You completely fail to acknowledge the fact that by watching his men burn Jaime's worst fear has come to life. He is witnessing Aerys' vengeance: "He meant to burn with the rest of us and rise again, reborn as a dragon to turn his enemies to ash". He didn't charge at Dany out of blind loyalty. He charged at Dany for the same noble reason he slew Aerys.
he killed Aerys in the name of his family; at the time the greater good was the least of his concerns. he kill her (Cersei) for the greater good though but king slaying wasn't that. he definitely charged Dany in the name of his queen (going to show how Cersie would be his undoing as Olenna stated she would)
I don't think Jaime was doing it for Cersei, in face, I don't think Cersei came into it at all. Knowing what I do of flashbacks from PTSD, I believe that when Jaime saw his men burning he basically "froze" to an extent and by that I mean he didn't entirely freeze as he could still fight and did show courage by staying with his men, something many officers would never do. However, I think it brought him back to the Mad King and his order to burn everyone and how Jaime prevented so many from dying even though he was branded possibly unfairly as the "King Slayer." It seems that at least on the show, Tyrion and Brienne are the only ones who know why he did that.
If you remember, as the Dothraki hoard was approaching then you hear the dragon, you see this "holy shit" look in his eyes and then you see Drogon. I believe that brought Jaime back to the Mad King and in that moment instead seeing Daenerys he saw the Mad King or was reminded of that time which is why I think he charged at her the way he did. He was in some sort of flashback where he believed that he would be saving a lot of lives by killing her too as she is the daughter of the Mad King.
I also think that he did listen to Lady Olenna about Cersei and I think there will be a final straw for him with her.
Shannon Reynolds well said. I agree completely. I'm interested to see how he takes Olenna's words and how his relationship will play out with Cersei in the end.

Jaime is one super fucking complicated and fucked up hero, but damn do I love him. It would be a pretty emotional scene to me when/if he dies.
Byran Walker I have loved him since "By what right".
I loved him and become my favourite character since he met Jon Snow for the first time. He was looking glorious.
Byran Walker
I love Jaime, too. 😍😍😍😍
More like ANTI-Hero which is why I love him, unlike the super Honorable Starks, his complexity is definitely the greatest part of him.
Oğuz That he was
Season 8
D&D: “We kind of forgot about Jamie’s character development”
You are a moron if you think character development only means turning into some sort of pure holy being with a shining armour.
It pissed me off so much
subhojit mitra
You’re right, but that’s what Jaimes development was. He went from being viewed as the most dishonourable knight in the seven kingdoms, then slowly becomes a better person, abandoning the life he used to lead, losing leeches like Cersei, and then, he didn’t. In the show at least.
@@NamelessSekiro you're a moron if you think character development is a bad character doing 2 good things, and then do another 20 bad things
I don't really see how Jaime's darker or nobler side could allow him to sit back and let Cersei die.
I think he charged into dragons mouth because all that mad kings burn them all scene came screaming back to him but not because his love for cersei. he saw men burning infront of his eyes and thought he could put an end by Killing Dany. just my opinion.
He better charge at his sister first. The guy was coming back from a place where he had slaughtered so many people in order to provide gold for his mad sister, yet people admire his moralities. He's as evil as Cersei. They're one soul in two bodies as Cersei once said.
Keivan Farzanehkari you saw the video right? He understands what his sister has become and his character hasn't just reached to break-even point. Hopefully by the end of this season he will turn against his sister. And also men fighting with men is one thing and men fighting with dragon is another. It's like getting a fighter plane to the medieval war.
That's what I think also -good point. Jaime was the closest witness to all burnings by the mad king, and he ended up encouraging the rest of the King's Guard to "go away inside" as a way to cope with what they saw. when you have to make such a choice at that age, it will haunt you forever :/
I think a healthy mix of both rly
*"The 2 Mad Queens"*
didn't see Jaime's attempt to kill Dany as a stupid thing done for love. Rather, he saw all the human life loss caused by her fire, so he tried to redo what he did to her father.
@@Sameer_Hussain_007 This comment didn't age well, lol. 😂 Daenerys is worse than Cersei.
@@FlowerTrollSan You said it ! @Sameer Hussain Yep... Danny is the one who ended up burning Kingslanding
@@aniaamz3602 considering how trash these writers are, everyone is forgiven for being "wrong".
I don't believe Jaime charged at dany to try and 'win the war' for cersei as stated in the video. For him, he doesn't know dany as we do he has heard the stories of her burning and crucifying people in essos and her similarities to her father, for whom Jaime sacrificed his honour and respect in order to kill and protect kings landing. He saw his men burning and in that moment for him it was proven that dany was similar to her father, and in a way mirroring what he tried to stop. I doubt cersei even crossed his mind in that moment, this was for him and what he believed was the good of the realm. It was worth dying for because he wouldn't have been able to live with himself had he not tried
Well said! Fans of this show sometimes forget to see through a character's eyes, especially ones that they hate or dislike, and take things from THEIR point of view. Rarely is there ever Black and White in Game of Thrones, which is why its sooo goood.
Well like you said... Jamie doesn't see and know like the us the viewer does. But if you take into account all of what we can see and know, it almost certain that Jaime did charge at Drogo for all of those reason and the reasons you mentioned. It was at that moment that he realized he can end the war which in itself indirectly implies that he can help Cersei win the war. He can save thousands of life from the same fate that the supposedly mad lady in front of him who is burning his troops alive. He is willing to forsake his honor and throw his life away to end the destruction and possible threat. He did for it for the innocent lives. He did it for Cersei. His name. Himself. and even for Dany as well you can said. In Jamie's mind this is what has to be done even if no one agrees or can understand him.
Maddie Carberry I completely agree. I don't think he had the chance to even think about Cersei, he was in battle. And did what any courageous soldiers would do. In the case of Jaime himself, he's always been very reckless, he does things in the spur of the moment. When his men were dying I could just imagine him thinking "Goddamn Targaryens!"
The book is written from a point of view of each character. I think the reason why George wrote it that way was to show situations like these where a character who we see as good, can be seen as a villain from another person's eyes. Jaime sees Dany as a villain. And he has every right to. We all see Lex Luther as the villain and Superman as the hero. But that's probably because we are always watching from the point of view of Superman.
MatPat has scientifically proven that Daenarys is literally 3/4, 3 FUCKING 4 her father, literally her dad. Exact same make up.
his character development is probably the best in the show!!!!!
Objectively it is.
The Un Und Unly its much better in the books though. In the show he's just Cersei's fuck toy. In the books he actually does have honor
"iTs mUCh beTtEr iN thE boOKs"
Fuck books
Theon's too
Jaime is my favourite character in the books and in show. in the books especially his character development is incredible and hes one of, if not the, most complex character. Nikolaj plays him so well.
Jaime is one of the best characters on GoT.
Nope, he is literally _the_ best written & acted character.
Don’t forget, he is the bastard who tryed to kill the stark boy.
Best is an interesting word. I would say he's one of the most adaptive characters.
I think his evil and reckless personality emerged because of consecutive dissapointments that he had (he joined the Kingsguard mostly because he wanted to be close to Cersei, which he couldn't, and then he had to serve and protect the most hideous king of Westeros' history). There's an interesting line in the books in which he states that he wanted to be like Arthur Dayne, but somehow became the Smiling Knight.
I feel his heartless act of trying to kill Bran in season 1 only shows how much he's grown as a character.
Love will end up killing him in the end
Ye, love for others than Cersei
"Love is the death of duty". -Maester Aemon
Look at him now
"...Love is poison. A sweet poison, yes, but it will kill you all the same."
-Cersei (ASOIAF)
it did.
I think a lot fo people are forgetting what Jaime actually went through during his early days in the King's Guard. He stood by King Aerys' side all the time, as a hostage to keep Tywin at bay. Therefor, he was the closest witness to all the mad king's burnings. He encouraged the rest of the in the King's Guard to "go away inside" as a way to cope with what they saw every day. Jaime was 15 years old, and having to make such a choice at such a young age, witnessing all that... it will haunt you forever. I think that was why he looked so spooked and desperate during the battle against Daenerys, where he saw his men burn alive, and the only way he could stop it, was to charge against Daenerys and her dragon. In my opinion, Jaime is definitely the best and most well written character in GoT -So complex and interesting to follow :)
Lady Olenna said: "You love her. You really do love her… you poor fool. She’ll be the end of you.”
You could take this omen literal, meaning She will be the death of Jaime, or, a metaphorical/spiritual end to him and subsequent "rebirth".
Shed what makes you sink and drown in darkness, throw off the weight of the Lion (armor) ;unhand the golden burden.
Rise from the smoke and salt (the body of water that he fell into is saltwater) as a new man.
Jaime will kill Cerci. Small details matter, like how Jaime is a whole minute younger then his twin sister.
How in episode 1 of Season 7 an interaction between Jaime and Cerci takes place on top of the freshly painted floor map. Cerci stands on King's landing which is located in the area called the throat, Jaime stands to the right of her in the Riverlands, on the region called The Fingers.
There were many veiled threats/warnings from Tyrion to Cerci about chocking and tasting ash; Maggy the Frog said "And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you."
Not to mention that Jaime is Azor Ahai
In High Valyrian vocabulary
Āeksio ondos - Hand of gold
Āeksio Oño - Lord of Light
Also Jaime was "The Hand of the King". King could be easy exchanged for Lord, but, this would be all metaphor and hidden double meaning.
The story of Lightbringer also parallels with the evolution of Jaime's character throughout the seasons.
Azor Ahai forged his sword and tempered it in water but the sword shattered, Jaime broke down in the bath house when traveling with Breanne, as the video stated this changed him.
The sword was forged again but this time was tempered by stabbing it into the heart of a lion. Jaime released Tyrion, this action caused the death of Tywin which was known by the titles like The OLD Lion, or The Lion of Lannister.
Finally the sword was Created a third time, and with heavy heart Azor Ahai Plunged the sword into the chest of his wife tempering the sword, imbuing it with her essence, bringing forth Lightbringer.
The sword, Lightbringer isn't a literal sword, It's allegorical/symbolism for Jaime Lannister. In the Middle Ages, the sword was often used as a symbol of the word of God or in this case, The Hand of God.
Justin Tyme thats reaching man. Dany is Azor ahai.
Swords = dragons
Dany has 3
1st sword broke in water
1st dragon died in water.
2nd and 3rd correlation did not occur yet so im not going to make a theory. going to
Justin Tyme *cersei
maybe maybe not it may be jon too
The neck*
sword was Created a third time, and with heavy heart Azor Ahai Plunged the sword into the chest of his wife" he is not married
Are we watching the same show?
He's not charging Dany because of his love for Cersei. He's charging her because he hopes to end the war.
Winter is coming and no 'kingdom' can afford war at this time.
You completely fail to acknowledge the fact that by watching his men burn Jaime's worst fear has come to life. He is witnessing Aerys' vengeance: "He meant to burn with the rest of us and rise again, reborn as a dragon to turn his enemies to ash". He didn't charge at Dany out of blind loyalty. He charged at Dany for the same noble reasons he slew Aerys.
I have a real emotional attachment to Jaime. Despite everything he's done ... There's just something about him ..
His beauty.
Not only his beauty
I love how you turned out to be right about the foreshadowing of his death.
Jaime didn't just charge Dany for Cersei... He attacked Dany to end the bloodshed. To keep innocent people safe. His chivalry does not come from Cersei it comes from Brienne... remember Riverrun? Besides that, he was watching his worst nightmare come alive in a dragon burning men to death. Forgetting how big of a role Aerys actually has had in Jaime's life is foolish. To Jaime this battle just seems like Dany is her father all over again. In his eyes he'd rather dance with the devil he knows (Cersei) than the devil that has 3 fire breathing dragons and reminds him of the Mad King.
I agree. I like the video's interpretation, and it may be partly true, but I think Jaime's charge was in large part because of the witnessing of the thousands of soldiers being burnt alive, somewhat perhaps reminiscent of the Mad King, Dany's father.
Yes, he cares so much about the innocents. Is that why he attacked Highgarden, slaughtered the soldiers there, and took the food and gold of the people of the Reach for his evil sister whom he deeply loves? By the way, killing people on the battlefield, the thing Dany did, doesn't make people devil, but killing innocent people and a group of religious fanatics who have been brought to power by you (Cersei) and then supporting such actions blindly (Jaime) makes people devil.
Keivan Farzanehkari bloody hell, how obtuse are you people?! They are in a goddamn war. No it doesn't excuse anything he did to the Tyrell's but he's goddamn trying to do the right thing. Do you honestly think a man that doesn't care would ask Dickon how he truthfully felt about the battle? I can tell you two handed Jaime wouldn't have cared but one handed Jaime asked and understood Dickon's feelings or can't you read an actors performance? Your very readily forgetting the wonderful send off Jaime gave to Olenna as well- not taking her head off as I've herd many people say that would have if they were in Jaime's position (for her part in killing *jaime's son* not that Joff wasn't a little shit).
Alrighty, perhaps you're just not looking at things with a wide enough view, I do apologise for being hostile but I keep getting the same easy to debunk debate thrown at me and frankly it's irritating.
In case your curious, I don't think Dany is a bad person. She's made plenty of mistakes but she can be redeemed as well as anyone can.
I don't like defending Cersei and I hate that the show writers have forced me into a place where I have to but Cersei didn't really have a choice. She was going to likely be killed or loose all of her power if she hadn't destroyed the faith. I'm pissed that she did it and even more irritated that Jaime didn't kill her for it but I am also not entirely angry with show Jaime. He's really trying his best and in the first episode it was easy to see he didn't enjoy the person Cersei was now. His simple line of telling Cersei no before they banged says a lot more then people that haven't read the books could comprehend.
Over all I am also irritated the Jaime hasn't left Cersei yet seeing as he already has in the books but I think he'll get their eventually. He really is trying to to hurt as many people. If you can't see his obvious shift in character after Riverrun you are blind. And finally, sorry, thought this was on a different comment I made. I wouldn't have been as aggressive with this one but now that I've written it I'm not going back.... have a good day, mate. Sorry again.
The devil bit is a phrase... it might be American. Dance with the devil you know or dance with the devil you don't. It means to pick the better of two bad situations.
Keivan Farzanehkari Also! Jaime was defending innocence by bring the waring to an end by destroying the leader right away. Just as Jon had said he would fight Ramsey one on one to protect their men, Jaime was going to try to fight Dany one on one but you know... he was going up against a fucking dragon. (Sorry I just noticed what your main point was... in a bit dense sometimes).
Can you do somehing about Cersei's character development as well?
Andrei Ward she's a stupid bitch then a crazy bitch
Jaime already did her...
TimRT Howard Every series need a villain right.You are suppose to hate her
There's a really great Alt Shift X video all about her and how she might meet her end. I highly recommend it.
Andrei Ward Sure! Can you tell me when she has any developments?
I am astonished at how ON POINT your analysis turned out to be. Not surprised as such because everything you do is always absolutely wonderful. But the accuracy of your prediction regarding his end is JAW DROPPING. I could NOT make sense of it until I saw this video, and now I'm glad I did. I can make peace with it. I guess, in the end, he embraced both versions of himself. His sister (whom he embraced also literally, as it turns out :p) and his humanity. He might have disguised it under arrogance and poise in order to protect himself and his relationship with Cersei against the rest of the world, but everything that he ever did, he did for love. His return to her was pointless, reckless, and irrational. In other words, he was a human being. Sometimes, we just do stuff that doesn't make sense. And love, however twisted, is often a key motivator. Jaime loved more than anyone else I have ever known in a fictional story. Beyond reason, hope, sanity. Olenna was right. He was a fool.
And of course, he would go back to her....
I guess his appeal to so many people (myself included) resides in the fact that he was able to see the beauty hidden behind monstrosity. Inwards (Cersei, he always saw and admired her unconditional devotion to her family) and outwards (Tyrion and Brienne). I cannot help but roll my eyes at the way his final episode was written. And, much like Daenerys' seemingly inescapable fate, the lack of depth and inconsistencies in the dialogues and the rushed pace of it all made his final decision unbearable to me. But now, I finally get it. That's a relief because I could not fathom how this show could have messed everything up so irrevocably and so quickly. The harsh truth is, it didn't. It was executed poorly (SOOOOO POOOORLY), but yeah. It was always there, and it makes sense. Damn it. What a sad, depressing, logical ending.
Now, considering that the show did distance itself from the books, I can only hope that Book!Jaime has a brighter, more optimistic future ahead of him.
Not gonna hold my breath though...
Yes!!! Finally someone gets it!! Almost all of Jaime's impulsive decisions included his family (pushing Bran out of the window, killing his own cousin, releasing Tyrion, going to Dorne to get Myrcella back, etc)
The fact that no one seems to understand something so blatantly stater is crazy.
Jaime's fate may change in the books, but I saw his television counterparts fate coming a long time ago.
This character looks like a puppet in the show for most of the time, it seems to me that he is being pushed around in his family all the time, yet his devotion is unquestionable. He is always struggling between his family and himself, the conflict can be big.I think Jamie is the most real character in the show, he is like a mirror, reflecting our real life.
He is even more deep and interesting in the books because a big chunk of his character development consists of him ruminating on his past and pondering over his life choices. These parts are among the best in the books in my opinion. I dunno, it's just so cool to see Jaime recollecting the fight between the person he was looking up to, ser Arthur Dayne, and a famous outlaw the Smiling Knight, and realizing that while at the time he was trying to become Arthur Dayne, at some point he bacame the Smiling Knight instead.
You don't get that in the show. Hell, in the show they made Arthur Dayne look like a fool instead of a legendary hero. Dual wielding swords is so fucking ridiculous. Apparently they didn't have the space in the script to make a proper buildup for him and his legendary sword Dawn, and I get it, but man did they ruin this potentially great scene by using this absurd fantasy trope. Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked because of my hurt feelings of an Arthur Dayne fan. As much as you can be a fan of a character from a book that isn't even alive during the events of that book that is.
Nikita Paklin i have read the books but i loved the.....tower of joy fight scene.....for non book readers , it was an awesome scene and quite clearly establishes as to why he is considered the greatest swordsmen ever........
Its pronounced Jaimie - Fokin - Lannister
Jamie fookin Lannister
I am in love with all your GoT related vids. Thank you :).
My favourite character ! Excellent video guys, a really good sum up of his evolution !
I don't think Jamie charged Drogon for Cersei. I think he charged because he couldn't stop hearing the Mad King's voice. "Burn them all." To stop Aerys' will from being fulfilled was more valuable to him than his own life in that moment. He knew he wasn't going to get away from Drogon even if he did kill Dany.
I don't think he charged the dragon only for Cersei, I think he did it because she was the enemy, the one burning all of his men alive. With his last ounce of courage he saw an opening and took it even if it meant taking his life.
Such a great series of videos!! Please Keep up with themm they are wonderful
This video is awesome. Great job. I love the analysis.
I get why people hate show Jaime I don't like him either. Book Jaime actually stays on his redemption ark and refuses his sister's call but accepts Brienne's call for help. Book Jaime actually ended up being my favorite character which genuinely surprised me as I hated him in the beginning. I wish they kept his same arc in the book I think a lot more people would appreciate his transformation
I disagree with that I see more people who like series Jaime than novel Jaime. Plus I believe the stories are better in the show for Jaime on all fronts.
Black Negan you mean like dorne?
In the show he is whipped. he is just cersei's little toy. how is that better?
He’s still my favorite character. He’s like an addict, constantly battling with his addiction even though he knows where his true salvation lies. Of course, I love him even more now that he has chosen against Cersei
exactly Jaime is like an addict. Sure I wish he would not have stayed as Cersei's bitch for three seasons but he still did cool stuff.
Jamie charging at Drogon was less about his love for Cersei and more about his loathing of the mass destruction one single thing can cause. With the Mad King, it was wildfire. With Dany, it is her dragons. Jamie hates it when innocents have to suffer on mass scale due to one person's arrogance. Sure he excuses Cersei from this but at the same time him charging at Drogon had nothing to do with her. It was a last ditch attempt at saving his people from destruction. It was heroic. Utterly mad, but heroic nonetheless and saying it had something to do with Cersei taints that heroic action.
Brilliant work! Totally missed the reference to Bran's fall but makes a lot of sense.
Please do more videos! I love these!
I think there is one major mistake in this character study. In the battle with Daenerys he doesn't charge at her for Cersei. If you've paid attention you see the terror in Jaime's face during the battle, there terror he feels as he sees his men burning to ashes. For him it's a major flashback to his time with the Mad King who burnt people as well. And while he is on the field with fire and screams all around him, he cannot help but see the madness of the Mad King who commanded him to Burn them all, realized in this battle. So all he tries to do is save the world again from this madness. At that moment he certainly does not think of Cersei.
On a side note, it's interesting to see how often Cersei actually talked about burning cities to the ground and how she burnt down the Great Sept. I'm sure because of something like that he will also put an end to Cersei.
Great video as always! now you have left 300 characters to complete for insight analysis. Yei!
Make more character and family studies. Your videos is so interesting to watch!
i love you guys' got videos! will you guys keep these coming with the new eps? i hope you guys do !
"You poor fool..she will be the end of you"
Well..true
The fact that people like him now shows how great of a character he is and the fact he isn't just good or bad he's both and the fact we all take complex views on him and beside if one out ways the other and that is why I fucking love him
elliot campbell and that americans so easily forget about and justify rape.
This is a very good and thought-invoking analysis , subscribed
Guys, I am living for these Game of Thrones videos! Well done!
Please do videos about the character studies of Tyrion, Cersei, Daenerys, Jon, Sansa, Arya, and Bran.
no
the show runners said it was never meant to be raped. it was just done weirdly.
Ryan Hatcher wow! with that logic I wonder how many times they have "unintentionally" raped someone?
+Antonio Díaz This scene was taken from the books and in the books it was made clear that it was to show how much Cercei controls Jaime with sex and basically that's all they have and to show how different his relationship is with Brienne(it happens just after they return to KL). It's not the character's fault the showrunners ruined the scene, even they admitted it that it sent the wrong message unintentionally.
Dorothea Illy what do you mean? Read my comment again. I know that I've read the books. I meant D&D are idiots. How can you unintentionally portray rape?! I'm not talking about the characters but about D&D (producers, writers and showrunners).
+Antonio Díaz I meant that they wanted to stay true to the books and the message in this scene but they effed up and made Jaime seem like a sick pervert unintentionally and they didn't expect the audience's reaction would be this but tbh I don't know how they couldn't notice this huge mistake. It wasn't clear to me what you meant because of how you worded your comment.
Dorothea Illy Sorry english is not my first language.
I can't wait to see a video essay about about Petyr Baelish character study! You are great! Good job!
Thanks ScreenPrism. This channel is awesome!
Jaime + Bronn, Heroes of Westeros.
Am I the only one who thinks that Bronn is overrated?!
Don't get me wrong I do enjoy him, but it's not like he's one of my favorite characters, not even close.
Whats not to love about Bronn?
Not that there is a lot that I don't like about him, it's more that I only find a bit too few things to love/like.. If you can tell why you guys you think he's that likable you would do me a favor, cause I could be missing something.
Alienshroom He is just a plot advice with annoying one liners... Deus Ex Machina for a bad scipit
He can be charming, he can be brutal, he can be funny, he can be damn useful and... Tyrion likes him. More than enough for me. Oh and he is a hero, put down Drogon in his place!
Very well said!
The way y'all were spot on with your predictions is insane
Great video yet again :D
Jaime has kind of forgotten that he once sacrificed his honor to save king's landing.
He'll never die. He's the prince who was promised!
Wow, that was an unexpectedly great video!
That's pretty spot on. Nothing to add. Kudos to you guys at *The Take by Screenprism!*
We want atonement for Jaime Lannister
To all of you commenting that Jaime is the bad guy:
To *label a complex character like Jaime as 'bad'* just goes to show that you're *missing a big aspect of the show.*
*Good and bad aren't black and white.*
The *so called honorable knights did nothing to stop the Mad King from trying to burn half a million people.* The honorable *Ned Stark judged others* who didn't match his preconceived idea of 'good', *viewed them as inferior* to him on a moral level and showed *no respect to those people,* not even to their faces. *Is that truly, 100% 'good'?*
The oath breaking traitor *Jaime saved thousands of innocents lives* by breaking a sacred oath.
He only *attempted child murder to prevent the execution of his lover and children* and a possible war. *Is that really evil?*
This isn't Harry Potter where the plot is a story about good vs evil. A lot of *GoT characters are different (50, lol) shades of grey* and *seeing their values in life, their own personal definitions of 'good' and 'bad' is the beauty of Game of Thrones.*
Regina Phalange you lost me when you started to talk shit about ned stark
Ned Stark is one of the 'gooder' characters out there but he ain't no saint.
Psychedelian Lol. Agree with you on *Daenerys, highly overrated in my opinion.*
*Not as smart and cunning as Olenna or Margaery, not as badass as Brienne, Arya or Yara, not as much of a strong character development/growth as Sansa.*
Just a *self entitled, self righteous brat with average intelligence who gets away with everything through magic, luck and advisors.* (Seriously even spies and assasins who were hired by her enemies betray their mission because they fall in love with her)
Drogon has more character development that Dany.
Riding into battle on a fucking dragon isn't badass? Also her character development is almost, if not directly, parallel to Sansa's character development.
I've always liked this channel and its disappointing that it doesn't get as much recognition but finally because of huge fan base of GOT and the quality content the channel has been putting out it might get the subscribers and recognition it truly deserves.
Thanks for doing this piece. Jaime is definitely one of my favorite characters
I think Jaime wanted to end the war. Period. Not for Cersei, not for himself, but to spare the slaughter. I mean could you imagine seeing what you perceive as the Mad Kings daughter in the making, burn so many soldiers, use savages who are known to rape, pillage and inslave, and just believing that such a person could bring destruction 100x more than Cersei? I really do believe that he wanted to end the war so such power isn't kept by Daenarys. Just remember that the war started on Daenarys' terms, not Cersei's. Honestly watch this video..th-cam.com/video/HyScog3a-cI/w-d-xo.html&t
Euron is also a little brother...
I love your videos...they have greater depth...please if possible can you make one video on the most intelligent and influential character of the storyline - Littlefinger
Wonderful video for a wonderfully complex and human character.
Interesting discussions below regarding how worthy Jaime is of anyone's 'devotion'. The battle scene in Ep. 4 worked so well because there was genuine tension of the fight between characters that we care about. There was no "good" or "bad" side, it wasn't clear cut, we didn't want to see Jaime, Bronn, or Dany (or Drogon) killed, but it sure looked like it would happen. So good tension and emotion. Well done to script writers.
We like Jaime because, unlike other "monster" characters in the GoT, he has had an intriguing arc. Joffery and Ramsey had NO redeeming arc, but Jaime, although portrayed at first like them, has. So we want to see where that arc goes. It is not yet resolved. It isn't about "he is bad" or "he is good" it is about "he is on a journey" which makes him interesting. More interesting than Dany, as her arc isn't as pronounced or interesting. Sill love her as a character, but she isn't growing in as interesting a way as Jaime.
And that is what GoT is good at. It shows that flawed, broken people can change and grow. Ned was too virtuous from the start. Too one dimensional, so was right to die as his character was a catalyst to events, not the hero of them.
Just a fact : He is the best paid actor of Game of Thrones

These videos are awesome. I wonder if you'll start making videos like these for other movies and shows. Maybe even anime. Id enjoy that.
You guys deserve more views..
Book Jaime and his character arc is much better done and is much more satisfactory. A shame D&D didn't adopt the same arc.
I like the shows Jaime much more than the Books Jaime! :) Opinioooooons
Asfal Tochgrus Why?
crazy7chameleon I know right, such a shame
^biggest she's more important lol (duh). she's 1 of the true main characters (her, Jon, and Tyrion).
Because Jamies love is more tragic in the show compared to the books, according to me! That's why he's still following Cersei, because his feelings are so genuin and seeps through his whole being! I like it :)
If Jamie is Valonqar (little brother) he will kill Cersei, but it will too happen if he is the Azor Ahai (prince who was promised) because Azor Ahai must kill his love to save the world. I personaly think he is both Valonqar and Azor Ahai
Awesome video, you are amazing
Good content, Subbed.
I felt the drowning of him is similar to his fever dream from the books. When the light goes out he will die. In the books his former Kingsguard brothers confront him with the things he did and attack him and Brienne in a dream, the light of his flaming sword goes out and he dies, then he wakes up and decides to save Brienne from Vargo Hoat. The lion in him died in that moment. It's just Jaime from this point, Cersei stop loving him and he doesn't even care when Tywin dies.
Please make a video on house Baratheon
Don't worry, it's on the way!
Yay! House Greyjoy would be a perfect follow up to Baratheon :) Love the videos!
I love these videos!
he didn't try to kill Dany for his sister, Dany reminder him of the mad king (burn them all) when she burned his men alive
I'm pretty sure that one of the main characters may die this season but I sure hope Jamie didn't die by simply drowning. I doubt that highly. I've actually grown to like Jamie. I didn't like him in the first seasons until he finally lost his hand, became humbled and realized some his faults.
Yeah I second that. No way he's axed off. Game of thrones wouldn't kill a major character off by drowning off screen. Pretty lame way to kill off a major character.
MrVolcomclassic They did kill the Blackfish offscreen, but I do agree, they aren't going to kill a character as important as Jaime by drowning in a lake.
Jamie and Cersei will both die together, there's a lot of foreshadowing for this, he will kill her and then die with her somehow , saving KL once again
Well you were halfway right!
Props to Susannah for always doing a great job with narration 👍🏼
Damn amazing video!
The Irony of the Episodes titles Spoils of War getting leaked....just too good.
Defenseless Daenarys? That's a bit subjective don't you think
What a GREAT CHANNEL is this one. Do you have Twitter?
This channel is awesome
Personally, I think he charged Daenerys because of his memories of the mad king and the look on his face as he watches his men being burned alive says he cares. While I'm rooting for Jon and I don't hate Daenerys, I like Jamie as a character. I love stories of tragic villains and fallen heroes.
And I think he will be the death of his sister. If he dies that's fine but, I hope he goes down in style
Not gonna lie, an ending with Jamie killing Cersei would've been more poetic than a bunch of bricks on her head
Nah, jaimie dying in the arms of the woman he loves was more poetic
Good stuff!
I love this! Jaime and the Hound are my favorite characters 🦁🐶
I love your voice :)
Jaime is the hero westeros deserves.
how symbolic and thought-provoking everything on game of thrones is
This Channel is Going to be my Favourite channel in TH-cam❤
Jamie for king, the only commander to stay and fight when the dragons attack. The only man ready to charge into the mouth of a dragon for his soldiers.
Jaime didn't do that for cersei, he didn't that just for the same reason he killed the mad king.
Yall are awesome
props to the writer/s of this review!!!
S8: nope
Jaime Lanister : The Qween Slayer.
I hope for the best.
Jamie's character arc is helping me get through my own
A most hated man became one of the most beloved persons. He was my fav character from the 1st day, even till date he is my most favorite one.
Jaime Lannister is the Itachi Uchiha of Game of Thrones, Naruto's fans will get why.
Well, all of that got thrown out of the fucking window in season 8.
Jaime is going to have some things to answer for when he heads North and sees Bran again. Really interested to see how that plays out.
your game of thrones vids are awesome what color do you think Aegon or jon Targaryen sigil will be
