Arya KILLS the Night King | Game of Thrones

- Arya Stark kills the Night King - Very few of us expected the White Walker war to end midway into the final season. Most expected Jon Snow to deliver the killing blow, given his central role in the war against the dead. Maybe Daenerys would destroy the king of the dead with dragon fire. It was a Stark who gets the honor, just not the Stark anyone expected - but Arya’s role in killing the Night King and the White Walker threat isn’t without a whole lot of setup.
Game of Throne
Creators: David Benioff, D.B. Weiss
Stars: Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage, Kit Harington, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams
Original network: HBO
Distributor: Warner Bros. Television Distribution
Margaret Constance "Maisie" Williams - an English actress. Williams made her acting debut in 2011 as Arya Stark, a lead character in the HBO epic medieval fantasy television series Game of Thrones. She received two Emmy Award nominations.

Mostly what I remember about this episode was that you couldn't see a damn thing because it was so dark.
Small blessings
Yes
I squinted and cringed so hard during the whole thing that i got a stiff neck
depende de tu televisor
@@hermenegildotrujillo458 HBO pidió disculpas por lo mal que se vio la primera vez que se emitió. Sé que luego en BluRay la cosa mejoró y supongo que con los años y las mejoras de bitrate en la actualidad también podrá verse mejor en streaming. Pero cuando se emitió, ya podía tener la mejor tele del mundo: podrías verlo mejor que otros, pero se veía mal, pixelado y oscuro igualmente.
Thank you Night King, for trying to save us from the last episode.
dany dying was PERFECT writing imo, season 8 only went wrong on how cersei died. it should have been worse
да слили короля по тупому
@@Nocturne-G21 You have shit taste if you think that was perfect writing lol
Agreed. This should have been the last episode, it was awesome.
@@Nocturne-G21 if that’s perfect writing to you I want nothing to do with anything else you deem even remotely good
“Writers kill game of thrones” - there, I fixed the title for you
I didn't think it was so bad although I'm not a book reader nor did I watch the show live from year to year I just binged it for the first time like 2 years ago can someone explain what they hated so much about the ending I'm curious
@@DuneLover1472 Because of the lore that the story was feeding into and referencing through 7 seasons. Then they up and change it to finish it off in the final season. Everything the story, myths, and plots all pointed to John Snow having that final battle. Instead the made the NK weak and pathetic, and finally killing him off with Arya, who had nothing at all to do with his story line. The one person that was part of her story line was Cercie and they even ruined that death.
😂
7 seasons... this massive build up- for it to end in one episode because a little girl goes Ninja on one guy. It's so bad, it's comical.
The fact that the writers upset you lot is fine by me.
This felt like Hermione killing Voldemort after all the prophecies saying Harry was the one 😅
Oh God... that hurt me just by reading it and I'm not even a big harry potter fan, I just watched the movies.
I can see where you coming from, Jon Snow facing off the night king a few times before, but Jon Snow isn't a Stark , and it was always a Stark who was going to kill the Night King.
@@michaelfoley9904he is a stark, his mother, remember?
@@BB-xe2dh Jon Snows mother, Lyanna Targaryen , told her brother , Eddard Stark , that her sons name was Aegon Targaryen. Do you remember ???😀
Arya's killing the Night King had been teased for ages. If nothing else, her switching from left to right should've told you. Jon was a misdirect, such as GRRM loves.
Arya spent like 4 seasons becoming a stealth assasin and then just runs really fast screaming
Actually, have you notice the wind whisper before the actual scream when she knew exactly how to trick him: like: look here I am screaming up here, dont look down....na mean>? :)
She kind of forgot.
It's called anger. Clearly you've never been in a real fight.
@@saintemile3086 she didnt fight the other times? She knows how to move but screaming is just a dumb choice
@@saintemile3086 Ah yes, a real fight where I would exhaust myself purposefully and disclose my location by YELLING LOUDLY AT THE ENEMY BEFORE I HIT THEM.
I mean lets just look at Boxing, MMA or Football, these people don't start yelling as soon as the fight starts because you would waste oxygen, energy and the element of surprise if you should have any.
Night King was one of the most enigmatic characters ever produced in a series... turned into ice cubes after doing nothing.
this 10 seconds to destroy the 10 years.........
He killed a dragon, so that's something
Теперь его можно добавить в виски!
after waiting for thousands of years 😂
@@LordOfNothingreallyso did a nameless soldier from Euron’s fleet
Dude can kill dragons by throwing pieces of ice but can't instantly choke out Arya, lol
Because hes analytical. I think he was wondeirng if he could use somoene like her.
@@arielx31gosh... Theon got impaled by the Nightking with the BROKEN end of his spear... IMPALED.. through fckin armoooor 🙃
he would have broken her freaking neck ffs, end of discussion
@Haemoglobuli Theon isn't Arya and to compare them and their skills is stupid.
Also "gosh", what're you, 90 y/o? Th3 night king hesitated for a reason.
Idk why you're so butthurt over my comment when it wasnt even bad
Go cry elsewhere 🤡
Arya mad? 😂
@Haemoglobuli what're you whinging about???
She passed by all his guards and got that close to him. He's also incredibly strong. If he wanted to end it, he could've but instead he was observing her.
The night king is also smart and calculating, unlike you, which is why you made your idiotic comment comparing her to Theon who didn't even show HALF of the promise Arya showed throughout the entire series.
Hands down The Greatest Let Down in TV History
Closely followed by the Iron Fleet forgetting about Dany and going for a fun cruise in the Caribbean, or something like that.
the funniest part is that its not even an exaggeration.
Indeed, Lost had the crown for worst ending - then GOT trumped it with not just 1 bad ending but a whole set of episodes destroying and undoing everything that went before in the most moronic way possible.

It reminds me of the line, “I’m no man!”
I'm not questioning the season 8. I'm denying its existence.
I see what you did there
Yes.,.,,,,I did drugs to block that season out of my mind.
@@geminisunleomoon it is worth a watch imo. I personally didn't think it was as bad as people are making it out to be, but it certainly felt rushed and could have been way better
Season 8 with the killing of the dragon mother was woke madness.
So how would you end it you talk the same shit as others pretending you could even present such a show
The greatest "anticlimax" scene of all time.
if you guys think about it, it only took 1 assassin from Braavos to kill the Night King, who supposed to be a global threat. This is agreed to be anti-clmimactic
It's like playing a video game where the last boss is the easiest boss in the game.

More like “Dweeb Agitator”.
That is what she named her knife …
@@Lukecash2 ah an expert of dweeb culture
Probably would have worked better for John Snow to have killed the Night King and Arya assassinate the dragon lady when she went mad king for her big moment.
@@theyaden No, Arya, a little woman, was never up there with the Thrones people. And it would have been seen as a woman fighting a woman. Snow represented personal love for the mother of dragons, and was as high a king figure as she was a queen. Having him see her for what she became, and stopping her from sitting on the throne was much more meaningful, far more than any knife fight.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
The amount of rage I felt after this episode is undescribable.
"The Long Night" utterly destroyed all the build-up for Jon and the Night King's fight and story arcs. This was *JON's* spotlight, and yet if you remove him from the episode, nothing changes.
And the worst part to me is that the Night King's actor, other than being very skilled, is an insane swordsman in real life.
They could've pulled out an incredibly badass and epic duel with Jon, but they fucking DID NOT.
they killed Daenerys....what do you expect...shameful...
Tell me about it……..it was rushed, badly planned and just weak
I don’t understand what they were thinking
My imagination was better, they had such an opportunity to make it the best season
we are legit the same person. i was just ranting to myself about this damn episode today. i cannot believe the audacity. to build this storyline for several goddamn seasons with this individual killing hundreds of thousands and he dies to a sleight of hand by ARYA??? the problem is not arya exactly. why the hell was jon taking on an undead viserion? he would have surely died like wtf? i was completely expecting a hand-to-hand or sword-to-sword with the night’s king and jon. the entire end of GoT was such an utterly destroying disappointment.
Im dreaming about a 2v1 Arya and Jon vs The Night King that would have been so epic
@@robertkamo, bruh, your mindddddddd. yesssss.
Arya flew in like a goon in Gotham. The running jumping shouting charge never fails to get you caught in mid air.
“A goon in Gotham” made me choke on my water 😂😂😂😂
Exactly; and would he catch her?! He was already reaching for his blade; he would have just continued pulling it and either hacked or stabbed her. Friggin' Hollywood
That was her plan. It was a diversion. Scream, get caught, make sure both the Night Kings hands occupy, drop knife to other free hand, stabby, stabby.
😂
It should be more like the Witch king in Lord of the Rings when he got stabbed from behind by a mere hobbit :) That was stealth
“It’s Starkin time.”
And then she Arya’ed all over the White Walkers
Better than the stupid denial of "iTs ToTaLly JoN sNoW'S sHoUtiNg (from halfway across Winterfell) tHaT kIlLed tHe Night King !!1!!
It's you, you are the game of thrones
Brann being recognized as the threat is what should have been the most important part of these scene
The Night King read the script and realized it was pure unadultered bullshit. He tried to save us from that contrived Bran the broken should be king thing.
@@tokyworldking bran 🤣🤣 what an absolute joke
Hold the door hold the door.... Hodor..
The production of HBO were so embarrased of the ep that they tried to obscure it beyond recognition.
The one thing that never slipped during Game of Throne's final seasons was the music. Even in this scene there's so much passion in that music, that steadily raising tempo before dropping into this slow, ominous tune that builds again as the Night King and Bran share their looks to one another. There's an entire conversation in that look between them, an entire argument on rights and wrongs, good vs evil, and its just encapsulated by that music. Unfortunate it had to be attached to the rest of this episode.
You mean that gremlins theme rip off?😂
Nah, I think this would be so much better without music
I expected Bran to say something like, "Hello Frederick. It's been a very long time since we last met." Any name would do. Bran had become something more, and was basically immortal, had all the memory of the previous Raven. He knows all, including the original identity of the Night King."
Honestly S8 was so incredible in every aspect... except for the writing, wich is absolutly horrible and basicly destroyed the show. But everything else was so amazing
It sounds like an EPIC rendition of Dana Carveys SNL Piano tune: Choppin Broccoli th-cam.com/users/shorts49yI_2X_pMw
All that training to be a stealthy, faceles assassin.
Yells ‘aaaaaaargh!’
ROFL
So true.... Like you couldn't give a better warning, but maybe that was what she wanted, a easy target to grab so she can do that knife dropping.
But the Night King wasn't just the only loser in this writing, the Arya was as well. Because all that training etc, and she can't even assassinate properly (yet, successfully).
It was to distract him from his current mindset of doing her brother in.
@@UTube-gs1yf This is easily the stupidest justification I've seen so far. It would've been FASTER to deal with him if she didn't scream while trying to ASSASSINATE him
Went from assassin to pirate in one episode
The best way to get his hands up and his guard down. She wasn’t gonna get around his armor another way.

So many ways Arya could do this. So many skills she could use.
And yet they just make her run, screaming.
Yeah. Whats with the screaming? Assassins don't scream.
facts
@@jenniferhanses how would u know? )_)
Yeah. Even the missed dialogue. The Night king could've said "No one can kill me" and Arya could've replied "I am no one" and then stabbed him. The whole faceless men arc of her story was wasted right here.
Nah it was perfect, the scream was her at the very edge of her physical capabilities, giving it her absolute all at the end of a brutal bloody battle. The emotions seeping out beyond her control, her last breath, all or nothing.
1:06 - Bran looks down to check the Night King armor “yep, should go right through” and Night King looks back with the “what does he know that I don’t” look
Post Processing: "How dark do you want the scenes to be?"
... "Yes"
Bran scored the best participation trophy in the history of participation trophies
🤣😂
Remember, he didn't want to be king......Until he did.
Who had a better story?
I swear every time I saw his face after season 5 I had an unquenchable desire to bully him for being such a smug turd
Ouch! 😂😂
That episode was so dark, that I just have to close my eyes and imagine what’s happening 😅
Lol I couldn't see shit. I had to rewatch it with my brightness and contrast turned all the way and use my imagination. This should have been the last episode. I was like what else is there really. Stop the army of the undead✅️

3:26 Director after successfully ruining Game of Thrones forever
Builds up clash between John Snow and the Night King for half the series. Arya comes back from across the pond has no idea what’s happening and just kills him like it was nothing… lazy and stupid writing
Thank you for seeing this, and also from nowhere bran stark becomes d king of the six kingdoms excluding the north Jon snow work so hard to unite and denying Jon snow access to the entire kingdom as king, how do u see the story too ??
I didn't mind that Arya killed him but they should have shown jon fighting him and losing trying to protect bran when Arya came in and did this
Yah, they let Theon and the the girl Karstark defend Bran when they know the Night King is the megaboss and is going straight to Bran
I would have loved seeing a mortally wounded Theon rise one last time to protect Bran until Jon gets there, both giving Theon the redepmtion he really deserved and Arya a window to deliver the fatal stab. Even I would have still disliked that ending for the Night King. But would have resolved the situation way better.
Considering how good older seasons were, I still can't believe the amount of stupid moments seasons 7 and 8 had. What they did was criminal.
Even something as simple as that might of saved a lot of what was shit in the last season
No, Jon is trash
But they didn't, instead we get jon cowering behind some rubble as the audience is forced to look at some cgi dragon, instead of some actual, engaging conflict.
Bran sat there smiling because he knew exactly what was about to happen.
he never smiled
@@Roro0189 he was “observing”
I liked the bit where after Legolas stabs Saruman where Gimly says "that still only counts as one."
Excuse me? Whenever did you manage to mix 2 Books/Movies up like that? O.o
One of the most anticlimactic moments in the whole series. What "jump the shark" looks like in a fantasy series.
It's like the production money must've run out and they were just trying to rush through the final season without even honoring the previous 7 seasons.
Rather than this at the end Bran stabs the Night King then takes off his face and it's revealed that it was Arya all along.
Interesante 😮🤔
For that arya has to kill bran first

Thanks Gimli.
Legolas 🤨
You know, Arya is one of my favorite characters, and tbh, I liked that she killed the Night King with the same move she did training with Brienne. But seriously, the writers screwed up big time with the background of the characters this season. Jon Snow spent a good part of the show preparing to fight the Night King, only to end up not even getting the chance. If they had put the fight between The Night King and Snow, with him almost dying, and then Arya arriving SILENTLY as the perfect "no one", that she trained to be, it would have been epic.
Also me arya child wood lit. Epic
Nooooo bruh.
Arya Should have died along with many others in this battle and they should have lost at Winterfell. Her character arc was finished in season 6 and they knew that so they oddly shoehorned her into every major moment in season 8 and gave her an awkward sex scene. It doesn't fit and there is a reason why the majority of people think this scene was disappointing. Her arc was great in seasons 1-4 but after that she became a boring character.
Exactly the build up it was inevitable but that’s exactly why they had Arya kill him I looked it up cuz I figured everyone would be asking why they had her do it and dumb and dumber said it was because Jon was too predictable and I was like THATS THE POINT it’s a prophecy

"Lets have Arya kill the night king" 😂😂😂 someone actually said this and other were like "thats a great idea" 🤦♂️😂😂😂
I’ve never seen a series die as quick as GoT. One moment it’s the biggest thing on earth and then it’s gone. At least 2 series of content shoehorned into 8 hours.
Agree...they got lazy!
I don't agree, I felt is was great all to the end.
I don't agree either. Season 8 is easily one of my favorites, could care less that it was rushed. Most of us actually have lives to live.
@@saintemile3086 fair enough. I just think they cut so many corners with the story lines
Well, there was LOST..
Night King: Nobody can kill Night King. Arya Stark: I'm Nobody LOL 😀
Should've used "No one"
Could you imagine if This was Thanos. Where the GOTG encounters him on knowhere and gamora actually kills him stabbed him in the neck with that pocket knigfe and the movie just end right there, that what it feels like.
Gamora makes a bit of thematic sense, due to her connection to Thanos. It would have to be Groot
This season was the biggest let down in television history
The soundtrack really carried this scene.
Carried it into the grave
Sure as hell wasn’t the script or watchability.
😂😂😂😂@@bouncer812
Yeah
Props to ramin djavadi for making the soundtrack
Look love Arya. Love her character arc, the growth and development of the actress’s skills over the time of the show. But this was such a huge let down based on how they have hyped the prince who was promised. And then again HOTD is using it as the basis for Targaryen right to reign. This was Jon’s big moment and it was stolen from him. I would have even been in favor of it being dany who got to kill him. But I will never forget or forgive DND for how they ruined jon and Dani’s character.
I was so dissappointed that Jon didn't kill the Night King after the encounters they had. I was expecting some kind of payoff between them and the prophecy. Arya had no connection to this subplot whatsoever and it felt random and unearned.
It was because of Jon that Arya decided to return to Winterfell instead of going to King's Landing. Jon is the one who gathered all the armies and allies together. The prophecy does not mention *how* the one who was promised would bring the dawn. Who else but Arya could wield the dagger (that has the inscription of the prophecy on it) to kill the night king?
NEVER!!
While I can agree...the show also constantly showed how prophecies ( and other stories as a whole ) could be wrong and misinterpreted. Having Arya kill the Night King goes to prove that while also giving us this payoff of her working for years to not only not be the "lady" she was "born" to be but also fought against for years.Even to the first season, what do we say to the god of Death, not today. And the "death" of the whole realm was meant to be at the hand of the long winter and the Night King, and she defeated him.
@@moist_captain}
The move Arya makes is the same one she makes against Brienne when they were sparring. „Who taught you that move?“ „No one.“
That leap from behind was on par with Dexter's son getting hurt on the treadmill.
I never understood why Arya screamed. It was clear the Deus Ex Friggia knew she was there anyway, but it seemed superfluous.
Correct! But the DEF does not know about the "franchise killer" move, obviously!

Представляю, что мог подумать Джон, когда заорал на дракона, и тот рассыпался в прах. 😂
Ah yes, the battle that reshaped my understanding of the word 'anti-climatic'
Imagine writing this with a straight face.
What I hate most about this scene is how god damn lazy it feels. Before this, the Night King had just killed Theon who was the last one standing defending Bran. That scene had white walkers surrounding the whole area, just standing around watching. Theon runs past a bunch that were in the background as he was charging the night king.
Then there's this scene taking place in the same exact spot. Night king is about to kill Bran when Ayra just materializes out of thin air behind him. Like wtf? It's not explained at all how she was able to sneak up on the night king without a single one of the white walkers noticing. We know she's stealthy, but she can't turn invisible. It's like they just wanted a last minute save-the-day big moment, and ayra just happened to be an assassin, so they were like, "hey let's just have ayra do her assassin thing, we don't really have to explain it, but we'll just have her pop out behind the night king at the last second. Easy peasy!"
I still enjoyed watching season 8
Bran just giving her that look at the end like, "Good job, girl! I knew you could do it (...literally...the whole time...)"
An unceremonious end to the "big bad" they built up for seven seasons.
Typical George R. R. Martin actually. Happened to a lot of important characters during the series. Some of them even had more screen time. And they build his end up for nearly eight seasons if you think about it.
I think it is a real big problem that we all now have so many expectations how a story should be told, that this really limits the diversity of stories.
The bomb always is defused on the last second. The hero gets the girl. ... Boring.
Game of Thrones was different. From start to finish expectations were disappointed. Charakters were build up to die quick without a lot of glory. Eddard, Rob, Littlefinger, Tywin, ... And this unpredictability and different approache to storytelling made it unique and entertaining.
@@Chiungalla79 This season was NOT entertaining. it was rushed, poorly written cringe that left everyone feeling short changed and wanting seven years of their life refunded together with a handwritten apology.

Have you tried house of the dragons?
As the number one badass assassin Arya would not do the typical movie scream as she leaps at the enemy. Silent and deadly.
"Tomorrow you will catch it"
Syrio Forel
Yes, she did. Evidently she learned to be quiet as a shadow as well.
Arya launching a rear "sneak" attack on the night king by screaming at the top of her lungs. So much for the stealth of a faceless man. Arya started off as my favorite character, and like the rest of the show fell into the plot schithole.
So many complained and will continue to complain about this scene and the whole season, but I for one really enjoyed how they did this one. The music especially was masterful, tying the whole scene together
Technically the night king was killed because he didn’t wear good armor….death by exposed midriff 😂
Must have Russian armour lol😊
Technically there were no armour for nigh walkers or nigh king that will withstand Valyrian steel dagger.

I loved this episode so much when I saw it for the first time. Don't agree with the hate at all. I do agree with the hate on the episodes about the battle of Kings Landing though... They shouldve taken more time on that one
i screamed so hard when arya stabbed that bastard i was like... yaasssss oh God yaas 😭😭😭😭
The fact that Jon Snow didnt fight the Night King was a low blow to all the fans of GoT. Such an anti climatic ending, very dissapointed, even now.
All season 8 was underwhelming. Tsk tsk
Agreed. The Night King was not Arya’s to kill. He was Jon’s. MAYBE Daenerys.
No no your expectations were 'subverted'. We should be happy apparently.
You can see elements of this here and there that were astonishing, interesting and actually good ideas. If it hadn't been so damn rushed or if they hadn't flubbed so many other things. It's like watching a team come close to going to the Super Bowl but having the QB throw an interception in the End Zone instead of a winning touch down or a RB fumbling on the goal line only to have a defensive player scoop it up and run it back the other way for the game winning touchdown. It just feels so hollow and empty and pointless and even the really good stuff just pisses you off because you could see how great it could have been if they hadn't rushed and fucked it up.
Game of thrones is nothing like your trash sport “football”
That happened in 2015 when Seattle lost the Super Bowl! They were behind 28 to 24 with less than 1 minute left. But they had the ball at the 1 yard line and everyone on planet earth knew Marshawn Lattimore would smash (like he had all night) into the end zone and win the game! But no. They passed (!) the ball and it was intercepted by New England. Simply one of the dumbest calls in NFL history.
@@patricklogan7238 I remember that game. I was so disgusted with the way Seattle blew their chance to take down New England. But as bad as that was the Atlanta choke job was even worse!
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 The two worst forever for sure. Which is worst though; slowly, painfully giving the game away or handing it over on the last play? A tie, maybe.

night king ended just like that wow wtf and what a justice to such a badass character like anything could happen in the show
Remember Pedro Pascal cheered at this and was actually happy Arya was the one to deal with the Night King. I stopped watching any of the shows he was in since.
Say what you will about season 8, but the music and the actors were still top notch
Could’ve had Arya learn to shapeshift into a whitewalker to get close enough without interference … would’ve made use of that skill set!
Just when you thought Season 8 couldn´t get any worse, the writers pull a stunt like this. They managed to do this a few times in season 8.
Let’s just get this out of the way right now.
They should’ve done Jon snow vs the White king and had Jon snow kill the white king
They should have had Beric and Jon fight the night king and both of them lose but not turn into white walkers because they both had already died. That way those two story arcs wouldn't be, you know, completely f-ing meaningless.
They should have had Bran realize he's the Night King in a time loop and sacrifice himself for the good of the world.
@@yxx_chris_xxythank goodness you guys weren’t writers for the show.
The way the last episode was filmed was criminal to dark so hard to watch
The fact that this kill is literally the same as the quick time event you need to do in farcry 3 to kill of the main villain. Press "x" to drop your sword so you can regrab it for a stab.
The moment ubisoft is more original than 2 guys having the biggest budget at their disposal, says a LOT
So glad they wrapped up such a huge and important story line in a single battle across one episode. So fulfilling. At least I think that’s what it was but it was so freaking dark.
The place where Winter fell...
Not only did she killed the Night King, she killed the entire franchise!
This song is so close to Goodbye Blue Sky, from Pink Floyd.. I keep waiting to hear “Did did did did you hear the falling bombs…”
Lol
I still can’t believe how many ppl loved this at the time it happened. Like all these years of “the Prince who was promised” to switch to badass Aria saves the day for no other reason than she is good at killing. 🤦🏻♂️
The way Bran calmly sits staring off calmly staring into the abyss making the Night King wait before even turning to face him and look to acknowledge his presence is reminiscent of Ron Livingston's Office Space character dismissing Bill Lumbergh's request for those TPS reports.
actualy looked like he felt pity for the Night King there, becuse he most likely knew what was about to happen.
Ummm by the way, you do know we are using the new cover sheets on those don't you?
Remember he sees things before they happen
Brann: You're me, aren't you?
Night King: Always has been
“our line must sit the throne, so one day, someone who is an unacknowledged bastard of our line can hide from an undead dragon, while his step sister stealth kills the night king for him”
cousin, not step sister
@@kilroy2517 He was raised in her house and raised by her father as his son. They're step-siblings, adopted at worst
@@chronica6457 So, you didn't watch the show.... John Snow is the son of Lyanna Stark, who is the sister of Ned Stark, who is Arya's father. John and Arya are first cousins. That is fact, not opinion.
Before that was known, it was thought he was Ned's bastard son, which would have made him Arya's half-brother. But never in any way was he a step-brother.
@@kilroy2517 I guess if you ignore everything I said
@@chronica6457 I guess you're right if you ignore, you know, the facts. WTF?
Bran's thought bubble as NK is slow-mo walking towards him ("wait for it, waaaaaaiiiit for it . . . . . . Jon who??? - Arya is da GOAT!!!")
Imagine if we a 20 minute one on one with jon snow and the night king
They developed a tension all throughout the series by making the white walkers a mostly unknown and mysterious threat that will end humanity just to destroy it all within the last episodes.
Didn't read the books, but I hope GRRM wrote it better than the makers of the show.
He hasn't finished it yet which is why they had limited material to go on.
I dont get this take. This entire episode is a legendary battle with all of the main characters in one place. The buildup was all for this moment... and I thought it lived up to it. The only other option would be to let the Night King take Winterfell... and what do you suppose would happen after that ??
@@nickjones7604 Arya just comes around and one hit kills the Night King. How bad is that?
@@BoxforInters I think it caught everyone off guard and was a fitting end. The real problem here is them rushing the season and pulling that Bran shit. I dont have a problem w Arya doing some faceless man shit
@@nickjones7604 Of course it was kind of a big surprise, but in my opinion really unsatisfying. But I agree, most of the Bran stuff was annoying and protracted unnecessarily.
The music alone still gives me PTSD.
Man, that was so bad
The only thing I never understand is the fact that none of the producers or writers felt cringe after seeing this outcome. They gave us tension and stakes but still for no good reason besides staying alive. I mean, even Attack on Titan did better at making stakes and goals clearer even when the only stakes are losing some beloved characters, there’s still clear reason for that
Exactly my thought. HBO CEO saw this sh!t and he have green light? 🤦
No one cares about some weeb aot nonsense
@@threestars2164 “weeb aot nonsense” and yet it’s still a writing style reference
Arya my favourite character!
Watched this about 50 times over the years and it still makes no sense.
If I could go back in time and place myself into a position of influence and executive power over this show, I would do the following: Give the music composer a raise. Fire absolutely everyone else on the writing and production team.
I don't know if it was the build up to this but feel like this was the biggest let down second only to Bran becoming king. The attempt to make it look like everyone important was about to die when we all knew they weren't going to die, was the worst writing ever. When writers decide that averting expectations and theories is more important than the story itself, it can become a dumpster fire quickly.
It was a problem created by the story built by GRRM. You can't have some final battle at King's Landing without WInterfell getting wrecked, and Winterfell isn't getting wrecked without all the Starks dying. Then the story is definitely not going anywhere. GRRM wrote himself into a corner, which is probably one of the big reasons he hasn't finished the series.
The build up is always better than the resolution. Our brains imagine this nebulous ending that does not exist and cannot exist, so we are invariably disappointed. Consider the movie Seven. It had one of the best slow build-ups ever, but the ending was just stupid. It is so hard to craft a truly inspired resolution.
@@boredom2go I agree w/you upto the Seven part. Yeah, GRRM did write himself into a corner and so did the directors, producers ect in saying "look, this is going to be REALLY obvious, we HAVE got to alter this some how." But, by this pt they were being lured by Disney, other projects and were looking for a way out of the whole thing. And I mean really almost everyone. Even the actors, ect were probably if not vocally, inwardly were ready to move on. So us as fans, not soo pleased, but, everyone else, probably not putting up massive fights on the storyline
I am a little confused here. Averting expectations is what GOT is known for. Killing Ned and rob stark or Lannisters winning everything in the beginning. In the end, good guys keep winning too.
Were you hurt that not a single main character died in this battle? Was the dragon queen going crazy also something you knew was going to happen?
@@brocklandersx87 so you do want the good guys to lose a lot as well near the ending. Although that's not my kinda story but I understand. After the story favouring bad guys so much. It's not easy to see good guys getting a clean win. Also I can see that you don't think the translator lady or jorah as important characters.
@@brocklandersx87 not enough collateral, that's why I said, those who died aren't a big enough collateral. W.r.t dragon queen going crazy, i think that's what GOT is known for. I liked the 7th season. In the 8th i think they wanted to go back to the good old days and that's what screwed it up for me. I was disappointed but the same as before.
So she can fly and be faster than the speed of wind? I am confused on when she was able to become super human. You have hundreds of white walkers around the night king and not a single one went after her even though they were chasing her in the entire episode. The night king wanted to go after Brann for reason unknown besides him being the three eyed raven. He decided that now was a good time to go after him even though he lived in his domain up north for thousands of years. Nothing made sense and very unclear just like the cinematography in this episode.
No. She is an assassin which includes moving silently and without detection in the shadows and death strikes. That is why she was training for so long. Look at the AD&D charticer class Assassin. The reason the Night King moved their army south is because of the winter moving in which lasts much longer than our winters.
D&d kind of forgot about the white walkers
@@sparkythebuilder does she have cloak of invisibility?
Arya Stark is one hell of an Assasin that even the WW King cannot stop, nor even his minions of the undead.
@BuildTheFutureYouWant twas a joke right? Right?
