Fixing the Battle of Winterfell
มุมมอง 11K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Utterly nonsensical battles is a problem that Game of Thrones as always had when not adapting a battle from the books. The show inevitably goes for shock and awe and loses all narrative or logical coherence. But the Battle of Winterfell is when this bad habit reaches its zenith.

Spoilers for both movies. Both Outlaw King and Braveheart I enjoyed intensely, but for very different reasons and in very different ways. Note that this is primarily a thematic and story breakdown of the differences between the two movies, not a historical one.

The Dresden Files is one of my favorite series, but in Changes Jim Butcher kinda of does this thing where he has the vampires in his series be mayan gods. It's... weird and kind of racist.

How George R.R. Martin Uses Magic in A Song of Ice and Fire
มุมมอง 4.4K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Magic in A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones is used fundamentally differently than in other fantasy series. It's treated as rare and strange and despite being less common than in other fantasy worlds, actually holds more power. Proper credit to All Leather Must Be Boiled: boiledleather.com/post/102637571223/the-world-of-ice-and-fire-thoughts-what-we-talk
I’m pretty sure I remember Jon said women and children will have to be trained to defend the north as well. Guess dumb and dumber kinda “Forgot” about it.😂
The creator of Twilight Zone is Rod SERLING..........NOT STERLING.
The Dothraki are light cavalry. They should do targeted strikes with flaming arrows and whatnot and then retreat and harass the enemy every step of the way. The direct charge makes no sense.
I was so frustrated and disappointed with how this whole story turned out around the White Walkers and the Night King. I remind that the very first minute of the series, first season, first episode, it was the White Walkers and not political discussions between noble families or whatever. I think that's where the series is completely broken. For me all the wars, stories etc... between the houses, the kingdoms were precisely to show the absurdity of people fighting among themselves over stupid things while the greatest threat arrived gently before the climax of last season, where we could have had a wonderful season where those who hate each other should have cooperated in despair, but instead we just had this big shit.
With such a questionable history, why is Bigby even given the position of Sheriff of Fabletown?
DEI ruins everything
You're right this should have been an entire season, and it should've been the endgame.
Your final solution is dumb, considering its shown him taking dragon fire without any problem.
Bro picks an extremely suspenseful short film, points to all the things nobody bats and eye to in the film, adds the most GENERIC and OVERUSED plot points and character angles ever, classifies it as "Masterpiece" Oh you didn't like the climax, oh it's just an action climax, WELLL DUUUUHHH, a 7foot pile of bodyparts with unknown powers wants to add you to it's collection, do you think a better climax would be the girl just stopping and goes like "Hmmmm... let's think about the going on objectification about my situation here" WHO HAS TIME FOR THAT BS. Here's an observation about you hmm?! Before you go out judging these masterful creations yess?! Hear hear, "Every movie, has two kinds of scores, 1.Critique score, 2.Audience score, now audience score is relevant everywhere, an audience score never betrays a movie's quality, the Critique score is extremely subjective, it's relevant to very few films, you my friend are a Critique, and the one thing that's common in every critique everrr is the AUDACITY to believe if a product doesn't fit their description then it's bad and they're right, it's disgusting, take your buisness elsewhere mate These movies and shows are meant for the public to "escape reality", they immerse us, take us with them, make their world real, makes us forget our own. If you keep looking for societal problems in these then you're not escaping, you're just left behind..
Problem with critiques is, they don't see the movie the way it's intended to be seen, instead they want to see the movie in the way they wish, irrespective of whether the movie wants to fit that mould
The thing is they had knowledge that the night king was coming to winterfel for months.... they could of build multiple fire trenches with the man power and time, even makeshift wooden barriers surrounding the whole castle stretching for hundreds of meters from the walls. They could of drenched the surrounding forrest in oil with pit falls ect.
Hope with season 2 they cut ties to the comics and turn it into its own thing
You cant see shit in this batle of darkness
imagine a scenario where Winterfell eventually falls when Jon or Danaerys fail to kill the Night King and or die. With the fall of Winterfell, it would be followed by the ultimate fall of the North. it would actually be here where the southern kingdoms realize now that the threat of the white walkers was real and that the North had truly been to something this whole time, with the Nights Watch and all. Thus we would probably see the mobilization of the entirety of Southern Westeros in order to try and halt the deads advance. maybe they are still Unable to hold back the advance of the Dead and the whole of Westeros is thrown into an Ice age, the Long Night. or maybe they either the dead centrale into the Westerlands, the Riverlands, and the Crownlands, and maybe even reach Dorne before they are turned back. maybe this leads to a back and forth between an eventual defeat or by sheer will they are pushed back into the North, and if not completely destroyed then pushed back across the wall. in the midst of the Northern campaign, when Winterfell is recapture, it could be possible that the entirety of the castle is near completely empty as ALL bodies may have been raised back up before known lords and warriors' bodies would disappear into Westeros in later campaigns. But is possible, the fotress, once a powerful castle with a seat of authority, now lay literally frozen in time buried in feet or even meters in snow, heavily damaged from the battle that saw the fall of Danaerys Targaryen, House Stark, Winterfell, and the identity of the North....
In many castle sieges the women are said to have showered debris/rocks on the besieging army if there were not enough men to garrison the entire walls.. Not cowering in the basement.
Good video, but you saying "calvary" the whole time ruined it
Its good that AI is getting better and better, because maybe in 5y time, we'll be able to fix this battle by ourselves :D Anyway, I think the battle is pretty much unfixable, because the issue alone isn't just the tactic, but the battle and the outcome itself... something that was a threat for 8 seasons was ended in one episode. Thats not good.
You know what could easily fix this battle and most of Season 8?? Make them LOSE!!! They lose Winterfell, and everyone is forced to retreat to the South!!! We can still have the heroes still die in the Battle and the Dothraki all falling but within the walls, but it was all in vain. EVERYONE will be distraught, and they are forced to turn to their enemies for aid. With some persuasion, they agree a temporary alliance to face off The White Walkers and The Night King that'll determine the fate of all of Westeros
To be fair, this must be the Long Night that would last a season so I'd see the forces of the North and Daenarys evacuate the civilian populations to the South, denying the Nigh King reinforcements from raising the dead. In the history, Romans did that to deny the enemies' battles and only start one that favors the defenders. Then the North should fortify the positions at the Twins and use guerilla warfare tactics to thin the numbers of the dead. Then we could have see Cersei going "Oh shit, the dead are serious threat than I thought" or something or have other Lanisters' commanders moving own troops to the North to defend the living after got reports the death is coming.
This show is full of woke garbage
Me leí los comics tras jugar al juego y no estoy de acuerdo en que no se explore al personaje de Bigby. Si hay un desarrollo del personaje (desde el asesinato de Rosa Roja, su relación con Blanca y su padre, su huida de Fabletown...) como lo hay de otros personajes que el juego aprovecha para desarrollar en los diálogos (Además de la linea principal que sería Fables, había comics exclusivos con cuentos que explicaban los orígenes de personajes y como habían llegado de las Tierras Natales a NY, como Blanca, Jack, Beauty... Y que juego dinamiza muy bien para mostrar las relaciones de poder y dinamizar el diálogo y que te metas en la historia) El problema es querer ver el cómic como una prolongación del videojuego cuando tanto el estilo de dibujo como la narrativa corresponden a los 2000 y The Wolf Among Us es una adaptación de videojuego ubicada en los gustos de la última década de 2010 además de que en el comic todo se cuenta de poco a poco y el videojuego sintetiza muchísimo. Ahora que lo he jugado de 2 he disfrutado más por las referencias y son muchas y con relación a los comics
This is an awesome video, it deserve waaay more views
Sometimes I wonder if the big b is just depressed and trying to shorten his life by smoking so much. Cuz Colin says in the game fables live a long time. And with all the crap he has to deal with in the game it wouldn’t shock me if he is depressed and just trying to shorten his own life by smoking but it’s just a theory of mine. (More then welcome to correct me if I’m wrong)
It's explained in the comics
Big B smokes to dull his senses. He gets sensory overload if he doesn't
@@Mavuika_Gyaru ohhh that makes sense cheers for that
Lets not include the Loot Train Attack in the list of tactically stupid battle depictions in GoT, please. The LTA made perfect sense from both sides from start to finish. Danny had an insane advantage attacking the Lannister Army while they were undeployed and did everything right, from cutting a breach into the impromptu Lannister shield wall and having her Dothraki roll them up from that flank, to focussing on the main objective (destroying the loot), switching to deal with anti air on the fly and finally routing the enemy. The Lannisters did what they could to mount a defense while not being prepared at all. The shield wall made sense against riders but wasn't deep enough and overstretched on account of them not having been deployed for battle.
I said all along that the Dothraki should have been given a means to signal either the defenders or the dragons, then harass the flanks of the army of the dead to the point where they start breaking formation or The Night King was forced to reveal himself and deal with the situation. If he doesn't go after the Dothraki then he's sending bodies away from the main fight, if he does go after them, then the dragons know where to be.
I totally agree with your observation that the comics are more "skin deep" than the game when it comes to exploring character relationships, conflicts, and themes. That was a big disappointment to me when I read the comics...including the spin-off comics/latest releases. I read the comics because the game seemed so interesting, and I immediately fell in love with the concepts, the world, and its characters. It's fun to rewatch playthroughs of The Wolf Among Us with knowledge pertaining to the comics because I can truly see the research and love that went into even the minor details of the game (such as letters from Weyland and foreshadowing of the Farm plot that happens in the comics). Despite my enthusiasm when I first started reading...the comics let me down. Thats not even to touch on the creator's blatant inclusion of his own political views...and the racist potrayal of the Arab Fables in the comic (which makes sense given the hot-blooded, pro-Israel creator's beliefs and the timeline of the comics being written post 9/11). I'm excited for the second game...but it just sucks that I feel almost like I wasted my time reading the comics. I'll be glad if TWAU 2 does a good job exploring nuance and themes and questions/concepts as well as the first game, or, hopefully, even better. As for my future interactions with the comics...jeez, I feel the need to re-write the story in a fanfiction or something just to fix a lot of major flaws and actually do something REWARDING with the concepts, questions, and character relationships it sets up...
No. I disagree with all of your theories on objectivity and your proposed re writes. That all sucks hard. It’s actually great as is. I’m glad you were in no way involved in the production of it. Your ideas for a alternate version are very lame.
The original is one of my favourite shows of all time . Only reboot that i thought decent was the 80s one. The episodes in 2019 show are too damn long. And too preachy
Bro, it's been years now. Still not over it
I feel ya. I'm the same. Only one thing would bring me Katharsis Game Of Thrones Season 8 Episode 7: An Unbridled Rage by Mauler. But he said in the recent stream he despised what they did in Season 8 and such a video may have taken months to make he was forgetting what happened in the entire show. Plus, he missed the window time when it was revalent. It's how much he loathed what happened in that season. We may not see his video. I'm amazed how much the showrunners and writers ruined the entire legacy of Game of Thrones that House of the Dragon tries to revive and fix. I believe we would only see a proper GoT ending when the show would be remade in a decade or so with a new cast... maybe G.R.R. Martin would force his lazy butt to finish the books by then. The ending we got in GoT is what Martin envisioned but after the poor reception from the show, he's kinda stuck if he should pursue such an ending still or change it.
You couldn't be more wrong when saying the force isnt important to star wars haha
SERLING! ROD SERLING! there is no "t" in this man’s name! Stop calling him Sterling!
Most modern TV shows and Movies feel the need to preach rather than entertain. Ironically they're preaching to the very ones who cherish the original series. Constantly drilling into the minds of the audience, white people, especially white males, bad every other race good, is tiresome and boring.
Yeah after I was done playing my first time with The Wolf among Us game I was obsessed with the story and heard about the comic books and after I did like and enjoy the comic books the only problem is that one of them eventually left me a cliffhanger and it was a bad one so now I'm just very curious when is the new ones coming back the comic books I mean
One of the greatest games ever made bro
And R.R. Martin should have also brought the weapon ‘s called “machine guns” into the story, lol
By all the gods with each and every new "fixing Game of Thrones" video I watch, my hatred of Dumb&Dumber deepens. The Night King needn't have bothered invading, D&D would have destroyed the world of Ice and Fire all the same.
I genuinely love both the comics and the game. The comic is long though, as I'm a late-comer
Focused too much on being woke sadly
Serling effort there 🙄
I think the show has proved that Tyrion Lannister is a terrible strategist. He really should not be part of any part of the war planning effort after his disastrous performance in Battle of the Blackwater and Meereen. He can handle the logistics of feeding the army and government. It'd be like Tom Hagen - not a wartime counselor.
Peele isn't as smart as he thinks he is either
I think the biggest problem of this twilight zone is that it’s two on the nose and too long. Most of the episodes I figured out where the plot was going in the first 20 minutes and then I realize they were still another 40 minutes to go. Once you know where it’s going, it’s not that interesting anymore. And even on a few occasions when they did, keep me wondering if usually wasn’ a good pay off. I mean look at the Donald Trump episode to see just how painfully obvious everything was.
The comic is very good its just not about the same things as the wolf among us; it's more just an incredible fantasy story. It is also probably my favorite comic series ever. In the end, wether you like the games or comics more, it comes down to personal preference and what you want from the premise.
Only if you directed it🙍🏻
There is another serious difference between this TZ and the original series: Serling was political, but not partisan. He addressed McCarthyism with "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street," but he was just as quick to address Marxism with "The Mirror" and "The Obsolete Man" (which references Stalin). Serling knew that ANY extreme of any sort, regardless of left or right on the political spectrum, could be dangerous. (BTW, Gene Roddenberry's original Star Trek series handled this the same way as well) The 2019 TZ fails in this regard. The politics are almost exclusively favorable to leftist ideas. "Not all Men" is basically a blind exercise in Misandry, and something Serling would not have approved of because of its "one-sidedness." This is beyond social commentary; it's flat out Riefenstahl-esque propaganda.
Well said.
You lost me at “Calvary”.
I can’t wait for wolf among us 2
Almost every episode of 2019 TZ was about having your status quo changed. That showed how little we had to fear in 2019. Both the 80s and 60s TZ were afraid of war. 2002 TZ's episodes were afraid of death. If Twilight Zone wants to come back, the real world needs to be terrifying. I guess were just not there right now.
How different are the comics compared to thr games? Same story or like?
Basically a failed remake of minas tirith but GOT
Side note, why does Bigby remind me so much of Rick Grimes season 4 through 6
Have the men defending the castle from inside obviously, with obsidian arrow heads But have the masses of undead be pulling up against the wall like in World War Z Have the Night King attacking the dragons (on his own dragon) so that they can’t set the wights ablaze Then have the men atop the castle walls have to slice down the eights as they breach over (We can also have wights trying to chop down the main gate, successfully or not, maybe a small opening that slowly gets larger allowing more and more in Then from there they can either win somehow by dismounting and killing the Night King Or they can lose and have only a few who can manage, escape on horseback (either through an escape tunnel in the crypts or wherever, or by dragon back, perhaps on horseback if they are ableTo get out) And then the army would continue south (if it were up to me I’d have the army of the dead win)
