I like to think that Sansa also is more Tully than Stark as she grew up. Becoming more like her mother physically and personally. She lacks most of the stubbornness that became an unintended Stark personality trait in most the family. A lot of determination and compassion too. So if Edmure doesn't survive this season, the Tullys might be gone in name but not in blood.

[@tyrant-den884]

There is more of her mother in Arya too than most people give either credit for. Perhaps the most successful mix of Stark and Tully is on the one who avenges family upon another family. She knows how to swim unseen in the waters, but this fish bites.

[@catelyntully9494]

I'd like to think they have a lot of tully qualities to, Cat had many problems and was exposed to HORRIBLE situations where she had to pick her family, but I'd like to think the girls have like "The good tully trails" mostly Sansa but I am so happy someone else noticed Arya to, Tullies are really good at adapting (like whith Aegon conquest), better than most Starks but I do love them both.

Honor is sometimes worthless and this old times. In real life medieval nobles didn't care about the poor unlike today's UK"s monarchy does charity support and cares about the people. Nobles only cared about what is best for their families best interests, and the honor and prestigious of their House.

I feel like Edmure isn't the last Tully, Sansa is, even if she doesn't carry the name. The Battle of the Bastard really highlights her Tully ability to make alliances. This video makes me miss Catelyn. Sure she's not perfect, but she's been my favourite character in the books/series.

@EmtronVenger oh that's right, I haven't read them in ages. I think she's characterized slightly better in the show. Or perhaps it's just Michelle Fairley's performance that makes me like her way more. Considering Catelyn and Ned's characters, it makes way more sense that Ned would feel an overwhelming obligation to go, and Catelyn would be against it. Since it's Ned's dedication to honor that kills him (warning Cersei and not paying Littlefinger to secure the loyalty of the knights) and Catelyn's dedication to family that kills her (setting Jaime free made them vulnerable).

In the books Catelyn is the one who pushes Ned to accept Robert's offer, precisely because it will give him power to safeguard the family. Especially as the next likely candidate was Tywin Lannister. And also it increased Sansa's chances to be queen. So she did it because she values family, precisely the opposite of the show's take. In my opinion one of the show's early mistakes.

[@jedimasters1462]

Don't forget that tv CAN'T do everything a book can. It takes a LOT of money to make a tv show, especially one with all the special effects Game of Thrones has. There are too many things in the book that is important to the story, but some have to be sacrificed for the even bigger things. They probably could have done Lady Stoneheart, but then we may not have gotten the direwolves, or Faegon and not the White Walkers or the dragons. A book or book series has almost unlimited space and resources for an epic story where you can have a thousand characters, creatures and locations, but tv and movies don't. It was probably cheaper to make the Lord of the Rings movies all together than Game of Thrones.

I love how Sansa and Arya really embody the Tully love of family. They defend their family so much. They also embody the importance of the pack surviving during winter. It’s such a good combination. One thing we admire of the Starks comes from how much they value family and a lot of that comes from Catelyn as a Tully. It’s unfortunate we don’t see their influence more in the series through their strong genes. In the books, all the Stark kids except for Arya have the Tully look. Amazing analysis like always!

But Robb was a king and Ed king at that and though Robb himself mucked up it was still a order from a king to a subject lord. Do not attack the mountain. As such both men were in the wrong.

[@perrys1723]

This is so well done! I enjoyed every second :) Thank you

[@iornlint]

Thanks for putting these out so consistently, thay are all quality videos

[@TurboZera]

This might actually be my absolute favorite Game of Thrones video on KZbin. You did an amazing job as always. The Take is awesome. :)

[@tomtom21194]

In the books Cat convinces Ned to become Hand when he wants to refuse. Wonder why they reversed it in the show

[@lolablake9196]

Ive rewatched some of your GOT and Harry Potter Videos so many times 😅 I love your vids. And even though the Tully’s are not my favorite house they have my favourite words.

[@dr.anaB777]

Tully was my favorite house from the books. It echos the morals I personally believe in, and Catelyn-Lady Stoneheart is one of my favorite characters.

[@mushfm1958]

It’s an actual disgrace that this Channel is only at 600k this is honestly the best channel on KZbin every upload no matter what it is . It’s so well worked and I’m buzzing everytime there’s an upload especially these GOT videos x

[@00lucyclare]

Catelyn was the one who actually persuaded Ned to go to kingslanding in the books before later regretting it after brand fall :)

[@akhileshkumar9678]

Yesterday, almost 100 comments requested a video on House Tully. Today it's here. Now that's called foresight.

[@samuelbattershell3413]

I wouldn't call it feminine intuition, more like Hoster knew how to read the room. As after the show concluded, his son is Lord of the Riverlands, one of his grandsons is Lord of the Vale, another grandson is King of all south of the Neck and one of his granddaughters is Queen of the North, with the another granddaughter slaying the Great Other/The Night King. And he died still Lord of The Riverlands unbeaten of old age, the true winner of the Game of Thrones

[@Machuter]

My favourite house :3

[@milacruz3970]

Catelyn was my favourite character. What I would aspire to be

[@andrewb1147]

I hope you guys continue to make these videos. They offer so much to the viewer, thought provoking and insightful, you just get pulled in from beginning to end. Love all your Game Of Thrones videos. House Stark, House Targaryen and House Tyrell were my favs now I can add this to the lot!

[@vanzc7920]

Thank you so so much for doing these Game of Thrones videos. I love the Tully's and the Arryn's. Hoster Tully and Jon Arryn were two complicated men. Please do some more. Please also think about doing the Buffyverse.

[@JudyBirdChronicles]

Trout are distinct in that they swim upstream to return to their origins to spawn and then die.

[@akicelene21]

Michele Fairley did an awesome portrayal of Catelyn Stark tho i dont know how she is in the books but her acting in the show is superb especially the in the red wedding. Gut and heart wrenching scene of mother trying to save her son.

[@celticwolff5429]

It would be nice in S8 to see Edmure trying to take power in the Riverlands by combining House Tully and House Frey. Then Jamie recruiting him on his way to Winterfell. Jamie could put himself under Edmure's protection to convince everyone of his sincerity to fight.

[@celticwolff5429]

@LagiNaLangAko23 Yeah, but since Edmure is married to Rosalind Frey he might be able to claim Lordship at the Twins along with Riverrun. Basically what the Freys did to the Tullys.

[@BaldingClamydia]

The scene where Cat tries to convince Ned to *not* go to King's Landing comes right after she convinced him to go! I'm pretty sure it was the same in the books, and while it shows her ability to be flexible when given new information, it still annoys me immensely! Lol

[@joshuarodriguez1262]

OK this series is so beautifully done WELL DONE! You can tell they actually care about the show and understanding it in all it's layers rather than just pumping out nonsense theories every 24 hours

[@dragon12claw]

the full saying, "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb " kinda tears that whole point apart

[@Ellen-wm5mq]

Catelyn was such a bad ass momma!!

[@MsAsh3070]

Given that the Northern houses are probably gonna be decimated in the first few episodes of the upcoming season, it'd be really awesome if you'd do a couple more of them - house Mormont could be a fun one. And I think the Karstark and Umber kids were brought in just to be wight fodder so it'd be fun if you do a background video on those two houses before they're completely wiped out :)

[@kevingreenfield4815]

They did House Mormont about a year ago

[@Krytonian1960]

These GOT Symbolisms are great. Can you do House Clegane, the house Sandor is a member of?

[@Nooooooooooooooooooooo7913]

I am getting my LIFEEEE from this back to back GoT content 😩😩😩🔥🔥🔥

[@aiyacharlene]

jaime: you've become a real she-wolf in your later years! there's not much fish left in you! catelyn: and GAG HIM!!!

[@StrawHat979]

OMG double GoT upload thank you

[@ChesVlog]

Your videos are getting me hyped now for S8

[@IonTorch52]

In the books Catelyn tells Eddard to accept King Robert's position as Hand of the King, even after he said he would refuse it. For some reason the show flips this around.

[@abbyjames1131]

Show Catelyn did something rare - beat out her book characterization. Ironically, book Cat said Ned HAD to accept the hand position. The whole monologue about Jon’s fever wasnt in the book either, which surprised me because I found it so well done and touching. All in all, Cat is another “love to hate” character who is greatly misunderstood (a lot like Sansa)

[@tereziamarkova2822]

I wonder, is this the end of the "House Symbolism" series of videos, or will they do more minor houses? Many of those they have already done, like Boltons or Tarlys, aren't a part of the "big seven", what other houses could they cover?

[@X-Bones]

Technically the Boltons were a great house for a short period of time

[@maraton4966]

I love the way how The Blackfish punches Karstark 😅

[@rajdutta2842]

Miss u Cat....She was such a badass....Smart,reasonable,strategic,fierce,loving & caring....RIP 😭😭 👇 👇 👇 Now come bite me Jon snow fanboyz

[@mitabose5739]

True that

[@shiell6360]

Catelyn is the best mother in the show. Yet she died a painful death. She never discovered that Ned never had a bastard and that one of her son survived and became king. But her remaining children are her legacy. Sansa, lady/queen of the North, Bran King of 6 Kingdoms and Arya following her path.

[@tully667]

Aye! Tis a fine analysis of the best of the houses!

[@narnilphilomythus2821]

Absolutely love this. It would be great to have Houses Reed, Frey and maybe Clegane to finish this series, but you do what you want to do. 🤗
