The best scene in the show. So powerful, such a great monologue from an amazing actor. Jaime has always been a tragic hero judged for the wrong things. I feel like Ned just spited him because he was a Lannister. I wish the original soundtrack was only though not this added music even if it's beautiful.
Well that and Ned was hailed as the most honorable and it was a lie. He lied about John and he lied about his great victory in a duel to save his sister. Jamie is shit on for his most heroic moment and Ned is loved for his least. They mention Ned being honorable as much as they call Jamie a kingslayer.
My favorite character, until they destroyed him in the last couple of seasons. So cleverly written by George RR Martin, I hope he gives his character arc a more worthy ending in the final books.
4 years later i know. But if Jaime didn't care about the innocents, he would never have hunted down every single remaining apprentice pyromancer after Robert took the thrown. Jaime literally spent weeks killing them all off.
@@stoifan91yep, he does care about the innocent people being slaughtered, but doesn’t care about the feelings people have towards him, especially when they already think they know who he is as “Kingslayer”. He won’t bother clearing his name for his honor is to himself.
Now finally after 4 years of completing game of thrones, i understand this great great scene and a super art of acting. When he says, "BY WHAT RIGHT DOES THE WOLF JUDGE THE LION"
It is an amazing metaphor how can ned stark who fights for honor and justice judge jaime who did the same thing just under different circumstances how does the wolf who protects and kills for his pack (the house of stark) judge the lion (the house of lannister) for doing the same
"And me, that boy I was...when did he die, I wonder? When I donned the white cloak? When I opened Aerys's throat? That boy had wanted to be Ser Arthur Dayne, but someplace along the way he had become the Smiling Knight instead." -- Jaime reflecting to himself
Why does everyone hate this guy?! He killed the man who was going to kill them all because he went insane! He should have been honored as the Savior of the King’s Landing.
One of the reasons why this is the best season in the show is because it is verbatim, almost word for word the exact same dialogue as how the scene plays out in the book. Even the setting and staging is the same. Funny how the show just started to suck constantly when the writers got full of themselves and decided to take the characters in “new” directions
I think of all the one scenes that really change a character and the story narrative. This i think showed that Jamie did save the capital of the realm and possibly an act that saved the most people short of those who planned to stop the white walkers and the lich king. He at a very young age, strayed from his duty and oath to do what was right for those that could not protect themselves. If that isn't the mark of a lord or moreover a king, i don't know what is.
I know I am late but to me honor does not apply in a save yourself situations your instincts to survive will always come first whatever battles you fought if your the one alive then you fought well no matter what tactics you use or deception you applied Ned stark was honorable because he wanted to do right by others not realising the threats of the opposition
So rebelling against the king is ok, but killing him is not? I mean...what logic is that. What would the rebels have done to him? They'd have killed him, surely.
loved his story arc, love compexcity of his character yes he did terrible things. but at the saae time he did good things. this was some spot on acting by nikolhi

*Jamie try to explain why he shouldn't be judge to kill Aeris Targaryen*
Brienne: Help... the kiNGsLAyeR.
Brienne: Help Jaime!
Others: Who tf is Jaime?
Brienne: Help! The kiNGsLAYeR!
Jaime: Bitch, did you not hear a word i said?

The coolest motivation for a character ever, pissed away by crappy hbo writers

Pood
he forgot to add "jk I never really cared about the innocents"

@@Raj-qh7ic This scene made Jaime into a human being. If only the show had maintained this level of quality throughout.
@@andyb1653 what a masterpiece it would have been
"And me, that boy I was...when did he die, I wonder? When I donned the white cloak? When I opened Aerys's throat? That boy had wanted to be Ser Arthur Dayne, but someplace along the way he had become the Smiling Knight instead." -- Jaime reflecting to himself
Oh man such great inner dialogue. Shame the show can’t capture the emotions from the books
Why does everyone hate this guy?! He killed the man who was going to kill them all because he went insane! He should have been honored as the Savior of the King’s Landing.
Well he did try to kill a kid.....
@@shadowbandit3975 I meant the people he saved when he killed The Mad King
@@master-of-many-fandoms2020 I don't think anyone actually knows that beyond himself and Brienne here. They just know he's an oathbreaker.
He never said anything. And when they found Jamie, he was sitting on the kings chair looking smug.
@@EdertheJust Then why didn’t he say anything to present his case?

Best scene in the whole f*cking show.
This is the scene made me like Jaime Lannister ❤️
Made him my favorite character. I liked him before this. Just this made him my favorite
The greatest sin of season 8 was trying to recon this scene.
Why the stock music?
This moment was powerful with the truth.
“The honorable Ned Stark”
Meanwhile: Ned Stark had one of his men stabbed Arthur Dane in the back
Honor is not always a good thing to have.
Or... did he???
Ehhh not really confirmed in the books yet

Understand jamie understand wgat hr did and y ❤
I will never forgive how the writers completely killed his arc. To me - the best of the series.
Mortem regibus et tyrannus. One should never be ashamed of a title “kingslayer”.
Music?
only good version on youtube, but has elevator background music 😭😭
Thanks for ruining the scene with stock music.
Yeah man, you are right. It seemed cool when I did it 5 years ago, but when I look at it now it is ruined.
@@Skrba24 I thought it was really cool and effective actually
@@Skrba24 please can you send me a link to the stock music
Well this is a waist of time now isn’t it
Adding the music was unnecessary. Scene was powerful enough.
wtf is it she says before "[...] the kingsslayer!" ?
It's either, "Someone, help!" or "Help! Help!"
Way to ruin an intimate and classic scene. Music is horrible.
