    David and Dan had a sit down with GRRM to discuss plots points. they know the general idea of where the story ends but the Show version and the book version are completely different. the show only has 10 hours a season to work with so obviously they have to cut, combine and rework things. Also, this is for television, so its a more simplified version of the book. You can't expect them to make such an indepth perspective on the history of the book. It just cant be done. I think the way they handled it in the show was decent and believable enough

It's not about whether or not it's the same, it's about whether or not it's GOOD, and as for Season 6 (and to a degree Season 5), it's just not a good show anymore. The quality of previous seasons has entirely disappeared.

  • @marhi7238
    @marhi7238 8 років тому +6

    I really Like this theory. The children of the forest created them to punish the humans for destroying their things. They would take someone important to the humans, I don't think they'd just take anyone to be the first white walker. I think it'd be someone important like Bran the Builder or a noble.

    • @RNSEntertainmentChannel
      @RNSEntertainmentChannel  8 років тому +2

      That's not what this video states. There's nothing in the books to lead anyone to think that the Children created the White Walkers, or that the "Night King" from the show is anything but a stereotypical "big bad" that the show invented of their own accord. The Night's King in the books has an entirely different story and timeline, and the Children had nothing to do with him becoming what he was. The show is stupid, and just made some shit up with no regard for the books or Martin's story.

    • @marhi7238
      @marhi7238 8 років тому +1

    The children didn't "raise" a tidal wave to break the arm of dorm and make it the broken arm, it was assumed to be the 'greenseers' (spelling?), but even then this is looked at as a natural event that the greenseers were just given credit for.
    Source: The World of Ice & Fire book, 2014.

    • @RNSEntertainmentChannel
      @RNSEntertainmentChannel  8 років тому +2

      +ShouldBeStudying Incorrect. The greenseers WERE Children, and they used their magic to raise the hammer of the waters (which is a tidal wave). World of Ice & Fire does not contradict this, and in fact is written from a specific character's POV as he gives HIS take on their history. The character is written as being wrong several times in his own conjecture.

    • @BassManiac07
      @BassManiac07 8 років тому

      Hmm interesting. I know greenseers ARE children, rather "wisemen of the children" but are they not different all together? The greenseers could see "visions", which we seems to justify as time traveling. The children couldn't do this. Children also could not control the beasts around them, like an individual with the title of "greenseer" could. I guess, I'm looking at it from a perspective of white walkers/others vs night's king/queen. Yeah they are essentially cut from the same cloth - but they are different in abilities.
      If the greenseers really had that much power to raise a tidal wave, why not use it ON the men themselves? Yeah okay, they took out the piece of land that the first men used to migrate to the land but since the greenseers can see visions of the past and future could they not see an instance where man figures out how to travel across water?
      I guess I must've missed it but which book says for certain that the greenseers conjured this up and it wasn't just a natural act?

    • @RNSEntertainmentChannel
      @RNSEntertainmentChannel  8 років тому +1

      +ShouldBeStudying No, the greenseers were just the specific Children who had greensight abilities, just like Bran and others are just humans with greensight. They can't "time travel" at all, they can only see events in the past/future and only slightly have their presence be felt, with things like rustling in weirwood leaves or a "presence" felt by the observed. Followers of the Old Gods often misinterpret this as their gods watching over them, when in reality it is just a greenseer.
      Also, all of the Children had magic to some extent, and most COULD warg into and control animals. This is not a greenseer ability, and is very common among the Children.
      Raising the tidal wave took all of their combined power to accomplish, and was extremely difficult for them, which is why they focused it on what they viewed as tactical points: breaking the Arm of Dorne, and then attempting to do the same at the Neck. They succeeded in their first attempt but only managed to slightly flood the Neck. They essentially had to combine all of their most powerful magic to accomplish this even once, and failed in their second attempt. The First Men were far too numerous and entrenched in much of Westeros for them to just "wipe out" with a wave. It's not that easy.

    GRRM: Suddenly the twist you’re building towards is out there, Because you’ve been planning for a certain ending and if you suddenly change direction just because somebody figured it out, or because they don’t like it, then it screws up the whole structure.” You hear that D&D.

    Could it be possible, that Nissa Nissa is the Night's Queen, becoming such when who ever the warrior was who is referred to by Azor Ahai put the swqord that would be known as Lightbringer through her. This would leave her not dead but soulless as it were. So could it be possible that indeed a Stark such as Brandon the Breaker was the original warrior known as Azor Ahai. It appears that he knew how he was supposed to forge the sword being that it is said that he knew with a heavy heart the sacrifice he had to make to forge the sword into a flaming sword or sword with a soul that could actually defeat what was soulless, namely the Others.... Once the Others were defeated, a new enemy is now born The White walkers, coming into existence by the Night's Queen aka Nissa Nissa, and the Night's King is actually the very one who defeated the Other's, Brandon Stark or Brandon the Breaker. Feeling remorse and sorrow thinking he killed his wife, but later to find she actually was still somewhat alive, abandoned everything to be with her still, but inadvertently caused another menace to rise.... Thus setting off a chain of events that now leads to the current state of affairs...

  • @nicann8038
    @nicann8038 8 років тому +8

    Ok, first of all, I can't think of one instance where a movie or TV show based on a book was actually better than the book. There is simply no way to be as thorough on film as in writing because there is no way to explain what people's thoughts in books are, which is huge for character development. Secondly, the Series of books is over 4500 pages and counting. There is no way that a series could run that long with the success GOT has had because there simply not enough money to pay the actors, let alone for all the CHI effects that are needed at this point in the story, where we see magical creatures and huge battles more frequently. Lastly, I definitely recommend reading the books but, if you haven't yet, I would finish watching the TV show first. To not do so will, in fact, lead to much confusion. As a stand alone series, for people who haven't read the books, it is a pretty awesome TV experience. Ok, I've run out of room. Lol. Peace, all!

    • @RNSEntertainmentChannel
      @RNSEntertainmentChannel  8 років тому +3

      So they don't have time to show relevant events/characters from the books, but they do have time to show Arya repetitively doing the same goofy kung-fu stick training and seeing the same terrible play over and over for an entire season? Most of this season was pointless drawing out of simple and obvious plots. Literally no one thinks that the show should be the same as the books. The problem is that as of this season, and last season as well to a degree, the show is making terrible decisions with what they're choosing to do and where they're choosing to take it. Couple that with the shortened last two seasons and delaying tactics, it's obvious they have nothing left without Martin's work to supplement them. The problem is not money, they have plenty, and budget doesn't determine creative decisions to that degree. The problem is not time, they're shortening the seasons and wasting time on filler while ignoring actual source material they could be drawing inspiration from instead.
      The tv series was a great adaptation through the first four seasons, and in Season 4 they made plenty of great changes from the books. The past two seasons have steadily dropped off in quality, though, and the fanfiction-level writing this season sealed the deal of it being beyond repair.

  • @adamepants9706

    It’s my understanding that the First Men and Children of The Forest had a peace but later, when the Andals came over with the Light of The Seven, then chopping down Weirwood trees and re-starting the fight. Hence why they created the White Walkers, mainly against the Andals.
    This next bit is my opinion.
    The Night/s King used to live in The Broken Tower at Winterfell and was a Stark bastard but he went to become the 13th Lord Commander where he met a Targaryen (Nights Queen but referred to as a White Walker by most) The Lord of Winterfell attempted to kill and erase all record of him and what he is. Jon Snow is a Warg and is the only one who is capable of matching his powers if turned into a WW.......here’s your bitter sweet ending. Dany has to kill Jon to make him a WW and become Azor Ahai, but Jon goes and defeats the NK but takes his place in the lands of always winter, creating Peace.....but will return to save house Stark if needed (hence why there must always be a Stark in Winterfell - otherwise his sacrifice will have been for nothing).
    Just my opinion...please dig holes in the theory.

    Theory: They need a Stark of Winterfell, because the Children
    had caught a Stark member in experiment magic to fight against the First Men
    about 12 thousand years. The Children used too much dragonglass and went out control
    as establish the White King. Over the thousand years, the White King (a rogue Stark)
    had evolved in magic and established the other White Walkers and wights. The Children
    to help Bran Building to build the Wall and Winterfell to have a weirwood trees to communication
    with the Old Gods of the Forest (Children) with support Three-eyed Raven to save
    the history. The Children and House Stark have a pact to stop magic the White
    King and his dead army in getting south the Wall.

    What if the children used the White Walkers as some some sort of WMD to deter the first men from war and as a way to force them into peace? I feel like that would make both the boom and show's explanation for the origin of white walkers make sense, as the children could have just lost control of them after a while. Great video though!

      This video literally explains that and how HBO initially listed the character on their official website as the Night's King before realizing that they made a huge mistake spoiling his existence in the books, hence the name change to the Night King to make them different. You are a moron who didn't even listen to the video.

    The White Walkers are just a deadly force of nature. Like a fire or flood. They have no emotion, no malice, no desire. They just do what they do.
    Why are they coming now? Three reasons: a long winter is coming, there are (were) no Starks in Winterfell, and they smell death (from the War of the Five Kings).

      Since the actor who plays Bran Stark on the show is a teen and growing, the Show keeps changing the actor who plays the Night King. So that the facial features of the Bran and Night King are similar.

    • @alison2649
      @alison2649 6 років тому +1

      That’s because the Night King IS Bran. Yep. He was warned not to worg too long or he’ll get stuck and that’s what happened. He worged far too long through the Night Kings eyes and became stuck as him. Which is also why it’s not a coincidence that “the first ppl were Stark’s” AND why it’s not a coincidence that there are earlier Starks with the first name Bran.

    @Aderran 8 років тому

    I'm of the opinion that, in the television adaptation, the Children of the Forest created the White Walkers toward the end of their war against the First Men. We can't assume that the Children are, or were, any more unified than Men. Perhaps the White Walkers were created by one faction while another, larger faction, sought a diplomatic end to the war devastating the continent.If so, the first White Walker might have been quietly banished to lands far north of any holdings of Children or Men when the pact was struck. I believe the first White Walker seeks to continue the purpose forced upon him by the Children; to scour the Race of Men from Westeros.

    I still think it could be both. The Men were demolishing the Children of the Forest in the war, so why would they want peace, unless they created the White walkers as a show of force, maybe even had them attack a few times (like how America used the Atomic bomb in WW2). Afterwards they sent the walkers to the middle of no where while there was peace, but four thousand years later something bad happened which created the long night.
    As for the Night /'s king, just because they have the night king here, doesn't mean they won't have the Night's King come back later. Also, and this is completely imo, but what if the lady the Night's king fell in love with was the Night King's daughter? Food for thought

    There is one nagging question i have with this theory.. If Brandon the Builder is the Night King, who both built the Wall and lived on the Wall, from where comes the magic that stops him/white walkers from crossing the Wall at the moment? The only logical choice seems to be that it was added later, after he was banished from the wall.. which raises the question what was the purpose of the wall in the first place? Or is he inherently different than other white walkers?

    I liked your video. I have found, when viewing adaptations, nothing is ever exact. Some things cannot be done on film like they are in prose. Other things, seem to always need to have a Hollywood sheen added for mass consumption. I have found the GOT television show to be wholly entertaining fare, and the books to be their own entity.

    • @RNSEntertainmentChannel
      @RNSEntertainmentChannel  8 років тому +7

      The show never needed a "Hollywood sheen" before, and it's only there now because D&D are hacks who can't do any better. They realized they aren't actually good enough to handle this story and resorted to every cheap, lowest common denominator garbage to try and desperately appease casual, stupid audiences.
      NO ONE expects an adaptation to be EXACTLY like the books. No one. Saying "They're different entities!" does not excuse the adapted entity of being shit, sorry, that's a terrible argument. The show was never exactly like the books (except maybe Season 1, which was close as hell), but always had a level of quality that is sorely missing in Season 6.
