      Brynden Rivers was one of the smartest people in the series. He was honorable in his own way and did what was best for his Targaryen kin even if it made him a villain. He ruled through fear because he knew with his looks he would never be loved.

      Well that's just silly that people freaked out. I love it! If I wanted a simple echo-chamber of how a book should be read and processed I sure as hell wouldn't read GRR Martin. You guys keep shaking it up and making us think critically. Whether it's to be agreed upon 100% or not, it's such fun seeing different, unique and critical thinking on these books. Definitely the stuff that should make our favorite author proud. You guys have been a refreshing breath of air while waiting for Winds to come out. Anyone who boo's that is missing the true joy of these books. xoxo

    Wait a minute!
    He was a sorcerer, rumored to be able to turn into a dog and mist. He’s albino and the sun bothered his skin so he was always wearing a hood
    Bloodraven might be a twist on depiction of vampires, who are often villains. In this case, he was no villain at all.
    I’m ashamed that I didn’t notice this sooner, but that’s so cool.

    Hey! Red eyes, albino skin and hair, Targaryen bone structure, a birth mark even better than a cool tatoo... If you ask me, Blood Raven sounds exotic and beautiful, maybe not conventionally hot, and maybe weird, by the supertistios standards of Westeros, but Shiera Seastar was unconventional herself. Aegor had no chance.

    • @theinvisiblewoman6783
      @theinvisiblewoman6783 2 роки тому +3

      Hot in a creepy unnerving way. The way Odin would be attractive or a drow in D&D. Ghost is beautiful and he has white fur and red eyes. He reminds me a bit of Zane Cobrina from a teen book series I loved as a kid. Looks scary at first until you start looking at him through the eyes of a lover. I imagine Sheira with her strange blue eye and green eye heteroroma would have thought them a very attractive couple.

    I've not heard before anyone draw such a compelling parallel between Tyrion and Bloodraven, but as usual now that you guys point it out, it's like a huge blinking sign. It's no accident that Tyrion is a POV character drawn to be so witty, sympathetic, and beloved. By doing this GRRM demonstrates how someone like him can be so misunderstood and underappreciated because of his appearance, scapegoating, bitter half(?)-sibling (!!!) out to get him, etc...so it perfectly sets up a Bloodraven reveal later on--because of Tyrion we are primed to understand the circumstances. So cool!

    • @PedroLucas-mg5je
      @PedroLucas-mg5je 2 роки тому +1

      If we think about it, BloodRaven is a mix of Jon, Theon and Tyrion, BR is a legitimized bastard with the blood of Valyria and the First Men that wields a Valyrian sword (like Jon), is skilled with a bow and accused of being a kinslayer (like Theon) and acted as Hand of the King, but was hated and feared by both the common people and nobility because of his appearance (like Tyrion) and has taken the black and become leader of the Night's Watch! (like Jon, and Theon and Tyrion as well if Tyrion haven't gone to Essos and if Theon wasn't captured by Ramsay and turned into Reek)

    I refrain from watching any GoT videos until you release yours. Yes it may take some time and I check each day to see if there are any new uploads. That being said it is well worth the wait, I can only imagine how much time and effort you put into each video and for that I thank you. I would rather one well informative and perfectly executed video once a week than multiple videos based on conjecture. As much as I desperately wait for more content I would like to say the meticulous, spot on, nature of your videos are well worth the wait. This channel has given me clarity to many sides of the story that were previously shrouded in mystery and I had never dreamed of being able to piece together. You have my admiration and patience, also my appreciation of such masterful insight. This is one of the most intelligent channels I have come across and I thank you for your dedication. Just know that your videos help me through my week and as always, I can't wait for your next video!

    A black weirwood tree? I think the Blackwood sigil is a dead weirwood tree, not a black tree. It is certainly white on the wiki sigil, not that I put a lot of trust in the wiki. Dead from the Bracken's poisoning the tree. The tree does seem to attract a large flock of raven's. Nice video! Bloodraven really is one of the more intriguing characters in the story.

    • @mtgirl73sg
      @mtgirl73sg 7 років тому +2

      Bloodraven and the norse god Odin have strong parallels. Odin is also associated with ravens, and in myth, Odin gave one of his eyes for knowledge. Odin is often depicted with animal companions that not only include Ravens, but Wolves, as well. When I first read about Bloodraven in ASOIAF, my mind went to Odin in myth. Jon is also very like Odin with his wolf and raven, as well.

    • @bouboubibila979
      @bouboubibila979 7 років тому +5

      Yes, Jon is a young Odin who knows nothing for now, since he still has both his eyes. He will probably lose an eye at some point, or maybe he'll remain ignorant for the rest of the story. Are there some allusions to Jon's eyes in the books?

    • @TheOrderoftheGreenhand
      @TheOrderoftheGreenhand  7 років тому

      thank you! making one of these videos takes about 100+ hours and I think down the stretch I was getting a bit tired, I also have a cold (which you can kinda tell in the video), which may have contributed to my mistake there. haha but thanks for letting me know.

    • @mtgirl73sg
      @mtgirl73sg 7 років тому +2

      Boubou Bibila I wonder if he wont lose an eye, or even both, as some point, in the show and books. The books detail an attack by an eagle, much like the show does. Season 6 promo pic's indicated Jon with blood around his eye, and I was certain that he would lose an eye in season 6, but that did not happen. I would not be surprised if that happened at some point, though!

    @Killerina 7 років тому +5

    I always thought that since Bloodraven in Dunk and Egg is kinda portrayed as a "bad guy" that he must in actuality be the opposite. I've wondered if he knowingly chose to stay in that cave to devote himself to saving Westeros. He's in a position to watch over key players that will be important in the endgame. He sacrificed his physical body for the greater good. I think Jon will make some similar sacrifice in the end to give us our "bittersweet" ending. I don't think he'll necessarily die, but will make some similar sacrifice for the greater good. I've also wondered if eventually Bran and Arya will become enemies unknowingly. They are both being trained to use their natural abilities. Bloodraven has always fought for the Targs, and it's assumed dragons will be necessary to defeat the others. On the other hand, the faceless men are anti Valyrian and one can only assume anti dragon. The faceless men are definitely up to something involving dragons with Pate being at the citadel. I can't wait to hear your opinions on the faceless men!

    • @TheOrderoftheGreenhand

    @MissyAmy88 7 років тому +2

    How do you think The Prince of Dragonstone Baelor Breakspear died in the Trial of Seven? Maekar cannot remember hitting his brother with his mace, but he must have. Could it be Bloodraven that made him do this? So that in the end Maekars line would end up on the Throne. Because of the prophesy of the Prince who was promised. They knew about this prophecy back then. Maybe Prince Daeron, son of Maekar already had dreamt that he/she would be born out of Aegons line, and then Bloodraven does everything he can in order to make Aegon king. Then he goes to the Wall, can research the WW, and connects to the Weirwood trees while still sending dreams and messages to other people all over Westeros. Bloodraven definently sacrificed himself for the greater good. But he could also sacrifice others. He is a grey shade person.

    • @TheOrderoftheGreenhand
      @TheOrderoftheGreenhand  7 років тому

      I think Maekar inadvertently killed him. The last time we saw them in the fight, Maekar was fighting his brother and two other men at the same time...in the blur of action, wildly fighting Maekar must have hit his brother with his mace while trying to keep all three of them off him. Maekar was a formidable warrior and the one thing that is certain is that he didn't mean to...him not remembering isn't abnormal for a situation like that...Dunk didn't remember if he killed Aerion or not...it is possible that Bloodraven played a role in some of the things that happened but I think it more likely that he would have done things following the events at Whitewalls, where he discovered that Egg was the dragon born at whitewalls

    • @MissyAmy88
      @MissyAmy88 7 років тому

      I think we were meant to think it was only the heat of the battle that made Maekar not remember hitting Baelor. But I still think its very fishy. Yes, it could have happen that way, but I think Bloodraven easily could have intervened and taken an advantage of the situation. Whitewalls is a different matter. There Bloodraven surley was very much involved.

    • @TheOrderoftheGreenhand

    I find it interesting that there are only 3 characters who are better known (or referred to more often by) by their nick names than their real names. Bloodraven, Bittersteel and Dark Star. Do you think that there is any connection or reason for that?

    • @TheOrderoftheGreenhand
      @TheOrderoftheGreenhand  7 років тому +2

      There are a few others...the hound, the mountain, blackheart, the old bear, crow's eye and there are probably more that I can't think of off the top of my head...I personally think the entire point of Dark Star is to really show that being the sword of the morning takes more than skill at arms, because if that's all it took Dark Star (the best sword in Dorne) would be the sword of the morning...I think Bittersteel got his name because he was bitter all the time, and bloodraven is incredibly symbolic of his role in the story

  • @PBRStreetgang
    @PBRStreetgang 7 років тому +3

    Sorry to double-post, but I really want to know your opinion on how the A+N = J will be played out on the show. Your videos made me re-read the series again, but with A+N = J being the major underlying theme. I see it so much that I can't go back to the 99% of viewers and readers who are holding to the R+L = J is canon at this point. It was subtly re-enforced during my initial phase of reading the books because that's all I hear. I've read through AGAIN with notes from this series, and I can't go back and un-see. It is classic GRRM subtle misdirection and scattered clues to find Jon's lineage.
    I know the creators of the show had to hazard a guess to George re: Jon's parents before he would let them do the show, and apparently they got it right because here we are, 6 full seasons in. I really hope we do have the rug pulled out from the accepted theory. When I heard Ser Arthur Dayne say "I wish you good fortune in the wars to come", same as Mance told Stannis, it struck me as odd. Then Uncle Benjen-Hands tells Bran and Meera "I wish you good fortune...", then leaves without saying anything else because the war had already come. They seem to be keeping it open as to the foreshadowing in the show, but I can see it being setup as a major twist. Knowing that the show will end the same way the books will, I wonder if this is a big season 7 plotline or cliff-hanger, or if they are going to go with the overwhelming majority and get it wrong.
    I ramble too much, but I see the N+A = J story as the barometer of truth after reading through the books again with notes taken from your playlist. Again, great job.

    • @TheOrderoftheGreenhand
      @TheOrderoftheGreenhand  7 років тому +2

      First of all...thank you very much...in answer to your question, I see the show as having two options at this point, and I don't believe they are the shot caller for their options...GRRM is...he has recently indicated that TWOW will actually be coming out this year...they pushed back the show as far as they could to try and accommodate him in his desire to reveal his own secrets by giving him some extra time, but it is crunch time and they are either going to continue to make Fanfiction, which is what GRRM called the show this past year or are going to make an actual effort to get back where the books are going. Last season, it seemed to me that they were forbidden from showing any part of Jon's actual book plot besides his resurrection...following his resurrection, everything he did following it was Stannis' book plot...they cast 3 yet to be named characters whose descriptions perfectly match Aegon, Connington and Ashara/Lemore...they killed off 2/3 of the cast in the last two episodes last season, and have recently "leaked" the name Aegon Targaryen as Jon Snow's "real name." I believe they have been "leaking" misinformation about the show because they have too many open sets that paparazzi can easily take pictures of, and since 99.99999% of people are too lazy to pour through all those pictures and try and piece something together from them, and are more likely to take the "ready-made" information. This allowed them to take back control of the offseason narrative surrounding the show again and took the power from the paparazzi photo speculators. An executive of a major network would likely know how to manipulate narratives or he/she wouldn't have gotten to the position they are in...and think about it...every time they do it, the internet goes wild with speculation based on what the "leak" says...Anyways, we think the name leak of Aegon Targaryen is real, its just not Jon's real name...his name is Jon Stark, King of the North and Sword of the Morning...also, think about how much better a scene it would be to shoot where Jon meets his mother (who will immediately recognize him because he looks nearly identical to what Ned looked like when she met Ned), rather than him being devastated to find out he's a Targaryen and an orphan of two people he will never meet

    • @PBRStreetgang
      @PBRStreetgang 7 років тому +1

      I've been waiting until I could actually take some time to reply; I see you're not afraid of being verbose either. Once I start writing something speculative about the show / the books, it's hard to stop because there is so much to say. Your videos are really well done and extremely dense, which I throughly appreciate.
      I think you are correct about the show's off-season leaks and open sets. It seems that the filming occurring now has gotten off the charts, the story has to be told in a way that isn't just confirming the "leaked plot". I'm not one to miss a trainwreck, so I can't deny I check out Watchers several times per week, but I don't draw any conclusions based off what I see other than the obvious. My interpretation is pretty much "Yep, this dude's back. That dude's back. Who is that new actress? Who is she going to be playing? Arya's northern garb is awesome. Glad to see the Stoneheart story has been tossed." That's as much as I will allow myself to absorb.
      HBO execs aren't stupid, and they want GOT material on the air for a long while, and George is all onboard. HBO told us Jon was dead after season 5 finished. Now they have a chart up on the website "confirming" he is the son of Lyanna and Rhaegar. When re-watching the TOJ vision in S06E10, it is strongly inferred via the cut-shot that the baby Ned was holding was Jon, but it was never outright said in the show. There is zero video proof that it was Jon. If they're cutting Aegon / Young Griff from the show, they're doubling down and it will be Dany. I seriously hope it turns out that he is Jon Stark and the Sword of the Morning. D&D and George are contractually obligated so that the story and show end the same way. The character's journeys will be different, but the over-arching story has to remain the same. I want the R+L=J theory to be completely dismantled, because that would be GREAT to see unfold. If Dan and Dave didn't come to the correct conclusion re: Jon's parentage when pitching the script to George, the show wouldn't have moved forward.
      There is also the issue of the inside studio shoots that the paparazzi can't get their hands on, which is where the juiciest and most protected storylines are served up. The outdoor scenes could indeed be using some deception to curtail leaks, but they are already running on a razor-thin budget, so I don't think they would waste time and money on too many fake-outs. We are seeing the shots without context, and the "leaked plot" confirms nothing other than certain actors being brought back to finish their parts in the story. They should have Sam and Gilly show up to the beach scene in a rusty pickup, with a Dothraki vs Wilding volleyball game. Headlines after would read "Game of Thrones - Time Travelling / SciFi Angle Confirmed!" People tend to forget about the HUGE Northern Ireland secure studio.
      Anyway, awesome vids on Bloodraven, I'm just getting around to reading his story in the novellas. I'm not one who is easily triggered by spoilers; I quit posting on Reddit because there is an entire matrix of rules as to what is considered a spoiler and what is not. People searching out info on the series do so at their own risk. I can't coddle people who are sensitive to spoilers. This is a story that cannot be discussed without bringing up spoiler material. Many thanks for doing the hard work and creating some of the highest-quality analysis out there.

      I prefer to believe that he fought against the Others (kinda like the fight between the Others and Waymar Royce in the Epilogue of Book 1), was gravely wounded but was saved by the children and that's why he's stuck in that weirwood, I don't think that the COTF are evil because when Bran is in that cave, Summer is never hostile to either Leaf or Brynden and we know that the direwolves can sense whether people are harmless or not, Lady, Grey Wind and Ghost are there to proof and I consider the Jojen Paste theory a red herring as well!

I'll give you this, Mel clearly has been brought back before, as Beric says the fire consumes and he doesn't remember much of his old life, if this is the case with Shiara then perhaps it would explain. On the flip side Mel has red eyes like an albino... Mayhaps her father's eyes... Idk. what do you think evidence wise?

      thats an interesting observation. i also just found that there is a Lothston enlisted with the Golden Company. Of course the men there can go by any name they want and claim to be descended from wherever, but it seems credible, given the information you just provided. I really think that Bloodraven was prophecy driven, and seemed to be laser focused on ensuring the exact right Targaryen lineage came to be, as one of things he did to prepare for the great war to come.

    +The Order of the Green Hand - I know this is a Bloodraven video but @ the beginning you mentioned the Faceless Men...I got to thinking - do you believe they have animal skins/hides & well their faces too (obviously, the entire skins) & use their blood magic to not just masquerade as other humans but animals as well?
    Skin-Changers* I guess I'm asking about as well.
    Thanks & have a good one! I've messaged you guys enough this week so I don't wanna make it a habit! On that note - THANKS so much for being so kind to uss your own precious time to reply to so many of us fanatics out here!!

      Answering comments is actually kind of fun sometimes...doing it has allowed us to interact with fans from all over the world, and the questions people ask help strengthen our understanding of the story...it is getting a little more overwhelming as the channel has grown but we're going to do our best to keep up answering as many as we can for as long as it is possible...we believe the magic used by the faceless men is a more elaborate form of skinchanging...we delve into it a bit in the first two Faceless Men videos...there will be a third by Wednesday next week...we're going to try and have Tywin 2 ready by monday...

    Neat video. Just curious, do you have anything planned for when you reach 5000 subscribers? I'm sure it'll happen soon.

    • @TheOrderoftheGreenhand
      @TheOrderoftheGreenhand  7 років тому

      We have no idea what we should be doing...if UA-cam ever decides to actually pay us, which they still have not yet, we are going to make Order of the Green Hand shirts but that won't happen by tomorrow which is likely to be when we hit 5000...do you have any suggestions?

      The Order of the Green Hand Other than a series recap (of your series to be specific) I can't see having a better idea than you guys.

    Apologies if this has been asked before, but if Bloodraven's huge red birthmark is so vital to his common nick-name, why do you guys think that he had no such marking in the show on HBO? Save $10 an episode on red makeup even though he was only in 5 episodes? Are we sure the man in the cave who taught Bran on the show IS the same man in the show?

    • @TheOrderoftheGreenhand
      @TheOrderoftheGreenhand  7 років тому +1

      that is a great question...I'm not convinced that he was Bloodraven in the show...they gave him two eyes too

    • @dratheart
      @dratheart 7 років тому

      Thank you, and yes as I say at the end of my question, then we are NOT sure he is Brynden Rivers in the show. That opens the door to a bigger question: If he ISN'T Blood-Raven, then who the heck is he? Maybe everything he said to Bran was a lie. Maybe *The Children* NEED someone tied into their magic tree internet service provider for their own power somehow. Now they let Bran flee in the show, but in the books one of the first things The Children do is to start constructing a "magic throne" for Bran just like the old man's in. Then they give him Jojen Paste, aka "The Kool-Aid". Maybe it's The Children's version of Roofies and Bran is about to have the longest date-rape of his life, only WORSE (mind-rape).....

      I cant wait til Monday now! I love how much work you both put into these videos. I can't imagine how much of your personal time goes into this. thank you again, im obsessed with the show but you guys have made me order the books!

    • @TheOrderoftheGreenhand
      @TheOrderoftheGreenhand  7 років тому

      the answer to that is most of our free time is spent on it...but after we read the books the first time we spent about a year doing that anyways because neither of us have the patience to wait to find out in TWOW so we decided that we needed figure it all out ourselves...then after we did that, we tried to find someone else who thought what we did and couldn't so we decided to make a few videos and see what people thought of them

  • @kamelzyadeh490
    @kamelzyadeh490 7 років тому +1

    great video as always..
    in the previous video (old nan) you said that there will be a Q&A, any idea when will that be?
    and if you guys could make a schedule or something for your videos that'll be great.
    love you guys, keep up the good job.

    • @TheOrderoftheGreenhand
      @TheOrderoftheGreenhand  7 років тому

      We are trying to figure out how we could get on a more regular schedule....the issue with it is each video requires a lot of research and depending on if we run into any snags/ parts of the theory that need more figuring before we move forward...our videos usually come together organically...we get started and let the research and the text take us where it goes...that makes it hard because some videos take us 5 days to do and others have taken us 8...in regards to the live Q&A, we are looking for a new camera to shoot it with and are having a Wolf's Den banner designed for it...it should be happening in the next few weeks...we will definitely be posting updates about it on our social media pages

    • @kamelzyadeh490
      @kamelzyadeh490 7 років тому +1

      The Order of the Green Hand I understand and your videos clearly been worked hard on, I appreciate that it's just that I don't want to miss a video (:
      and BTW are you guys planning to do another (why catelyn sucks) video?

    • @TheOrderoftheGreenhand
      @TheOrderoftheGreenhand  7 років тому +1

      We had to take a break from her because people got so mad at us that it almost killed our channel....I can't believe how personally people took it that we told them she sucks...especially since she does suck...I must have challenged 100 people to name a situation she makes better with her involvement and not one person could name one (because there isn't one) yet they were still completely unforgiving of our "treatment" of her (as if she was a real person)...but we're not the types to back down so as soon as we're done with Bloodraven we'll be back at it revealing to the world just how bad she sucks

    • @kamelzyadeh490
      @kamelzyadeh490 7 років тому +1

      The Order of the Green Hand that's ridiculous, I used to think of her as a good character until I watched your videos and you guys are pretty convincing.
      and about people hating it. well, by the words of Lord Alester Florent: Is it treason to say the truth? A bitter truth, but no less true for that.

    • @TheOrderoftheGreenhand
      @TheOrderoftheGreenhand  7 років тому

      A lot of people thought that about her because HBO seems to have gone out of their way to make her the strong leading lady of the show in the first few seasons...it starts with them reversing the roles of Ned and Catelyn when Robert offers him the Handship and continues throughout, but the only thing the two characters really have in common is the name
