1) desensitization - plot exhaustion - characters must change
2) people die in real life - no plot armour - options has consequences
I think one reason why it was so popular was because they weren't afraid to use much older actors ,warts and all and they were really EXCELLENT actors too . It seemed to make it more convincing and realistic... Hollywood seems to use younger more attractive actors but it's not that realistic and in my opinion they often don't have the acting talent either.
I’m 6 years late but this video is great I’ve been trying to get into writing stories and this gives so much insight into writing more character driven stories.
You choose your side and you live with the consequences, that's what makes the story so compelling^^
That sums it up pretty well!
Wow.
I wish the guys that wrote Breaking Bad had also wrote the final 4 seasons of Game of Thrones.
They couldn't even write a family man misunderstanding story properly with lots of plot holes. Game of thrones season 5-7 are better than every season of breaking bad
Nice video! One thing I'd like to suggest : maybe lower the background music a little bit? It was at times a bit hard to understand. Other than that, solid analysis. Subbed.
Not My Name thank you! I'll make sure to work on the volume for the next time. And thanks again !
I second this! Just a bit of volume polishing and you have a solid A+ channel. Subbed :)
I think the addition and volume of music was perfect. I would add I think the music is another thing that separates Game of Thrones from other shows. It is beautiful and extremely engaging at the same time. It definitely adds to the experience.
To the untrained eye, GOT might look like nothing but boobs, butts, and gruesome deaths, but it’s so much more! It’s rich, complex, full of events you know are going to happen and then exceeding your expectations because it happens in such a cool way. To non-fans, this show might be too complicated to keep track, but to a true fan, these characters and storylines are hard to forget!
The ending was so bad it made the whole show a bad one.
@@CrYpt001 no it didn't. got is still a great show. the bad doesn't wash out the good. and the only reason why there are major flaws is due to the writers.
@@shawnd121 I guess it depends from person to person .To me and a lot of people i know it really spoiled the whole show.
I try to recommend it to my friends but they just see it as a porn series and hence refuse to watch it.
@@kakophonien6514 Them’s fightin’ words! Ask me a trivia question from the show! I’ll answer it without flinching!
very compelling argument. maybe i will finally get around to watching it now...
Excellent video. I'm sticking around to see more!
I seriously love this video!!!
Just popped up in my recommended, think UA-cams algorithm is sensing your quality bro. Great video.
Agree fully up until this season, feel like GoT has lost a little edge. Seems to be forming into the negative you talked about in the video, hoping its just a minor blip. Would like to hear your opinion on this season in comparison to the previous six.
+Ludi hey man thanks for watching! Praise to the algorithm!
I'm hoping it's just a minor blip too, but without the source material it's not looking like it's going potentially return to form it once had. I'd wait for the final books to be released, but I don't want to have to wait until I'm 40 to read them.
It's in the works!
I get your point about prison break but constantly hoping for it to all work out for Michael is what’s compelling about it
Damm that´s some major Luther and Breaking Bad spoilers
Boris Nagy well...I did try and warn y'all
0:33 Fuck I didn´t notice good video tho
Perspective changing. Thank you.
Warren Day thanks for watching.
Holy fuck. Insightful.
Its one of them shows that actually has an ending..... and not an ending that u watch to get out of the way, an ending that u truly do not know how it is going to end, u want to watch because u want to see the decisions that bring us there.
That’s pretty much it. I’ve watched shows to the end to literally get on with the rest of my life and there’s shows like this and breaking bad which grip me to no end hoping that they never actually do end.
loved it! thought i hate remembering jon's dead. keep it up!
Micaela Sobrado me too it's always in the back of my mind... thanks a lot for watching!
I have no idea how this got into my recommended box but i loved the video
Magnus Jensen I put it there, just for you my man
Well it earned you a sub so good job keep it up
keep it up buddy, looking forwards to more videos in the future
Great video bro u deserve more subs
The background music is too loud
I think the specialness of GOT and Westeros is being made more apparent by the day. With the things that have been happening in the last decade as well as with GOT itself(season 8)
Westeros is ‘old school’
1: The kids don’t run Westeros. GOT and HOD are not tryna be the ‘cool uncle/aunt’ They aren’t begging the kids to look at them. The kids are begging to come to Westeros. ‘I can’t wait til I’m older and can watch GOT’
That’s how it was when I was a kid.
2: The books and GRRM are the core/lead. The art leads the audience. The audience is on a set rollercoaster.
At no point has it been like, ‘Tik Tok loves Samwell Tarley..find a way to make him king.
The farther GOT/HOD strays from the books/GRRM, the reactions range from ‘uuummm alright?’ To ‘I cain’t believe this shit’…years later.
🚶🏾♂️
a great vid, love the music. Keep it up!
Kharibda thanks! Next ones coming soon!
I think the music made it next levl like when i hear the got theme i just feel something higher
They tried to milk Prison break with a season 5, they shouldve stopped at the final break.
What’s that last clip of green fire from?
Great Video!! I would love to see more!!
It is boring as hell. It was a struggle to get through Season 1, why would anyone stay around for more? Homeland, Lost, Walking Dead, and Breaking Bad have plot at least.
Mark Thomas not gonna lie, I felt the same way until the pivotal moments like the red wedding took place. The value in this show, to me anyway, is the that it makes a lot more sense the second time around because there’s too much to take in the first time round. 2 years ago I’d have said watch it, but because of the dumpster fire of an ending it makes everything retroactively worse. You dodged a bullet my dood.
And this is why i lost interest in lucifer
What kind of bullshit is this? Less than a thousand views?
I would say that another factor is that every character has a big flaw/disadvantage to counter their abilities/traits and every win comes with a loss
I know you'll be making other types of videos that probably are not for me, but i'll subscribe for when you upload more like this.
Anyways, great video!
Thanks for watching man! I've got to start somewhere though!
Very true I could talk about it for hours but I think it might take me a lifetime to edit...
I plan on making video essays my main type of video on the channel so hopefully you'll enjoy my upcoming stuff.
Thanks again for watching!
This video would be so much better without the background music....
literally non of your points apply to season 7 ironic
Daniel Zsombor I know right? Probably time to change the title of this video...
this is not an essay lmao
Was looking forward to watching this but I've already seen one Walking dead spoiler and I have to stop here. A warning would have been good. Look forward to checking out future vids.
0:33
Im sorry I missed that. Looking forward to checking out future vids.
Wow wow wow, House of Cards?, really?
Yeah...... that aged like milk
Why are you excusing your accent ?
If you want to make an video essay...first begin by not using jon as the main video pic
