The Sansa, Theon reunion was surprisingly emotional and awesome. I didn't expect it but it's one of my favorite moments in the show. I feel like Jon telling him that he's a Greyjoy and a Stark made things click for Theon. He saved his sister and then goes to fight for the Starks because he really is both!!
Not a spoiler, but something I wish I had done before watching the next episode. Turn up the brightness on your screen and/or watch in as much dark as possible. It is a very dark episode (not talking about content). There isn't a lot of lighting in the episode and it can be difficult to see. Another great reaction! ❤️
did you notice they put really emotional music over sansa/theon reunion and sansa/Jon but not jon/arya which I found really anti climactic and I think it was the lack of music
@@kappa_06I always loved Sansa so im obviously biased, but I also loved the Sansa and Jon/Theon reunitions, but not the Arya/Jon reunition. It could be because of the score (or lack of) like Sheila is writing about, but I think the main reason is that Im more invested in Sansas storyline, whereas I was never really interested in Aryas (or Daenerys) storyline for that matter 😎
Season 8 made me buy a new TV because it gets dark. Again not talking about tone or the story but a lot of this season is actually in the dark.
After that one episode coming up I seriously ran to Best Buy in the morning.
Jaime naming Brienne a knight is probably the best scene in the entire season.
Jaime knights Brienne with Widow's Wail, while she has Oathkeeper with her. It's the symbolic coming together of the swords Tywin re-forged from Ned Stark's sword Ice. Where else but in Winterfell. With the knighting it's like the Two Swords are one once again. That was a nice touch, dare I say. The first time Jaime saw Brienne was as a prisoner, during that heated "Kingslayer! And what a King he was!..." convo that he had with Catelyn about knighthood and forsaken vows. Now that conversation is complete.
Pod’s song, Jenny of Oldstones, is particularly relevant due to how it’s about one of the tragedies that set up the events of the series and how it’s subject matter resembles Jon’s parents.
The titular Jenny was a commoner/wood witch with links to the Children of the Forest who fell in love with Prince Duncan Targaryen, heir to the Iron Throne and son of Aegon the Fifth, the last good Targaryen King (and one of the protagonists of the excellent prequel short stories, Tales of Dunk and Egg). Aegon had promised Duncan would marry a Baratheon bride but Duncan eloped with Jenny which set off the first Baratheon rebellion. Unlike the later Robert’s Rebellion, this one ended peacefully though when Duncan’s sister married the Baratheon heir (ultimately becoming Robert’s, Stannis’ and Renly’s grandmother and Gendry’s great grandmother ) and Duncan abdicated the Throne to be with Jenny.
Unfortunately this wasn’t a happy ending because of “The Tragedy of Summerhall” when Aegon tried bringing back the dragons a generation before Dany successfully did . The ritual failed for whatever reason and the castle of Summerhall burned down with Aegon, Duncan and most of the court dying in the process. The tragedy resulted in the Mad King in line for the Throne, thus setting the stage for the series.
Jenny survived the fire though and the song is a description of her being at the ruins of Summerhall and the ghosts she’s dancing with are Duncan, his family and everyone else that died as a result of her tragic love.
I though Jenny might have died aswell or people didn’t know her fate
Dunk and Egg, is how I got my name. Been using it as my trail name and it just ended up as my online persona
Thank you so much for this beautiful explanation. I loved Pod’s song when I first heard it, even more so now.
Jenny wasn't a Woods Witch but she brought a Woods Witch to court.
This Woods Witch, "The Ghost of High Heart“ appears in the books in one of Aryas chapters and predicts certain events like the Red Wedding, Lady Stoneheart and the Purple Wedding.
It is likely that she is Jenny's mother and half human half COTF, because she is kind of dwarfish and has red eyes and she can see visions from the Weirwoods.
Well there was Jaeharys the second he was a good person but he die due to sickness.
The reason Bran said "The things we do for love" is because it's what Jaime said just before he pushed Bran out the window all those years ago.
I absolutely loved this episode. The interactions of the characters were so good. That song at the end hits hard.
“The Things We Do For Love” is in reference to what Jamie said to Cersei when he pushed Bran out of the tower. Also, Jon won’t look at Danny because he knows she’s his aunt.
This has to be one of my fav episodes, it hits different watching this and episode 3 back to back
One thing that EVERYONE agrees on is how well the actors did. How well the design teams did. How well the CGI departments did. When it comes to EVERYONE but the 2 showrunners, they all did probably their best work during this season.
And what was wrong with what the showrunners did, mind you?
Pod's singing and brienne's knighthood were some of the higher notes here
This is the best episode of the season, there was nothing plot wise, just character interactions that were badly needed.
The next episode is extremely dark. If you can, watch it with no lights so you don't miss anything
Brienne's knighting and that song.... It felt like the most authentic moments of the show.
With all the nods and callbacks this episode is basically a hour long homage to all the throwback moments of the show. It's like a farewell tour. I vaguely remembered it for being slow, but on rewatches I've grown fond of this episode, as it gets me sad and nostalgic for the crazy journey we've had. It tugged the heartstrings much better than what I initially remembered. Pod's Jenny of Oldstones sets the mood. The Night Before Winter.
@vt_sandman Why only 18? Why not 108? You guys really seem to have confused GOT with a Tellenovella.
@@SerbAtheist haha.
This is my favorite episode of GoT. It's the Breakfast Club episode. There's so much story in every word and every look. We can see what's inside of everybody. Every moment has a glowing story tail that extends almost a full generation back in time.
It's the one episode where nobody's playing any games, just being the people we've watched them become.
Well said.
Definitely one of my favorite episodes. I love seeing all these characters meet and bounce off each other. Tons of fun dynamics! Screw the haters, the chemistry between this great cast is what makes this season so great.
❤️
Even the haters have said this was the best episode. The criticism was always towards the writing, nothing about the chemistry of the cast.
@@kingofmeereen But that's the thing, I love GoT because of its characters and how they deal with one another, so even though I do agree the season was rushed, I still had a great time because I loved watching all these characters come to together. I can't hate season 7 and 8 as much as the haters would like me to, sorry...
Tyrions issue is that as he is trying to make good decisions for Dany, In back of his mind he still also is trying not to kill his family.. so he is making the wrong decisions. So there is conflict within himself deep down
Right before Jaime pushed Brand out of the window he said "The things we do for love".
sounding like Will Smith 😬
@@davidnobre5660 good one 🤣
I absolutely love the series start to end. Definitely one of the best shows made with the amazing character development, story telling and it’s definitely something I’ve enjoyed seeing your reactions too. Happy that you are not taking what others say how they feel about certain episodes and creating your own opinion and thoughts on it.
Honesty the only issue even with Season 8 is the ending in the finale not going to go into detail but it could have been better.
The season as a whole has so many good episodes tbh how could someone not like the battle of winterfell.
Valcor Honestly I don’t even think the ending was that bad, if they didn’t rush it the way they did and really fleshed it out it would have been great.
I've watched Game of Thrones SO many times that I've come to realize that in season 8 there's one episode that's SO crazy that people forget how good the other episodes are. You watch for yourself and don't let ANYONE influence whether or not you like it or not
Without being too spoilery, the 'crazy' episode is the beating heart of the show.
@@SerbAtheist True, and they definitely could have come to that point a better way, but I still enjoyed it in it's totality.
Man idc what anyone says Season 8 has some of the best episodes. So many reunions and characters meeting for the first time which I love.
Here's the problem with Show Tyrion vs Book Tyrion. Tyrion in the last book pretty much starts turning into a villain. Show Tyrion tries to remain a good guy and therefore his actions and personality just come across as stupid because it doesn't work with what the story is trying to do and tell. The Showrunners didn't want to portray Tyrion going bad and that leads to the dumbass we see in this show who tries to be a goody two-shoes whose actions and ideals do not make any sense considering what happened to him in previous seasons because of Tywin and Cersei and King's Landing.
Also somehow they just make it like him and Cersei actually give a shit about each other
There is nothing in the books indicating book Tyrion is going bad. His arc of being in captivity is simply much longer and indeed isn't even properly complete by the end of the fifth book. The books in general have an overall nastier and more cynical tone than the show, but it doesn't make either worse than the other. Such level of cynicism would not have translated well on the TV screen, or do you think it was somehow a tragedy that Penny and 'where do whores go?' was not included in the show. The reason Tyrion is trying to be a goody-two-shoes is that his cynicism nearly got him killed, so he is in an extremely vulnerable position of being sick and tired of being a cynic, i.e. he fervently for just one time in his life wants to believe in something. The fact people prefer a drunken lecherous Tyrion that enjoys putting people down is a completely different matter.
@@SerbAtheist He literally says in the last book he wants to rape and kill Cersei and disowns Jamie after the truth about Tysha is revealed to him. Book Tyrion couldn't give two shits about his siblings anymore. If anything, once he gets to Dany and in a good position with her, he's gonna be the voice in her ear telling her to straight up burn Kings Landing to the ground. Not to mention he manipulates Young Griff to straight up go ahead and begin invading Westeros and Kings Landing instead of going to Dany first thing.
@@HeatKingMedia OK, so he a couple of shades of gray darker of a character and is more upset at Jaime than in the show, while book Cersei is essentially a 2D caricature by the time we get to Crows, but it still doesn't make him the kind of character who would propagate genocide. He defended the people in the Battle of Blackwater very much like on the show. Not to mention, if he was so evil he would have left Penny to her devices a long time ago. In fact, what purpose idealism has in the show is very much served by Penny in the books. She is very much an opposite character to Tyrion, whose whole purpose will be to mellow him out a bit.
Primate spittin facts at the end💯
"MY LITTLE CROW!!" I love Thormund so much.
The biggest difference between Tyrion in the books and show is, in the books, Tyrion is the villain. He's been humiliated and crapped on by the entire world and now he's about to start whispering into Danny's ear exactly what she could do to Kingslanding with her dragons. He is such a dope character!
Wow, book Tyrion hasn't even interacted with Dany yet, save for one very indirect moment, and you already know what things he will be whispering in her ear when they meet! Very prescient of you.
That heartfelt moment when Theon goes to embrace Our Lady of Winterfell Dany's face betrays envy. Don't tell me otherwise 😂. She gotta realize you can't build those connections by fear and intimidation. Dragon Queen ain't got no support system like that lol. After Jaime's "trial" Jon gets up and follows bae and leaves Dany hanging because Jonsa is love Jonsa is life 😭
Finally someone who isn’t letting the haters change their view of the show. It happens with every reactor. I’d honestly classify it as spoiler. You’re giving someone preconceived notions about something they haven’t even watched.
Exactly
People keep saying that it has bad writing but there are so many conversations and moments in this season that are great but as humans we tend to focus on the bad more than the good.
your post episode speech was perfect. couldn't have said it better.
You don't have to justify yourself. Don't let Grrm purists retrospectively skew your enjoyment or your perception. Game of Thrones is the most watched episodic series in the world The series has almost 60 Emmys overall. Those are not opinions, those are statistical facts. It's safe to say it wouldn't have been that if you were the only person enjoying the show.
When you record episode 3, be sure to turn your screen brightness up. It's a notorious darkly filmed episode, and difficult to see what's happening.
I actually enjoyed season 8 and I really loved this episode. It was a great coming together and it also gave Dani a glimpse of how the North truly worked. I think this was a strong episode. There’s more strong episodes coming.
You can't possible say you actually liked the last 2 episodes. The ending was just horrible.
@@jba2693 disagree. It didn’t end the way we wanted to but still a great season. We got too comfortable. Could’ve definitely used 4 more episodes though.
@@lunneytoonez20 I agree completely.
@@jba2693 After watching it a few more times I was ok with it. It was not what everyone wanted, myself included, but the overall theme of the ending was fine by me. The fact that we’re STILL talking about it says something about it’s appeal. Best wishes friend.
@@lunneytoonez20 Definitely not a great season. Honestly it started getting worse after season 4 and while 5 and 6 were good 7 and especially 8 were mediocre at best
Do you know House Of The Dragon is coming out on HBO Max in August 21
its dope to see Brennne vouch for Jamie despite the fuck shit he did and to see her become a knight knowing how good of a fighter she is
Hey Primate! Great reaction as always. For the next episode I recommend dimming your lights in the room because the next episode will be hard to see. Most of the episode is shot at night and you might miss some things if you're in a bright room
I ran out an bought a new TV the next morning because I couldn't see it on mine at the time.
I wonder how Ned stark and Tywin Lannister would feel about this
I do certainly have gripes with season 8, but I do also enjoy the character moments here. I adore that shot of Tormund slamming into Jon to hug him first lol, and Brienne's face when she's knighted, and Arya and Gendry getting together. Also, Bran being top notch dramatic again, saying "the things we do for love" to Jaime just to freak him out. He's not going to tell them what he did, but Jaime doesn't know that, so just the spike of terror he must get from that moment. And then to see Bran just serenely sitting there like he didn't just about make Jaime's heart jump out of his chest. Just, glorious
These both have very different vibes to GoT, so I'm not sure if you'd be interested, but I'd love to see you react to shows like Leverage or The Librarians (also, the Librarian movies, which you should watch first for context for the show, if you end up doing that). Leverage is a found family of criminals who take down the rich and powerful and provide "leverage" to the people who've been victimized by them, through heists and cons and just general fun crime hijinks. Lots of interesting arcs about morality and recovery and justice and redemption throughout. The Librarians is fantasy, about a Library that houses magical artifacts now that the world doesn't know magic exists anymore, and it's about the people who go on adventures to find these artifacts and keep people safe from the repercussions of magical items falling into the wrong hands, basically. It's really lighthearted most of the time, but still has moments that just poleaxe you with emotion. Same with Leverage. They're some of my favorite shows, and they have really good writing too, and rock solid character development (although the Leverage seasons were aired out of order on the network compared to how the writers ordered them on the DVDs, so I'd recommend looking up the DVD order, because I think it makes the pacing make a lot more sense)
This episode is my favourite of the season and I feel like it's the strongest 😊
I totally agree!
I love your take on the later seasons. Its a good show through and through!!!
There are so many amazing moments in S8. All these small exchanges and conversations before the big battle resonate because you know everything they've been through and all their experiences.
Your comment on Tyrion is also very much on point. Cersei might have very well come to Winterfell in exchange for taking Jon out of the battle for the Throne. As is, she chose to risk it and have her enemies tire out in a battle against each other.
I love all of Daenerys’s winter outfits and Sansa’s amour that she incorporates into her outfits
I fucking love season 8. People had too many expectations and soooo many headcanons that they were never really going to like it. That's why I don't do theories or all that bullshit. Glad that you're genuinely enjoying the show and not listening to what others have told you.
"The things we do for love" is what Jamie says right before he pushes Bran out of the window!
Just my two cents - I LOVE the next episode! It's a masterpiece.
A little word of advice for the next episode.. turn your brightness all the way up!
Problem is then it washes out alot of shadow detail but yeah it's rough
Loving your reactuons to GOT. I think book readers have the most complaints. I started the books after watching the show and have seen the differences between the show and the books, but I appreciate the show for what it is.
The song Podrick sings is actually in the books. I believe it's called "Jenny's Song" and is allegedly written by Rhaegar who was paying homage to his love for Lyanna Stark.!
I loved season 7 & 8. Thought whole series was epic.
“People lose something that matters most to them, they change”(ItsAPrimate)
YES thats so true
this is my favorite episode of the last 2 seasons . its been a ride primate
We understand how people would make the same decisions as Tyrion does but the point is that Tyrion is supposed to be to smart to believe those things and make the decisions he does.
There was nothing wrong with season 8 except for it just being too darn short. Everything makes sense, it just would have been better to have more of a build up to it. My only complaint.
Exactly
My thoughts exactly. I think most were upset it's not the fan service they were expecting. It's developed way too fast but it is logical.
@@cherrypi_b I honestly think I was one of the few that said...ya, I get it, I like what they did here...at the end. 🤣
Great reaction.
Not all white walkers have long white hair or look a like, look back at Season 7 Episode 6 when one of them handed the Night King his spear to kill Viserion, his head was bald.
Thank you for saying that, I loved the entire show as well. Perfectly said!
I stand with Sansa on this one man. Daenerys is just so entitled for her to think the people of the north would just bend the knee to her like that. I don’t care what people say, I had a great time watching this season!
Daenerys literally brought all her army to defend the north and shows her respect to Sansa. Sansa: "But what about my power rights"...Bitch, there's no time for this now!
It was a good season people just hopped on the bandwagon of saying it was bad
@@user-xx6vy9ri8p sansa has been entitled since the first season, idk why they saying she had a whole turnover 💀
@@tylermagruder Duh, always that bullshit "you just hatin" because apparently fans who waited 8 years to see the ending sure would hate it if it was good...
@@Paulina-yi7xn she’s not entitled. She’s a stark and that’s her home. She thought her brother was being manipulated, and she doesn’t want to give up her power to a foreign ruler. Anyone would literally feel the same. Especially because it’s a Targaryen, a child of the man that murdered her grandfather & Uncle. Sansa is allowed to not want to bow down to her. Y’all just hate her for it because you love Daenerys
You are absolutely right on everything you said. And most new reactors react the same way as you. So much brilliant stuff in the later seasons. Vast majority of viewers loved in real time, but now post-2019 gets shitted on by asoiaf geeks who has hijacked the narrative about the show. All of Tyrion's actions come down to him trying to be a dettering force to Dany's destructive abilities. Too many 4d chess geniuses can't comprehend that. Of course he will be fish out of water after running into exile after killing his father. These peoples idea of good writing is having a rigid charisma less log like stannis ruling happily ever after. I would rather watch paint dry. Their idea of good writing is disney cringe like arya wearing jaime's mask to kill cersei. I'd take the shows bad writing any day over the stuff these people came up with. That's the reason why GoT was watched by everyone and their mother and got every award in the face of this earth. If they had wrote to satisfy the forums, twenty thousand people would be watching it instead of twenty million.
Truth!
Even worse. These people don't simply say 'Well, this wasn't my cup of tea, but if you like it good for you.'
They ACTIVELY hound the show runners, invent utterly bizarre conspiracy theories and are overall determined that nothing that doesn't satisfy their extremely pedestrian fanboy tastes ever be allowed to air again.
First, the whole Star Wars thing. YEARS IN ADVANCE, the show was planned to have 7 seasons. That was before we even knew if there would be a fourth or fifth season. D&D EXTENDED it to 8 seasons. What they D&D REFUSED to do was artificially inflate the story (without being spoilery, it is obvious many things about the ending were planned years in advance), just so the fanboys could gorge on a neverending stream of content that sooner or later they themselves would tire, all the while complaining how the show 'wasn't as good as it used to be.'
Second, they made up this massive conspiracy theory that D&D instituted MASSIVE last minute changes in the final season for... I guess no reason at all other than to spite the 'devoted fans.' Yup, D&D both at the same time wanted to get rid of GOT as quick as possible, AND spend an inordinate amount of time and effort changing the scenes from their original intention.
Thus, it is not enough for them to say... 'I don't like what D&D did' or even 'I think D&D did not do a good job in the final season.' D&D have to be painted as the ultimate villains or buffoons, or better yet, both, in this massive smear campaign for 'ruining' the show they literally spend an entire decade of their lives bringing to the TV screen.
@@SerbAtheist you my friend are amazing
You are sensational
Lmaooo I was saying "PREACH" when you were going off in the end 😅
If you’re looking for a good cast reaction, go watch the table read through for the final season when the actor who plays Varys found out his fate.
If you think Arya is bad ass now, next episode is INSANE
The giant's milk story is from the book. If you think tormund is mental in the show you should hear some stuff he comes with in the books
His whole story about “having relations” with a bear, and Ygritte’s reply. 😂😂😂 That whole exchange so many seasons ago still cracks me up.
And the way he tries to “seductively?” eat AT Brienne. The look on her face. 😂😂😂
The things we do for love is what Jamie said before pushing Bran out the window.
Jaime, Theon, Jorah and The Hound have the best character arcs
However you feel about season eight just remember George Martin gave the show runners assurances since 2008 he would have the books done and then left the whole world hanging on a thread!
Histories and lore for each season is good to watch, if you're interested in that stuff. No need to edit them down either since they don't get blocked.
Jamie looks worried and threatened by Tormund's story. He had to step up and made Brienne a knight to gain more points 😂
I feel like the origin of the Walkers is totally something someone will have asked at some point, but we already know the origin as a viewer, it's wasted screen time when other things need showing to us probably. But it would have been cool to see their reactions I agree.
Finally! The real fans of the show are starting to come out again. For a while there (and possibly still, on some other channels), all you were left with are complainers in the comments. You are the first reactor that I watched in a long time, because I liked going into the comments to read what people were saying, but I had to stop. Again...finally we are seeing positive comments (and commentators) who understand the real reason the show went this way. Basically, the character arcs haven't been written yet, and despite what people say, the showrunners did the best they could with what little outline they were given. For some reason, people are so naive that they think GRRM, giving D&D an outline, means that he gave them an ending. I can guarantee that he didn't (what writer in their right mind would do that), so they were left with trying to finish a story they thought they would have an ending to when they began the project, without a means to an end. Also, they've been on this uncertain journey for more than 10 years, they needed it to end. People will say that GRRM had loads of ideas to make it last, but the interview that he says that is when he still believed that he would finish the books. He threw D&D under the bus by not finishing the story when season 5 came around...and still, to this day. I don't blame D&D for walking away. And I think they did a fantastic job with what they had to work with. Good on you for understanding this, and staying positive, despite the negative viewers & commentors. I know it's why I keep coming back to check out your reactions. And I don't think I'm the only one. In fact, I'm sure of it.
bruh next episode is the pinnacle episode for me of the entire series. i remember watching it during premier it was fire! you cant please everyone no matter how it would end. if you dig it then awesome enjoy it man. cancel out the noise. it wasnt my fav ending but as you said at worst its not bad, and it is not bad at all.
Yeah everyone differs in where they think it went bad, but most watchers do believe the show fella part somewhere in season 8 mostly it’s that the character arks didn’t follow their natural trajectories. And it was because the writers had a contract to do a stairwars movie so they cut the show from its proposed 10 seasons to 8 and rushed to wrap it all up. They did such a bad job that Disney fired them from the star wars movie after the end of HBOs GOT
The end of GoT brought storytelling experts swarming out of the woodwork, but somehow y'all are still more concerned about throwing shade than creating better stories.
'Natural trajectories'??? Hahahaha! The very thing GOT did since SEASON 1 was throw a giant sledge hammer at these 'natural trajectories'. What you call natural trajectories I call soul-crushing pablum and story-telling mediocrity. People have grown so accustomed to the Hollywood tropes they wouldn't know a good story if it hit them in the face.
Dany and Jaime coming face to face reminded me of that beautiful description of Westeros, or rather Rhaesh Andhal in the Dothraki tongue, as Dany would imagine it in exile. It ends with a thought about Jaime :

The knighting of Brienne of Tarth is probably in my top 3 favourite moments of this whole show. I personally loved this whole season. I think a lot of people jumped on the hate bandwagon, I wish you could've watched it without even hearing any of that negativity so that you could've come to your own opinion without any other crap.
Also, I don't know if you've seen, but each episode of season 8 has a "behind the scenes" video on the HBO youtube page that came out after each episode was released. Really fun to watch in my opinion!!
There were two episodes of this season that I love and one that I like! You’ve seen the two I love now. I’m curious to see how you like that ones to come. It’s a wild ride for sure!
I agree with you. I don’t understand all the complaints. I loved every season. Were they perfect? No. But not even the earlier seasons were perfect. And I think you’re right, I think it’s a case of having to wait more than a year between seasons, so the anticipation becomes so great and the expectations increase along with it. So be coming disappointed is a forgone conclusion because nothing can live up to the hype. But when you don’t have to wait that long you don’t have unrealistic expectations.
"You have a daughter, I have a son. We'll join our houses" ~ Bobby B.
If it wasn’t Dany they wouldn’t make it, she sacrificed everything to come help, I’d want a little gratitude as well.
They're all sacrificing everything, she went north to avenge her dragon and to win support for the throne, she's hardly doing a selfless act of kindness lol. If she wasn't so arrogant and aggressive, perhaps she might be more welcome. Its not like it's a "they need her, she doesn't need them", if they lose the battle, Westeros is doomed.
I totally agree with you. The later seasons weren’t perfect but that doesn’t mean we didn’t get to see a lot of good moments and battles. I cant believe it when some people say they stopped watching after season 5 like what lol
Jon is acting different because he realizes that Dany is his aunt , and he is disturbed by it now because he see's it as incest
Danny didn't like that Theon and Sansa was able to put the past behind and be family again after what he did. He finally lost his fear and did what was right even at a great cost.
“I never wanted to be the king… I swear” 🎶 👑
After season 8 you should watch its Pitch Meeting by Ryan George. And I get what you're saying. The gripes people aren't obvious right now. The obvious ones are coming.
I loved this episode. I will say the hype going into this season was way too high and thats why people hate on it mostly, so u are expecting something horrible and just experiencing it naturally. Nothing wrong with having your own opinion.
Uhhhh no… the reason people hated it was because they put 2-3 seasons worth of shit and mashed it into 6 episodes which made it feel insanely rushed. If the outcome was the same but we had like 10-15 more episodes to really see why things unfolded the way they did it would’ve been better. Like cmon dude… I don’t want to spoil too much Incase he reads this but we have 7 seasons building the long night. And look at what we got lmao, over in a day
@@94germy Look down
I don't like the whole outrage over the battle being one episode, like what? They were supposed to fight for weeks? Months? Some of the hate is warranted, but a lot isn't. The rushed pacing was bad and a lot of minor details that would've been explored in earlier seasons were left out because of time constraints, so it felt like they were just hitting plot points. That hatred is warranted. But idk... All the characters ended up doing exactly what we thought they would do. Dany, Jon, Bran... It was always going to end that way, but the classic, dense GoT storytelling was thrown out the window because dumb and dumber wanted to go film Star Wars. But hey, look at the brightside. Sapochinik and Condal will do an amazing job with House Of The Dragon and won't do what DnD did. The future of GoT is in good hands. All we need is for George to finish the books lol. A man can only hope.
@@MFBloosh Spoiler warning
I can agree that Jon and Dany did what some viewers expected them to do, but Bran? Him becoming king came out of nowhere for most. And the way he became king didn't make sense in my opinion. Tyrion is put on trial Greyworm tells him to be quiet Tyrion continues speaking Greyworm for some reason does not stop him and Tyrion says Bran should be king. And everyone in the council agrees. Tyrion says himself: "Half the lords hate me because I served Dany and the other half hate me because I betrayed her." The arguments he makes for Bran becoming king only make sense (leaving the question whether the candidate with the best story is the best and whether Bran has the best story aside) for people who know the story. Viewers understood what Tyrion meant when he said he learned to fly and became the three-eyed raven. But did Gendry, Yara, Edmure or the prince of Dorne understand it? I am not even sure whether Sam and Sansa knew what being the three-eyed raven meant. For most council members a man they did neither like nor trust suggested Bran using arguments they didn't understand and they just said: "Aye." It might have made sense if Tyrion was known in Westeros not only in the fandom for being highly intelligent, but is he? People who know him like Sansa think so (or thought so before he was outsmarted by Cersei), but the rest? Tywin took the credit for Tyrions work in season two and he didn't do a great job as Dany's hand. Why exactly did for example Edmure agree to what Tyrion said. He has no reason to like Tyrion or his family, doesn't know how intelligent Tyrion is and probably didn't understand a word he said.
Besides Bran gave the North independence immediately after his election, meaning he is now a foreigner in his kingdom. Firstly, at the very least Yara who had asked Dany for independence of the Iron Islands should have also asked for independence, probably also the prince of Dorne. Secondly, why would the six kingdoms accept a foreigner as king? Not to mention he then sends Jon to the wall allthough his authority ends at the neck. I am sorry but Bran becoming king giving the north independence and then sending Jon, who after Dany's death is again king in the North although he doesn't want it, to the wall is as if the EU made Theresa May head of the EU comission before the Brexit, allowed her to keep her post after the Brexit and then tried to banish Queen Elisabeth to Scotland.
People hate it because of character assassinations and crap writing that makes no sense.
@@patrickdematosribeiro1845 why in the hell would you even write the spoilers. You risk them seeing it. Smh
Hard to believe you're already on the final season. Man time flies
The Jamie and Brienne interviews are hilarious btw
there was a lot of hate on these episodes, but i was in the same head space you are right now.. totally hyped for the battles that ensue.
People don't like how GOT ends coz of the lesson it teaches about those who can believe in the righteousness of their leaders too much.
The only problem have I have with Game of Thrones is coming up. I am kinda curious to see what ya think about them and see if ya have the same issues!! There is a couple glaring issues with the last 3 episodes that really grind my gears. Not gonna spoil them though
Jon’s a leader but not a conqueror. Daenerys’ a conqueror but not a leader.
Episode 3 is the last of GoT that I really enjoyed. I will say this about the rest of the season: It has the best cinematography of the whole series.
Some people are just salty, for the sake of being salty.
I get having your own opinion, and thinking season 7 and 8 sucks big donkey balls.... but I've seen the same person, a few times, on different reactors season 7 & 8 videos, commenting on how much they hate it.
I don't get the mentality of re-watching reactions, for episodes you despise, on multiple different channels, JUST to tell the person how much you hate it. If you like it, of course you want to watch it multiple times on different channels.... but if you hate it, either you are watching something you hate over and over again (which makes no sense), or are not actually watching the video each time, but are coming specifically just to leave an episode hate comment (which also makes no sense).
If I hate something, the last thing I want to do is log into every comment thread about it, that I can find, just to say how much I hate it. I value my time too much to waste it like that.
Podrick trying to imitate Pippin thats funny xD well not like this was ever being very subtle about trying to imitate Lord of the Rings :D
Primate making up his own mind about S8 GOT restores my faith in humanity 💗
The last decent episode of GoT....may she be forever remembered
the white walkers all look the same because they're all craster's sons or at least we can assume that some of them are
I wouldn't call it bad Tyrion writing. There has been a theme of the "older" characters getting outplayed by newer people. Cersei also has Qyburn as a hand and he's fairly smart too. I enjoyed the "Nights Watch" reunion too and I always love seeing Ghost.
The whole story with the two of them is just completely bad last two seasons and just makes no sense. Tyrion not wanting to just take kings landing Cersei not killing Tyrion when he’s there unprotected like it’s just bad.
@@Cream-2128 So you think it's bad that family members, despite all the bad blood that transpired between them, are still reluctant to kill each other?
@@SerbAtheist She literally tried to have him killed his whole life!
@@Cream-2128 Only when she was a child grieving for her mother and when she thought he was responsible for Joffrey's murder. Otherwise, they managed to have quite a few conversations in the earlier seasons where they were civil with each other and even complimentary at times.
If Brienne doesn't want Tormund...I do
I would say I can’t wait for your reaction to the last 3 episodes, but I really can wait
Tyrion: One of you must know one....
Me:
🎵Have you heard what they said on the news today?
Have you heard what is coming to us all?
That the world as we know it will be coming to an end
Have you heard? Have you heard?
He sees them in the distance, when the darkened clouds roll
He could feel tension in the atmosphere
He would look in the mirror see an old man now
Does it matter they survive somehow?
They said there's nothing can be done about the situation
They said there's nothing you can do at all
To sit and wait around for something to occur
Did you know? Did you know?🎵
Okay i don´t really often comment but now i have to. Believe me i liked season 7 and even when season 8 aired i was so hyped for every episode. I couldn´t really see the bigger picture up until the end of Episode 3. Thats when it all went down for me. When i see you having so much fun watching this episode, i see myself watching it for the first time. I still was a huge fan from this series up untill this point. I still wanted to buy every merch like GoT Monopoly, the whole Book collection, DvD collection etc etc. But in the end i found myself loving this show only up to season 7. Don´t get me wrong there are good parts in Season 8 and astonishing shots but the outcome of this show is horrible in my opinion. You are kinda still in the bubble like i was and i don´t want to get more into detail and maybe you like the outcome but i doub´t it. Im so curious and can´t wait to see your reactions. Keep going, i really like your content. (When i think about GoT i kinda think about Linkin Park - IN THE END while im writing this. - I Tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn´t even matter-
Everyone loved this episode when it aired.
Tormund’s rizz is crazy bro. I just know Brienne wanted that🙏🙏🙏🙏
Those who've watched your channel know you find joy even in things many others dislike. You may want to put a disclaimer at the start of all your episodes if you feel the need to defend that. But you shouldn't have to. After all, there are nearly 8 billion people on the planet. It's statistically unlikely we'll all like the same things.
*Edit:* And this is coming from someone who _absolutely despises_ what *Game of Thrones* became after they ran out of book material. But even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Be well. 🙋🏼♂️
😂 true!
Would Dany agree to step back for Jon? Zero chance. And it's not a "sudden development" in her either. Dany has always been exactly the same type of domineering and intolerant to anyone questioning her authority. Most of her scenes in the last 5 seasons is her advisors trying to restrain her from doing something drastic. But some ppl act surprised as if they expected her to be all nice and spiffy now that those opposing her aren't unknown Meerenese nobles anymore but beloved characters on this side of the sea.
I suspect that like Beric Dondarian saying every time he comes back from the dead he's a little less himself. I think every time Dany burns herself to death and comes back she is a little less herself. But where Beric believes in the Lord of Light as the reason he comes back and becomes more of a fanatic each time - Dany only believes in herself. So each time she comes back she is convinced in her supremacy. Her power. Her right to rule.
When it just might be a genetic trick.
