How Game of Thrones Should Have Ended (Season 8 Rewrite) Part 1

[@flickfanatics7948]

Dear All, Thank you so much for your support! I'm glad the video is doing well and genuinely honoured so many of you have enjoyed it. Many have asked where part two is and I promise it will be out within the next week if not the next few days. I have been on a trip with friends and then graduated high school in the last week so I've only started editing two days ago and the drawings are still being done. We are working hard to make the best possible part two and I hope you understand. That being said, things are coming together and I promise it won't be long now. Panwa

One thing people dont know about Dany (especially the writers) is that she actually never wanted the throne. In the books her quest for the throne is motivated by her constantly being pressured into it, the fear of being killed because of her bloodline, her devotion to her family and the safety of her people. Almost every time we get to see Danys thoughts its always the simple life she craves. She hates her quest and always says things like "im just a little girl, i just want to go home" she always dreams of the red door, a place where she actually felt like a normal girl without all the pressure she has now. So your decision to make dany forfit her quest for the throne isnt weird, its completely in line with her character.

[@TheRoomforImprovement]

Maybe Bran’s line “ you’re exactly where you were meant to be.” could be used here as his last words to jon before he dies. This could imply that he knows about the Azor Ahai prophecy.

[@ryansarratt7520]

I think this is my favorite rewrite. There is just one thing I personally would have added would be that when Jamie arrives at winterfell he arrives with a few hundred soldiers. That way him walking out on Cersei gives meaning

[@nikoloznasaridze6328]

[@danielmunguia8341]

No simply because him alone he knows there is no one backing him against the dead and basically going behind enemy lines in winter fell risking his life against horrible odd. If he went with a full army it wouldn’t feel the same because an army would give the character more assurance for “doing what right”. Therefore by himself it strengthens his decision of risking his life for what’s right and making his retaining of his honor even more legitimate.

What ended up happening on the show is what made tv viewer go mad anyway and even make up their own videos about how the seasons should have gone or watch these kind of videos in the first place.

Absolutely love how u changed Danny for the best, gave actual reason behind the knight kings madness, made him look like an actual badass, gave main characters bigger roles, killed off the ones I thought would die. The list goes on. I wish u would've did the last season! 🤜🤛

This version is so freaking amazing. Well done.( I still would have wanted Missandei to live; might have had Jorah survive the battle at Winterfell and die in that moment.) Also, "for once, Jon is the person who knows more than anyone else" is the best sentence I've heard all week and I'm still laughing at it, so thank you for that.

This is honestly amazing. I love this ending and its such a great story. I wished we got to know Night Kings goal because he is such an intresting character with an intresting story.

[@FrayAdjacentTX]

I think I've heard the basic story this is based off of... if it ended up with Jon having to plunge the sword into Daenerys to forge Lightbringer in order to save their child... THAT would be a bittersweet (and still heartwrenching) ending.

[@pawemarsza9515]

It is Azor Ahai prophecy. In Essos priests and priestesses of R'hllor spread the legend, which claims that during the Long Night humanity was being slauthered, and when all hope was gone, Azor Ahai, the Last Hero, created fiery sword, the Lightbringer, and hardened it with blood of beloved wife, Nissa Nissa, by stabing her heart. Then, using Lightbringer, he pushed the Others back to Lands of always winter. The prophecy claims that Azor Ahai will be reborn to once more fight the darkness and save humanity. Mellisandre believed, that Stannis is Azor Ahai reborn, but in Dance with Dragons we see that she isn't certain and starts to think that it's Jon Snow instead. Personally I think that Jon killing Dany would be too melodramatic, and too predictable, but who knows

[@skywalker6648]

Nah, it still wouldn't make sense to what happens with Dany's and Jon's character arc as he is supposed to be so in love with her. Perhaps, one of the dragons like Rhaegal? Btw, funny how they just left out the Azor Ahai prophecy out altogether.

[@niblet0]

Only 15 minutes in and I'm already in love with the amount of effort involved in retaining the specific details of a story we all love soo much. That was something completely jettisoned in season 8. 15:53 is a screaming *YES* from me! It was explicitly pointed out in season 1 when Arya snuck out of the castle that it was a vulnerability to the Red Keep and then shat upon as all that was built was shat upon in season 8. Fantastic job! I'm really enjoying this version and, as I refuse to rewatch the other version, this is as real an ending in my mind as any other. Nicely done!

[@gaberodriguez4023]

Great job! Every single story choice here is better than what we actually got. I personally wish both Seasons 7 and 8 could have been rewritten, but if we can only rewrite Season 8, then this is the best version I've seen so far.

2:23 Don't worry about keeping the book lore here - the Night King isn't even a character in the books and there is no obsidian-in-the-heart magic, it's not clear why the three-eyed crow (not raven in the books) even wants Bran or what the Children are up to. There is no evidence the Children made the Others yet (that's Book for white walkers), and I doubt in the books killing one Other will make all the battle droids shut down anyway - at least it won't kill the other Others - so the whole basis of season 8 lore is out of whack already so just roll with it! :) Any last minute made up motive to retroactively give to the Night King works just as well as (and probably better than) the one D&D came up with.

If the Night King's whole motivation is to break his curse, why, like, even have slaughter all those living people and have an Army of the Dead? Why is it necessary in the first place? What's it accomplishing to further his goals? Can't he just, like, talk to the TRE/Bran at this point?

[@TheDoRoBouNeko]

Totally true. But considering how dumb human race here, (case to point, the game of thrones itself) this behaviour is actually understandable (altho, not reasonable at all). Especially with really pissed off people.

[@jimbrewer5048]

Na I woulda had the night king trick the heroes and only sent a small force to winterfell. Night king instead marches on kings landing to collect a million more soldiers for the dead. As the heroes realize the truth at winterfell we pan to Cersei looking horrified as she stares down at kings landing being ravaged by the dead. Night king turns her into a white walker using magic and she becomes his “bride” but it’s really more symbolic as the night king mocks the heroes. The final battle really becomes all of Westeros marching on kings landing and in the end the entire capital is destroyed never to be lived in again.

Where is it bro

[@susieexcell3197]

It’s been 5 years since the Game of Thrones ended and I love your version!! It was so on topic and wonderful written..I felt completely satisfied with the way you ended things for all the characters. Danny didn’t have to be a bad crazy queen, . Killing everyone. Her and Jon should’ve had a child.. it would’ve kept the Targaryen dynasty going.. and I loved the way you ended Cercy, Jamie was the one that needed to end her life.. When D&D finished their last season, it was awful and I felt cheated. Thank you for fixing what was broken at the end of Game of Thrones! The battle with the white walkers that you set up was fabulous right up there with Lord of the rings and Helms deep.. It never made sense to me why all their armies were outside the wall. Your ending gave all the characters arks a great ending to finish off their stories. You didn’t take it as far as giving them a Disney ending a true Game of Thrones ending and still satisfied even this fan..

[@susieexcell3197]

Only thing I don't agree with is what you did with Bronn. His big arc is learning to care for something other than money. It'd be really out of character for him to suddenly betray everyone just for a reward, just like he was going to do in the show.

I wasn't sure how I felt about some of this, but Dany being pregnant and Jon and her being together just makes sense, something the writers didn't understand, clearly, and the Night King's motivation and the human version at the weirwood is a stroke of genius. Major props for that.

[@Revelwoodie]

Yeah, you did lose me with the part where Dany just gives up on her pursuit of the throne so she can dedicate herself to her child. You pointed out her dream sequence as evidence that she cares as much about her child as she does about the throne, but it actually shows the opposite. She turns AWAY from the vision of her son, and THEN she is able to see the throne. She chooses that. She would never, NEVER, set aside her desire for the throne.

[@The-Cole-Train]

If that vision had occurred before Drogo and her child had died, I’d agree. But since they were already both dead and she knew they weren’t real in, she chooses the throne.

[@giuf175]

People are really delusional about who dany actually is

[@adriannawiltshire6266]

I like that he made dany rethink the purpose she thought was so important .. plus she gets a second chance at having a baby..even if it had ended that she died in child birth and the child sit the throne. But they build her up as the saviour and breaker of chains and breaking the wheel into a crazy mad queen in 3 episodes..

[@parwannays7121]

Thank you so much for this. Like most of the rewrites I've seen, yours is a real improvement over what HBO gave us. I especially want to thank you for giving some respect to the poor "Nonentities of the Vale." I haven't seen any other version that does this. You even gave Lord Royce a speaking part; way to go. The falcon banner knights saved the North's ass. Then in Season 8, they got essentially no respect. I think you may also be the only one to use the blatantly obvious idea of infiltrating KL through its underground passages. One of the many ways in which Dany and her advisers seem to have turned into morons in Season 8 is that they never even discuss this possibility.
