Ned | GOT REVIEW (Season 1)

[@commas1219]

I love how quiet and calm Glidus is on a regular basis before Season 8 gave him trauma and turned him into a raving animal

[@Glidus]

Sad reaccs only

[@drartemisa21]

I watched the season 8 reviews first so I was surprised when I watched this one.

[@Aspie_Aunty]

Season 8 gave us all trauma

[@imtired9395]

God be hurting all of Game of Thrones for Glidus' character development

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

Robert Baratheon was so much better in the show than the books. Book Robert came off as nothing but a great, drunken lummox, but there was a bit more to him than that in the show. A lot of it comes down to the excellent performance, but they added a few extra scenes and lines that add dimensions to his character.

[@aidanabregov1412]

“CAAAAAAAAAAAAT!”

[@michielmanders9766]

He is a different character. A better person in the show maybe, but a bad person doesn't equate to a bad character. The point in the books is that he is broken by the loss of Lyanna and never recovered.

[@justink5000]

​@@michielmanders9766 you think so? I never got the impression he even really knew Lyanna. He has always seemed more enamored by the idea of her. Also, Lyanna didn't even want to marry him. I think what really "broke" him, as you say, is the boredom of being king; the fact that his physical strength doesn't matter anymore and he's instead supposed to be scheming against Varys, Littlefinger and the Lannisters, which is absolutely not his strong suit. He has basically been living a life diametrically opposed to what his character and abilities are like, and on top of that, he developed an addiction to alcohol. He probably projected a lot of his negative emotions on the loss of Lyanna so he didn't have to face the real reason below it.

[@elijahrodriguez647]

@@justink5000tbf you just explained why he’s still a good character in the books , just far more enjoyable in the show . But super well written as hopeless in the first book. Fucking superb breakdown of roberts character btw , one of the best descriptions while being so concise that I’ve seen .

Funniest fact in GoT is that after the season 8, Robert is still the best king in the whole show.

[@theearthisaseriesoftubes3768]

Anthony Aurel it was actually Joffrey he predicted that Danny would be a problem and kept the religious zealots at bay. He was however a sociopathic sexual deviant but all leaders have their faults☝🏾(Thomas Jefferson raped a 13 year old black girl).

[@AlesMicik]

@@theearthisaseriesoftubes3768 Yeah but there weren't any wars during his rule.

[@ZexCentral]

@@theearthisaseriesoftubes3768 Well it wasn't just Joffrey who predicted Danny would be a problem, numerous other characters did as well, including Robert who was far more assertive in actually attempting to do something about it... also it wasn't Joffrey who kept the Sparrows out of King's Landing, it was Tywin.

[@Glidus]

Yes, I know the music is too loud at times, or rather the narration is too soft. It won't happen again. You can stop telling me now. Thanks! edit: after 4 years of knowing this was a problem, i have finally made closed captions for this video, woohoo.

16:22 I like how you felt the need to reinforce the fact Pycelle is "old" twice; really drove the point home. If I take anything away from this video it will be Pycelle's age. Thank you.

[@Glidus]

Well just calling him old once would never do him justice.

[@Luuuna]

"Old" twice, and also "ancient" Not even twice would do him justice

[@jammydodger277]

Ned wasn't just trying to avoid slaughter of children with Blobert (14:30). He was hoping for Blob's redemption, by becoming a good man like he used to be, who Ned loved as a young rebel, who would spare a Targaryen. In "Song" Ned gets furious with Blobbo when he gets this murderous, accidentally letting his composure slip over this one issue. He's trying to play a long game to redeem Blobbish and protect Jon who he also loves, but fails epicly, and he knows that he's failing which means Mr Honour has to keep lying to his King and everyone else, which he hates and gets cranky about. Ned would only slip like this when he's ashamed or lying or not being a straight-up honour-peddler. Big subtext there. Or maybe I missed the joke. But otherwise, loving your vids please do more. See also: 23:30 - same thing.

[@Locke5413]

Vivid. Lol

[@megamovieman101]

I really liked the times Ned and Barristan would interact. Sean Bean and Ian McElhinney played it like their characters just seemed a lot more comfortable whenever they were speaking to one another. It’s like they each knew the other was the only other honourable person in the city. Maybe Jory and Syrio too, but you didn’t really see that same relief in those scenes.

[@pjay4417]

you and Preston are my favorite GOT youtube channels

[@violentmnky]

This was such a cool format. I really wish you had continued this series. Everwhat, your content rocks either way. Hope to keep seeing you on ye olde Tube.

[@saskiaviking9447]

[@thaneofwhiterun3562]

Honestly, what an awesome video man. Your use of Melancholy Man, despite the humorous nature of the video (which I like too obviously), highlighted the beautiful tragedy of Ned Stark's story.

[@pappadarappa]

27:28 and then Ned took his girls and left for Winterfell to look after his injured son. The end

[@carlrood4457]

I like the dichotomy of Ned's belief that passing judgement means you should carry it out yourself, while his own death was ordered by a pissant who knows nothing of responsibility and carried out by someone who's doing a job. It's also interesting that Bran was the one getting the lesson, considering where he ended up. He'll have the job of passing sentences, but simply won't give a crap about any of it.

Good video, waiting for other videos on following seasons. But those written comments, that you have on screen sometimes, disappear too fast, hard to catch them, especially on phone

[@carlrood4457]

One of the thing about Ned is during the war and sack of King's Landing, a lot of children were murdered, but he only really objected to the murders of the Targaryen children. That's what lead to his first falling out with Robert. It isn't so much murdering innocents, but keeping Robert's mind off of killing Targarayens.

[@waffleless]

I disagree with the point about Waymar Royce in the beginning. When we start on the book, we are maybe expecting to see the common trope of humble peasant (usually a stand in for your average joe-schmoe) prove superior to the self-assured pompous noble. The Night Watch is already showed to not be Arthurian knights before the White Walkers appear, so having the snooty aristocrat display such prowess and bravery prompts you to be more open-minded. I think it is especially helpful since very few central characters in ASoIaF are peasants.
