The drowning ritual of the Greyjoys is one of the most original and clever things I have read in any story. Drowning a man then resuscitating them so they can live by their words, what is dead may never die, but rises again, harder stronger. epic stuff from a master story teller.
@@akaneh1989yeahhh but most pastors/priests don’t fully drown you while everyone watches to see if you’re powerful enough to cough up all the water and save yourself
Jack Gleeson's reading in this brings me back in such a great way. I could listen to his smug narration all damn day. I truly miss him and his Joffrey.

That's because you'd rather believe in the world of fairytales than reality. There's a reason why the statement "Truth is stranger than fiction" exists. Stop watching YT videos and read a book once in a while. You'll start to see that, no matter the country, there's always tales of deceit, triumph, shame, defeat and victory to be found.
@@leftovercrass5210 I believe he was talking about a channel that would have the same type of serious narration and also animation that makes the telling way more captivating
@@s.khilan6047 yep. I understood that perfectly. Those channels I gave you are animated one way, if you follow then down the rabbit hole you'll find more with different animations. You will not see the same quality animations by TH-cam creators because these are special features from the GOT DVDs and would have cost the studio hundreds of thousands to create.
He has the style of speaking as a 19-year old in college answering a question in class while slouching in their chair and sounding like they just chain-smoked 3 cigarettes in a row, trying to add rasp to their voice to sound...better? It gets annoying. Just speak normally, the rasp takes obvious effort.
These videos are so good thet bring you closer to the characters and see there inter workings even in these videos Petyr Baelish is still the master of smoothness and skillful maneuvers!!!!
Opens up a crazy wormhole of self hate. He had heard the rumors but didn't believe them... But had he lived longer and been more given to introspection, he might have come to realize. It would have went one of two ways, self-hatred that lead to even more extreme sadism or extreme religious fanaticism-driven purges.
Awesome video and great information on the history and lore of GoT. I'm glad I found this after watching all the seasons, really helps to fill in the gaps.
Man, narrations and background stories are just awesome. I HAVE to buy the fricking books too now. I already own the dvd's but I want MORE! Reminds me of star wars, who knows if this series may still be up and running 10 years from now?
Maergery Tyrell just said. "Now that Westeros is in Ashes, the reach will pick up the slack" or something along those lines She just gave away the ending, literally
So we know that King Aegon built the iron throne to be sharp so that one would have to be cautious when sitting and thus be cautious in ruling. But how the hell was Maegor so mental?
The responses already written are amusing, and possibly all the truth we need know, but I will offer a different explanation. Maegor was the son of the Conqueror and his sister Visenya, but he was a Second son, and thus was never intended to rule. He was also tall, strong and bullish, and excelled in all the martial skills. Despite his "pure" Targaryen blood, Maegor had few physical defects stemming from inbreeding...at least not visible. I suspect he was afflicted ny the same pituitary mutation as Gregor Clegane. Whilenit gave Maegor and Gregor size and strength, it also can lead to intense physical pain which manifests as violent outbursts. Look long enough at the character and actions of the two men, and the similarities are not difficult to compare. Just a thought.
Just shows you how much Varys and LF believed in "Playing the Game". Varys won and Littlefinger lost, all because Baelish wanted to be "King of the Ashes". He fucked over the Starks too many times.
"First through the breach and all that. It's amazing what boldness and a full bladder can inspire." Thoros giving The Blackfish and Bronn a good run for their money in the best line.
+UploaderNine Don't worry, Barristan said in the Histories and Lore of Season 5 that he wanted to die serving a worthy monarch, and he rightfully believed he had found that in Daenerys.. :)
In the books, hes about to lead a huge battle at Meereen and he's acting as hand of the queen for dany while she's away with drogon. Hes an awesome character, his are often my favourite POV chapters in dance. Always waxing lyrical about being old and remembering really important stuff about roberts rebellion
Littlefingers voice is My favourite 😍 I would listen to his voice for hours 😁 if I could. Nice he's featured twice and his argument with Varys are so cool
The TV show didn't present Grey Worm and The Unsullied as legit as they should have. Most don't know Unsullied defeated the Dothraki, not to mention The Unsullied were outnumbered. Man that's G!
1:50 I dislike the fact that the writer gave the impression that LittleFinger was ignorant enough to ask this question. That is beneath him, and his cunning and intellect. He NEVER would have asked this question, especially to Varys. These are the two smartest, sneakiness, and tactful men in all of Westerose. I don't agree that LittleFinger would have actually asked this question, unless, it just happened to be meant as almost a sarcastic remark (just to make the statement that the Mad King was, in fact, Mad, or something, and did rational things. But the implication of that wasn't strong enough for most people to get it, especially due to Varys's response to him, "You know damn well a feud doesn't end unless all of the insulted or wrongfully persecuted party/family is completely exinguished." That was basically what his reply was. I just.....didn't like it. It was NOT in his character.
I really love listening to Brynden Tully. The Blackfish was always one of my favorite characters. He came off as a grizzled and more than slightly bitter old fisherman. The kind of man who had seen more of the world than he ever wanted or cared to see and had achieved a fatalistic wisdom along with a no-nonsense attitude. A man to whom brutal honesty went much farther than flattery and compliments. If ever there was a character that deserved to survive the Song of Ice and Fire, it was Brynden the Blackfish. Alas...
I hope we get to see the Neck in the last season. It's seems so low-key, secluded, and cozy for a swampy land in the North to get wrapped up in all the war and strife. I imagine it will be difficult for the Dead to cross those swamps without sinking.
Ares saw knives in every shadow... Like the knived assassin Melisandre used to kill Stannis... Maybe he wasn't mad, maybe he just knew the red priests had it out for him and he knew how they'd try and kill him?
Bran telling how he used to like scary stories but it s n now in one, SO True!! I survived (barely): a gang Neverland in Detroit, and can't watch sad or depressing now. This gets in bc it's fantasy lol
From the dry wit and humour of the Blackfish, to the battle of wits between the Spider and Littlefinger, these characters brought life to their stories.
petyrs death was a joke. the build up was horrendous and nonsensical and to have him killed the actually nerfed him. he was unreasonably dumbed down in season 7. also, having him killed that way after everything he has done throughout the seasons was anticlimactic as fuck
Man I'm dumb. I just realized... "The late Lord Frey" - it's not that Walder didn't come on time when asked, it's like Hoster was saying "You might as well be dead, what with how useless you've been."

peep Jon Snow pause at 3:22 when saying "My...Father". Not sure if it's because his father died or because they're trying to throw a little hint.
THAT's littlefinger
It's because he was about to say "my family" until he remembered he's not a Stark. It's his "father's" family.
Andrew Martinez wow, what an insight to what everyone already knows.
