The Take by ScreenPrism still no House Reed?
You word everything so beautifully it blows my mind! I love watching these videos because it broadens my perspective on life, and the best tv show ever Game Of Thrones. Thank you for making these videos! 😊
Please do the Faith of the Seven and the Sparrows next
American gods, How bout the take on that series?
Please no more intersectional feminist bullshit. You guys were doing so well.
this video just reminds me how much chemistry jon had with ygritte and how little he has with dany
I mean... they did get married IRL
Emilia is their friend so I suppose it was like kissing her brother.
brodamerons exactly!!!! No chemistry whatsoever. I hated this turn
@@christinamowatt8855 or her nephew;)
@@amandatidey5751 😆
"You're not in the seven kingdoms and you're not dressed for this weather" lmao
This was great. Stannis was broke with silence this time.
A man with wisdom, as truer word has never been spoken.
i'd think the Free folk words would probably be: "We do NOT kneel."
King?
They are too free to be rebel to traditions. Having a negation of authority in their motto would be a contradiction to this. GreyJoy have similar pattern to your suggestion. It sound like they have to break chain everytime they want to tell who they are.
I think of motto for the free folk more like "Winter covers your path" meaning the snow make you free of choosing a path. A path that is not of paved road by king. Or they would have a motto for small clans. A motto that change like the wind...... Oh i like that one better "Winds is the path"
If they refer to the southerners for a motto it would be either insulting or laughing of them. "We do NOt Kneel to a wall"
The freefolk remeber. I remember that being said northerners and freefolkhave lots in common.
"Bend the knee!"
"Only if you are worthy. Are you?"
The free folk and dothraki are basically anarchists and I love that 😍
Y'all, we should all take a moment to appreciate how great of a mother Gilly is
Ygritte, Jon Snow's one true love. Now and always.
yeah, screw dany
yeah it’s a little disappointing that dany and job weren’t able to get a good chemistry going before consummating the skinny love they had :/
I gave it a few seasons. I was right.
Well, the two actors are a couple now…
anlumo1 they’re actually married
Addiction to bending the knee is pretty accurate. And yet I'm still questioning Jon's attraction to Daenerys.
Daenerys is like Ygrit, free and does as she wants. In addition, her people chose her like Mance.
@@John-uw2je Dosen't matter if show writers don't know how to write a romance
well he is a targaryen, so its natural that he would be attracted to her
Oscar: Dany was chosen by the Unsullied and others in Essos whom she freed from slavery. She was chosen by the Dothraki based on her strength. She has not been chosen by the Westerosi, who are not enslaved. They regard her as a conqueror.
She fights for others and as a result people choose to stand with her. Jon admires what shes done and the fighting spirit in her is similar to ygritte
Man, Tormund needs to survive to the end of the show or there will be no more Free Folk representative of consequence. That plus he's freakin' awesome. Great video!
MarcTheLoneGamer what about Gilly??
paige Stubbs she doesn’t really count since she knows very little and she just wants to be with Sam.
imagine if we get a tormund pov chapter
I love Tormund!! He’s one my favorite characters!!
“Is that a palace?!”-Ygritte
So cute in that moment.
George said that the free folk were based of the Scottish which makes sense considering the wall being like Hadrian’s wall and the stigma around them mirroring the stigma around Scots in the middle ages
James Dracup it’s Roman Britannia not middle ages
I thought all the northerners were based on Scottish.
@@sana3843 more like Russians to be fair
Cause of their conservatism and obviously brutal winters
But free folk and first men are based off of Celts in general
Andals being the Anglo saxons
@@sana3843 think the northerners are based of the house of York as the whole war of the five kings is basically the wars of the roses also they all have very think northern English accents
@@rajikage3098 the northerners are based of house of York
The Free Folk could be any civilization in history that was conquered. The Vesagath and other people that the Roman conquerored. This story of hating another culture is a story as old as human history.
I think you got it backward, the Visigoths conquered Rome.
@@keithbos4506 I find it a bit poetic that one of the things that Rome fell (other then themselves) was the very prejustice they had.
The free folk were never conquered though, nor seen as so by anyone in the story
I really think Ygritte was amazing!
She was fierce and idealistic, another rarity South of the Wall.
And seeing how Arya has always been a rebel, I think she would've gotten along quite well with the free folk.
DAMN GIRLS UR ON FIRE THIS WEEK
They spoiling us 😭
They probably make these videos weeks prior then release them between each new Game of Thrones episode.
The freedom to make my own mistakes, is all I ever wanted. Now my favorite GOT qoute
As annoying as they made Ollie he had a real reason to hate them
Shan Martin he was angry and manipulated. If Jon has told him the bigger picture than maybe he would have understand that they need to work together. I am not mad at him killing Ygritte. She murdered his father and he wanted revenge but also in the trouble of the battle he didn’t know what she meant to Jon. He saw her holding a bow against his lord commander and he did it to save him in his opinion.
I need a video about Brienne of Tarth from you guys!
Brienne is my favorite character, maybe one of my favorite characters of all time.
@@nicanornunez9787 in the books she's even better. Especially when she's kicking ass in a feast for crows
Yes! That would be great!
That’s my girl!!
This video just made me miss Ygritte 😭😢
Always have a crush for her..... that I would like to forget since she raid a village of northeners farmers. Fierce women are the best
Westorosi: This is our land
Free Folk: It was our's before you
Giant: We were here first, before any human.
Child of the forest: *taps Giants shoulder* (he's in a tree or something) Close second Buddy.
I guess in that regard free folk are more like the Westorosi than they think.
This would mirror Australian Aboriginals if you wanted a real-life comparison.
I've always loved the deeper meaning behind "You know nothing", especially in the way it turned around on Ygritte when she had her first look at the other side of the Wall. Such a great moment.
Ygritte has been and always will be the only woman good enough for Jon, hell she's perfect for him. Last episode I was actually pretty offended that the show producers were kinda trying to picture Dany as Ygritte... look, Dany and Jon have zero cuemistry, let's recreate the good times Jon and Ygritte had together in the cave to make it look like Dany is a match...
Maybe the actors don't have that much of chemestry, but the characters story arcs are really similar, I mean they are the ice and fire
The wall was inspired by Hadrian's Wall in England. it was built by the Romans because they couldn't deal with the threat of the Celtic Scots to the north. No this is not a metaphor for the Mexican border. Game of thrones is about Europeans. Sorry to disappoint.
Inspired, yes. Though this story reflects humanity over all. Moral of the story is we’re stronger together then we are apart. Death comes for us all and our ignorance of those we label as “uncivilized” is our weakness.
@@MrStoptheEU It wasn't cultural difference so much as it was centuries of bloodshed between each clan of Free Folk. The Seven Kingdoms are an example of Seven unique cultures able to live in harmony as if you look up their history, relations between Kingdoms were fairly peaceful (for the most part) and no ill prejudices exist between say a Dornishman or a Northman. The Dornish and The Reach are in conflict ONLY with each other due to a violent history of the Reach trying to expand its borders. Same with the Iron Islands and the Riverlands. The conflict between cultures arises from history, not culture itself.
The fact that Martin was inspired by Celts doesn't negate the wider symbolism that can be drawn from his fiction, nor does it negate the broader parallels between other parts of human history. The cultures may be different, but the message is still the same.
Oh Scott’s love to think that the Romans “couldn’t deal” with the picts…. If I have a penny for every time I’ve heard this fable about the “need” for Hadrians wall…
He has also incorporated Asian history
I absolutely love Ygritte, Tormund and the great Mance Rayder. I think they represent the Scottish.
The Picts.
Mink 1973 Yh.if you look at Britain,it’s a bit like that the wall where it was the Picts and Roman English
The Inuits too, people of the True North
Can't wait for these guys to meet the Dothraki. Created at extreme points of the worlds, brave and fierce warriors, who are first on the field, they are going to give a hell of a fight to the Army of the Dead.
I feel like we’ve been robbed by not hearing what Tormund thinks of Dany and his getting to ride a dragon.
Dothraki are vastly superior in combat.
This didn't age well lol
@@johnDoe-yt4bx That's an understatement.
@@PittsburghSonido phfff they are only good on horses these dudes are with giants with mammoths and are wild😈north men win
This is the best channel on youtube imo. I loved the GOT vids before and now I get to see more of them quicker and with the same quality. Great work from your team.
p.s. a faceless man video would be awesome ;)
i feel like the worshipers of the many faced god and that storyline are the most interesting and mysterious, and based on it being successfully fleshed out in this last season will determine if i love or hate got in its entirety.
This, Wisecrack & NowThisNerd are the best
Ryan Webb nerd soup is better
This is the lesson I learned in 2005 while deployed in Iraq. Wy whole world view changed when I actually met "the bad people" and found they were nothing like what we are told. Sadly not everyone has had this experiance and so we still spin fear and hate over immaginary stramen.
You should do the Kingsguard next
I totally agree
Finally, an analysis about who are the Free Folk is, is finally made and DONE WITH JUSTICE. I share the same value system with the Free Folk and I am happy with your analysis.
I have to say bravo! Your videos are insightful and the way you connect them to our world and current situation is amazing.
You do a great job!
My favorite. Stateless and free. Primitive but no less than the nobles. Jon as King would understand freedom is vital to the people, due to his experience with the Free Folk.
But he dont want it :(
I mean, they did slaughter entire villages, including children. Just cause Yggrite was shown to be nice and save one kid doesn't mean the rest of them didn't butcher eery innocent person they saw. Sure, they'd had a tough time of it, but I wouldn't be so quick to forgive and forget that sort of thing. A different perspective can't excuse everything.
They didn't do anything any of the seven kingdoms hasn't done over and over again on an even larger scale.
Which majes them just as bad ...
They do rape , pillage , slaughter and raid , so they're by no means " good "
@@waddahyana494 : It was the way of the world at the time. And they were a large fragmented tribes before they were brought together
They're basically Celts and Gauls.
This. Also Robert E. Howard used them to represent the Cimmerians in Hyboria
Nah the gauls were skilled craftsmen they had a society they were much more civilized than you think they were
IceSwallowCome Gauls are french Celtics are Scots,Welsh and Irish etc.
IceSwallowCome same with the Éireannach 😂
They parallel the Celts, great individual fighters but lost to the Romans more organized fighters. They do not parallel Native Americans, especially because the wall was based off Hadrians Wall, which was built to keep out the Celtic tribes from Scotland.
Ulster Scott culture in the US South and South West remains based on not being organized on many things, especially labor unions or even a sense if modern rebellion. The Northern and Western US is better organized. I recognized many such traits in the equally misguided sense of freedom in the Wildlings.
Things can parallel more than one thing. It's clear, especially in the show, that they are meant to parallel indigenous Americans. Or at least, the evidence of that parallel is easily obtainable and understood. Just because something is *based* off one very specific things, doesn't mean we can't draw connections to other things.
@bbonner422 Read Albion's Seed. And the Ulster Scots were Scots who were settled in Ulster, Ireland and then mixed with Northern English. I wasn't talking about Celtic, strictly speaking, just what they reminded me of. And influence of English does not mean they became a non-Scottish culture.
They can parallele both Celts and Natives Americans. I even made a parallel between Israel and Palestine.
@@IBBMS lol No, even George has stated they're based off the Celts and that the wall is based off of Hadrians Wall. Like this is explicitly said by the Author. Sure you yourself can draw lines to other situations but both the culture and people are based off the Celts not the Native Americans.
This was a beautiful reading of how systems when abused corrupt people. This reading’s a proof you don’t have to serve leaders who are not willing to actually serve their purposes which is serve the people.
It'd be awesome to see a video on Bronn, the most criminally underrated character in the show's history
Y'all have the best GOT videos
This is ScreenPrism's most insightful and penetrating GoT analysis thus far.
Wouldn't it be great if all fans of GoT would see it? Like maybe Stephen Miller, or Bibi Netenyahu?
Yowzoe Netanyahu is also a PoS. He reminds me of Cersei
@@blackflagsnroses6013 He's a corrupt selfish egoist who has fucked his country, much like Cersei and Trump.
TALKING THRONES IS THE BEST
Netanyahu is a product of his environment just like the people of the show. His brother was killed by the people who he trained and fought through multiple wars brought on by forces beyond his control. His misguided revulsion of other people makes a whole lot of sense when you consider his perspective.
Dear The Take,
Y'all are killing it. I love this series. Keep it up!
Under different circumsances, I think Mance and Ned would have got along swimmingly.
I also with Ygritte could have met Dany. Just for the fireworks.
Sometimes living behind a wall means freedom. Thats why there is no place like home. Your house with walls where your have to freedom to be yourself. I love freedom and I love walls.
i miss ygritte. my favs always die too soon
Aimee I liked OSHA
The thing is, we have a real threat to the North, though it’s a warm one, not a cold one. We all need to put aside our petty differences and work together to defeat the dangers of climate change. IT won’t care what country you’re from, what colour your skin is, or what religion to follow.
Greenpeace can’t stop it, the United Nations can’t stop it and all the disparate countries can’t stop it. Only together, and even then it may not be enough but at least we can preserve what we already have.
An interesting thing about hate out of the real world. Here in Germany there is a small village which is mostly populated by people that we would very well consider "Nazi". One time though, a journalist with a partial Indian heritage lived there for half a year, just to get to know the people there. And he got close with whom could be called the "village leader".
That man said when asked, why he is so nice to him (the journalist), that he cannot hate a man he knows.
Though the sentence seems small, this is an absolutely important truth about humans.
The germans are spiritual dead, and your example just is the proof that the Germans will go extinct within 300 years. Soft weaklings never survive.
As we Germans are not a species of our own, like every nationality, it's hard to go extinct. Unless humanity as a whole goes extinct.
If speak of culture: Well, the constant feature of culture is change. There hasn't been a culture that doesn't change with each generation, therefor with every generation gone, the culture of that generation is, so to say, gone as well.
But that's nothing to worry about, because it's cultural evolution and normal.
Nations are just lines drawn in the sand. They exist only because we say they exist. Or in other words: Nations aren't real, they were our invisible friend for centuries. And yet it may be about time they get removed.
I know, I know, now you will show your pride and stuff.
And it wouldn't make your statement any less sad and small. If you define yourself by not being a soft weakling, than that's not much at all.
Cooking. Making your own food is something to be proud of. You should try it and get creative. Is also a nice hobby. It seems you are in dire need of a good one.
Ygritte and Jon's dialog about who were first in the Northern land remind me Palestine/Israel conflict, probably because of the "Wall".
I'm the only one who read it that way ?
@Mr. Terrorist Have you ever seen a Palestinian?they're pretty white too
@@nicanornunez9787 This is smth I love with GoT, you can make parallel with both historical events and current events !
@Mr. Terrorist No, Jews are still Semites - it's just that a large number of them have decent amounts of European admixture.
Due to being made a diaspora people, they did marry Europeans when necessary - I believe that when there weren't Jewish suitors available, a European man was arranged because Jewishness is recognized through the matrilineal line, and in the later secular years, people would marry outside their religion.
Jews are a very genetically diverse people, yet they are an ethno-religious group, so in terms of racially classifying them, we have to do so according to their commonality, which has been understood to be Semitism.
[edit] it's possible that they are more comparable to Armenians, Turkmen, Turks, etc, as it could well be that they simply occupied the area that the other Semites lived but didn't stem from the same stock, and they do resemble the Turkic/Eurasian peoples, so perhaps their 'Semitism' stems more from their legends, mythologies, religion, etc
@Mr. Terrorist I am inclined to agree that, at least as far as genetics, ethnicity, race, etc are concerned, it's ridiculous to think they belong there more than the Palestinians (I happen to think their "legal" claims to the land, and the supposed "legality" of their establishing their State, is bunk also, though the sad truth is, they aren't going to listen to anyone else; they have decided it's theirs, based largely on a historical precedent that is nonsense)
And that sounds very likely that many of them do in fact have less semitic genes semitic ones, this is likely true. I guess we should just consider them their own thing, because they are not Europeans, but it does seem that semitic isn't quite accurate either, at least outside of the historical-culture sphere. Turkic-EurAsian-Semites, if we have to use other categories to define them, but I think )ews will do.
Theres a difference between a warrior and a soldier
Also, it's weird that Craster wasn't murdered in his sleep if his daughter-wives hated him so much.
Ew, But then they wouldn't have gifts for the gods...
Thank the Gods(in my Robert Baratheon voice) for 'The Take'
Words can’t express how much I love you guys. This is by far my favorite channel.
If you take requests: I’d love to see your takes on LOST
I appreciate these analysis videos so much. There are so many things that you've helped me to understand about my favourite shows and films, or appreciate others more by providing a deeper understanding. This also helps spark more nuanced conversations with my friends about entertainment overall. Thanks for everything you do! 🍻
I love this narrator's voice and the understanding it brings
This is interesting. The Free Folk remind me of Native Americans. They suffered from invasion and colonization. The story reminds me of Pocahontas, especially the two Disney movies. Ygrette is like the Pocahontas from the first movie. She guides Jon Snow, and helps him learn free folk ways. They fall in love, and it is so romantic. I liked that Jon Snow is a lot like John Smith. He goes to the place where the natives live. He was a colonialist at first. Then he learns the ways of the natives, and he becomes attached. Even the names of the two characters are similar. It that a coincidence? The colonialists make themselves out to be the superior ones. Yet they have a weakness of not understanding the natives. A good way to insult them is to claim that they are ignorant or stupid. Pocahontas has a wonderful song to help teach her people's ways to John Smith. It is called "Colors of the Wind". At the beginning of the song Pocahontas sings "How can there be so much that you [John Smith] don't know? You don't know." That is a lot like Ygrette saying "You know nothing Jon Snow." Unfortunately Ygrette dies in a battle between Night Watch and Free Folk. Gilly is like a second Pocahontas. She has a nice romance with Sam. Later on in the series, Sam takes Gilly to his house in the south. Gilly learns about the customs. This is a lot like how in the sequal, Pocahontas goes to England and learns the customs. She is taken by another guy, named John Rolf. Gilly even wears a dress, like Pocahontas. I think the freedom of Free Folk apply to clothing. The clothing is modest and thick to help protect the body from the cold northern weather. Otherwise it is pretty loose. I think the main reason why Ygrette doesn't faint is that her clothes are loose enough to accommodate her breathing. It is important to learn from history and know from different perspectives. When I learn more about American history, I learn that the whites were atrocious to the Native Americans. Native Americans tend to be stereotyped as bad savages. However from another perspective, it is the white people, who are the bad guys. They are the ones that committed invasion, genocide and other atrocities. The stories of Pocahontas, Columbus and Thanksgiving seem really nice. However they are sugarcoated, and the real versions are far more grim. Martin is good at reflecting the grim reality of history. This is shown by the Night's Watch's horendos treament of the Free Folk. There are some nasty events. The Night's Watch had a battle against Free Folk. Ygrette dies, and that is tragic. It also killed Mance Rader, the leader of Free Folk. Jon makes the death quicker for him in a show of mercy. The Night's Watch give him a hard time about it. Jon helped the Free Folk across the border so they won't turn into wights. Then the Night's Watch kill him. To a lesser extent, Sam's father said some really racist things to Gilly. I think the Free Folk are more than what they appear. Their value of freedom puts them ahead of thier time. THey are one of the few people in Westeros that have something resembling a democracy. At the end of the series. Bran becomes king as a result of a vote. He is the one that knows history better than anyone else. This really reflects the values of the free folk. It may be sad that Jon got exiled from the seven kingdoms. However it is nice, because he gets to stay with his Free Folk buddies. I hope he can find another Free Folk girlfriend, like Ygrette.
Has to be one of the best lines in the show: "Is that a palace?!"..."That's a windmill".
Their (real) chemistry was so beautiful to watch 🌻
These videos are fantastic, and the channel is superb! Keep em coming :)
6:17 This is one of my favorite all time quotes. I even used it for an essay on free will and bodily autonomy (with appropriate citations ofc).
Yo I have to stop watching vids about GoT keeping getting ads for the bum as GoT mobile game
hey you guys listened to our suggestions awesome!!! I guess your huge fans of the show since yall keep churning out these videos
Best GOT video i've seen in a long time.
Thanks for this.
The Free Folk are dope
I love this channel so much. Always insightful.
*“Native armies were indispensable for Hernán Cortés to subdue the Aztec Empire and for Francisco Pizarro to topple the Inka.* As David Cahill points out in Advanced Andeans and Backward Europeans (2010) there could be no empire without these collaborations and the pre-existing mechanisms these empires had established:
The arrival of the Spanish interlopers suddenly made independence from imperial rule a practical possibility. Accordingly, it was not a small band of gallant conquistadors who conquered the Incas and Aztecs, but an alliance consisting of a core of militarily trained Spaniards together with breakaway, populous states that sought independence from tyrannical overlords. . . .
Diamond overlooks entirely not only the crucial support from *non-Incan native allies,* but also the overwhelming degree to which any government, Andean or Spanish, depended on a functioning tier of local, regional, and interregional ruling cadres. (Cahill 2010:215,224)”

Celina K 👍🏾
Content Corrector Immediately after they attacked the Aztecs they decided to engage in the genocidal enslavement, exploitation, ethnocide, rape, humiliation, abuse, displacement, and murder of the same people they allied with - and that was something they planned to do from the start. 500 years later _they haven’t stopped yet._ What’s the excuse for that? Enough with deflections.
And it’s hard to believe they would give Cortez the skin of a young girl as a “present.” It’s one of the most ridiculous lies I’ve ever heard. And I’m going to break it down so ppl with sense don’t try this particular lie again. 🙄 The way human spirituality has worked from time immemorial is that you offer a sacrifice or “present” to GOD so God will intercede on your behalf. Even the basis of Christianity is Jesus sacrificing _his bodily flesh and life_ to God so that God would intercede on behalf of his “true” believers. Why would the Aztec belief system be any different?
The Aztecs did not think white Europeans were gods. *They HAD a god - one who gave them an advanced society & cities like Tenochtitlan. Wtf were a few hundred white European stragglers going to do for them? Why would they EVER offer them a human sacrifice?* They just didn’t take the interlopers seriously & THAT was their _actual_ mistake with white Europeans - it wasn’t offering them human sacrifices. *Many Spaniards/white Europeans were inveterate, pompous liars who would come up with any excuse or lie to justify their **_own_** atrocities...and they’re clearly still at it today.* Please stop repeating that absurd fake story. Goodbye.
Your videos are by far the best analysis videos for Game of Thrones. Please do a House Clegane video.
Just became a patron! You guys have been producing incredible, insightful and brilliant content (with awesome aesthetics) and I really hope you will continue to grow and get more recognition for your original and creative visual analyses and unique interpretations :) Thanks for making me appreciate my favorite tv shows and movies on deeper levels and in new ways!

“The Thenns hate the Hornfoots. The Hornfoots hate the Ice River Clans. Everyone hates the Cave People.”
Man I feel bad for the Cave People. They are just doing gods know what with gods know who, or what.
This is probably the best channel for GOT-related content - deep and insightful!
So many parallels between our history/society today as a whole in this video. This was a great watch and very well written.
8:57 - 9:11 it's misleading of you to not include the rest of that line 'girls see a lot more blood than boys' (referring to periods), especially because you immediately go on to dismiss the women of Westeros specifically because they're "feminine" vs Ygritte being 'strong'; that's antithetical to what she actually said
I'm aware the rest of the quote is included later, but giving quotes in their entirety *matters*, and when you don't you are engaging in verbal slight of hand- you can't just chop up quotes to suit your narrative
Do an analysis on LOST,it has a lot of material
I will say that on the point of Wildlings being driven off by people with superior technology and all of the land South being theirs doesn't make a lot of sense when said to someone like Jon or any Northman. The Northmen are the descendants of the First Men just like the Wildlings and it's only the kingdoms South of the Neck that belong to mostly Andal invaders who came after so they have no more claim to anything by being there first than anyone born in the North.
Yep, they were pretty simmilar at the beggining and their culture stared drifting apart, becouse they were separated by the wall. Wall is reason of differences, not result.
I LOVE these videos!!
This is why Dany could never be queen, she aims to tear down Westeros's customs and wants to liberate the people yet she has no clue how to do that because she has never experienced liberation like Jon has with the Free Folk. Every place she conquers she rules like the rest of Westeroes because that's all that her advisers know as well. Targaryens are a beautiful and magical house but they are also what made Westeroes the way it is now. She says not to judge her based on blood, but her only claim to the throne IS her blood. Jon regardless of his blood should be king in the books because he understands the world differently than most.
I like that the videos are longer. I get to enjoy your in depth analysis more.
I'm so curious how the people of Westeros that are left after the next Long Night will deal with cultures like The Free Folk and The Dothraki. Both are cultures with completely different opinions on power, ownership and pretty much everything else.
@bob morane Before you know it they'll be like make Westeros great again and rebuild that wall. With the Dothraki and Free Folk on the other side of course.
On a more serious note I think so many will be die it wont matter the few Dothraki left will probably stay loyal to Danny if she doesn't die (so in a way accepting Westeros law because she will ask them to)and I can see the few Free Folk that remain just accepting Westeros law after a time.(Probably growing to like the nice weather and other things they can't get from north of The Wall.)
been waiting for that one thank you
Thank you so much for the GOT, videos girls, you are amazing!!!
Please do a video on the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Mean Girls
ive been waiting for this.
So cool! I learned so much interesting wildling history!
great video, thanks!
been waiting for this one! Free folk, keepers of the North... the Real North.
As always instantly start your video when the notification comes.
Good video. Well edited, interesting insights.
Great video! Need more!
Another great video especially the lessons to learn. Be great to get one about the unsullied. Especially as I can't see Grey Worm making it past episode 3.
All Europeans have ancestors just like the “Natives”. They were tribal. They hunted and gathered. They fought each other and were conquered by the Romans, who had better weapons and armor and a disciplined army. The enslaved us and stole our lands and raped our women. Our warriors fought as individuals with no armor and mine were naked and painted blue. We are all descended from natives. The ones in the US were just the last to go.
H. Clif Gregory good thing us irish were not conquered by them
This is so beautifully made 💖
I am so desperate for the Horn of Winter to come into play!
Great analysis!!
First hand experience of understanding the free folk involved a bit of tongue too 💀👀
The more I recall Ygritte the more I feel how much of a source inspiration she might have been for Aloy ( *Horizon Zero Dawn* ).
That video was really good, Well done.
5:00 talks about mance being a man of integrity then shows where he traded his people for his pride
I love your analyzes! I hope you tackle Melisandre!
Best GoT reviews channel on YT
Westeros are most likely Great Britain, which make the wildlings the highlanders and the wall the Hadrians.
Best series on TH-cam. Hands down.
Styr was awesome, wish he had more screentime. Never seen anyone as intimidating.
You should do the common people of Westeros !!!
T Adelana and the idea of how songs and plays are just as powerful for the people and the narratives they tell and are told
Your videos ( both voice and content) pleasantly Distinct from others ......pieskos!!! 🤗
Is it just me that finds it crazy that the free folk speak perfect English after so many years of isolation from the southerners?
Yea it's just you...but idiots are everywhere and in abundance so you're not alone.
I also wonder why Bravos and Pentos speak the commun tongue instead of valyrian
@@aghilesargradj1863 Umm. They don't... Kinda...
As said free folk had many languages but common tongue is that.... Common and they were constantly invading each other so they kinda needed to keep it in a way. Besides, as shown in the shown they don't know words. Eg Yiggrid and Jons talj near wind mill or Tormund and The Hound when behind the wall ( C+ck, I like it :DD..... I bet you do)
As for The Essosy, many cities do speak Valirian, mainly Lower Valirian (descendents if slaves) but as it is with the Free cities, they were all trade cities and thus common tongue was a huge training advantage.
Besides, Andals came from Essos to Westeros and are now the dominant ethnicity in Westeros. Therefore it is likely that Common Tongue was actually brought to Westeros from Essos, from the northen/western parts where many of the trade cities are.
@@tomasvrabec1845 so the game of thrones world is already a globalised world where the andal language is dominant
@@TheMarleyDavidson It's kind of rude that you're calling me an idiot for making a completely valid point.
For example, just look at the United States. In the same country, people have many and very different ways of talking. Sometimes the language barrier isn't the language itself but the accents and the way people have of changing words and expressions through time. Can you really tell me that it's impossible that disorganized tribes with no books or schools to teach the young changed the language? Come on.
Damn watching this description of Ygritte, is the same description of his mother lyanna stark.
