SHE HAD AIR SUPERIORITY. And how the ever living fuck did Euron get a perfect kill shot on a wobbly ass rocking boat, shooting at a distant flying object, on his FIRST TRY. No, everything about that ambush was so so so stupid.
Omg yess especially after Varys just reminded her before they left winterfell & she herself wanted to find it & sink it with her dragons just a few episodes prior smmfh
Even though I didn't care for Stanis either, I'm so thankful we had him. Cause without him, we wouldn't have Davos, who is such an underrated character in my onion. I just adore him.
Stannis was actually one of my favorite characters….he never changed who he was and he was an everlasting butt hole and never apologized and accepted his death
One of the issues with the ending of the show, it felt more like the producers/ brains of the show just didn’t want to kill off anymore main characters due to fans liking them. In reality Jon Snow would not have survived killing Daenerys, either by Drogon avenging his mother or the unsullied who followed there Queen, like hello Greyworm they would have killed Jon he would not have been released Same with Tyrion, absolute madness he was allowed to live, he let his brother free & disobeyed his Queen, They had us gagged with the red wedding by killing characters we liked But the end felt like they just were afraid to kill people, like cersei dying most of us wanted her to die but the death was so boring 😴 it felt like with fan favourites should have died irrespective of people liking them it should have been done, we should have felt WOAH not EH? 🤔
Jon Snow wouldn't have survived battle of bastards 😭 sansa herself could've taken winterfell herself (baelish is aligned with her and he has a giant vale army under him)
@@prajawalgurung6121 The fact that she didn’t tell him about the army meant thousands more died, and that they managed to sneak past moat cailin without any Bolton forces being aware is insane.
@@nathanlewis8034 if I were Tormund I'd be pissed as fuck, what do you mean you had an army 6 times mine and now most of my people are dead?! As for the scouts they just disappeared I guess 🤨
They also didn't want to have us not like the characters. Tyrion is darker in the books, and they had to dumb him down so hard to keep him nice and likeable.
Watching Bran struggle with that massive amount of knowledge flowing through him wouldve been SO MUCH more interesting for sure. Also you make such a good point about the three eyed raven character reset. It made his "i forgive you" to theon feel sadder snd empty too
i’m stopping my skin care routine now to say sth while i’m listening: i think the issue with the whole arya killing the night king instead of jon thing was that it was simply just made to be unexpected and nothing else. aryas arc was never about the white walkers so her killing them was just not a satisfying ending. and they kept on talking abt the prophecy and the prince that was promised. it would’ve been interesting if they went down the whole “fake prophecies” route like that would’ve been super interesting but they didn’t. they just rushed it and now we have a super unsatisfying ending to a massive storyline
Almost every character in the show is a simplified version of them in the books. Many of arcs of characters, were affected by the changes made in show as well as the books not being finished and D & D trying there best to continue their stories. And example of this is the whole Jamie arc, in the books Cersi begged Jamie to help her in a letter and he burned it (and didn’t help her). It also ties into the decision they made to cut of Lady Stoneheart (Catlyn) , affecting Briannes effect on Jamie. So overall the show was really good when it had more source material. Love that u got through all the seasons 🤍
With Bran, I saw it like, our experiences shape who we are. So, in him downloading the experiences of everyone ever, it changed him into someone else entirely. And he was sort of spacey because he’s so zoomed out at the big picture that the here and now is of little interest or consequence
Which is interesting, but I think when one of the major characters just kind of becomes an empty void for like 3 seasons it makes it uninteresting to watch. I like the idea of him changing cause of what he can see, but he just became so boring
@@maggierappa417probably why they didn’t spend too much time on him except to let you know what was up. The people who couldn’t handle a total of what 5 minutes max? Because it was boring, probably need medication.
I very much encourage you to watch the Game of Thrones Musical they did for Red Nose Day with Coldplay and some of the actors of the show (Emilia Clarke included). Its hilarious.
Brad if you watch The Corridor Crew “VFX Artists React: Game of Thrones CGI” video, you’ll find out how they filmed the Battle of the Bastards scene. it’s rather insane how it was all done tbf! a mix of practical and visual effects/CGI
From what i've seen, people who binge the show tend to like it a lot more than people who watched it over the years. New viewers are prepared to hate it and I think they expect worst, so it's a pleasant surprise at the end. We share a hatred of Bran, I really do need GRRM to flesh that out because it makes ZERO sense. How is a supernatural being a good King? Why? What is GRRM trying to say? The show turned him into a robot which didn't help. When it first aired I was half convinced that the 3 eyed raven was evil and him becoming King was all part of a grand conspiracy. It makes more sense than the whole best story nonsense
Facts. I've watched a ton of reactors and IMO, they rarely hate it as much the commenters warn them they will. I think it's because they're so far removed from the show's prime.
Yo I JUST binged your entire Patreon reaction to GOT and it was my first time ever watching it. I came into see if you posted a debrief vid and VOILA MY TIMING IS IMPECCABLE
While I do agree with your take about the High Sparrow wanting to humiliate Cersei (as a woman), he did make the High Septon do a walk of shame before we even met him. It’s how Cersei found out about him.
The black and red clothing is Targaryen drip, so its understandable Daenerys wearing her house color, but IMO they could have made it much more better.
love how no one just says "i wish Bran would have warged into a dragon. 😂😭 because thats all i wanted and the dude saying to him "you will never walk again but you will fly". Would have been so cool if he controled the blue eyed dragon man
I got a daenerys on the iron throne funko and it was so expensive omg. But im glad I got it because she's my fav character ever 🥹❤️ I neeeed the dany on drogon funko omg
Peak being 4-5-6, absolutely agree! People who say it ends after 4 are 🤯 The last few episodes of season 6 are some of the most amazing episodes of tv ever made
Season 5 is rough for me, I hate everything to do with the high sparrow and the Tyrells getting imprisoned. Plus everything that happens to Sansa in that season. Honestly, season 6 is my favorite and I don't even care if there was "fan service" in that season, I just wanted to see good things happen for the characters I liked.
@@Biwaterbender I feel like they could have done more with the faceless men stuff, but the sparrows were def the worst part of that time range, 6x10 is a masterclass in many ways lol
after season 4 they just didnt really adapt the last 2 books and the writinf took a step down. its not as good writing wise, there is good moments in 5-6 though
@@Biwaterbenderseason 5 is the setup for season 6. That's how you can get those great payoffs. I don't understand how in hindsight someone can hate the setup for a season they say they love? Makes no sense.
There’s 2 Dany on Drogon funko pops. There’s one from season 8 with her outfit and hair and Drogon breathing fire. There’s the Jon Snow on Rhaegal and then there’s also the Night King on Icy Viserion
I can explain the Sansa hate, like you said in season 1 she was the worst & shows the difference of how girls can be. Felt sorry for her from seasons 2-5, although I didn’t like that she CHOSE to go to winterfell & marry Ramsay. LF told her if she didn’t want to he’d turn the cart around & take her back to the Vale but she chose to go winterfell & marry the son of the man who killed her brother. I started to hate her in season 6 with letting so many northmen who were loyal to the Starks with the 1st call & wildlings die when she could’ve just told Jon about LF & the knights of the Vale. She was also naive to think all the northern houses would rally to her & Jon after the red wedding & the iron born invasion. Season 7 I really started to hate her with the beef with Arya. She knows damn well her sister NEVER wanted to be a lady let alone her! She also knew how manipulative & self serving LF was she said, “only a fool would trust Littlefinger” yet she trusted him. The actor who plays bran said they shot a scene of Sansa coming to him before she killed Arya to confirm LF story but they cut it for the surprise. She also wanted to take the ancestral home of northerners Karstark & Umber when she just fought to get hers back! Making the innocent children of those families homeless hostages as she once was which was awful. She undermined Jon in front of the northern lords & ladies. Season 8 cemented my forever hate! She had no reason to be so mean to Daenerys! She literally came to help them & without her they all would’ve died & marched with the night king! The north needed help more than any other kingdom & she was such a bitch & so ungrateful for Dany saving her life & the north! She betrayed Jon’s secret & then didn’t even bring it up as a potential ruler at the end! Not her or Sam or Tyrion said anything about Jon being a Targaryen! Then for her to want the north to be independent after her brother a stark sits the iron throne & they need to rebuild & be apart of the realm now more than ever! She didn’t deserve to be Queen of the north she didn’t earn it like Robb & Jon.
In regards to the Hodor reveal and even Dany in the last season I feel would have been even better or in Dany’s case would have made more sense character wise had GRRM finished the books and D&D had that rich source material to go off of. Yes they knew the ultimate end GRRM was building to but the seasons where they had the books as their guides are stronger and richer storytelling. The Battle of the Bastards is one of the best moments of the show and it would have been so thrilling to read that and see them reclaim their home after all that time. Hodor’s “Hold the Door” moment was amazing and was clearly this amazing reveal GRRM had planted the moment he was introduced and now when the book finally does come out (if ever) it won’t be as thrilling cause the show got there first. In regards to Tommen and what you said about Cersei - he was the sensitive one. The one who was easier to manipulate and mould how they needed. It’s why Cersei didn’t care - that and her revenge and lust for power meant more to her in that moment. She just justified it by thinking she’d be able to convince Tommen it was necessary after the fact. He’d been manipulated his whole life. Him taking his life is one of the only decisions he made for himself and was so resolute in that choice.
18 mins left and no mention of Theon? Fave character arc. My fave characters were the Hound, Oberon, Tywin, Sansa and Sam. And Ayra and Tyrion (until season 5). Loved the scenes btn Ayra and the Hound, and Ayra and Tywin.
Love your section regarding the LEWKS. The costuming in the show is absolutely incredible, kudos to the team for developing such distinct regional looks that serve both the in-world practical reasons they would dress the way they do, and giving each great house/region a visual identity. Sansa's entire story is told through her wardrobe, at first dressing and wearing her hair like Cersei, then imitating Margery, then going "dark Sansa" in the vale, to proudly repping her Direwolf sigil and fur cloaks. Seeing the Starks in their furs is perfection. Similarly, Dany wore a lot of blue in her conquering phase, white in her ruling phase, then did more black and red when she came to Westeros. Impeccable visual storytelling from the wardrobe.
One of the biggest character problems with the writing once they ran out of source material was that, within the narrative, men were judged by medieval standards and women were judged by modern standards. Aside from that, the writing for women was very misogynistic in other ways, such as every “good” female character in the end being emotionless, and the women who experience emotion are painted as evil specifically because they feel emotion. And the fact that the writers said that the reason Sansa hated Daenerys was because Daenerys was beautiful and Sansa was jealous-just the writers generally being bad people.
I think for me the issue with Sansa is that “trauma isn’t growth” and she didn’t come to her growth as a character because she wanted to but because it was her reactions to being traumatized you know?
Almost like that’s what happens in real life? People are forced out of their comfort zone and assimilate. Did you expect her to just one day wake up and decide she didn’t want to be a naive girl anymore for no reason…..?
Yes I get that and have experienced this type of reason myself unfortunately but I just don’t think Sansa would make a good leader because she presents as selfish to me and not someone who has confronted anything she’s experienced and why she’s changed.
1:25:17 Sansa didn’t want Winterfell to be independent for any random or petty reason but because it was independent before the Targaryens came and she would like to restore that. Especially because the north has always been very separated from the rest of Westeros due to its size and different climate etc.. and same goes for Dorne and the Iron Islands so it’s a bit stupid they didn’t ask for independence because why wouldn’t they after fighting against unification and the Targaryens for so long?? (Especially Dorne who the Targaryens couldn’t even conquer back in Aegon’s day since their resistance was so strong! They only joined much much later through a marriage iirc). Oh and I’d say Bran being on the throne doesn’t matter anyway since they won’t choose by bloodline anymore AND I don’t believe Sansa ever cared too much about the north being under her leadership specifically and more about her people gaining the independence they deserve and that they had.
For me.. with Ari killing the Night King.. the whole thing was berric had been brought back to help her. Jon was brought back to help her. Everything the lord of light did in resurrection was to help HER. So it makes sense to me.
This was a very fair and balanced assessment, Brad. Even where I disagreed, I could understand your reasoning. Enjoyed rewatching with you and I'm looking forward to HotD.
My favorite part of got was when they went to nab up a dead man to bring back as proof, only to lose a dragon and then Cersei didn’t commit her army regardless, so that mission was for nothing. So losing that dragon lead to the wall falling and the dead gained access to the southern lands and it could have been avoided 🤷🏻♂️
Not understanding cercei’s motivation with her kids: her defining character trait in the books is that she thinks she’s playing 3d chess, but she’s actually just eating a game of checkers 😂
I don't believe it was Bran who was king, but rather the spirit of Brynden Rivers. Brynden Rivers, called Lord Bloodraven, was the bastard son of King Aegon IV Targaryen by his sixth mistress, Lady Melissa Blackwood. He had two older sisters, Mya and Gwenys, and numerous half-siblings. As his mother was highborn, Brynden was counted among the Great Bastards. Like his bastard siblings, Brynden was legitimized by King Aegon IV in 184 BC. Brynden's personal arms were a white dragon with red eyes breathing red flame on a black field. Brynden was a Targaryen loyalist during the Blackfyre Rebellions. He served as the Hand of the King to King Aerys I Targaryen and King Maekar I Targaryen. He was eventually sent to the Night's Watch by King Aegon V Targaryen, where he rose to the position of Lord Commander. Brynden was elected as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch in 239 AC. However, in 252 AC, he disappeared while ranging beyond the Wall.
Bran: I can't be king of anything, I'm the 3 eyed raven. Also Bran: Why do you think I came all this way? (When made king). Bran again: And I don't want to be king (when Tyrion says he doesn't wanna be hand). What the actual f**k?
I know I’m in a minority here, but I actually thought most of the ending was about right. It was rushed, for sure, and I’m not sold on Bran becoming King (although the book and Bran the Builder theories makes this more plausible) but the rest of it I wasn’t mad at.
Bran being king is probably the only thing I vehemently hate. I wasn't even mad about Arya killing the night king, though I certainly understand why others were.
With the north being its own kingdom I think it’s mostly to do with the north not wanting to be apart of a larger kingdom but rather returning to their state as a free region. That’s why rob went to war in the beginning in part, to free the north and make it its own sovereign nation
I wanna watch this so badly, but i have to work in 6 hours and haven't really slept yet... 😩 I'm almost certainly gonna fall asleep before finishing the video, but I'll definitely rewatch after I get off work!
I always thought Bran got broken by what happened to Hodor. And he wasn't developed in the ego part to have a tug of war with the 3 eyed raven, or the spirit. So idk I never hated Bran, I feel like he's that little weight that inspires people around him who lack faith. Just by his presence, by staying alive. When people get all spiritual they learn to forgive and forget, yeah it's not exciting, but it's an portant trait to have. He probably knew about Jamie getting his, and Cersei losing all her kids and goin through shyte, and focused on more important matters.
I do not feel they abandoned Arya’s story. Her training gave her the tools to fight the Whities and move past all the Walkers to get to the Night King. Jon was brought back to life to save the realm from Dany. It was all about destiny.
I toally agree with your overall season ratings. I really found it hard to connect to anything really in S01 and S02, and honestly found them both quite boring and very difficult to care for anyone. Maybe because I wasn't used to this type of storytelling but then S03 came and oooooh boy FFFFF MEEEEEE....I'm so jealous of people who get to experience that moment for the first time. GoT is to me the greatest TV series of all time and I dont think S07 and S08 should be allowed to ruin the shows legacy. Sure, season 8 sucked ass.....in hindsight...because I for sure had fun watching it on sundays.
WHOOO asked why the targaryen’s think they have a claim to the throne???!? ageon TARGARYEN begat the iron throne… THE TARGARYEN’S MADE THE IRON THRONE, KINGS LANDING, AND THE RED KEEP… THEY MADE EVERYTHING. that’s why wtf?
@@jjh2456 you just wanted to yap huh? hard of reading??? i even put the sht in caps and it’s still hard?? they made the throne who gaf who took/lost it, its THEIRS, THEY MADE EVERYTHING.
The woman in the mask was Quaith, the show abandoned that plot line after one appearance 🤦🏻♀️ Her connection and communication to Daeny is much more important and interesting in the books 🫠
I think when one rewatches the show then you realize the drastic chenge because that's what happen to me. At first watch I enjoyed every season until 7 and then te watched another time and it hit me that things where going to shit since 5 ahah
Brad boo nobody shits on the crew the spectacle was awesome! Our problem was the writing! We only hated the writing & we had every right to criticize & it was fair. Nobody said anything about the acting or the visuals it was specifically about the shitty writing. We call the writers dumb & dumber & only hate them as we should 🤷🏾♀️😂
I adore your perspective and defense of Sansa. I agree! I think you are supposed to dislike her at the beginning but the poor girl actually thought the Lanisters were nice. She was a child she didn't know.
Exactly! She was a young girl dreaming of being anywhere but where she was, an incredibly familiar tale. The south was romanticized compared to what she knew of the north, and she was offered the chance to be a princess - the early childhood dream of so many young girls irl. She was so incredibly intelligent in learning how to play the game to survive in King's Landing, saying exactly what needed to be said to protect herself. Of course she made missteps like trusting Littlefinger, but she wasn't operating with the knowledge that the viewers had.
I do believe that for Sansa in s8 it was less her want to be queen and more just her want to have the best outcome for her people that made her clash with Daenerys. The North had just become ‘independent’ and she wanted to keep it that way for her people. Daenerys being queen of all seven kingdoms would mean the end of that once more
To be fair, I think she will probably lose it in the books too, it will just make a lot more sense. I can see things like Faegon being a better wrench in the world than Jon, who’s already devoted to her, and doesn’t want it (in the show at least). She won’t just randomly decide to kill civilians just as she wins the war for no reason.
Treat her what way? I’m actually sick of you people feeling like a tragic ending is somehow disrespectful to the character. Did you think he built an entire dynasty with the motto of fire and blood and a history of them going insane for no reason…? Cope. Her arc was 100x more entertaining this way than if they had just given us a sappy happy ending with her on the throne she was so obsessed with. The entire moral of the story is supposed to be life is cruel and monarchy is terrible. Like get a clue.
@@a.j.1819no i'm sorry, her ENTIRE arc (especially in the books) is about ENDING tyranny, and being the antithesis of her ancestors. Her going mad with power, killing random civilians just seasons ago that she would have done anything for, and believing herself to be some sort of 'chosen one' are everything george was writing against. especially when they were written, books having a female protagonist were almost never done, and when a woman did have power she was usually seen as the villain or 'mad'. Daenerys won't have a happy ending on the throne, and no one really expects that. she very clearly is going to sacrifice herself to stop the long night, and the others are definitely not immune to dragon flame. the targaryens do NOT have a history of going mad, not anymore then most dynasties of the real world. this wasn't a "tragic ending", this was a character assassination done on the back burners of horrible writing.
@@user-bk9bs3oc8cthese types always d ride the starks when they do worse things than dany did. Shes villainized bc she got a weapon no one else has and and shes a woman. Ppl were always gonna root against her even if she didnt burn the city. Double standards man.
The main 2 things i hear people complain about season 8 is 1. Arya killing the night king and 2. Dany turning to the dark side. I’m probably in the minority here but I didn’t hate the idea of Dany having a mad queen arc it was just obviously super rushed. Arya killing the night king is WAY more infuriating to me than the shit with Dany. I can’t stand people that say that if your mad Arya killed the night king your “sexist” and had “unreasonable expectations” literally has NOTHING to do with why fans were upset. So you mean to tell me they hyped up the night king and the white walkers for 8 SEASONS to then have them be killed off in ONE EPISODE, absolutely not. I along with MANY other fans expected the entirety of season 8 to focus on the white walkers and diving deeper into the lore behind them and what the night kings TRUE motives were. The whole season loses ALL its momentum as soon as they kill the night king because then at that point it’s just like oh so the rest of the season is about going to war with Cersei, BORING AF NO ONE ASKED FOR THIS.
What you wanted is quite literally the definition of unreasonable expectations. You were never gonna get a whole season about the white walkers. You won't get it in the books, ever, and if, somehow, they reboot the show in our lifetimes, they won't do a season long arc about the white walkers then either. Extended white walker lore? Now that sounds really boring. It's a chapter at most.
@@pieceofdebri bro there’s no way you thought Cersei was a more interesting villain than the night king. Literally from episode one the show established how powerful the white walkers are and set the tone for the rest of the series. We had 7 seasons of politics and war between all the houses and slowly building up the night king and the white walkers growing their army. I don’t think it’s an unreasonable ask to expect the final season to mainly focus on the night king and white walkers after 7 seasons of politics my guy lol. I’m not saying the political side of the show was bad by any means in fact most got fans would say that it was the shows strength. With that said however they intentionally built up the white walkers as this “unstoppable force” that no one stands a chance against and you mean to tell me arya magically teleported past all of the night kings guards and not one of them noticed? Nah bro they did the night king dirty my man lol.
This is definitely biased since book Jaime is my favourite character in the series, but there is NO way that his story will end like it did in s8. I strongly believe in the popular theory that he will actually be the one to kill Cersei.
I rewatch it every year and still love all of it. Dany turning evil was the most entertaining arc and I would have actually been mad had they given us a predictable ending with her on the throne. Emilia’s best acting was the tyrant speech. Bran on the throne is anticlimactic but it makes sense for the people he’s going to rule. Safe choice. Jon got to do what he always wanted to do. Be with/protect his people.
(1) The High Sparrow would never have happened if Tywin was alive. (2) Oberin should've just shut up and taken out the mountain. (3) Danny didn't understand that you have to take into consideration other peoples cultures. Remember that slave that was a valued member of his master's family for many years. He couldn't do that anymore and he had no other means to provide for himself. He wanted to go back to being a slave. Danny hadn't even taken that into consideration at all. (4) Danny didn't take anyone's counsel. She had many people around her from Westeros and they tried to talk to her about her father's downfall, how the country works, ect. All she focused on was the throne. Something she gave 2 shits about until her brother was killed. She had no right to the throne because Robert took it by right of conquest. Think William the Conqueror or Henry VII. (5) Azor Hi (or however it's spelled) was really the blade. It didn't matter who wielded it. Discuss amongst yourselves... (6) Blind ambition or religious fanatasism works out for no one. Danny, Cerci, Stanis, Melisandra and the high sparrow are just a few examples. (7) Kat is an idiot and made so many bad decisions.
I enjoyed season 7, but season 8 was just way too rushed. I think the exact plot of season 8 could have worked over 10 episodes and more time to develop the Long Night and Dany's downfall.
I've definitely linked this in a Brad video before, but now that we're at the end, I'll link it again. This is a video essay on how GOT should have ended. It's long, but I was totally captivated. The author manages to keep true to the characters' personalities and link in backstories and forgotten storylines to create a really good GOT finale. There was only one character storyline I disagreed with but you're never going to be 100% and different people like different things. But if you have time to spare definitely give this video a go! It was fun to listen to whilst I tidied the house, and now this is the GOT ending that lives in my head. ua-cam.com/video/MbSd3hsUDdk/v-deo.htmlsi=_h5pZ7wSZlHNHzof 'I rewrote got infamous ending and people loved it' - uniquenameosaurous
That video is so dumb it's laughable. The fact that you people think an ending that involves entitled and throne obsessed Daenerys KNEELING to CERSEI to "save the people" is somehow more in line with how she's acted all series is insane. You were not paying attention to her at all. You saw what you wanted to see and thought her understanding slavery = bad somehow made her an angel or even a good ruler. The lack of media literacy you people have is insane. Dany fans are the real life equivilants to people supporting tyrans and dictators just because they're charismatic and captivating.
@@georgia.sian.clarke Typical generic, empty response. Your opinion is based on a lack of observation skills which you don't even understand even after it's been explained to you. Misunderstanding the media you watch is not "an opinion". Jfc.

@@georgia.sian.clarkeAre you actually stupid? Why do you not understand that what you’re saying is not just “an opinion”?

You’d have to understand something to form a qualified opinion on it and clearly you did not understand the message of GOT.
😒I hate Sansa and will die on that hill, a Disney dress, broken oaths and trauma don't make one a good leader...but then again I pretty much hate EVERYONE's arc in season 8 bc the writers ruined them all so much...I even hate the sniveling wimpy Sam, but most of all I felt bad for Brienne...discarded like a lovesick fangirl...Brienne would never have slept with Jamie, their admiration and respect for each other was more chivalrous, not one that called for a roll in the hay.
Danaerys character was not butchered. People weren’t paying attention when she wanted to burn the masters cities down INCLUDING THE INNOCENTS back in Mereen and had to be talked out of it. The signs were always there and people are childish for appreciating a sappy saviour story but not a realistic tragedy.
🙄🙄🙄sappy? Like Sansa in a Disney dress? Like Jon going to the wildlings? Like Arya sailing into a sunset? Your take is childish...it was badly badly written...no, Dany would not randomly burn kids...a strong personality does not equate turning full H!tler from one episode to the next😅
“I never saw/wanted Jon as king” I don’t know about choosing the impulsive girl who always had to be persuaded from using violence over the one who literally gave his life to unite people for the greater good. People see the common sense to see slavery = bad, cool dragons and think ah yes that makes a good ruler
😂normie take, Jon is a simp, Dany's arc was ruined as well, it was so badly written, no matter how much "foreshadowing" people howl about. "Impulsive girl" just screams misogyny ... how many times was she given horrible advice, how many times did she reign in her decisions and given people a choice.
I will never forget D&D saying that dany kind of forgot about the iron fleet
SHE HAD AIR SUPERIORITY. And how the ever living fuck did Euron get a perfect kill shot on a wobbly ass rocking boat, shooting at a distant flying object, on his FIRST TRY. No, everything about that ambush was so so so stupid.
And we should never let them forget it either!!!
Omg yess especially after Varys just reminded her before they left winterfell & she herself wanted to find it & sink it with her dragons just a few episodes prior smmfh
Even though I didn't care for Stanis either, I'm so thankful we had him. Cause without him, we wouldn't have Davos, who is such an underrated character in my onion. I just adore him.
"in my onion" oh my god did u do that on purpose lmao cuz that's gold 😂
@@katrinaceleste lmao 🤣 omg....I didn't! Autocorrect actually working in my favor today or knew, that was just the right thing to say. I'm dead now 💀
Thats an amazing autocorrect!
Stannis was actually one of my favorite characters….he never changed who he was and he was an everlasting butt hole and never apologized and accepted his death
Davos was my freakin' dude. Best negotiator/hype man ever. 😂
One of the issues with the ending of the show, it felt more like the producers/ brains of the show just didn’t want to kill off anymore main characters due to fans liking them. In reality Jon Snow would not have survived killing Daenerys, either by Drogon avenging his mother or the unsullied who followed there Queen, like hello Greyworm they would have killed Jon he would not have been released
Same with Tyrion, absolute madness he was allowed to live, he let his brother free & disobeyed his Queen, They had us gagged with the red wedding by killing characters we liked
But the end felt like they just were afraid to kill people, like cersei dying most of us wanted her to die but the death was so boring 😴 it felt like with fan favourites should have died irrespective of people liking them it should have been done, we should have felt WOAH not EH? 🤔
And let’s not forget the Dothraki, all of whom were named Daenerys’ bloodriders, so it should literally be their only desire to kill him afterwards.
Jon Snow wouldn't have survived battle of bastards 😭 sansa herself could've taken winterfell herself (baelish is aligned with her and he has a giant vale army under him)
@@prajawalgurung6121 The fact that she didn’t tell him about the army meant thousands more died, and that they managed to sneak past moat cailin without any Bolton forces being aware is insane.
@@nathanlewis8034 if I were Tormund I'd be pissed as fuck, what do you mean you had an army 6 times mine and now most of my people are dead?! As for the scouts they just disappeared I guess 🤨
They also didn't want to have us not like the characters. Tyrion is darker in the books, and they had to dumb him down so hard to keep him nice and likeable.
Watching Bran struggle with that massive amount of knowledge flowing through him wouldve been SO MUCH more interesting for sure.
Also you make such a good point about the three eyed raven character reset. It made his "i forgive you" to theon feel sadder snd empty too
i’m stopping my skin care routine now to say sth while i’m listening: i think the issue with the whole arya killing the night king instead of jon thing was that it was simply just made to be unexpected and nothing else. aryas arc was never about the white walkers so her killing them was just not a satisfying ending. and they kept on talking abt the prophecy and the prince that was promised. it would’ve been interesting if they went down the whole “fake prophecies” route like that would’ve been super interesting but they didn’t. they just rushed it and now we have a super unsatisfying ending to a massive storyline
This ^ all of this
Almost every character in the show is a simplified version of them in the books. Many of arcs of characters, were affected by the changes made in show as well as the books not being finished and D & D trying there best to continue their stories. And example of this is the whole Jamie arc, in the books Cersi begged Jamie to help her in a letter and he burned it (and didn’t help her). It also ties into the decision they made to cut of Lady Stoneheart (Catlyn) , affecting Briannes effect on Jamie. So overall the show was really good when it had more source material. Love that u got through all the seasons 🤍
With Bran, I saw it like, our experiences shape who we are. So, in him downloading the experiences of everyone ever, it changed him into someone else entirely. And he was sort of spacey because he’s so zoomed out at the big picture that the here and now is of little interest or consequence
Which is interesting, but I think when one of the major characters just kind of becomes an empty void for like 3 seasons it makes it uninteresting to watch. I like the idea of him changing cause of what he can see, but he just became so boring
100%
@@maggierappa417probably why they didn’t spend too much time on him except to let you know what was up. The people who couldn’t handle a total of what 5 minutes max? Because it was boring, probably need medication.
Your opinion on this just proves the show did Jaime SO DIRTY. Like this guy in the book is on a drastically different journey. Trust.
I very much encourage you to watch the Game of Thrones Musical they did for Red Nose Day with Coldplay and some of the actors of the show (Emilia Clarke included). Its hilarious.
the way my first thought for what would happen if a season 9 existed, was for Bran to be killed off 😂😂
Brad if you watch The Corridor Crew “VFX Artists React: Game of Thrones CGI” video, you’ll find out how they filmed the Battle of the Bastards scene. it’s rather insane how it was all done tbf! a mix of practical and visual effects/CGI
From what i've seen, people who binge the show tend to like it a lot more than people who watched it over the years. New viewers are prepared to hate it and I think they expect worst, so it's a pleasant surprise at the end.
We share a hatred of Bran, I really do need GRRM to flesh that out because it makes ZERO sense. How is a supernatural being a good King? Why? What is GRRM trying to say? The show turned him into a robot which didn't help. When it first aired I was half convinced that the 3 eyed raven was evil and him becoming King was all part of a grand conspiracy. It makes more sense than the whole best story nonsense
Facts. I've watched a ton of reactors and IMO, they rarely hate it as much the commenters warn them they will. I think it's because they're so far removed from the show's prime.
Also, Dany saying she was going to ‘liberate’ Winterfell, then everywhere else, from ‘tyrants’ (AKA, Sansa), was chilling.
I’m so excited to hear your thoughts on this! Your reaction to the final episode was what I expected lol
Yo I JUST binged your entire Patreon reaction to GOT and it was my first time ever watching it. I came into see if you posted a debrief vid and VOILA MY TIMING IS IMPECCABLE
While I do agree with your take about the High Sparrow wanting to humiliate Cersei (as a woman), he did make the High Septon do a walk of shame before we even met him. It’s how Cersei found out about him.
I have every Jon Snow Funko and other figures including Jon riding the dragon! You will love it! It's cool! 😊
The black and red clothing is Targaryen drip, so its understandable Daenerys wearing her house color, but IMO they could have made it much more better.
love how no one just says "i wish Bran would have warged into a dragon. 😂😭 because thats all i wanted and the dude saying to him "you will never walk again but you will fly". Would have been so cool if he controled the blue eyed dragon man
Oh my god your vision is impeccable
I got a daenerys on the iron throne funko and it was so expensive omg. But im glad I got it because she's my fav character ever 🥹❤️ I neeeed the dany on drogon funko omg
Peak being 4-5-6, absolutely agree! People who say it ends after 4 are 🤯
The last few episodes of season 6 are some of the most amazing episodes of tv ever made
Season 5 is rough for me, I hate everything to do with the high sparrow and the Tyrells getting imprisoned. Plus everything that happens to Sansa in that season. Honestly, season 6 is my favorite and I don't even care if there was "fan service" in that season, I just wanted to see good things happen for the characters I liked.
@@Biwaterbender I feel like they could have done more with the faceless men stuff, but the sparrows were def the worst part of that time range, 6x10 is a masterclass in many ways lol
after season 4 they just didnt really adapt the last 2 books and the writinf took a step down. its not as good writing wise, there is good moments in 5-6 though
100 agree. It picks up Season 4 and peaks at 6x10
@@Biwaterbenderseason 5 is the setup for season 6. That's how you can get those great payoffs. I don't understand how in hindsight someone can hate the setup for a season they say they love? Makes no sense.
There’s 2 Dany on Drogon funko pops. There’s one from season 8 with her outfit and hair and Drogon breathing fire. There’s the Jon Snow on Rhaegal and then there’s also the Night King on Icy Viserion
Honestly this just makes me want to go back and rewatch the entirety of your Game of Thrones reactions lol
I’m so excited to see you react to House of Dragon and just see your reaction and see how you feel about the show and the way they told the story
Brad when we doing house of the dragon king ?!
He says it will be after Oct
I can explain the Sansa hate, like you said in season 1 she was the worst & shows the difference of how girls can be. Felt sorry for her from seasons 2-5, although I didn’t like that she CHOSE to go to winterfell & marry Ramsay. LF told her if she didn’t want to he’d turn the cart around & take her back to the Vale but she chose to go winterfell & marry the son of the man who killed her brother. I started to hate her in season 6 with letting so many northmen who were loyal to the Starks with the 1st call & wildlings die when she could’ve just told Jon about LF & the knights of the Vale. She was also naive to think all the northern houses would rally to her & Jon after the red wedding & the iron born invasion.
Season 7 I really started to hate her with the beef with Arya. She knows damn well her sister NEVER wanted to be a lady let alone her! She also knew how manipulative & self serving LF was she said, “only a fool would trust Littlefinger” yet she trusted him. The actor who plays bran said they shot a scene of Sansa coming to him before she killed Arya to confirm LF story but they cut it for the surprise. She also wanted to take the ancestral home of northerners Karstark & Umber when she just fought to get hers back! Making the innocent children of those families homeless hostages as she once was which was awful. She undermined Jon in front of the northern lords & ladies.
Season 8 cemented my forever hate! She had no reason to be so mean to Daenerys! She literally came to help them & without her they all would’ve died & marched with the night king! The north needed help more than any other kingdom & she was such a bitch & so ungrateful for Dany saving her life & the north! She betrayed Jon’s secret & then didn’t even bring it up as a potential ruler at the end! Not her or Sam or Tyrion said anything about Jon being a Targaryen! Then for her to want the north to be independent after her brother a stark sits the iron throne & they need to rebuild & be apart of the realm now more than ever! She didn’t deserve to be Queen of the north she didn’t earn it like Robb & Jon.
agree w/ all of this
@@corsicanlulu thanks I don’t get why people even like her 🤷🏾♀️😂
@@tytybaby06 yeah especially the dany vs. sansa part it really pissed me off. so uncalled for how sansa treated dany
@@corsicanlulu facts
She just a weak version of Cersei Lannister in last seasons, she was really appreciated her, even in hate
In regards to the Hodor reveal and even Dany in the last season I feel would have been even better or in Dany’s case would have made more sense character wise had GRRM finished the books and D&D had that rich source material to go off of. Yes they knew the ultimate end GRRM was building to but the seasons where they had the books as their guides are stronger and richer storytelling.
The Battle of the Bastards is one of the best moments of the show and it would have been so thrilling to read that and see them reclaim their home after all that time. Hodor’s “Hold the Door” moment was amazing and was clearly this amazing reveal GRRM had planted the moment he was introduced and now when the book finally does come out (if ever) it won’t be as thrilling cause the show got there first.
In regards to Tommen and what you said about Cersei - he was the sensitive one. The one who was easier to manipulate and mould how they needed. It’s why Cersei didn’t care - that and her revenge and lust for power meant more to her in that moment. She just justified it by thinking she’d be able to convince Tommen it was necessary after the fact. He’d been manipulated his whole life. Him taking his life is one of the only decisions he made for himself and was so resolute in that choice.
They didn’t know the ending George told them a few things such as shireens death hodors reveal and bran being the final king
18 mins left and no mention of Theon? Fave character arc. My fave characters were the Hound, Oberon, Tywin, Sansa and Sam. And Ayra and Tyrion (until season 5). Loved the scenes btn Ayra and the Hound, and Ayra and Tywin.
Love your section regarding the LEWKS. The costuming in the show is absolutely incredible, kudos to the team for developing such distinct regional looks that serve both the in-world practical reasons they would dress the way they do, and giving each great house/region a visual identity. Sansa's entire story is told through her wardrobe, at first dressing and wearing her hair like Cersei, then imitating Margery, then going "dark Sansa" in the vale, to proudly repping her Direwolf sigil and fur cloaks. Seeing the Starks in their furs is perfection. Similarly, Dany wore a lot of blue in her conquering phase, white in her ruling phase, then did more black and red when she came to Westeros. Impeccable visual storytelling from the wardrobe.
One of the biggest character problems with the writing once they ran out of source material was that, within the narrative, men were judged by medieval standards and women were judged by modern standards. Aside from that, the writing for women was very misogynistic in other ways, such as every “good” female character in the end being emotionless, and the women who experience emotion are painted as evil specifically because they feel emotion. And the fact that the writers said that the reason Sansa hated Daenerys was because Daenerys was beautiful and Sansa was jealous-just the writers generally being bad people.
I don't understand the Sansa hate either, she's one of my favorite characters.
I think for me the issue with Sansa is that “trauma isn’t growth” and she didn’t come to her growth as a character because she wanted to but because it was her reactions to being traumatized you know?
Almost like that’s what happens in real life? People are forced out of their comfort zone and assimilate. Did you expect her to just one day wake up and decide she didn’t want to be a naive girl anymore for no reason…..?
Yes I get that and have experienced this type of reason myself unfortunately but I just don’t think Sansa would make a good leader because she presents as selfish to me and not someone who has confronted anything she’s experienced and why she’s changed.
The perfect video to do Sunday cleaning to!! I am excited!
You should watch the video “How Game of Thrones Should Have Ended” by Think Story
1:25:17 Sansa didn’t want Winterfell to be independent for any random or petty reason but because it was independent before the Targaryens came and she would like to restore that. Especially because the north has always been very separated from the rest of Westeros due to its size and different climate etc.. and same goes for Dorne and the Iron Islands so it’s a bit stupid they didn’t ask for independence because why wouldn’t they after fighting against unification and the Targaryens for so long?? (Especially Dorne who the Targaryens couldn’t even conquer back in Aegon’s day since their resistance was so strong! They only joined much much later through a marriage iirc).
Oh and I’d say Bran being on the throne doesn’t matter anyway since they won’t choose by bloodline anymore AND I don’t believe Sansa ever cared too much about the north being under her leadership specifically and more about her people gaining the independence they deserve and that they had.
So excited to see this video! Hope we get the House of the dragon reaction soon as well ❤️
31:02 honestly same..I get goosebumps just thinking about his whole story 😢so sad
28:40 Because the Three Eye Raven was Brynden Rivers, a Targaryen bastard, he was born with a birth mark on his face in a form of a raven/crow.
Will u do a tier list for the show for like the best episodes or scenes
For me.. with Ari killing the Night King.. the whole thing was berric had been brought back to help her. Jon was brought back to help her. Everything the lord of light did in resurrection was to help HER. So it makes sense to me.
This was a very fair and balanced assessment, Brad. Even where I disagreed, I could understand your reasoning. Enjoyed rewatching with you and I'm looking forward to HotD.
My favorite part of got was when they went to nab up a dead man to bring back as proof, only to lose a dragon and then Cersei didn’t commit her army regardless, so that mission was for nothing. So losing that dragon lead to the wall falling and the dead gained access to the southern lands and it could have been avoided 🤷🏻♂️
Not understanding cercei’s motivation with her kids: her defining character trait in the books is that she thinks she’s playing 3d chess, but she’s actually just eating a game of checkers 😂
I don't believe it was Bran who was king, but rather the spirit of Brynden Rivers. Brynden Rivers, called Lord Bloodraven, was the bastard son of King Aegon IV Targaryen by his sixth mistress, Lady Melissa Blackwood. He had two older sisters, Mya and Gwenys, and numerous half-siblings. As his mother was highborn, Brynden was counted among the Great Bastards. Like his bastard siblings, Brynden was legitimized by King Aegon IV in 184 BC. Brynden's personal arms were a white dragon with red eyes breathing red flame on a black field.
Brynden was a Targaryen loyalist during the Blackfyre Rebellions. He served as the Hand of the King to King Aerys I Targaryen and King Maekar I Targaryen. He was eventually sent to the Night's Watch by King Aegon V Targaryen, where he rose to the position of Lord Commander.
Brynden was elected as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch in 239 AC. However, in 252 AC, he disappeared while ranging beyond the Wall.
my mom knows I love got so she suprised me w/ a themed funko… OF BRAN !!! 😂😭 I still in the box in one of my drawers I have yet to acknowledge it 💀💀
Bran: I can't be king of anything, I'm the 3 eyed raven.
Also Bran: Why do you think I came all this way? (When made king).
Bran again: And I don't want to be king (when Tyrion says he doesn't wanna be hand).
What the actual f**k?
I know I’m in a minority here, but I actually thought most of the ending was about right. It was rushed, for sure, and I’m not sold on Bran becoming King (although the book and Bran the Builder theories makes this more plausible) but the rest of it I wasn’t mad at.
Bran being king is probably the only thing I vehemently hate. I wasn't even mad about Arya killing the night king, though I certainly understand why others were.
Not us having the same cup set from Amazon with the glass strawssss 😂💁🏼♀️
Hope you do a part 5 of until dawn or play the walking dead and start an entire season for it that one is pretty really good.
Missed the premiere but am so excited to watch this!
With the north being its own kingdom I think it’s mostly to do with the north not wanting to be apart of a larger kingdom but rather returning to their state as a free region. That’s why rob went to war in the beginning in part, to free the north and make it its own sovereign nation
I wanna watch this so badly, but i have to work in 6 hours and haven't really slept yet... 😩 I'm almost certainly gonna fall asleep before finishing the video, but I'll definitely rewatch after I get off work!
I always thought Bran got broken by what happened to Hodor. And he wasn't developed in the ego part to have a tug of war with the 3 eyed raven, or the spirit. So idk I never hated Bran, I feel like he's that little weight that inspires people around him who lack faith. Just by his presence, by staying alive. When people get all spiritual they learn to forgive and forget, yeah it's not exciting, but it's an portant trait to have. He probably knew about Jamie getting his, and Cersei losing all her kids and goin through shyte, and focused on more important matters.
that coffee looks BOMB
I do not feel they abandoned Arya’s story. Her training gave her the tools to fight the Whities and move past all the Walkers to get to the Night King.
Jon was brought back to life to save the realm from Dany. It was all about destiny.
Why do those cups look like flower vases? Loving
PAHAHAHAHAH
I toally agree with your overall season ratings. I really found it hard to connect to anything really in S01 and S02, and honestly found them both quite boring and very difficult to care for anyone. Maybe because I wasn't used to this type of storytelling but then S03 came and oooooh boy FFFFF MEEEEEE....I'm so jealous of people who get to experience that moment for the first time. GoT is to me the greatest TV series of all time and I dont think S07 and S08 should be allowed to ruin the shows legacy. Sure, season 8 sucked ass.....in hindsight...because I for sure had fun watching it on sundays.
we need ur reaction to house of the dragon
WHOOO asked why the targaryen’s think they have a claim to the throne???!? ageon TARGARYEN begat the iron throne… THE TARGARYEN’S MADE THE IRON THRONE, KINGS LANDING, AND THE RED KEEP… THEY MADE EVERYTHING. that’s why wtf?
But they were deposed. So they no longer have a claim to that throne.
@@jjh2456 you just wanted to yap huh? hard of reading??? i even put the sht in caps and it’s still hard?? they made the throne who gaf who took/lost it, its THEIRS, THEY MADE EVERYTHING.
I saw you in Leeds at the weekend but didn’t want to disturb you, you looked incredibleeee🤌🏾
The woman in the mask was Quaith, the show abandoned that plot line after one appearance 🤦🏻♀️
Her connection and communication to Daeny is much more important and interesting in the books 🫠
I think when one rewatches the show then you realize the drastic chenge because that's what happen to me. At first watch I enjoyed every season until 7 and then te watched another time and it hit me that things where going to shit since 5 ahah
100% agree ❤️❤️❤️
Omg you’re gonna lovvvvve house of the dragon
Brad boo nobody shits on the crew the spectacle was awesome! Our problem was the writing! We only hated the writing & we had every right to criticize & it was fair. Nobody said anything about the acting or the visuals it was specifically about the shitty writing. We call the writers dumb & dumber & only hate them as we should 🤷🏾♀️😂
I adore your perspective and defense of Sansa. I agree! I think you are supposed to dislike her at the beginning but the poor girl actually thought the Lanisters were nice. She was a child she didn't know.
Exactly! She was a young girl dreaming of being anywhere but where she was, an incredibly familiar tale. The south was romanticized compared to what she knew of the north, and she was offered the chance to be a princess - the early childhood dream of so many young girls irl. She was so incredibly intelligent in learning how to play the game to survive in King's Landing, saying exactly what needed to be said to protect herself. Of course she made missteps like trusting Littlefinger, but she wasn't operating with the knowledge that the viewers had.
Will u be watching heartstopper S3??? I NEED UR REACTION!!!
I do believe that for Sansa in s8 it was less her want to be queen and more just her want to have the best outcome for her people that made her clash with Daenerys. The North had just become ‘independent’ and she wanted to keep it that way for her people. Daenerys being queen of all seven kingdoms would mean the end of that once more
💜💜💜💜
It's incredibly disappointing that GRM built an entire dynasty for Dany, only for them to treat her this way.
To be fair, I think she will probably lose it in the books too, it will just make a lot more sense. I can see things like Faegon being a better wrench in the world than Jon, who’s already devoted to her, and doesn’t want it (in the show at least). She won’t just randomly decide to kill civilians just as she wins the war for no reason.
Treat her what way? I’m actually sick of you people feeling like a tragic ending is somehow disrespectful to the character. Did you think he built an entire dynasty with the motto of fire and blood and a history of them going insane for no reason…? Cope. Her arc was 100x more entertaining this way than if they had just given us a sappy happy ending with her on the throne she was so obsessed with. The entire moral of the story is supposed to be life is cruel and monarchy is terrible. Like get a clue.
@@a.j.1819no i'm sorry, her ENTIRE arc (especially in the books) is about ENDING tyranny, and being the antithesis of her ancestors. Her going mad with power, killing random civilians just seasons ago that she would have done anything for, and believing herself to be some sort of 'chosen one' are everything george was writing against. especially when they were written, books having a female protagonist were almost never done, and when a woman did have power she was usually seen as the villain or 'mad'. Daenerys won't have a happy ending on the throne, and no one really expects that. she very clearly is going to sacrifice herself to stop the long night, and the others are definitely not immune to dragon flame. the targaryens do NOT have a history of going mad, not anymore then most dynasties of the real world. this wasn't a "tragic ending", this was a character assassination done on the back burners of horrible writing.
@@a.j.1819and yet it ended with bran and sansa seperating the kingdom and being monarchs, brother and sister, just the starks. dfbjhgs
@@user-bk9bs3oc8cthese types always d ride the starks when they do worse things than dany did. Shes villainized bc she got a weapon no one else has and and shes a woman. Ppl were always gonna root against her even if she didnt burn the city. Double standards man.
The main 2 things i hear people complain about season 8 is 1. Arya killing the night king and 2. Dany turning to the dark side. I’m probably in the minority here but I didn’t hate the idea of Dany having a mad queen arc it was just obviously super rushed. Arya killing the night king is WAY more infuriating to me than the shit with Dany. I can’t stand people that say that if your mad Arya killed the night king your “sexist” and had “unreasonable expectations” literally has NOTHING to do with why fans were upset. So you mean to tell me they hyped up the night king and the white walkers for 8 SEASONS to then have them be killed off in ONE EPISODE, absolutely not. I along with MANY other fans expected the entirety of season 8 to focus on the white walkers and diving deeper into the lore behind them and what the night kings TRUE motives were. The whole season loses ALL its momentum as soon as they kill the night king because then at that point it’s just like oh so the rest of the season is about going to war with Cersei, BORING AF NO ONE ASKED FOR THIS.
What you wanted is quite literally the definition of unreasonable expectations. You were never gonna get a whole season about the white walkers. You won't get it in the books, ever, and if, somehow, they reboot the show in our lifetimes, they won't do a season long arc about the white walkers then either. Extended white walker lore? Now that sounds really boring. It's a chapter at most.
@@pieceofdebri bro there’s no way you thought Cersei was a more interesting villain than the night king. Literally from episode one the show established how powerful the white walkers are and set the tone for the rest of the series. We had 7 seasons of politics and war between all the houses and slowly building up the night king and the white walkers growing their army. I don’t think it’s an unreasonable ask to expect the final season to mainly focus on the night king and white walkers after 7 seasons of politics my guy lol. I’m not saying the political side of the show was bad by any means in fact most got fans would say that it was the shows strength. With that said however they intentionally built up the white walkers as this “unstoppable force” that no one stands a chance against and you mean to tell me arya magically teleported past all of the night kings guards and not one of them noticed? Nah bro they did the night king dirty my man lol.
This is definitely biased since book Jaime is my favourite character in the series, but there is NO way that his story will end like it did in s8. I strongly believe in the popular theory that he will actually be the one to kill Cersei.
stannis saved the wall. the king who cared and reightful heir to the throne. the show messed him up
I rewatch it every year and still love all of it. Dany turning evil was the most entertaining arc and I would have actually been mad had they given us a predictable ending with her on the throne. Emilia’s best acting was the tyrant speech. Bran on the throne is anticlimactic but it makes sense for the people he’s going to rule. Safe choice. Jon got to do what he always wanted to do. Be with/protect his people.
Anyone’s else’s story is better than Bran’s tbh
(1) The High Sparrow would never have happened if Tywin was alive.
(2) Oberin should've just shut up and taken out the mountain.
(3) Danny didn't understand that you have to take into consideration other peoples cultures. Remember that slave that was a valued member of his master's family for many years. He couldn't do that anymore and he had no other means to provide for himself. He wanted to go back to being a slave. Danny hadn't even taken that into consideration at all.
(4) Danny didn't take anyone's counsel. She had many people around her from Westeros and they tried to talk to her about her father's downfall, how the country works, ect. All she focused on was the throne. Something she gave 2 shits about until her brother was killed. She had no right to the throne because Robert took it by right of conquest. Think William the Conqueror or Henry VII.
(5) Azor Hi (or however it's spelled) was really the blade. It didn't matter who wielded it. Discuss amongst yourselves...
(6) Blind ambition or religious fanatasism works out for no one. Danny, Cerci, Stanis, Melisandra and the high sparrow are just a few examples.
(7) Kat is an idiot and made so many bad decisions.
I’m I the only one who kinda liked seasons 7&8?😭😭
Not at all. It was a little rushed but the events were completely fitting still
I enjoyed season 7, but season 8 was just way too rushed. I think the exact plot of season 8 could have worked over 10 episodes and more time to develop the Long Night and Dany's downfall.
@@Biwaterbender I mostly liked season 7 cause of Cersei
I've definitely linked this in a Brad video before, but now that we're at the end, I'll link it again. This is a video essay on how GOT should have ended. It's long, but I was totally captivated. The author manages to keep true to the characters' personalities and link in backstories and forgotten storylines to create a really good GOT finale. There was only one character storyline I disagreed with but you're never going to be 100% and different people like different things. But if you have time to spare definitely give this video a go! It was fun to listen to whilst I tidied the house, and now this is the GOT ending that lives in my head.

'I rewrote got infamous ending and people loved it' - uniquenameosaurous
That video is so dumb it's laughable. The fact that you people think an ending that involves entitled and throne obsessed Daenerys KNEELING to CERSEI to "save the people" is somehow more in line with how she's acted all series is insane. You were not paying attention to her at all. You saw what you wanted to see and thought her understanding slavery = bad somehow made her an angel or even a good ruler. The lack of media literacy you people have is insane. Dany fans are the real life equivilants to people supporting tyrans and dictators just because they're charismatic and captivating.

😒I hate Sansa and will die on that hill, a Disney dress, broken oaths and trauma don't make one a good leader...but then again I pretty much hate EVERYONE's arc in season 8 bc the writers ruined them all so much...I even hate the sniveling wimpy Sam, but most of all I felt bad for Brienne...discarded like a lovesick fangirl...Brienne would never have slept with Jamie, their admiration and respect for each other was more chivalrous, not one that called for a roll in the hay.

Danaerys character was not butchered. People weren’t paying attention when she wanted to burn the masters cities down INCLUDING THE INNOCENTS back in Mereen and had to be talked out of it. The signs were always there and people are childish for appreciating a sappy saviour story but not a realistic tragedy.
🙄🙄🙄sappy? Like Sansa in a Disney dress? Like Jon going to the wildlings? Like Arya sailing into a sunset? Your take is childish...it was badly badly written...no, Dany would not randomly burn kids...a strong personality does not equate turning full H!tler from one episode to the next😅
I’m a Sansa defender till I die ❤
“I never saw/wanted Jon as king” I don’t know about choosing the impulsive girl who always had to be persuaded from using violence over the one who literally gave his life to unite people for the greater good. People see the common sense to see slavery = bad, cool dragons and think ah yes that makes a good ruler
😂normie take, Jon is a simp, Dany's arc was ruined as well, it was so badly written, no matter how much "foreshadowing" people howl about. "Impulsive girl" just screams misogyny ... how many times was she given horrible advice, how many times did she reign in her decisions and given people a choice.
