So I freaked out about spoilers and turned off comments on all videos. That's not necessarily a permanent decision. But for now, I am going to keep chat open for 24 hours on new videos.
The rationale behind that, is that most of you who watch the videos within the first day are people whom I consider friends. And you guys know that I don't want to know any spoilers. So I trust you guys. But after 24 hours, I run the risk of non-subscribers innocently or even maliciously spoiling s8 for myself and those that read my comment section (like they did for Littlefinger and Viserion last year)
Hope all is well my friends. I'm working on so many cool videos. (Granted, I'm both a super nerd and crazy. But I'm VERY excited. I wish I could produce content fast, because I have literally hundreds of ideas to work on, and over 50 projects currently in process - some outlined, some rough drafts, some final drafts, and even some already in the video creation phase).
-----------------------------
This is a NON-SPOILER VIDEO for Season 8 on a NON-SPOILER CHANNEL | Do not EVER mention set, cast, script, or plot leaks in any context. Homie don't play that. I cannot read every comment the second it comes in. So last year, I witnessed other people being spoiled in the comment section of my videos. Even though it was not my fault, it made me feel terrible. I do NOT want that to happen again this year.
And please focus on the stuff you love; leave negativity at the door. Thanks. =)) #livelaughlove
bridge4 I really love your channel. I only just discovered it and it is probably my favorite channel of all I subscribe to. You have the heart of a writer and the voice of a narrator. 😊
bridge4 Kev, the early access link isn't working for me...unless I'm doing something wrong?
@@Jockeylotforfun same here and I really wanna watch it!
What's a spoiler? Even a blind crow can find "Corn!". Even in winter and Snow.
Thanks for the kind words. It's a group effort tho. The community as a whoLe is awesome :))
I was of the mindset that “there must always be a Stark in Winterfell” had to do with a supernatural protection. While the reasons may have been lost through the ages and all that remains is the phrase, I believe that if there is no Stark in Winterfell, it becomes vulnerable to the Night King. Once Bran and Rickon leave, there is no longer a Stark in Winterfell, and that triggers the sequence of events that lead to its impending downfall. 🤷🏻♀️ guess we’ll find out soon enough!
This is my mindset as well. And maybe tie in the Night's Watch vows and dwindling numbers as well.
This has always been what I thought, as well
I don't think we will find that out soon enough, the show didn't help and Winds of Winter, well...
Narrator: the sweet summer child would not end up finding out soon enough…
Lol stupid season 8
Like the belief in England that
there must be Ravens always
living at The Tower or else England will fall. 😐
I'm just happy they didn't F up Theons character. Alfie Allen did an amazing job. He deserves a damn award.
He was stellar from start to finish
@@bridge4 couldn't agree more :)
Why a DAMN award?
Your voice bro, it's like caramel to my ears
Lol
I thought I was the only one ksjksjsk
Julia he really should
I'm actually working on a reading right now. Just a section so that I can analyze it the following day. Itll be out Friday. Audios done. Gotta bust out the visuals tho
Thank you
I literally say “There must always be a Stark in Winterfell” literally out of nowhere so I enjoyed this.
3:02 “There’s a monster in every man and it stirs when you put a sword in his hand,” - Ser Jorah Mormont
You have the perfect voice for doing nature documentaries.
Lol! I'm not sure if that's a nice thing to say. But since animal docs are arguably my favorite television, I'm going to say thank you! Lol
@@bridge4 its is a nice thing
Pretty sure they need a stark to keep the boltons in check, but your ideas seem good too. It would make sense to keep some starks behind incase the others die in war, as well as keep the common folks morale high and crime low.
Your channel is very informative without spoiling anything, you are quickly becoming my favorite.
thanks for the kind words and support =))
There’s a difference between the ‘Night’s King’, & the ‘Night King’. Two totally different people.
Ethan Mosley thanks. This fact get‘s mixed up in so many theories, it annoys me
Maybe its Knight's King not Night King.
You have not seen enough bridge4 videos
@@kethpino4231 It's Night's King in the books. He was the 13th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.
The Night King on the show, is D&D's own creation. He's not in the books.
Two different men. Two different stories.
There are The Others in the books, but don't play a major role in anything...yet. D&D took The Others, gave them a king, and made them the focus of a storyline.
There are NO clues in any of the books as to who the Night King is...was.
@@TheDianeault5 There’s actually a huge clue as to who the Nights King was, Old Nan drops that bomb when telling the story to Bran. “Some say he was a umber, a flint, some say a Stark of Winterfell, May haps his name was Brandon, may haps he slept in this very room” or something to that effect. And anything Old Nan says has weight to it and should be looked at carefully.
You mention that by now the North has forgotten, BUT "The North Remembers!"
Or since the knight King was a Stark. Perhaps it had to be a stark to kill him. Meaning there always had to be a stark in Winterfell.
no
the Night's king is
and they aren't the same figure
brandon killed his brother "the Night's king" when he knew that he and his bride were sacrificing children to the others
GRRM SAID HE IS DEAD
Yes, YES! I've watched *a whole bunch* of your videos, but just found this one today- It's EXACTLY what I thought after reading the books, but could never go through and find all the specific examples to prove it! You're the best! Cheers, keep it up! 👏
Reading the books, I taken the saying totally different.
Like magic on the wall, and winterfell build by the same person. The binding contract or magic would be broken if none of the bloodline left the castle. So the walkers would be free to come south.
That, and also that the Stark blood is what prevents the dead of the crypts arise.
There is another time that the phrase "there must always be a Stark in Winterfell", it is in season 1 episode 8 "The Pointy End". It is said when Rob is about to leave south with the banner men for his father and he tells Bran this. Just thought that would be interesting to know
I love your channel so much. Your ideas are interesting without being overbearing, really makes me think. Plus you have a great voice. Keep up the good work.
Nice one! Enjoyed it and yes maybe just as simple as that. Looking forward to the next video!
i didnt highlight the ending the way i intended thgo. to be clear, i think it's that simple. but it specifically relates to that one event (and that bastard is going to prove to be the night king =)
The second time this phrase was used in the show is when Rob visited Bran in his chambers before he rode off south with his bannermen in Season 1 E 8. And after Rob said the phrase he instructed Bran to stay within the castle walls
Or maybe that’s part of the deal with the children of the forest... it’s called winter fell for a reason, that’s where the winter fell
what do you mean?
winterfell is the place children of the forest created night king he means maybe
It the first place you see the trees. The final battle place of the previous war.
@@flyitrightbaby Winter came to an end
Love how in depth your videos go. Can’t wait for season 8
:))
About that..
The US military does the same thing, all but one son can go to war. So the bloodline does not end in one war. My grandfather was not able to fight in WW2, Korea or Vietnam because all of his brother where already enlisted in the military. The reason they do this is because the male carries the family’s last name, if he would die then the blood line would go extinct.
Literal Cancer &Cody; You Both Have Points! My Recollection Was The Oldest Male/Males Goes First (If Of Age) But One MUST Stay Home 1)For The Bloodline &To Take Care Of The Mother/Father! *My Was Drafted But We Had Just Married &Had A BABY On The Way..So He Was Exempt! (Because HE Would Be The Only Male For His New Bloodline!) Therefore His Younger Brother HAD To Go When He Got Drafted! And Yes, There Had To Be At Least ONE Male To Carry The Family Bloodline! And I Also Think It Was To Take Care Of The Mother Or Father! 😎
nibbles; Even Though Private Ryan Was A Movie..They Were Telling How The Military Enlisted Draftees As Well As Volunteers! Even If It Was 6 Men In One Family! But ONE MALE Had To Stay Home For The Family Bloodline &To Take Care Of The Mother/Father Eventually! That Was My Recollection! 😎
@nibbles this wasn't always the case during the early parts of ww2 this rule didnt exist. In real life there was a story similar to SPR but they were in the navy not the army.
@@mrbrainbob5320 @nibbles You are correct Bob. All 5 Sullivan brothers were serving on the same Naval Ship in WWII. They were all killed when the ship sank. There was another family where all 4 were killed in the army in the span of months. These 2 cases are why there is a Sole Survivor Policy.
Same thing is in our family, My grandfather was in Army but his brother was not then my Father is in Army but his brother is not now my brother is in Army but i am not. Its very old tradition or say thats how they do it here.
I think the phrase Stark in Winterfell is also related to how the mountain clans in the North and possibly the ancient Firstmen call their leader. The Wull, the Liddle, the Flint, etc.
Bloodraven was not disappointed when Bran called out Neds name. The look he gave was one of sadness and not the only time he gets the look. Bloodraven already knows everything that did and will happen. The reason he is sad is that he knows what these actions will cause. the mistakes that were made that led to the time-loop that will trap Bran and the Starks forever, knowing that nothing he says or does will change it.
I like to think that not everything is shrouded in prophecy. To me, it just highlights how respected and well intentioned the Starks are at heart.
great video! i cant wait for the next part! congrats on 100K!! :-D
thanks, Chrissy :))
"There must always be...A Lich King"
Frostmourne hungers...
For the horde!
I always felt it was ment for when winter comes , “The Night King” . There has to be a Stark in Winterfell. Because it must only be a Stark that can defeat the Night King.
Love your videos and your thought of the story! Keep em coming.
thanks, Tracy =))
Didn’t Robb say it to Bran when he had to leave Winterfell. He said “There must always be a Stark in Winterfell” am I wrong?
I am really looking forward to this video--I am sure you will blow my mind as always ⚡️
I came across your channel for the first time today, mannnnn you have such a beautiful voice!!!!
Thanks :))
It’s very quiet and calm
I have been a subscriber I think since the two thousand range, and you'r content has only gotten better. Thanks for the great content bud!
Awesome thank you that’s a very Good input
A lot of great information here, thank you! A couple of thoughts (specifically within the context of the show) The first time in the show we see the Army of the Dead marching (the time when Sam is hiding behind a rock) is Season 2 episode 10. What sticks out to me is this the same episode in which Bran, Rickon, Hodor, and Osha emerge from "hiding in the crypts" of Winterfell and begin their journey north. The result is that this is now the first time in the context of the show where technically all Starks are gone from Winterfell. "There must always be a Stark in Winterfell". This tells me that the phrase "There must always be a Stark in Winterfell" is actually one of the conditions of the truce made between men and the others/walkers. The Walkers then take this as the sign that it's time to put their plan into effect.
Not a bad theory, but i always thought it was more to do with Leadership and hierarchy. Basically someone needs to be there to take charge. And literally that's what happens when Ned leaves, Caitlyn, then Robb, and finally Bran and his brother leaving. Bolton need to marrying Sansa, and so-on.
I’m so excited to hear everything!!!
I feel sad for Theon. His father was an ass. No son or daughter deserve that treatment. It was hos Father's treatment that made him do things.
Thanks for reminding me of how deeply sad Yara's attempted rescue of Theon/Reek was. It was heart-wrenching.
For sure
Her voice over lead9ng into it wss gnarly! Great actress
This is the best breakdown of GOT, The voice especially, I could listen to that narrator for hours
thanks, Kenneth!
Rob told Brand that there must always be a Stark in Winterfell also
Yea, I'm surprised that was overlooked. I was just checking the comments to see who else had caught it lol
Love this video. So full of good insights. Congrats on hitting 100K
thanks, my man!!
i got a little distracted with some stuff and lost track of the goal. ruined the presentation lol
but iat the time i hit "Schedule," i thought it was good lol. plus, i was over it. so i dfidnt want to take it down and redo it lol
Loved this one, great job👏👍💙😎
I think there must be always a Stark in Winterfell to keep the dead in the crypts. I think Theon is fullfilling that part, but he is not truly a Stark, hence the ghost of Winterfell which I think is Theon (either being warged -by a Stark, probably Bran-, or developing a split personality)
One of my favorite topics and you nailed it! I suspect in the books that it will have to do with awakening the sleepers in the crypts to capture the NK a Stark OF WINTERFELL/kin. like Aragorn in LOTR
The Lady Olenna Tyrell would love to see that in the show
GRRM is too good of a writer to just copy this blatantly I think.
Dood! Just found this channel, awesome and thank you
I love the channel man! Great work!
Thanks,sterling :))
I just became a channel member. You're special Bridge4, and have given me so much to think about. Also I love the name from "The Way of Kings" Have you ever read the "Memory, Sorrow and Thorn" books by Tad Williams? I would love your analysis of them. Also "The Kingkiller Chronicles" by Patrick Rothfuss. Anyhow, glad to be a member. Keep up the excellent work!
i own some of the Tad Williams i think but havent had a chance to crack them open yet unfortunately :( ive been so jammed with asoiaf since i began makgini youtube videos (to an unhealthy l;evel lol)
ive done kingkiller 2 or 3 times so far. love most of it, with the exception of the tangent with the fairy elf girl. and ironically,. thats probably the most imporanmt part, which means, i need to reread the stories agian lol
I guessed you missed it because there was a scene Robb told Bran there is always a Stark in Winter fell when he was leaving for wat to the south
1million views! Congrats man, been here since the beginning. Glad to see you rising up!
great video. cant wait for the next one too.....The North Remembers...should be great too, and thank you. btw.....Major Congratulations on 100k subscribers!!! WTG!!!
we all know now that the real reason for "there must always be a stark in winterfell" is to protect the north from the night kind and as the name suggest it's ('winter''fell')
Ned chanted a prayer before dying.
Calling that prayer magic
That magic rested his soul in the catacombs of winterhold.
The swords are there to keep them there. The spirits will fight at winterfell and that imo is what arya is running from. Dead decapitated daddy
Congrats to 100k my man!!
Really nice one :) Thank you
My theory on that saying is wrapped in much thicker tin foil. There must always be a Stark in Winterfell because when the Night King (or the Great Other) comes south, he'll want to raise the dead in the Crypts of Winterfell. If there is no Stark in Winterfell, he'll be able to do so, and with so many of the great kings of Winter this army would be nigh unbeatable. However, if there IS a Stark in Winterfell, the dead will rise, but they'll be under the command of the Stark in Winterfell, and they'll fight against the Other's army of the dead.
could be. i dont see the kings of winter rising though. and i dont believe anyone has special blood. so a "Stark in winterfell" wouldnt really mean anything in magical terms
I have to disagree about the blood. Drogon knew there was something special about Jon's blood. Melisandre showed that Stannis' blood could birth a monster. It's a common theme in sci-fi and fantasy that there are some with special qualities/powers handed down generation to generation. The man GRRM admired, Tolkien showed that the blood of the Númenóreans was special. A Tolkien tie-in would also apply to my theory: Aragorn, and ONLY Aragorn could summon the spirits of those on the Paths of the Dead to fight for him.
I love it, and it could be possible. Because of the trees. I think the trees have to do something with the Stark thing.
Also, what do you think will be the end of the series?
I think the giant will open it's eye.
Rodger P Na m8 bran is the night king so
@@random_eskimo_in_the_rockies in GOT bloodlines are important, for example, only Targaryens can ride dragons, and there is a lot of theory why specific Targaryens can while others cant, and it has a lot to do with the right genes handed down from generation to generation.
Night king is a Stark....did they start walking to fulfill..."A Stark should always be in the winterfell."
Nope. The Night King is no one.
Oh, man did I miss these vids! I’ve got some catching up to do.
Woohoo! All set! So excited)))
I believe When Theon said “Prince” he was referring to himself as Prince of the Iron Born.
Dual meaning
Grrm titles chapters for whoever has the POV. So we get theon 1, theon 2, etc
Then reek 1, reek 2, reek 3, then "the prince of winterfell"
It into what Jon said to him
You're a stark and you're a greyjoy. You don't have to choose
When there is no more Stark in Winterfel Winter Come I guess, the old brother from the north come down to clean it up.
Love your vids Brodie!
Always enjoy your videos. you said that you would continue and go over the north remembers in a later video. but I'm not sure which one that is
Totally blew my mind on the book listed "The (k)nights are dark and full of terror!!! and I just hear Melasandra repeating it over and over and she just get's "visions" or w/e but maybe she her interpretations are a little off as we know how well it went with Stannis. I believe she does hear "whispers" but her blinding faith doesn't make her try to figure out what the words she knows actually means. I think that she is human and fills in the "gaps" of her faith with her own interpretations and experiences and since she said she had a bad childhood she is very numb to pain and likely did not have much guidance.
Spot on
Congrats on 100K subscribers!
thanks =)))
You are very Welcome! Keep the great videos coming, they are the best on yt
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 can’t wait til the next installment. Thanks Kev.
Very interesting, I liked your explanations.
Thanks bryn. Is that your official name? Cool name and even cool spelling
@@bridge4 Was haha, I actually just had it officially changed! Thank you though
Is there a rough date for when Melissandre burned down her first godswood?
As far as I can tell this would be the timeline from the Others POV. most of it we already know
Pre-GoT:Mel breaks the pact
Prologue: Others send an emissary group to chat with Lord Stark, or maybe the Lord Commander. Instead they find Ser Royce, and after that went bad they decide that it's wartime
Fist: the Others find what they presume to be a preliminary first strike by the Nights Watch, so they go all out and destroy them(scarier still is if that wasn't their full strength at the time)
March to the Wall: the Others rout the Watch, and one of theirs is slain, and after that they seem to have backed off until Hardhome, but I haven't gotten that far yet so I don't know details of the attack.
But I'm guessing it was either to collect soldiers, or take a good strike opportunity while it was there
BUT.....if Mel wasn't responsible, since Stannis may not have hired her yet, then who? The Oldtown Red Priests? Thoros?
QuantumTap bravo mate I like that the sound of that!!!!!
I've heard theories that when the Wight Walkers were around thousands of years ago, they weren't actually physically defeated and driven off. Rather that some kind of deal was made with them.
We can be fairly sure that Starks were involved, probably even that the Night King IS a Stark. So the idea of such a deal involving the Starks is a pretty good bet.
So maybe that deal includes that agreement that there is always a Stark in Winterfell. It's not some code for anything, but quite literally a Stark physically being in Winterfell.
Your voice is so calming, I’m nye on falling asleep just listening to you!
How the hell after all this time ive subscribed to countless youtubers who break down GOT have i never seen your videos!?! Subscribed and notifications on
His voice is music to my ears
There is also another moment in season 7 where jon says to sansa before leaving for dragon ''You are my sister. You are the only Stark in Winterfell. Until I return the North is yours.''. Probably doens't change anything but I think it's important to consider anywa ys
Awesome video my friend, definitely giving some great insight and things to consider. Also congrats officially on the 100K
thanks, brotha!
Can't wait for the next video!
Season 1 episode 2 isn't the only time FYI. Robb explicitly states it again to Bran in Season 1 episode 8 too.
ArchieZeroOne yeah ano thought that also
Omfg your voice is soooo soothing 🤤 #subscribed
thanks =))
Same here 😁
Glad your going strong, good job man! Can't wait for Sanderson to put out our book food!
oh man. cannot wait for book 4 of stormlight! 4 and 5 should be huge because i think the series of 10 is actually two sub-sets of 5
Bridge FOUR!!! please tell me it’s from stormlight? Great videos just watch my first of many definitely. Any book recommendations if it is from stormlight?
I can’t wait till the season has aired and over with......then the follow up videos are going to be epic!!!!! I’d even bet a channel will pop up with a who got it more right! I’d even bet you got it right the most over all other channels. Nuff said.
My speculation is abnormal. So I'll either have the most or least correct :)
I always thought a crypt awakening to rise against the night king would be awesome to see. Kind of like how the reanimated hokages came back something like that
Rob uses the phrase when he's talking to Bran later in season 1, before he leaves with the army.
From the bridge four patreon will you do any videos on stormlight archive or any of sandersons cosmere? I really enjoy your videos and theories and would love to hear some ideas regarding the cosmere primarily tanavast and Hoid
After the crypts of winter fell teaser that dropped, this theory is even more believable!!!!
Rahul Puppala I bet we get to see the awakening of the crypts in this final season to face the nightking
Night king
I just wished I had that deep voice as you have Bridge4 dont care about the rest in my life, that deep voice.. gives me the chils for sure.
lol it only sounds like this when i read scripts into a mic. in real life, i have bad hearing. so i speak loudly (as if others are half deaf too) and because of that, i speak from my head instead of my gut. so my voice is higher and more annoying lol
So I read every bit of the stormlight archive (so far) and I've seen a number of your videos and it finally clicked... I'm slow.
Lol. You're not that slow. I've had literally dozens of people over the last couple years say "if you like high fantasy other than asoiaf, you should try out 'stormlight archive' by brandon sanderon"
I usually say something silly to try to give them a laugh.... like: "thanks for the heads up. Side note, say my channel name outloud"
And jokes aside, it's an interesting topic - The way our brains store data.
"Bridge4" verses "bridge four"
If I had done the latter, I bet it would register right away for most stormight fans simply cause of the way our brains work (I'm just guessing lol. Sounds right tho, right??)
Have you read edgedancer btw?
I have not, but it's coming. I'm trying not to read anything during the holidays as once I have a Sanderson in hand I become somewhat unavailable. Lol
Haha I hear ya. It's just a novella tho if that makes any difference. :))
So I did read it. I'll admit that lift is not my favorite POV character, but the world building is worth it.
Looking forward to it!
There's one more scene in season 2 when Robb said the same thing to Brandon
The most mystery theme in got. I am sure, kev bring us to the truth!!!
im pretty sure i got this, the north remembers, and the crypts. only time will tell tho =)
Ooh...I am sooo confused! I just started the books, but I'm also re-watching the series. I think I haven't read enough, yet, maybe. Can't wait for the next installment, though! Thanks, Kev!
Just found your channel, did you get the name Bridge4 from the stormlight archives?
You have the best voice I have heard on youtube.
Thanks, laura :))
God I forgot how impossibly intricate and amazing the.books are.
I reeeeeealy wish the books (any edition!!) had given about 2 inches of space lined at the bottom of each page. Cause in reading, I was seeing connections and remembering people and ideas. 3 lines at the bottom would surely beat any of my softcover book ed . where Damn near every page was scribbled and highlighted to bits.
I feel sorry for Martin having to move about all these separate strands of people, myths and truths and continue to weave each tiny detail into the story to flow along expertly. But he has a legion of ready volunteers on the net to help with outer strands. He seems to be a fan of the Checkohv's Gun Theory in writing
the file im using right now for the videos between now and the show is 1273 pages of quotes, notes, ideas, outlines, and rough draft. and i have a 234 page arya word doc for upcoming videos too lol
these books are so dense. i see new things every time i read a chapter =))
Well put
thanks =))
Your voice is PERFECT for narration!
What took me so long to find this gem of a channel?? 🤔
You're too kind :))
It says my app is too old to view......I think I'm too old to know what to do about it.
it goes live tuesday @12:30pm. its just a live chat until then (and this non live comment section)
Lol
Update your UA-cam app
@B4
Great Analysis. Thanks. Here's some thoughts not really necessary for your point, but that emphasize it:
The Maiden Girl's "Name-Day Gown" is GRRM's euphemism for today's "Birthday Suit" or "Naked as a Jaybird" phrases. Thus, if a pretty girl could walk down the main street in town with nothing on and nothing to fear, it meant that the Starks enforced the laws, which brought peace. And, as seen in the fact that travelers could find many good places to stay with sufficient food, etc., meant that the Starks also brought prosperity to their people and lands.
Wo0dy
Lannister, Targaryen, Baratheon, Stark, Tyrell, they're all just spokes on a wheel. This one's on top, then that one's on top, and on and on it spins, crushing those on the ground.
What if there must be always a Stark in winterfell means that those in the crypt aren t really dead
Read Martin's The Ice Dragon, it will hint at the origins and function of Winterfell.
Keep trying lol
Voice so smooth I was surprised to find out who it was. Just that Barry White sexy on a rando GOT vid got me shook for a second. lol
lol
Your voice just delicately slides through my ears like an eel underwater
Was a video detailing "The North Remembers" phrase uploaded? I haven't seen it and was just wondering.
