The faceless men are the most interesting group in Game of Thrones.
What makes them so interesting is that they’re like hitmen, only a selective few get to be one of them.
TV Show made it look so lame. In the books, they have a grand plan and are probably working with the Iron Bank and are capable of taking down princes and princesses in Essos if they don’t pay their debts.
What? The Faceless men? It’s literally the worst, weirdest, most boring content that GoT created. Absolutely awful.
easily
@@fortchyx422 That's why GoT is so appealing. It has multiple storylines that appeal to different people.
One faceless man is worth more than one army, because how can you catch nobody?
How can you catch an army?
@@foxstudios8979 With a dragon and some Dothraki
A man must ask the right questions then you shall find the answer
@ZULU MATUBU faceless men are GoT illuminati confirmed
You become nobody you become everybody
"looking forward to the last season"
Oh sweet summer child
😂😂
The faceless men are cool, but were so much cooler before Aria went over there and lazily wafted through their program. I think they're suffering from low applicant rates.
totally agree! I remember seeing the first time Jaquen changed his face, it was like HOLY CRAP WTF!?!?!
It’s Arya you uncultured swine
I think it's just Jaquen and the Waif. Seriously, do we see any other Faceless Men
Maybe only 2 of them are there at a time and they just switch the same faces when they're there
there must be many faceless man all throughout the series, we just don't know.. you know that it's always the peak of work hours during those war seasons, amirite?
"You have everywhere else to go" damn
@dylan alvarez The series didn't even get the image of dragons right. Of course it wouldn't have followed medieval cultures either.
Snazzy Jovial Wyrm
The dragons looked cool. Idk what youre on about.
The dire wolves tho...
It is great that you are explaining things simply, when by yourself you have to read +1000 resources to fully understand the topic.
So thank you for your work!
Litteraly internet. Google and summaries. Doesn't take much to understand..
Winter has been coming since 1996. GRRM needs to finish the damn story.
@Jake Mills yeah HBO will and then RR Martin will write book adaptations of the show....
He’s never going to finish it man.
All his big plot twists have already been done in the show.
At least when the walking dead show went past the comics kirkman still had scope to move his story where he saw fit.
Martin is pigeon holed into concluding the threads he began all those years ago.
The show has already exposed most of what he had planned.
I’m more looking forwards to the history’s being explored in the new prequel shows that are blatantly on the way.
One has been commissioned but you can bet your life HBO will make several more shows.
They already have the licence need to adapt Martins material and what else do they have on HBO to draw viewership post Game of Thrones.
@@ZaZa-kp9gt the walking dead never went past the comic
J P comparing a pop culture phenomenon to a classic?
@@TainaElisabeth unreal right, the walking dead will never reach got status
The magic that allowed them to change their "faces" actually DID allow them to change height & mass. Although it's not explicitly stated in the show, it is shown to be the case several times. The change is pretty much instant. Though it's not really clear if this is a result of a glamour, or actual physical change..
The House of Black and White...where favorite characters and their developments go to die.
i think Arya did in a way become no one; at least enough for her to use the skills given to her by the faceless men without violating there laws.
my evidence for this: she was able to defeat the Waif. the many face God is promised names and so in order to protect themselves from being named, the faceless man cast off there old identity that gave them a name. Jaqen H'ghar said "now a girl is truly no one.". also when he gave Arya the water from the well he said "if a girl is no one, then she has nothing to fear" (or something like that) they only kill people and people have names/identities.
i think when Arya killed Meryn Trant, she not only was killing the wrong man but also using another identity before removing her own. but when she became no one she used other identities to kill the Freys. so far she hasn't been punished for it and i don't think she will be. she may go by a name, but she isn't the same Arya that left Winterfell, survived kings landing, escaped Harrenhal, met the brotherhood, traveled with the hound, sailed to Bravos and stepped into the house of black and white. She isn't Arya Stark. nor is she a true faceless man.
she is no one.
Lovely ❤️👍
I'm glad someone else was paying attention, these other idiots are complaining about the whole character Arc.
If the water from the well is poison, then she died and her face became part of the many faces, no?
The faceless men are so smart, once you stop being someone with desires and emotions you become unstoppable because you become NO ONE and nobody can stop no one specially if a man can become someone else.
If I had a daughter I would want her to be like Arya. That way I know if I'm murdered that I will be avenged.
If you have a son name him Ramsay
You'd HAVE to get murdered for her to turn out like Arya. Worth it?
Senior Woodz smart
@@debajyotibiswas876 Ramsey will probably kill you and your other children just to be your heir. I think Jon Snow should be your child. He's honourable, can fight and will always be by your side
Wait what 😅 you messing with wrong people or what
who killed the Night King..."No One"
😊😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅
😂😂😂😂😂 low key still angry how they did jon
One thing I still don't understand;
After helping her escape Harrenhal, Jaqen H'gar tells Arya, "A girl has many names on her lips, 'Joffrey, Cersei, Ilyn Payne, Meryn Trant, the Hound,' names to offer up to the many-faced God. She could offer them all, one by one."
But, if she is meant to become, "no one," forsaking her former Identity, and vengeance against those who have wronged her or killed her family members is strictly forbidden, why did Jaqen H'gar tell her she could?
Why didn't he tell Arya she couldn't use what she learned there for her own personal reasons before, when he gave her the coin?
He didn't just neglect to mention she had to forget her, "list," along with her identity as Arya Stark.
He actually used the list to entice her into going, making it sound like he would help teach her to become a proficient enough killer to scratch the names from it herself one day.
Either something changed in the time between when he gave her the coin and when she arrived at the House of Black and White, or it's a discrepancy in the story.
I thought the same thing. When she killed the guy in the brothel, afterwards Jaqen said she was not ready and that she took the wrong life. I get that her target was the thin man at the docks but I mean the other guy was just as bad
Apostate of Doom If she has fatal flaws and had to learn her skills through training and adversity then she wasn’t a Mary Sue
Great now I want to rewatch GoT again, and replay the different Dark Brotherhood quest lines in the Elder Scrolls game, you just reminded me how awesome Assassins are.
Guess what, Arya only used her skill one time to take revenge for her family, after that writers forgot to use her skills.
Anyone here after Season 8 ends??
Yeah dude. At least the books are still awesome.
Excluding the amazing blade work she learned that she used quite a lot? Using the face magic isn’t the only thing she learned.
She killed the entire Frey family, Little Finger, wights, and the Night King himself
It would be great if you could do the drowned god or the lord of light
I'll add it to the list mate, thanks :)
FilmComicsExplained the ever growing list
Well all gods are apart of the many faced god as explain in this video
Face it, they aren't real.
lol
le gasp! really??
Delet this
Orlando Galindo No, I lied
Raspberry Crumble Le gaspes!!
The Faceless Men and the Many-Faced Gods is the perfect example to explain something truly macabre.
This plotline/part really freaked/creeped me out, I gagged when I saw the wall full of dead faces.
Arya's one tough chick.
💐Thanks for sharing/scaring.
"I am everyone and no one. Everywhere. Nowhere. Call me ... Darkman." Was this the inspiration for the GoT Faceless?
Awesome video, nice to see that you threat the books and the series as different parts.
Well, this sure didn’t age well....”looking forward to the last season”
Yeet new upload!! Thanks for making my day Niyat!
Valar morghulis
sounds a bit sexist but ok...
Thats what Valar Morghulis means

All men must serve..^
best show, best youtube channel.
"Looking forward to the last season"
Oh you poor thing if only time travel had existed yet
I just listened to the the Creed song and it explains everything.
It will be funny if for some reason Jaqen H'ghar next season appears with Tom Cruise's face... MI2 movie reference there if anyone is wondering lol
You’re growing so fast, keep up the great videos. GOT has to be one of the best book to film adaptations there are. At least in my opinion.
I love that you cover all my favorite shows!
“I’m quite excited for the last season”
Boy that didn’t age well
I wonder if the theory that the other girl killed arya and now is passing for her is true, and also if its true i wonder whats her intention
That would explain how Arya suddenly became such a killing machine.
Tom Bumk well she did train for months, blind folded etc
But the other girls face was on display in the thing so that can't be possible
Don't worry I don't need a fake face because I'm the Dragonborn.
Excellent video. I have read the books many times and I have watched the TV show; your exploration is very enjoyable. I learned a few things also. Thank you.
My favourite UA-cam channel, you are amazing!
awesome dude!
Hi Film Comics Explained there is one thing I don’t understand and that is the headless monks in Doctor Who, and I just never had the courage to ask if you could make a video on thank you for taking my suggestion in to consideration.
Your videos are awesome!! Like of every genre they're so well put together! Might I suggest a video talking about The red woman and their religious order?
"I look forward to the final season" this aged like milk thanks to the writers of season 8 imo. Thank you for the explanation, ive been trying to piece together the history and lore but i get easily confused. you're work is incredibly helpful as I continue my studies into world building, horror, screenwriting, and creative writing in general
When you and your squad got in trubble at school but try to not react to give away who acctually did it.You’re the FACELESS MEN
Amazing as ever mate!!!
Thanks mate!
Wow great channel thank you
Can someone answer my question pls. So if Arya didn't go with the program or their rules would the faceless men be after her? She became a faceless man and she has lists to kill which is decided by her and that was where she ignored the rules right?
The faceless men is a group I would be apart of just because of their disguises and assassination techniques
They should make a spin off based on this character it's would be awesome
5 years later ppl still watching this video thank you
Please also do the Lord of Light or the Seven Gods as well.
I was always curious about the faceless men also since the many-faced God exists and the lord of light I which other God exist like the drowned God
Light sabers explained
Something like League of Shadows from DC Comics.
Thank you for the content 'Knee rat'
Your channel is amazing! Really fun and informative! Great job
That building is so beautiful
They should hire a Faceless Man to assasinate the Night King
They kinda did. Arya killed him.
He was excited about the last season. Damn I was too
The temple of sociopathy. To be above ego and emotion, is to achieve the high-functioning state.
April is here and the final season is upon us. Polish up on your GoT character histories among the7 kingdoms and the great family mysteries and folklore of Westeros
Interesting. Thank you for the information!!👍
The lord of light and the many faced God worked together in the end
thanks for the explanation, exactly what I was looking for
You can't see their real identity by face-to-face
Absolutely love your channel, keep it up!
I think cats should be allowed to enlist at the House of Black and White - they are the best assassins! ^..^
PS- Ser Pounce is a Faceless Man!
Hell yeah to whoever requested this Lol an Great video man thanks for putting in the work to make them. 👍☮️
How about the characters of Oz? That should give a good month of content
Love your channel. Quality vid as usual
Very Informative as always
A fantastic plot line.... that went NO WHERE
do more GOT plzzzzz great vid
so , is arya a deserter now ? she can use the faceless men's magic right ? but she's not part of them so ... aren't they supposed to hunt her down ? she stole the means they deliver their gifts with after all right ?
Love your videos, I just wish you would make them a little longer and go into a bit more detail. It's almost like you are doing abridged lore videos.
i didnt know that 47 was a member of the faceless men.... or hairless men...
Great idea for a vid. You shld do a series on GoT.
Yeh I was planning on making a playlist I already have two other videos on GOT :)
I believe this
Hey Nyat, have you ever thought about covering the hollows from the Dark Souls trilogy?
Can you do a video about chaos from 40K i get confused at times
yeh its on the list :)
FilmComicsExplained i can now sleep in peace
Here I am on 11 August 2018 and watching this video was the FIRST I've heard that they are planning on producing a prequel to GOT! That's definitely good news :-)
The faceless men started off as merchants who traded with the Boltons
Bet Thier Christmas's where fun....here I being you the gift of death🤣🤣 gee thanks lol
So the thing in the movie where jaquen poisens himself, who died there? That scene didn't happen in the books I guess?
Great video
The Bravos lore made by HBO mentioned Vengeance as a reason they kill.
Amazing.
Yo dude, I love your channel but recently I haven't been seeing your videos showing up in my subscription feed, just thought I'd let you know
Hey bro, Have you clicked the notification bell? Coz it wont show you every post unless you click it even if you have subscribed :)
The prequels teaser jus dropped today!!
Great video. Thanks
Do you think you could explore what “Unic” is?
Robert should have hired the Faceless Men to assasinate Daenerys, instead he hired some incompetent wine merchant.
The waif was such a great actress
The Black hand / Dark brotherhood!!!
I’m ready to die already, many faced god. You can have my soul. Send next sign and thought please…control my actions and lead me there to the light….im ready.
great video! can you do the jp3 spinosarus plz (it wasn't normal trust me it was a beast)
A man has made an excellent video 👍
Only thing wrong was when Arya killed Walder Frey thr girl she portrayed was much taller and a different build than her. So they can change size.
The Godskins before they were the Godskins
I love game of thrones its the best show in the whole world
Keanu Jansma
Well not the best but a good one at least. I prefer JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis's work though. I guess GOT is somewhat better than Harry Potter.
I love this secret society
Letting Aria stay Aria after going through the training took away from the guild.
The TV show really dropped the ball with the Faceless Men, along with Arya, around season 4. Such a shame.
im off the opinion that show was started to go down after season 4.
Yeah, even with the show itself being complete now, I still feel like they could’ve done SO MUCH MORE with the Faceless Men. I mean, I’m sure there might be a couple other novels/films that could follow a similar idea but still... The entire concept - as well as the ‘world building’ process in general - is so relentlessly engaging that literally ANYTHING could’ve been possible 💯 Arya’s biography and the life she lived, the experiences she survived... maaaannn 😖 everything about her makes so much sense now 🤦🏾♂️
Please God do a break down of the Merovingian from the Matrix! I think I get what he is but I'm not tech support, if you get what I mean?
The amazing trick of camera movements and character placement to save money on cgi effects.
