They did the red wedding, that's all they wanted to do, after that, they just checked out of the project and slowly came to resent it and began looking for their next project.

I wish tyrion invented him some kind of blade that could attach to his right arm so he could keep his fighting prowess

Great video, but I gotta address a few point that are simply so asinine they cannot stand. At the 2:30 second mark specifically. No just no! We really don't have to address the hypocracy of women having bastards for multiple reasons. Top of the list is that the men's bastards remain just that, Bastards there wasn't a single Targaryen monarch up to this point who up and usurped his most loyal vassal house in order to place his own bastard on their seat of power. That doesn't make Rhaenyra Maegor with teets she's more 70% Aegon 4th the unworthy and a 30% the mad king Aerys for killing her lords for iligitimate reasons and creating a proto blackfyre rebellion. Had Rhaenyra simply named them Bastards and named her sons by Daemon little Viserys and Aegon her heirs I might be team black but she didn't. The entire reason people mistrust women who sire bastards is that they can threaten successions and cuckold their husbands in a world with no such thing as a DNA test. while men last I checked can't trick their wives into thinking a bastard is their wife's son or daughter. That's why female infidelity is so disdained and frankly Rhaenyra is proving it's a damn good reason. You cannot look at the hypocracy in a vacuum without acknowleding the inherent biological inequalities between men and women when judging the social customs and culture that emerge from those inequalities. Also no Daenarys would not and could not "break the wheel" that was for slavery. Daenarys believes in hereditary monarchy she wouldn't go against the structure that gives her own succession legitimacy. Fans do this stupid thing where they tale her "break the wheel" line and project their vapid, naive, modern, perspectice, devoid of nuance onto it. The wheel represents the institution of slavery not hereditary monarchy, marriage and bastardy. Back to the main point I agree Viserys named her heir but to quote the greens " the oaths to Rhaenyra died with Aegon's birth." When a king has no heirs his brother is heir when the king has a son the heirship changes automatically. Not to mention Jaeharys past the Widow's law which states sons come before daughters but have a duty to protect the females of their family to an equivilent standard of living as they had before. Viserys never changed this law When Aegon was born he became heir by law and custom. One may say Viserys word superceded this law and I'd agree if it weren't for the fact Viserys never had the lords Renew their oaths after Aegon's birth. Because of Viserys's stupidity and weakness he did not secure Rhaenyra's rule. The proper procedure would have been to firstly name Her heir then have her attend small council meetings and raise her as an heir. Secondly betroth her to Aegon this preserves the male line, adds to her legitimacy and avoids war. Failing that denounce her Bastards as bastards and comand she produce a trueborn heir and if she can't or won't then name Aegon and his children her heir to rule after her. Lastly as I said before renew the damn oaths to Rhaenyra after the birth of Aegon. The minute Viserys failed to do that the lords were free from their oath to her by law and the green rebellion became not only just but legal too. That is why I'm a somewhat reluctant green. I tried, I really tried to root for Rhaenyra but the more I watched the less legitimate her claim become and the more she and Viserys Pissed me off. They ruined what could have been a stable transfer of power to the first Targaryen queen. Owe well, long live Aegon the 2nd of his name king of the Andals, The Rhoynar, and The First Men, Lord of the 7 kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm! Followed by his Heir the closest Trueborn Male heir by his uncle Daemon, Aegon the 3rd the Dragon's bane.

Rhaenyra made every mistake possible as an heir. She should have known how careful she must be in the patriarchy to inherit the throne before Aegon, and to her luck, Aegon himself was, actually, okay with that! Aegon's brothers can't go in front of him, so she could have Aegon as her banner, the oldest son accepting the rule of the oldest daughter, she could at least try to have good relationships with him, but she thought she is above it, everyone owes her that, and the Game of Allies does not exist for her. Laeor could be infertile, gay, they really might not have children, and she needed heirs, but instead of choosing a lover, the same Daemon, who looks like her or her husband, she chose Harwin. Let's say she thought her blood was predominant, but after Jace, she had to stop having children with Harwin because it was a big risk. Velaryon might not be accepted a bastard. The lords could refuse to accept these children as legitimate heirs, she literally risked both her life and the children's lives, just because she thinks she's above the tradition, law, any human, she's the God of the Gods (I remind you, that magic and gods exist for sure, and they are visible to people and marital vows are actually a thing, so bastards are considered more evil than we have past time), and every person would simply accept her doings just because she wants to. She doesn't care about politics and how it's done. She was LUCKY her children were accepted by Corlys and Rhaenys, she was LUCKY people liked Jace, because he was a nice person, so they tried to forget how he looks, it's really a pure LUCK, considering how bastards, royal ones too, were treated before and after. She marries Daemond making him consort near her, and, well, Daemon was the reason why she was finally established as an heir, since Viserys wanted a boy to inherit, that's why he pushed Aemma to give him a son. Viserys was not vocal about it, but he was okay for Daemon to inherit before Rhaenyra, even when the lords were asking him to change the heir. So here's come Rhaenyra to move Daemon from the throne... And she brings him back by making him the second most powerful person in the realm, and considering that Rhaenyra does nothing in ruling, he will be the machine that drives the Westeros. She again is just LUCKY, that part of the lords that supported her and her father before has't turned their backs because of Daemon, who they tried to stop. She knew that Viserys was sick, she sent her maesters in the book to help him... And she did nothing to check the greens, who were there, near the council, near the throne, closer that she was. She has never visited lords, never supported alliences, all the houses that supported her were actually just supporting her because of a decades old vows and good memory of her father! She literally used all her luck to remain the heir till the start of the Dance, because otherwise she would have been thrown to the septas. She is just LUCKY to remain the heir when Viserys died, such a poor ruling material when she has a challenge during succesion! I can't support her after that, not because she's a woman, but because she's so arrogant and stupid that it starts to annoy. And we all know annoing and stupid people, whatever their sex is, they're harmful. As the consort, Alicent, the same woman, by cunning and without dragons, was able to subdue the council, gather a coalition, and support of the houses, and this despite the fact that Viserys got sick in the books only at the end of his life, and before that he was the current monarch, who did not support Alicent in this. But she managed! I don't think Aegon is a good ruling material, but he has a strong council with really talented people in ruling including his mother, who support him and will be the main force behind his back, considering he wasn't eager to rule, but does it for his family.

I haven't read the books, I couldn't stand her. I really wanted her to die, especially by the end

People bring up the sexual abuse, which is abhorrent but no one questions why. A hypersexual alcoholic at fifteen? That's normal?

5:10 one writer isn't to blame?? Uuuhhhh Sarah has single-handedly responsible for every decision that has been bafflingly nonsensical so far...... it's not the time jumps..... that's already been proven to not be the case by the best aspects of the show... the issues are nonsensical decisions made by the characters on the episodes that are straight up written by her😂

Finally somebody! Using common bloody sense... shit!!!! Thank you 💯 😊

You forgot the biggest factor on side of the greens. Rhaneryas bastard’s offered their uncle a pig as a dragon. They humiliated him on every occasion. Lucerys laughed at Aemond after he took his eye to mock him. No wonder he got called “Strong boys”. Afterwards, CHAD Aemond claimed Vaghar. The 4 bastard children attacked Aemond. Admins called them a bastard, they drew out their swords to harm him. He fought with a rock and Lucerys took his eye. Viserys did goatshit lordshit nothing about this. He didn’t even reprimand the use of blade on his child. Infact, he reprimanded the greens. Rhanerya, the bitch, asked a 10 year old who lost his eye to her bastard son be questioned sharply aka tortured .Alicent asked him for a befitting punishment and Viserys replies with “I cannot restore an eye”. All Aemond did was defend his mother by saying it was a fair exchange. Alicents words “Where is duty” summaries Rhaneryas character. I do not blame her for having bastard with a gay husband. The problem was her trying to pass them as legitimate, causing death of those who told the truth, getting away with every wrong by weaponising her father. With power, she would be Cersei. She created Aemond. Short psychological view- Trauma is created when a person realises that the other person intently wants to hurt them. Aemond knew his father would have taken his other eye too, or the tongue of his mother. A 10 year old defended his family whereas a King couldn’t. Unfairness creates the vilest monsters. Aemond, the kinslayer, is the monster of consequences of Rhanerya’s actions. Team 💚

It's funny how people always think that Rhaenyra was always intent on killing alicent children but it was the opposite the war started when alicent son aemond killed Luke a peaceful envoy. If Rhaenyra amd daemon thought alicent would usurp the throne then the blood and cheese act would have happened to alicent and her children a long time ago but it only happens in retaliation after her son is murdered by aemond hse would never have left kingslanding but she did ask yourself would you leave someone you don't trust in a position of power

I think the issue with the later seasons is they cut out too much important things. Like Aegon coming to take over, and a lot of the magic/lore. Plus the night king was a mistake. Giving us a specific villain meant only one person could end it not letting other characters share in the victory more.

This scene was essentially meant to be the Red Wedding of F&B and HOTD, but it just didn’t have quite the same emotional, or dramatic, impact.

Just having a show depiction of winterfell during dance with all the scheming factions and secrets and murders would be better than all 8 seasons combined.

Winds of winter would be the first book EVER TO MAKE OVER A BILLION DOLLARS. $50 per book would earn 15 billion with only 300 million sales.

He tries to kill a child and was banging his sister yet is one of the most beloved characters of the series. He was absolutely the best written character lol

The lack of meaning to the conclusion of pretty much every characters arc at the end of the show was such a big problem, it just leaves you feeling empty.

Let's be honest, no one knows Lyanna Stark. Her description and character are so vague. Since she claimed Robert would cheat on her, however she had no problem with running with the married man. So Robert might be right: Lyanna could've kidnapped and raped by Rhaegar. There was no evidence of her feelings towards the prince. He was handsome and charming but his affection towards her is uncomfortable: he already had a family and heirs and she was promised to Baratheon. Who would risk everything to run away with lover? She was 15-16 and Rheagar was around 27. I think Robert as a fiance has right to be wrathful against Rhaegar and Targaryens in general because the king didn't give a damn about the powerful houses and even more punished cruelly Starks for asking for returning of Lyanna.

Walder Frey was a chad

One of the major themes of Game of Thrones the books is transformation. Characters are sometimes transformed into the opposite of what they started out as. I think Lady Brianne could be transformed into someone with impeccable on her into someone who must choose to be less honorable in order to live. In a sense, she and Jamie may end up trading places in terms of their honor.

Il cut you a deal I will like and subscribe if you force George rr martin to release wow tommy row if not I WILL DISLIKE ALL YOUR VIDS

No the realm was held together by Robert and by extension his marriage. However he also knows that it’s all a facade and will crumble once he’s gone.

personally, i liked jaime from the very start. i liked him because i knew right away that there was something more to him. and the only reason i thought that was tyrion. because tyrion was being ridiculed by people outside and inside his family, when i saw jaime treating him like a brother or an equal, i was taken aback. i thought if this guy is really as bad as it's shown, how come he's not picking on the easiest target for him, his dwarf little brother. it's a small thing, but i knew right away that there should be something more to this guy. and there was.

She never agreed to marry Ramsey

I take issue with all of the 'blame' for Rhaenyra's children being bastards and not true heirs for Driftmark. Laenor 'tries' to have an heir with Rhaenyra and finds himself unable to do so. If she had deceived her husband, and he had not agreed to maintain appearances with her and raise her children, that'd be different. While it's also easy to blame Aegon for not learning how to be a king, and therefore being terrible.... Aegon took his father seriously that Rhaenyra was to be his heir, had no interest in ruling, and was used as a pawn. He ought to have been permitted to abdicate when he'd made it clear that he did not want to rule.

Sansa just wanted to do the right thing; she believed in happy ever after; but she was surrounded by people who had authority over her who had no interest in right or wrong or happy ever after; she was surrounded by Machivelians. Her predicament gets steadily worse until she eventually learns that she must become as wise as a serpent as well as gentle as a dove. The former she had down since birth the latter she had to master through trials of fire. Sansa's story teaches us that no prince charming is coming to save us; we must become our own hero if we ever hope to escape such a nightmare.

I think Jaime will be the one to fulfill the prophecy and kill cersei. And he'll say the infamous " the things we do for love line" right before or as he is choking her.

Thank you for the video! It's interesting that man understands the mentality of the little girl better than most women... I always liked Sansa the most. She is relatable. She was manipulated, groomed, bullied, beaten just because she was a pretty noble girl. But she didn't become awful person and I believe she never will. She is smater than people think, that even she thinks. If she survives she will become the best lady-ruler for her people. Not Arya who is too traumatized and wild. Not Dany who is a conquror but not much as a ruler (with Tyrion on her side who hates his family and Westeros Dany will eventually becomes a tyrant). Not Margery who is amazing queen in the show, but in the books she is quite avarage young girl doomed by Cersei's jealous and hatred.

Me too! Watched it through a zillion times, still watching ❤

I couldn’t rewatch after season 8 for a long time knowing where they all end up. I could only watch through KZbin reactors until HOTD came out now I’m back to watching maybe twice a year but I always stop at season 7

Me, once a year lol

I still watch it but I stop after hardhome because thats the last good episode
