Don't forget they're illiterate, can't farm, can't do anything really and insult people on the mainland for objectively being better in all areas than them
“The silver queen is gone,” the ketch’s master told him. “She flew away upon her dragon, beyond the Dothraki sea.” “Where is this Dothraki sea?” he demanded. “I will sail the Iron Fleet across it and find the queen wherever she may be.” The fisherman laughed aloud. “That would be a sight worth seeing. The Dothraki sea is made of grass, fool.” He should not have said that.
Unfortunately I’m kind of a Greyjoy “stan.” The only piece of GoT merch I’ve ever purchased was the “We Do Not Sow” HBO beer glass, and when my friends and I got into the GoT TCG, I went out and bought a Greyjoy deck instead of using one of the 4 starter decks.
The Greyjoys aren’t my favorite house but I do love Theon/Reek, Asha, and Damphair. Victarion and Euron are cool antagonists, and I like Balon for being a piece of shit and partially giving my boy Theon daddy issues. Dahmer and Wex are pretty cool too.
Victarions chapters are so cool. Many fantasy authors tried to portray a dumbass chad type charachter but none I came across come close to victarions joyride with his boys and toys. Gurm just knows how to write an evil guy/ dumbass. Even a top shelf author like McCarthy has his evildoers monologuing about their ideals, philosophy and motivations. Victarion literally just does shit for whatever reason but it always feels natural instead of random.
I just finished a feast for crows and I loved the iron born chapters in the books, especially victarion. They really feel like this culture that’s entirely separate from Westeros that has very strange and barbaric customs, while in the show they were just dirty boat people lmao
I'll check this out. You guys always have great videos on this stuff. But whenever I think of the Iron Islands. I think of a quote Daniel Day-Lewis' character gave in Gangs of New York. "On the seventh day the Lord rested, but before that he did, he squatted over the side of England and what came out of him... was Ireland." That pretty much sums up the Iron Islands for me. P.S (Edit) This in no way reflects my thoughts on Ireland.
I’m pretty sure they replace more white characters with black actors than black characters with white actors. The only black people should be summer islanders wearing feather cloaks.
The ironborn just don’t make a lot of sense. They have too many men for being a couple of small, infertile islands. It needs to be Ireland-sized or their traditional lands needed to include some of the coastline.
D&D screwed us with Chekhov's horn there. In the books it is supposed to be a huge deal but in the show it never comes up as anything useful or important.
Victarion thinking back on Talbert, respecting him and accepting the “bed warmer” to not have her killed shows he’s probably the only iron born who’s not a complete sack of shite
I hate balon most of all, theon wanted to ally with the starks which were the only other faction fighting for independence and thus the only other one willing to support ironborn independence and they could have focused their forces on the much more profitable and much easier to hold westerlands and reach(asha later came to this conclusion as well and it was basically her campaign promise at the kingsmoot) but balon wanted to LARP with his whole "we do not sow" line, then when theon can't convince him against his moronic plan to invade the north(think of the north as a combination of russia and afghanistan then imagine some knockoff vikings trying to conquer it) he shows some initiative and seizes winterfell(which has a sustainable food supply due to the glass gardens) which further messes up northern supply lines and gives the ironborn effective control of the center of the kingdom but instead of congratulating him and reinforcing him balon and asha(who wants to LARP as a pirate lord and please daddy respectively) scold him, tell him to abandon his fortified strategic position for useless coastal territory(the stony shore doesn't sound like it's fit for agriculture) and ultimately abandon him and most of the north, balon had and gave up an opportunity to have ironborn independence with a powerful ally in the kingdom of the north and the trident and control over some of the richest gold mines(in the westerlands) and most fertile farmland(in the reach) in westeros then after he went with his moronic version of operation barbarossa he had and gave up a golden opportunity to occupy the entire north all because he wanted to play pirate lord
Victorian doesn’t wear armour to flex he wears armour because no true follower of the drowned god would be afraid of drowning it’s the best death an iron born could wish for
I admit I don't like the Ironborn (In fact I'm vaguely disappointed by them) but I swear by the Old, New, and Drowned God(s) is Euron Greyjoy terrifying and awesome. I'm not sure if he's magic, high, or just crazy but I will sail with that mad bastard on to the apocalypse if only to see how crazy it gets.
we NEED a theory video what if Ned legally transitioned to be a women, i need to know how robert would react and how it would affect song of ice and fire
They are a repulsive people but I begrudgingly respect them for the fact that they are unapologetically them. They refuse to adhere to either the Faith or the Old Gods and the culture associated with them. They believe they are not of the same people of the green lands. It’s wild. And Victariaon wears full plate on the open sea because he isn’t afraid of drowning that’s a whole thing with the Drowned God.
Before the podcast begins opinion: show watcher only: GREYJOYS ARE AWFUL and the Iron Islands, should they ever be blown to hell from an atomic bomb, all the world would be lost is one atomic bomb.
This is the best channel on TH-cam. Seems like every asoiaf channel is run by soyboys so it's awesome to see the CORRECT red pilled takes on this series finally being explored. You guys are gonna be huge.
when are you going to make a video on who would win the game of thrones if the game of thrones was actually just Dragon Quest 3's new HD2D remake? My money is on Robert.
Let us know your thoughts and we will tell you why you are wrong
Second Austin Powers movies the best.
Victarion is the true hero of A Song of Ice and Fire. My favorite character.
Definitely make the euron greyjoy video about the book version
The Red Kraken is the biggest chad in the entire dance of the dragons
Average Ironborn experience:

Rodrik Harlaw learned all the lessons but Iromen are afraid of him because he reads books.
Euron is exception
Don't forget they're illiterate, can't farm, can't do anything really and insult people on the mainland for objectively being better in all areas than them
Vote Stannis for office, Total Greyjoy Death.
He defeated them once he will do it again.
The Freyjoys.
The stannisters
The stannys
More like GAYjoy
Lol
So real
More like Gay...boy?
Got em!
Roasted
Guys, never stop making videos. Ur style is so fricking unique. One of the few channels I watch every video of
If only everyone in the fandom agreed with you. We need more based brothers in here asap 🤙🏼
Euron went from wanting to ascending to a drowned god and bring down the apocalypse to just a horny pirate
Based Victarion wearing plate armor on a ship
It's not too crazy to wear plate armor on a ship, I wear it everywhere. Whether I'm grocery shopping, playing golf or out on a night on the town.
With a fiery hand
victarion's exclusion is so noticable...
House greyjoy is prime example of Alphas being led by beta king (balon) . Balon is poor man version of walder frey(true hero of asoif)

Victarion Greyjoy best character.
Start the damn stream Im pissing myself, enough edging now.

They are less soggy and cringe in the books I must admit

My prediction for Winds of Winter is Victarion has the idiot-savant perk and bumblefucks his way to the Iron Throne.
The Chad greyjoy> cringe Targaryen
Victarions chapters are so cool. Many fantasy authors tried to portray a dumbass chad type charachter but none I came across come close to victarions joyride with his boys and toys.

Same way I feel about the Iron Islands. Agree to disagree about Ireland.
Last time I was this early, my girlfriend left me
same
It's true i was his girlfriend
Get a boyfriend next time
Time to start retention grindset arc. 😄
Victarion is honestly one of the funniest characters in asoiaf and it's all unintentional because he's funny for how stupid he is
Only thing I hate more than a liar is an Ironborn, which is just a beached squid lying about being a human.
Drowning their entire population wouldn't even be genocide, it's what they want.
I’m pretty sure they replace more white characters with black actors than black characters with white actors. The only black people should be summer islanders wearing feather cloaks.
Wasn't the red priest assigned to victarion black?
@Edmures_rampant_manhood He is burned black not african black. Possible he's a summer islander but the text indicates he is literally burned
@@chancedevereux1484 ok. Thanks for the clarification.
Found you guys today. 17 mins into this vid. Already queuing up the rest. This is great.

Now I need a ''How Game of Thrones RUINED House Martell I Game of Thrones'' version
What is dead may never die.
Victarion thinking back on Talbert, respecting him and accepting the “bed warmer” to not have her killed shows he’s probably the only iron born who’s not a complete sack of shite
Victorian probably frees slaves in reference to Blackbeard who as a pirate freed slaves for the sole purpose of bringing them into his crew
Exactly
The Greyjoys don't have slaves, they have thralls. A man pays the Iron Price for thralls or he has none.
They really did our guy Dagmer dirty

Grey joys bunch of losers in the show
"Only Greyjoys use condoms, baby." - Austin Powers
I was so hyped for Euron going C'thulu in the show, but they did nothing with him.
11:17 Are you saying drownding? Love your channel, just curious if that’s what I’m hearing lol
Yeah we can't help but put D's in places they are not supposed to be
House Greyjoy had the potential to be badass
Austin powers Euron and Macho Man Selmy are the canon versions of those characters
The second Austin Powers movie is my favorite.
Hmm maybe something on Dorne next? Like they BUTCHERED that House 😅😅
Though Princess Weekes has done one amazin' video on it! The tea!! ❤❤❤
"I HAVE NO LUCK WITH WIVES"
Victorian found a cringe priest in the ocean and abandoned the god he had his whole life in like ten minutes.
I mean, the drowned god wasnt gonna save victarions life and give him a badass murder hand was he???
No he didn't. He took 2 gods. What man can stand against a man with 2 gods?
@@georgeprchal3924 a man with seven gods.
@@SquashGuy02134 true but it's something Victarion says when Maqhoro heals his hand and he gives the red priest his due.
@@SquashGuy02134 no way you hit em with the seven
Many people thinks that the Direborn have the biggest fleet in. Westeros but no , the Reach has 250 ships vs the Iron Islands 100
Love my name is earl reference, such a good show, very underrated, gives more credibility to you guys
I love Don boy’s intros.
Gaybois > Greyjoys
Fact check true
Victorian doesn’t wear armour to flex he wears armour because no true follower of the drowned god would be afraid of drowning it’s the best death an iron born could wish for
yu yu hakusho mentioned, now you have to do a togashi-related episode:
'Could Hisoka have prevented the Targaryen conquest?'
Dr. Evil to Mini-Me and Scotty or Tywin Lannister to his children: Who is the better father figure?
Every single Iron Islander should get the Ramsey Bolton treatment so their whole cursed race goes extinct
Asha thinks she can temp Stannis with her fair young body...
Asha: No he already has a wife and Stannis Baratheon and I are old enemies.
I admit I don't like the Ironborn (In fact I'm vaguely disappointed by them) but I swear by the Old, New, and Drowned God(s) is Euron Greyjoy terrifying and awesome. I'm not sure if he's magic, high, or just crazy but I will sail with that mad bastard on to the apocalypse if only to see how crazy it gets.
Comment and sacrifice to the Drowned god and the algorithm
When I read the books, Victarion is played by Clancy Brown in my brain.
Even Euron knows that Victarion is stronger then he and would happily kill him if not for the laws kinship.
Yu yu hakusho top tier
Truth
Imma be honest, book Euron is one of the main characters in my 'hear me out' cake.
Whats heavy a pound of gold or iron ?

I think thats another channel
Imagine guntguarding for House SoyJoy. TGD
Iron price or gold?
you can swim in full plate armor.
Book Euron and Victarion are straight badass
Petition for “In Defense of Aegon IV” here
Why did they stop the rewatch of GoT and why is the craster video so short
I think Balon is the worst. I think Theon/Reek is in contention for best redemption angle.
If the only grayjoy I can somewhat stomach is Victorian
HBO Ironborn really are just trailer trash but with boats
what i think about house greyjoy? great house theme song. that's about it.
Euron is the only good guy in the books. I am pretty sure he can solve issues with climate change
when are you going to make a video on who would win the game of thrones if the game of thrones was actually just Dragon Quest 3's new HD2D remake? My money is on Robert.
The Ironborn suck regardless but at least Victarion and Euron are entertaining and the show cut Victarion and utterly butchered Euron
