what’s so incredible about this scene is that Hodor seems like a minor character, someone forgettable, but with this backstory of a “nobody” character proves to not only be integral to the plot, but someone who had a destiny since childhood

[@I_Kan]

💚

[@novahina]

Not simply destiny, but Bran saw in the past the "Timewrap" of the 'illness' Hodor suffered as a kid, that would eventually lead to Hodor's death. The timelines were linked, Bran could travel through time.

[@FroggyFroggerz]

@@novahinaYeah but in simpler terms, everything has always been now and will always be forever. nothing will ever change the future everything happens for a reason which is so cool

[@SBezmy]

I think this “oppsie” by an inexperienced magical time traveler makes Hodor even smaller, more minor than minor characters… his life and destiny is literally stripped from him, casually even, to hold a damn door for a minute. It’s beyond horrible

[@novahina]

@@SBezmy It meant that the "timewrap" got interfered, Bran meets the "time period on the occurrence". Bran contacted,by envisioning Hodor, in the past, that event interfered in the "future" timeline where they would meet each other. He was dying as a kid, his illness, through the connection of a "death" of someone else in another timeline.

His entire life from a youth was for one single purpose. To Hold the Door. He was charged with a mission since he was a child because of (1) his heart and (2) his great strength. He spent most of Game of Thrones as an after thought or what people saw as comedic relief/entertainment. But when the truth of his character back story and revelation is revealed WE see he is just as important a character as Jon, Arya, or Bran. He held the Door with all his might, with all his strength and in doing so made the ultimate sacrifice while saving the future of many others through Bran.

[@ThisAintAStupidName]

It hits you right there. Up until Bran possessed him, he was a normal, happy kid. Bran took all that and condemned Hodor to live with his brain cooked until he died for Bran. I wish this would have been more reflected upon. And I wish they had used Brans time-travelling visions more. Such a unique form of magic, and so tragic. There is a well circulated rewrite where Bran tries to warn King Aerys of the walkers, but it results in Aerys going mad and obsessing over "burning them all". As the three-eyed raven said - the past is written, the ink is dry. You cannot change what has been, only learn from it. More exploration of this power would have been so cool.

And this is where the show falls off; maybe there is good development for Brann to become king, but...this scene is the last steppingstone we really see of the writing. How does Brann come to terms with this and his new powers; We'll never really know cause the show went spark notes mode. I think his compassion and guilt for Willis/Hodor will cement his capacity to be king, he wont use his vision or warging carelessly anymore after this point.

Imagine you are hired to play the part of young Wyllis / Hodor. You will be on screen for only a few minutes total. You are guest starring as maybe the most beloved character in all of Game of Thrones. You will do very little except act out the scene where he loses his mind and sees a vision and experiences his own death in the future, a behavior that basically no actor has ever captured on film before, because it's not a typical plot development. You basically say three distinct words over and over, and have to use your ability to act to convey everything else. Millions upon millions of people will see your performance.

I don't usually cry. In fact, over the past five years, I can't remember shedding a single tear. That changed when I first watched that scene. No matter how many times I've tried to watch it again, I can't hold back my tears. Why does it affect me so deeply? Perhaps it's because we knew so little about Hodor's character until that moment, only to be confronted with the tragic origin of his name. Learning that he knew his fate since he was a child, yet still chose to embrace it, is heart-wrenching. It's the realization that he was willing to sacrifice his entire life for this moment, knowing the toll it would take on him, that moves me to my core. It makes me reflect on the nature of destiny and sacrifice. Hodor carried the weight of his future with silent dignity, embodying a level of bravery and selflessness that is profoundly touching. His story challenges us to consider the depth of our own courage and the sacrifices we're willing to make for others. In the end, it's not just the sadness of Hodor's fate that brings us to tears, but the beauty of his unyielding spirit. It reminds us of the unsung heroes in our lives, those who stand in the shadows yet hold us up, often at great personal cost. Hodor's story is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability, the power of silent sacrifice, and the indelible mark it leaves on our hearts.

Red wedding was devastating, but this is just something else.

[@keithdeladurantaye7209]

Greatest scene of all-time in cinema in my opinion. Profound backstory for a character that is in the background for most of the series. I get chills every time I see it!

[@nonkulusenga3751]

2022: Decided to rewatch and this scene still leaves me in tears😭😭😭

[@shrikant146]

This scene is Masterpiece! The story that leads up to scene and how audience emotions are involved is amazing

[@62sy]

I wouldn’t say a masterpiece… I have read far more emotional short stories, that require minimal context to tear up a person. You don’t need a whole story, just the right context is enough. Which is done well here, but I wouldn’t call it a masterpiece.

[@imnotakingimnotagodiam..ab9455]

The fact I have a son with epilepsy, makes this scene the most heart breaking I ever seeing.

[@andyesoimeme9401]

So sorry 😭😭. Your son is a blessing to mankind. What he lacks, he shall definitely gain 100 times

[@missdee4927]

My brother has epilepsy so this scenes hits for me on that level too.

[@christinalittleton3771]

My mom had that until I lost her at age 12. I still cower in fear while closing my ears when they show scenes like that on TV (while I reach for the remote to mute it before I change the channel).

[@valentin4155]

I know, this hurt me so much , the pai of being helpless, not able to donanything but wait 😢

[@marcelo2169]

Totally get it, in Logan during the scene he is dragged by his clone, I saw the spitting image of my father. It hurt twice and I felt legit horror for Logan, like it was my father being dragged.

[@abhirajkumar882]

This is the best scene I have ever seen in my life . I get tear in my eyes every time I watch this scene. Truly masterpiece. The background music is mind blowing.❤

[@nyqa]

Genius writing and production. All the questions about Hodor saying his own name for several seasons finally gets answered. In the most brilliant way.

3:42 I remember seeing this part for the first time and I broke here. Something truly poetic

[@BangNoShock]

I'm sobbing like crazy. What makes this scene gut-wrenching is how pure and kind Hodor was. He served and protected Bran faithfully for this very moment. The actors, writers and crew truly outdid themselves with this scene.

[@enriquepetallanotrinidad4377]

Came here from 2024 crying to see this wonderful piece of art😊

[@muffaddalkharodawala174]

[@Ginax2]

This is such an incredible episode and I remember the intense emotions I felt the night it came out.. so beautifully written

[@ibuprofenPill]

Definitely the most emotional scene in the entire series and a memorable one in television altogether.

[@Samex4rill]

When I realized Hodor was a painful abbreviation of Hold the Door, I got so emotional. Damn! Such an intense moment and a heartbreaking time loop!

[@zackgammo4333]

Everything about this scene is perfect. Obviously the realization that hodor spent his whole life for this one moment. The horrifying realization of how powerful bran is. The music is amazing. The look on brans face. The actor did such a good job in this moment

[@kneedropperr]

I like to think that as Wylis/Hodor begins to calm towards the end, it's not just the subsiding of a seizure; it's him coming to terms with his fate and finding peace with it.

[@oberstul1941]

When the "Goodbye, Brother" music starts, I couldn't "hold the door" for my tears. Such a tragic and bittersweet moment.

[@tenogy2431]

After this , Bran was so devestated that he somehow was responsible of his death, so he lost all emotions.

[@creativityreimagined]

Genuinely cried at this scene. Couldn't watch it at one go. Had to pause multiple times. Props to the child Hodor for an absolute 'epileptic' performance🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 And ofc our beloved adult Hodor. You have been the most loyal servant of the Starks. RIP 😩

[@ammarvir.0107]

From Hodor to Hold the Door, character revelation and transformation was amazing.

[@JuanTorres-ke5ul]

This is the reason Bran truly became detached and unemotional, the guilt he carries for the destroyed life of Hodor, the fear of the sheer devastating power he has over time and over others destroyed him and so to never allow it to happen again he has become what we would call a machine.

[@LoneWolf-km7rg]

He lightens up after the Night King is killed though.

[@nickhanneman3108]

I mean its not

[@Phantom19913]

no its because the power consumed him.

[@Legendary-zh9hd]

not a machine The machine.

[@TheUltimateCow]

No. That's dumb. It's because he isn't Bran anymore. He says it. He says he only remembers what it was like to be Brandon Stark.

[@DanielSalvatori-tt9rr]

I’m a grown 50 year old man raised in the streets of the Bronx, tough as nails. I cried for the second time watching this again.

[@____Rahaf]

I have decided to watch game of thrones last year and I finished the entire seasons. I couldn’t bare watching this scene 🥺 *A true masterpiece 👏🏻*

[@edwardduda4222]

I hate when both of them finally reach Winterfell, Bran is just like, "Thanks for the ride bitch. You can leave now."

[@MichellsAdventures]

God damn it...this scene still makes me cry and I’ve watched it half a dozen times

[@longnguyenvan1306]

Heartbraking scene, every people will remember you Hodor. You teach us what the loyalty really is. Forever love you

[@warbossgrotsmasha23]

not all heroes wear a cape, some hold the door

[@aamnahid2206]

the most emotional & heartbreaking scene of GoT. I was cried after watching this scene.. A man was thought hodor is just no one, but now he think hodor is a special one..

[@naman1896]

Still gives me goosebumps. The only scene in GOT where i almost cried.

[@mohammedbenzaamia7009]

Cried back then... Crying now 😢

[@michaelmahima]

Just the layers of creativity that culminated in this moment is something special and what I continually ponder about from time to time including now. Low key the most underrated moment of the show.

[@souljaunt3291]

I have so much respect for this GOT writers. That "Hold the door" story really blew my mind and till this day I have nothing but love and respect for them. Hands down one of my favorite TV show story. 😟

[@Jabullz]

It's not "writers" it's an author. George R. R. Martin

[@thewind6047]

The writers have nothing to do with it lol it’s based on a book

[@TheDorianTube]

@@Jabullz Wrong.

[@TheDorianTube]

@@thewind6047 Wrong. The books aren't complete, G R R Martin is still writing them. These events here have yet to be written by the author. In fact he himself said that in his book, when he will reach this moment, this scene is not going to be present. Not as shown here. It's going to be a whole different thing. This scene here is all from the writers of the show. In the book Hodor is also going to hold this door, but it's going to be for different reasons and nature. No time travel, no Hodor = Hold the Door brainwash style. All different. Besides, even tho they take from the books, it's hardly a 1 to 1 transcription. For example, Tyrion is extremely different in the Books. An actual villain, petty, vindictive, and destructive. Tyrion in the show is charming, unsung Hero, with many unspoken morals and gallantry, even good looking. Way different. That's all the show's merit. They still share a ton at the core, but they really differ. Actually pretty interesting. Search ''The real Tyrion Lannister'' here on KZbin, it has almost 3million views. Shows the differences between the two. It's 1h long, but worth it.

[@chrisvanart]

@@TheDorianTube Seems reasonable. Everyone knows this scene and putting it in the book will just be anticlimactic. Lets hope he'll finish the last books, lots of people are hoping for a more satisfying conclusion.
