No death in TV has made you feel bad not just for the death but that we made fun of the character the whole time for something that we only learned to appreciate during their final moment.
I know this is a 2yr old comment. But, I literally was like "damn, that's some well written, circular story telling right there." Literally a character given purpose for 1 specific event which that event was also the spawning of his characters purpose. Well crafted.
The only worthy death in this show. everybody else dies because of circumstance or pride or something stupid, Hodor was the only one dying to protect someone he cared about
No, what makes this one unique is that the person he loves mind-controlled him to die, and the horror of it disabled Hodor for the majority of his life.
@@lorpsandorps3729 I wonder if Bran really died that day and became the three eyed Raven, or that the horror of what he has done simply caused him to pretend Bran was dead.
@@tinkersz no. ramsay death was not worth it, the dog may ripped him out straightly to the head and die soon. sansa should kill him slowly by give the legs first alive to the dog while it still one piece in body. one per one day. first the legs, then the hands then all his body to the head.
Not one of these people freaked out when the "hold the door" transitioned to "hodor." this scene broke my brain with that revelation, that hodors whole life had been bulding up to this moment. And its right under our noses the whole scene but I didnt notice until the direct verbal transition. The revelation hit me harder than the actual death.
I think they didn't freak out because they had made that connection before the actual transition occurs. It becomes more and more obvious until it's right in your face.
This is an absolutely beautiful scene.. It was also the scene that made me feel like a dirty scumbag when I watched this.. The whole time I was thinking what a joke and how stupid hodor was.. He was insignificant in the story to me.. He was still a very likable character and I even liked making fun of the dumb oaf.. I know it's a fictional story but it made me realize how sad it would be to go through your entire life being laughed at and looked down upon and even then no one will ever know the noble sacrifice he made. Hats off to all the hodor's out there.
All of us cripples, bastards, and broken things know that struggle in a way. I always rooted for Bran and his band of brave misfits. They’re the most underestimated in the entire series.
This scene was sad and I cried, but it was also one of the most amazing storylines I’ve ever seen in tv. It bends time in a fascinating way and it gives Hodors character so much depth. I think people thought that Bran did that to him, but I think that Hodor had had the seizure long before Bran was born and Bran was witnessing history. It was his fate to be in that moment in that time. His entire life and destiny in that world led up to the moment that he saved Bran, so much so that he only said the word “Hodor”, a lifelong homage to his ultimate purpose and sacrifice.
I think the reason why we all get sad at this scene is because the entire time in the previous seasons we've treated Hodor as the funny side character or the innocent buffoon who can do no wrong. Fans talked about him being the one left standing cuz there could be no way he had any real significance to the overall plot and therefore had no reason to get killed off. And then this scene happens and all of a sudden his destiny is realised as is the reason why he kept saying the one word the whole time. Then when we see him heroically sacrificing himself to save his friends, we realise that the one innocent character that we held onto for a quick laugh now and then is gone. Killed because the situation in the show just got darker. It reminds me of Dobby's death in Harry Potter. That even the sweat and innocent fool has to pay a price for a higher cause.
The most comedic character turned out to be the most tragic. Someone we thought we were laughing with turned out to be someone whose life was destroyed and we mocked him for it. The collective grief here is for us mocking him, when really he was a tragic hero who finally is getting the acclaim he deserves. The entire purpose of his life was to hold the door, and he is a hero for doing so!
The amount of grief I experienced in that scene was just crazy. I always felt pity for Hodor and wondered how he came about that word. I'll never forget that day I watched it for the first time. I wasn't myself for a few days after.
thanks g! i had a really similar reaction to you, i had to sub and use your reaction. this is my first video and i really appreciate all the youtubers being so cool about using clips of their reactions! (:
And he did become king in the end!! Damn I wish the last season showed us Bran being the master mind for it all. He built the wall, he met with Aegon the conqueror. He agreed to be steward. All of it. Would have blown our minds!!
@@PowertoProtectYourPeace If only they would've shown him doing SOMETHING lol I think that's the issue with characters who are all knowing/seeing.. they become boring because they can literally do anything & they know everything, so they could technically solve all of the issues, but then there'd be no story lol
Totally. Had to see it again and while watching it I thought how where they able to pull this off in such a perfect way and absolutely destroying everything they have done before by that horrible last season. I don't even recognize some characters in season 8. Season 7 had a lot of weak stuff too but 8 is just straight up trash.
@@dragonhunterx5929 ik right. I was waiting for Jon Snow to have a dragon (Viserion) breath fire on him and it be revelealed he is a Targaryen / dragon too like Dany. Idk what the book says or anyone really but damn Jon snow having a dragon test him of being a true Targaryen would have been a cool way to reveal his secret and have him be recognized.
Everyone cried for one side character. That's where writing can get you. It comes before you sense and tear your heart apart before you can understand.
I think why this is one of the most powerful scenes ever is due to the timing. 6 and a 1/2 seasons invested over years, and it was starting to seem that the horror would never end. At this point in the series there were so many questions, and no clear winner. We knew going in, that anyone could die at any given time, but you always hoped the nice characters would somehow survive, knowing deep down they probably would not. The writing was incredible to this point, and Hold the Door becoming Hodor was genius. The best ending to any of the episodes in the series.
I just cried the whole duration of the video. I loved Hodor so much I named one of my dog Hodor and he also passed unexpectedly at a young age due to a heart condition. And the music…
as person who has an Aunt who suffers from seizures, Hodor's death reminds of that and it hurts more. But I not a person who turns away. it just reminds of how much I love them.
that sucks man, i'm sorry for your aunts struggles bro. Hodor's death scene gutted me too, I saw so many reactions that mirrored my experience I had to make a compilation lol
This was my initial reaction to the scene. No, no, no, no, no, no, NO, NO, in an infinite expanse of NOs from the Dimension of "NO" with a statue dedicated to their great creator, the God of NO, who wept tears of NO that filled the oceans with NO and brought about billions of creatures who were NO!
I juts started watching GOT close to 2 weeks ago been binging it non stop. Just finished this episode and had to come here to feel better about myself for being a grown man balling my eyes out..
Whenever I come back and watch these reactions, it breaks my heart to think how badly written and paced the final 2 seasons were. Could have been the greatest series ever made
He was My fav cause he was like a Little puppy so gentle nice and caring a dummy but so loyal when she Said hold the door i knew emidiatly why he kept saying that and i was just laying and crying for like an hour straight
i just wanted this episode for the first time. The dents in my skin left from my nails as i'm trying so hard to not cry are slowing fading. Dame the ending of this episode was so touching. I bawled so hard. I had to come see if others felt how i felt. My reaction mirrors the people in this well done compilation.
dude i cry along with all of them up until 7:00 focusing on the girl in the black chair, and 7:06 when she smacks her friend.... bro i started crying again but from laughter and i reply it like 20 times and i cannot stop laughing
One of the best scenes in the entire show for sure! So emotional in the heroic death of a loveable character that we all knew and loved and grew a little with together. By far the most unbelievable twist and one of the best if not the best scene in the whole show. Scenes like these proves once again how amazing GOT really was as a show. Disappointing that D&D had to rush the series. We could've easily had 2 or 3 more seasons or more.
Isnt it wonderful to see who people from all over the world react quite in the same way to Hodors death? Ok, some people are watching the show just for boobs and violence.
What a testament to GRRM’s genius writing. Also to Jack Bender that directed this episode and Ramin Djawadi that scored it. The final 15 minutes of this episode is beautifully heartbreaking.
when we didn't know hodor's story yet and laughed and thought he was cute and when we found out that hodor means hold the door and his whole life was his destiny to protect the king, it broke my heart when we found out the true story of his life determination hodor
I wonder if Bran really died that day and became the three eyed Raven, or that the horror of what he has done simply caused him to pretend Bran was dead.
Just rewatched this compilation, how to watch grown adults break when a show was at its peak. I remember the raw emotion I felt after watching this and spent much more on it than Jon Snows!
It’s funny as an 18 year old I used to gloat about how things didn’t make me cry and these days I cry over fictional death scenes… good to know I found my sense of personal awareness In this world!
We all thought if he was a warrior he would have been like the hound or the mountain but this episode showed that he was a bigger and stronger warrior than both of em combined.
His mother said Leave the fighting to the little lords. And immediately after he became Hodor the greatest warrior the stark house ever had the fortune to have.
No matter how manly you can be: Hodor's death will kill your soul.
Krash face not kill it... cure it.
it will fuck you UP
Agreed
Started GOT last week. Can’t remember the last time I cried until seeing this episode today 😂
Still remember watching that episode. Cried like friggin baby. Don’t think i’ll ever watch it again.
He didn't just give his life in death...he gave his whole life...
What an amazing piece of writing...brought nations to tears...
Absolutely and well said 🥲
Me- I never cry.
Hodor - Hold my door.
LMMFAO
This comment xD Nothing better than LMAO after a tearing up hahaha
Wtf, this still made me laugh and cry
damn this joke just hits different
An unsung hero, misunderstood until their final sacrifice.
Not all heroes hold weapons. They hold the door

Jorah died protecting his queen
@@RavensTheNextDynasty uh
Hodors Death. The only way to make fullgrown men cry like a baby.
And that's okay
5 years later and this is still heartbreaking.
Sure is. I just finished the episode now (3rd entire rerun of the entire series) and although I know it’s coming….
Still brutally knocks me
The realization on their faces when the connect "hold the door" and "Hodor" is just so satisfying to watch
I know this is a 2yr old comment. But, I literally was like "damn, that's some well written, circular story telling right there."

The only worthy death in this show. everybody else dies because of circumstance or pride or something stupid, Hodor was the only one dying to protect someone he cared about
Jorah's death would fit that category aswell, although the actual scene wasn't as emotional. Season 8 ain't canon anyway.

Why do I torture myself rewatching these scenes and these reactions time and time again? ●~●
'Cause we enjoy suffering.
who else watches this and cries
anyone with a soul
luis cervantes Me still!!
luis cervantes there were only two moments in got that made me cry. Sadly this isn’t one
Everytime, everytime...

I was a little shocked about this myself.

HOLD THE DOOR
@@Saaranshhh 😭
so your saying that "dumb people" are useless?
Genius writing to carry that connection for so long.
Hodor was such a pure character, all kindness. That's why his death (apart from the revelation) is so hard.
So true
You know a show is good when it can elicit so much raw emotion in people .

HE HELD THAT DAMN DOOR!
Not ment as a joke, but he really was a man of his words and I think he knew all the time, in a way, what will happen.
Yeah. And what if he didn't? All his life he just said one word and he didn't know why. He's just a victim. But then again, both are just tragic af
Of course he knew. He experienced his own death, and it broke his brain.
@@astherine Did you watch the show? He knew because he saw the vision of the future. That's what was happening when he had the epileptic fit/seizure.
fantastic!! the dead silence in the end of all the videos, devastating :(

Doesn't matter how tough you think you are, this scene will break you. Even now, years on, I can't watch it without crying...

thanks bro! i know man, absolutely gutted me RIP hodor :(
51 years old and i still cry
Hodor Azor Ahai. Hodor, first of his name! Protector of the realm!
👑
Why do I put myself through this?
Because the most tragic things are also the most beautiful.
I’m still crying rewatching the episode 😢
No man can control their emotions when they see a guy finish a duty by his whole life , no matter how manly you are .
Scenes like this that make me angry about the last season and how rushed it felt story wise.

2 types of people watching GoT. Criers and liars.
I cried every time when I heard “hold the door”
the best compilation to the most gut wrenching episode this series put us through.
I just cried the whole duration of the video. I loved Hodor so much I named one of my dog Hodor and he also passed unexpectedly at a young age due to a heart condition. And the music…
This scene taught me never judge a persons character based on there condition. An everything happens for a reason.

When a show captures your attention and emotions to where you are totally engrossed you know it’s a phenomenal. One of the best series ever. Period.
EVERYTIME....I cry, ..hands down, one of the best scenes.
2020 and I'm crying even harder 😭
Man this part makes me crying a lot...Game of Thrones it's increasingly difficult to see, cause each episode is a surprise for us..... 😢
definitely! every season is better than the last, i can't imagine what season 7 is going to be like!

Aun lo veo y me hace llorar, este capitulo es uno de los mas brutales con tan solo esa escena...Hodor
The scene hit me so hard I'll never forget it!!!!
I never watch entire GOT, and this month i doing marathon watch from season 1, but this scene hit me hard 😣😭
Almost 4 years and a shitty finale later that scene STILL makes me cry like a child!
i came to enjoy all the tears....yes, fresh meat.
It is interesting to see people of all different races and backgrounds responding so intensely to this scene. Everyone is the same on the inside...
I didn't cry when I saw it but I did when I saw people's reactions
Silence says it all. What a true hero and lived to “Hold the Door...” - Hodor
watch "hold the door" again and again, I always cry.
when we didn't know hodor's story yet and laughed and thought he was cute and when we found out that hodor means hold the door and his whole life was his destiny to protect the king, it broke my heart when we found out the true story of his life determination hodor
I wonder if Bran really died that day and became the three eyed Raven, or that the horror of what he has done simply caused him to pretend Bran was dead.
You know you nailed it when the scene makes people sick to their stomachs, hands on their foreheards
I guess I was the only one who's reaction was like
"Oh damn, that circular story telling. Bad ass..."
Everybody gangsta till hodor starts screaming hold the dor
Him seeing what he would have to do and making it his whole life to fulfill what needed to be done. His death is the saddest moment in any show
Just re-watched the series and now my new favorite thing is watching reactions.
LITERALLY every persons reaction is the same. The Hodor heard round the world
I will miss game if thrones so much, never knowing what was going to happen. Seeing people's reaction too
Just rewatched this compilation, how to watch grown adults break when a show was at its peak.
I remember the raw emotion I felt after watching this and spent much more on it than Jon Snows!
your reaction to Hodor's mighty sacrifice will show you what kind of a human you are
It’s funny as an 18 year old I used to gloat about how things didn’t make me cry and these days I cry over fictional death scenes… good to know I found my sense of personal awareness In this world!
Really well done!
thanks! loved your reaction!
When you realise how he became hodor, that shit kills you inside.
We all thought if he was a warrior he would have been like the hound or the mountain but this episode showed that he was a bigger and stronger warrior than both of em combined.
Very few films or productions have made me cry… this episode made me sob
The music on that scene is brilliant.
Not all heroes wear capes...some just hold the door
His mother said
Leave the fighting to the little lords.
And immediately after he became Hodor the greatest warrior the stark house ever had the fortune to have.
The moment of silence everyone had when the episode was over 😥
watching it now and still god damn onions for Hodor.
