe Vale coming. She doesn't want to be thinking like that but the feeling won't go away. She wanted to be queen. Go back and watch Season 7 episode 5 when she and Arya was arguing about Jon and if he doesn't come back. Remember one of the skills Arya learned was when people were lying. She leanrd that from Jaqen Haagar
Jon wanted to go back to the nights watch. He would have been miserable as king.
Also he's stupid. His catch phrase is you know nothing.
John the stupid first of his name.
Finally there would have been a war if the iron born and unsullied didn't see him punished.
I just wish they didn’t make it seem like a punishment rather than a choice!
😂 I'm happy that Taylor had the same reaction than the rest of us. Bran? WTF I don't understand how all the Lords of the Kingdom were there and they all know Jon is the true King and heir to the Throne and NONE of them mentioned Jon Snow as a possible ruler. Who wrote this crap? Also who the Hell cares about the Dotraki and Unsullied? All the knights of the Seven Kingdom could have risen up from Dorne to Highgarden to the Riverrun, etc.. and beat the crap out of them and say "naaa, brah, our guy is Jon Snow, he's our King and return to where you come from".
Exaccctly! Not sending him to the nights watch because of the Dothraki they didn’t even stay
@@tayscupojoe yea all these guys left. Also since Sansa is Queen of the North she could pardon Jon Snow and he could go to Winterfell. The only positive is that Jon willl probably become King Beyond the Wall like Mance Raider. He could build a serious empire there.
The lords don't know that,also if they were told why how would the believe it? Cuz His half brother & bestie said it?
@@laza0202 Well you still have the North and the Vale and the Lannisters. And they could have had Varys actually succeed in sending his letters so all the kingdom would have known.
Never seen bigger Bran haters in my life lmao..
John got what he wanted. He's free to do as he pleases. He never wanted to rule. People hate on s8 so much. Write it better than.. lol.
No season hate just finale. And Jon didn’t want it but wish they made it seem like a choice rather than a punishment 😩
@@tayscupojoe Well everyone who misunderstood the show started hating it sometime in S8, not counting the Stannis-stans who got angry much earlier:
Nerds expecting some grand NK-Jon-Bran related mythology got angry when Arya killed the NK in S3.
Casual fans and Dany-stans got angry in S5. Apart from Dany's turn the second big sticking point was Cersei not getting the death she 'deserved.'
Finally,
Fans who could get past all of this, but still expected some sort of a feel-good ending and a more conventional resolution of the show, such as you, got angry at Bran being king and Jon being exiled.
But that was the bitter pill of Jon's story. Doing the right thing sometimes comes at a great personal cost. As Maester Aemon said, it's easy to do your duty when nothing important is at stake.
This show remained steadfastly brutal and uncompromising till the bitter end.
As for Brad. With him as King they’ll be no injustices as Brad can see the truth of a situation.
AHHH i can’t believe we’ve made it to the end already, succession next please please please🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Isn’t it crazyyyy!!
Also, the line "why do you think I came all this way?" implies Bran saw everything Dany was going to do in King's Landing and just... let it happen? So he could be king? How does that not make him on par with Cersei and all the other ppl who let millions die for the throne? ☠️
People who defend this ending make it seem like ppl only hate it cuz characters we liked (Dany or Jon or whoever) to varying degrees didn't get "happy endings". But no, it just straight up didn't make sense. So many plot holes and lapses in logic. But at least y'all are caught up, and House of the Dragon seems more promising so far.
Sooo many! Can’t wait for HOTD after this ending lol
i had so much fun watching this series with you guys! Thank you, for keeping me entertained. So excited for HOTD! you guys are the best! just gotta get through this last episode. lol
From Jon's point of view he gets to go home to the real north and not have to play politics. Did you notice the sprig of green through the snow?
Wow no I didn’t that’s so cool 🥹 happy he’s in the north for sure!
I think Jon got the ending Jon would have wanted.
Just hate how they presented it as a punishment rather than a choicd
glad to be part of the journey😊
Well, that was a fun ride. Thank you!
I loved this ending. Jon Snow is Free! He gets to live his life beyond the wall, beyond the politics, beyond everything. Just Free.
What's stoooopid is GRRM telln ppl worgin makes u loose urself n s4 and ppl watchn a character worg but get mad w him for loosing himself whn he worgd to save the word. What's stooopid is thnkn Jon saved Westeros whn it was Bran. He gav Arya Catspaw. What's stoopidis forcing a throne on Jon whn he doesn't want it. What's stooopid is thnkn Jon is at the wall whn u watched him leave the wall and he has a spin off.
Personally, I'm pretending that when Jon and Tormund ride north together after they return to the Wall, they're just going to live happily ever after together. 😛
You guys don't understand game of thrones.. jon never wanted the crown. And he's finally free.. being a night's watch is different. The long night is over . Alot of stiff went over yall head
We understand it, just have our own opinions 🤗
Bran is the only one who makes sense, because he's the only human who isn't human. He is incorruptible. He can be swayed by absolutely nothing. MORE IMPORTANTLY, the entire point of this show is two fold: weapons of mass destruction can not be tolerated to exist, and absolute power corrupts absolutely - the poor ALWAYS suffer under absolute rule. That is why no one but the non-human can rule.
Regarding Jon to the Wall, and the Night's Watch, the wights and White Walkers were gone for thousands of years, but still the Night's Watch was there. And it was needed in the end. It seems stupid, but these circular endings are better than you might think. The ending locations are the same, but the _people_ are different. Jon ends up getting the very boyhood dream he wanted as a child. He gets exactly what he wanted, except in a way he could never have anticipated. Jon doesn't want to be king. And he always wanted to be a Man of the Night's Watch. Because he wanted to be a hero. And that's exactly what he is, and what he will be remembered as. And king? Yes. He is King Beyond the Wall.
We made it!! 🙌
I get how you feel, as on my first viewing, I was quite upset about Jon. This ending is the only thing that makes sense about Bran’s whole journey, to become the three-eyed raven. The idea is that he is not self-serving, and he knows about the history and mistakes of westeros. He isn’t emotional, impulsive, or power hungry. He is level-headed and without an ego. He can’t be manipulated. No one would have chosen him as their favorite character, but he is the most fair and safe ruler for Westeros, and ironically, Damy’s hoal of breaking the wheel is achieved only with him ruling. Jon was my favorite character, so it was hard to see his enfing. It took me some time to adjust to it, but Jon as king is a typical story ending, and not Game of Thrones. He is free now. They sent him to “the watch” basically to set him free of westeros, and he can now be in the real north. Also, the author told the, from season 2 that Bran would be king. That wasn’t their choice. I think the last two seasons were weird for people because so many characters are gone by then, that the world gets smaller. We have less of King’s Landing and less of the political intrigue that drew people in to the story. Dany is in westeros, so now everything is focused there. Cersei is the only main storyline in King’s Landing by that point. Varys is more on the side, and pulling less strings than he once did. Littlefinger is still manipulating, but just in Winterfell. There is no more Stannis, Margaery, High Septon, or all the other players of the game. We finally get the excitement of Jon being king of the north, only to have him leave right away to get Dany as an ally and forfeit the title. So where season 6 is a high point for characters like Jon and Dany, the following seasons are more about the downfall of it all leading up to the end. I thought there were some great episodes in season 7 and 8, but I definitely get that the vibe is different than the early ones, and enjoy the wider story of the first six seasons more. I think nine seasons would have been even better, with the red wedding capping off the early story, the finale pf season six capping off the second act, and then this part being told over three seasons (though the longer episodes might have equated that, I don’t know). With the pandemic, though, we would have waited ages. If you watch the tremendous amount of work people put in behind the scenes for the show, I also imagine that people needed it to wrap up so they could move on from such an intensive project, and the actors could go make their Marvel money. I really do understand the disappointment, as I felt similarly after my first viewing, and even after a second. It took some time, but I realized any other ending would ‘t have felt right for the tone of the story. It had to be bittersweet, and the secret king storyline culminating in a happily ever after is what we have already seen before. Jon is a good man, just as Ned was a good man. Both would have been eaten alive as kings. The author said he went into these stories thinking about what makes a good ruler. I guess the enlightened, all-knowing Bran was his answer.
Midnight Mass!
Hey Taylor & Joel, so sorry this is the end of GOT for you. Loved watching you two & especially Joel’s reaction to you Taylor, how crazy you thought things went or didn’t go the you wanted. GRRM said the ending would be “bittersweet.” I see the “bitter,” but don’t know about the “sweet” part. Well, the good news is that we have HOTD coming. Looking forward to that. Have you seen Black Sails? I think you guys would like it. Very intriguing, good story & a lot of great characters. Great show, it’s my favorite after GOT & HOTD. Not the finale you wanted, but I still love watching newcomers to the the GOT world. Take care, Diane 💕
Soooo sad that it’s the end, thank you for watching! I’ll definitely look into that show 👀
But the ultimate irony also is Jon ,was the King ,became the New King beyond the wall...and that man who brought death to the Children of the Forest,in the final scene returned to the wild forest.
Thanks for every reaction. It’s been quite the journey.
Thank you for watching with us ☺️☺️
YOU DID IT TAY!!! GLAD YOU ENJOYED THIS JOURNEY🔥🔥🔥
We can all agree the ending could've been done much better, and Jon DEFINITELY deserved better. But if you think about it, leaving with the wildlings made sense cuz being with them is when he was the happiest. Also, Drogon didn't burn the throne cuz he didn't want anyone to have. He burned it cuz he felt thats what got his momma killed. Her sick love and obsession was the very cause of her death- Not just Jon. Drogon knew it wasn't his fault. A lot of us felt Jon should've gotten the throne and been King- but i guess he's happier now without all that burden. As long as he's happy🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yes I’m SOOO sad!! But super agree I’m happy Jon is probably where he wants I just wish it didn’t come off as a punishment! I feel like first reaction it just makes you feel sad for him. In hindsight I get it tho!
@@tayscupojoe ABSOLUTELY 💯💯💯
the ending was great sorry, jon is a northman through and through and “the nights watch” isn’t a thing anymore so the punishment was just to appease the unsullied, he’s a free man living over the wall with the wildlings! and to be fair, bran’s story like in the show is side swept, in the books he’s so much more interesting. I definitely agree w tay about danys ending though it was pretty expected in an unexpected way. Overall, things were tied up nicely as much as people hate that it didn’t go on the way they wanted.
Yes I see that! I just hate how it was made to feel like a punishment rather than a choice. But in hindsight I can see what they did
I remember the ending leaked and I thought it was fake. I thought it was a hilarious fake leak, but right when Tyrion started talking about stories I realized where it was going and that this was somehow real. I had a bunch of people over to watch it and I full on stood up and walked out of the room. Anyone suggesting a child that has no claim and no leadership experience is stupid. EVERYONE agreeing instantly to this child who is also a Stark taking the throne is absolutely insane. Oh and Asha Greyjoy watches Sansa get independence for the North without asking for independence for the Iron Islands?? Oh my God, 5 years later and this makes me just as mad.
Yes! I see both sides I guess but first reaction there’s no way I couldn’t be mad 😭
What purpose does the Night Watch serve now?
Right 😩
Did you watch the whole episode or stop at where Tyrion tells Jon that Bran put him back at the Night's watch? Break out the calculator to learn what 2+2 is, if you watched the whole episode.
At the end Dayneris basically became Vladimir Vladimirovich!😂
I loved your reaction! almost like mine😂 knowing this I would have preferred the king of the night to win
😂😂😂😂😂
I've watched a few GoT reactions to completion, but always flick thru the finale in 5-10 minutes. How the hell did we go from the heights of Baelor, Blackwater, Battle of the Bastards, The Winds of Winter - and all the other amazing episodes I can't recall the name of offhand ... to THIS? If D&D wanted out, they should have stepped aside and let someone else take the reins.
This is the best episode of the entire series. Every scene is perfection. It's really a litmus test to how well you understood the themes of the show.
lol Jon had the best goddamn ending in the whole show! It's funny how people don't like it 😂
Oh. The iron throne was a series of books that grrm loved and Said influenced his writing.
end of an era! taylor your reaction was everything and i was you after my first watch (especially with bran the broken🙄). we can all agree this season was rushed which is a shame. but if you think about it everyone did get an ending that suited their character, it was just executed poorly. but for jon specifically he never wanted to be a leader, and when he was with the wildlings he felt free. so him ending as a ranger aiding the wildlings isn’t what we wanted to see but what jon truly desired! can’t wait for house of dragon! 😍
Serious question for you now brother, after watching this show a second time, 1 - do you like it more or less watching it again? and 2 - does the ending make more sense/make you less mad this time around? Curious as a lot of people have said both of these things!
If y'all haven't reacted to the Coldplay GoT musical that they did for Red Nose Day, I definitely recommend it.
Brand is the Night King. That's why he's king. He set everything up. He's a time traveler.
they really threw together the most random selection of available characters left into the small council and we were supposed to believe they're the ones that can fix the country 😭Bronn the sellsword in charge of money, a maester who studied for 6 months, master of ships who can't read properly...(brienne my girl not u)
Jon would´ve been the best king, he´s a person people follow, and he had Ned´s wisdom and morals. Jon however was always a simple man, he didn´t want luxury and power. So I think he´ll be happy as a free man with the free folk.
Agreed! Just hate how sending him to the wall seemed more like a punishment
Taylor's reaction when Jon stabbed Dani...lol
The Night King is still alive, because NoOne killed him.
So Jon has a mission beyond the Wall, After all, he is the prince that was promised.
“Bran the broken” dumbest name ever lol
It sounds like an insult 😭
Why is the thumbnail the ultimate spoiler?
Wow, very short sighted observations. Bitter. GOT was never about "Deserves." It was about what the remaining lead characters coveted. . And if someone paid attention to the pilot episode, it revealed what each remaining Stark coveted. The show always centered around the Starks, who got the majority of the screen time. If you look back, Jon, Arya & Sansa's puzzle pieces fit perfectly as to what they coveted. Which leaves Bran. Bran being king, was a shock value for most viewers. George had Bran being king before they even shot the pilot episode. It was Bran that was most in awe of the king coming to Winterfell. He was the one that was being taught on how to lead. Bran's character mirrored another famous fictional character, where George sort of borrowed a lot of the same traits, Professor X, Charles Xavier, the leader of the Xmen. A leader with a vast mind, confined to a wheel chair. One needs to be removed from the episode for a day or two, to look back & say that the ending made the most sense, if you actually paid attention. The show was never about "Deserves." Jon never coveted the Iron Throne, the people with the sour grapes, put him on it, to their detriment. Too many wannabe screenplay writers & not enough people tipping their hat to the best TV show ever made.
The last of the Starks achieved their goal
House of the Dragon next
Hi! In this episode I am really sad about the hound and Jaimie. Now I am going to drink cappuccino and cheers to you two.❤
Cheers! 🥂
Get tay on broadway for that intro fr fr
Can we all just agree that Jon Snow should've been the one to kill Night King and take Throne.
its what Aegons dream promises,its what all legends say,Jon is Prince that was Promised.
A Song of Ice and Fire,but i guess this ending suits him aswell,he felt like outcast all his life,and he
feels like thats who he is now maybe,however it may be,lookin forward to Jon Snow spinoff after all this GOT.
it has been an honor watching with you 2 :D
