Every Error in Game of Thrones Seasons 1-4

[@Anchorwing.]

The fact that this video is for 4 seasons and is shorter is amazing

[@NowhereMan7]

5-8 is four seasons too. I liked seasons 5,6 and 7 at the time but I've tried watching the whole thing again and I cant get past season 5. When you know every single story thread goes absolutely nowhere it makes the boring scenes even more tedious. The whole tone of the show shifted and the writing fell off a cliff. "Game of Thrones was cancelled after season 4." 🚫

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

@@NowhereMan7 Seasons 5 and 6 are still mostly good and include some of the best episodes of the series. Yes, some of the plotlines were bad or went nowhere, but not all.

[@NowhereMan7]

@@MatthewTheWanderer I used to think that too till Irewatched years after season 8 ended. Which of the over arcing stories reaches a natural conclusion? "Mankind fights for power while ignoring an increasingly urgent and far greater threat. We know nothing about them but they make these strange symbols that must mean something. A prince was promised. He is secretly a Targaryen." None of that end sup mattering.

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

@@NowhereMan7 Those story arcs go nowhere, but those 2 don't matter anyway. They are and always were and always will be distractions from the main story. I always hated the White Walker subplot even in the first scene of Season 1 Episode 1. I couldn't care less about zombies or prophecies in this series.

[@NowhereMan7]

@@MatthewTheWanderer that is what the show is about. It's a analogous to mankind and global warming on earth. The long night, the threat beyond the wall, the long forgotten power/magic that are still in the world and the one who is prophesied to end the long night - an unlikely bastard of unknown great lineage. Those are not subplots. They are the over arcing theme of the books and the show up until they just threw it all in the bin. Subplots are introduced and finished within the series like Oberyns revenge on Gregor.

[@danksmeme698]

I would say one more mistake in season 1 was Robert's hunting party. A royal hunt would have hunting tents, banquet tables, and an entire garrison of soldiers to protect the king. It wouldn't be three guys trotting through the woods. I'm pretty sure George R.R. Martin or D&D even commented on it being their worst adapted scene. King Viserys' hunt in HotD was way more faithful to what a royal hunt _would've_ been.

[@peterf08]

We can let it slide maybe because of budget but ye it is not very realistic

[@Slender_Man_186]

I think that's specifically why they did that episode in HotD, to make up for that pitiful excuse of a royal hunt in GoT.

[@HOTD108_]

That's less of a mistake and more a reflection of the fact the show literally just didn't have enough money to do that scene properly during season 1. You have to remember that Game of Thrones season 1 was made with significantly less money than the rest of the show, because it hadn't become a huge commercial success yet.

[@ultrabigfella]

It's surprising how some scenes looks so cheap in Season 1, and that is the biggest victim.

​@@ultrabigfellayou're right. It's crazy how cheap a lot of season 1 looks despite the fact that the season had a budget of around 50 million dollars. Talks about how expensive tv series are.

[@Marfy_]

the only thing i really dont like is that tywin scene at the end, not only is he wrong in that dragons havent won a war in 300 years (its more like 170), he completely ignores the fact that there were no dragons to win wars, but when there were they constantly did

[@Hotline_101]

That’s odd though because dragons didn’t particularly win the dance of dragons, most died over the course of the war and it pretty much comes down to Aegon catching and killing Rhaenyra by burning her alive with his dragon Sunfyre, who proceeds to die of prior injuries a few months? later. The four remaining dragons were either wild by nature or by necessity, and one that had been too young to fight in the war. Within only 25 years the last known dragon had died.

[@Marfy_]

That is true but in the battles that they fought in they were very big factors and the only reason why they died is because both sides had dragons @@Hotline_101

[@Hotline_101]

@@Marfy_ I mean, yeah, that is true, although several dragons get taken out by a mob of angry smallfolk with basically normal weapons and the advantage of numbers. I’d chalk this one up to Tywin meaning that the dragons didn’t really win the war, they were all dead before the end of it (barring like 2-3). In comparison, Aegon was able to use his dragons to great effect to conquer Westeros in no small part because he had dragons and nobody else on the continent did. When your superweapon is acquired by your enemy, it loses its superweapon-ey-ness. That said, Tywin’s logic is a bit weird since this isn’t a dance with dragons type thing, the Lannisters have no dragons, nobody does, save Daenerys, who can waltz in and burn everyone alive with her dragons, a bit strange that the normally quite thoughtful Tywin would underestimate this risk.

[@Marfy_]

That last part is exactly the point, even if during the dance the dragons didnt do all that much its because both sides had them, but in every other conflict in the 100 years before that which will be exactly like the one coming with dany the dragons changed everything​@@Hotline_101

Season 2 had some mistakes which were due to bad adaptation. First, in the books Melisandre had two actions with her "birth". First was underneath the city of Storm's end (if I remember) just to kill somebody. Then THIS was when Davos brought her by boat in the sewers. But it was ommited, so what was the point of bringing her to the sewers just to kill Renly in his camp? she could do it from any place (and in the city was the magick protection Of the walls so she needed to do her ritual unferneath the city). The second thing was whole the Theon's invasion to Winterfell. They totally erased the real plot twist with Ramsay Bolton pretending his serveant. The scene of his people betraying him and then the Ramsay's play with Theon makes no sense (but D&D needed to save the plot).

Season 4 had one big error - Yara Greyjoy with her people went by boats to Dreadford to release her brother Theon. But let's look on the Westeros map.

7:34 You might have missed this, but it is later explained in S3E10 ("Mhysa"). See from around 16:35, Walder Frey and Roose Bolton talking after the Red Wedding. Roose says: "I sent my bastard, Ramsey, to root them out. Robb Stark offered amnesty for the iron-born if they gave us Theon. Ramsey delivered the terms. The iron-born turned on Theon, as we knew they would. They handed him over, trussed and hooded. But Ramsey... well... Ramsey has his own way of doing things." So they contacted the iron-born to turn Theon over. The iron-born thought they would be allowed to go home, that's why they turned on him. (Otherwise, it wouldn't have made much sense BTW: so if you missed this, it should have been added as a mistake.) But of course, Ramsey being Ramsey, he killed all the iron-born after they gave up the castle, and then kept Theon for himself to torture him, rather than handing him to Robb Stark.

I believe you overlooked a significant inconsistency. It appears in both the first episode and the books. One of the Night's Watch brothers is executed by Ned Stark for desertion. However, his location at capture by Winterfell soldiers remains unexplained. Did he scale the Wall? Did he circumvent it and then travel by sea? Or did he somehow return to Castle Black only to desert again and head south? Regardless of his chosen route, the distance between the north side of the Wall and his capture location near Winterfell is likely hundreds of miles.

[@CultureVultureMedia1]

I'd suppose he went back to Castle Black, rode off in the night, then abandoned his horse. Not sure that checks out though, hehe. What did stand out to me, however, was how he is aprehended by riders from both sides. Did one group of knights ride ahead just to pincer-move this one exhausted guy? Moreover, he is made out to not see them until they are just entering the frame, which is hardly worth nagging about, but looks silly when you think about it. The reason I didn't bring that up is because I didn't want such a nitpicky point so early in the video :P

How do you sneak out of the fortress anyway? It's literally a fortress, with only one exit gate, which is probably guarded at all times? Another inconsistency?

As said, Cat should have known of the very first Prince’s existence and he should have been in the book. And him having black hair would have made Ned’s realization that the other kids are blonde matters less. Also, Cersei later says to Majory in reference to Joffrey that, “you never love anything the way you love your first child.” So by season three, the writes had completely forgotten about this first son, now claiming Joffrey was first born.

[@Manlymoose1]

In Books Cersei talked about intentionally poisoning any children that Robert put in her, so that they were born extremely sick or dead. Likewise in the books Joffrey is considered her firstborn. A stillborn's existence being erased from the "official" history seems like a likely scenario to me. To her, and the rest of the society, Joffrey is her first child.

Big one left out in Season 4: Mance's army of 100,000 decimated in about 60 seconds once Stannis's calvary of nowhere near that many arrive. Semi-big one: The Thenn not slamming Jon's head against that anvil a couple more times. That bald cannibal had that fight won. Yes, yes... I know Jon recovered from the full facial fracture and brain annihilating concussion in about 15 seconds, but still. Slam Jon's head in using the resources you have. Bonus: Dany imprisoning two innocent dragons (since Drogon ain't around) like an hour after seeing the charred remains of a child. Yep, she's definitely gonna kill many children later 😂

Tywin's comment isn't wrong. Dragons are a serious threat, but you need to send in an army to get the enemy to surrender. Unless the attacking forces plan is to destroy either all the harvests, the castles, or burn everybody. None of which would suit them if they intend to occupy the same lands and castles.

This might be a huge nitpick but in the scene where Ned and Jaime fight in season 1, there are some aerial takes in which you can very clearly see multiple artificial light sources by the color of the light and the multiple shadows casted by the actors.

Well, there are People who have problems with Tywin and Arya's meeting they are addressing it as a mistake that if Tywin did made Arya as Cupbearer and showed that much interest he would have taken her with him or told someone to keep eye on her, I understand what they say but I still enjoyed thier interaction regardless and ithere are many reasons why Tywin didn't bring her either aa we see later on the seasons, his overconfidence grown as he decided ignore even the wise things Joffrey and others said while he felt powerless and decided to take everything for himself was the reason for his downfall.

Six-and-ten for him, and three for you. Gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds, she said. And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you.

Cersei's story about her black-haired Baratheon son is actually meant to be a reference to the books, where there was a past Lord Baratheon with a Lannister wife who had a black-haired son who died early. But yeah, in a bigger scheme of things, it didn't make much sense.

[@RapaxGuardian]

I don't remember where I read it, but I *had* read that in Westerosi culture, children mortality is so high that children who do not survive to their first name day are not counted in the official count of children. See, for example, the children of King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne. They had 13 children in total, including 3 sons who died before their first nameday. Prince Aemon is referred to as the King's first son when in fact he is the second. Now look at fanart of Jaehaerys and his sons. The three infants are never included.

[@limbus66]

The Halfhand bit is a bit misleading, it's actually made pretty explicit in the book that he left Jon to kill Ygritte knowing he'd let her escape. He gives a long speech later about how being a leader means knowing which task he can give to each of his men, and he gave Jon that task knowing what he would do. He did what he did so Jon would ingratiate himself to the wildlings and have Ygritte to vouch for him when he pretended to defect to them. I haven't watched the show in ages so I don't remember exactly how they adapted this, but I'm surprised you didn't mention it when you mentioned other things from the books.

[@Sursion]

I never see anyone bring up the biggest plothole of them all. Ned figures out Joffrey is Jamie's child because he has blond hair and Robert doesn't... but Cersei has blonde hair... Cersei and Robert's children can still have blonde hair, there's no reason at all to think Joffrey wasn't Robert's.

[@spntageous5249]

generally yes, a blonde person and a dark haired person Can have blonde children, but I think the point of the genealogy research Ned goes through is to show how strong and dominant the Baratheon genes are, how literally every kid Baratheons have is dark haired Until Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen. It Is Technically Possible, but what's the chance to have three blonde children if everyone in the family line is dark haired....

[@Sursion]

@@spntageous5249 I suppose. But genetics are weird like that. Both of your parents could be brown haired and the child could be a red head because one of the parents' parents was red headed (genes can skip a generation). The people of Westeros might not privvy to this science yet, but from a realism standpoint Ned basically made a guess based on flawed logic but got the right answer anyways.

Cersei's first born is mentioned again later in season 1, it's lack of mentions comes from the fact that it happened over 10 years ago in the show and she has kids who's alive (believed to be from Rob) makes it less noteworthy for people to mention. Personally I also read the scene as Cersei playing it up to gain sympathy from Cat and to remove suspicion. For the text it also serves to round out Cersei as a character, build on the tragedy of Rob and Cersei, and the line "black haired beauty" starts the thought process of the barratheon childrens hair.

[@wjzav1971]

The Ironborn at Winterfell thought that giving up Theon ("their leader") would give them free passage to go home. Maybe Ramsay sent them a secret message about that. But they did not successfully go home. As Ramsay would later tell Balon Greyjoy in a letter, the Ironborn at Winterfell were flayed.

“How would meera know that?” Maybe because she watched the “brother” manhandle that woman, had an obvious shocked reaction to it, and realized that sworn brothers of the nights watch wouldn’t treat a woman that way? I don’t understand why that’s difficult to comprehend? But I guess a man is less likely to pick up on that type of context clue.

Just a note on Arya killing the dude who's already got his sword drawn: I think the idea here is supposed to be that he underestimates her, not seeing her as a threat. He may figure a little girl doesn't have the mettle to kill a man. And probably doesn't think she's strong enough to drive a blade into someone. At least this is how I choose to interpret the scene

[@MadMatTom7769]

Still his instinct should not let that happen

@@MadMatTom7769 The "instinct" would stem from a perception of danger. People sometimes colloquially refer to reflexes developed from extensive training/experience as "instinct" because they function on pretty much the same level, but, technically, they're not instincts if they're learned. Just about everyone has an instinct to flinch or duck when something comes at them quickly, but if you're certain it's not going to hit you, that instinct is not triggered. And these true instincts are even more deeply embedded and harder to override than learned/acquired "instincts." If this wasn't the case, we'd have a LOT more police shootings than we do. Cops would be gunning down every idiot that made a sudden move. As a side note, it's an assumption that he would have reflexes like this. He's a criminal, not a trained swordsman. But the chance that he has had enough experience to develop such reflexes is high enough that it warrants consideration. I'm just pointing out that it's not a given.
