Hey you had reacted to the first Saw movie a fiew weeks ago.
I really swear even if you were not so happy with Saw 1 the other mvies Saw 2 to Saw7 are getting better and better especialy saw 4 is such a good movie withe a really good Storyline and Ending and from that Movie every Saw Movie get better and better and cooler.
So please React to the other Saw movies.
I swear that next to the brutal and cringe ways of killing persons this Movies give you a really good crimemovie (if this is the true word in Englisch)
Sorry come from germany and i dont know how you call movies wich a lot of Police and investigation
i dont know is it coincidence or not Games of thrones little bit looks like Warcraft

You just gonna continue posting videos of your face and barely any video?
Melisandre didn't turn into a wight. The Lord of Light was keeping her alive for centuries so she could help defeat the Night King when the time came. That's why she looked so old without her necklace. So when the Long Night ended her job was ended too and she could finally die and rest, turning into dust.
👆👆👆
yup, primate is half blind or something xd
I'm pretty sure Mel is a fire wight. The Lord of Light doesn't do anything. There is no doubt that there is some kind of power at play, but there's no proof that there is an actual divinity behind it. Besides, the books makes it very clear that she's no longer quite human. Her death in the show is very sloppy writing. It's obvious that D&D couldn't come up with a satisfying death for her during the battle so they just hastily gave her a poorly written death scene after the battle.
I really loved Mel's ending. I thought it was very eerie and fitting.
If you remember the episode “Mockingbird” her necklace was off in the bath. We saw her true age because she lost her faith. What we saw was her literally become as old as dust and go to the nothing once her purpose was fulfilled. I’d place her between chaotic neutral and chaotic good.
I don't think Melisandra was connected to the Night King, per se. She was just tired and really old and her part in the war was done. She took off the necklace and died. Her watch has ended.
Has been said countless times, but still, the soundtrack to this man.
This season's soundtrack is my favorite.
Only good thing about this episode.
@@user-xx6vy9ri8p You say it like it's a fact
@@brettstalling2269 It is.
Ramin Djawadi is a fuggin boss.
the darkest episode in GOT. not in the actual plot of the show, but just darkness lmao
Yeah, I ran out an bought a new TV first thing the next morning when it originally aired. I couldn't see half the episode. 😂
This episode had terrible cinematography,very unsatisfying conclusions
Aww dude Thomas Lynch misses the superninja logic of Jaqen hanging a whole platoon of Lannister soldiers at Harrenhal to help Arya escape. Back when GoT was uber realistic!! Back when Stannis could come out of his ships on eastwatch by the sea with a whole army to amush the north and not a soul noticed!! Back when 100k men with giants and mamoths couldn't figure out how to defeat a 100 men at the wall!!
True that. Has to download the episode and up the brightness myself cause I couldn't see anything at all.
I mean Melisandre did always say that the night was dark and full of terrors. I know I’m really late but I’m just now watching this reaction.
-Maybe we should have stayed married.
-You were the best of them.
-What a terrifying thought.
These two 😢
Tyrion is legit the only guy I could ever see Sansa actually being happy with.
They should've stayed married
I waited all day for this 😂
IMO Jorah had the best death in the entire show. He went out the way he always wanted to. Protecting his queen.
I got mixed feelings about the outcome of this episode. I wanted it to be Jon Snow who defeats the Night King. 🤷🏾♂️
Yes, his armour which saved him in first season suddenly became plastic...
@@natedoggg2002 I wish it was theon who killed the NK. Personally I would have liked it if theon charged the NK like how it happened. Then jon dueled the NK, whether it was a 1 on 1 with everyone watching or if he just made his way over there. But have them fight and have Jon start to lose. Then when all seems lost have theon stab the NK in the back, possibly getting stabbed again in the process. Theon ends up dying of course but he saved everyone else and redeemed himself. This is just a thought so many changes could be made, but I think it’d be pretty cool lol
Getting stabbed through armor lol

The score for this episode solidified it for me being the greatest soundtrack for any show ever.
sssh
Talking poetic endings to an arc, I really love the fact that the blade Arya used to save the world was the same one that started the whole war back in Season 1!
@Philippe Durocher it was the one that was used to try and kill Bran.
@Philippe Durocher Yeah well Needle didn't start the war. It was the golden dagger they tried to assasinate Bran with
Noah's ark?
Or a character arc?
@@USCFlash 🤣nice catch!
@@Orimthekeyacolite
Thanks, I try to be pedantic humorously. 😎😎
Like I said. Lady Mormont is the biggest badass in all the seven kingdoms. She's the Giantslayer
Facts man loved her character
She was small but she was fierce. Is a pity we couldn't see her as grown up...imagine how badass she would be
Yeah, because the giant put her next to his eye instead of just smashing her with his log...Anyone could do what she did in her position.
❤️
Why would Giant put her so close to his face?
14.41 min. "I like Bran's character arc man!"
Our boy is one of a kind. His mind is like non others.
He's truly unique 😄
No he’s not. Many of us love it. It’s great seeing a helpless cripple become all knowing.
@@NandR I think the thing people disnt like was his personality doing a complete u-turn. But that's what happens when you know pretty much everything I guess.
He doesn't know what is coming...
I love Bran too. He's the incel GOAT.
Yes he’s unique alright. So let’s have the most powerful player who can see the past, present, and future not do anything to help win the war, or Westeros. I’m glad he was able to see Jon’s parentage, but evidently that’s all we needed him for.
I feel like I'm really stretching with this stuff but hear me out: it was thought that no one could kill the Night King. Arya trained to become "no one." And the Night King was a necromancer and basically had power over the dead, making him essentially a god of death. And what was Arya always trained to say to the god of death? Not today. I have a lot of issues with what the writers of the show did once they passed the books, but I like the way they actually tied it back to those things, if that was in fact their intent.
I agree, the tactics were very poor. When you have a fortified castle, use it, don't run out into the field, especially into darkness.
Winterfell is a small castle. They have thousands of people....there is no way they would all keep in there. Plus, their objective was to repel the dead until the NK showed himself.
@@GreenFalcon926 Winterfell isn't a small castle but it's not huge at least in the books. Winterfell is supposed to be bigger than the Red Keep but smaller than Harrenhall which is the biggest castle and that's 3x the size of winterfell.
@@dylanrich69 I know, but in the show, it's just an average sized castle. Best they could have done was hold the dead off until the NK showed up. They should have explained it more.
The Dothraki are not trained for defense tactics tho, but for charge. That's just the way they are used to fight for centuries. So it wasn't so stupid, to use them the best way you can use them.
The Dothraki had never lost a battle in the open field in their entire history. That’s why
(Dothraki swords burst into flame)
"That's gonna play a big part in this"
or maybe not ;)
goes for a lot of things :))
Yea, we can’t beat them in a straight fight! So, Jon (who has never won a battle) comes up with the most idiotic plan. Let’s charge them straight on, head to head. Aka. A straight fight. We know Dany didn’t come up with that nonsense but she agreed to it. Agreed to watch her 100,000 Dothraki army die in 10 seconds.
I am DYING at your reaction to when Arya killed the Night King!! This was my exact reaction while watching it hahaha!
Same for myself and my brother. I didn't start looking at reviews until after the show was over and never knew I was "supposed" to be disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Same! I liked this episode! So much was happening, I wasn’t disappointed
I was ok with it I guess. I mean, the dagger we knew was significant and let’s face it, Jon hadn’t really won any battles. I’m surprised they went that route though. It really determined the rest of the show. They couldn’t have Arya kill the NK and Cersei. I mean she did spend the entire series training and learning to use the faces which she never used past S7 E1, and her list since end of S1. So they chose for her to kill the NK instead. Ok. I’m just not sure the payoff was worth death by rubble.
There are only few things which could have made this the greatest GoT episode.
1) we should have seen any type of connection between the Night King and Bran, thus Bran should have played a bigger role in defeating him
2) Jon and Night King faceoff
3) Jon having a big impact on Night King's death
4) White Walkers doing something at least
5) more important deaths (though this was not super neccessary)
If at least 3 of these 5 things had happened, the Long Night would have probably been top 3 greatest battles ever, although it's still great for me
I think its fucked that Bran can obviously see everything. He knew Arya was coming and still sent Theon to get one pumped by the Night King lmao
Bran has to follow the laws of time. That includes Theon dying and Arya defeating the Night King.
Actually that's false, bran can only see the past or the present, but he CANNOT see the future, only howlan reed's son can do that
That camera cut from Sansa and Tyrion behind the wall to Jon coming out of hiding with his sword raised as the Ramin Djawadi music starts playing is cinematic gold. The darkness throughout is obviously frustrating but the shots during the climax are eye pure porn as someone with a little bit of camera experience.
Jon was always destined to yell at a dragon
I remember a viral tweet from before the episode aired that went something like "if you’re seeing Avengers Endgame (came out exactly 3 days before) the first time today and watching the Battle of Winterfell tonight, you’re a certified Grade A Wild Boy. That’s like scheduling your wedding for the day of your father’s funeral." 😂😂😂
Foreshadowing prior to this episode when arya meets jon for first time at winterfell. She sneaks up on him at that tree where she kills night king. Jon asked how how did she sneak up on him. Then she does same thing to night king. Epic
Loved the reaction man, this ep does have it's flaws but it's still one of my favourites.
The shot at the end, with Drogon comforting Dany after Jorah dying speaks a thousand words.
or 1 image xD
I hate when people downplay the flaws. It can be enjoyable for the spectacle, I guess, but that’s mostly was GOT was after season 6. They got rid of clever writing.
Hell, all the military flaws while having some of the best military minds in the world. So many videos have analyzed how braindead their strat was, so please try at least to not put fanboy blinders on
@@dpax2195 I find it strange that just because you don't like something, it means I can't enjoy it? Has nothing to do with being a "fanboy".
I actually thought that they would lose Winterfell and have to escape and then have a three way battle at King's Landing. Guess not. To end the entire white walkers plot so quickly, with no answers about anything related, just seemed wrong.
What answers? We know how they were made and why. Several battles were fought and they finally won.
....... the white walker plot went on for 8 seasons bro. how much longer did you need? what answers did you need? how many battles with them do you need? you had like what? 5?
@@JoshuaDay0550 To drag it on for 8 seasons and then end it after a one night fight, it was too easy. Especially when winter is supposed to last for years and actually be cold and no, they didn't really explain anything lol
@@JoshuaDay0550 We only had 1 battle in Westeross with them. They were destroyed within days of passing through the wall. With how much they've been hyped up since the very first episode, they should've had a much larger part. I was hoping with the scene of the snowflake landing on Jaime's glove that they would make it all the way to King's Landing.
yeah, im never going to agree with you guys, just letting you know. Im glad they did it the way that they did. was some of it cheesy with the close calls? sure. but im not trying to see the walking dead for a season in GoT
29:55 Mormont words “here we stand.”
Ughhhhh, his death *hurts me*
fun fact the night king an jons swords never crossed, jons entire ark all seasons was the white walkers and the night king just for Aya (who btw just heard of him a few eps ago) to kill him
Hated that shit!
@@natedoggg2002 when I watched it the first time I wasn’t relieved like primate I was disappointed
Typical of season 8
Yet Jon only killed one white walker entire series, in S5. What did he do in this episode? Nothing. Dany saved him, again saved by a woman, at ieast 2x
Regarding Melisendre..... I think it was the exertion of the extent of the powers she called forth from the Lord of Light, that caused her to die. I think she knew when she was talking to Ser Davos earlier, that what she was about to do would kill her.
When Dany showed up and started torching the army, my immediate thought wasn’t “thank goodness she’s here”, it was “thank goodness, she brought light!”
RIP all of the original characters that died in this... Theons death actually got me harder than I would have thought.
This is my favorite episode of Game of Thrones. This long battle is so good and well choreographed. I love that they gave that little girl Mormont the kill of a giant. One of the best zombie movies ever!
The next big show will have to top this episode ,facts
@@kendallquillin1334 heck yeah...they got their work cut out for them
I glad you recognised alot of the dumb decisions characters made that made no sense
Bruh your reaction to lady Mormont getting swatted was so funny 😂
Melisandre was just old and pale and had white hair. Great episode, it's just strange how it all ends in 1 episode, and some of the tactical choices are weird, Sending the dathraki out and hiding everyone in a crypt full of dead people. But the music, visuals and Arya was great. Excited to see the final episodes. Hoping Breaking Bad is the next series.
Melisandre served her purpose so she could finally rest.a hero.
The thing that triggers me about the crypt thing is that everything indicates that the dead Starks are going to fight against the Army of the Dead in the books. Besides, George RR Martin is heavily inspired by The Lord of the Rings, where Aragorn convinces an army of cursed ghosts to fight for him. This will be George RR Martin's version of that.
@@baronhomer1 Characters just up and dying because they "served their purpose" is terrible writing. Her death should have had more meaning, like maybe she could offer herself as a sacrifice to turn Longclaw into Lightbringer. Or she could sacrifice herself in the crypts to awaken the dead Starks.
I didn't mind it ending in one episode csuse I knew that's probably what was gonna happen as it was a short series...that was up to HBO. The other alternative was an endless long night with night king on the throne, which sounds edgy, but the more I think about it is meh.
This episode was an experience 🤯 Nice reaction as always 👍
the level of hype i felt when arya swooped in there at the last second..... i was.. STRESSED AND SO HAPPY that it was her. my queen.
So many emotions reliving this episode. I’m pretty vocal of my emotions regarding this season. This episode just made no sense and I could go on for 2 hours about it. But some legit issues are:
1. Our hero Jon did what? didn’t save Or protect Bran, didn’t save Dany (in fact she saved him at least 2-3x), didn’t kill a white walker, didn’t kill the NK, came up with the most idiotic battle plan “we can’t beat them in a straight fight”, so let’s just charge at them….. in a straight fight. Didn’t save anyone. And he didn’t kill the NK. But he did yell at a dragon.
2. Why was Sam on the battlefield? Covered with whites. Crying. Yet somehow Sam lives? Jorah, a skilled swordsman dies fighting. Sam, with no skills except fan fave, causes the death of Ed, runs away, cries on ground, but comes out unscathed.
3. Why was Ghost running out to fight the whites head on? There is no way Ghost makes it out of there. Do we not remember how easily Summer was killed. At least show us some of this heroic and spectacular wolf-fighting so we can wrap our heads around why Ghost is alive at all.
4. Is there some reason why someone with more skills, who had actually won a battle, come up with a battle plan that makes sense? Oh wait, Jaime Lannister! Even Tyrion strategized the battle of Blackwater Bay. Even Dany, a conqueror, has won every battle. How about she help plan it. Anyone?
5. The worst thing about this episode. The entire series we are intimidated and frightened by the NK and the white walkers. Our heroes have Valyrian steel. It kills white walkers. Let’s have all the white walkers slowly walk through the battle and none of our heroes fight them. How do you have an episode with all the white walkers, all our heroes, and no one fights a white walker? What? As a writer, how do you Even think that makes sense?
People who say Arya shouldn't have killed the Night King is so confusing. They literally hinted at that the entire show with saying she shut would blue eyes.
It was too obvious tbh
So things that got CUT AND CHANGED from this episode and other previous episodes.
1) Cersei was supposed to have a miscarriage at the end of Season 7 and this was filmed because the Actress talked about it.
2) We were supposed to see Melisandre visit the Fire Temple in Volantis at the end of Season 7 and she was supposed to recruit a bunch of Fire Priestess/Priests to come with her to Winterfell to help defend it against the Others. Didn't happen.
3) Jon vs the Night King. This was supposed to happen. Infact the Director Miguel said they were going to film it but DnD did that whole Arya bullshit thing and the dude supposedly had a choice of filming at least some sort of fight sequence but they didn't.
4) Arya's Wolf Nymeria was supposed to lead her pack of half bred direwolves to help against the Others and they would have overwhelmed and attacked the Ice Dragon and helped kill it but that got cut too.
5) We were supposed to see Tyrion and Sansa fighting and defending people in the Crypts when the Wrights broke through the tombs (Interesting that the Wright in Season 7 couldn't break through a wooded fucking box but these old hundreds of year old corpses could break the hard ass tombstones.) This scene was filmed but cut.
6) Jorah originally didn't die and was supposed to survive the battle of Winterfell but fuck it. They changed it last minute and had him die.
Now people will say "Oh, its because of budget. They couldn't do all of that.", except NO. HBO was willinging to give DnD all the money in the world to them to make the best episodes ever and they fucking declined and went for their cheap ass excuse of subverting expectations. Having Arya killing the Night King is like having fucking Seamus from Harry Potter kill Voldemort. Someone who had nothing whatsoever to do with that main plot. I hate this season so much. So much lost potential.
What the fuck was the point of the Spiral? What was the Night King's true goal? We finally have him and Bran face off and nothing. Just a silent mute scum ass tit with nothing to say. Jon who was set up to fight and kill his long seasons enemy ends up just screaming at a bloody dragon while Arya who doesn't even use any of her face abilties this season somehow manages to evade hordes of undead and the White Walkers and jump like spider-man all the way to the Night King to deliver a killing blow move that was stolen from the bloody Abraham Lincole Vampire Hunter movie shot by shot.
The only great thing about this entire episode is the NIGHT KING SOUNDTRACK which is probably the best track in the entire series and its wasted on a piece of shit end for a villain that never amounted to nothing especially when you consider this character doesn't even actually exist in the books and was made up for the show so DnD didn't have to come up with any complicated bullshit to actually explain why the White Walkers suddenly decided to invade and kill the living.
The biggest piss take is that many of us assumed this was not the end. That there would be a twist and that the White Walker story wouldn't just end like this and that'd there be more to it with the remaining three episodes but alas. This was it. What comes next is a bunch of stupidity and retcons and character assassinations that single handly ruins everything that made the show interesting and great to begin with.
1) Ah, the Cersei miscarriage. Why have a moral dilemma on Cersei's life, when with the miscariagge she can go right back to being a cackling villain you can dispatch in the most brutal way possible?
2) Ah, we have enough time to go all the way to frikkin' Volantis? Why not also recruit Qarth to help while we're at it. Weren't you guys all up in arms about the whole 'teleport travelling' thing? Seems like it doesn't bother you when inane cr*p is supposed to happen.
3) Jon vs the Night King? And mind you, how do you imagine a prolongued sword duel between Jon and a supernatural being that is lightning fast and can snap spears like twigs? Maybe we can have Bran have Jon be revealed to be Azor Ahai and can have a column of light enter him or something. You only seem to complain of lack of realism when you want Sam to be killed.
4) Arya's Nymeria? You mean the Nymeria that no longer recognizes Arya? And why not? Because Arya's soul is still corrupted. I won't reveal anything further.
5) Tyrion and Sansa fighting? Now there is a sword duel for the ages. We can have one of those scenes where the hapless incompetent at fighting all of a sudden slaughters dozens of zombie soldiers.
6) Ah, Jorah not dying. Wouldn't have that been something. Why have him die in the crying arms of Dany when we could have had him do LITERALLY NOTHING until the end of the show? Now wouldn't have that been something.
To sum up, I'm glad none of this was implemented. Undoubtedly there was a lot of pressure to make GOT more 'fanboy friendly' but I'm glad the showrunners stuck to their guns.
'Having Arya killing the Night King is like having fucking Seamus from Harry Potter kill Voldemort.'
Oh, yes, Arya whose literally entire storyline evolves around DEATH and how to beat it. Seeing her father killed, then half her family, being a master of three deaths, then learning how to fend for oneself in a cruel world, then joining a literal DEATH CULT to acquire skills no one has. How preposterous of her to kill the NK.
'What the fuck was the point of the Spiral?'
Which other character have you seen surrounded by a spiral, not just once but multiple times? A spiral is an attractor, a habringer of chaos.
'What was the Night King's true goal?'
To destroy humanity. The metaphor isn't even subtle. Destroy humanity's knowledge and wisdom and humanity will plunge into chaos. We already see it happening today on the world stage.
'Jon who was set up to fight and kill his long seasons enemy ends up just screaming at a bloody dragon'
You mean giving up and being ready to die at that moment in an apparent sign of having lost all hope? How unsurprising that you don't see any value in this.
' Arya who doesn't even use any of her face abilties'
What are masks a symbol of? Inhumanity.
'somehow manages to evade hordes of undead and the White Walkers and jump like spider-man all the way to the Night King'
It seems very interesting that in a world inhabited by dragons and ice zombies that it is some sort of a problem to your that Arya has acquired supernatural abilities in terms of speed and stealth, given that she has sneaked past people countless times in the show and has practiced the skill ever since Season 1!
'What comes next is a bunch of stupidity and retcons and character assassinations that single handly ruins everything that made the show interesting and great to begin with.'
Hahaha! You totally don't get the point of the show it's not even funny.
@@SerbAtheist The point is that there was no intentionality behind the choices - D&D have pretty much said they did half the shit they did to subvert expectations. If that is your primary aim in storytelling, you are doing it wrong.
@@erinn1234 No intentionality? What tosh! Let's just look at this episode, to say nothing of what follows. How about Arya killing the NK? In Season 1, Arya's first practice is trying to sneak up on a black cat, which as we all know symbolises sunshine and rainbows. Then, the famous sentence ''What do we say to the God of Death? Not today.'' Or how about Theon's speech in S2? ''We die today, brothers! We die bleeding from a hundred wounds, with arrows in our necks and spears in our guts! But our war cries will echo through eternity. They will sing about the Battle of Winterfell until the Iron Islands have slipped beneath the waves.'' Sound familiar?
I don't have much patience for indignant a-holes who spend their time taking apart what D&D said in a sole purpose to discredit them.
@@SerbAtheist you can retroactively look back for things to support your theory that it was hinted at - but the directors straight up admit they changed it at the last minute in several interviews expressly for the purpose of surprising people.
"You betrayed me from the first" - but Ser Jorah protected his Queen until his last breath. He was with her until the last.
"You are Reek until you're rotting in the ground." - Theon proved he was more than Reek, he was a good man who found redemption and protected his "home' and his "brother" until the end. He was a Greyjoy and a Stark.
What an amazing arc these two had.
Theon has to be up there with the best character arcs of anyone.
no "" needed in *home*
that was his home
This episode was like being dragged through a dark and horrendous nightmare by the plums. Such a draining and dramatic hour of Television
it should have been Jon
that's what it was building up to be from the start
and then he was put aside like an extra almost
we can't even think a lot about how Arya got the night king cause it just doesn't make sense
This is an incredible epic episode
The Red Witch wasn’t connected the Knight King she exhausted all her power and that was her final act
I understand certain complaints about this episode. But the whole thing kept me at such a high level of stress throughout in a way only something masterfully crafted could. I’m glad you enjoyed this viscerally instead of complaining about the details.
From Jons point of view, he killed a dragon by screaming at it…
25:41 - When we say S8 doesn't make any sense, moments like this one explain why
"She decides to f****** sit there like some kind of c***-salad staring into the distance for no f****** reason at all" XD
“How did Aria get there?” Bitch, she’s a ninja assassin, case closed.
Ninga don't have teleport powers. Shitty writing, case closed.
Саша Черняк she’s a ninja assassin that knows every square inch of Winterfell, and could easily sneak to where she ended up, flying out of the shadows for the kill, shitty imagination, case closed.
Arya getting to the night king is not so unbelievable to me because she is supossed to be ridicuously light on her feet, she is constantly sneaking up on people. Its GoT, there are dragons and ice zombies
It was awesome reliving the experience of GoT with you, been watching from the beginning. Definitely watch Breaking Bad next 👍🏻
My boy, you can't heart this and then not do it ok? :D It's with a huuuuge distance the show I want people the most to experience. Like, you don't know what feelings I have for that show, but you will, you will and you're gonna 100% understand and agree :D
My thoughts exactly! Breaking Brad ist a must see. BB and GOT are the best tv shows I’ve ever seen!!! I really hope BB is next 🙏🙏🙏
Agree. Breaking Bad is the best show ever. And one of the few that gets better every season.
He did a few episodes of Breaking Bad but deleted them shortly after.
@@synystershadows5989 probably copyright issues.
I for one was glad it was dark because it made it all feel more real
6:25 i never noticed ghost flinching as the arakhs went up in flames. Best part of season 8.
Not him talking through and cutting the most emotional scenes
Not a fan of the episode, but honestly, I think Theon is one of the few characters in the show with a satisfying conclusion for his arc. He died protecting his real family.
We can never just forget about our girl Arya stark I mean damn
Theon is the only reason I even clicked on this video. I don't want to go through most of the other stuff again.
I think Jorah's conclusion was satisfying as well. It was sad, but his arc was pretty complete by that point and he died defending Daenerys.
I thought most characters got what was coming to them even if it's not what the fans wanted for them.
I was laughing and crying at the Arya/night king scene! The music was superb.
RIP Ser Jorah and BA Lady Mormont!
The music was so good in this episode.
I think I might be the only person who liked the lighting of the episode. The visual darkness coupled with the chaos created by the quick cuts allowed viewers to feel as distressed as the characters themselves. In my opinion, the anxiety the showrunners were able to elicit with this style of filming made the battle far more immersive than it would've otherwise been.
Oh, some folks forgot that Arya was trained to be an assassin by Jaqen H'ghar. Of course she can sneak past some White Walkers in the dark.
I liked the lighting aswell fit the episode perfectly made it feel dark and hopeless and resulted in the whites being being more scary.
Plus when fire lit up the screen it was way more impactful in my opinion.
I like the lighting once I got to see it on a better screen.
I loved it. Because I watched Game of Thrones in the dark.
- Is it all the Dothraki they had?
- All of our fighters are probably hurt af and we're probably down to no supplies.
D&D: Well, yes, but actually no.
The world stood still when this episode aired.
This was GoT delivering on a decades worth of hype. The way things are now, I don't know if there will ever be another TV episode that so much of the country watches at the same time. The final MASH is the only thing I can think of that rose to this level
I promise I’m not complaining, I’m just curious. You skipped the whole Arya/library scene. Did you not dig it? To each his own, but I love that scene. So quiet, so tense, so well shot, so well acted.
Goddamn this guy can talk. Especially through some big moments.
I’ve seen so many series.. no series gave me chills the way this episode did… I mean I was nervous from the beginning to the end, it was close to give me a heart attack.. the soundtrack, the shots, the acting, the darkside of it.. Oh man everything about this episode is AMAZING
True. One of my favorite episodes of all time. 😍
You’re right to be angry/confused about some of their strategic choices in this battle. A shit ton of military leaders gathered together in this grand army, yet they make a lot of dumbass choices, lol.
In the concept art of the show, it shows Arya climbing the roof tops to get the Night King. I feel like if more of the people who hated the show had seen that stuff or at least went and looked for stuff about the show, they wouldn't hate it so much 😂😂
"What we are seeing right now is basically the end of the Dothraki"
"Well, Dany kinda forgot about the Iron Fleet"
- stuff about the show
The godswood is very large. No human even those from westeros can jump for that long distance. Plus there's a bunch of nightking bodyguard, how did she get past all those white walkers
@@cyandamadlala9610 she was in the trees and they didn't see her. I watched the show that had the concept art of what they saw and that was what someone drew.
The moments i realized that we would never see the 8 season buildup to Jon vs The Night King fight is when the entire show collapsed for me
my dude .. i have been waiting for you to react to this episode for so long and im so happy it's finally here. although not a lot of people liked season 8, this episode blew my mind
People didn’t really care for the second half of this season.
43:40 Yeah the episode gave me mad anxiety aswell and a headache from yelling lol. It's one of those episode where you need a day to recover from lol.
Like you said that's when you know a TV show is good when your feel those kind of emotions.
Winter is coming!!
Children will born and die in the darkness...
You are the prince that was promised!!
What a joke ....
you cant let the white walkers first move be in the castle or attacking the castle. you have to antagonize the other army before they reach the castle and the fire from melisandre helped because they cant be resurrected.
Well at least we know that you are going to love it now. Whatever stupid shit happens you are just going to say Whatever and honestly more power to you man.
Salt 🧂
you should watch the videos breaking down how pathetic and horrible their strategies were. Didn't even use the castle hardly, had the trebuchets in front of their army, not a lot of logic there. although I do think the episode is over hated and it was fun to watch the first time.
6:35 The swords lighting up was such a cool shot.
What was cool about when this episode premiered was that night drake was at an award show and shouted out arya for taking out tie nigjt king when he was accepting his award.
feedback: why do people reacting assume that their duty is to predict what is going to happened and then go mad when it doesn't happen? This type of video reaction requires the reactor "reacting". The goal is reacting. The goal is not "talking as much as possible, on every second, talking over dialogues that are important, criticizing the show, etc".
The Night King is not a Targaryen. He was created with magic by The Children. Nobody knew exactly what powers he had.
The objective of a dark episode was for the audience to pay extra attention, to be surprise by things coming from the dark, to be part of the show.
Arya’s dancing master taught her to say she’s going left but go right instead. He also taught her to be swift and silent. The Hound taught her where the heart is. No One taught her how to fight in the dark. The red witch told her she’d shut many eyes forever. Arya’s always wanted to be a fighter, and loved her family more than anything else. I love her killing the night king
Nah fam this Arya went all Flash. Lol shit writing shit episode
In defense of Arya she killed the Night King in the same are she snuck up on John like and episode before. It's her home and she knew how and we're to go. I liked it.
When they fly close to the White Walkers they created a storm 😂😂😂😂😂
What's painful to me is just that- They make it a point to show you them around a table strategizing and preparing...and then their defense and military preparation is just stupid nonsense....WHO in their right mind does this! You have a castle and walls and you place your army in front to be overrun, and charge cavalry head on into zombies, dig ONE fucking trench instead of dozens to reduce their charge and don't even place it in front of your men but behind them......, have one basic layer of defense and all of your artillery piece are ahead of your men so they are the first to go like cmon You don't have to be a military genius but they really dropped to ball...If that was the most intelligent plan they could have come up with all these brains in the room i'm not impressed.....I am fully aware the goal is to attract the night king and not to just kill all the wights but should we discuss how much more effective ALL of the unsullied would have been guarding the wall and force all the wights to climb the walls to do anything all while dragon fire strife and artillery is firing down and trenches are slowing them down, you would have mitigated 80% of your losses
Arya was already there, before the NK showed up. Once the Red Witch inspired her with the "God of Death" hype Arya went to where she knew the NK had to go...to Bran. She hid within that area, watch Theyon defend Bran and die and came out when the NK was least expecting it as he was slow moving and savoring his victory. It was great and we didn't need to see yet another routine sword fight with Jon plus the NK didn't care about Jon the way Jon cared about the NK. Jon was just a bug on his kitchen floor so no need to stoop to his level and fight his way when he had more powers. The NK's end was rushed like everything else in s7 & 8 but otherwise perfect. Love the reacts Primate!!
11:18 it's cool that reactors are remembering little details like this
When I first watched this I was in distress! Literally riddled with anxiety, especially at the end. In my heart I like to consider this the last episode lol
Pretty much.
This episode is a perfect example of why Arya is one of the BEST characters EVER
33:20 The Red Women had basically used up all her strenght and magic that was keeping her alive.
It's more likely that the Night King was a Stark as the children of the forest made the Whites as a result of their war with the first men who were there long before the Targaryens.
The Night King was originally one of the First Men before he had been turned.
It’s kinda sad that it wasn’t Jon that killed the night king because it’s been set up for a long time since szn 4 but definitely RIP to Jorah Mormont 🙏🏾
Not really. Kinda set it up with Arya. Saw her pull that knife trick on Brienne. They just set it up like Jon would be King.

Primate: 0:06
I’ve been waiting since forever for you to get to this episode!!🤩 I’m glad you’re liking season 8!✨
Best episode screw the fan boys crying about the lighting
@@dabbadoo2226 this episode is really bad sorry. Braindead tactics, plotarmor everywhere and night king dies without any real consequences.
@@fuglesangcinematicuniverse8716 awww poor fan boy didn’t have the story go as he wanted it to 😢sorry this seems like a big void in your life hope you get the help you need to get through it
The more you know. I laughed so hard.
I'm not much of a battle aficionado. Don't really care for the strategies and tactics of medieval siege battles and all the technical stuff that could've been done better. Particularly in a battle with undead zombies. Plus I'm certainly very mindful of plotholes or theories that weren't paid off, like the Azor Ahoi Lightbringer angle, which was a gaffe. But from a purely sentimental perspective, this episode had me hook line and sinker. I'm more than lenient towards technical errors when a journey can get me this impassioned. Hats off to Alfie Allen, the range of acting he showed playing Theon is unbelievable. The music is enchanting. Ramin Djawadi's score is chef's kiss. The ambience of "the Night King slow walking through the wintery forest with the red hue of the Weirwood tree contrasting the blue hour twilight sky" is everything I had always imagined.
Dant’s brother would not have died if Targaryens were all fireproof, they aren’t.
I don't care how many things were flawed and unresolved in this episode, I enjoyed the hell out of it🤷♂️. The whole thing was a mental turbulence from beginning to end. The "blue eyes" scene, the Theon sendoff, all of em got my palms sweaty and shit the whole time. That heart wrenching feeling I got watching it is all that matters to me for an episode like this. I can care less about anything else, including white walkers being the last threat. I had no isses with the throne being the final frontier over ice zombies.
I know i’m hella late but I feel like this is worth sharing:
I accidentally watched Primate’s entire GOT playlist when i fell asleep, and now that I’m here watching the reaction wide awake I am stunned I didn’t wake up at that hype from when Arya killed the Night King.
GoT only really mentioned Lightbringer once. During Stannis' introduction. It was never mentioned again in the present tense. I'm sure that's what's gonna happen in the book but the show itself never hinted anything even in the ballpark of only Lightbringer killing Night King. Arya changes her face. I'm not gonna waste brain cells pretending to be baffled by how she got there. How did Jaquen kill all those Lannister guards? If anything I commend them for the restraint they show by ending her revenge tour right here when they could've gone with the easiest disney fanservice afterwards. But of course everyone get furious about that too. It was said Drogo had forty thousand riders in his Khalesar. Even assuming that's exaggerated & included women & children, every Dothraki Khalesar put together would easily have close to a hundred thousand riders if not more. No wonder they were still around later. Cersei purchased twenty thousand Golden Company sellswords. The Lannisters armies were depleted by now. Together they wouldn't amount to half of Dany's army. Dany could afford to lose a lot and still field a signficant number. Personally I always cared about the throne more than the Walkers. I'm just glad that Night King got taken out as the last thing I wanted was a "Night King in 5" meta blackpill ending.
The long night 😂😂 more like the short evening. How are the wights so feared if you can have about 20 piled on top of you and most of the characters walk away without a scratch on them 😂🤣
And thus ends the one-episode-Long Night
18:45 This shot is so cool having John just be flying above in the fog ans the blue fire coming out of nowhere.
I haven't even watched it yet but I know he is going to love it. He is the love everything dude. Even if he didn't love some things, he will make an excuse to disregard it and overlook it and love it anyways. It's his mantra.
Certainly better than hating everthing and sucking the joy out of watching shows with inane pedantry.
Honestly I've come to appreciate this way more after years of seeing all the alternatives that the 200 IQ brainiacs have come up with that they so confidently think are so much better, but in reality their solutions are worse than the problems. This is sad and beautiful. If this episode belonged to another show, there's zero question in my mind that people would be praising it. But at least it's nice to you're hella absorbed in the episode. This is what happens when you're watching without any preconceived notions. That's how millions of casual viewers reacted. That's how I see most new reactors react when they go into it without any idea about all the online fandom negativity.
There are so many problems with this episode, but honestly the problems of this episode don't even fucking come close to how bad season 8 was in general, we got some bad episodes in season 7, but I never knew season 8 would be entirely trash.
The White Walkers themselves are immune to fire, probably has nothing to do with any bloodline from when they were human. We saw that in "The Door" when the Children of the Forest set that fire around the cave entrance, the Wights couldn't get through but the Walkers just walked right through like it was nothing.
If I have one retrospective criticism of this episode is: Good war tactics was sacrificed for essentially what was "cinematic" shit. Like, what was the sense of sending the Dothraki out into that huge army, sure they got their swords on fire but they literally got wiped the fuck out super easily. You don't send dudes out on their horses charging into the darkness. There should have been archers up on that wall raining fire on them down to the last shot, don't even need dragonglass-tipped arrows, just fire arrows. But dragonglass arrows would be for the White Walkers. Just find your best archers to be like "yo be on the lookout for these motherfuckers", and it would have been cool to see a scene of a Walker getting taken out and like a group of Wights falling in mid-battle. Hell, that part where Melissande set that front part on fire, where were the archers there? As they were having a stare-down at the Wights just looking dumb. Arrow those bitches, throw burning pitch at them or something. They showed in the prior episode they had these logs hanging from the walls of Winterfell that were embedded with dragonglass, but that shit was never used. Show a scene of someone dropping them shit and bowling over the Wights.
But, all that probably would have made the episode feel more hopeful, that shit wasn't dire and hopeless till the end. If they used proper tactics, so many wights would have been demolished easily. They wanted the episode to look like it was all turning to shit. And honestly, there should have been more main character deaths. Sam was literally covered in wights but he survived? What? And, you KNOW that NIght King can raise the dead, why the fuck would you put the vulnerable people down in the crypts? I get it, there was no where to put them. But give everyone down there a dagger of dragonglass at least just in case their ancestors got the fuck up, like they did.
But yes, the biggest complaint is yes, the episode was too damn dark lol.
The most painful death for me to watch was Theon.. poor baby came so far had some of the best character development & deserved so much more. I’m just glad he died knowing he was a good man and was forgiven 💜 & honestly Jorah dying just made me ship him and Dany. The whole show I didn’t ship them until this episode now looking back I’m like ugh I wish she felt the same way for him , he would’ve treated her so well 😩
Game of thrones is not about what you deserve, but about what the world deserves from you.
I swear Theon makes me tear up the whole time! At oeast he cane full circle!
Jorah deserves better than Daenerys
"OH its the red bitch... I mean red witch... I mean Melisandre" 🤣
8:23 It's dark on purpose. It's not an issue of a lighting mistake. It's supposed to be disorienting. But all the other scenes are lit perfectly fine. I never had to change the settings on my TV when I watched this episode on Blu-Ray, and it was just the standard settings for my TV.
Bro what are you talking about?I still don't know what happened in that episode like it was almost black
True. Also it helps a lot to switch off all lights whilst watching….and makes it even more intense
It never phased me at all when i watched it for the first time either. When people jack up the brightness on this episode is when it doesn't look right to me. It looked like I thought it should look. But the 4k blu-ray eliminates most of the black crush that makes dark scenes look horrible with compression. Most people today watch shows on some shitty streaming service and expect it to look amazing.
Never knew fanboys were crying about it till the day after the episode came out lighting never bothered me thought it added to the whole battle loved it
@@ms6394 Settings might have been off on your TV? Otherwise any disorientation with the fight was clearly intended on the editing/cinematography side. The hectic madness of the undead swarming over everyone was intentional in my eyes. Add the intensity of the music and my heart was racing.
Where are we safe from the Undead? "Let's hide in the crypt with all the dead bodies!" I see the writers have started their journey down the avalanche of forgetful writing . . . 😞 All those great military minds in Winterfell and the best use of the light cavalry is to hurl them at a wall of infantry who Do. Not. Break. I'll be quiet now 🙂
I'm pretty sure that the way they took it was that the undead that would come back had to be touched by the night king so they had no idea that the dead in the crypts would come back.
@@smokeem15 But the Night King didn't touch all the dead at Hardhome and Jon saw that.
Arya killed the night King with the dagger drop and catch she had practised before which I loved.
