Hey man hate to ask and sound uncouth , are you man of color? I would love to see your channel get the attention it deserves and I've heard others say they didn't know what had to say about yourself. The fandoms are reaching out trying to help black creators get their due respect. Maybe we could get you some shares and maybe get you on some streams with other content creators to get your channel some viewers it otherwise wouldn't have seen.

Do Spiderman far from home

@@roddammit5510 Hey man, thanks for reaching out. Not sure if you are referring to the stuff happening on twitter between some content creators, but if you are I've been following that as well. I'm definetly happy to see people of color standing up for themselves. Personally, I am the son of hispanic immigrants, but thankfully I don't think race impacts my channel much because of the nature of how I make videos. Most have never seen me and I rarely give my personal opinions, so a lot of political and social drama doesn't come here. And as a result my channel has been growing steadily without issues for years. So thank you for the thought but there are definetly other channels and creators that need help far more than I do, and I wouldn't want to take any attention away from them. :)

Heard and understood my brother. keep up the stellar work

[@mordechaimandel8118]

Please do halo

[@nhanthomasnguyen6231]

well this is much better than the off-screen death they gave him on the show. They did my boy Blackfish dirty

[@mannypardo1080]

The more that I read about ASOIAF, the more that I realize how high the bar has been set for fantasy geopolitics. I lament how all of this lore was either wasted or watered down in later seasons of the show, but I still hope that Martin manages to finish the series off on a strong note.

[@maddawg9636]

Just makes me wonder how better it would have been if they started with a different event instead of Game of Thrones, if it was Aegons Conquest or Dance of the Dragons or Blackfyre Rebellion, the show would have been way more succesful (Although GOT was the biggest show of all time prior to horrible last seasons) because unlike GOT this events had finished materilal from the books.

[@frankcrosby6222]

So bummed this show burned... and the sequels and prequels are burning. At least I got your voice Civilization X. You are my silmarillion to GOT

[@ragnar3394]

Well I guess you were wrong. The prequel is definitely looking great 5 episodes in

[@cmdrshprd4219]

As always love your content

[@ianalexander7305]

possibly my fav non pov character in asoiaf. such a badass. Loyal to robb. gotta love this man. thanks for the good work

[@debrickashaw9387]

Same

[@pieterhofkens7259]

Eh, my favorite is probably oberyn. Favorite pov character is victarion

[@deniswood5271]

I don't like the House Tully that much but I do like the Blackfish.

[@napolien1310]

Waiting for the reappearance of the Blackfish in the books and what problem will he cause to his king and family's enemy.

[@KingMckay]

Always refreshing to get a quick bite of lore in the trade marked CivilizationEx fashion! Excellent as always :D

[@look4lec]

GRRM said Jeyne Westerling is going to be the prologue of The Winds of Winter and I actually think Brendan will be in it as well. The show messed it up big time, but if we pray, maybe George can finish the books.

[@Brandonhayhew]

Martin has abandoned TWOW

[@mightyizzy2470]

Nice video really appreciate the work

[@ACMilan169]

Would love to see one on Bronn. Great stuff!!

[@aamirrazak3467]

Awesome video, the blackfish is such a cool character, I am excited to see where his story will take him next in the future ASOIAF books, hopefully winds comes soon

[@rosetownstumpcity]

your channel is so great...it is very informative, so entertaining, extremely well produced.... i guess all i can say is THANK YOU for the high quality content covering so many topice

[@seldomsane5278]

Awesome, thx for the vid mate

[@melkormorgothbauglir.4848]

Thank you my man.

[@The_Bear21]

would love to see more character lore videos.

What if blackfish meets lady stoneheart along with jaime lannister coming to because of Brienne?

[@jesusllanas9318]

Orgy

[@QueenDaenerysTargaryen]

Your content is amazing👍

[@madambutterfly1997]

Blackfish is the only Tully worth anything.

[@madambutterfly1997]

And he may very soon join the forces of lady stoneheart

[@Brandonhayhew]

Still waiting for TWOW. Edit: wait that will never happen.

[@calebwinfield1403]

Your videos are tho best. Could you possibly look into doing a video on House Hightower or Valyria?

[@cheeselover626]

I am unsure of where you get the animations from but regardless I think some of the people should be updated to look like their descriptions in the books. E.g. Edmure should be updated for red hair, Tywin should be updated for mutton chops, and Lysa should be updated to be fatter.

[@spacepiratejacen2258]

I think I butted heads with this guy before lol Good stuff thank you!🌌☠️🏴🧔

[@giannischatzivasileiou]

You should do a video about the Kree Empire in the MCU.

[@ldarkllrevanl181]

Brynden is probably going to winterfell where he will join Jon and his council and Jon might even help him retake riverun

[@SHARKVADERS]

CivEx!!!

[@theWazimu]

You should do Carnival Row lore... insanely crazy good universe..

[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

Robb and the Blackfish screwed up when they didn't explain their plan to Edmure, then they blamed him for making a tactical decision without full knowledge of the strategic situation. Merely giving a commander the vague, hold your ground before an engagement doesn't allow for the changes in situation that happen in war. Edmure held Tywin, defended his smallfolk and exploited a tactical advantage insofar as he was aware. The fault lies with Robb and the Blackfish for not explaining the strategy to their subordinate or making sure he understood his orders purpose.

[@richardfitzpatrick9732]

I agree if Robb and Blackfish had just told Edmure not too head West not too move let the Lannisters come too us unfortunately it didnt work out In a way Edmure had the right too attack his lands were getting burned by the mountain what was he supposed too sit and watch while his small folk get slaughtered they could of told part of the plan

[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

@@richardfitzpatrick9732 This is an accurate assessment. Robb and the Blackfish effectively used Edmure as a scapegoat in private for their own failing. Which to me seems to come from rationalizing after the fact. If the original plan had indeed been what Robb and Brynden describe, it doesn't make any sense at all not to inform Edmure of the strategy due to the crucial role he was supposed to play in it. I've often considered Robb Stark to be the best tactician in Westeros, but the worst strategist.(Well Balon might be worse in both regards to be fair.) Because he is brilliant on the battlefield, but he never had a coherent method to end the war, achieve final victory or what his end goals effectively were. His expansion to cover the Riverlands into his Kingdom was strategically a terrible move due to the vulnerability of the region, the decimation it had already been visited and that it effectively took his Northern troops far from their homes to fight for to them a foreign land. Tywin by contrast is only a competent tactician, but a masterful strategist. The best of both worlds would be Stannis who is both a master tactician and brilliant strategist.

[@leonardobautista2647]

In the show I don't think jamie ever met the black fish before

[@JesusLopez-mv6fd]

U should make a star wars video on vitiate

[@stayfaded69]

One of the best warriors in the books. I shall not speak of the bullshit last half of the show

[@magnusthered4973]

This mans life is complicated family dying, wars again

[@chriskim3324]

do a timeline on avatar the last airbender plz

[@spicyicecream3781]

I suggest also making content from Warhammer 40k universe, for new content

[@yishaqdavid2029]

No spinoff will come from the failed ASOIAF series. After it failed so badly during the last 2 seasons everyone I know who was obsessed with ASOIF like me and watched videos online about every aspect of its lore and story now does not care at all. I'm still subscribed and just happen to watch a video here and there. Most people feel like they were stabbed in the back with the insane last 2 seasons.

[@anormaldudewhowasattackedb9864]

Hey man, i hope you are earning enough from doing youtube because youre really underrated views wise

Most of my views comes from older videos. I still don't make much money, but it's enough to survive, and since I love what I do it's worth it for me. But thanks for the concern :)

[@Spongebrain97]

Do we know why he never felt like getting married? I think it might simply be because he hates being told what to do and wanted to make his own way in life. Or maybe he was gay or asexual 🤷‍♀️

[@CivilizationEx]

We don't know for sure, but there is speculation he is gay.

[@Farb_dk]

Brynden got the big gay
