The Take by ScreenPrism please do an analysis of Lion King
Do the maesters from the Citadel
The Take by ScreenPrism HOUSE REED! Please and Thank You!
Please do an episode on the sparrows and high sparrow or do a video on the faith of the seven and include the sparrows.
How do you compare the brotherhood to communists? That makes zero sense. Seems to resemble Christianity more to me. Even the death and resurrection is spot on
Brienne: "I thought you were dead."
Sandor: "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated."
I love Beric Dondarrion's voice
Hasin ullah death is the enemy
He's got a great voice.
Same here... it sends shivers down my spine
It's the voice a god.
beric is good
but jorah has the sweetest voice
"Any person who seeks to retain power can’t truly put the people first. Actually serving the common good is a tough, thankless, sometimes ugly job." Thanks The Take by ScreenPrism for another excelent video!
Just when I thought today couldn’t get any better
Interesting that the Brotherhood (mostly) carries on Ned Stark’s high minded ideals that ended up killing him.
Yeah, but this time wasn't just one man and this time they are not surrounded by fancy assholes
Some things are worth dying for
Too bad Anguy hasn't been seen since S3. It would have been great seeing him on the Winterfell battlements armed with dragon glass tipped arrows picking off White Walkers.
More than likely died
That dude gave me ‘cool summer camp counselor’ vibes idk why
You girls need to do the faceless men before the show ends.
Brought a tear to my eye, there is something truly beautiful about the brotherhood without banners.
GRRMartin made Brotherhood without banners for a good reason. He makes his story grounded in realism and destroys classic like romance and tales of chivelry knights and honourable men are not what they are. They are in reality aristocracy and they really care only about their families and the Monarchy, none of them don't have concerns the people, they only care about what is best for their interests. The people live under their systems that don't provide the people's best interests.
Also the actual medieval age was scarred by near constant egalitarian religious uprisings such as the hussite uprising, the uprisings of 1338, the florentine defenetration, the cathar controversy, the diggers uprising.
Any fantasy not reflecting that rich revolutionary tradition would simply be lacking.
Explain this egalitarian and all these uprising.
Communal living for commonfolks was remarkably egalitarian and democratic. In the cities of northern italy, and later southern Germany and Frisia, not to forget Paris and England municipalities known as "communes" began to arise. The different communes tended to be organized in slightly different manners, but usually they were run by directly democratic syndicates of guilds and would hold monthly or annual meetings to establish law, regulate markets and settle the affairs of the the city.
Similar developments happened in the country-side, but such communities were more often based on ancient communitarian ties that the feudal structure was challenging.
This meant that the bulk of the population in from at least the 13th century onwards lived in self-sufficient communities that only interacted with the feudal state once taxes were levied and thus people came to detest the nobility and wealthy merchant princes - the popolo grosso - as parasites.
It was in such communities that Quakers, Anabaptist and Cathars were born and it was such communities that were able to overthrow the nobility for a decade during the hussite wars and during the English civil war.
Women also increasingly held more and more influential roles in the waves of resistance against feudalism and the nascent capitalism, with be quakers and Catars believing in parity and equality between men and women.
Indeed, any historical reading of feudalism will tell you it was a system in permanent crisis.
"Ant person who seeks to retain power can't truly put the people first."
Now that's deeply true. It's 3 days to the presidential election day in my country. This quote can't be more relevant to ponder upon. Thank you.
Sadly. The show Brotherhood just became beric and thoros. What happened to the rest. There are one of my favorite parts of the books
YASSS Same here! Definitely my favorite... i wish I could have a shirt with their banner.... but.... lol.... it’s in the name
I appreciate these videos so much! I never even expect the topics, but they're always super interesting.
Great job once again. Gotta do The Wildlings next!
I almost wish they would reshoot that old scene with the new Beric Dondarrion. He's so great.
"Beric Dondarion" and "Thoros of Myr" are very cool-sounding names, btw. Almost as good as "Jojen Reed"
Rob Chuk I personally think the recasting was specifically done. It demonstrates the amount of toll the resurrecting has taken on Beric.
@@blahblahblahrasha1637 recasting is almost never done intentionally. 99.9% of the time it's done due to contract disputes, death, or unavailability.
@@blahblahblahrasha1637 I agree with what Josh McIver said but that's a really cool way of looking at it.
Josh McIver I don’t think they necessarily planned to do so when they cast the first Beric, but I do believe the decision to go with a different, older, grizzled Beric was intentional after the fact, and could also coincide with those other factors.
@@blahblahblahrasha1637 and this actor has charisma. Could you see that other actor saying the cool ass lines this one did? This dude was made for that role
Of all the Robin Hood’s to reference and you went for Kevin Costner
NefariousJim He was the best? Him or Cary Elwes for sure...
I assumed it was to intentionally show the differences
I love how Tywin says "a pretentious name for a band of outlaws" referring to the Brotherhood Without Banners.
I just want to see Berric Dondarrion weild that flaming sword one last time before I leave this world.
I mean you literally see him wielding the sword in the season 8 tv spot so sound
@@hm4654 Not enough.....
@@MADGUNSMONSTER there you go right on the first episode
MADGUNS FOREVER™ dw he’ll wield it next episode and die with it, maybe giving it to Sandor before he dies or something so Sandor finally conquers his fear
Charles Stott it was obvious he was gonna die that episode, despite how sad it is :/ rip beric, altho most people are gonna be dead in next 3 eps, so it's not like we're losing 1 cool character, we're losing tons
You should do House Clegane, House Reed, House Tarth, House Baelish, House Seaworth, The Red Priests, The Maesters, The Faith Militant, The Faceless Men, The Ghiscari, and the Qartheen.
I'd like to see the Faith Militant next.
Personally,I'd like to see their take(no pun intended)on the Faceless Men.
Incredible analysis, like always. I've paid so little attention, until this video I thought they really were just a band of outlaws. And this had me thinking Sandor is Azor Ahai, since his life was marked by fire, he comes back "from the dead", he defeats Beric, he joins the brotherhood, and he sees visions in the fire after it being his only weakness...
Thoros seems to think Beric is Azor Ahai, some think Jaime is Azor Ahai, I believe Daenerys is Azor Ahai. I really hope the show presents it in a very clear way or fans won`t stop arguing about it.
@@Katwind I think it would be more in line with the spirit of the universe if we are given no clear answer for the identity of Azor Ahai, or if it turns out that that's just a myth, and no one actually knows. This show often deconstructs popular fantasy tropes, though there has been less of that recently
That was because, with the exception of last season, the show is more of a historical drama happening in a fantasy world than an epic fantasy or something similar. And that change is, in my opinion, why the seventh season is the least liked of all.
I could listen to Beric Dondarrion read the phone book.
Wow, you've managed to make me interested in them for the first time, good job.
Okay, well the Brotherhood actually gets results and do miracles in front of people's eyes ...
Love this channel, especially the GOT videos!
This was a great omniscient exploration of the Brotherhood Without Banners. I especially appropriate the comparison between the Brotherhood's relationship with the people and the other houses in the story. A
Please do faceless men. I get so confused with it. Also do a video on Arya stark.
thanks so much for all of this content lately!!
I loooove the symbolism videos so much. Great stuff!
The Brotherhood should have this for a marching song -"Let's kill a a Frey, and kill one today! There are so many, we could kill the one every day!"
Thank you for dropping another video before the premiere! Loved it!
WOW, y'all really do EVERYTHING. This channel is amazing.
I just wanted to point out since you mentioned the correlation between the Brotherhood without banners and Prometheus Flame. Philip McGinley who plays Anguy( archer) starred in the film Prometheus in 2012 which was casted by the same casting director of Game of Thrones Nina Gold
I love brotherhood without banner.
Wow! So much in depth research into so many things! A wonderful video!
A lot of good content have been posted here in a very limited period of time. Im very impressed
These videos are wonderful. I really hope you do the Wildlings. When Tormund showed up I was so happy he was still alive that I litreally jumped for joy.
Binged a bunch of your videos after watching your part of the One Marvelous Scene project. Glad I did. Subbed.
This is the best time to be your subscriber. I'm loving the game of thrones videos
I love these videos so much.
Actually it's mostly the people of the river and ctownlands (plus the north a bit) most other regions do not have wars in their homeland. The riverlands get the worst of it because they are smack in the middle of everything, which is why the tullys usually make smart wedding arrangements and try to avoid conflicts.. Which makes it so much more appaling that catelyn provoked it so needlessly.
@theresia2012 kidnapping tyriona (aka brother of the queen, son of tywin...) on a very flimsy accusation from a terribly unreliable source
ugh im so in love with your got videos
I really enjoy your videos. They are so we'll done and researched.
Didn't expect this one!
?
Also raid and kill those who can’t defend themselves
Vlad the guru season 6. They raided and murdered a whole village that healer and nurtured the hound
Vlad the guru they were still members when they did it. It doesn’t matter if they were hanged for it. The brotherhood is as good as its members. And they recruit murderers, rapists, and thieves.
Vlad the guru a chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link
Vlad the guru do you know how metaphors work? Or did you run out of arguments?
You should do a video on the common people of Westeros!
great videos as always
Fantastic video!!
Please consider doing a video on the Kingsguard. I believe there's a lot that can be talked about there.
Another one?? You spoil us! Thank you! ;) ;*
Can we talk how soothing Beric's voice is?!
Can you do a wildings video?
I love this! More please! Wildlings, the Ironborn, the Sparrows...
Love your channel!!! Can you do a take on the Freys please?!
You rock. Subbed. I’m on s08 e2 so I’ll cya more soon :)
Awesome take!!!
great job Ladies!!! as Always
WHO'S READY FOR THE PREMIER🙋
Your awesome waiting for Faceless men and faith militant
incredible videoes!!!!! what about videos about the different religious from both Westeros and Essos ... that could be awesome
The Jedi Knights of Game of Thrones.
I miss anguy the archer. Wish the actor came back
Those videos are so damm good
Well done.
Love your work! Not sure what you have planned next but if you’re taking any ideas, a Red Dead Redemption video I think would be super interesting and fun to watch! Specially a character study of Arthur Morgan! Just a thought, though I’ll continue to watch no matter what! Keep up the great work!😊
Love your videos. Would love to know about your professional backgrounds if possible.
House Stark is the closest to 'for the people'. As you said they were inspirited by Ned Stark and Robb Stark was told how Ned viewed the people. I also don't think Rob knew about those poor women who were hanged. If he knew, those men would've been on the chopping block.
You should do the House Clegane next
Could you do one on the Kingsguard with some focus on the Cersei's current ones, the heroes from Roberts Rebellion and figures like Cristian Cole?
Seems pretty weird to not point out the "Shadow" thing talking about having to sell Gendry.
That flaming sword is my fav. part of this group
It seems like you guys have a different point of view then most youtubers who simply talk about the same thing without much variation. Another Great Video.
Where do they get those animated scenes of game of thrones and the sketches and drawings of characters. I'm loving them.
Really good content. I would like to add that in the Peasant's War, there seré groups of faithful with communist values and organization, like the people led by Thomas Münzer. Also, commenting on the Parallels between socialist guerrilla and the Brotherhood, consider the religious motivation of
The Theologians of Liberation in Latín América.
The first time I watched the show I totally missed the whole brotherhood without banners thing
How ? They are like a huge part of the Arya storyline
Ouzy 360 I didn’t realize that bed created them and I didn’t get their whole philosophy. Ijust thought they were a random group of people
Your guyz have some of the best analyzation of shows and movies, Do you have F is for Family on your radar at all?
so basically;
Robin Hood - Beric Dondarrion
Friar Tuck - Thoros of Myr
Lil’ John - The Hound
I would have liked to see more of Anguy in the show. Long live TBWB!
Beris is an unkindled from Dark Souls, coming back over and over to spark the flame
Thank you
Please do a video on True Detective or Vikings!
Do the War of 5 kings symbolism !!! Breakdown each kings
You're spoiling us, both with quantity and quality.
The true heroes of Game of Thrones. ✊
Hello THE TAKE...I hope you do a video analysis on the Free Folk / The Wildlings also...
"Where as Robin [Hood is]... incredibly successful in taking down the King of England"
Taking down??!! Robin Hood fought FOR the King of England, AGAINST a pretender to the throne.
If I would have born in westaros,
I would have joined "Brotherhood without banners"
Please do a video on faith of seven......high sparrow and faith militants!
I like that you used video from a lot of the Robin hood movies.
What if Beric was from House Dayne and he wields a Flaming Dawn.
Ha! but then he has to be the Best Swordsman in Westeros to wield Dawn..
A good way to ruin a fine sword.
I loved Beric and Thoros! So many great characters, god rest poor Theon, he paid the Iron price...
oh god lol they did the old hit your head on the cop car frame, gag.
Berric's voice gives me life 😍
Y’all should do a break down on the old gods and the new
Anyone else want Arya and Gendry to be the Batman and Robin Hood of Westeros?
Nope but now I want a Batman and Robin hood movie
Will you do a take on the Wildlings?
RIP The brotherhood
Y’all should do a video on another HBO show, Barry!
To be honest they aren't really good guys or bad guys. Which I think is supposed to reflect the people they try to defend. Like they do an lot of bad things. But they also do an lot of good.
Also, comparing them to Communist and socialist isn't the best thing. Like they aren't about economical types for government that much. And they still pay for what they need volunteery and doesn't force anyone to trade with them.
How does someone accidently bring you back to life.
There are very few noble and righteous people throughout history. Most sell out first chance the they get. Eventually most succumb to some sort of greed.
You say Mubi will help me, but now I have a bigger selection to question myself about 🙈🙈
Great video! 🐺🐉🐺🐉🐺🐉🐺
