I really liked your point about the human on the sigil instead of an animal, symbolizing the Bolton's attitude toward humanity. I never put that together before, but that makes complete sense. Thank you!

[@richardjackson9584]

If you turn the sigil into crucifix not changing it's colors but just turning the image of the flayed man from upside down to upright, and the "X" into a "T" or Cross. Would it be any better than the crucifix of Christianity

[@benedictjephcote6815]

Notable, also, is that Ramsay was killed by (his) animals. "They're loyal" he states, but then we see that Sansa is right. When the animals are starving, they show their animal nature and feed upon him. :-|

[@noahhathaway5065]

@@richardjackson9584 yes because Christians dont crucify people. The crucifix is for honor, the X is to show what they do to their enemies

[@ryanarment5393]

And that the human is upside down, thus keeping him concious through the process. It shows that the Boltons weren't just mindlessly savage and sadistic. They knew how to effectively employ their sadism to the greatest effect.

[@nothosaur]

One problem with that sigil is that when it is placed on shields in the field of battle, the enemy is reminded that surrender leads to torture. This encourages the enemy to fight to the death. There may be times when the Boltons want to spare their soldiers and make a demand for surrender. The enemy would never agree to that.

[@ashleynicole333]

That's actually a great point. I'm sure you'd have to be pretty desperate to surrender

[@KROGANLovesKittensAndPuppies]

Moat Cailin failed to consider that and Ramsay turned them into roadside decorations

[@knightofcaliban146]

It could also make them run, or better yet, deter uprising in the first place. When off the battlefield, the flayed man is a constant reminder of the penalty for stepping out of line. In battle, it could go both ways in terms of morale.

[@shk1542]

I recommend doing House Baelish with their mocking bird symbol!

[@arthurteixeira9866]

SH that would be great! I would love a comparison between the original sigil (the titan of bravos) and the one Littlefinger took (the mockingbird)

Mockingbird is not house Baelish symbol. Littlefinger took that symbol only for himself, and we don't have enough Baelishes for a sample to make a video.

There is a certain randomness about Bolton cruelty that scares the shit out of me. As horrible as the Lanisters are, there's always a reason for their cruelty, but being cruel just for the sake of it, that's just scary but also fascinating, it's why even though I wanted Ramsay to die, I'll still miss him on the show.

Anyone else notice that during House Starks reign in Winterfell, there was at least a little sunshine that peeked out through the North’s rainy overcast sky. But, when House Bolton takes reign over Winterfell there’s not even a hint of sunlight throughout The North. It’s just dark, colder with Winter on its way & an atmosphere of despair & hopelessness glooming over The North.

I will always find Roose more frightening then Ramsey. Calculating cruelty is always more menacing. But.... Reek didn't corrupt Ramsey. Reek...just kind of enabled it and the two liked eachother. As much as someone like Ramsey could like someone anyway

I still wish the show had incorporated the pink color scheme the Boltons' banners had in the books instead of the generic red and black "bad guy" aesthetic. Pink Boltons was one of those cool unconventional details GRRM came up with, and also extra creepy that they literally color their sigil after the flesh of the people they flay. Ramsay in the show ended up being a hugely generic villain right down to the way he was dispatched in a conventional final battle with the good guys and then "ironically" eaten by his own dogs, and the change in color scheme reflected that.

[@st4ne4rmthevill63]

I think that we’re forgetting something important. The only reason that Ramsay is alive is because Roose sees him as his son. He could have just killed his bastard, but he didn’t. There’s actually a scene that shows that no matter what, Roose will always know that Ramsay is his son.

[@mizuha-chan4145]

Then again, Roose does remind him that he is a Snow, rather than Bolton. And I think there was that one time in the books where he straight up told him about the rape that gave birth to him.

One of the few Valyrian houses that came with the Targaryens. I wish they were in the show more as well. The Targaryens are not the last Valyrians. Hell, even the Baratheons are a Valyrian house, although greatly diluted through intermarriage with Westerosi houses. Orys Baratheon was a Valyrian general. Even their name, Baratheon, is clearly more related to Valyrian language than anything Westerosi. The other Valyrian house is House Celtigar.

[@danieltukua4527]

In the books Jon was technically legitimized. He's signed as the heir to being the King in the North by Robb should anything happen to him before he has a legitimate heir. As we all know, something does happen to Robb before he has a child. Which makes Jon the king in the North.

[@saranemcova5448]

Not confirmed yet. Robb suggested it, that's all. And by that time, Bran and Rickon were believed to be dead.

[@Life4Metalcore]

I disagree with the video's notion that Roose isn't a gray character. He's the Tywin of the North, a sort of ruthless pragmatist. While he's hated for the Red Wedding, Roose had very good reasons for his betrayal. He knew the war was lost for the North. If you recall the Freys gave almost all their men to Rob when he crossed. He only had 400 to give. Robb would have likely lost the war anyway costing thousands more lives on both sides. To quote Tywin better to kill a few at dinner than thousands in the field. While his actions were despicable they can be justified if you look at it from his perspective. He wasn't totally evil, unlike his son.

[@sophiejones7727]

yes, and no. The Red Wedding wasn't galling simply because it was brutal. It was galling because it was so unnecessarily brutal and the killers seemed to take so much pleasure in committing the act. Tywin Lannister would simply have murdered Robb and Catelyn Stark: and preferably kept his own hands clean of the deed. Other people might do despicable things, but the Boltons are the only ones who brag about brutality and indeed go out of their way to be brutal.

[@lucasmorais7646]

Sophie Jones I think Roose is a complete monster but without the massacre of the northern troops the deal would not work. Tywin needs to get rid of the enemy (and he doesn't take half measures, the Reynes and Tarbeks can attest) and Roose needs to bleed the other lords in order to maintain vast superior numbers under his command. Theon is aghast when he sees how overwhelming in comparison to other houses is the Bolton army when Roose returns home with the troops. Some houses from the North lose so much men thanks to Roose's calculating treachery they can barely pose a threat on their own. And in the books Roose, being tied by blood to Ryswells and Dustins, has powerful allies in the North as well. Not to mention the Karstarks and Freys. He will still lose though like Tywin did because thankfully GRRM is harsh but not nihilistic like some of his fans.

[@davejacob5208]

yeah, the guy who hangs a man simply because he didn´t ask him before marrying a girl and then rapes said girl right beyound her hanging husband and who lets his mean beat her almost to death when she brings him his basterd is absolutely grey. the boltons are absolutely (unrealistically) evil.

[@lucasmorais7646]

Completely agree about "absolutely evil" but not unrealistically. These type of horrible things happened and still happen (not the first night thing but authorities torturing and abusing those below them in societal structure). And a powerful and utterly unscrupulous guy like Roose that has power purely by blood has basically a free reign to abuse his servants because he is relatively discreet and careful.

[@loki2240]

@@st4ne4rmthevill63 - But the Boltons weren't reliable. They were even a threat to the North. I don't believe in genocide, and at any given point in time there may have been Boltons like Domeric. But I'd execute every single person associated with that house who participated in torturing, raping, etc. And I'd execute every single leader who took up arms against the Starks and their allies. I'd level the Dreadfort, and there would no longer be a House Bolton. All of the survivors would be commoners. All of the houses that were their allies would be led by those who weren't executed. I would express sympathy for any who supported the Boltons out of fear. But for any who may have agreed with the Boltons, they would be warned that they would be executed and their houses would be ended like the Boltons, if they continued any funny business. You shouldn't be so desperate for protection that you'll keep a serious, ongoing threat next door. I'd raise common people to noble people and help them build new castles, before I'd tolerate the bad Boltons and people like them. The Starks could've also given the lands of the Boltons and their allies to Starks and their allies who weren't 1st or 2nd in line to be an heir within their household. For example, 3rd children or aunts and uncles. *Actually, ideally I'd try to lay groundwork to end that system of government and create a constitutional republic. But I doubt that the king and the other houses would be very happy about that.

[@blitzkrieg2928]

Me neither , now i love them for doing it first , ours is the flay showsrunners ruined Martells

[@alexfurnas1263]

It's ScreenPrism not BookPrism, and there's very little substantive material for any of those houses in the show. Greyjoy maybe, but they haven't been explored in any depth since Season 2. There's just not much Tully material, and the Martell material is thematically incoherent garbage.

[@Sara-bk2ny]

Alex Furnas Well, she has A Song of Ice and Fire and A World of Ice and Fire to take informations from. I liked House Martell a lot in the books, and they have an interesting history with princess Nymeria and Rhoynars (I think I misspelled it, sorry). But yea, in the show, the house is garbage, not having Aegon, the prince of Dorne is being seen as an useless person, which is a shame, because he is really cool with his plans of revenge

[@st4ne4rmthevill63]

Icanohzyl bcz they all suck honestly.

[@juanita-dark]

Next time show wants to convince us these guys are master flayers, try and make sure the actors in question can peel an apple with a knife: that scene with Ramsay and Osha was as distracting af.

The Braveheart clip features Rupert Vansittart who plays Yohn Royce on GoT.

[@joeymcquade6882]

I wanna request The Reigns family their similarities and then eventual demise from house Lannister. Keep up the good work, love these videos.

[@stardust6643]

No offense, but Bolton's symbols remind me of England flag!

[@adjaphbootys9520]

star dust The english flag is just a red cross on a white field. The British flag is a combination of the Scottish and English flags, displaying the royal rule and dominion over both countries. afaik the Welsh aren't even included in the flag.

[@thomasbaird7004]

Reminds me of the confederate flag

[@armorsmith43]

Red, White, and Black are the colors of the blood banner of the National Socialists and Hitler boasts of it in Mein Kampf. I think the show's art directors likely took more inspiration from that.

[@michaelholt1480]

Thomas Baird I don't know if that's a insult or a compliment but since I like the boltons I'll take it as a compliment ☺

[@jean-mariecollotdherbois4769]

The Bolton banner has nothing to do with England, the Confederacy, or Nazism for that matter. The show obviously left out the pink, but black, white, and red have always been in use at the Dreadfort.

[@Superunrealfighter]

These are the best :))

[@YeaahDrew]

I love these videos! Keep them coming!

[@moo-moo4758]

Your channel is gold!

[@MyaB1986]

"After finally training Sansa to master the art of cruelty" Sansa is anything but cruel. She is one of the rare characters who rarely takes extreme measures. And killing Ramsay is the only murder she got to execute, although indirectly, but righteously.

[@MimiRAM0NE]

That's a lot of "rare"

[@DanielaCarvalho93]

These videos are awesome! House Martell please 😁

[@Edvinas97]

Great video ScreenPrism, bravo !!!

[@RafaelBenedicto]

I love these GoT symbolism series. Please do House Mormont next!

[@calvin5541]

It's not an embrace of evil, it's an willing acceptance of doing what's needed to win and dominate through whatever means necessary. I wouldn't say roose was evil, tho Ramsey was

[@JolPil]

Wrong. Flaying skins is not needed to win. The DO embrace evil.

[@marlowedunnflom8561]

Could you do a video on either House Arryn or House Martell?

[@earlgrey691]

The Boltons sigil bears an uncanny resemblance to the Union Jack in many ways.Wonder if the author was alluding to something ?

[@coolcat6103]

Jac.....father of the you know who.

[@BBE22OOOWH]

I love these symbolism movies. Keep it up!
