@@wulfheort8021 you are literally the people on this planet that make it worse, bro I simple said “You know sometimes you forget how perfect this show got at its peak” after watching one the greatest scenes in TV history, the show in general, when it showed its peak, was perfect, is that comment much easier for you to understand?
@@Alex-bi1cl I think you are the one here who has trouble with understanding. You made it look like you are calling this battle a part of the show's peak. I know that someone might mean something different than how what they say comes across and that's why I used the word IF at the very beginning of my sentence. Have you perhaps forgotten what that word means? And no, this show was most definitely not "perfect" at its peak. It had great dialogue and clever writing, but to call it perfect is an exaggeration. And one last thing, this battle was horrible trash. Game of Thrones is set in a medieval setting, that means that medieval tactics and strategies apply and they completely butchered that in the battle. Just some more Hollywood hack and slash chaos. People have dumbed down so much these days that they are fully pleased and awe-taken by some visuals regardless of the logical consistency or accuracy of what is portrayed.
@@wulfheort8021 see what I mean you articulated a whole article just to make your self feel better it wasn’t necessary dude, go find something else to put your energy into because truth be told I lost some just texting you back.
I always wondered why the giant didn't have a weapon. He should have had a club or something. Like the one in Narnia. Swing them around and break their lines. Or maybe chop some trees so he can throw them. One giant could have been very destructive
Man something so interesting to note from this scene, to be forgotten in the pile of worthless human life (So it seems in the film) or rise to the top and achieve survival.
Director Miguel Sapochnik and Kit Harrington did a deep dive on how the trampling scene was a metaphor for the rebirth of Jon. Jon by the time of the battle is a man beaten down by circumstance. His increasingly agitated interactions with the people closest to him is reflective of his inner despondence and self-doubt. This is a man betrayed by his own Brothers. A man who's lost faith.That famous one take of Jon zig zagging through the field dodging arrows and horses is the height of his resignation to fate. That's the point where he's on auto pilot with a singular purpose to kill or die. Probably the best way to remain alive in a pitched battle, when you've already accepted you're as good as dead. But as the crush starts and he gets buried under a mass of humanity, he's finally forced to slow down. There's a shot of his face looking almost blissful, like he's finally at peace with the end. But in this process of letting go he also regains the humanity he had lost after being betrayed. From under that stampede he finds a new desire to live stronger than before, and as he comes up gasping for air, he emerges a man reborn. THIS, is the real Resurrection of Jon Snow. Or as Sapochnick calls it, 'the vaginal birthing shot' lol. It's a parable for the reawakening of The North. The turning point. Jon being raised above the stampede mirrors another similar turning point moment. To S3 finale "Mhysa" where Dany is held aloft the human tide, except the circumstance is turned over its head figuratively and literally. Btw after hearing the slow sad version for so long, that "triumphant reprise" of the Stark theme as they break through the Bolton lines is perfect use of emotive BGM.
@@marcusmeredith8958 Haha thanks lol. I think in big spectacles like this, people usually get too hung up on logistics. I personally am more interested the themes and symbolisms than what the exact range of the crossbow should be and stuff like that.
This scene feels like such a throwback to season 3 finale, where the liberated people raised up Dany forming a circle of raised hands around her. Here Jon rises through the bodies , gasping for air, whilist the camera pans up revealing a similar circular pattern . It feels intended that the scenes share this aesthetic similarity. In a sense both these moments defined Jon and Dany, but the show still makes clear the different kind of obstacles, shaped them to be the leaders they became.
Also how the people of slaves of Slavers bay were Dany’s people and how the Wildlings were Jon’s people. Both didn’t intend to stay but they liberated them after living among them and becoming one of them. Jon became their brother and Danny their mother.
I also like how Dany stood out so much amongst the slaves she had liberated, like a goddess amongst men. But here, Jon easily fades into his crowd. No gods or kings here, just mud, blood, and a lot of dead bodies. No exalted family lines or all powerful dragons to keep you safe.
I also thought of something like that... The other giant (forgot his name) had a bow and some why wun wun went to battle completely unprepared with no weapon or armor...
This is how ground battles SHOULD be portrayed! Not just flashy, incomprehensible, jumbled action. But frustrating and muddy, while keeping the individual story beats and opponents CLEAR. Game of Thrones deserves EVERY award they get! 🏅
@@heisenberg9595 it's definitely one of the greatest whether it is or not The greatest it depends on the person preference for me it is i just ignore season 7 and 8
That single shot battle sequence was F**King amazing! Props to the director and everyone involved, and the entire episode made me inch forward in my seat!
i never forget the smirk on ramsays face when he shot wun wuns face. oh that was a beautiful acting and the battle of the bastards was one of the best scenes in GOT
Of all the game of thrones scenes and deaths (in this case presumed death) the only one that really traumatized me and made me sick to think about was the guy who fell under everyone and was trampled while John was also fighting to get up at 3:57, his fate seems so horrifying
When i saw all of those clips in my feed i panicked because i thought it was about season 8. Well done HBO I didn't have it in my mind and now i am hyped again
Avi Joseph The craftmanship that the producers and staff of GOT and HBO put in it was beyond greatness my friend. Go and watch its behind the scenes. By the way, I respect your opinion pal. Have a great day!
It really reminds me of The Battle of Cannae in 216 B.C. The way Boltons surround John Snow’s army is inspired by the trap Hannibal Barka set for romans. Unfortunately for romans, there was no cavalry to help them as it was decimated prior to encirclement.
Yep been watching for about a week now. Right now: Jon just got named as steward, King Baratheon died, Tyrion was just let free from his accusal of murdering Jon Arryn and attempted murder Of Bran Stark.
Anyone noticed that while the boltons were winning the battle, there were 3 bolton soldiers tired of fighting and not attacking the widlings at 4:26. Such an interesting detail
Had to rewatch this scene again after watching Oversimplified’s Hannibal video on the punic wars coz this is exactly how the Battle of Cannae ended up happening
I hated how they filmed this battle. But one thing I did enjoy about this episode was the brutality, especially when the giant (I forget their names) rips that Bolton guys head off, and when people get slammed by horses, good stuff there lol.
3:25 First time i seen this scene, and how it was a desperate situation, i was pretty sure Jon began to unleash at this moment some sort of Lich power the red priestess let inside him after returning from death. I was certain a few second later, cadavers of his fallenfriends will start to stand up and rush against shields in an absolutly epic gothic music, under the horrified eyes of every living dude around !
What I never understood is why no one fought with Wun Wun. If some men went in while the wall was focused on keeping him back they could more easily break the line. You'd have to focus target, the men coming at you or the giant above.
This was the most insane episode Ive ever watched in a tv show or even a movie, this battle was so real and brutal

After season 5 the show started to prioritize visually appealing spectacles over logic and good writing
If you are referring to this battle as part of the show's peak, then you are living in an upside-down world.

Agreed
He would've cut everything in front of him in half 😂😂
I also thought of something like that... The other giant (forgot his name) had a bow and some why wun wun went to battle completely unprepared with no weapon or armor...
Unnecessary. Just give him a big tree trunk.
at least some kind of armor. like why not give him the weapons of those two giants they killed in season 4?

According to me, "Hardhome" and "Battle of the Bastards" are the Best Episodes in GoT. Anyone else agrees!?
Agree. Red wedding too.
Sadly, the Winds of Winter was the last good episode of GOT
Shamanth Kuskur Spoils of War too!
Spoils of War was one of the worst episodes of GoT. Every second in it was predictable.

Yeah sad for them
Didn't the cavalry get fucked early in the battle
the depiction of one gets stumped in the crowd is amazing
Travis Scott concerts be like
I felt breathless watching this episode and all I thought was "If they brought Jon back to life just to kill him, I'm through with GoT"
This is one of the gems of cinematography, everything was just perfect and right

I think Battle of the Bastards is the best episode in GOT ever
I am from mumbai and we have experienced this everyday when we travel by local train lolz
This show was so amazing. Nothing like it yet.
Here after the travis scott concert
One of the best fight scenes.. Breathtaking 😨
Best televised battle ever
This is how people in Travis Scott's concert died
Live footage from astro world
If i saw a giant pick up a fellow soldier and rip him clean in two i think i'd lose the will to fight
This scene had my brother and I speechless for a good 2 minutes when we watched it years ago.
Best series

Right before Jon gets back up you can hear someone yell out “lord commander!” before he gets helped up. The details bro 💯
Man we will never have another show like this. It didn't hold back or worry about people's reaction. Treated adults like adults.
POV you're at a travis scott concert and you're trying to tell organizers and security that people are dying but none of them are listening.
lmfao
Travis Scott concert sure looks scary.
Watching this while eating my perfectly done Spaghetti Bolognese for lunch
Almost Friday TV brought me here 😂
RIP Lord Ramsay Bolton, Trueborn Son of Lord Roose Bolton who was poisoned by their enemies, Warden of the North, The Last Giantslayer
Choking in the corpses is something that did often happen in medieval times
The Battle of the bastards was INSANE
One of the last great moments of the series. So much potential and possibilities at this point that all just fizzled out by the end.
Imagine if Sansa had arrived with the army of the Vale only to see Jon had not been able to come up and had died by suffocation... 😂
She'd be happy.
Season 8 is coming...
If you've ever been in a mosh pit, you know how good that clean air breath is
The camera-man too was suffering with John snow 😂
The battle would have been so different if the giant had a tree for a cub or something
Travis Scott concert
1:30 “HELP ME!!” *step*
As much as we😅 hate Ramsey .....bro had the perfect utilization of troops...😮
POV ur at a Travis Scott concert
One of the most brilliantly executed battles in cinema history. The look on that bastard Ramsay's face when the knights of the eerie sweep the board.

He was. If only because Sansa became selfish and didn't tell him she got the kinghts of the Vale at her side. All of this would've been avoided
