August 25, 2022 -- This video has been trimmed/re-cut to avoid being blocked. So SOME of the cuts are not smooth nor properly edited due to KZbin's terrible Editor and feature.
The Long Night is one of the greatest episodes I've seen in any TV show. The entire sequence, starting when that piano hits... from Sansa taking out a dragonglass and Tyrion looking so helpless then kisses her hand... to the Night King arriving in the godswood and staring at Bran...
And in those moments, I have forgotten about Arya, thinking her scene was done... so when she appeared out of nowhere (I mean, Jaqen, the faceless man, appeared out of nowhere like that in "Valar Morghulis"), I was in awe with anticipation, every emotion I have ever felt was there, ranging from "Yesss" to "Oh nooo," until she finally stabbed him and the character shattered. I was beyond relieved, just like how Arya felt at the end. It was one of the most breathtaking moments I've ever seen. You have no idea how intense and then bleak, and then hopeful again watching that whole episode. It was simply perfect.

Edit/Update: I have a new theory why the Night King never saw Arya at all from the future-if he can indeed see bits and fragments, at least, like Bran-solely because she was meant to go to King's Landing. But changed course when Hot Pie told her about Jon Snow.
Remember when Bran reunited with Arya at the godswood (S7E4), he mentioned, "I thought you'd go to King's Landing." The new Three-Eyed Raven was totally convinced she was heading there, but now that she's in Winterfell, this must be how he "manipulated" the events and "controlled" the future outcome without the Night King ever knowing she would be the one to kill him.
Who do you think is the Lord of Light? I once had an idea that it might be the Night King, but thinking about it now and after re-watching all the episodes for the umpteenth time, I am a bit certain it was... let's see shall we.
I always thought the gods in Westeros/Essos don't exist. Only magic from the Children of the Forest and impeccable bloodlines (like the Starks, Faceless Men, etc.) that were descendants from the Children and the First Men/Andals. The people who possessed warg, necromancy, and the sight have abilities that can enter and see from the eyes of the animals (humans if it's very powerful like Bran) and weirwood tree, and also can witness the past, present, and fragments of the future. The only candidates were the Night King and the Three-Eyed Raven. Therefore, I conclude, with little certainty, that the Lord of Light (which the worshipers thought he is real and the one true god, but not really) is Bran the Broken/Three-Eyed Raven.
But to quote Beric Dondarrion, I don't think it's our purpose to understand, maybe that's enough. #gameofthrones #lordoflight #arya #nightking

People will never get over the ending. Issue is it's not an alternate ending, it Is the ending. It was poorly done for sure but it is how the story end and how the books would end. If you thought it would be a happy ending with Jon saving the day with Daenerys being queen and them living a happy life and having many children you've not been paying attention. It's not a fairy tale it's dark fantasy.

Tbh the ending tried way to happy to be ignoring all the dothraki who will now kill and rape now their queen is dead, other kingdoms demanding independence after north, kingdom's debt etc

And this is why we will never get over the ending, because people like you think we wanted a disney ending. Bro I wanted EVERYONE to die (if they deserved because of their choices, like I dunno... how about EVERYONE in winterfell). The ending where the Night King wins because of people can't let their differences aside and work together would have never been posible so taking that ending out, the very next would be Jon fighting NK (and probably loosing) then maybe Arya trying (and probably loosing) and then the main freaking character of the books who has the very first chapter of the story (apart from the prologue) actually doing something. The thing with the ending is that NOTHING make sense, and people defending Arya killing the NK are people who (like the screenwriters) kind of forgot about Arya main story and driving force (her list of people to kill), also kind of forgot the foreshadowing of Jon Snow with the NK, also forgot about Bran being the oposite of the NK. There's so many wrong things about the ending that if you say it fits the story that means you never liked the main story. You can like Arya Killing the NK (it was badass for sure) but that action robbed Jon Snow's arc (who is probably the highest paid extra of the show who once was the protagonist of the story).

An assassin who screams as they attempt their assassination, takes the brunt of her lunging momentum to the throat, somehow survives a superstrength choke, somehow survives burning cold to the neck. Lastly, a near-god who can snipe a flying dragon with a spear can't react to a falling dagger despite all he has to do is knee her or just push her away... Impeccable writing.. istg if she stuck the dagger to the end of an arrow and just sniped her it would've been x10 better, and it would still suck....

Arya killing the night king is a narrative dead end because it literally does nothing for her story. It's poorly set up, doesn't really develop her character in anyway or even truly resolve anything, and also Does she even talk about it afterwards? (As in actually having a discussion and talking about her moving forward in spite of the fear she felt or something?) Stopping the NK didn't even take truly facing your death in the end, just becoming an unstoppable magic chosen one ninja assassin out of nowhere.

@Dorvita 5 ай бұрын

I have to dissagree with most of these comments, even though I do respect them. I honestly thought Arya killing the NK was bloody brilliant. Okay yeah we ALL expected Jon to do it and perhaps Jamie wouldve been a great choice too but the fact it was Arya I feel, just my personal opinion, was epic. It made all her training and suffering worth while. Not everything in season 8 was utter balls and this choice, for me anyway, was superb. Thanks for this brilliant video. Its good to finally see another who appreciates this decision. Love and respect to you all..... Blessings xoxox 🌹

Arya killing the NK makes sense to certain extent. But it doesn't do justice to all the concept of "Song of Ice and FIre", a prophecy passed on from Aegon the first. If he could forsee the rise of a dark power even thousands of years ago, surely his visions meant something. It doesn't explain why Jon was resurrected. The writters didn't give enough importance to the gods and prophecies.

what was the point of all the drama between Brandon John and the night King? Just to have aria swoop in and destroy years of buildup with a slight of hand knife move. The writers don’t have to cater to the audience, but they should consider how this type of decision would affect the Storyline

@@rileywalsh9567 I would never say Jon could’ve beaten the Night King 1v1. However, he could get lucky almost like the assassin girl but would’ve had a better advantage and would’ve been a much more realistic scenario. The big bad guy is beating everyone up then engages in a sword fight with Jon. At this point and time Daenarys has the Red Dragon blow away the face-tree (where the Night King was stabbed to the tree and created) then the Night King either dies from that or severely weakened and Jon has Vaelaryin Steel and kills him. It would’ve made a better story and more believable than him being snuck up on and stabbed by a little assassin girl who is a secondary character. I mean sure it’s not as generic but that’s lame the way he died

@sevanaiaseeto9456 2 ай бұрын

I think Arya is perfect becuase she can sneak past the undead horde to assassinate the Night King, and has the training to be quick with her hands. Also, it's poetic that the dagger that was meant to kill the incumbent Three-Eyed Raven killed the Night King instead, who was gunning for Bran to sniff out the memory of the world. I think Jon Snow was the perfect person to kill Daenerys once she's become mad like her father. No one else could get close to Daenerys without Drogon attacking before or after the assassination.
