Weird how Nymeria and her pack hasn't been mentioned in the show at all... in the books people constantly talk about them ravaging the countryside and also Arya wargs into her at night when she sleeps. Nymeria is also the one who finds Catlyn's corpse. Man, they cut out too much interesting stuff later on.
@@HumansFreshlyBorn i think what he meant was in the books when arya and nymeria meet it will have subtext and foreshadowing while in the show it was how you saw it with none of that
This was one of the first things that majorly disappointed me with the show when I was like 14. Besides Talisa and Lady Stoneheart and all the gratuitous rape and nudity of course…
@@miketrujillo3677 Right... that scene in season 7 was weirdly out of place and meaningless. I bet the majority of viewers forgot all about Arya's wolf at that point since it hasn't been in the show for more than a couple of scenes.
i love early seasons arya and book arya. d&d making her into a robot assassin flattened her character into a pancake. arya's struggle with her womanhood/identity + journey to her home/family makes her interesting! anyway, little maisie was so good and had great chemistry with sean bean.
I agree with all of this! I used to be kind of indifferent about her character (I was more of a Sansa fan and got into this series as a whole gradually), but now I am like “hey she could have been interesting if they showed her trying really hard to get home because I could see her actively doing that unlike Sansa who was more trapped and a sense of accomplishment when that happened”. Her idea of once again leaving Westeros at the end really doesn’t make sense when you would think that if they did her character right late in the series, she kind of like Sansa would be happy to get back. That she would be happy to stay in one place instead of being on the move all the time as she grew into womanhood. Also it would have been interesting to see what she would have done with the journey of womanhood once she was finally back in a safe place - her childhood home. But instead we got a few yaaaas Queen moments and her leaving Gendry after they finally acted on their sexual tension, instead of joining their houses and staying with the one guy she ever cared for which would have made more sense for the story. The greatest chemistry with Sean Bean 🥰
What irks me the most is she had this multi season arc about identity, and she left the house of "you're nothing" with a big "I'm Arya, fuck this house, I'm going home", and then she turned into the emotionless nothing she just rebelled against. It's like she's a faceless novice doing a poor job of being Arya
It’s interesting, rewatching her early season stuff and I’m thinking “was she actually a better actor as a child?”. She emotes more, has more emotional range.. but I suppose the easy answer is the Arya part just got significantly worse. The Tyrion effect.
It was pretty adorable when she says “are you dying because of your leg?” because she sounds so concerned and in an 11 year old’s mind that would make sense.
In all seriousness, this is again a fantastic video. These readings are genuinely fascinating and make Season 1 better and better. Glidus, are you gonna use these powers for stuff after GoT? We all gotta move away from it at some point, and while I'd love if it was years and years more videos before you left it, I wonder if you're gonna do stuff like writing books or movies or whatever. I'm just a rando, but I'd love to see it.
Thank you for validating my silently-held belief that the actress portraying Lyanna looks like Emilia Clarke without her Targaryen accoutrements - it's the face caterpillars. Also also, I hope 29:48 - that you'll be making a triumphant return to theory videos at some point. You had a way of explaining theories and offering conjecture that was concise yet thorough and your more casual, jovial demeanor was a breath of fresh air in a community that often gets pretty self-indulgent when it comes to theories. I would literally pay you money. Like, more money. Commissions, even. Alsoddendum for shits and gigs, it's something of a common misconception that hollow bones automatically = weak. Due to the way the bones interlock within the body of birds such as pigeons, the potential structural weaknesses are mitigated via mutual support and the flexibility of both individual bones and of the skeleton as a whole compensate for the lesser density overall and provide protection against impacts from larger sources distributed across multiple bones, for instance from a car's windshield or from the blunt force of a starving and traumatized Stark girl - or in the case of avian badass Cher Ami from an 8mm German bullet and a handful of shrapnel. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cher_Ami The issue with the pigeons - as with all birds - is the size and not so much their bone structure. Small things just require less effort to break. Take the rabbit, for instance. Despite often being quite THICC and having a bone structure and density not built for flight, it's as if their anatomy was designed to be easily killed and eaten - famously requiring a single cut to skin the animal, and a single strike between the shoulder blades to permanently incapacitate. Not that I would know anything about killing rabbits with my bare hands. I would never do that. I use a mallet.
I just became a subscriber. One reason, belly laughs. Something that doesn’t exist in my world anymore. You’ve given them back. Thank you and PLEASE do more.
I really enjoy these got reviews, the writing and editing is top tier and i truly agree with all the points Glidus makes. 10/10 needs more attention and love
Had a really melancholic day, and to see you uploading in my Subbox, brightened my day immensely. Hope you feel a bit better about editing all this. I think many here would be happy to hear something personal from you. I dunno maybe an analysis of your favorite book or a movie you are nostalgic about or traumatized you. Thank you for still working on this all. GOT never left my mind after this disastrous end.
Jokes aside, I’m not sad we’ve waited so long because honestly the analysis is so good and it’s so satisfying to watch you explaining why we had dragon show good at some point. I always thought Arya’s arc was about coming home or uniting with her family and not about becoming badass assassin feminist icon and killing Rhae...I mean the Night King. So I’m glad you made a similar point. Thanks again. And now I’ll go rewatch the video about 87 times until the new comes up.
You did a whole series of GoT PissTakes. Idea: Could you do another series on the best episodes in the show, where you explain why these episodes are good? (The Rains of Castamere, The Winds of Winter, Blackwater, Battle of the Bastards, etc).
Battle of the Bastards and The Winds of Winter will be receiving the Pisstake treatment some day, along with all of seasons 5 and 6 (including fan favourite Hardhome). Some incredible moments especially in cinematography but I'm here to disect writing, and The Winds of Winter specifically is rather disastrous. Blackwater is my favourite episode and I look forward to explaining why some day, maybe as you suggest in some anti-pisstake setting. Akin to Mauler's unbridled rage and unbridled praise, I guess.
@@Glidus Honestly, I'm a little surprised with the view that BotB and WoW are shit in your opinion. I guess I just like those because: In BotB we get to see the Starks reclaim Winterfell, Ramsay getting beat to a pulp by Jon and then getting ripped apart his own dogs. In WoW we get to see Jon's true parentage revealed, Arya killing Walder, Cersei blowing up the Sept and killing everyone. However, I do respect your opinion, and I'm very much looking forward to your future video(s) on BotB and WoW
I didn't say they were shit. I was very unhappy with them at the time and thought "the show can't get any worse than this" but obviously I've had to re-evaluate that opinion since then. I'm not going to get into it now, but there's certainly no issue with you liking those plot points you listed.
@@nathanwang9007 bro... the thing with the Battle of Bastards is that it completely destroys any chance of joy for Starks. Jon fucks up so much, loses everything. Sansa who could tell him about the Vale forces and save so many loyal lives chooses not to do so because fuck you. Lord Stark (my boy Rickon) fucking dies and no one cares. Then Starks lose the battle. Then Baelish fucking destroys the Boltons. What's funny is that Ramsay made their job so much easier by killing Roose and deciding to take out his army outside of the walls, yet they still fucked up. I love Starks but they did nothing worthy in season 6. Their come back was pathetic.
Im sick and I saw this and screamed and now my throat hurts. Worth it. Been re-watching all your GOT Review and Pisstakes cus i missed it... That's how good this guy is. Edited to fit in.
I'm ashamed that I somehow missed another Gildus masterpiece in my subscriptions. Amazing video, as always though. You make the best ASOIAF and GoT videos, and help keep my interest in the series as we wait for Winds.
This is such brilliant writing AND editing - just fantastic content, from one that has made the rounds on the TH-cam/ASOIAF wheel. Great job!! Can't wait to watch all the Song and Thrones content you've provided
I always wonder why these take so long, but then you go out of your wake to edit these down to 40 minutes, insert memes, add in twist and twixt, go over lines, write a script, and then WRITE A SONG THAT IS SUCH A BOP THAT I GO TO YOUR OTHER CHANNEL TO LISTEN TO IT. You are a king, and I hope you write amazing stories, and songs. I hope that you do what Biblaridion does, and show us one of your own worlds with world-building, or make an alien society based story.. I dunno. I just know that whatever you do, it will be filled with work, details, and it will be amazing.
Fact 1: Glidus used Rush music in some of his older videos. Fact 2: In this video he used Plants vs. Zombies music. Fact 3: Glidus has now referenced frickin' bionicles. Logical Conclusion: Glidus lives in my brain and has perfectly crafted this channel to appeal to me. Seriously though, your channel is totally underrated and one of my favorites. The random references to things I happen to also enjoy are just a bonus.
Arya in the earlier seasons is one of my favourites. Her relationship with Ned, Jory and her brothers and Nymeria and Syrio are very wholesome. ❤ little Maise was very cute.
Absolutely loved your PissTakes for both Season 7 & 8! Really excited that you’re continuing your GoT Review series. The editing is superb and I love your quips and commentary, great stuff man!
29:00 I live for the “I’ll make a man out of you” soundtrack in the background 31:03 “laughs in Quentin Martell” Don’t know wether I should be laughing or crying... maybe a bit of both xD :(
Most of the times, when funny clips are thrown in the video, i don't like them, but i have to say you have good taste in that regard, it's one of the first times i see them used well enough the video doesn't feel interrupted. Also, your editing and scriptwriting have improved A LOT.
I’m watching through these again and still love them and will probably watch them again later. I still can’t believe you used a Caddicarus reference, I love TH-camr’s referencing each other :D
@@Glidus The man has so many memorable quotes 😂 fell in love with his videos because of my adoration for his creativity and Crash Bandicoot much like yourself, I adore your humour and and writing not to mention your subtle swearing 👍
I know this is irrelevant overall to the video, but you have great taste in music. That Rayman ost bit in the background took me to a better place for a second lol.
27:50. I could see it being done very simply with a pan up from Arya in the forest above the trees and then we see a time lapse of sun rising and falling for 3 days and we hear the voices of people freaking out and going out to search for her. Than we we pull back down to Arya in rough shape
16:55 Okay, I'll bite. What is peladophobia? 28:41 Lol, is that _Be a Man_ from Mulan playing in the background? XD And your Little Kuriboh and Avatar references are just class. Hey, let's get a "Zuko Redemption Done Right," video!
@@Glidus - I did indeed, look it up. :D - Haha, my god, that's you singing? That's amazing! I knew it wasn't the orginal, but it's sounds like you're pretty good. Why though, lol? To avoid copyright? Or just for the sheer joy of singing one of Disney's best montage songs? - Glad we agree. - This is just a thought to compare Jamie's botched redemption arc with a character's that actually worked. Or do a video on Spuart, I don't know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I swear to God, if Glidus posted more often, the world would have reached the fucking Diamond age (or whatever is better than Platinum). Please Glidus, this is one of the only channels making me laugh GIVE ME MORE!!!
"If you haven't read the books and thought the show had gut punching moments *laughs in quentyn martell* I had this on in the background and looked up just in time to see that flash on screen, and now I can't decide if I'm sad all over again or if I wanna burst out laughing.
i just want you to know that i watched basically every single got review and pisstake video countless times while waiting for the next upload now i catch myself using your lines irl thanks glidus
The Diddy Kong Racing music I can’t! Little ( well littler) Arya was so cute I want to die. Would have loved to see more interaction between her and Robb and Jon
Despite her passing for a boy and having a lot of typically masculine interests, the romantic plot brought a nice balance to their characters. She’s a high born girl that has this friend that she cares about a lot and maybe some day they could be married. She doesn’t care about his social class, she just wants to be with him … they’ve traveled together for a while and she still likes him…. like end of the day she’s still just a young lady who wants the handsome guy to love her. Its pretty cute. I often liked the young love stories on this show because even if there was sexual tension, they showed more emotional range in my mind. There was more conflict and more reasons for us to care about the relationship. But that’s just me
i didn't watch their reunion because i don't want my headcanon to die in pain... a lot of people don't pick up on their romantic vibes in the book. i am not sure i registered on my first read either, but as soon as i did i was drawn in and read every arya chapter obsessively, and when you do that it is really hard to ignore, gendry's jealousy and arya's swooning over his muscles and just their overall attachement to each other... i think she is also jealous at some point GOD i gotta read it again, i want to see their reunion, plea- NO YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG STOP
people also are overly weirded out by their age gaps, gendry is 15 and Arya is 11max i think, but i definitely had crushes on 15 year olds as an 11 year old and they survive a lot of shit together, arya saves gendry's ass multiple times and has many skills that he lacks, so it makes a lot of sense that he doesn't think, yeah cute kid but soooo immature and childish, yanow, i don't think he feels older than her. Or more experienced or anything. And 4 years isn't even a lot, this kinde of ages gap grows out my gawd eye roll. in the show gendrys actor is in his young 20ies i think and arya really is in comparison definitely a child, so i get why the actors are weirded out
@@coralineschmidt1078yeaaaah when I first watched season 8 i rlly had to look up Maisie's age at the time because I genuinely thought she was at most 16 then
19:50 It should bring Glidus great pleasure to know that I was doing something else and only listening to the audio yet I still dropped what I was doing to very loudly say "tHaT's NoT mE" when i heard the line
I think that connecting Syrio to the faceless men is a bad idea. It messes up the contrast of Syrio to the faceless men and muddies the waters. To elaborate, Syrio was a bravo, who are swordsmen who dress up in flamboyant colors and duel each other for honor at the drop of a hat. Syrio's greatest title is that he was the First Sword to the Sea Lord and he explicitly both says that he never runs and later dies protecting Arya. He also says that he was First Sword because he had the best sight and there's one major reason why the Sea Lord would want his bodyguard to have great sight. To say that Syrio is an antithesis to a faceless man is a tremendous understatement. That one, show only, line about the god of death is the entire reason why people think Syrio is a faceless man.
My dude, I hung with you through the long dry-spell that was post-Pisstake 8 Glidus. Compared to that I didn't even notice that this one took a minute. I've since learned how to use a straw to suck up the remnants of your content that's fallen on the carpet to keep me going when you ain't dealing.
The “that’s not me” line bothers me. In the book, it didn’t feel to me like she was asserting her gender non conformity, or strength, or some agency over her future. It sounded more just like a frustrated petulant child going “god dad can you even tell me and Sansa apart?” Like she wasn’t even thinking about it, she just automatically assumes he’s thinking of the wrong daughter and corrects him, that’s how much she kinda takes her identity for granted. I feel like it’s partly because she’s aged up in the show, and maybe a kid that age is more aware of the significance of the whole exchange. Idk, my interpretation. The “that’s not you” line made me feel queasy 🤷♀️
That's quite true. Book Arya isn't really about gender non conformity, it's really more about being different from Sansa. Sansa and her are very different but also quite young so, as siblings do, they fight and get jealous when their parents recognise the other more. Arya is jealous of Sansa for being so good at all the lady stuff because their parents want them to do well but it's just not her thing. Sansa, on the other hand, is frustrated at the fact that Arya can just do whatever she wants (fighting, getting covered in dirt etc) without it really bothering their parents while Sansa makes so much efforts to conform. It's really just two children seeing how the other gets their parents' attention without realising they're getting a lot too. It's a bit sad that D&D decided it wasn't so much about family and more about gender.
@@lastquarter3992 I agree. Because people were like “oh my gosh she’s such a girl boss and a revolutionary character” and I wanted to understand her character but aside from her bits with the Hound I couldn’t get the hype (my ticket into this show was the Sansa-Tyrion storyline, followed by Dany-Ser Jorah and then the Mormonts thanks to Daemon Blackfyre). We have had warrior women as a part of our lore at the very latest since Joan of Arc. So that archetype is something we have seen before and really, Arya’s story isn’t so much about being a warrior to me. To me, I think people liked Arya because they saw she was true to herself. That’s something that can resonate regardless of gender. If anything I remember guys talking more about how much they liked Arya’s character than girls. A more interesting statement than trying to push her as a progressive kind of character in my mind would be “what do guys recognize about the character that makes her strong character?” Is it that she hasn’t got Ned around anymore? That she’s a contradiction of both innocence, toughness and arrested development? I think Dave and Dan want to be progressive but they fail: Arya basically became a plot device than anything at the end and that is not a leadership quality or an empowering archetype of femininity. And don’t even get me started with the whole idea of being raped made Sansa a capable leader because that was just messed up
yeah this line gets totally overblown... and then they use it to excuse to never show nymeria again, i had such blue balls for that reunion and then it's just over... and people where like, oooh so deep, amazing, that's not YOU like season 1, ooo i think this is when i realized that got wasn't gonna be good anymore. At the timr i was really alone with that realization. the good thing about the overly bad ending is that we all can agree on the bad shit and i don't feel overly nitpicky anymore
11:38 - Nina Gold is very good at her job. Since this video she casted the supporting characters for Andor, a huge cast that populate multiple storylines that are so in tune with the tone of their different worlds. In interview Tony Gilroy gave her the credit for making his job (when directing) easy.
Book Tommen and Myrcella are absolutely precious, especially when they respond to Joffrey saying they're childish with "We ARE children!"
You just reminded me of Tommen's little joust. So damn sweet. All hail King Tommen Beetbane Baratheon.
She even made the Hound laugh with that line.

Alsoddendum for shits and gigs, it's something of a common misconception that hollow bones automatically = weak. Due to the way the bones interlock within the body of birds such as pigeons, the potential structural weaknesses are mitigated via mutual support and the flexibility of both individual bones and of the skeleton as a whole compensate for the lesser density overall and provide protection against impacts from larger sources distributed across multiple bones, for instance from a car's windshield or from the blunt force of a starving and traumatized Stark girl - or in the case of avian badass Cher Ami from an 8mm German bullet and a handful of shrapnel. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cher_Ami
The issue with the pigeons - as with all birds - is the size and not so much their bone structure. Small things just require less effort to break. Take the rabbit, for instance.

Jokes aside, I’m not sad we’ve waited so long because honestly the analysis is so good and it’s so satisfying to watch you explaining why we had dragon show good at some point.
I always thought Arya’s arc was about coming home or uniting with her family and not about becoming badass assassin feminist icon and killing Rhae...I mean the Night King. So I’m glad you made a similar point. Thanks again.
And now I’ll go rewatch the video about 87 times until the new comes up.
You did a whole series of GoT PissTakes.
Idea:
Could you do another series on the best episodes in the show, where you explain why these episodes are good?
(The Rains of Castamere, The Winds of Winter, Blackwater, Battle of the Bastards, etc).
Don’t think he likes bastard
Battle of the Bastards and The Winds of Winter will be receiving the Pisstake treatment some day, along with all of seasons 5 and 6 (including fan favourite Hardhome). Some incredible moments especially in cinematography but I'm here to disect writing, and The Winds of Winter specifically is rather disastrous.
Blackwater is my favourite episode and I look forward to explaining why some day, maybe as you suggest in some anti-pisstake setting. Akin to Mauler's unbridled rage and unbridled praise, I guess.
@@Glidus Honestly, I'm a little surprised with the view that BotB and WoW are shit in your opinion.
I guess I just like those because: In BotB we get to see the Starks reclaim Winterfell, Ramsay getting beat to a pulp by Jon and then getting ripped apart his own dogs. In WoW we get to see Jon's true parentage revealed, Arya killing Walder, Cersei blowing up the Sept and killing everyone.
However, I do respect your opinion, and I'm very much looking forward to your future video(s) on BotB and WoW
I didn't say they were shit. I was very unhappy with them at the time and thought "the show can't get any worse than this" but obviously I've had to re-evaluate that opinion since then. I'm not going to get into it now, but there's certainly no issue with you liking those plot points you listed.
@@nathanwang9007 bro... the thing with the Battle of Bastards is that it completely destroys any chance of joy for Starks. Jon fucks up so much, loses everything. Sansa who could tell him about the Vale forces and save so many loyal lives chooses not to do so because fuck you. Lord Stark (my boy Rickon) fucking dies and no one cares. Then Starks lose the battle. Then Baelish fucking destroys the Boltons.
What's funny is that Ramsay made their job so much easier by killing Roose and deciding to take out his army outside of the walls, yet they still fucked up. I love Starks but they did nothing worthy in season 6. Their come back was pathetic.
Im sick and I saw this and screamed and now my throat hurts. Worth it. Been re-watching all your GOT Review and Pisstakes cus i missed it... That's how good this guy is.
Edited to fit in.
Comparing the rewatchability of the Pisstakes (I'm on my 4th run) to the show (most shows actually) reality pits things into perspective.
You know, I won't skip the ads for once, just because I'm happy to see you making more content
You dare believe I haven't seen your other masterpieces?
Preposterous.
I'm ashamed that I somehow missed another Gildus masterpiece in my subscriptions. Amazing video, as always though. You make the best ASOIAF and GoT videos, and help keep my interest in the series as we wait for Winds.
This is such brilliant writing AND editing - just fantastic content, from one that has made the rounds on the TH-cam/ASOIAF wheel. Great job!! Can't wait to watch all the Song and Thrones content you've provided
I always wonder why these take so long, but then you go out of your wake to edit these down to 40 minutes, insert memes, add in twist and twixt, go over lines, write a script, and then WRITE A SONG THAT IS SUCH A BOP THAT I GO TO YOUR OTHER CHANNEL TO LISTEN TO IT.
You are a king, and I hope you write amazing stories, and songs.
I hope that you do what Biblaridion does, and show us one of your own worlds with world-building, or make an alien society based story.. I dunno. I just know that whatever you do, it will be filled with work, details, and it will be amazing.
I already thumbed up because I don't need to watch the video to know it's gonna be good. It's a Glidus GOT video.....
Same
omg man i clicked this so fast. been rewatching the other vids since i recently finished a rewatch of (most of) GoT
literal same.
Fact 1: Glidus used Rush music in some of his older videos.
Fact 2: In this video he used Plants vs. Zombies music.
Fact 3: Glidus has now referenced frickin' bionicles.
Logical Conclusion: Glidus lives in my brain and has perfectly crafted this channel to appeal to me.
Seriously though, your channel is totally underrated and one of my favorites. The random references to things I happen to also enjoy are just a bonus.
I’m genuinely infuriated that I was never recommended this and had to look it up even though I’m subscribed
me too >:(
Arya in the earlier seasons is one of my favourites. Her relationship with Ned, Jory and her brothers and Nymeria and Syrio are very wholesome. ❤ little Maise was very cute.
I skipped out on my uncle's funeral to watch this in private. R.I.P Uncle Bruce
That's how good the content is
RIP
Absolutely loved your PissTakes for both Season 7 & 8! Really excited that you’re continuing your GoT Review series. The editing is superb and I love your quips and commentary, great stuff man!
When you pointed out that the last things ned did before he died was save arya and then sansa awoke deep sadness within me.
"I don't see the problem with zutara honestly"
"Good thing you're about to die"
I call that solid justice to be fair.
“They didn’t even know the Bionicles, Dad!” I missed you, Glidus!
i forget how much i absolutely love these videos between each one and i’m pleasantly surprised every single time.
I'm watching this while at my father's funeral. That's how good this guy is.
Your videos crack me up so much. Thanks for making the funniest reviews I’ve seen. Love it
29:00 I live for the “I’ll make a man out of you” soundtrack in the background
31:03 “laughs in Quentin Martell” Don’t know wether I should be laughing or crying... maybe a bit of both xD :(
Your use of music is awesome! I recognized all of it, and for some reason I kept getting goosebumps.
Most of the times, when funny clips are thrown in the video, i don't like them, but i have to say you have good taste in that regard, it's one of the first times i see them used well enough the video doesn't feel interrupted.
Also, your editing and scriptwriting have improved A LOT.
I just love, LOVE your usage of TFS sound bytes. Perfect Cell commenting on child murder is pure gold. :D
PvZ music during a GoT video? God you really are the best youtuber
I’m watching through these again and still love them and will probably watch them again later. I still can’t believe you used a Caddicarus reference, I love TH-camr’s referencing each other :D
Man. Caddy might be my favourite creator on here. Been watching him for like a decade. Guy is a legend.
@@Glidus The man has so many memorable quotes 😂 fell in love with his videos because of my adoration for his creativity and Crash Bandicoot much like yourself, I adore your humour and and writing not to mention your subtle swearing 👍
@@Glidus th-cam.com/video/zpAVy7k3ZcY/w-d-xo.html 👀👀
I know this is irrelevant overall to the video, but you have great taste in music. That Rayman ost bit in the background took me to a better place for a second lol.
This is one of the best channels on TH-cam. I am very very fond of your work, Glidus.
I've been waithing for this one
27:50. I could see it being done very simply with a pan up from Arya in the forest above the trees and then we see a time lapse of sun rising and falling for 3 days and we hear the voices of people freaking out and going out to search for her. Than we we pull back down to Arya in rough shape
These reviews are such a pleasure to watch, nice work!
"Watches the beneding" XD
K.O
You sir, are a master of funny
dude this is the best GoT content on youtube right now, or atleast my favorite at the current moment
sincerely warms my heart, thank you
Thanks for returning to us glidus. Love ur stuff!
I love this content it’s so in depth and analytical but funny and engaging. Subscribed
nice
@@Glidus nice
Aww hell yeah, now I got a new video to watch now and listen to in the background in the future in addition to all of the other Glidus videos
16:55 Okay, I'll bite. What is peladophobia?
28:41 Lol, is that _Be a Man_ from Mulan playing in the background? XD
And your Little Kuriboh and Avatar references are just class.
Hey, let's get a "Zuko Redemption Done Right," video!
fear of baldness
yes and it's me singing it for some reason
yes
hmm
@@Glidus
- I did indeed, look it up. :D
- Haha, my god, that's you singing? That's amazing! I knew it wasn't the orginal, but it's sounds like you're pretty good. Why though, lol? To avoid copyright? Or just for the sheer joy of singing one of Disney's best montage songs?
- Glad we agree.
- This is just a thought to compare Jamie's botched redemption arc with a character's that actually worked. Or do a video on Spuart, I don't know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I swear to God, if Glidus posted more often, the world would have reached the fucking Diamond age (or whatever is better than Platinum). Please Glidus, this is one of the only channels making me laugh GIVE ME MORE!!!
This is gonna be the greatest series to never be finished
Touché
"If you haven't read the books and thought the show had gut punching moments *laughs in quentyn martell*
I had this on in the background and looked up just in time to see that flash on screen, and now I can't decide if I'm sad all over again or if I wanna burst out laughing.
If there isn't a video about Stannis for season 2, we riot.
i just want you to know that i watched basically every single got review and pisstake video countless times while waiting for the next upload
now i catch myself using your lines irl
thanks glidus
23:40 How dare they not knowing Bionicles, that's outrageous
How do you feel about Byzantine punishment?
My man returns! Thank you for this excellent video in this trying time.
Also, I'm watching this on horseback. That's how good this guy is.
The Diddy Kong Racing music I can’t! Little ( well littler) Arya was so cute I want to die. Would have loved to see more interaction between her and Robb and Jon
I was waiting for this one. Thank you very much.
i actually like the arya/gendry set up, especially in the song, but the show did SUCH A BAD JOB of making it come to fruition aaaaaaggghhhhhh
Despite her passing for a boy and having a lot of typically masculine interests, the romantic plot brought a nice balance to their characters. She’s a high born girl that has this friend that she cares about a lot and maybe some day they could be married. She doesn’t care about his social class, she just wants to be with him … they’ve traveled together for a while and she still likes him…. like end of the day she’s still just a young lady who wants the handsome guy to love her. Its pretty cute.
I often liked the young love stories on this show because even if there was sexual tension, they showed more emotional range in my mind. There was more conflict and more reasons for us to care about the relationship. But that’s just me
i didn't watch their reunion because i don't want my headcanon to die in pain...
a lot of people don't pick up on their romantic vibes in the book. i am not sure i registered on my first read either, but as soon as i did i was drawn in and read every arya chapter obsessively, and when you do that it is really hard to ignore, gendry's jealousy and arya's swooning over his muscles and just their overall attachement to each other... i think she is also jealous at some point GOD i gotta read it again, i want to see their reunion, plea- NO YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG STOP
people also are overly weirded out by their age gaps, gendry is 15 and Arya is 11max i think, but i definitely had crushes on 15 year olds as an 11 year old and they survive a lot of shit together, arya saves gendry's ass multiple times and has many skills that he lacks, so it makes a lot of sense that he doesn't think, yeah cute kid but soooo immature and childish, yanow, i don't think he feels older than her. Or more experienced or anything. And 4 years isn't even a lot, this kinde of ages gap grows out my gawd eye roll.
in the show gendrys actor is in his young 20ies i think and arya really is in comparison definitely a child, so i get why the actors are weirded out
@@coralineschmidt1078yeaaaah when I first watched season 8 i rlly had to look up Maisie's age at the time because I genuinely thought she was at most 16 then
didnt expect to be watching this channel and here spyro music... but i ain't complaining. (also great video as always)
a new video from the lineman. spuart bless
wow these videos are really great, man. Awesome work!
I'm watching this at work. That's how good this guy is.
19:50 It should bring Glidus great pleasure to know that I was doing something else and only listening to the audio yet I still dropped what I was doing to very loudly say "tHaT's NoT mE" when i heard the line
I think that connecting Syrio to the faceless men is a bad idea. It messes up the contrast of Syrio to the faceless men and muddies the waters.
To elaborate, Syrio was a bravo, who are swordsmen who dress up in flamboyant colors and duel each other for honor at the drop of a hat. Syrio's greatest title is that he was the First Sword to the Sea Lord and he explicitly both says that he never runs and later dies protecting Arya. He also says that he was First Sword because he had the best sight and there's one major reason why the Sea Lord would want his bodyguard to have great sight.
To say that Syrio is an antithesis to a faceless man is a tremendous understatement. That one, show only, line about the god of death is the entire reason why people think Syrio is a faceless man.
Love the pumped kicks in the background
35:58 was that an oversimplified reference I heard?
My dude, I hung with you through the long dry-spell that was post-Pisstake 8 Glidus. Compared to that I didn't even notice that this one took a minute. I've since learned how to use a straw to suck up the remnants of your content that's fallen on the carpet to keep me going when you ain't dealing.
Well aren’t I excited you’re back
Is that Spyro music? You're a Prince of Culture, my man. Oh, and an OverSimplified reference. Bravo
spyro 3 ost is on constant loop in my head
The “that’s not me” line bothers me. In the book, it didn’t feel to me like she was asserting her gender non conformity, or strength, or some agency over her future. It sounded more just like a frustrated petulant child going “god dad can you even tell me and Sansa apart?” Like she wasn’t even thinking about it, she just automatically assumes he’s thinking of the wrong daughter and corrects him, that’s how much she kinda takes her identity for granted. I feel like it’s partly because she’s aged up in the show, and maybe a kid that age is more aware of the significance of the whole exchange. Idk, my interpretation.
The “that’s not you” line made me feel queasy 🤷♀️
That's quite true. Book Arya isn't really about gender non conformity, it's really more about being different from Sansa. Sansa and her are very different but also quite young so, as siblings do, they fight and get jealous when their parents recognise the other more. Arya is jealous of Sansa for being so good at all the lady stuff because their parents want them to do well but it's just not her thing. Sansa, on the other hand, is frustrated at the fact that Arya can just do whatever she wants (fighting, getting covered in dirt etc) without it really bothering their parents while Sansa makes so much efforts to conform. It's really just two children seeing how the other gets their parents' attention without realising they're getting a lot too. It's a bit sad that D&D decided it wasn't so much about family and more about gender.
@@lastquarter3992 I agree. Because people were like “oh my gosh she’s such a girl boss and a revolutionary character” and I wanted to understand her character but aside from her bits with the Hound I couldn’t get the hype (my ticket into this show was the Sansa-Tyrion storyline, followed by Dany-Ser Jorah and then the Mormonts thanks to Daemon Blackfyre).
We have had warrior women as a part of our lore at the very latest since Joan of Arc. So that archetype is something we have seen before and really, Arya’s story isn’t so much about being a warrior to me. To me, I think people liked Arya because they saw she was true to herself. That’s something that can resonate regardless of gender. If anything I remember guys talking more about how much they liked Arya’s character than girls. A more interesting statement than trying to push her as a progressive kind of character in my mind would be “what do guys recognize about the character that makes her strong character?” Is it that she hasn’t got Ned around anymore? That she’s a contradiction of both innocence, toughness and arrested development?
I think Dave and Dan want to be progressive but they fail: Arya basically became a plot device than anything at the end and that is not a leadership quality or an empowering archetype of femininity. And don’t even get me started with the whole idea of being raped made Sansa a capable leader because that was just messed up
yeah this line gets totally overblown... and then they use it to excuse to never show nymeria again, i had such blue balls for that reunion and then it's just over... and people where like, oooh so deep, amazing, that's not YOU like season 1, ooo
i think this is when i realized that got wasn't gonna be good anymore. At the timr i was really alone with that realization. the good thing about the overly bad ending is that we all can agree on the bad shit and i don't feel overly nitpicky anymore
Just wanted to point out your excellent choice in music
35:10 "Preston said it so it must be true"
That's indeed irrefutable evidence.
Your videos bring me great joy
Love the Hollow Knight music in your video!
11:38 - Nina Gold is very good at her job. Since this video she casted the supporting characters for Andor, a huge cast that populate multiple storylines that are so in tune with the tone of their different worlds. In interview Tony Gilroy gave her the credit for making his job (when directing) easy.
