"The Dragon and the Wolf" 7x07 Game of Thrones Season Finale Review

"The Dragon and the Wolf" 7x07 Game of Thrones Season Finale Review
Sam and Bran find out that Jon is actually Aegon 6.5(?). Sansa, Arya, and Bran figure out how to take down Littlefinger... off screen. Viserion and Sindragosa from WoW have adorable ice dragon babies. Jon wins Daenerys' heart by being dumb as hell. Theon and Jon have a heart to heart (but remember, him not having balls is VERY important to his character progression, so we gotta bring that up). Jaime puts everything Cersei owns in a box to the left.
I give it four Aegons out of ten.

It would have been so funny if Lyanna whispered to Ned "He's name is Maegor Targaryen"

[@DanzieReviews]

Hey guys! Sorry this video was so late! A mix of things came up this September, including mental health issues, birthday celebrations, and my niece being born (blue eyes and black hair - she's a Baratheon)!

[@JasperLane]

Late? You said friday, and it's Friday :)

[@jaybirdjetwings7516]

mental health issues? I hope your alright

[@noahorakwue2653]

Hey Danzie, I don't know if you reviewed the first season of the show, but I think that the way they handled Littlefinger was a call back to how he betrayed Ned because after Robert's death Littlefinger pretend to side with Ned against Cersei and instead turned the city watch against him just like here we never saw scene that explained when or how it happened it was done to surprise us.I think it didn't work for you and other people because we've been watching the show for so long its harder for anything to shock us. But as far as following there own example this was right on the money especially with the scenes in earlier episode showing how Bran was aware of events from Littlefinger's past like "Chaos is a Ladder"

[@LoganBluth]

This is late, but the whole Sansa-Arya conflict storyline was even worse than you imagined. Apparently they had filmed a scene in which Bran tells Sansa what Littlefinger had been doing, which would have aired in the Season 6 Finale, but it got cut. Here's a direct quote from Bran's actor, Isaac Hempstead Wright, which was published in Variety immediately after the Finale aired: "We actually did a scene that clearly got cut, a short scene with Sansa where she knocks on Bran’s door and says, “I need your help,” or something along those lines. So basically, as far as I know, the story was that it suddenly occurred to Sansa that she had a huge CCTV department at her discretion and it might be a good idea to check with him first before she guts her own sister. So she goes to Bran, and Bran tells her everything she needs to know, and she’s like, “Oh, s-.”" So, the actual intended storyline was EVEN DUMBER than we thought - Sansa and Arya really WERE completely tricked by Littlefinger, and were on verge of killing each other right up until the Finale, when Sansa finally realised that Deus Ex Bran knows EVERYTHING and could clue her in to what's going on! God, I really learned to HATE this show in the latter half of its run! 😝 Haha

8:22 "Just yelling the number 34 doesn't mean anything". Yes, because the real answer is 42. Great review!

[@thekiddo115]

Yes I would love to see a character spotlight on Theon

[@nirmalpatel8976]

Happy birthday danzy I was waiting for your video thnx for making this video

[@jankajackiewicz9873]

Please, please make a video analysis about Theon!

[@jacksaunders8923]

Id love to hear your analysis on Theon!

[@thomaslevy7249]

I personaly thought that every scene in King's Landing was great, except for the Sendor - Gregor reunion. It felt like the producers shouting at us: "Hey remember when you wanted Cleganebowl? We are doing Cleganebowl! Get it? GET IT?!?!?!? GET HYPED!!!!!111". I'm personally hyped to see the golden company's war elephants, because I love elephants. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And after watching your review, I changed my mind about the Jaime scene, it's stupid how only now Jaime decided to leave Cersei (I also think that Lena Headey deserves a reward for her acting this season). Winterfail this season was stupid and useless.

[@LoganBluth]

Sorry about the elephants, mate. 😬

[@thomaslevy7249]

@@LoganBluth Thanks bro, I love elephants and when they didn't come, I was even saltier than Cercei was. I wanted to see them trampling over unsullied like the Oliphants from LotR RotK 😢

[@LoganBluth]

@@thomaslevy7249 I completely agree! Don't promise War Elephants if you can't deliver War Elephants, D&D! 😝

[@huskizzle]

Been waiting for this one! I pretty much agree with all the points you made. With Jaime being my favorite character in the books, I've been incredibly disappointed with him staying with Cersei this long and irritated every time they showed him in bed with Cersei. I think this opens up some opportunity for his character to be redeemed in the show...but then again we only have 6 episodes left. The whole Dragon Pit scene was inconsequential besides the Clegane Bowl tease once Cersei revealed the whole thing was bullshit anyways. At least Theon finally got some a scene this season even if they almost squandered again with yet another dick joke.

[@Hekateras]

I think in that episode I liked the scene where snow begins falling in King's Landing as Jaime leaves... and that's about it.

[@jbthinker1423]

Book Rhaegar>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>show Rhaegar.

[@maxmustermann9058]

Happy Birthday ! Honestly I think DnD alignments work very rarely anyways, even when it is not about a specific character the discussion what any alignment actually means has probably lead to more nerdy arguments than the show ever did. I am always open to character analysis and Theon is definitively one of the more complex ones to tackle.

[@danielleb5016]

Another great video! Loved the stuff about Theon. I would definitely like to see more.

[@dylanjohnson2733]

Great review Danzie! I'd love to see a video of you talking about your favourite video games.(Hoping for Bloodborne lol)

[@nagyp5463]

D&D are done with the show - you nailed it. They're money people first and foremost. While we are rooting for season 8, they're already knee deep into their next project. And I cannot blame them for that. GRRM screwed them over, not releasing the sequels in time, so they had to take matters into their hands. They got the basic plotline as a helper, and occasional counseling, but they're not writers, its not their job to round the story out instead of Martin. I don't exempt them from being often lazy, and agree with you that sometimes they don't even do the bare minimum, but one must see the main reason behind it.

[@dylanbell268]

I think the Aegon thing was a decision made by Liana after the sack of Kings Landing

[@girlnettles]

10:10 and onwards is comedy GOLD!!! ahahaha! "budget of $100" ahaha

[@asinineintelligence6194]

Also that thing about Theon getting kneed in the crotch was him finding a strength in that weakness, and in that thing he's mocked for. It's a way to represent the Ramsay arc making him stronger.

[@JasperLane]

When Deebo breaks down the door As a man who does have his dick I will admit that I know nothing about getting kneed in a dickless hole, but I'm pretty sure it would still hurt like a bitch.

[@YurManDavid]

Jasper Lane exactly!

[@MissLyrata]

You know, I had been looking forward to seeing a flashback of Rhaegar Targaryen for a very, very long time. I was hoping for a conversation or two between him and Lyanna...maybe some brief scenes showing the tourney at Harrenhal. They could have made that a real set piece and a focal point for the season. If they'd wanted to, that is. Instead, what we got was...well, to me it was completely underwhelming. The only positive I take away is that maybe it's better to just wait for the book, where hopefully we will get some more satisfying answers about that tourney and exactly what happened. Still, it would have been nice to see it...

[@timmorris7338]

where did you get the image of jaime's character progression on a graph? Or did you make it? Could you send it to me, know a lot of people who'd appreciate it :P

[@aaronluke1993]

Happy birthday!

[@MrKrazeeNinja]

I disagree on the Rhaegar/lyanna flashback. That line 'roberts rebellion was built on a lie' was pointing to Robert rebelling was based off his girl getting stolen, presumably against her will. But that was a lie. Its sort of like how in WW1 how arch Duke Franz Ferdinand got assassinated and that tipped off WW1; yes, other things contributed to starting the war, not just that event, but that single event is what tipped over the war. Also viserys was shown to emulate his brother because he looked up to him, hence its understandable he has the same hair (however, I think that was a poor move on d&d since alot of people actually thought it was viserys). I agree that Aegon should not have been the name. Even if they're trying to make it less confusing for casual viewers introducing all these targ names, Aemon would've been better.

[@s.w.d4010]

Joel Smith That wasn’t why the rebellion started. Robert and House Baratheon wasn’t even the first House to rise against The Mad King. After the Mad King killed Ned’s father and brother he demanded that Robert and Ned be handed over to him (To be killed also) Jon Arryn refused because Ned and Robert were like sons to him and House Arryn was the first to rebel and were joined by the Starks, Baratheons, and Tullys. It’s only called Robert’s Rebellion because he killed Rhaegar which pretty much ended the war. I’m not even getting this from the books it’s made clear in the show that Ned and Jon Arryn refused the throne thus making Robert King.

[@derTangram]

please do a theon analysis, he is one of my favorite characters to read in the a clash of kings :D

[@infuriatedsloth3335]

Isn’t Viserys supposed to look similar to Rhaegar? I was given that explanation as to why they looked so similar

[@s.w.d4010]

infuriatedsloth No if you read the books, in the House of the undying Daenerys thinks she is seeing Viserys but when she takes a second look she sees that the man has a softer face and longer hair. She recognizes that it’s not Viserys. But this show is trash and didn’t care about the details.

[@jeffbenefiel180]

Hopefully your happy birthday made up for the inevitable treachery of D&D, you knew they were going to disappoint, you just didn't know how much. Personally I could have done without the entire zombie dragon story, it's like the way we were at 11 years old with comic book characters, but hey, it sells. I'm with you on Aegon, it felt lazy (like Martin's writing lately [drumroll/symbal crash])

[@menschman1464]

Happy 3rd birthday

[@DanzieReviews]

Thanks, man. I've come a long way.

[@JasperLane]

The way I look at it. Season 1-4 were amazing. Not perfect, no show (or even book) is perfect. Season 5-7 were good, but when you compare an average show to GOT it will always look terrible, I think that's why so many people are disappointed in these last three seasons.

[@jasonsizzle3732]

Jasper Lane No people just don't like the awful writing.

[@JasperLane]

Jason Sizzle Other shows have more or less gotten away with bad writing. Doctor who and Supernatural are two very popular shows that are loved by many but also suffer from bad writing with there new seasons, yet you don't see nearly as much anger in their fans compared to GOT fans. Doctor who and Supernatural were good but they were never amazing. With those shows the dip was not nearly as bad. Compare to GOT where the dip put it on the same level as other shows it's way more noticeable when you compare it to the books and the first four seasons.

[@asinineintelligence6194]

Also that amazing scene with Peter Dinklage and Lena Heady, WOAH

[@merynthehero8377]

Oh I'm so looking forward to your analysis about Theon!

[@deivyjose3470]

I love your videos

[@Akeldama9]

This is the first of your season 7 reviews that I *mostly* agree with! lol. Only thing I didn't agree with was the Roberts Rebellion part, I took the Roberts Rebellion was built on a lie part as that Robert deep down realized what actually happened & it just fueled his hated of the Targs even more. Rhaegar still did really take the woman he loved. They did simplify it down, however & didn't mention what Aerys did to the Starks again. The fact that they did mention what Aerys did to Brandon & Rickard earlier in the season is what saves it for me. They did acknowledge it, but simplified it down for maximum effect, I guess.

[@TheXander360]

Yegret didn't have a kid so no oath broken

[@asinineintelligence6194]

I'd like that character analysis on Theon

[@jaybirdjetwings7516]

Hey danzie! You were absolutely right about this the winterfil scenes were awful, bran obviously forgot some critical historical details and the character development failed. If they writers just want to get the show over with, their should be new writers

[@ohillYT]

Your season finales are always late lol

[@thelastgreyjoy8555]

And Wouldn't Sansa get heat for lying to the Vale Lords cough Yohn Royce cough and how is a lordling being missing for years now back but extremely mentally damaged sound creditable or arya this show is just a dumpster fire.
