It always struck me as a pretty glaring oversight to hand an army of 8000 special forces slaves over to a complete stranger with dragons
Aiswarya Venugopal I think he means that it was inevitable she would betray him because she had 8000 soldiers and 2 dragons
@@kevinzhang993
Yep, precisely
@Aiswarya Venugopal
True, but she still had 2 Dragons left (after the supposed deal), and now she had all the Unsullied as well, so who's to say she wouldn't turn on him right afterwards? Which she inevitably did.
He was planning on selling them anyway to anyone with the highest bid. I believe a dragon is worth more than any gold. He probably figured he could always just make another army but he can't make another dragon.
Realistically tho, could he tell her no with her 3 dragons and a good amount of soldiers 💀 she could just send them over the wall
It never made sense to me why you would castrate a soldier, you want the testosterone for muscle building/repair and aggression in combat
That's probably one of the few differences between an Unsullied and a Marine.
The testosterone comes from the balls, not the dick.
Veng Ven correct... which is why castration removes the testicles (maybe actually know literally the most basic shit before correcting somebody, hell in the show they literally say that they’ve cut off their balls about 50 times)
I believe they also cut off their dicks, since I remember one episode where this guy keeps saying "not without dick you won't". When asked if they where fighting for their family or something
Well they didn’t know that back then
A TV show that has dragons, zombies and shape shifters. People are commenting on unrealistic testosterone levels.
This is one of the worst points of criticism of fantasy shows
Those three things you have mentioned are well established in the universe, and have their own explanations that make sense in-universe
Besides, in the book the testosterone levels were already addressed. The Unsullied are smaller and less muscular than average men, so your point is moot
You know nothing shark wolf
Facts😂
Not to mention dragons have 4 legs 2 wings
Is it me or does it seem that the usullied were inspired by the spartans
These guys reminded me of Spartans when I first saw them.
BAREfootMARK reminded me of the jannissiers from the Ottoman Empire
Go go power rangers
@@succ4171nice
George R. R. Martin often takes his stories from history. The unsullied are a blend of Greek Spartan Soldiers and Egyptian Mamluks.
Unsullied reminded me of Mamluk slave soldiers who were Turks from Central Asia, used in Egypt and India
The Unsullied are my favorite soldiers from Game of Thrones, their armor, their combat, and their tactics.
It’s a shame they’re pretty much all dead now :)
Cooler It’s a shame that they were useless against all of the enemies they faced on the show lol, macedonian phalanx was unbreakable if the rears were guarded. In got they die trapped against their own trench lmao
@@Numbuu I'm sure they're not all dead, you'd be surprise what many shows do.
@@Numbuu and why are you smiling?
@@franzaltzman2668 they were ot useless remember more than 2000 were not yet blooded and not completed their training yet, was unfortunate about the trenches but they were severely out numbered with spears and little space,not much you could do,Not very bright are you
castrated and yet ripped and muscle bound? i guess Mr Martin skipped biology class....
Sleepy .Time why?
Sleepy .Time can't a castrated person be ripped? It just a question don't roast me please XD
The Lone Hunter I dunno if that's possible. The balls produce hormones and testosterone, that's how men are generally larger and stronger than women. Without those, muscles can't grow as large. It's like a woman trying to get big (without added steroids or testosterone). Not possible to match men. Far as I know.
@Lone Hunter - No, its a honest question. I grew up on cattle ranch and the difference between a bull and a steer (steers being male cows who have been castrated) is remarkable. You cant tell a steer's body structure from a cow's while as i am sure you know a bull is a mountain of muscle. Same applies to humans to a lesser degree. Eunuchs will look and talk like a oversized twelve year old.
a crusty krab but maybe it might be a little feasible? cuz they're have been weird instances in which some women developed a lot of muscle for some reason even though they don't have balls.
I drew similarities between the Spartans of Sparta and the Unsullied. The Spartan trained in tight formation and trained in phalanx tactics and were feared and admired by their neighbors, minus he castrations. Spartan boys were given a single pair clothing to wear and care for and were expected to steal food for their survival. The Spartan Agoge was brutal and very few boys survived this training and the Spartans worship the God of War Ares.
Rest in peace the Unsullied...
except for greyworm who is infront of the line
I think there are 25% left and the other 75% were killed
Rip Dothraki
@@yeahimethan5968 Best tactic to charge an army of undead with light armored cavalry
@@perun3706 even better that they did it with their best units
It’s criminal what they did to the last season. Completely ruined the whole series imo. All those years of watching. The build up, the anticipation, and they served us a steaming turd on a thin paper plate.
They can also replicate when the plot commands it!
Exactly 🤣
I think the only reason The Unsullied and dothraki were defeated so "easily" last episode was because they were just swormed by the dead in a scene you saw that the unsullied held them back but because there were so many walkers they stacked over each other
They Dothraki and The Unsullied were killed off because their tacticts during the battle of winterfell lmao, the Dothraki were the best units and they used them all up, thats why they were oblitered
Nice job! Hope you cover more GoT topics. With the show ending, there’s a lot left to discover.
This is helping me complete my homework, thanks dude.
What the hell kind of homework could you possibly have been doing??
Evil Empire He Make Joke.
Castrating them was a mistake, Spartans didn’t and they did just fine, in fact, their phalnaxes were likely even stronger due to being more developed than the unsullied, muscle goes a long way in a phalanx
How about you do the Dragonborn explained cuz Skyrim is awesome
Sure! adding it to the list now :)
FilmComicsExplained hurray
DOVAKIIN! DOVAKIIN!
Never watched an episode, but now I want to
Ran Marsh your missing out.
Ran Marsh me too. I going to today.
Ran Marsh you should watch it, its amazing
Be prepared to miss out with time with any loved ones for few days because you’re gonna be OBSESSED.
Commit to one season, you'll get hooked by then, and it only gets better from there. Amazing show, I started watching when season 7 was airing. Now I can't wait for season 8.
Big problem with this is if their castrated before puberty, which is highly implied , they should all look androgynous, skinny and have castrato levels of voice. They also can't he ripped either, as that requires testosterone, which they have female levels of if castrated. Good video however!
they should do a comic where Richard b Riddick goes against yautja predator
Thanks for putting this together. This group seems so one-dimensional considering the rest of the story. We just don’t seem to know what to do with the topics of slavery as it relates to individuals and love and childhood and possibly for a moment being afraid.
One of the most unrealistic scenes is when the Unsullied fight the masters/slavers with some difficulty. So these spartan super soldiers against some upper class merchant types who have probably never fought in their life? Rich kids would get wrecked!!
Short sword combat literally uses spears all fight scene
SleepLess
Never understood this when watching the show-especially fighting the Sons of the Harpy, who only use close quarters knives 😑
@@laserlogo2653 Yeah, I always thought I'd feel a bit unsafe using such long spears in that situation. They should have brought short spears and short swords. A lot fewer of them would have been killed.
Amazing video as always, would love to see more Game Of Thrones content from you!
Good shit, also do one on the blood of yharnam from bloodborne
yep its on the list :)
The spear armed unsullied have proved to be very ineffective against wights and in sieges.
These guys are supposed to be the equivalent of Spartans (the movie version) yet they get killed off one by one like they're common sellswords.
It’s almost like the unsullied are the game of thrones version of a space Marine with only castration being the separating factor
Well theres basically none of them left now
Mikey Collins No, look the preview of the episod 4
@@gguuii00 as many as the plot requires. I doubt 5% of the soldiers are left though
Half...
Thanks for the video. I now see that the Unsullied are not necessarily superior to the Dorthraki. With a city wall at their back in their famed victory, the Unsullied could not be outflanked and had the advantage of covering fire by archers/crossbowmen from the wall. The reason why we hear only of the one great victory in hundreds and hundreds of years is that an Unsullied contingent (armed with spear and swords) would normally be overwhelmed in the open field by a Dorthraki horde, who would be more mobile and have horse archers.
NOW THIS WAS FREKING GREAT, THANK U MY BROTHER!!!

@@nkja8615 Agreed. 😎 Ben Dover, meet my friends: Ann Dletme and Fu Q.
Woukd honestly love to see the unsullied fight spartans
Will you be doing the creature the kothoga from the movie The Relic?
The Unsullied are like the Greek Spartans in the series.
Where are the other Unsullies?
The ones sold previously
Their protection to the Winterfell was awesome ❤️
You should take a look at the "Brethren Moons": the answer to the Fermi Paradox, absolute predators of the galaxy, reaping all life, leaving nothing but "Dead Space" behind.
Every time he said the unsullied had to do something All I thought was grey worm
Descended from the famous Ghiscari Lockstep Legions that fought bravely against the invading Valyrians.
Explain the Rhino from James and the Giant Peach plz
sure will add it to the list now :)
Wow, some of those who were trained since a child are lucky to be alive in their first battle.
Id love to see a battle between 1,000 of these guys and 1,000 Spartan's
awesome man !!..your channel kicks ass..keep up the good work !!....hope your numbers are climbing ..your channel is gaining popularity .i'm sure you'll be at quarter million subscribers before new years .
“One of the cool techniques...” interesting choice of words
Awesome overview - glad you used the book lore and not the show as a basis. Too bad the show ruined the troop by making them feel pain and never use short swords, which made them look weird when fighting in small spaces. Ser Barristan and a group of Unsullied were killed in an alleyway by some nerds with kitchen knives because the Unsullied only had spears (well, because the director/producers are stupid, really).
Like literally there’s been a bunch of times In the series I’m like if they used the spartan shield strategy that would have never happened to them
Wow.. Another great video dudes! I have to say, I again learned so much about an element of GOT; for one, I didn't know about that wine - very interesting.
Changing gears a little bit here, this just drives home the genius and masterpiece quality of the whole GOT universe/franchise, etc. It really is a masterpiece among the artwork of earth, if I may be so bold.
Thanks for the video, can’t wait for the remaining books to maybe learn more
As always, another awesome video! Keep em coming!
another great video man unsullied are beast
The history of Eunuchs shows that many were very twisted and couldn't be trusted. Palace Eunichs destroyed more than one Chinese Emperor. I doubt these guys will survive (or at least most won't) the battles with the Night King.
Wow I've been watching this channel recently and out of everything you've done, you still haven't done a The Blob (1988) Explored/Explained?
We need a video on this ASAP!
You should do the white walkers. Love your videos!!
Ty this will certainty help with my exams in the weeks to come...
good luck in your exam mate :)
I get hyped every time I hear his intro
Thought you might get excited with the news that Neil Blomkamp will be directing ROBOCOP RETURNS, set from the original Robocop movie of 1987. Alongside Neil, both the original writers of the first Robocop movie will be producing the new movie. This has been great news to hear and cannot wait for it's development!
Another great video. Keep up the good work!
Thanks mate :)
Ser Davos named the unsullied their own free and proud house...but he also doomed the unsullied house to one generation ever.
The Navi from avatar please
You are the best!!! I am starting to believe The Engineers are real & you might be one of them......
So technically they are the spartans of game of thrones
Hey, maybe try the Vasari, Advent, or TEC from the Sins of a Solar Empire series. Not the largest amount of exposure but still a neat assortment of factions.
A few videos on Ninja Scroll and Lord Gemma and the other 8 Devils would be awesome.
He who stares deeply into the Abyss, will find comfort in its presence as it swallows your will. To reflect that which is the Abyss, humanity.
You should do the chimera from Resistance Fall of Men series. There’s a virus and different types of aliens in the game and I think it would be an awesome topic to explain
could you ever check out the chimera from the resistance games on ps3?
the abbys haha would love this
This was so cool to learn. Thank you!
seems to me George Martin was inspired from the history of the Mameluke's and Janissary
Agreed. Mamluk in arabic is slave, literally. Janissaries had it rough. Only a free man fights for what is his. No slave army has ever prospered.
@@jacobberry5138 those slaves end up Ruling Egypt and Syria they weren't ordinary slaves and they had different treatment
Next you should the pieces of eden from assassins creed
Can’t wait to see them in action at kings landing, the knights won’t know what hit them
You should make a video on the creation of the Space Marines and their Legions from Warhammer 40k
These soldiers remind me of the Spartan 2s from Halo. They we're kidnapped (basically enslaved) and trained from childhood, given new identities, and some other similarities
Well done, as always 👍
With the series over and the unsullied moving to the island of Naath, it's obvious that they are going to protect its people from slavers but they can't live forever, nor can they father children to carry on that role. They would likely teach the people of Naath how to fight to protect themselves. Be interesting if the people of Naath evolve into a warrior culture and after a few generations become the source of the best soldiers in Essos.
Great video!
havent watched a minute of GoT....and never will
Your loss
Unsullied vs phase one clone troopers? What do you reckon?
Can you explain what exactly is the "Old power". Used in the Planet Hulk and World war Hulk storylines.
I have no clue, but it was strong enough to almost kill Galactus.
Hey!
I have a interesting suggestion to maybe cover, old favourite TV show of mine Primeval about the anomaly's and Future Predators which to me were such a unique creature!
Great vid as always man and also can you do a video on singularity it’s a game you probably never heard of but it’s a good one.
sure will add that to the list now :)
They were basically Spartans in game of thrones
Awesome video
Liked!!
Is it possible if you could do How It Ends explored? How it ends is a movie from Netflix. It’s really good, and it ends with a cliffhanger
I don’t get how eunuchs could possibly make good soldiers. testosterone is probably the primary hormone that offers a tangible advantage in hand to hand combat.
P Cole no
Hey man can you make a video on shutter island it’s such a good movie
How can I get the theme from dead space but just the the part that u use to make this great and intriguing video make ur videos more intense to watch please I just want this theme u use on this viedo?
What happened to the Dead Island Virus? I got the notification, and the video was unavailable.☹️
I wonder if George R. R. Martin took Inspiration from the Spartans of Ancient Greece for the Unsullied. Because didn't they mostly use Shield and Spears for their Choice of Weapon?
love game of thrones
A video about the Manhunt games would be cool to see.
Think you could explain the asteroid from Maximum Overdrive in as best detail as you can?
Hey I just finished got again
Finally you do game of thrones 🙏🙏🙏😘
Hey I have a vid suggestion,I know you don’t do games a lot but can you do Tenno from warframe?
Castration is more effective of a war tactic than I thought
Could you make a video talking about vault tec from fallout? Im sure it will be a great topic.
can you do a stannis the one true king Explained
Stannis is not the one true king. Not even close. Really in terms of claim to the throne. It's 1.Jon Snow 2.Dani 3.Gendry 4.Stannis
I love your videos! But one major thing that wasnt mentioned is how Unsullied were made to find and murder an infant child then pay the mother a single coin for her loss. Cold hearted.
Hey what happend to the new episode on the hk virus
They reminded me of the Spartans
You should make a video on the spartan 2 program the program in which gave us the master chief, nobel team and a few other Spartans in halo and not to mention the training, the disposable child body doubles and the augmentation which seen in Halo fall of reach only a hand few of cadets lived fullt. If you do you should also bring up the Spartans first missions being the insurrection and than the fall of reach
And now they are in Naarth led by Greyworm. Soon the Unsullied will have to forcibly "acquire" young males and um...go to the "procedure" and training for replacement Unsullied. (Hey Greyworm had no problem watching his former queen kill thousands of children. This "recruitment" of young males would actually be easy for him.)
