(GoT) Ser Barristan Selmy || The Bold

[@galanoftaa6439]

He’s still alive in the books. I hope he at least makes it to the last book.

[@dovahfett5919]

Or dies valiantly protecting his queen and not in an alley by essentially a bunch of spoiled rich nobles cowardly hiding behind masks

[@rhaevan.maniyara]

@@dovahfett5919 I think Barristan will outlive the Long Night. Jorah will most definitely die.

[@eucalypso]

He didnt deserve to die!!

[@naomi00723]

Years from now, at least for me, after reading the books, the show gave him a terrible ending. Completely horrible writing.

[@Sajasta]

I hoped he died fighting the night king in the most badass way.

What a monster 💪💪💪

Underrated comment

[@Betroid]

WOW SO WHEN ROBERT WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS FIRST KILL AFTER HE GOT KNOCKED OFF HIS HORSE IT WAS SIR BARESTON WHO DID IT SMALL WORLD

[@thanos_karagiannhs5320]

@@Betroid noo, the entry is talking about baristan unhorsing Robert in a tourney, not a battle

[@jazhanay19]

Barristan defeated Duncan the Tall at 16

[@colmanoconnell964]

While the masses fled he ran towards the threat. A true Knight!

[@reisekeller6859]

"Men of honor" are rare... and rarely honored!

[@X-Bones]

Not only was his death too soon and inconsequential, but it was just weirdly written. He gets a vague order to do ......something from Daenerys, than wanders out into the streets of a huge city, than stumbles on a fight in the streets with the unsullied, kills a few sons of herpes, than dies. Barriston the Bold everybody!🙌👏🙌👏🙌👏🙌👏

[@nilocblue]

What I loved most about him was his voice.

[@arnavdeora2269]

This is the best story displayed by a yt channel . U did him better than the show runners did .

[@StannisMR]

Thank you :)

[@rhaevan.maniyara]

"No, your Grace.. He didn't die in that ally."

[@ethanmitchell7479]

I honestly think that if his character hadn’t been killed off and he had lived he would’ve changed Daenarys story completely He was one of the only if not the last man to know both the good and the bad of the Targaryens he saw Aerys Madness yet Rhaegars kindness He understood both sides of history and was a devout man of honor the actor that portrayed him said he was thrilled to play him believing this would be a long journey and then he was just killed off He is still alive in the books I believe and I hope he makes it till the end he’s a name in my book of some of my favorite underrated characters from the show Be at Peace Ser Barristan the Bold Faithful king and Queensguard The legendary painter Who only used Red……..

[@Jarzula]

Bro was willing to die to fulfill his duty than retire. One of the best in GoT

[@TheDeviantLord]

So in the end...he died for nothing. Thanks D&D

[@santiagosenoran1217]

I like how this videos make every character look like the main character

[@Argos-xb8ek]

This is what makes Varristan a tragic hero in a sense he is a good man who did honorable and glorious things in the service of men unworthy of his service.He saved Aerys II in a suicide mission fought at the trident and garnered so much respect that Robert the main rebel himself sent his own personal maester to aid and heal Barristan. Selmy in the books is a man haunted by thebfailures of his past unable to truly live in peace of his life because hes looking for one more deed to atone the failures in not saving those he swore to protect

[@hibbidyjibbidyy]

when barristain drew his sweord, eevn the hound was worried

[@StarWarsCreations]

Great tribute man! Made me reminisce on the good old days watching this show 👌

[@StannisMR]

Thanks bro, I’ve been planning a series of edits for the smaller characters of thrones that didn’t get the justice they deserved in the show :)

[@StarWarsCreations]

Awesome! Anything you make is top notch so I look forward to seeing those

[@Tommyleon225]

Killed in an alley by brigants. Absolute Bullshit

[@Divinemakyr]

I was so excited to watch Barristan kick the ass of a legendary pit fighter, Khrazz, at like age 60. Disappointed it wasn't there.

[@dovahfett5919]

He's an absolute bad ass

[@rehmanmir7865]

Khrazz was undefeated, stronger, and faster. But Barristan was armed with experience and he knew exactly how Khrazz would fight: with pride and arrogance. Barristan is so sick man, the show didn’t do him any justice, except for the “like carving a cake” scene

[@rahul-141]

My favourite knight

[@czarnamamba1177]

The biggest knight in history!

[@milosradivojevic229]

Barristan Selmy THE KINGBREAKER!

[@jmace2424]

The hero of the Defiance of Duskendale doesn’t get got in an alley! Barristan the bowled over by d&d’s stupidity more like!

[@tido8857]

The tragedy is despite being one of the greatest warriors, he failed almost the people he vowed to protect.

[@winterman8248]

If he wanted, he could carve D&D like a cake.

[@DinsRune]

They say that there are old men, and there are bold men, but there are no old, bold men... Those that say it have never met Ser Barristan The Bold.

[@Nugget721]

Counter riposte. Such badass move.

[@songohan511]

When I think of Ser Barristan Selmy, one word comes into my mind: chivalry

[@jacobdarling1524]

If he’d had his armor on he’d have carved through every harpy in the city like cake.

[@ameliaflynnhayes]

Barristan Selmy was a knight to the end

[@MrPyrilo]

Such a shame with the show. They should have added a scene mentioned in the book where he rolls out of kings landing despite the gold cloaks trying to stop him at least.

[@rahulverma8774]

so he really cuts them like cake in the book ??

[@MrPyrilo]

@@rahulverma8774 The book implies the queen had the gold cloaks try and apprehend him as he leaves city. He does not submit to that and cuts his way through them.

[@ViewTube_Emperor_of_Mankind]

The Hand of the Queen.

[@eloyball]

The show did so much injustice to his character, we never saw his prowess, only heard that he was the one of the best swordsman alive, and yet he died fighting nameless thugs 🤦‍♂️

[@thomasromeo-fh6ce]

Died in an Ally like the gangster he was

[@Mackerlee]

He could cut through the five dudes like he was carving a cake but some clown ass Harpys slew him? Nah.

[@ikhlaqkhan3261]

Is a life of Honor, Justice, and Faith, really better than a life of Courage, Kindness, and Discipline?

[@stephanbaehr6566]

Among the many things the TV show did dirty at the end, Barristan of the books was this legendary fighter. Yeah he was old, but he was still relatively fast, in good shape. Whereas LotR gave Boromir a field of jacked orcs in a field before arrows brought him down... what, 7 untrained, unarmored, dagger-wielding assassins with knives were too much for Barristan in a hallway? Please. A Queensguard without his armor, when the city is awash with murder, especially of Dany's soldiers? Come on. Its just so contrived. Weak. There are plenty of ways to write in a guy like Barristan dying. This was not it.

[@theeternal2734]

I'm Pretty Sure There Were Characters That D&D Straight Up Didn't Like And/Or Didn't Know What To Do With Them So They Just Died

[@alphamineron]

It’s a joke how Daenerys never equipped her “Queensguard” with any heavy armor.

[@milosradivojevic229]

writing was joke in books he had armor

[@ViewTube_Emperor_of_Mankind]

His death in the show is an insult to well written character in the books and even more it is an insult to the great actor Ian McElhinney.

[@rajivwelikala5062]

I think Barristan is the best fighter , not Arthur Dayne

[@eedwardgrey2]

George RR Martin confirmed he could beat Dayne, if Dayne were wielding a regular sword instead of Dawn.

[@eurongreyjoy1008]

@@eedwardgrey2 no. he just said they are equal when Dayne is not wielding Dawn

[@BruceWayne-fj9bm]

George Martin confirmed that if Dayne didn’t have his mega sword it would be an even fight.

[@eucalypso]

What a shit ending they give to this character. He deserved to be still alive

[@milosradivojevic229]

in books he is leading Danny army in battle for Mireen.Hizdar wanted to open gates and betray Danny so he arrested Hizdar and now he is queens hand
