If you are referring to the battle at Winterfell: You are not expected to see everything because its suppose to add to the terror and tactics and/or walls don't matter if the opposing numbers are incomprehensible. But fair to say, that battle has other problems that are not addressed.
@@godsBane266 In what world do tactics and walls not matter when the opponent's army vastly outnumbers your own. Strategy and tactics are the only way to overcome such a foe. Well, that, and an assassin with cool dagger.
Many leaders, upon seeing their ships, friends, and soldiers, perish in a massive explosion, may have wavered, stuttered, or shown fear . Stannis stood tall and confident that he would prevail, so instead of being disheartened his troops rallied.
That scene is supposed to show how he's unfit to rule due to his inability to stir the hearts of men (his speeches suck) or care for their lives. But sure, go ahead and pretend he's great with his flaming sword.
It showed that he is calm in a crisis and that his bannermen respect him for that, but it also showed that he's not very good at giving speeches and he knows it. Very good characterisation.
Fun fact: the Pyromancer is played by Roy Dotrice (Leopold Mozart: Amadeus (1984)). Dotrice is the narrator for A Song of Ice and Fire books, and as such has played _every character in Game of Thrones_ (except those that were created for the TV series). This was - at the time - a world record. Dotrice was originally meant to play Grand Maester Pycelle, but health problems prevented him from doing so. He passed away in 2017.

Fun Fact: the tactic that Tyrion used with the ''fireship'' is a real historical naval battle tactic. They used to take ships,fill them up with various flammable materials like tar,oil,gunpowder etc. and use them as ''floating bombs'' against enemy ships. The Dutch used these ''fireships' against the Spanish Armada,in the 16th century,during their war of independence to great effect and the Greeks perfected this tactic during the greek war of indepence of 1821,against the Osmanic fleet. A greek naval commander,by the name Constantin Kanaris,even managed to burn the Osmanic fleet's flagship,outside of the island of Chios,a huge Man of War battleship with a ''fireship''. Also,the ''wildfire'' is inspired by the ''greek fire'' of the Byzantine Empire,a medievil incidiary weapon similar to napalm or white phosphorus,that couldn't be extinguished with water and used extensively in naval battles by the Byzantines. His exact chemical formula is still today unknown,because the Byzantines kept it as a state secret.
Can you talk to Dany? She needs to get schooled on these prior battles and military tactics...she is currently getting her ass handed to her (-2 Dragons). Sir Devros survived this battle, better ask him for advice. Has Tyrion told her about wildfire? Cersi surely will use it as a weapon in the days to come.
Also, the 'wildfire' itself is based upon Greek fire, which was supposedly used like giant flamethrowers, only the fire would even burn on contact with water and not die out. I say supposedly, because the recipe for Greek fire was lost long ago. Nobody knows how it was created, but it's possibly very similar to napalm. Apparently it was fucking devastating on the battlefield.
I had a chilling realization about the wildfire and that it was Cersei who commissioned it initially. Remember how they were all waiting in Baelor's Sept during the battle and that Cersei was insistent that people remain? I thought she had been planning on poisoning the guests or having the soldiers kill them, but no...even back then in S2, she had Baelor's Sept set up to blow on her word.
+Matt Williams Of course he's pleased with himself. Can you imagine how he would be rewarded for providing the hand with the means to destroy a large percentage of Stannis' navy without a single lost soldier, and consequently keep Joffrey on the throne?

Yes right, in episode of fight versus white walkers, i can't watch a damm thing ,it was so dark, i thought i was the only one who cannot watch anything
It's a neat little visual detail to see Jeoffrey "Baratheon" in red Lannister armor. Story wise, this can be explained away by the need for an army to easily tell friend from foe, but it's also a visual nod to the fact that Jeoffrey is not a Baratheon but 100 percent Lannister.
Well from King Robert's death onwards the entire royal family basically drops the Baratheon heraldry. Joffery has the lion and the stag on his sigil and everything else is Lannister themed.
@@Myne1001Probably mostly because 1. Cersei is Queen Regent making her the leader of the country so a Lannister is in control and 2. The original Baratheons are rebelling against the crown so straight flying their colours (since Renly is using the original Baratheon heraldry) and calling yourself Baratheons would likely be confusing and allow them to try and confuse legitimacy like Stannis tries to do. It is probably intended as "Lannisters are taking over!" Though
Love the Hound's reaction. As a man who's been burned and knows that pain, watching hundreds if not thousands of other men simultaneously go up in flames and experience that same pain -without any warning - it seems like he might be connecting Tyrion the Dwarf to Gregor the Mountain in his mind, in this moment; and that this might be the first wave that rocks the boat in this battle, that makes him consider leaving the Lannisters to their fate.
piyush garg at some point in season 1 or 2 Edmure Tully tries to deed his fathers (I think) funeral by setting the vessel on which his dads dead body is placed ablaze, by shooting flaming arrows at it. As dumb as he is,he misses all the shots so some other dude does it for of him.
The one thing I've always hated about this scene is that it paints Davos in a bad light. In the books, Davos wasn't in charge of this naval engagement. He had no choice but to follow Stannis' current admiral, and Davos mentions that he has serious reservations about their plan. He wanted to leave the fleet out at sea and scout the blackwater. He also wanted the Lyseni pirate Sallador to take a more direct part in the battle, as Sallador's men had more experience as sailors and fighters. Unfortunately for Stannis and his army, Davos was treated as nothing more than an up-jumped old woman who had no taste for battle.
@Anjelica Snorcket not enough budget( battle of Oxcross would've been great to see) they were saving it for Blackwater episode. I also wanted battle of the whispering wood and green fork in s1 but again budget reasons.
@@manvirshergill1739 hopefully someone will do an animated show for game of thrones wiht competent writers and which follows the books properly (hopefully with the same badass animation as castlevania)
pyromancer: watches the explosion and loves it sandor: watches the explosion but is horrified joffrey: misses the explosion but loves the aftermath tyrion: missed the explosion and is horrified by the aftermath says a lot about their respective characters to be honest...
@@gagewileman9434 I think the Hound was terrified for both reasons - his phobia and the sheer destruction. Although he is a "by any means necessary" guy, he still has some principles and I think one of those is along the lines of: In battle, men should die by the sword, swiftly, not tortured by magic.
I almost would have preferred the Battle of Winterfell to be like the Battle of Oxcross, back when they didn't have the budget for a battle. Just time skip to the end of the battle and Arya wiping Night King blood or ice chips or whatever he has, off her sword.
When you are versing mindless hordes of zombies there are no tactics or logic that will work. The dothraki probs shouldn't have charged headlong but otherwise it was pretty standard military tactics for that level of fighting and tech
''There is no creature on this Earth half so terrifying as a truly just man.'' It captivates Stannis. The way he nods his head when the knight says ''Hundreds will die.'', shows that it truly doesn't matter to him how many will die so long as justice has been served.
His facial expression seems to be one of "you're not technically wrong but also not entirely right," and demonstrates that he had already thought it through by correcting him.
@@FatihAegon well I mean he did kill more than 5 people which means he would be on a "Killstreak" even with the environmental part. But even then he was directly involved in killing them because of the arrow
@@sheldon-cooper no if you shoot any environmental things it will count as a environmental kill like a rope holding something heavy if you shoot the rope and heavy thing drops and kills somebody it will count as a environmental kill same thing counts if you shoot something incendineary on water
@@jordanbelfort4103 It's a book character named Ser Justin Massey, and he is actually quite the pansy. Stannis values Massey's combat contributions so little that he uses the knight as a page and to carry messages. It's perfect casting.
When anyone sees that much fire no one gets inspired when a commanders asks you to go and attack But WHEN HE GOES FIRST AND LEAD THE ATTACK That is another story
Love how these early series were written. Even in a chaotic battle scene, the show finds an opportunity to teach us about the main characters using their reactions to the wildfire: Bronn and the Hound, tough soldiers are nonetheless shaken by the force they’ve unleashed, revealing a humanity we hadn’t really seen in them yet. Joff and the pyromancer are sadists, excited by all the horror. And empathetic Tyrion is more interested and disturbed by the reactions of those around him.
Very good observations ! ... I might be willing to cut the pyromancer some slack as ....we know nothing about him as a rounded-character ....and presumably his skill and knowledge has been used to protect the city against what they might percieve as a murderous and savage attack : the craftsman has seen his tools utilised effectively .....Joff of course is beyond any such "slack" ....
Well, I don't mind if stannis soldiers "having fun" with cersei while sacking the keep. But it means sansa will be dead in that moment. Kinda had split feeling about this
Several things I LOVE in this scene 1. Sandor's reactions to the fire 2. The break in the voice of Stannis's officer when he says "But the wild~fire..." 3. "Thousands" (that line I've watched over and over and I never tire of it) 4. Stannis is the first down the ladder. This scene catapulted Stannis up my list of the most interesting character's in the series.
I appreciate that they make the effort to show the wildfire touching off regular fires, and repeatedly show wildfire and regular fire in the same frame instead of just slapping a filter on all of it.
I love how Tyrion's armour incorporates a bit of book lore: the symbol of the Hand of the King is a golden chain of office of hands linking together. It's emblazoned on Tyrion's breastplate. In the show, they just use a pin with a single hand on it instead.
I won't lie, what really gave me chills the first time I saw this wasn't the explosion or screaming that followed; it was the look on Stannis' face right before he replied "thousands."
This was one of the most painful scenes in the show. WHY did stannis have to lose? Probably the second greatest tragedy of the show (following season 8).
True but remember that if Stannis had won, Tyrion would have been executed along with Varys and Littlefinger, so we would have lost some great characters.
@@michaeldaley4777 Greek Fire was the historical version of a WMD Dragons are the fantastical. Neither are something I'd like to get on the wrong side of.
I remember watching this scene for the first time right after it came out. It was amazing. Nowdays we take these grand battle scenes on TV for granted but at the time this was a spectacle. And combined with those rich characters, dialogues and storylines... What a great show this was!
He was a fool not to retreat when he knew he didn't have a chance of winning against the Boltons. Basically he committed suicide and took his remaining troops with him.
@@jamie_d0g978 Bad guys have the worst plot armour in this show and always have. Always hated people claiming this is a show where anything can happen to anyone, when Bolton had all the magic powers in the world to keep living and winning whilst he was fulfilling the role of "series antagonist". Same with Cersei.
@Jamie_ D0G it is his fault he kept listening to that crazy bish. He lost half his army for burning his daughter alive and he killed his own brother. He deserved to lose.
That wide shot on 3:05 is great. Great shot on showing the vast scale of chaos and damage from the wildfire. Love how it shows that the old guy and Joffrey are smiling like idiots while Tyrion and the hound look on with horror.
Joffrey: _let's Tyrion plan everything about the defense, doesn't attend a single meeting about it and knows absolutely nothing aside from 'uhh stand on the walls I guess', giving Tyrion complete control and seemingly trusting his judgement_ Also Joffrey: wHeRe aRE tHe sHiPS
@@erickariuki6842Pretty sure it was Cersei, Littlefinger doesn't have that kind of authority, nor is he foolish enough to use Mandon Moore as his agent
@@whensomethingcriesagain In the books, the poison that killed Joffrey was in Tyrion's cup. Who's to say that it wasn't the first time Littlefinger tried to assassinate Tyrion?
He had his fans, despite his total lack of charm, his murder of his brother by blood magic and his fondness for burning "heretics", but burning your own sweet little daughter at the stake is crossing the line. Actually, a Baratheon with Stannis/ Robert's warrior skills, Stannis' sense of duty and Renly's charm would have made a great king.
0:07 Despite being a psychotic boyking, he did have a few abilities...he was amazingly accurate with a crossbow, and he had very sharp eyes...he was the first to spot the fleet, out of all those searching for it from atop the walls.
@@TV-ge3uj Maybe… but it seems he was a sociopath from the start , Cersei ‘s education probably dumbed him down . If she ignored him he may have been a competent sociopath.
Why don't we get these kind of battle ideas for the battle of winterfell instead of sending dothraki armies to get slaughtered. Old tyrion was probably the best strategist in the 7 kingdoms.
Because Battle of Blackwater Bay was written by G.R.R Martin and not incopetent creators of the show. By the way even Blackwater Bay was slightliy simplified in the show.
If not for Tyrion Stannis would have been in full control of King's Landing by the time Twying and the Tyrells arrived. And if not for Tyrion's mountain clans killing Stannis's scouts, they wouldn't even have been able to surprise Stannis.
PinkGuy VEVO No it was dumb. They took it too far. I tried turning up the brightness on my tv, adjusting settings, turning off all the lights in the room and it didn’t make a difference. I couldn’t see what was going on in many scenes. I gotta tell you, there’s nothing less intense than staring at a blank screen.
I think this is part of the reason people like Stannis. He's cold, he's unsympathetic, he's ruthless. But he's not a hypocrite or a coward. He's on the front line fighting for his own cause. Whether you think the cause is right or wrong, he's at least willing to put himself on the line for it.

It's a neat little visual detail to see Jeoffrey "Baratheon" in red Lannister armor. Story wise, this can be explained away by the need for an army to easily tell friend from foe, but it's also a visual nod to the fact that Jeoffrey is not a Baratheon but 100 percent Lannister.
Well from King Robert's death onwards the entire royal family basically drops the Baratheon heraldry. Joffery has the lion and the stag on his sigil and everything else is Lannister themed.
Yeah, not exactly smart.
@@Myne1001Probably mostly because 1. Cersei is Queen Regent making her the leader of the country so a Lannister is in control and 2. The original Baratheons are rebelling against the crown so straight flying their colours (since Renly is using the original Baratheon heraldry) and calling yourself Baratheons would likely be confusing and allow them to try and confuse legitimacy like Stannis tries to do. It is probably intended as "Lannisters are taking over!" Though
One thing you have to give it to Stannis: whatever he demands, he does it first himself.
yes he is the first to ride on the boat its hard to see a king like that
“Sometimes right, sometimes wrong… but always certain”
A true leader is Stannis. What a character.

Love the Hound's reaction.
As a man who's been burned and knows that pain, watching hundreds if not thousands of other men simultaneously go up in flames and experience that same pain -without any warning - it seems like he might be connecting Tyrion the Dwarf to Gregor the Mountain in his mind, in this moment; and that this might be the first wave that rocks the boat in this battle, that makes him consider leaving the Lannisters to their fate.
Edmure Tully would have missed the ocean.
He'd have actuality hit someone by pure luck or bad luck for him :D
and probably nailed stannis in the face
Lol this comment is underrated
What are you talking about? Can some eloberate?
piyush garg at some point in season 1 or 2 Edmure Tully tries to deed his fathers (I think) funeral by setting the vessel on which his dads dead body is placed ablaze, by shooting flaming arrows at it. As dumb as he is,he misses all the shots so some other dude does it for of him.
"That Still Only Counts As One!!!!"
Wrong fantasy epic lmao
It gets really quiet and Tyrion suddenly hears Stannis yell that at them
Stannis: Gimli has played his little trick, it only counts as one
Stannis speech: Send forth all legions. Do not the stop the attack until the city is taken. Slay them all.
Lol 😂
"Come with me and take this city."
Simple. To the point, and said with authority. Stannis knows his position.
The one thing I've always hated about this scene is that it paints Davos in a bad light. In the books, Davos wasn't in charge of this naval engagement. He had no choice but to follow Stannis' current admiral, and Davos mentions that he has serious reservations about their plan. He wanted to leave the fleet out at sea and scout the blackwater. He also wanted the Lyseni pirate Sallador to take a more direct part in the battle, as Sallador's men had more experience as sailors and fighters. Unfortunately for Stannis and his army, Davos was treated as nothing more than an up-jumped old woman who had no taste for battle.
I always thought it made no sense that admitted non-fighter and Hand of the King Davos is on the front lines......
@@dksoulstice6040 well George RR Martin did write this episode.
@Anjelica Snorcket not enough budget( battle of Oxcross would've been great to see) they were saving it for Blackwater episode. I also wanted battle of the whispering wood and green fork in s1 but again budget reasons.

And bronn was thinking 'What have I done?! '. Would be interested to know what does that say abt his character???
Sandor wasn't horrified for the same reason as Tyrion. He is a pyrophobe because his brother the mountain held his face in the fire as children.
@@180190ful Yes, one of the best parts of the scene, even Bronn is shook by what he's done.
@@gagewileman9434 I think the Hound was terrified for both reasons - his phobia and the sheer destruction. Although he is a "by any means necessary" guy, he still has some principles and I think one of those is along the lines of: In battle, men should die by the sword, swiftly, not tortured by magic.
Don’t forget about podrick

The restraint it must have taken not to use the WIlhelm scream for that...
That moment when Tyrion realizes two things: 1. Joffrey is erect and 2. It's the screams of the men that is exciting him, not the fire.
Holy fuck 🤮🤣
Ewww....
😂😂😂😭😭
Actually that's quite befitting of his character, seeing what he does do with a crossbow, at short range, later on ...
I think its also him realizing what the mad king had in store for king's landing (when he looks at the pyromancer)
Haha remember when GoT battles were fought with tactics and logic?
I almost would have preferred the Battle of Winterfell to be like the Battle of Oxcross, back when they didn't have the budget for a battle. Just time skip to the end of the battle and Arya wiping Night King blood or ice chips or whatever he has, off her sword.
Yeah and when characters died in an epic way
*thousands*
Well, not Stannis.
When you are versing mindless hordes of zombies there are no tactics or logic that will work. The dothraki probs shouldn't have charged headlong but otherwise it was pretty standard military tactics for that level of fighting and tech
''There is no creature on this Earth half so terrifying as a truly just man.'' It captivates Stannis. The way he nods his head when the knight says ''Hundreds will die.'', shows that it truly doesn't matter to him how many will die so long as justice has been served.
He knows that it is a battle, men die in battle and indeed already have. But what else do you do to win
His facial expression seems to be one of "you're not technically wrong but also not entirely right," and demonstrates that he had already thought it through by correcting him.
Odd use of the word- “justice”.

Love how these early series were written. Even in a chaotic battle scene, the show finds an opportunity to teach us about the main characters using their reactions to the wildfire: Bronn and the Hound, tough soldiers are nonetheless shaken by the force they’ve unleashed, revealing a humanity we hadn’t really seen in them yet. Joff and the pyromancer are sadists, excited by all the horror. And empathetic Tyrion is more interested and disturbed by the reactions of those around him.
Very good observations ! ... I might be willing to cut the pyromancer some slack as ....we know nothing about him as a rounded-character ....and presumably his skill and knowledge has been used to protect the city against what they might percieve as a murderous and savage attack : the craftsman has seen his tools utilised effectively .....Joff of course is beyond any such "slack" ....
I love the Hounds face at 3:30, like he's just seen the gates of hell open before him and his worst nightmares become reality.

Looking back on everything, who else wishes stanis had sacked king’s landing and taken the iron throne?
Well, I don't mind if stannis soldiers "having fun" with cersei while sacking the keep. But it means sansa will be dead in that moment. Kinda had split feeling about this

The thing about this scene that is so fantastic, is that it is inherently horrifying for all involved. Even the defenders are shaken by the slaughter.
Yeah, because if a weapon like that exists, they can imagine it one day being used against them. That is true horror.
Several things I LOVE in this scene 1. Sandor's reactions to the fire 2. The break in the voice of Stannis's officer when he says "But the wild~fire..." 3. "Thousands" (that line I've watched over and over and I never tire of it) 4. Stannis is the first down the ladder. This scene catapulted Stannis up my list of the most interesting character's in the series.
2:52
Bronn may be a cutthroat but even he seems moved, even disturbed by the sight of all that carnage.
4:15 The despair in the voice of that Officer really makes you think and feel how terrible running into battle will be.
I appreciate that they make the effort to show the wildfire touching off regular fires, and repeatedly show wildfire and regular fire in the same frame instead of just slapping a filter on all of it.
I love how Tyrion's armour incorporates a bit of book lore: the symbol of the Hand of the King is a golden chain of office of hands linking together. It's emblazoned on Tyrion's breastplate. In the show, they just use a pin with a single hand on it instead.
I never noticed that before, and I’m not quite thru ASOS. Gotta say, tho - I prefer the show’s pin
I won't lie, what really gave me chills the first time I saw this wasn't the explosion or screaming that followed; it was the look on Stannis' face right before he replied "thousands."
This was one of the most painful scenes in the show. WHY did stannis have to lose? Probably the second greatest tragedy of the show (following season 8).
Stand and fight! Stand and fight damn you! *gets dragged off by soldiers* Noooooo!!!!!!!

@@77777Spooky True, but not really a "tragedy" on storytelling level. Robb had lost the war.

I remember watching this scene for the first time right after it came out. It was amazing. Nowdays we take these grand battle scenes on TV for granted but at the time this was a spectacle. And combined with those rich characters, dialogues and storylines... What a great show this was!
The thing I like about Stannis, he never retreat. He keeps on fighting, even in S5E10 where it was the end of him. Such a badass
He was a fool not to retreat when he knew he didn't have a chance of winning against the Boltons. Basically he committed suicide and took his remaining troops with him.
@@maggiesmith856 it's not Stannis fault that Bolton got some magic cavalry and infinite stack of food for no reason.
@@jamie_d0g978 Bad guys have the worst plot armour in this show and always have. Always hated people claiming this is a show where anything can happen to anyone, when Bolton had all the magic powers in the world to keep living and winning whilst he was fulfilling the role of "series antagonist". Same with Cersei.
@Jamie_ D0G it is his fault he kept listening to that crazy bish. He lost half his army for burning his daughter alive and he killed his own brother. He deserved to lose.
That wide shot on 3:05 is great. Great shot on showing the vast scale of chaos and damage from the wildfire.
Love how it shows that the old guy and Joffrey are smiling like idiots while Tyrion and the hound look on with horror.

I really missed Stannis. Between the show and the books, he was the "king" I liked most. And oh yeah, he was actually the TRUE heir to the throne.
He had his fans, despite his total lack of charm, his murder of his brother by blood magic and his fondness for burning "heretics", but burning your own sweet little daughter at the stake is crossing the line. Actually, a Baratheon with Stannis/ Robert's warrior skills, Stannis' sense of duty and Renly's charm would have made a great king.
@@maggiesmith856yeah but I doubt book stannis would do that also I think renly was going to kill him first at least in the books

Why don't we get these kind of battle ideas for the battle of winterfell instead of sending dothraki armies to get slaughtered. Old tyrion was probably the best strategist in the 7 kingdoms.
Can’t emphasize this enough
Because Battle of Blackwater Bay was written by G.R.R Martin and not incopetent creators of the show. By the way even Blackwater Bay was slightliy simplified in the show.
because writers lol
Because the brains of the show stopped writing 2 seasons ago.
If not for Tyrion Stannis would have been in full control of King's Landing by the time Twying and the Tyrells arrived. And if not for Tyrion's mountain clans killing Stannis's scouts, they wouldn't even have been able to surprise Stannis.

To be fair you can tell moments (specially from the boats) where the uploader edited the video and raised the brightness
PinkGuy VEVO No it was dumb. They took it too far. I tried turning up the brightness on my tv, adjusting settings, turning off all the lights in the room and it didn’t make a difference. I couldn’t see what was going on in many scenes. I gotta tell you, there’s nothing less intense than staring at a blank screen.

I love that Stannis was the first one in the boat and the first one to start climbing the ladders
The horror on Tyrions face when he sees the effects of the Wildfire
I love how Bronn almost regrets what he’s just done
Pretty sure he was just mesmerised and didn't regret anything!
"I didn't ask for enough gold for this."
I think this is part of the reason people like Stannis. He's cold, he's unsympathetic, he's ruthless. But he's not a hypocrite or a coward. He's on the front line fighting for his own cause. Whether you think the cause is right or wrong, he's at least willing to put himself on the line for it.
