Catelyn Stark wrote this finale: Bran is king, Sansa is queen, Arya does what she wants and Jon is sent away.
Jon is king of the wildlings. Catelyn didn’t have that much imagination..she’d have married her daughters off and had them as baby making machines. Bran would have been a warrior. She was a trog.
Sounds about right.
You are a legend bro
@@cmo9400 Lol i love when misogynists make up fantasies, the author himself has said Cat is one of the smartest characters but what does he know more than the incels on youtube
@@harish123az lol how is this misogynistic? Cat wouldn't want her children to rule? Isn't it established that she hated Jon?
The reason why Drogon burned the Throne was because he knew that Bran would bring his own chair
It was the only other pointy thing in the room 😢
Nope, It is confirmed that the reason is that he only burned it because the throne was in the way
“Bran the broken, Bran the wheely wheely legs no feely”
🤦♀️ You're so BAD!! 😂
You owe me a new keyboard. When I read that I spat my tea everywhere. Now I got sticky keys.
Jon: " You are my queen, now and always"
Inner Jon: "The Lannisters send their regards"
jajajajaja
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jajajajajaja no puede ser
Jamie Lannister being the kingslayer was so legendary that he tried to kill the king since the first episode!
He was the true hero of the story.
🤣🤣
I remember her watching the very first few episodes of this show and how she appreciated the quality of the dialogues. In the finals episode her reaction to the dialogue is: "Huh?"
So as all of us.
@@nansyraccoon7095 yup
I think we all had that "Huh?" about Bran being king hah.
@@newpgaston6891As far as I know, George Martin told the Show runners early on how the story will end (in case he dies before finishing the books). So Bran may become king in the books too. But certainly not with such a silly explanation.
Bran may be one king in the books but if they do it will be a dark ending.. it would be like humanity giving all it's authority to an inhuman AI..
George writes sci Fi too and I think that's bran fate, some see it as good some bad but not this hooray everyone wins because bran is king
So Bran knew all this would happen. A true mastermind! A true villan!
🤯
The puppet master
Exactly
Bran didn’t necessarily know all this would happen. Remember when Sam had to tell him Jon was legitimate because Bran thought he was a Dornish bastard? His glimpses can be fragmentary, and he does better when he knows where he’s looking.
I also thought Bran was a villain.
Bran could of looked at Cersei plans and knew about the fleet. Dany would not have lost her 2nd dragon and Missandei would not have been caught. Dany might not have gone mad all because of Bran.
The legend says Drogon is still looking for the writers
OMG, best comment! 😂
You win! Best comment!
with dead Daenerys in his claw
Drogo might join Jon in the prequel "Jon Snow" that is comming ❤
I wish I cud send him the addresses :p
Arya telling Jon that she knows a killer when she sees one, is almost funny after Dany destroyed Kings Landing. Great insight Arya. The scene with Drogon rising from the ash is pure high fantasy and i loved it.
Arya: I know a killer when see one
Jon: I executed a child last season
@@samrobotsin Arya: I'll do you one better, I killed 2 men baked into a cakeand fed them to their father.
The look on you're face when Bran was chosen was priceless. Exactly my reaction for season 8. Thank you Sophie for sharing your journey with us.
Well anyone that paid attention to Bran's conversations with Jojen and his visions would understand why he was to be King. Even George told D&D this long before the end of the show. Go back and watch them. I bet you will be surprised on what you missed and Jojen's facial expressions as he talks to Bran.
@@TheWindcrow yes exactly he had always said that he can never be a lord. But he didn't said anything about being a king
@@TheWindcrow I was just commenting on her reaction. You're saying Sophie didn't pay attention or is too stupid to understand. Like Dave and Dan, you should choose your words a little more carefully.
@@davidkoury7097 I guess you didn't pay attention either. Has nothing to do with being clueless or "stupid" as you say since you got so offended. If you had a reaction like "NO! This doesn't make sense! Then you should go back and watch Jojen and Bran's convo's again. Bran chooses his words wisely and
George told Dan and Dave that Bran is to be King just incase something were to happen to R.R. Martin. So paying attention helps. I have been here since day one with her and love her reactions and no one is calling her stupid. You taking this personally is a you thing.
@@TheWindcrow The blame lies with D&D. GRRM builds more of the story around Bran. Bran's the very first POV chapter, GRRM uses Arthurian imagery around him, has him begin to learn to rule at Winterfell while Robb is off fighting, etc.
But D&D all but said in S5 that they thought Bran was "boring." And didn't really develop him in a way that made the finale make sense.
D&D were open about the fact that Lena, Sophie, and Maisie were their favorites and it showed.
“The lone wolf dies, but the pack survives”
D&D splitting up the Starks in the most idiotic way possible: LOL
There has never been a more filthy lie told in any show than that Bran had the best story
His story was so good that he wasn’t even in season 5.
Sofie has been the best reaction for GoT, so sharp and catches things the first time around. Took me many viewings of the show as it was airing to catch it all.
Just to establish some "facts" about the second part of season 8:
Grey Worm becomes Euron Greyjoy.
Bronn becomes Petyr Baelish.
Varys becomes Ned Stark.
Jon becomes Jaime Lannister.
Dany becomes Cersei Lannister.
Sansa becomes Mance Rayder.
Aria becomes Dora the Explorer
Not Dora the explorah 💀
@@TheGassy92 lmfao 😂
Except Jon isn’t Jaime because Jon goes to the Night’s Watch and Jaime had his daddy get him out of it
Well said !!! 😆
Aria became Nymeria
I feel for Tobias Menzies (Edmure) : called back after 3 seasons just to say two lines and be humiliated 😫
He deserves it for hurting poor Jamie Fraser
He did a great job as Prince Philip on the Crown. I was blown away at how good he was in that.
He was fucking wasted by the dumbass showrunners.
@@chiarafonzi9613Black Jack Randall is all I see when I look at him now. I can't even watch *that* episode; I read the books and knew what happened, that's enough for me!
Sophie "This doesn't make any sense"
Welcome to how we all felt in 2019 after investing 10 years in this story!!
Yes. I love that the reviews proved it too considering they are trash for these episodes.
Tbh tho the show started going bad after s4.
@@melkor3496 yeah couldn't agree with you more!! Season 4 was absolute television gold the dialogue between the characters was phenomenal, i've always been a House Stark man and Jon Snow in particular and always will be but the interactions between Tyrion, Varys and littlefinger wow!!
Except most people said that about almost everything, even though it made perfect sense. The only thing she really reacted that way to here was Bran being chosen as king. While I get that it can seem strange, after you've had quite some time to think about it, it's probably the most diplomatic choice possible in that situation. Even though he's a Stark, his character now clearly has a marked quality of being impartial, whereas choosing someone like Sansa would lead to a power imbalance, and besides she'd rather be Queen in the North, so declaring independence and being that fits her much better.
Who else would make a better ruler in that situation? You could argue for Jon, but that's definitely wasn't going to happen after what went down, so who else? Tyrion himself would perhaps have been the second choice after Jon, but that's definitely not going to happen either after what went down, and he's the one trying to achieve a diplomatic outcome there, so he's not going to try to hint at himself. Other minor characters just aren't going to cut it, obviously Davos or Sam or Brienne aren't going to cut it. Robin? Don't make me laugh.
Alternatively you could argue for Gendry too, as he actually has a legitimate claim and even Targaryen blood being a Baratheon, but he's still too minor of a character, and also indisputably a bastard. He also likely wouldn't be a good fit for the type of king needed to rebuild, but more the type of king to conquer, like his father.
So in the situation, while it might have seemingly come out of left field, Bran was actually a good and diplomatic choice that would potentially make for an impartial ruler that could restore some balance after the chaos. Personally I have a hard time seeing how any other character could really have been better, and that's probably what the writers also concluded. When so many major characters are dead, there's naturally going to be a vacuum, and the best fit won't always be the ones that have had the most significant screentime.
Not everyone. I loved it.
@@mamaseesa3122if you liked s8 you’re borderline stupid😭💀
Tyrion: " You killed hundreds of thousands of innocent lives"
Dany: " I can only count to 20"
If I recall correctly, the first chapter of the first book features Bran as the central character, and I thought "Okay, this story is probably going to end with him becoming king." which seemed unlikely given everything that followed.
Dany meets Night King
Dany: Night King?
Night King: Did you do it?
Dany: Yes.
Night King: And what did it cost?
Dany: Everything...
😭😭
Genius
Like I said season 8 does have some really good moments. When Brienne is writing the story of jaime with that music theme in the background WATER WORKS. Beautiful scene.
Music and CGI the only thing done right in season 8
@@queenxx1690 agreed. I thought episode 1-3 were very good in season 8
Jamie is a sister banging, kin slaying, dickhead who banged brienne and dipped on her to go back to the same sister he killed his own cousin just so he could r*pe said sister next to the corpse of his own son.
Such a beautiful moment when that character gets remembered.
Jamie is my favorite book character, so dynamic/conflicted, but it's weird people know what his character becomes on the show can still be fans of him.
At least Daenerys doesn't turn til the end Jamie stays making immoral decisions whole show and never redeems
Brienne lied in the books making Jaime out to be a hero.
Drogon's grief is so powerful! This has never been his war. He's always wanted to go back to Valyria but had to stick by his mom. Even after he saved her from the Masters he refused to take her back. Now he's condemning the throne that he never wanted any part of because it's made him lose everything and everyone he's known. From Daenerys to Jorah to Missandei to Viserion to Rhaegal. He has nothing left except his mother's dead body . Powerful scene!
A massive Thankyou Sofie, its been a pleasure watching you react to this series. I've watched every reaction episode, and it's been so enjoyable seeing your genuine reactions, you caught every detail, connected every throw back, and noticed every single clue, it's been an emotional roller coaster and a pleasure. A massive Thankyou again from every person who's watched with you and we look forward to your reaction to "The House of The Dragon"!
Enjoyed watching your reactions to these. Some great insights throughout
Note on Sansa’s hair! Throughout the series she styled her hair after her biggest influences, her mother early on, Cersei after she went to Kings Landing and later Dany. When she is crowned queen of the north she has an original hairstyle signifying becoming her own person
a big thank you to SoFie... her commentary, clever remarks, empathy and her ability to see the tiniest of clues makes her best reactor to GoT I've seen. And to me very beautiful :)
It was a pleasure watching you experience this series... I had wanted to rewatch it myself, even knowing the ending, because there is SOOOOO much good there... but I never seem to find the time to commit (or someone new to watch with)... so it was really great watching with you because you are very sharp and catch all the great stuff and make me think about things in a way I maybe didn't first time around.... Keep killin' it.
Game of Thrones is an amazing show overall. I am not a huge fan of the last 2 seasons, but it will always be one of my favorite shows!
Same here. Hate the last 2 seasons, love the rest of them!
I’m the same. I don’t really have a problem with where everyone ends up, but it needed at LEAST one more season, ideally two, in order to get everyone there.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 🙏
The only problem with the last two seasons is the boring romance.
@@macker33 absolutely i felt so bad for Kit Harrington the only lines he had in season 8 were "i don't want it" and "she's ma Queen"
Your pain is shared, this is golden reaction.
Bran is really the only one that can't be corrupted by power. Especially right after the fall of all the kingdoms. And when the rebuilding a better future (away from family dynasties) must take place. He is the only choice. Having the insight and past visions to avoid future mistakes.
Bran the Builder.
This was a great journey and I’m glad to have been a part of it. You did a wonderful job and I’m looking forward to your HOTD reactions
Sofie, what do you mean? Who has a better story than the character off screen for an entire year whose story was too boring to show?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am not some Bran-hater, but genuinely, when I first heard years ago he will not be in season 5, I was happy.
Literally let out an impromptu chuckle when he said bran, bran the broken. Like whaaaaaa?
I was almost positive they had decided to sideline bran and were going to do a whole democracy thing with every kingdom independent and council between them... Sigh..
D&D are the blame for that. As someone who read the books before the show began airing, Bran had always been one of my favorite characters in the books. It wasn't until D&D got their hands on the character that I found him boring.
everyone is saying - Bran has most boring story why should he be KING?
and everyone is Missing the obvious thing, lol. WHY THE FUCK DOES IT MATTER BEST STORY to be A KING? LMAO!!
Like who has the most beautiful nose will become the CEO of Waystar Royco or sth. What's the relation there?
Sofie: "Bran knew the future and used everyone as chess pieces."
God Emperor Duke Leto II: **nods knowingly**
Thank you Sofie for sharing your journey with us. I agree with you that no matter how badly it ended, this was most definitely one of the greatest shows ever made. I look forward to your House of the Dragon reactions. Be well❤
The witch tells young Cersei: "“Queen you shall be… until there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear.” *Enter: Bran the Broken*
"Who have a better story than Bran?"...."Everyone else!!!" ...That's was everyone's sentiment one this finale.
Been great, thanks! For me, Jon thumbed his nose at the 6 Kingdoms, went back to the happiest place of all. Especially since the Night King is gone. And a big key to me was when Dany mentioned "from Winterfell to Dorne". To me, that means she was going after Sansa. Jon did the right thing. Again, thanks for smoothing out the GOT rollercoaster ride. Thanks!
This series is just like my rushed essays, they start so interesting and end up making no sense
Same
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What doesn’t make sense?
@@avonbarksdale91 last few eps
@@aakarshverma5793 everything is makes sense
the confusion on your face was priceless🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣" Who has a better story....." EVERYONE!!
Thank you so much for sharing your GOT journey with us! I've really enjoyed the ride and always appreciate your insight and general commentary. My one request before HOTD is that you watch GOT Bad Lip Reading! 🙏🙏🙏
The "who's that?" at the council was little Robin Arryn. It's been fun watching your reactions, and I'll be here for HotD.
U should definitely watch House of the Dragon next, It is the story about the Targaryen Civil War with around 20 Dragons in Existence....
She already said in the intro that she will, after she watches the other GoT videos
but i hope she doesn't expect the same quality....it's much worse
@@TheInvoker78 U must be joking lol😂😂...
@@lillylouu Yeah good good. I usually skip those intros that's why..😂
@@dineshbalu6107 it's even worse than worse?? ok....
Jon did the opposite of Rob Stark. Rob chose love over duty whereas Jon killed love for duty.
That was not the point of Love is the death of duty it was suppose to show us that duty is nothing compare to lovem, true love will always win even Ned Stark chose love to his daughters to spare them over his honor and duty to Joffrey ,Rob chose woman over duty ,Caitlyn chose her daughters over duty when she free Jaime in exchange of her daughters to be freed ,they inly made Jon fixated on this duty so much that is too all point of his character Jon is honorable but he is not dumb he will break it if he has to he did break his vows already when he slept with Ygritte in books he choose to march on Winterfell to save fArya from Ramsey another breaking of rules on Nightwatch not to mention that he let Wildling beyond the wall
@@queenxx1690 But he sleeps with Ygritte to keep up his cover.
And he's not really breaking any specific vow for trying to rally the Nights Watch to save fArya.
But it did go against the "spirit" of the NW to remain neutral in the political affairs of the Realm...which we don't really know if this was the always the intent of the NW or something that evolved for the Watch over the millennia...
The "Love is the Death of Duty" speech isn't saying whether love should be chosen over duty or duty over love. It's supposed to show that deciding between "right" and "wrong" is not always clear cut or easy, especially when it's very personal. And it's hard to choose against who and what you love.
It's one of the reasons that the Jedi have their rules against attachments (which, as we've repeatedly seen, doesn't prevent them from forming attachments and facing these same decisions...)
And, in Jon's case, he was torn between love on both sides (Dany vs the Starks).
Dany burning KL and then trying to justify it to him made what was "right" more clear, but it wasn't easy to become a kinslayer/queenslayer.
@@jcompton8507 he did break vows of night watch he wants take people to go fight for Winterfell against Boltons he is using his position as a Lord Commander to help Starks when he was suppose to be neutral to any wars happening in Westeros and yes sleeping with woman was also breaking rules because at that time rules were established by real knight honorable people who took their vows seriously but now Night watch is full of Rapists murdered and Bandits so taking no wife they look for a way to avoid vows by sleeping with Whores and Wildlings.I'm talking about book not show show is a crap after season 5
@@queenxx1690 love wins but a lot of the time it's the morally wrong choice and you must chose the morally correct choice over love.
@@kevinprzy4539 if you choose something else than love then it was not true love simple
As much as it’s upsetting that it appeared Jon got shafted, you’re right he’s where he will be happiest. Doesn’t want to rule, was always happiest in the real north living amongst the free folk and now gets to live amongst them
Imo Bran sent him there knowing there was no need for a nightswatch anymore & Jon would be free as Greyworm would never know
Greyworm is going to Missandei's home Island, Nauth with the Unsullied to start families as Davos suggested! Problem is: that Missandei told him that the Butterflies in Nauth are poisonous to foreigners! And how the hell do Eunuchs' start families! Guess Dan & Dave forgot!
I really wish George would someday publish the books...because these statements are so untrue for Book Jon. He _wanted_ to be _something_ , but his options were severly limited by his status as a bastard. (The only thing I _will_ say is that Book Jon makes clear is that he would never take away something from his family... Cat always claimed that he would try to take Winterfell from her children, and he was so adamant to prove even dead-Cat wrong that it's the main reason he refuses Stannis's offer to legitimize him and make him the Lord of Winterfell.)
Also, he had no particular love for the North or being cold.
What is the real north is just a tundra, nothing grows there and I thought Jon gifted The Gift to the free folks when he became lord commander.
Its like D&D didnt watch their own show, they tell you one thing and in the next episode they undo that thing that they said was a thing.
Sophie, your reactions, comments, feelings matched mine, and then some revealing thoughts I didn’t even know I was having and connecting dots I haven’t. It was so great watching this with you. You are a natural comic and made me laugh. And your insights about characters especially Jamie‘s. Death of an addict, wow. And calling little finger middle finger.?! 😂 so many little comments you made, first time I ever heard the term queen-zone lol! Your heart and mind are genius in sync 🎉😂😢 like Arya said to Sandor, “ thank you”❤
Thank you so much for this ❤️
Not everyone likes Sansa's ark and defending her is a job for most of us. But she's a true loyal northern man/Lady and she fulfilled what her brother, Rob's wish for the North, to be an independent Kingdom. For that she has my respect. The Queen in the North.
Sansa is my favorite character.
She was so loyal that she snitch on her brother in 2 seconds and spilt the secret her father kept for 20 years.
In Season 1 Aemon Targaryen says John, what will you choose when one day fate puts love or honor before you? Well, he basically spoiled the ending for us. Chills.
Sophie you truely understood Jon's and Dany's heart.
It is so good to watch a reactor that gets it
Your face when Tyrion suggested Bran for King lmao. Representing every GoT viewer everywhere.
Such a breath of fresh air to see someone be able to appreciate the good parts of the final season, rather than go into full blown irrational hate mode and rage about how the 'ENTIRE SERIES IS GARBAGE NOW' just because there was some turbulence during the rushed landing.
My thoughts exactly. I am getting so tired of all of these people who continuously rant about this show's ending like brats that did not get their dreams coming true. This show is still the best show ever made and nothing will change that for me.
@@andreim.5324 It's toxic fandom at its purest.
The creators pull off this unparalleled feat of television history, with years and years of borderline universally revered visuals and music and directing and writing, full of laughing and crying and cheering, and love and hate for various characters, in what had to have been a nearly impossible level of planning and logistics to make it a reality, and then...
...they don't 100% nail the ending, and/or give people exactly what they want, and suddenly they're hated and shit on and called talentless hacks and losers and pieces of garbage and blah blah fucking blah??
Whiny, entitled infants who throw perpetual temper tantrums the moment everything isn't specifically tailored precisely to their liking.
No sense of nuance or compartmentalization. Just a simple binary of either 'OMG IT'S THE BEST THING EVER!!!!' or 'IT'S ASBSOLUTE SHIT AND A PERSONAL INSULT TO ME AS A FAN!!!!'
It's OK, Drogon finds Berk (where there is a healthy supply of sheep), is adopted by Hiccup and Astrid, and gets to enjoy some great flying and burning villages without actually killing anyone.
The funny thing is that an elective monarchy doesn’t break the wheel. It just makes it spin faster lmao. Ask the Holy Roman Empire or the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Oh, wait, they’re no longer around to ask them
"you must be kidding me. it doesn't make sense whatsoever."
that about sums up this episode for everybody on planet Earth.
Bran: I am not lord STARK, I can't be lord of anything
Also Bran: Lord of six Kingdom, King Bran, Protector Of The Realm, King of Kings Landing, Three Eyed Raven and Lord of all and everything.😂
I love how Tyrion hates the idea of even using dragonfire at all. It's really consistant with him burning down Stannis' fleet.
"I can't frickin' believe I held the damn door for THIS" - HORDOR
You said it was bittersweet...and that is the exact word George RR Martin used when he was asked how the story will end. Bravo!
WONDERFUL JOB, SOFIE; sad it's over, but anxious for HOTD! 😊
FUN FACT: Only the Starks that King Robert touched in the receiving line at Winterfell were the ones that died! 😮
Didn't he touch Bran's head?
@@sefirotsgame - NOPE. Watch it and see. 😊 You might be thinking of Rickon.
@@DianaJG8 That's so interesting and cool!
@@sefirotsgame - Thanks! 😊💕
Your reaction to Bran being the King was basically the universal reaction .
Finally she can start a real show!! HOUSE OF THE DRAGON
I think everyone misses the point. It makes the most sense. Brand is wise and compassionate. He knew the past as well had glimpses of the future. Brand didn't know, but he saw it was on many futures. If you think back the ONLY truly good honorable ruler was Ned Stark. He ruled through compassion, was wise, and loved his children and his children loved and respected their father and his wisdom. After so many tyrants and world in chaos....it was good to see Starks on throne. It was like after all the horrible leaders...his children on thrones made so much sense.
I understand why people hates Bran king endgame but he would be a great actually for the realm. As the three-eyed raven he is all knowing; everytime a lord or smallfolk comes to him with their petitions or “stories” he can see the truth at once. Remember what happened to Littlefinger. That trial had no witness and by all laws, Baelish should have been able to come away alive but Bran saw the truth and so justice was served. Also having no “feelings” takes away biases from Bran, he will never be tyrant or cruel or greedy for more power.
Thank you for 8 seasons of great reactions, Sofie. I watched the whole series 3 times, and also went on to watch reactions to everything by 5 different reactors. I enjoyed yours by far the most. Especially from the last episodes of Season 6 until the end, you had the best insights and you looked at the series the most similar to how I understood it myself. And I said the same thing in the last episode, when Tyrion mentioned "Who else has a better story than Bran", I specifically shouted "Literally everyone" :D So thanks again, and I will make sure to also stay loyal to your channel with House of the Dragon :)
I've been saying it for years, Bran's storyline this season only made sense if he was evil
There's a TH-camr who uploaded a season 9 script building on this idea.
He is evil . He let Over a million people die just to become king ..
@@bluehope42 do u know the name ?
A relatively popular fan theory is that since leaving "its mark", the night king gradually took control of bran, so what happened at winderfell was a deception, and the NK is now ruling westeros
Bran being king is the only way his storyline makes any sense. He knows all about the past, present and future. He has no selfish desires. He can prevent history from repeating itself over and over, as humanity does time and time again. It is literally the only thing that makes sense, that breaks the wheel.
@@arobin6695Well, I wouldn’t describe him that way, but yes. Dany showed us what being driven by emotions can do. So yeah, Bran is a good choice. He is calm, measured, and with no personal agenda. He can’t be tricked or manipulated (like poor Jon, whom I loved, but would have been eaten alive as king)k he doesn’t have bias, he doesn’t crave power or adoration. I don’t recall Bran ordering people around to fulfill his visions.
@@arobin6695 I think George R.R. Martin said he wanted to look at what makes a good ruler, so I think Bran, with his knowledge and wisdom, is what he felt would be it. I mean, I don’t think anything I say is going to make you feel otherwise, which is okay. :) It wasn’t what I personally wanted, but it nonetheless made perfect sense to me story wise, and I realized that the way I would have wanted it to end didn’t as much. So it was all at once heartbreaking and satisfying. Which is very GOT. I don’t think he gave the Starks the North for selfish reasons. I got the impression throughout the show that the North never really fit in with the rest of Westeros, so I think the North being free was considered kind of a happy ending to make up for the not-so-happy parts. 😂
I will also add that Tyrion gave Joffrey a book about the history of Westeros (which Joffrey cut with his sword like a brat) because he felt a good king would require knowledge of the history of Westeros, to understand its past and learn from mistakes. I think Bran is basically that book, with present and future all mixed in. He’s no charmer, but hey, he;s got knowledge. :)
In the books, there's much foreshadowing that Bran will be king. But when they were traveling beyond the wall, Meera told him, "if we lose you, we lose everything.
there is some of this in the show too, just glazed over sadly. Bran "what else did you see?" Jojen "The only thing that matters....You"
It's really all D&D's fault for deciding he was "boring" and under-developing him.
@@jcompton8507 stop.
@@kimberlycunningham3740 seriously lol all this blame for D&D when George hasn’t even finished the damn books. Unfair.
Jon should be king. He was kind, selfless, he cared about people. He saved his family, saved Westeros, then got kicked to the wall while everyone else ended up happy. How angry!
“He became the three-eyed raven..” and everyone’s like, “yup, he sure did.” Lol what a joke
Sophie, 17:50 this makes the most sense of all. You can't be a lord of anything if you want to be King. Jojen Reed told Bran one time, "You have the sight, the Three-eyed Raven is something deeper." Bran: You see things that haven't happened yet? Jojen "and things that happened long ago and things happening right now 1000's of miles away" Bran: what else did you see? Jojen "The only thing that matters.... You? Without you were all lost"
*From articles on google: Did George R R Martin tell the showrunners about Bran's kingship?
Bran's becoming king is the only plot point from the finale that we know for certain George R.R. Martin told the showrunners about, as Hempstead Wright confirmed in an interview with Insider.
I had the same reaction when Bran became king. It is ridiculous!
Who has a better story than Bran the broken? welll...literally almost everyone else on the show!
This quote is so misunderstood it's hilarious. The writers aren't saying all the fans love Bran and think his "story" is the best. No one would ever say that.
Don't you think it's because Bran literally has the entire "STORY" of Westeros in his head? And can learn from the past to lead them into the future? Just like Tyrion says. Don't you think that's what the show is telling us?
@@AdamDG88 No I think that's too generous an interpretation for the writing in this season, truthfully. Bran the Seer, maybe would have suggested this. I like that as your headcanon, but do not see how they actually did that any more than the theory than Bran is the villain bc he orchestrated this. Interesting! Not portrayed though.
@@AdamDG88 To be honest...I really couldn't care less what the writers meant anymore....the way they flushed almost every build up over the years down the toilet in season 8 (with occasional blunders in some previous seasons too...which i was okay to overlook) just for the cheap "averting expectation' factor or Dany's 'forgetting' about euron's presence costing rhaegal's life thingy ...I happily chose and still choose to be oblivious to whatever dumb and dumber meant at this point..peace
2:20 Tyrion just was making sure that Cersei has passed away
And now my watch is ended ...
Sofie- I hope all is well with you. Just wanted to 'say' that I accidentally came across your wonderful TH-cam channel and, as a GoT lover, watched all your GoT reaction videos over a period of ten days. I so enjoyed your comments, observations and reactions, and was quickly caught up in re-watching all the key scenes of this extraordinary TV series. Your videos reminded me why I still love GoT, despite it's flawed, rushed ending. It's been an absolute treat revisiting the series with such a witty, intelligent, joyful, tearful, life-affirming person - such brilliant and beguiling company. Keep up the great work. I'm checking out your 'House of the Dragon', reactions next. Thanks so much. Best wishes.
Thank you so much I appreciate it.
Hearing you call him “King beyond the wall” made me feel so much better about John’s fate. That’s where he belongs, he would never choose to be their king and they would never follow anyone else.
what.... king beyond the wall was only a thing when the wight walkers were a thing and the true north is a tundra even when its spring or summer in the south. The freefolks were trying to get south of the wall for centuries and when they finaly get there, they just head back north.
And I thought Jon gave them the Gift when he became lord commander, another waste of build up.
@@yusufraage8554 lol true true but there isn’t even a wall anymore so I suppose he is just the leader of the free folk.. and whoever they send to the wall. John is too good for Kings landing anyway. I guess the writers got so lazy they just left it up to all our imagination.. cuz WHY did they end with John going beyond the wall? Wtf is Drogon taking Dany? What’s west of Westeros or is Arya just gonna loop back to Essos or will we never find out? see this is why I try not to think about season 8.. WHY TF IS BRAN THE BORING THE KING OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS after he told us he COULDNT be king of anything.
@@ldeast25 If he is their leader then he is a bad leader, leading his people into a waste land.
It's an obnoxiously stupid finale, but I loved your reaction to the whole series so much, that I endured it a second time just to follow you along.
I think Tyrion proposing Bran as King was one of his most brilliant ideas. It had nothing to do with Bran's fitness, and everything to do with how Bran would let the wisest people in his Small Council rule while he would search the history and present day in his mind to guide the major decisions and watch for danger. Bran will not let his emotions influence his rule because he doesn't have any emotions now... and this will give Westeros time to heal along with the incentive for each House to work together and raise their children to be wise in the hopes of being elected as the next king.
I've watched a handful of other TH-camrs react to all of GoT and you are easily the most eloquent, aware, intuitive and observant, with some of the best takes I've heard from anyone. It's genuinely impressive that this was your first time watching the series, and having never read the books. Thank you for covering this show. It wasn't the exact ending I wanted or imagined, but Game of Thrones and the world of Westeros will always hold a special place in my heart. Watching you experience it for the first time was so much fun.
I appreciate these actors performing while knowing the script was horrible.
Bran as a king doesn’t make any sense! He didn’t do anything the whole series and now bum! he’s the king. Literally everyone everyone has a better story (even Edmund 😂)
I am glad that you enjoyed the ending
Sophie you will be even more ok with Jon's story when you find out that they are doing a show about him going North as we speak.
It's been great ride watching you watch every episode. I love game of thrones and I knew you would too. It was fun seeing you shocked, seeing you laugh, seeing you pissed and of course seeing you cry many time. All your reactions were great to hear. I will never forget you naming Lord Baylish "Middle Finger". So funny and so appropriate. In conclusion you did a great job Sofie. By the way you are very beautiful and looking at you is always a pleasure. Until the next one. Take care Sofie!!! Your big fan, Lino🥰
The way I see Bran being voted as King means the start of monarchs being nothing more than figureheads. He runs nothing, the way kings ruled before is no more, the small council is now ostensibly a government making all the decisions rather than advising the King and the king ignoring them and doing what he wants anyway.
16:54 Even this line here doesn't make sense when you think about it. Sansa doesn't know any "cruel and stupid" sons of kings. Joffrey was not the son of a King and Ramsey sure as hell wasn't.
Hearing you rant about how Bran being king makes no sense made me laugh 😂 I'm not sure why D&D thought this was a good ending
It has been a joy watching your reactions. You are extremely perspective, interesting and emotionally invested.
Sofie, this whole reaction videos is great journey with you! Thank you for your reactions! :)
Over the past week I've binged this entire series with you. Thank you for your joy, sorrow, laughs, cries, love, anger, all the other emotions, and most of all for that great smile! Had a blast reliving this great series through your eyes. On to House of the Dragon!
Gotta love Sansas "I wish there had been another way" Maybe if you hadn't caused all of this there would have been.
Like she literally lied to him in the godswood and broke a vow at least Arya didn’t say anything. But what baffles me is after learning that he’s also a Targaryen and dany is technically king they still refuse to accept her because Arya said “she’s not one of us and I’ll never get to know her.” Dane and Dave really had some views about dany and it shows 😒 they can’t wrote women well without George and gave us unnecessary dialogue and scenes that made no sense all just to make the stark girls seem like they’re the strongest and smartest people because Sansa and Arya are their favorite characters.
The last two seasons were a disgrace but it doesn’t take away from how good this show was in it’s prime.
four seasons*
@@Al-ji4gd I enjoyed season 5 tbh
@@kevinprzy4539 Meh, last couple of episodes were good, but it was probably the most boring and meandering season of the entire show.
Bran always used to say to people that he can see past and things happening right now but he never told to people that he can see the future, he hide that part, so thats why he said i can't never be lord of anything cause he know he is gonna lord of the 6 kingdoms.
Anyways everybody got what the love, it was nice ending.
At the Emmy Awards when GOT won its 4th consecutive best drama award in 4 years, D&D backstage said, from the very start George told us that it was going to be Bran on the Iron Throne & we didn't deviate from it. This was the biggest issue that people had with this episode, which could be a major reason why George is redoing his ending for years now. I'm ok with the ending, when all the smoke clears, it made the most sense. All the other major pieces fit into place perfectly. If anyone paid any attention to season one, episode one, the answers were all there. The show was really about the Starks, it centered around them, they got the bulk of the airplay in the show & to those remaining Starks, they got what they coveted. Bran, the last major piece, was being groomed to lead from the very start, he was the most enthralled with the King coming to Winterfell. Too many people watching the show, they always thought about deserves, rather then what the main characters that were left, really coveted.
I really enjoyed watching your videos every week. HOTD was great, but not without flaws if you choose to look for them. See you there.
George is taking so long because he can't figure out how to get all of his offshooting plots to fit.
Bran as King doesn't _not_ make sense based on what we've seen so far in the books.
D&D didn't commit to making Bran interesting once they ran out of source material. The fault lies with them (well, and George for not finishing the books.)
@@jcompton8507 George is close to 15 years now on his putting out his next book. You're giving the guy way too much credit, for turning out to be a lazy toad. What was such a bigger priority for him then not finishing the books as what he signed on for when HBO took on the show? Blaming D&D is a cop out. You could see here on TH-cam after he they finished shooting season 3, in a GOT panel, that George was already worried on the pace that D&D was churning out the show, that they would him pass him by. He had 6 years to finish the books, since they signed on & approached season 6. He left hundreds of GOT employees in limbo, by not putting out the next book, so D&D got tired of waiting around for him & moved on. George tends to borrow from other books/movies, there are so many similarities to dozens of movies that were put out, one needs to question on whether he ran out of ideas & needed other people's minds to draw from. Simply said, Bran in the wheelchair with unlimited mind power to see the future & the past, becoming the leader of Westoros, was stolen from the character Charles Xavier, the leader of the X-men, who also has the power of the brain to see things, who also was disabled in a wheelchair. By no means a coincidence. Bran was groomed to lead in the very first minutes of the pilot episode, if you fit all the other pieces to where they truly belonged, Bran was the most logical choice to lead. To me, the best 20 consecutive episodes came from the start of season 6 to season 8 episode 3, no books in tow. The show's last few episodes, George had already built the platform to where the train would arrive, it's George's fault for being lazy & not building the proper tracks to it. He would not need to change the ending, working on it for 3 years now, if it wasn't his ending. A laundry list of flaws in the writing in the first 5 seasons if one took the time to find them, as many George fans tend to only put blame on the screenwriters for the last few seasons without bothering to pick apart the first 5 seasons.
"I know a killer when I see one" Oh Gods... it's coming back... I'm about to stroke again
We never really got to know the depth of Bran’s powers.
What was he doing under the tree waiting for the Night King?
Was he time traveling to orchestrate all the things that ever happened to Arya so she would get there just in time to kill the Night King?
Did Bran go back and get himself pushed out of the tower so he would eventually become the Three-eyed Raven?
Did he go back 1,000 years to Valyria and suggest to Aegon that he fly to Westeros?
There is a fan theory that Brann is possessed by the night's king since leaving "his mark". So the nigfht just got crowned
Sansa trying to explain why She can rule the Northmen but Bran can't is probably the biggest wtf in retrospect
Arya (for dany) - I know a killer when i see one.
Jon - aren't u little late sister ? 😂
its funny no one talks about how power hungry sansa always was and how she got what she wanted yet anyone just feels bad for john for getting what he wanted from the start of the show lol
But who better to rule than someone who literally knows everything and can see anything from anyone’s life. He knows what they’re plotting and what alliances they’ve made and he knows what they’ll do in the future. He’s basically god and he isn’t power hungry and won’t make emotional decisions. He has all of the qualities you hope a ruler has and more. He can never be fooled or manipulated by anyone everyone else has this human factor which can be flawed and lead to their downfall and the kingdoms
Remember the story of cousin Orson smashing the beetles. Gung gung gung. I think Tyerion just got his answer why he did it. Anger & frustration
I really enjoyed watching this show with you sweetie. Honestly I’ve come to appreciate the last season as the years have gone on. I sincerely hope we get a Jon Snow sequel. His legacy can’t have been for nothing. I look forward to watching more shows with you.
His legacy lies in his deeds and honor, not whose vagina he came out of.
11:13 ,I love this face of Sofie 😄
Did you notice the tuft of grass on the ground when Non and Tormund passed the barrier? Guess it won't be so cold in the true North anymore 😅
Bran being chosen was perfect and the most logical choice. Felt right when I first saw it. I never assumed that Bran knew he would be king all along (or since becoming the 3ER). It’s not like he can see the future perfectly as the future is not written in stone. He has a deep sense of intuition and only was aware to the idea of him being king after the final events in kings landing. Him “travelling all this way” likely referred to him traveling to kings landing from winterfell, not his entire journey through the show. Was a great final season that got all the emotional beats right. I feel sorry for people (not you) who view shows through the lens of pure logic rather than emotion. Being hit with emotional feels is 1000% more satisfying than everything making sense on a logical level or every piece of dialogue being consistent I.e “he said he could never be lord if anything!!!” Dude, he meant what he said at the time but CHANGED his perspective once events transpired. Great reaction series. You are definitely in tune with the emotional side of things which is why I think I enjoyed watching you react so much. Glad you enjoyed it! Look forward to watching your HOD reaction.
