Bill Murray from The Man Who Knew Too Little Nah, she was horrified because her babies didn't barbecue the entire family. She has those Targaryen standards to uphold!
Arya did not "just" killed the entirety of house Frey, she chopped up and then baked Walder's sons into a pie, then prepared his table, wine, and everything just so Walder would be eating his family while she ceremoniously kills him, according to D&D she has *NOT* crossed the vegeance line yet. O K A Y.
@@goalie1703 In that scene when Hot Pie makes a reappearance for...fanservice I guess? Anyway in that scene Hot Pie asks if she's been making pies herself and she says "a couple." Got one or two solitary "ha"s out of me.

Dragon from Dark Souls - a summary by Plagueofgripes: 1.05 patch save us! GOT: Ugh, I got bad writing up muh ass-hole! HBO: *clinks* *ice* D&D, you betrayed so good heres a Star Wars project! Also, you win awards for writing! D&D: EXCELLENT! Gonna go write some shit, maybe go crazier! Disney: Aight
''Littlefinger is the most dangerous man in Westeros. He would burn everything if he could be the king of the ashes.'' Well, nobody said anything about a woman, did they lmao
One used a crossbow... She used a giant flamethrower to go full SkyNet on a civilian population, after confirmation that even the ones with weapons had accepted to drop 'em and be cool... That's one person alone, not even considering the influence she gave to her troops. Wtf?!
Another point.. I love how last episode people were like: "Well Jon leaving Ghost symbolizes him embracing his Targaryen lineage. It's so poetic." Then this episode there's no mention by Jon of where Rheagal is, what happened to him or a scene being sad over his dragon friend being dead. You know, the pet of the house he's "symbolically turning too."
Kyle Gaudette I’m pretty sure the only lines he had this episode consisted of “I love you” “you’re my queen” “she’s my queen” “no stop” and “I never wanted it”. Beyond stupid.
I asked my mom the other day; "What if someone killed me, resurrected me, and magically compelled me to attack you. You'd be kinda upset, I reckon." Can't even get a reaction shot of Dany realizing that's her "child" flying around breathing blue fire on errything.
So Euron is more excited over “killing” a cripple (which nobody should be able to figure out since Jaime died in a construction accident) than he is over the fact that he’s the first person in over 100 years to kill a dragon?
I just heard that there is some leak or theory that Arya will kill Dany using Jon's face. Imagine if this shit happens. Then it's truly the Arya show. The leaks that I read had Jon do it and Bran end up on the throne. But I just heard this, as well as Sanza getting the throne. Man, I wish this Arya/Sanza thing doesn't come true. I'd rather have boring bland Bran
Is it just me or is dragon fire incredibly inconsistent. Sometimes it insta kills someone, and other times people just stand around like nothing happened
Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of a dragon, breaker of spiders and roaster of children. You know this is another chance to give Tolkien // LOTR some extra credit for being the greatest fantasy story. He understood what D&D don't even know the existence of. The Journey > The Destination. So many plotlines and characters end up in these places in S8 with the flick of a switch. Without showing it. Most of the endings to these characters are fine but the way they get to them ruins the moment. Varys getting killed by Dany is fine. But not like this. Dany going insane is fine. But not like this. Arya being a part of the Night King's death is fine. But not like this. Jaime dying with Cersei is fine. But not like this. Jorah dying defending Dany is fine. But not like this. The Night King dying is fine but not like this and not in Winterfell. Jon riding Rhaegal (for the first time) is fine. BUT. NOT. LIKE. THIS The journey the characters take, the changes to their character, their feelings, their self betterment. All these things were built up so well (for the most part) in S1-S7 but now they don't get payed off. They take a complete 180 and go BOOM didn't expect that did you?! There are so many needed scenes that are just not there. And sadly with all the normies on social media that defend this shit (Yes still!) this is going to happen to more beloved well written stories that rise in popularity and get corrupted over time. I miss the days when good stories weren't influenced by the incendiary twitter mob that spew out in the moment reactions based off a limited view on how stories are constructed and payed off. It's all about the moments for them rather than the momentum as a whole.
Nah, I'd say what Tolkien understood is that Journey = Destination. If you fuck up either, the story will suffer. LOTR nailed both the escalating story (Journey) and ultimate pay off (Destination). Whereas GOT has been floundering since they ran out of books to adapt.
Yeah I even remember people comparing george to tolkien back when the show was in an all time high. My response was, give it a few years, GOT is a trend, it wont age well. Even if GEORGE manage to unfuck what dumb and dumber did to the ending of the show with the new books.
@@onetwo57627 dude stop, lotr was published in 1954, thats almost 65 years. In comparison GOT and all this latest Fantasy series barely reach 20 years. They are babies in comparison. Again is all a trend, same with harry potter. call me in a few years after all this hype dries up for GOT, and tell me it reached the scope and awards LOTR has achieved as a literary work. Spoiler: it wont even scratch the surface.
41:07 "We don't get to see [Davos] during this insane rampage [reacting]." Come on, Mauler, you're being unreasonable with this criticism. Why on Earth would Davos have a strong reaction to seeing women and children burned alive by someone he follows?
all the people of kings landing deserved to be burnt. Filthy evil people who all cheered for Neds head. Disloyal rats all of them. So glad she wasted them. obv i would prefer her to have a better ending. but kings landing people deserved it. They shouldve made Winterfell the Capital of Westeros after that.
@@winterman8248 Also, they had no reason to be loyal to some northern lord who just confessed to commiting high treason. Not that you seem to understand the concept of context, anyhow.
@@sebastianb.3978 And honestly he deserved it. thinking he could somehow get a message to Rob. If it did go through, the entire kingdom would still be in a civil war, just with Lannister as the enemy and not Stark since both Jamie, Cersei and their children would be executed.

See you, you thought about that rationally, that means you messed up. But for real tho, did they elect a deity to office? That would have been clever if they weren't hack writers.
I think Drogon is the dead undead one. When I read the books, each dragon looked very unique in my head. They, at the very fucking least, had different colors. But in the show they all look the same...
@@jjred2986 Drogon: Should I do it? Dany: *DEW IT.* Drogon: Reeeaaaalllllyyyyyy??????? Dany: *D E W I T .* Drogon: Rrrrrrrreeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaallllll - I'm just kidding, I don't care. (fires a nuke from his mouth, King's Landing gets vaporized DBZ style)
-Wow, I guess it will be extremely hard for Dany to beat all those Scorpions after they'd killed Rhaegal so fast. -Actually it's going to be super easy, barely an inconvinience. -Really? -Yes. She'll just fly around burning them, and they will just... not fire at her at all. -Why wouldn't they fire at her? -I don't know! -Well, ok then.
You know... if you swapped those two fleet attack/ballista scenes, it would work: The first one should have been two dragons devastating part of the fleet, with the SECOND being Dany coming in arrogantly and losing one of her dragons because she got careless.
BY FIRE BE PURGED! BURN BABY BURN! DISCO INFERNO! fucking hell this was some disturbing shit. I like the episode, a bit like apocalypto, just never want to sit through something that FULL ON again.
As a non-GOT fan I think what is more shocking than anything is that D&D took TWO years to plan the final season and yet it is ending up being worse than there prior stuff to plenty of fans. I'm lost for words how anyone can do that. Rian Johnson, bad as he was, had a first draft and that should have technically been worse. But even compared to TLJ, GOT is getting dogged on a lot more. It makes me shudder what these guys have in store for SWs.
@chaoszieg doesn't that mean though that the things people liked before are gone/have been replaced with worse things? That still is a sign of decadence in the show
@chaoszieg look, I'm not a fan of game of thrones, but from what I could gather about the story I got the impression that this jaimie guy was distancing himself from his sister, because she tried to kill him or wathever. It turns out eventually that he ended up fucking the blonde lady that played captain phasma in the sequel trilogy, so if all of this had a bit of logic I'd say that this jaimie doesn't care that much about his sister anymore, because now he's fucking someone else. And yet, apparently, he doesn't and he still wants to fuck his sister, so he betrayseveryone to go back with her😓. It's like he took a highway to go somewhere and then at the last second before reaching his destination he literally teleported back to where he started, ruining all the long journey he made until then. Now, I may be super wrong because I only watch funny summaries of game of thrones, but if this is what actually happened I'd be decently pissed. Abother example is the crazy dragon lady: from what I could gather she basically went from someone who punishes her enemies but still tries to help innocents to crazy psychotic genocider in 5 minutes, with her constantly whining before her switch because she was upset that not everyone was instantly bowing to her and accepting to basically be conquered. Also, her switch wasn't apparently caused by the death of the friend she kept on the hook for 8 seasons, or the death of her second precious dragon boy, but by the death of her servant, which I don't actually know if it is earned or not. Or mister "you know nothing guy that resurrected"; the way people described him to me was that he was a guy that didn't care about the constant backstabbing that was happening to get the throne, and instead was only focused on doing the right thing to dave humanity from the ice zombies, but then that threat was defeated without his help and now he basically wanders around like a lost puppy that doesn't know what he's doing and why. Or maybe I know nothing, and the show is still legendary and awesome, and everyone is overeacting😶. I'll still appreciate the beautiful dragon slauthering tens of thousands of innocent civilians though, because humanity is overrated. Dragon boys master race
The show was falling apart since they caught up with the books by season 5. However, lots of people who were disenfranchised at the time, gave season 8 a go precisely because they took a 2 year break ''to get it right''. It was a sign that the criticism was heard. Little did we know. Guess we had our (puts on black sunglasses) expectations subverted... YEAAAAAAAAAAHHH!
King Edward "Longshanks" I, Hammer of the Scots, Lord of Wales and King of England love the name and yeah that to wanna see what other franchises make it on there, Jurassic Park is another one
I'm glad I jumped ship after what they did to Stannis. I knew it was a matter of time before the show became unsalvageable. Also Glenn Beck just called this episode "incredible." Make of that what you will.
He's really rich. But you should escape corporate media. Single person TH-cam channels only. Glenn Beck is worth 2-300 million. He is not a perspective worth hearing.
The first big red flag was brienne running into both sansa and aria in S4 I think......in a country as big as england lmao they were ready to shit on realism and belivability for fanservice thats where you know its gonna be shit
*Dany* I will burn cities to the ground, my enemies will die screaming, and I will take what is mine with fire and blood! *Dany fans* Yas! You go girl! My queen! *Dany* follows through *Dany fans* 😲
I gave up on the ending being any good after they killed the Night King in episode 3, so I just sat back and accepted Dany's ridiculous face-heel turn (even though it was unacceptable) and watched the fireworks.
1:11:30 imagine being Arya and spending weeks off screen, if not over a month, traveling from Winterfell to King's Landing. Then when you finally arrive Sandor Clegane, your one companion on the entire trip, says "you know, revenge isn't the best thing to focus on maybe you should just try to survive" at the last second, and then all of the sudden you think to yourself "you know what, you're right! I guess I'll take the month long journey back to Winterfell and just hang out!"
Bran becoming king could definitely make sense, if properly alluded to and built up. Tbch, it was obvious to me since he first chapter of the book - being his own. It's just not earned (not even as a joke)
@@Charleroi92 I will have to disagree with you here. I will end up getting back to Aragorn's tax policy GRRM talks about. This does not apply to Bran neither in the show or the book. Just being magical is a cheap shortcut to this that GRRM should avoid as per his assertions done until now about what his books stand for. Aragorn is more suitable being king than Bran is in the show and the books. Let's say that GRRM is setting Bran as king in the last 2books but what about the other 5books? Wouldn't be the same thing what the show is doing? Ignoring previous forshadows and hints?
@@ioanaberbece8137 Oh, I definitely agree with you. I was just imagining a possibility of Bran being the only one left after the Long Night in the books and being (if Georgie goes this route) a walking, talking knowledge depository could really help you rule a kingdom wisely. So I see. in theory, why Bran as the king could be a wise choice for the Kingdom. I was just hoping They'd break up the Kingdoms after understanding that one voice cannot govern a large variety of peoples, each with their own distinctive, tribal or local culture and values - meaning the kingdoms should govern themselves again, and Bran could oversee that transition, considering his ambitions - if indeed he has them - are not with an almost exclusively uncomfortable throne.
@@Charleroi92 I see where you're going with but just knowing things doesn't make you automatically good at something. GRRM preached about Aragorn but then he goes with the idea that a guy who magically got transfered the wealth of knowledge in his brain? That seems like a convenient way to skip all that struggle a character has to go through, the personal journey someone has to make him a good ruler. If that is what GRRM is going for then he has a lot of balls to criticise Tolkien's Aragorn. Not even Rowling didn't go so dar as making Harry Potter the guy who ended up ruling the magical community just because he defeated Voldemort - not the best analogy but... I also hoped that the IT would end up destroyed but alas....
I actually hate Bran being king waaaaay more than Arya killing the NK. Mad Dany could potentially work given proper time and care, but it isn't necessary (then again, neither was Arya killing the NK).
No, it was the new writer for new Star Wars trilogy David Friedman (pen name: David Benioff). Remember that name well, son, because Roundhead Johnson was just the beginning.
@@UnfaithfulServant97 This person has been in a bunch of other threads spreading misinformation, saying things like "This is how GRRM planned to end the books" even though there is literally nothing to even suggest that.
It was not dead at that point, hardhorne was a great episode in season 5, the wildlings white walker arcs was very interesting to watch. On the other hand it had terrible arcs like dorne, and the shitty sand snakes. The show started to become a mixed of good and bad writing at season 5, same for season 6. Then season 7 happened and the writing went down even more but it still had good scenes here and there. It was not until season 8 that the arcs went into dead ends and MANY characters were completely wasted when they were not assassinated.
J Cole - apparently so, can you imagine? Spectacle over story. To hell with the plot line, just forget a character's history...so - killing Cersei was Ariya's goal FOR YEARS but now that she's finally in the Red Keep, with Cersei finally in her reach, for no reason that makes any sense at all she starts listening to the Hound -? and does what he says? Thanks him and turns on her heel and...LEAVES? Ariya to the Hound: "Forget killing Cersei? Hm. Ok. I've come all this way over all these years, she's finally in my reach, but never mind, you're probably right, she's probably already dead or will be soon, and if she's not, you'll do my killing for me you say so that's good enough for me, because I totally believe what you're saying here at this last minute that I'll die if I continue or become like you, which I totally believe would happen because I've always listened to you in the past because I think you're really smart, so Okie dokie. See ya!" The true Ariya would never say, ever.
cersei went from mustache twirling villain who had been one step ahead of everyone else for years to an incompetent and tragic figure in one fricken episode. but i guess characterization is just fan stuff after all.
Cersei's shtick was that she consistently failed upwards, her various low tier plots pretty much accidentally helped her gain more power (like the coincidental timing of her assassination of Robert just at the right time), I was waiting for her to try another mediocre plot only for it to actually COMPLETELY fail for once and then she realises she's not as clever as she thinks she is.
@@markopusic8258 she didn't imagine out maneuvering everyone else to the throne, she didn't imagine killing her rivals at the end of season 6, she didn't imagine getting dany to march north rather than south in season 7 so she could bring in supposedly the best army money could buy. but now all she does is stand there looking sad rather than scheming to the bitter end like she should have.
The one believable thing -one - in this episode was how Cersei died. Because that's what narcissists are like when they don't get their way - spoiled, whiny adult-toddler crybabies who are all about themselves to the end ("I don't wanna die! Me me me! Boo hoo hoo!"). But even this was probably because Lena is an amazing actress, not because it was written correctly. 😒 The poor cast and crew... I feel for them. The script was 💩.
In the blackwater episode Davos states that he never knew bells to mean surrender and yet in this episode bells mean surrender according to Tyrion, but Tyrion led the defence of kings landing in an episode where they ring the bells in warning not surrender
Yeah Varys says something similiar along the lines of „I hate the bells. They always ring for despair. The death of a king, a city under siege.“ The bells are also the reason Varys leaves King's Landing. He brings Tyrion onto the ship, wants to return, hears the bells (Tywin died, Chaos will happen), turns around and goes to Essos with Tyrion.
I feel they mis used the bells. Considering bells are a sign of warnings or alarms and sometimes for churches aswell to signal a time or something of prayer. If the enemy was to surrender they should just hoist a white flag or something
It’s all a troll, episode 7 comes out after Brian becomes king. What?! We all say Turning on our TV’s to see king Bran breaking the legs of everyone in Westeros with his army and putting them all in wheelchairs. Anyone who runs away he wargs into drogon and burns them to death In the distance a lone zombie polar bear sheds a tear, and the camera fly north over the Tundra to Tormund and Ghost hunting in the north. Camera pulls in tight to Tormund as he says, wonder what those southerners are doing right now... An army of crippled start rolling north as the wildling struggle to repair the ice wall Season 9 announced
I thought she would take the horses face and then ride off into the sunset as a loyal steed. *OR,* that assassin guy removes the horse mask and stabs Arya.
I recommend you guys go watch Dragon Demands channel. His videos are long sure but he has been studying D&D for years. He's an admin on the wiki so he has to watch the interviews. He's discovered that D&D themselves aren't writers at all. In fact around season 5 (it was present before but got worse over time) D&D have this bizarre fascination about actors and emoting. Like it shocks them that actors can emote. And so they keep writing scenes focus purely on the actors talents. People think the spectacle is driving the plot, no it's the actors. And it's not the actors fault. There have been multiple interviews where actors have blatantly said how lost they were and given zero direction on why their character does things. Stannis, Sansa, Barriston, Catelyn, Arya, Danny, Jon, and other actors have said how lost they were on set. I know this sounds crazy but just rewatch this episode, or episode 3, or the next one and keep track of how long there are scenes with zero dialogue and just the actors emoting for long periods of time. This has been what's driving the plot in the last 4 seasons, not spectacle.
Prez and ice smash wolf and mauls on asoiaf. They are top 1% dedicated channels, have some respect. I guarantee you neither of them have ever seen aquaman.
I believe there was some tension between D&D and GRRM mid way through the run. So, I doubt there was a deal between them, but I can believe that GRRM told them he was going to hold back the sixth book until they had finished the show, not to support them but to expose them and their dependence on his work. GRRM has hardly talked about the show directly for years, whilst conspicuously praising other TV shows. It may not be passive aggressive behaviour, but it's what it would look like.
I’m fine with that. It shows those hacks right. It’s petty and passive aggressive but he’d rather be vindicated on being a good author than let coattail-riders get away with it
Speaking of D&D, am I the only one who thinks these episodes are like a series of incredibly boched rolls in a P&P RPG campaign? Like, I can totally imagine the DM setting up this Night King NPC for several sessions over months, if not years, building him up through lore and making him the arch-rival of one of the roleplayer PCs, only for the half-drunk creepy dudebro who insisted on playing as a teen assassin girl, who have nothing to do with these characters, to come in and somehow roll three natural 20s in a row and OHK the campaign boss in one combat turn. So now all of the DMs plans and notes for the rest of the campaign are screwed and he tries to improvise by letting the PCs actions shape the next stage, but THEN another PC manages to roll two 1s in a row on a diplomacy check, resulting in them lashing out and murdering everyone in sight, at which point the DM decides that it's time for a "rocks fall, everyone dies" conclusion to the campaign.
I can totally imagine the scene with the Night King. The DM goes: "The Night King towers over your character. Unscathed. Triumphant. He takes a step towards--" "Am I there yet?" Jon Snow's player interrupts, earning an exasperated roll of the eye from the DM. "No Bill, I already told you that your character is held up by the Night King's dragon for 2d6 turns. What did you roll?" "... Seven..." The player admits grudgingly. "And how many turns passed?" "Two." "That's it. We will get back to you once your time out is over," the DM declares with a scoff. Serves him right, he thinks. Just what the hell was he thinking, hiding behind a rock like that. He had to fudge two rolls just so that the idiot wouldn't get killed off by the dragon's breath right then and there and completely ruin the climax. "So, where was I? Oh, right, the Night King. So he towers over your characters and--" All of a sudden the door opens and Timothy, the DM's older brother saunters in with a couple of beer cans in his hand. "Sorry guys, I was a little late!" he exclaims as he unsteadily sits down and puts the cans onto the table, then he flashes a toothy grin and asks, "What did I miss?" "Tim, we already told you..." The DM's words trail off as he smells the air and then he raises a single brow. "Have you been drinking already?" "Just a tiiiiiiny bit," Timothy says while showing his right index finger and thumb just a little apart. "So, where were we? Did you kill the Knight King guy already?" "I told you, his name is the NIGHT King, and no, he is currently in the process of towering over your characters." "Really?" Timothy flashes an impish grin. "So my Arya is there too?" "Um..." the suddenly question throws the DM for a loop for a moment, but then his eyes slowly narrow into suspicious squints as he answers with a tentative, "Maybe?" "Cool! I use Stealth and I go for a backstab!" "You can't backstab the Night King!" the DM protests, but the player only laughs. "Too late bro! The dice is already rolling! Wohoo! Natural twenty, baby!" The DM's eyes slowly open in abject horror as he stares at the D20 on the table, then he quickly says, "Wait, let me roll for a Detection check!" Saying so, he quickly hides behind the DM's screen and furiously rolls his dice and then declares, without even looking at the results, "The Night King's supernatural reflexes and supreme combat instincts allow him to detect you in the last moment and he stops your attack. Not only that, his towering figure catches Arya by the neck." "Oh come on, bro!" the player whines, but when it becomes obvious the DM wouldn't budge, he goes. "Fine, then I use Offhand Strike!" "The what now?" the DM utters in confusion. "Offhand strike. It's on my skill list. It allows the assassin to switch their weapon to the other hand and deal one additional, unblockable attack once per day." "That's bullshit!" "Nah, bro. And the dice is rolling again! Wohoo! Another 20! I'm on a roll, man!" "Oh no..." "And the damage roll is... another twenty! I can't be stopped bro!" "Oh nooooo...." "And as for the critical... drumroll please... BLAM! Another muthafuckin natural twenty bro! That's like... um... 6d6... multiply by four... carry the two... it's like a bajillion damage, dude!" "But... but... the Night King..." "He's dead, bro! Totally totes dead. Deader than the dead guys doing the michael jackson in the castle!" "But... my campaign..." "Muhaha! Lesson of the day, guys: Don't send a Knight King against the GOD OF THE DICE! Booyah! ... Hey bro, what are you doing with those? Aren't those your notes?" "Yeah, and guess what? You just fucked up my campaign, and all of them are useless. Thanks, Tim." "You are welcome bro." "... Fuck you, Tim. Also, gimme a beer. I need to improvise something, and I refuse to do it sober."
"Alright, you won the battle. Since you're basically the queen now, Dany, you're supposed to flip a coin for the Targaryen Coin Toss... Oh, it turned up tails. Welp - your alignment changes to chaotic evil. Campaign is fucked."
I love how harrenhall is a melted castle but winterfell and kings landing explode as soon as dragonfire touches stone. It all just falls apart and explodes. THAT'S NOT HOW FREAKING STONE WORKS. Oh but Jon behind a little rock? Perfectly fine.
I tell you, Dany has a "Spawn Unsullied Batallion" skill on a 1d-cooldown. No other way can you explain how she loses all her forces and then just refills the ranks endlessly. All the while the Scorpions here all still suffered from Magic:The Gathering "Summoning Sickness" and were still on stand by, thus did not even move. None of these bloody ballistas were even trying to aim at the durgon.
Anakin killed tusken raiders kids in episode 2, that does not mean revenge of the sith made anakin turn to the dark side believable because that was way too quick, but it's already much more believable than the shitshow that is season 8 of game of thrones.

Something struck me. Dany in this episode alone has a higher kill count of innocent people than Smaug in the prologue of the first hobbit movie and when he attacks lake town combined
I can’t believe how bad this was. They butchered all the characters. Shame really. This is your masterpiece. I feel bad for Emilia. All the difficulties she has gone through and now this. They have wasted this cast.
This is the first time i've ever seen her acting actually begin to take on its own life, and I feel so fucking bad for her that she's been driven into the fucking ground
I think Clarke’s acting this season is the best she’s been for the entire show. Too bad about the character. I actually liked the idea of her going crazy but they forced it
This is quite a achievement on bad writing if you really think about it, no character who survived beyond S4 besides The Hound has had their character arcs either destroyed entirely or completely regressed to how they were before.
I was planing on watching the whole series when season 8 ends. But now? Oof EDIT: "I killed them..i killed them all. Not just the men, but the women...and the children too. I slaughted them like animals. I HATE THEM!"
Special Rob to be honest? Just stop watching after season 6 episode 10. The first 4 seasons are legendary, 5 is meh, and I personally have few problems with 6. Continue onto 7 at your own risk, and head-canon your own endings.
Special Rob It’s mostly season 8. Season 7 has a nonsensical plot and absolutely destroys the flow of time, with characters seemingly teleporting to their destination in a matter of minutes, but it at least has great character moments which has always been my favorite part of the show.
I killed them, their dead, I killed them all. And not just the men, but the woman and the children too. Their like animals and slottered like animals. I head them.

Arya did not "just" killed the entirety of house Frey, she chopped up and then baked Walder's sons into a pie, then prepared his table, wine, and everything just so Walder would be eating his family while she ceremoniously kills him, according to D&D she has *NOT* crossed the vegeance line yet.

I love how last episode people were like: "Well Jon leaving Ghost symbolizes him embracing his Targaryen lineage. It's so poetic."
Then this episode there's no mention by Jon of where Rheagal is, what happened to him or a scene being sad over his dragon friend being dead. You know, the pet of the house he's "symbolically turning too."
Kyle Gaudette I’m pretty sure the only lines he had this episode consisted of “I love you” “you’re my queen” “she’s my queen” “no stop” and “I never wanted it”.

So Euron is more excited over “killing” a cripple (which nobody should be able to figure out since Jaime died in a construction accident) than he is over the fact that he’s the first person in over 100 years to kill a dragon?

You know this is another chance to give Tolkien // LOTR some extra credit for being the greatest fantasy story.
He understood what D&D don't even know the existence of. The Journey > The Destination.
So many plotlines and characters end up in these places in S8 with the flick of a switch.
Without showing it. Most of the endings to these characters are fine but the way they get to them ruins the moment.
Varys getting killed by Dany is fine. But not like this.
Dany going insane is fine. But not like this.
Arya being a part of the Night King's death is fine. But not like this.
Jaime dying with Cersei is fine. But not like this.
Jorah dying defending Dany is fine. But not like this.
The Night King dying is fine but not like this and not in Winterfell.
Jon riding Rhaegal (for the first time) is fine.
BUT. NOT. LIKE. THIS
The journey the characters take, the changes to their character, their feelings, their self betterment. All these things were built up so well (for the most part) in S1-S7 but now they don't get payed off. They take a complete 180 and go BOOM didn't expect that did you?!
There are so many needed scenes that are just not there. And sadly with all the normies on social media that defend this shit (Yes still!) this is going to happen to more beloved well written stories that rise in popularity and get corrupted over time.
I miss the days when good stories weren't influenced by the incendiary twitter mob that spew out in the moment reactions based off a limited view on how stories are constructed and payed off. It's all about the moments for them rather than the momentum as a whole.
God I wish that they didnt turn Jaime into Jaimeld Lank
Nah, I'd say what Tolkien understood is that Journey = Destination. If you fuck up either, the story will suffer. LOTR nailed both the escalating story (Journey) and ultimate pay off (Destination). Whereas GOT has been floundering since they ran out of books to adapt.
Yeah I even remember people comparing george to tolkien back when the show was in an all time high. My response was, give it a few years, GOT is a trend, it wont age well. Even if GEORGE manage to unfuck what dumb and dumber did to the ending of the show with the new books.

@SmallmoneyYT ok? That’s a bad thing lmaoo

As a non-GOT fan I think what is more shocking than anything is that D&D took TWO years to plan the final season and yet it is ending up being worse than there prior stuff to plenty of fans. I'm lost for words how anyone can do that. Rian Johnson, bad as he was, had a first draft and that should have technically been worse. But even compared to TLJ, GOT is getting dogged on a lot more. It makes me shudder what these guys have in store for SWs.
We live in the age of incompetency were good writers are rare.
@chaoszieg doesn't that mean though that the things people liked before are gone/have been replaced with worse things?
That still is a sign of decadence in the show
@chaoszieg look, I'm not a fan of game of thrones, but from what I could gather about the story I got the impression that this jaimie guy was distancing himself from his sister, because she tried to kill him or wathever. It turns out eventually that he ended up fucking the blonde lady that played captain phasma in the sequel trilogy, so if all of this had a bit of logic I'd say that this jaimie doesn't care that much about his sister anymore, because now he's fucking someone else. And yet, apparently, he doesn't and he still wants to fuck his sister, so he betrayseveryone to go back with her😓. It's like he took a highway to go somewhere and then at the last second before reaching his destination he literally teleported back to where he started, ruining all the long journey he made until then. Now, I may be super wrong because I only watch funny summaries of game of thrones, but if this is what actually happened I'd be decently pissed. Abother example is the crazy dragon lady: from what I could gather she basically went from someone who punishes her enemies but still tries to help innocents to crazy psychotic genocider in 5 minutes, with her constantly whining before her switch because she was upset that not everyone was instantly bowing to her and accepting to basically be conquered. Also, her switch wasn't apparently caused by the death of the friend she kept on the hook for 8 seasons, or the death of her second precious dragon boy, but by the death of her servant, which I don't actually know if it is earned or not. Or mister "you know nothing guy that resurrected"; the way people described him to me was that he was a guy that didn't care about the constant backstabbing that was happening to get the throne, and instead was only focused on doing the right thing to dave humanity from the ice zombies, but then that threat was defeated without his help and now he basically wanders around like a lost puppy that doesn't know what he's doing and why.
Or maybe I know nothing, and the show is still legendary and awesome, and everyone is overeacting😶. I'll still appreciate the beautiful dragon slauthering tens of thousands of innocent civilians though, because humanity is overrated. Dragon boys master race
The show was falling apart since they caught up with the books by season 5. However, lots of people who were disenfranchised at the time, gave season 8 a go precisely because they took a 2 year break ''to get it right''. It was a sign that the criticism was heard.
Little did we know. Guess we had our (puts on black sunglasses) expectations subverted...

Just being magical is a cheap shortcut to this that GRRM should avoid as per his assertions done until now about what his books stand for. Aragorn is more suitable being king than Bran is in the show and the books. Let's say that GRRM is setting Bran as king in the last 2books but what about the other 5books? Wouldn't be the same thing what the show is doing? Ignoring previous forshadows and hints?
@@ioanaberbece8137 Oh, I definitely agree with you. I was just imagining a possibility of Bran being the only one left after the Long Night in the books and being (if Georgie goes this route) a walking, talking knowledge depository could really help you rule a kingdom wisely. So I see. in theory, why Bran as the king could be a wise choice for the Kingdom. I was just hoping They'd break up the Kingdoms after understanding that one voice cannot govern a large variety of peoples, each with their own distinctive, tribal or local culture and values - meaning the kingdoms should govern themselves again, and Bran could oversee that transition, considering his ambitions - if indeed he has them - are not with an almost exclusively uncomfortable throne.
@@Charleroi92 I see where you're going with but just knowing things doesn't make you automatically good at something. GRRM preached about Aragorn but then he goes with the idea that a guy who magically got transfered the wealth of knowledge in his brain? That seems like a convenient way to skip all that struggle a character has to go through, the personal journey someone has to make him a good ruler. If that is what GRRM is going for then he has a lot of balls to criticise Tolkien's Aragorn. Not even Rowling didn't go so dar as making Harry Potter the guy who ended up ruling the magical community just because he defeated Voldemort - not the best analogy but...
I also hoped that the IT would end up destroyed but alas....
I actually hate Bran being king waaaaay more than Arya killing the NK. Mad Dany could potentially work given proper time and care, but it isn't necessary (then again, neither was Arya killing the NK).
Did Rian Johnson start writing GOT?
Well, they did subvert my expectations at least.
@@TyrDrum Same here, it really subverted my expectation of the show being decent!
No, it was the new writer for new Star Wars trilogy David Friedman (pen name: David Benioff). Remember that name well, son, because Roundhead Johnson was just the beginning.
Rian Johnson is actually a really good writer. He just isn't right for Star Wars. He wrote Looper and Brick. D and D have always sucked.
clariola Looper isn’t written well, massive plot holes in that film.
I like the parallel of Jaime dropping Bran from a window. Who knew that the _genius_ writers will literally throw Jaime's character out the window.
chaoszieg - Just because you like it doesn't mean it's good neither lol. What a retarded argument to make.
@@UnfaithfulServant97 This person has been in a bunch of other threads spreading misinformation, saying things like "This is how GRRM planned to end the books" even though there is literally nothing to even suggest that.
"wight walkers aren't real. the dead can't walk."

These videos are so therapeutic. The show died back in season 5 but no one around me seemed to notice until this episode.
Yeah, only now do we realize we've been watching the slowly decaying, shambling corpse of what could have been the greatest TV series ever.
It was not dead at that point, hardhorne was a great episode in season 5, the wildlings white walker arcs was very interesting to watch. On the other hand it had terrible arcs like dorne, and the shitty sand snakes. The show started to become a mixed of good and bad writing at season 5, same for season 6. Then season 7 happened and the writing went down even more but it still had good scenes here and there. It was not until season 8 that the arcs went into dead ends and MANY characters were completely wasted when they were not assassinated.
As soon as I've seen the Dorne shitshow I jumped out the show, haven't seen any more of it, seem like I've saved some hours of my life
"disappointing"
"i dunno, epic, one of those" -Kit Harington, 2019
epically disappointing
Ariya was purely a plot device to see the destruction from a ground view
J Cole - apparently so, can you imagine? Spectacle over story. To hell with the plot line, just forget a character's history...so - killing Cersei was Ariya's goal FOR YEARS but now that she's finally in the Red Keep, with Cersei finally in her reach, for no reason that makes any sense at all she starts listening to the Hound -? and does what he says? Thanks him and turns on her heel and...LEAVES? Ariya to the Hound: "Forget killing Cersei? Hm. Ok. I've come all this way over all these years, she's finally in my reach, but never mind, you're probably right, she's probably already dead or will be soon, and if she's not, you'll do my killing for me you say so that's good enough for me, because I totally believe what you're saying here at this last minute that I'll die if I continue or become like you, which I totally believe would happen because I've always listened to you in the past because I think you're really smart, so Okie dokie. See ya!" The true Ariya would never say, ever.
cersei went from mustache twirling villain who had been one step ahead of everyone else for years to an incompetent and tragic figure in one fricken episode. but i guess characterization is just fan stuff after all.
I blame hormones for this xD
More like imaginating she was one step ahead of everyone but yeah
Cersei's shtick was that she consistently failed upwards, her various low tier plots pretty much accidentally helped her gain more power (like the coincidental timing of her assassination of Robert just at the right time), I was waiting for her to try another mediocre plot only for it to actually COMPLETELY fail for once and then she realises she's not as clever as she thinks she is.
@@markopusic8258 she didn't imagine out maneuvering everyone else to the throne, she didn't imagine killing her rivals at the end of season 6, she didn't imagine getting dany to march north rather than south in season 7 so she could bring in supposedly the best army money could buy. but now all she does is stand there looking sad rather than scheming to the bitter end like she should have.
The one believable thing -one - in this episode was how Cersei died. Because that's what narcissists are like when they don't get their way - spoiled, whiny adult-toddler crybabies who are all about themselves to the end ("I don't wanna die! Me me me! Boo hoo hoo!"). But even this was probably because Lena is an amazing actress, not because it was written correctly. 😒 The poor cast and crew... I feel for them. The script was 💩.
In the blackwater episode Davos states that he never knew bells to mean surrender and yet in this episode bells mean surrender according to Tyrion, but Tyrion led the defence of kings landing in an episode where they ring the bells in warning not surrender
🤯
You are asking DnD to use their brain, too big of an effort for them.
Yeah Varys says something similiar along the lines of „I hate the bells. They always ring for despair. The death of a king, a city under siege.“
The bells are also the reason Varys leaves King's Landing. He brings Tyrion onto the ship, wants to return, hears the bells (Tywin died, Chaos will happen), turns around and goes to Essos with Tyrion.
I feel they mis used the bells. Considering bells are a sign of warnings or alarms and sometimes for churches aswell to signal a time or something of prayer.
If the enemy was to surrender they should just hoist a white flag or something
It’s all a troll, episode 7 comes out after Brian becomes king. What?! We all say
Turning on our TV’s to see king Bran breaking the legs of everyone in Westeros with his army and putting them all in wheelchairs.
Anyone who runs away he wargs into drogon and burns them to death
In the distance a lone zombie polar bear sheds a tear, and the camera fly north over the Tundra to Tormund and Ghost hunting in the north.
Camera pulls in tight to Tormund as he says, wonder what those southerners are doing right now...
An army of crippled start rolling north as the wildling struggle to repair the ice wall
Season 9 announced
I'm gonna go ahead and pretend your ending is the true one. Better yet have Bran sitting next to the tower window as he pushes people out one by one
No one can kneel anymore
Too dignified, but also better than season 8.
At this point I really thought the horse would have killed Arya, judging by how things were going.
I thought she would take the horses face and then ride off into the sunset as a loyal steed.
*OR,* that assassin guy removes the horse mask and stabs Arya.
I'm not joking by the way I literally considered that as a possibility
Rape horse from Berserk
But, Arya can’t die. She’s the main character now
Or Dany burns her as Arya is reaching for the horse.
I recommend you guys go watch Dragon Demands channel. His videos are long sure but he has been studying D&D for years. He's an admin on the wiki so he has to watch the interviews. He's discovered that D&D themselves aren't writers at all. In fact around season 5 (it was present before but got worse over time) D&D have this bizarre fascination about actors and emoting. Like it shocks them that actors can emote. And so they keep writing scenes focus purely on the actors talents. People think the spectacle is driving the plot, no it's the actors. And it's not the actors fault. There have been multiple interviews where actors have blatantly said how lost they were and given zero direction on why their character does things. Stannis, Sansa, Barriston, Catelyn, Arya, Danny, Jon, and other actors have said how lost they were on set. I know this sounds crazy but just rewatch this episode, or episode 3, or the next one and keep track of how long there are scenes with zero dialogue and just the actors emoting for long periods of time. This has been what's driving the plot in the last 4 seasons, not spectacle.
Get ideasofIceandfire on the podcast, he is just as appalled bout this as you guys
His video response radiated contempt.
Yes
And Preston Jacobs. Gods, I would be so erect if Mauler and Preston were together on a stream.
I watched all of his Dune stuff. This guy is amazing. He should be famous, reading audiobooks or voice-acting .
Prez and ice smash wolf and mauls on asoiaf. They are top 1% dedicated channels, have some respect. I guarantee you neither of them have ever seen aquaman.
Imagine being one of those parents who named their child after Dany.
I believe there was some tension between D&D and GRRM mid way through the run. So, I doubt there was a deal between them, but I can believe that GRRM told them he was going to hold back the sixth book until they had finished the show, not to support them but to expose them and their dependence on his work.
GRRM has hardly talked about the show directly for years, whilst conspicuously praising other TV shows. It may not be passive aggressive behaviour, but it's what it would look like.
I’m fine with that. It shows those hacks right. It’s petty and passive aggressive but he’d rather be vindicated on being a good author than let coattail-riders get away with it
"Good Writing? Burn it! Burn it all!!!"
No good writing is every really gone.
Daenerys in Rickon Tier is not even a meme now. It's perfectly accurate.

I’ve been looking forward to this! Btw Wolf your rant on episode 3 was goddam legendary!
Hehe hell yeah I keep rewatching it to refuel the anger.
Speaking of D&D, am I the only one who thinks these episodes are like a series of incredibly boched rolls in a P&P RPG campaign? Like, I can totally imagine the DM setting up this Night King NPC for several sessions over months, if not years, building him up through lore and making him the arch-rival of one of the roleplayer PCs, only for the half-drunk creepy dudebro who insisted on playing as a teen assassin girl, who have nothing to do with these characters, to come in and somehow roll three natural 20s in a row and OHK the campaign boss in one combat turn. So now all of the DMs plans and notes for the rest of the campaign are screwed and he tries to improvise by letting the PCs actions shape the next stage, but THEN another PC manages to roll two 1s in a row on a diplomacy check, resulting in them lashing out and murdering everyone in sight, at which point the DM decides that it's time for a "rocks fall, everyone dies" conclusion to the campaign.
....and now we know how season 8 was written. D&D played a capaign over the weekend to test the waters and just went with it.
I can totally imagine the scene with the Night King. The DM goes:
"The Night King towers over your character. Unscathed. Triumphant. He takes a step towards--"
"Am I there yet?" Jon Snow's player interrupts, earning an exasperated roll of the eye from the DM.
"No Bill, I already told you that your character is held up by the Night King's dragon for 2d6 turns. What did you roll?"
"... Seven..." The player admits grudgingly.
"And how many turns passed?"
"Two."
"That's it. We will get back to you once your time out is over," the DM declares with a scoff. Serves him right, he thinks. Just what the hell was he thinking, hiding behind a rock like that. He had to fudge two rolls just so that the idiot wouldn't get killed off by the dragon's breath right then and there and completely ruin the climax.
"So, where was I? Oh, right, the Night King. So he towers over your characters and--"
All of a sudden the door opens and Timothy, the DM's older brother saunters in with a couple of beer cans in his hand.
"Sorry guys, I was a little late!" he exclaims as he unsteadily sits down and puts the cans onto the table, then he flashes a toothy grin and asks, "What did I miss?"
"Tim, we already told you..." The DM's words trail off as he smells the air and then he raises a single brow. "Have you been drinking already?"
"Just a tiiiiiiny bit," Timothy says while showing his right index finger and thumb just a little apart. "So, where were we? Did you kill the Knight King guy already?"
"I told you, his name is the NIGHT King, and no, he is currently in the process of towering over your characters."
"Really?" Timothy flashes an impish grin. "So my Arya is there too?"
"Um..." the suddenly question throws the DM for a loop for a moment, but then his eyes slowly narrow into suspicious squints as he answers with a tentative, "Maybe?"
"Cool! I use Stealth and I go for a backstab!"
"You can't backstab the Night King!" the DM protests, but the player only laughs.
"Too late bro! The dice is already rolling! Wohoo! Natural twenty, baby!"
The DM's eyes slowly open in abject horror as he stares at the D20 on the table, then he quickly says, "Wait, let me roll for a Detection check!"
Saying so, he quickly hides behind the DM's screen and furiously rolls his dice and then declares, without even looking at the results, "The Night King's supernatural reflexes and supreme combat instincts allow him to detect you in the last moment and he stops your attack. Not only that, his towering figure catches Arya by the neck."
"Oh come on, bro!" the player whines, but when it becomes obvious the DM wouldn't budge, he goes. "Fine, then I use Offhand Strike!"
"The what now?" the DM utters in confusion.
"Offhand strike. It's on my skill list. It allows the assassin to switch their weapon to the other hand and deal one additional, unblockable attack once per day."
"That's bullshit!"
"Nah, bro. And the dice is rolling again! Wohoo! Another 20! I'm on a roll, man!"
"Oh no..."
"And the damage roll is... another twenty! I can't be stopped bro!"
"Oh nooooo...."
"And as for the critical... drumroll please... BLAM! Another muthafuckin natural twenty bro! That's like... um... 6d6... multiply by four... carry the two... it's like a bajillion damage, dude!"
"But... but... the Night King..."
"He's dead, bro! Totally totes dead. Deader than the dead guys doing the michael jackson in the castle!"
"But... my campaign..."
"Muhaha! Lesson of the day, guys: Don't send a Knight King against the GOD OF THE DICE! Booyah! ... Hey bro, what are you doing with those? Aren't those your notes?"
"Yeah, and guess what? You just fucked up my campaign, and all of them are useless. Thanks, Tim."
"You are welcome bro."
"... Fuck you, Tim. Also, gimme a beer. I need to improvise something, and I refuse to do it sober."
And then someone actually believes this reasoning and then goes on to say that the show is brilliant because of it.
@@Horvath_Gabor Tim doesn't shout QUEEN SLAAAAAAAAY after rolling nat20 for damage 2/10 would not read again.
"Alright, you won the battle. Since you're basically the queen now, Dany, you're supposed to flip a coin for the Targaryen Coin Toss... Oh, it turned up tails. Welp - your alignment changes to chaotic evil. Campaign is fucked."
I love how harrenhall is a melted castle but winterfell and kings landing explode as soon as dragonfire touches stone. It all just falls apart and explodes.
THAT'S NOT HOW FREAKING STONE WORKS.
Oh but Jon behind a little rock?
Perfectly fine.
GOT right now. We were on the verge of greatness, we were this close.
I tell you, Dany has a "Spawn Unsullied Batallion" skill on a 1d-cooldown. No other way can you explain how she loses all her forces and then just refills the ranks endlessly.
All the while the Scorpions here all still suffered from Magic:The Gathering "Summoning Sickness" and were still on stand by, thus did not even move. None of these bloody ballistas were even trying to aim at the durgon.
Resources? Money? Troops? Pffft, just snap them into existence reverse Thanos style
Meanwhile in Essos...
Hey, she lost another batallion... Timmy! c'mere boy, now strip and hold still, mama needs more me- I mean soldiers.
Burning the Red Keep, regardless of civilians, I can understand. But my god... She went full Anakin!
Anakin killed tusken raiders kids in episode 2, that does not mean revenge of the sith made anakin turn to the dark side believable because that was way too quick, but it's already much more believable than the shitshow that is season 8 of game of thrones.
Why is it so hard to write a consistent story? Are you people incompetent?
Sadly, yes. I don't think they even bothered with Outlining. Or consistent logic.
Its really not that fucking hard, you stay within the rules that you set when you write, just don't break the rules that you made up
cocaine is a hell of a drug
Nazis... I hate those... Wait, that's the "good guys" burning and r4ping!? What the fu*k!
Gorgonite Emissary what I don't get is: if you don't want to keep on writing Game of Thrones and move on to something else, just give it to someone else! Don't go and shit the bed like this D&D, anyone would've loved to take over if you want to move on to something else
It was originally supposed to be wildfire that Danny set off accidentally. Which would have made more sense
Something struck me. Dany in this episode alone has a higher kill count of innocent people than Smaug in the prologue of the first hobbit movie and when he attacks lake town combined
I can’t believe how bad this was. They butchered all the characters. Shame really. This is your masterpiece.
I feel bad for Emilia. All the difficulties she has gone through and now this. They have wasted this cast.
This is the first time i've ever seen her acting actually begin to take on its own life, and I feel so fucking bad for her that she's been driven into the fucking ground
"WHERE IS MY AGENT?!"
-Emilia Clark probably
I think Clarke’s acting this season is the best she’s been for the entire show. Too bad about the character. I actually liked the idea of her going crazy but they forced it
This is quite a achievement on bad writing if you really think about it, no character who survived beyond S4 besides The Hound has had their character arcs either destroyed entirely or completely regressed to how they were before.
Theon's character arc was pretty consistent
I was planing on watching the whole series when season 8 ends. But now? Oof
EDIT: "I killed them..i killed them all. Not just the men, but the women...and the children too. I slaughted them like animals. I HATE THEM!"
Special Rob to be honest? Just stop watching after season 6 episode 10. The first 4 seasons are legendary, 5 is meh, and I personally have few problems with 6. Continue onto 7 at your own risk, and head-canon your own endings.
@@mand0rk that....sounds terrifying on what you said about season 7 and 8
Special Rob It’s mostly season 8. Season 7 has a nonsensical plot and absolutely destroys the flow of time, with characters seemingly teleporting to their destination in a matter of minutes, but it at least has great character moments which has always been my favorite part of the show.
