Is the Mountain alive or dead? Did Qyburn use magic? Can the Night King take control of him?

The way the Mountain looked so indestructable in the final fight with his brother, they should have him up at Winterfell fighting the white walkers all by himself

[@cthulucalamari2448]

I know Sandor hated Gregor, but I always thought Gregor looked at his brother with indifference. He just didn't seem to care about Sandor one way or another, no love or hate, pretty much how the mountain viewed everyone and everything else, even in the books. He was angry at him a few times, but as long as you left him alone and he wasn't instructed to harm you, you'd be fine.

[@bennycostello2472]

i thought it was funny when qyburn sees a wight and is all amazed, it's like dog, you made an undead guy...

[@RadioJosiah]

That wight is some next-level shit as far as Qyburn is concerned. Fully rotted yet inexplicably alive? Cut off the hand and the hand keeps moving??? In all his years of toil, he's never seen anything like that. That's the kind of reanimation he could only dream about. Like a painter laying eyes on a Picasso. Like the first time Clapton heard Hendrix. Qyburn appreciated it the most, because he had the fullest understanding of its impossibility. And such glee, thinking maybe he could learn to harness it. If anybody in the realm could weaponize White Walker magic, it's him. I'm scared now.

The Mountain zombie slamming dude's head into the wall so casually... I just love that scene so much.

[@CarbonDoggie]

Rather than something like a zombie, I think he's pretty much been made into the equivalent of a flesh Golem. That can carry out rudimentary commands, differentiate between targets, attack, defend, etc. It seems that the "process" of turning him into such a thing, removed his personality, sense of pain and likely many other things. I think Qyburn used, not just sorcery, but a blend of that and alchemy to complete this process.

[@guyverjay1289]

Yeah but it didnt strip him of his personality. He was quite aware who the hound was and defied his duty and orders to protect his queen because he wanted to fight him

[@cid2852]

@@guyverjay1289 I had a theory that Gregor was always aware of himself and who everyone was and such, and he probably didn't even like Qyburn. But maybe Qyburn had to periodically do something that only he knew how to do in order to keep him going (as an insurance policy because if anything happens to Qyburn, Gregor dies too). So Gregor just had to tolerate him and do what he said. But at the end, Gregor knew it didn't really matter since everyone was dead anyway. So he decided to dumpster Qyburn and get that last fight with his brother out of the way first.

[@Tempusverum]

As I see it, since The Mountain's blood was poisoned by the manticore venom, Qyburn emptied all of his tainted blood and replaced it with a medieval equivalent to Oxycyte synthetic blood, hence his white eyes and skin.

[@SlitWristMisfit_]

He has all black and red eyes.

[@aaronhumphrey2009]

Agreed. Quiburn may have known a bit of Necromancy. There was magic in the maniticore poison to extend the Mountains life - and thus his suffering . Quiburn drained that poison and amplified the life- extending magic - and Viola, a Zombie was made..

At this point, I think we are talking stone cold necromancy here. In the books at least. In the show..The princes knowledge of poison was near peerless. I think Qyburn drained his poisoned blood, reversed the effects of the poison with some type of crude battery electric, and pumped it back in. The back and forth between altered poisons in his cells has created a type of stasis effect. The Mountain is in a living limbo...

So your videos really give me great insight into deep concepts in the books that would take me dozens of hours to get to yet you can condense hours of reading down to 10 minute or so videos. It's really helpful and helped me understand the real differences between the books and the show. So keep it up man, I'll be a loyal watcher as the long wait till April continues. Also, I do hope to get to the books someday, but I need to wait till I'm done with law school in a year and a half.

I'll still have the final book to wait on either way though so it's a mostly fruitless effort.

In my opinion, Qyburn has created a wight, as I am sure somewhere deep in the citadel there are scrolls and books detailing the ancient magical practices which I'm sure include how to bring the dead back to life. Noting that there is a whole study regarding magic, that is probably sparsely studied giving him plenty of time and opportunity to study whatever he found interesting, uninterrupted. And I do think at some point the Night King will take control of the mountain and wreak havoc from within kings landing. Currently the mountain is loyal to Qyburn, being that he basically created him, not Cersi. And seeing that Qyburn is very interested in magic and the like, it's in his best interests for the magically imbued characters to survive, so he can continue his research. 🤷‍♂️

@Paul E. Agreed, Qyburn is definitely interesting, and cannot be judged as either good or bad, they are relative concepts, and all he really cares about is pursuing his experiments freely. Tho it kinda was bleh when he "invented the giant crossbow" when he offered a way to retaliate against the dragons.... and I could have sworn there was poison involved and I was double certain Drogon got poisoned when Bronn shot him with that greatarrow. But nah. No magical anti-dragon poison. Just a military machine, which, all the military people never thought of creating.

Obviously it won't be included in the show because of the time limit. What are your thoughts? If your already planning on covering this in your upcoming video I'll just wait and watch it. :)

awesome, look forward to chatting with ya, Ser!

I think he used a Tyrian lookalike head and put it on the mountains body. Dorne requested to have the mountains head sent to them in the books. Also could be a white walkers head. Maybe the one that attacked Lord Commander Mormont in the first book? I have other theories but I think it's a Tyrian lookalike

[@daveyboy5270]

Nice job. This is the re-upload right? I commented on it before. Can't remember what I said before, but I'm sure it was insightful and profound!

But then I made it unlisted so I jad access and meant to incident them in this one. But I complatelet forgot (I'be been deeply distracted by some jaome videos I've been researching for over a week...so my head wasn't really all there for this reuoload) If u were oNE of the great quotes I meant to share on the reuoload, my bad!

[@daveyboy5270]

I bet you're right and your regulars watched it again. That's what I did. I'm glad you're getting a lot of views. I noticed your video about the Night King as over 3 million! That's insane! Way to go!

[@samking6583]

Through alchemy, Qyburn has perhaps turned the Mountain into a golem, much like Frankensteins monster

[@patriksvensson2360]

I've been curious as to the links of raising the dead between Qyburn and the Nightking. Assume they both use black magic, albeit Qyburn combines this with alchemy of some sort. (If anyone of you is familiar with Magic: The Gathering, you could view it as a difference in the same way that Liliana and Geralf both raise dead by with different means and with similar but not the same results.) I'm curious as to the state of the raised dead differ. It appears to me, from watching the show, that the wights of the Nightking are mindless killing machines, the white walkers are sentient undead who controll the wights, and the Nightking commands rather than controls the white walkers. If we assume that Ser Robert Strong (henceforth SRS) is also a sentient undead, then perhaps the Nightking cannot control him? I've also been pondering two outcomes in story progression concerning Qyburn. One is that, after the white walkers breach the Wall, Qyburn convinces Cercei that they may need an army, strong and fearless, to combat the white walkers and be given the means to create more "soldiers" like SRS by kidnapping, killing and raising denizens of King's Landing - something that might also prove insanely useful in the upcoming war with Daenarys and Jon. Another outcome is that Qyburn still controls SRS and might seize the opportunity to claim the power by killing Cercei now that Jaime is gone. A rather loose thought I base solely on the stereotype of necromancers being true to themselves alone, for whatever reason they may have.

[@bridge4]

awesome post. a lot of insightful and fun stuff here. thanks for sharing!

[@KammaQwazi]

I still love how aroused Qyburn was when he saw the wight. Do not underestimate that shady clever SOB, he may end up on the throne in the end.

Qyburn always gave me Doctor Smith from Lost in Space vibes. Especially when he was talking to the Little Birds.

[@thisguy8106]

I think Rob Starks head is on the mountain. If not.. Tywin's head and soul is trapped inside him to watch as his legacy and the Lannister's burn to the ground.

[@ramyfarid977]

Isn't really easy to kill a white walker giant? If you only need one dragon-glass dagger or tipped spear to kill a white walker, a dead giant should be defeated way easier than a living giant. (R.I.P Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun)

The way The Mountain disposed of Qyburn was so satisfying, he just got crushed like a bitch thinking he would command him haha.

[@NerzJansch2]

Well in the books it´s obviously mentioned that he was poisoned by the same insects poison, as daenerys almost was when she met this greybird guy, the former kingsguard commander (pardon me i forgot his name). And it´s also stated that the red viper was skilled in the poison craft and had traveled to asshai (if i recall it right) where he learned to weave magic into it. To prolonge suffering, increase pain, you get the point. And quyburn is being told as been thrown out the citadel for opening living bodies as he wanted to understand the nature of death, as opossed to the other maesters who only engulfed themselves with studying the nature of life. Also he seems to had some darker interest, concerning magic, which was also a great part of the reason he was given the boot. i Can´t remember the exact line in the books, but there is some mention of him feeling pulled torwards magic. He mentions something about understanding life and death better than any taught maester, so that might have been a hint to necromancy. Maybe he used something similiar to what the maegie who killed/zombified Khal Drogo did

Creepy as he was, I'd have loved to pick Qyburn's brain. He knew things most maesters wouldn't dare learn.

[@arhonestly1964]

The point I like most is the comparison of the mountain and his dark healer with Beric and his light healer. Adds to my theory that Qyburn is a priest of the great other.

why did ramsey's boys follow him? iono!?!? people latch on and stick around i guess!

[@kimsmells1]

I wonder what the mountain smells like now

[@kittylazurus223]

To make a correction to "Magic has always been around". It is revealed when Danny is at the House of the Undying that magic was indeed gone from the world. The Warlocks did not have any powers until her Dragons were born, her bringing dragons back into the world also brought magic back into the world. And it's why the Warlocks wanted the Dragons.

[@bridge4]

melisandre is >300 years old and there have always been skin-changers, greenseers, etc... pyromancers could create wildfire in the paste, but it took them longer. so i think magic was around, but much weaker

[@snakepliskin23]

This is one of the better themed GOT bits I’ve seen. I did wonder how the mountain came back as a freak

[@bazookabullet101]

imagine a scene where the night king kills the mountain but he can't reanimate him due to him already having been revived as a zombie. Or maybe a scene where he doesn't kill him, but turns him then and there into his own zombie just by touching him since he's already dead

[@slypperyfox]

The Mountain basically became the GOT version of Darth Vader. Face mostly hidden by helmet welded shut over mouth but underlying face discolored and disfigured. Hell, Qyburn even looks a little like the Sith Emperor.

[@bridge4]

Lol

Would be a weird twist if Qyburn sends Robert Strong to help John Snow fight the Wights and the White Walkers. All those undead pieces after the battle, would give Qyburn all the resources he needs to finish his research.

[@urboi4125]

I have a theory for the outcome of The Mountain and The Hound. My theory is that Sandor and Gregor fight in their long awaited showdown. But I have an idea that Sandor uses fire to kill his brother. It would be ironic since Gregor burned Sandor when they were kids. So Sandor getting revenge the same way would make sense. Furthermore, when the Sparrows fought FrankenMountain, they couldn't penetrate his armour which lead to that one guy getting his head ripped off. So if no sword or blade can hurt The Mountain, fire seems like the only option to kill him. Burning him to death is the only way. Maybe both brothers die in this battle but the victor sustains fatal wounds and also dies in the fire. This theory ties in with the theory of Gregor becoming a white walker or wight. I'm not sure how he will become one but if he does then he will only have 3 weaknesses: Valerian steel, dragon glass and fire. The Hound doesn't have a Valerian sword or a dragon glass weapon. And even if he does get one I doubt it will penetrate his armour ( as I mentioned before ). So perhaps The Hound uses fire as his last resort weapon. It's been 7 seasons so I think it's about time Sandor overcame his fear of fire. It was his fault that Thoros died saving him from a burning polar bear. Another point, it would be symbolic if Sandor used a flaming sword to kill Gregor. Thoros was the man that saved him so Sandor using his trademark flaming sword like he did would be a nice reference. And doesn't this also tie into the azor ahai theory? If Sandor does use a flaming sword like it said in the prophecy then it makes him the hero. Or maybe he's not but he will definitely become important. I remember certain characters such as Beric and Brother Ray (the cult leader who saved him after his fight with Brienne) asking him why he was still alive. And both characters said that he was alive for a reason and his fate was chosen by a greater cause (the Gods). It makes sense. Sandor won his trial by combat against Beric so perhaps he won because the Gods wanted him to. Also I doubt they kept him alive just so he can go North of the Wall to catch a wight. He wasn't even necessary on that journey since all he did was make things worse (by throwing stones on the frozen water).
