Jaime's Worst Fear

[@ShahanReviews]

Hey guys, thanks so much for the kind words. Jaime is one of my favorite characters, I'm happy to see this video resonated with so many people. Whether you like Jaime or not, I think we can all agree that Game of Thrones is an amazing show, that we shouldn't take for granted!

[@karimshebeika8010]

jo have you seen or read The Expanse? It is really worth the read (and maybe the watch)

[@julespulp214]

You should've added the moment that Jaime arrives in Kings Landing and sees that Cersei blowed the sept of Baelor with the same wildfire he prevented the Mad King from blowing up. Great video btw, gonna share it! :)

It's so weird how he hated Ned but always looked up to him and sought redemption through him.

[@Ostinato-Obbligato]

He loathed Ned for the fact that one of the most honorable men in Westeros refused to see past his preconceptions of what Jaime he had done and why, judging him as a guilty man for committing what was probably one of the most deserved acts of the entire war. Killing Mad King Aerys would have been seen as a great act if *anyone* other than his Kingsguard had done it, but because he "said some words" (his vows) he was expected to stand idly by while a mad man tore the realm apart and murdered innocents. Jaime Lannister is a victim of human hypocrisy - he did what most everyone in Westeros wanted, but they look down their noses and sneer at him so as to feel better about themselves.

[@tessaricha]

Jamie says that Mad King thought that they all will be reborn from the fire. So from Ned Stark's point of view, who is almost going to win and Lannister army who is at the door. So basically, this war had already been won by the usurpers. All he had to do was, keep the mad king safe. He was fleeing and from what Jamie describes him saying and what he meant by burn them all, it was clear he was unstable and not much threat. From Ned's POV there was no need to kill him, a crazy old man. He was as helpless as you can imagine a losing king to be, who lost his all, family, power, throne, his heir, and his sanity. For Ned he was pitiful character and deserved better death than that.

Because in a world like that, killing the one who you were sworn to protect is the worst thing to do no matter what, due to honor, kingslayer may sound cool, but it sure as hell isn't.

[@ethanalspencer7294]

A scapegoat is someone you can safely and with no social backlash displace every single feeling of guilt or remorse or discomfort on to make yourself feel better about yourself and the shitty things you've done. At any point if someone who was in the rebellion looked back and thought 'Shit, I killed some of the Tarlys and now my house is friends with them, kinda feel bad about that... ah, it was all that fucker Jamie Lannister, that cocksure kingslaying bastard! He's the real guilty one, I was just following orders' they were utilizing a scapegoat to the fullest. Curious and humorous, mind you, how people who 'take sides' in this show with dany or the lannisters or the starks or whatever (thus completely missing the points being made) do the exact same thing with the characters opposite of their 'side'. It's an observation and reflection about the blunt reality of human nature, driven home almost hamfistedly in the first season when the show went to excruciating lengths to say 'See this Ned Stark guy? He's really honorable and all the things we tell ourselves we are and are supposed to be. See him? Got it? Okay, we're killing him and humiliating him right off the bat. Do you get what this means? Please take a minute and process what we're trying to tell you by this.' Alas, people almost immediately forgot and go back to 'Muh Dany/Jon/Stannis/Cersei is the good guy, they're gonna make everything better'

[@SuperNoobz22]

The look on Jaime's face when Ned starts lambasting him for killing the mad king is some amazing acting from Nikolaj. You can really tell that Ned's reaction took Jaime by surprise. You can see the confusion and disappointment because the one person who he felt might've approved of his decision to kill Aerys was thrown it right back into his face.

By that logic, Ned Stark was evil as well. He got his hand cut trying to save Brienne from being raped. Also, 1 million people> Bran Stark. Just because he is an important character doesn't mean he is the most evil man. He is a flawed character. Not a hero. He is us.

[@vincenttanaro5059]

Everyone here is shitting on everyone. The real point of this scene was to show that each side is not doing the right or wrong thing. In an interview about this episode, D and D were talking about how it was two main characters on differnt sides against each other for the first time. Sure, Dany is getting arrogant, and Drogon totally destroyed basically everybody, but she's planned on using them to take the Thrones since the end of season 1. To say that she is an awful person, is sort of hypocritical. She's freed slaves, she's gained loyal followers, etc. It's said plenty of times on the show; a good king/queen must be kind, yet feared. Jaime was an awful person up to season 3, constantly defending how he would "kill anyone" to protect his secret with Cersei. And Cersei is closer to being the Mad Queen than Dany is. Jaime hates that she blew up thr Sept, the only thing was that he wasn't there to prevent it. He could only come back to Cersei on the throne for what she did. Yet, he still has sex with her the episode before this. Basically, both Jaime and Dany are not entirety good people. They'll both kill for their own reasons. Some might be justified and right, while other reasons might be personal and self centered. I love both of these characters, none over the other, but I still would rather see Dany win the Throne, rather Cersei keep it. Even though we all know neither of them will be on it. And while on the subject, many people believe that GoT is getting very feminist, which is not true. They are setting up Dany's downfall, they are setting up Cersei's too. Sansa honestly just deserves where she is, based on what's happened to her. And Arya just started out episode one season one as a bad ass, like the books, and I don't see that trait going anywhere.

[@Luciferus200581]

Anon the Space Cowboy Dany is a monster. Ordered nobles executed by crucifixion, which is a terrifyingly horrible slow and painful way to die. She's a villain who isn't aware of it.

[@gretchendelafuente2805]

finally an accurate comment

[@Top-Lip]

Enigmax200581 The slave masters she crucified Were people who crucified slaves, sexually abused slaves, even the children, mutilated genitals of slaves and turned them into eunuchs, tortored them and forced them to fight gladiators in arenas where they knew they would be slaughtered. Sometimes slaves were forced to fight their own friends and family to death for the entertainment of those nobles. The unsullied she freed were molested, psychologically abused and tortured, they were stolen from their families and forced to forget their names. You think she is a monster for crucifying the slave masters, if anything she gave nothing but a fraction of the justice they deserve for their monstrous behaviour. you are one seriously fucked up person if you support the slave masters because the slave masters are arguably the most evil people in game of thrones, what Ramsay did to theon was normal for slave masters to do to innocent slaves in essos, they are worse than euron, joffrey and Ramsay put together.

[@Top-Lip]

Anon the Space Cowboy Let's be honest, Anything with a woman in it that isn't naked, having sex or being raped is promoting "feminism" or forced diversity. You have to be careful what you say or you might be called a social justice warrior because this is the new mentality of the internet. Petty as it is. You have men who are so absorbed in narcissism they think they are the only audience and expect everything to pander to them because they are the larger than life majority and the rest of the men and women join the bandwagon to seek acceptance and minimalize rejection. Game of thrones has avoided the sjw category because it showed enough tits and vagina to marginally escape. Anyone who calls game of thrones "social justice" is a lunatic because it's not a happy or comfortable plot for anyone, its a really tough analysis on how shit humanity is and why even the heroes are flawed, why war and power cause nothing but suffering and complications and everyone suffers one way or another. There is no justice in game of thrones, only temporary revenge and sometimes even confusion as to who the real good guys are, everyone suffers and there is a lot of room for empathy. Except for joffrey, he's a cunt. The slavers are also ironically worse than everyone else in westeros. the plot is actually very cynical towards the idea of men or women ever really having fairness at all, as emphasised by the constant suffering, the constant emotional reminder that we should feel Pity for the characters instead of pride. Even characters like arya stark are based on stoicism and having to endure her rough experiences, as brave as she is, even she is not immune to the cruelty of the world in which she is raised and is on a constant, unsatisfied internal journey for revenge. Winter is coming is not only a physical reminder of the main event in the plot, but also an early metaphor, forshadowing the brutality and harshness that all the characters will eventually experience. Its not a hopeful plot, and its very believable that the ending will be bitter sweet.

[@viktor.m.]

I laugh at all these "GoT became feminist." GRRM stated it many times that he likes strong female leads, and here we are, just like GRRM would have liked it

[@paulozhan]

That scene with Brienne, that's when I think most people started seeing him with different eyes. I've always thought of him as a good guy, shame he gets manipulated by his sister so easily. Every single mistake he's done in his life was for her. Most notably: 1) He entered the kingsguard for her, forsaking his claim on the lordship of Casterly Rock 2) He tried to kill Bran But there is good in him, and he'll come around before it's too late. Thank you Nikolaj for delivering the single most complex character in the show so beautifully.

[@paulozhan]

The one thing that defines Jaime over everything else is love for his family. He went to great lengths to be of use to his sister, and he went to great lengths to protect his brother, in both cases jeopardizing his position. All because he loved them dearly. He is handsome, he is skilled, and he is filthy rich. He learned to fight with the best warriors who ever lived. He could have had half of the ladies in the kingdoms, but he is probably the only monogamic major character in the show. He could have watched thousands burn, but he chose to taint his own honor forever by killing his king. He could have betrayed Cat, could have abandoned Brienne, could have done nothing to free Tyrion, both when he got taken by Cat and when he was arrested by Tywin. He serves, and he is tragic in his service. Just like Jon says, Jaime has all the makings of a King. If Westeros had a Batman, it would be Ser Jaime.

[@poisonedcrow9311]

"I've always thought of him as a good guy" same, when I saw him push a ten year old child to what he thought was his death in that first episode all that I could think of was how much I admired him and his morals.

[@paulozhan]

all characters are ambiguous, the same way real life people are. no one is all good, safe for Podrick. but I'd like to remind you that he was conflicted, and he was only convinced to push him off when his sister repeated "he saw us"

[@poisonedcrow9311]

That's a reason for pushing not a justification.

[@JohnDoe-vh1zf]

[@EternalAzhrei]

SO many people saying Jaime is still a monster for what he did in Episode 1, so many others saying Daenerys is a mad-queen who just hasn't been crowned yet. Why can't anybody understand the realistic nature of the show and the books and get that these people are all complicated, with multiple facets, fears, and dreams. Jaime, a man judged and tormented by his own actions and their consequences was faced with a choice when Brann appeared in that window. His world could come crashing down and he could die for treason, or this child could die instead. His decision was wrong, UTTERLY, but it was a human one, an understandable one. And now, with Dany, that side of him that always wanted to serve truth and justice can see an outlet, and wants to protect the realms and his family, his people, from this new threat. And she, she just wants to overthrow the unjust who exiled her and tried to murder her, to rule the realm in peace like she tried to do in Meereen. That's the point in GRR Martin's work. To show humans, not fantasy tropes. Complex and complicated, faced with difficult decisions and with real reactions.

I completely forgot just how much he's been traumatised by fire and a Targaeryen. That attack for him must've given him some severe PTSD. That probably explains why he charged at a fucking dragon with a god damned lance. I completely forgot just how much this episode must've affected Jaime. He basically relived his worst nightmare. And I still don't understand why Jaime's constantly gotten shit for stabbing the Mad King in the back when that action fucking saved the kingdom. Why was he called a traitor and treated like shit *when he saved the entire seven kingdoms*???

[@ErwinSchrodinger64]

Incredible video. I'm no GOT's expert, but Jaime's life is an illogical consequence of the direct laws and customs that plague those that attempt to follow an honorable path. He was part of the king's guard. He made the pact that he would protect the king no matter what. However, in the end, The Mad King's action were too much for Jaime to justify his allegiance towards him. Thus, in the end, he killed The Mad King. Even thou he was right in doing so, because of his oath as king's guard, he broke it, society then looked at him as a traitor who killed the greatest position of the kingdom: the king himself. That's why he's ridiculed. It's been his burden alone. He realizes this, and every thing he ever pledge to, everyone he's ever loved for love's sake has turned on him (except for Tyrion, his brother). Overall, Jamie is finally coming to the realization that the only moral compass he should follow isn't necessarily societies but his own. Mind you, Jamie isn't always "good", mostly due to his royal upbringing but as time as progresses, being a soldier, he realized the deep truth of how the game is played. Overall, that's the catalyst that has caused to change for his own betterment. He's sacrificed so much. If I'm wrong about this conclusion, by all means, someone correct me. Like I said, I'm not a GOT expert so any corrections or information would be appreciated.

Jaime is said to be one of the most morally grey characters of the show, and a lot of people can relate to him if you minus incest and replace it with a loved one, If Bran said something, that means Jaime, Cersei and their kids face execution- and somebody like Robert who is known to have an ill-temper would certainly do it. Jaime did it because of that. Jaime identified with his sword hand, explaining that his sword hand is pretty much what made him a person. When he lost that hand, he ended up becoming more open minded.

[@iamalec101]

That was not his rationale when pushing Bran, he was not at all remorseful - "the things I do for love". And that does not at all atone for killings Ned's men.

[@H3Vtux]

It was his reasoning, his POV chapters have him thinking about it in ASOIF. Jaime knows how politics work, sure covering his incest was a plus, but the reason he has always needed to cover it is because such knowledge would consume the continent in war. And yes that is why he attacked ned, ned even openly stated "he was taken under my command". Jaime

[@cocafristyhoi1645]

The episode with Ed Sheeran as the singing lannister soldier, really showed in my opinion that the lannister soldiers are just people too. Who rather want to be home with their families than dying fighting in a war. I didn't like seeing those lannister soldiers burn and suffer.

[@TheCsel]

If it makes you feel better, Ed's group were newer recruits sent out on patrol. The soldiers with Jaime were likely veteran soldiers that served under Tywin, the best of the best- who also had a reputation of burning and looting, showing no mercy.

[@snorcutter]

Now i know why i like Jaime better thenDany. Jaime knows he is a monster while Dany feels like she thinks she is above all.

[@Yonverpage]

snorcutter Yeah, Dany convinces herself that she is doing the right thing, she doesn't even properly listen to counsel. She's too reckless in my opinion.

[@TheTruthObserver]

@Yonver, But she DID listen to council. If some of the braindead sheep morons watching this show such as yourself, paid actual attention to the show while watching, you would understand. Jon Snow suggested she shouldn't attack the cities/castles because it would be to horrible, and that is EXACTLY what she is trying to avoid doing. And she did so in this case and attacked the Army in open field, listening to Jon and not going to the Red Keep. Pay attention fool. Any other evil bitch would have burned the cities down by now to take the entire 7 kingdoms with those Dragons.

[@evajohansson2914]

the thing that she considered burning kings landing to the crisp (like her mad father) just proves she is blood thirsty cunt. she has no right to rule over 7 kingdoms. those kingdoms deserve independance, not some murdering conqueror who burns and crucify people alive (no.. not just soldiers, she burner alive nobles..), she also threatened to kill varys, she is threatning to kill soldiers who surrendered (as in trailer for 5th episode) etd., she is pure evil

[@epicsandwich7194]

Peter Bergestein except she wasn't just doing those things on a random whim. As for the execution of the slave masters if you remember they literally did that same thing to over 100 children...not regular people, KIDS. Dany just returned the favor. Any other executions were to stop the slavers from funding those cowards who kept stabbing her soldiers from behind when they were on patrol without having the courage to fight an actual war.

[@epicsandwich7194]

Her conquest was not born of a desire to kill, but stuff happened. She wanted to free the people of Slavers bay from their oppression. When one of her dragons killed a child she locked them up. I guarantee you Cersei would not have done that. I will grant that the incident with the khals was unnecessary. However she is still the complete opposite of Cersei who cares nothing for her subjects, which she clearly stated, and demonstrated when she killed and injured hundreds of innocent civilians in and around the sept. She could have sent the soldiers to the priests hideout, because she had been there previously, and taken care of them without placing an entire section of the city in danger.

[@SubliminaIMessages]

Controversial opinion time: Jaime is by far the most complex character in the series. Never mind they fucked it up.

[@alangagnon5203]

Agreed. I would say him and Theon are the two characters that have changed the most over the course of the series. Arya changed as well but hers feels more like she just changed into what she going to be all along.

"By what right does the wolf judge the lion?' - Jaime Lannister Goes to show it's not all black and white. Even the honourable Ned Stark made the mistake of not hearing Jaime's side of the story; that's what led to the animosity between the two. Wow, really puts things into perspective.

[@Ludvik789]

To Ned Stark, Jaime had just broken his most sacred oath and got a free out-of-jail card. Now, Ned would not seek out Jaime, but Jaime constantly sought him out for a verbal fight or a real one even so how could Ned Stark hear his story? when did Jaime offer such a tale to him? Not when he was talking about how Ned's father and brother screamed as they were burned alive. I'm surprised Ned Stark didn't hate him more.

[@ruvend2581]

I love the contrast in honour between the two: Jaime being the oathbreaker and ned the most honourable one but its not that simple: They were both in a fight were the opponent was stabbed in the back and ned killed arthur dayne later while jaime didnt kill ned

When he pushed bran out of the window he did it to protect himself and the woman he loved as well as his children. When he attacked Ned he did it to protect his brother. Everything he does is a complicated moral dilemma where he has made the honorable choice more often than not. He is among my favorite characters in the show.
