The Little Details (and Some Foreshadowing) in Game of Thrones

- This video is for entertainment purposes only. Some illustrations are maybe a reach or nonsensical, but I always enjoy looking for the tiny, small details. (Judging by the reception of the original video, I've added obvious text/explanations/subtitles because some viewers did not seem to grasp or understand the point of the old video.)
My favorite silly, little detail is the Curse of Robert Baratheon. It's an entertaining idea that whoever he touches during the Starks family greeting has been sentenced to death, commonly known as "The Midas Touch." A fine detail also is how Robert interacted with the surviving Stark children. Intentional or not, it's a cool interaction that basically presented Robert as a walking future plot-point. Another detail that I loved was Margaery's random line, "End up with a string of dead sparrow heads around my neck." If you have any more fun details you have noticed while watching Game of Thrones, please share and let me know in the comments.
This is a re-creation of my an old video, with added new contents and captions to illustrate the finer details. Hope you enjoy because all those countless hours, sleepless nights and unending edits would be so worth it creating this one.

I like how Theo kept complaining about how bad is to be a prisoner of Starks being ungrateful and stuff,until he got a taste how prisoners are actually treated from the Boltona
I mean, he was right, being told how lucky you are to be a prisoner is literally an abusive relationship. Just because it got horribly worse doesn’t negate his point. It’s just cruel irony.
He was a hostage and would have been killed by Ned if the Iron Islands did anything he didn't like.
Ned was polite to Theon but Theon had no love or true family for 10 yrs since age 9.
In essence he was very abused emotionally and mentally as well as neglected. He actually became a somewhat decent person considering.
@@soxpeewee not if the last thing we ever get is the sample Winds chapters from GRRM lol. Ruins his character arc and shows he was a shitty person from the beginning (like from a teenager, not born that way. His attitude and selfishness he showed in Book 1/Season 1 are apparently his truest self in GRRM's opinion)
@@Elliot226I haven't read the winds samples but can you elaborate on a particular instance of him showing his early shithead side?
@@Dustyplastic73I agree. Except how theon treated the merchants daughter is what made me a little bit satisfied he ended up at the mercy of the Bolton's
“Get her a dog she’ll be happier for it”. The Hound did do a better job then Lady and Nymeria at keeping Sansa and Arya safe
Ghost was by far the best he was so loyal to John Snow
A bit spoiler
You know I can't stop thinking about Robb when he died with the direwolf's head sewed on the place of his...and The Hound wearing a dog helmet.... 😢
F**k off, glorifying a POS like the Hound - a child killer and a would be rapist (he only stopped with Sansa because of her song) and thinking him better at protecting the Stark girls than two innocent animals, one that was killed while still a puppy, the other chased just days afterwards. If he didn't feared how the Lannisters would treat him for deserting, most likely he would have given Arya to Cersei. Some hero he is.
@@corneliusvonsixx2015he also changed the Stark sigil from a direwolf running on a field of white, to a direwolfs head, when he marched south against the Lannisters.
In the books, Nymeria fights with a pack of wolves against the Starks' enemies. Arya and she meet a few times and the development of the two runs almost in parallel.
The best foreshadowing in the show is the dead dire wolf mother. She was supposed to be north of the wall, but came south. She was killed by a stag antler stab in the neck found with the dead stag who was disemboweled. Stag is house Baratheon and Robert was disemboweled by the boar, Then Ned was executed by a sword cutting through his neck under the orders of Joffrey, after Ned went south. And the dead wolf left the five wolf pups alone in the world.
Never noticed the Gilly talking about her sisters dragged out to the woods with a rope and cut to Stannis’ wife. Or Margaery picking a necklace for going into the Sept saying if she left it to Joffrey then she would have a necklace of dead sparrow heads.
Details like this remind me that I’m not crazy for re-binging this show’s first 4-6 seasons lol. It’s funny because I always found that scene to be kinda out of place. The symbolism is perfect.
All of the dire wolves profeciced the fate of their owners. I realiced at the very begining and I am still shocked for how many people miss that crucial detail
-The mother is found out of place killed by a stag. Means troble for the house Stark but also the head of the family is killed byt the royal house away from his lands.
-The albino puppy who's also mute represents the bastard. When he's fully grown he often wanders off into the wild lands of the north becouse that's where he belongs. John too adapts to life in the north and ends up retiring to live there.
-Sansa Choses to side against her family becouse that's how she's been raised. As a result, her own wolf, the ovedient, gentle wolf Lady (wich symbolices her as one of the Starks) is killed when she had done nothing wrong. Little after that she looses all of her autonomy and becomes a toy to her captors.
-The wild pup, Nymeria is scared away and lost in orther to save her. Then Arya herself has to run away and give up her name in orther to survive.
-Both Rob's and Rickon's wolves die or are shown dead right before their masters die. The moment I saw them dead I knew the character was as good as dead and I wasn't wrong.
-Bram's wolf dies when Bram himself becomes not Bram Stark anymore, but the three eyed raven. He sacrifices himself to kill the white walkers like Bram sacrifices his own humanity for the cause.
You can argue that some of them don't count becouse Sansa regains her Stark tytle and Arya comes back but here's the thing: in the books Nymeria is reuniting a short of army of wolves, wich may as well mirror Arya's return, and whatever happened with Sansa at the end wasn't in the books yet.
Also, Jon’s wolf was white, which foreshadows him being a Targaryen
Beans wolf dies when bran dies. It’s not Bran. Bloodraven is skinwalking in him. Like a warg.
Not only that, but in the books, it is said that ghost never really speaks, but when everyone left with the five wolves, only John heard ghost's voice (even though he never makes any noise or voice). And also, ghost is completely white with red eyes (symbolising blood raven and Targaryen) and way different from the other five pups. Seriously, these small hints makes the books and the show worth watching all over again. But alas, whenever you begin with such greatness all over again, it gets tarnished due to lack of the final books and the atrocity Dumb and Dumber made.
I tell it true, that one speech Theon cranked out of nowhere was fucking great
Absolutely. It's so epic! And the music makes an already epic speech that much more better.
Are you referring to the rehash of Shakespeares King Edward V?
@@sidgarrett7247Henry V
Which one
Exceptional improv chops with the hornblower bit. Prime Theon could put Euron's SSJ squidgod super saiyan form in a headlock
there is a bit in the books when Catelyn is at Renly's camp as an envoy, where she sees his armor. She remarks that the green plate is so polished she can see her own reflection on it, as if it were in the bottom of a pond. "That's the look of a drowned woman", she thinks. Cut to the latter books and she is Lady Stoneheart, having been resurrected by Beric Dondarrion after having her throat cut and thrown in the river. She looks exactly like a bloated drowned corpse looks.
- Show us your muscles! 😁 You'll be a soldier!
- I'm a cripple
LMAO 😂
My aunt once told me, "Be careful what you say" as a young man(especially about others). Foreshadowing is so real IRL as well. I'm old enough now to have seen people's words come back to them. Life is funny that way
well said
True, my uncle once said in a very drunken state; if ever a son of mine is gay i will cut off my balls. About 5 years later his youngest son came out of the closet, and later he died of prostate cancer.. Don’t fuck around with your words
The way sansa yelled about lady now that was some good acting! The first time we saw her speak back
The hodor “hold the door” twist was one of THE BEST scenes in the entire show imo. Losing hodor sucked balls tho
the "how do you know there is an, afterwards" was pretty cold considering he was trippin mad balls and knows the future
"trippin mad balls" is the perfect representation of bran's situation lmao
i've watched the show only twice. on my second watch, "you MUST promise me! NO. More. Climbing!" my heart broke to a million pieces
This collection of clips really put me through emotional turmoil.
I love how Lord Baelish says... people die even in their toilets... just before Twyin did it.
My favorite bit of foreshadowing because I actually caught it in action was when Bran, Meera, Jojen and Hodor were hiding in an abandoned castle and Bran told them the story of an old cook at the night fort who killed the kings son and cooked him into a pie. The king likes it so much that he asks for a second slice. The gods punish the cook and turn him into a white rat who only eats his own young. It wasn't for murder the gods punished the cook, or even for feeding the king his son. "He killed a guest beneath his roof, thats something the gods _can't_ forgive."
This seen happens in the episode after the red wedding and immediately cuts to Walder Frey eating and talking to his sons, while cleaning the bloody floors after the Red Wedding, as a rat walks along the table.
I immediately knew thats what would happen to Walder Frey and I was *pumped* for his punishement.
TLDR: Bran tells story about king eating his own sons and how gods can't forgive killing a guest under your roof, foreshadowing walder frey's death.
PS: Can you pin this so ppl see, this is def one of the best foreshadowings in got. Thank uuu
This isn't a very good foreshadowing or nearly the metaphor you want it to be. A coincidence at best, a stretch as worst. It wont be pinned, and you will have to move on with your life looking for random, not foreshadowing, moments through the series.
@@reidsimonson bro why r u so salty what did i ever do to you??? did you really see my comment with 36 likes and decide to write this? are you ok? im not gonna argue about wether this is foreshadowing or not because while it definitely is, i don’t care enough. i have other things to do, and i don’t wanna keep replying to stupid internet beef in a youtube comment section. i in fact do not live my life solely looking for foreshadowing in got, you might be doing that and im not judging. anw i guess i just wanted to reply to see what prompted you to write this out, and honestly wasn’t gonna reply but didn’t want _this_ to be the only reply under my comment. hope you have a great day and you feel better. you could try crocheting or maybe rock climbing or smth, both very time consuming hobbies.
@@reidsimonson Dude it's so on the nose it hurts, really obvious deliberate foreshadowing. A lot more blatant than most of the ones in this video
@@reidsimonson The "He killed a guest beneath his roof, that's something the Gods can't forgive" with the Red Wedding happening 2 episodes later is the most obvious foreshadowing in the damn show. You are daft as fuck my guy lmfao, godspeed to you. Also, Arya quite literally cooks Walder Freys sons into a pie at the end of season 6, which also DIRECTLY lines up with the story that Bran told. (like word for word)
I'm just now realizing how incredibly stupid Lancel is. He's known all along that Cersei had wildfire hidden all over the city, and he never said shit to anyone.
Agreed, but he probably thought it was all used up in the Siege of King's Landing.
Or it's another example of really bad writing.
@@adamwatson6916a character that’s shown to be stupid being stupid is not bad writing (tho GOT has a lot of bad writing)
The wildfire he knew about saved Kings Landing(for the Lannisters), and by the time Cersei used it to burn the Sept of Baelor(not the city), he was a completely reformed zealot. Stop overthinking it.
It took you *how many years* to realize that a guy who ran off to find a breastplate stretcher is stupid?
Every Stark suffered a loss after breaking an oath or lying. They were literally honor-bound.
Uh no. Rickon?
@@ironaston9858they didn’t say it was exclusively after breaking an oath or lying.
@@ocifer "every Stark" is exclusive
@@DogInATacoyes, but I’m saying Rickon didn’t lose his life after HE broke an oath. He lost it after his family broke an oath. That was what I meant.
Sansa especially
The littlefinger monologue also foreshadows how he sells Sansa (Jeyne Poole in the books) to Ramsay Bolton.
always thought marrying sansa would be my dream come true. bet that jonas boy thought so too
@@last7509 Bet he's a little dissapointed now lol
In the books it's Tywin Lannister who sends Jeyne Poole to Ramsay Bolton
book littlefinger would never sell her, especially to the boltons
@@adamkleiman4281 Yes. I was saying that Sansa's character here is influenced by Jayne, not that Little finger sold her in the books.
@23:16 - The real detail here (at least for me) isn't that she ends up surrounded by dead sparrows. It's the clue that if Olenna hadn't conspired to kill Joffrey, he would have protected her from the sparrows where Tommen could not. That's one situation in which his ruthlessness would have likely helped them.
doubt. cersei wouldn't have told him.
Without Joffey's death, Tywin would be alive too, which means no sparrows in KL
definitely worth it. sometimes i get excited because i think of a couple of scenes/lines that are connected that would support the point you're making in a video, meanwhile you've moved on and are connecting things i never would have thought of.
Glad you enjoyed it. There were a lot of scenes I regret not adding it. Only realized it after finishing the video. Like after Bran says "You're a good man" to Theon, I should've put Jory and Jaime's convo:
"I saw the youngest of the Greyjoy lads at Winterfell. It was like seeing a shark on a mountaintop."
"Theon? He's a good lad."
Jaime then replied, "I doubt it."
It's such a good transition to Tyrion talking smack to Theon, and why he didn't like him, just like his brother. Another one was Lancel's continuing convo with Tyrion and talking about wildfire. It sets up how Lancel was the very first character who mentioned wildfire (I might be wrong at this) and then ended up being killed with it. Wish I've added these, but the video was already long, and editing it already took a lot time.
If you have any details you liked that I missed (and not included in my other videos), please share in the comments. I might create part 2. Thanks.
@@hushhodorpretty ironic he reveals her secret wildfire plan, and then ends up killed by a wildfire plan he wasn’t in the know about.
RUclips GIVE THIS MAN HIS ALGORITHM
y'all know season 8 was awesome. you'll all accept it when you mature
@@last7509Nice b8 m8
@@last7509 wtf?
Bran thinking, "You used that hand to push me, so I pushed events to take it."
But he loses his right and pushes him with his left
When it got to the part about Margeary and "the sparrows," I literally shouted,
"Oh my god! The Sparrows!"
I completely missed that connection before. That was brilliant!
Could you imagine if Rickon just zigzagged when escaping Ramsay?
don't think, it lowers chances of hitting one of many arrows still
Poor kid was disoriented and probably starving. I doubt even if he had the ability to he’d have done it well enough to survive.
He needed to die for the story
@@emilyamaro9263 so disoriented he ran a perfect straight, lmao
lol
“My real father lost his head in kings landing” 😭
@00:50 i always forget how stupidly funny it is when rob moves to hug ned's wife lol "Caaaaaaaat!" :D
I dont care what anyone says, that speech from theon was nothing short of incredible.
wat is dead may never die ❤❤❤❤
This video right here made me a happy Game of Thrones fan again after so many years. Sadly nothing can make me recover the love and passion i had for this show before it ended the way it ended with character's completely butchered in terms of story arcs. Man... this was such a masterpiece of storytelling...
Wasn't expecting to be so moved by the Theon part of this... what a great character.
This is an incredibly well made video. I can see the amount of thought and care went into it. The editing is seamless and very digestible. I don’t know if it’s just a single person who made this or multiple but either way, great job guys. You deserve your flowers.
Man they built Jon and Brandon up so much to amount to nothing when they "took over" the writing. How crazy.
"Show us your muscles."
*Bran flexes*
*chuckle* "You'll be a three-eyed raven."
Ned: Robert that's a lot to take in, could almost make my head spin
Robert: About that...
6 direwolf cubs
Robs dies with him, mounted onto his body and they suffer the same fate.
Brans dies along with bran. Gives his life for him to become the 3 eyed raven.
Rickons, shared his fate with rickon. Both killed by the boltons, shaggydog by the umbers on orders from the boltons.
Arya's, as free as arya herself.
Sansa's shared the fate with sansa. Both wrongly prosecuted by the lannisters. Which lead to the death of both lady and ironically Sansa against all odds became the lady of winterfell.
Jon's, the only one standing out. Being white as snow. Shared his fate and never faltered. Jon snow coming back and becoming a ghost himself even seems fitting.
GOT was SO GOOD!
Its a crime how the producers did things after season 5
"Is that what empty means!"
I always crack up at that line
You can immediately tell from the poor lighting which scenes are from the last seasons 😂
"Guarding this boy from you your Grace" x.x
The story had Karma Themed Justice all over the place. Lord Eddard Stark beheaded an innocent man . . . he was later an innocent man beheaded. Rob cut off Lord Karstark's head for disobeying an order he wasn't necessarily wrong about - Rob never gave him the justice of Killing Jamie Lannister. Later the Karstarks allied with The Boltons for that reason alone. Jamie crippled a boy - later to become crippled. Its all over. The writing created 4 perfect seasons. Starting Season 5 - even though every season had great stuff - the quality dropped and dropped into nothingness - confusion with dropped story lines and an ending that makes no sense.
Robert was a kinslayer, he killed his cousin in battle, and let his nephews to be slaughtered and the bodies presented to him on the throne. Kinslayers are cursed in Westeros.
Man this edit alone was way better than the entire last season
Oh my, Hodors story always kills me and gives me shivers
Him, too.
7:00 wish they gave sansa more lines like that, her yell is devestating. Almost a roar. Instead they made her whisper the whole show, which makes sense at the start as shes abused and tries not to be noticed. But once she earns back her life and what not surely she can raise her voice where needed.
She had become powerful, and no longer needed to.
I thought I was a GOT fan, this is next level 👍🏾. Also, that hodor scene 😮 Bran and all honest ned looking at there feet before lying. Dope video!
Jon Snow does it, too, when he's trying to convince Mance that he's defecting from the Night's Watch. The first time, he looks down at his feet, then says he wants to be free. And Mance is like, try again buddy, lol.
In the books , the mother of direwolfs that they had is murderd by the stags horn. That sould be clue enoguh.
Wasn't that a stag in the Pilot?
A Deer sure, but same shit no?
And why say murdered by a Stags Horn, not too many murderous Stags running and jumping around!!??? These YT rules where you can't say killed is only for the creators. Like say the Stag "deleted " the Dire Wolf Mother. Which is so dumb. Meaning no disrespect. Maybe English is second to your language, and I am nitpicking. Forgive my pedagogical replys
I do not think "Kill the boy" was a foreshadowing for killing Ollie. That was a direct message for the internal conflict Jon was in and not a passive comment for foreshadowing.
I think it was both. He was told to "kill the boy", but failed and the boy ended up killing him... but he came back, because "he always comes back" and then finally killed the boy (and the boy).
These edits are almost as good as watching the show again! The most beautiful edits I've ever seen. And I watch a lot of got content.
You are incredibly talented, thank you for all the hard work that you put into these it really does show
3:01 King Robert tells Bran he will be a soldier. Not only is he wrong about that, but Bran has King Robert's job as king after it's all done.
And I love hearing Ramsey's gurgling scream as he's eaten alive.
22:47 this foreshadowing gave me goosebumps after realising what it meant
very well edited
The editing is awesome
This is a very good video. You did a great job. You deserve ten times the views!
Poor Theon had noble ideals of a ferocious last, stand, but at heart he's a Northerner. His Ironborn "brothers" are cowardly brigands.
This was friggin AMAZING!
Damn these are good, especiallly shireen’s conversation with Gilly and where that ended. Then Margery and what kind of necklace she would get from Joff! Never made the connection before.
If only they hadn't deviated too much from the books and when ran out of material, had consulted George and some proper writers about what to do next. This show wouldn't be, "The greatest show ever made with the least amount of rewatchability."
Theon’s speech tho and then what Ramsey does to him 😭
A clever foreshadowing was stumbling upon the deer and Wolf that killed each other in the woods, both being symbols of each other houses, symbolizing much of the mutual destruction wrought upon each another.
lol I love the voice drop from Marguerie . It’s gone from a higher pitch full on people pleasing vibe to a bass drop ‘we need to get the fuck outta here, fuck the gods etc.vibe. Love her, hate the fact she didn’t escape the GOT death , no one is safe narrative:( . She could/should have won. I
One thing that i never understood is that he never touched Snow and yet he ended up dying even if it was only temporarily.
He did touch his mother right?
theon's speech was fire
I knew the foreshadowing of the books was gonna be next level with brans chapter. The whole chapter about how good her is, how confident and knowledgeable of the towers to then be so unceremoniously thrown by Jamie
10:15 never noticed Reek🗣️📢 drops my boy Wex name in his pointless battle cry.... nice little Easter egg back when the writing was still superb and George was still around to look over d&d shoulders❤🗡️🙊
Some of these are a stretch but I loved it all the same. Good stuff!
This is a beautiful video, so well made ❤
I remember reading that chapter of Bran, and him imagining being a knight, and me knowing I had 4 more books to go, I was so inclined to believe that was his destiny. That he'd go to King's Landing (as was planned) and train, and be a bad ass knight who wind up doing some heroic deed by scaling a wall free hand or some shit.
Truly, if you haven't read the books, you should. He does such a good job breathing life into these characters and making you care about them. Except Sansa, but honestly I take some comfort in the fact that he doesn't know how to write for a teenage girl when they're not just another tomboy or having prophetic dreams. However, I have found on rereads that her chapters contain some of the most revealing information pertaining to the plot and what's to come, but you just have to sift through a very boring POV who does not focus at all on those details.
Honestly though, bad things happening to people who touched or were acknowledged by Robert is a nothing burger even it if is funny. Seriously. Think of one character who didn't suffer some terrible trauma. Having family members murdered right in front of them, lovers, being tortured, mutilated, SA'd, burned alive, you name it, one of those things if not more have happened to all the main characters, and if none of those things happened to them it was because they died before it could.
calling most of these foreshadowing would be giving it too much credit and at the same discrediting the actual purpose of many of these scenes
Well for God's sake please don't give a single example.
@@krodmandoon3479 Examples? Alright.
The starks and Robert: Showing the strong bond between robert and ned, and how he is even close to catelyn while his own wife and ned could not be more estranged. Him not knowing Arya's name is likely a showing that she is much less known and viewed as of less importance than her sister due to being the second daughter.
Ned talking about Bran maybe ruling a castle or holdfast is used as a catalyst to bring up Arya's wishes to be able to do similar things with her life as her male siblings could.
Locke saying "here this should help you remember" as he cuts off Jaimes hand is a fkn throwaway line.
Hodor helping Bran down the hall and him holding a door of a cave shut are not related, he didnt even go down a hall.
The hound becoming Sansa's "dog" and her being happier for it is nonsense, given 1. he was joffrey's dog, and 2. she did not actually recognise that he was protecting her and still as scared of him as of any of the othert kingsguard
Can someone explain what "The Seven Degress of Death" means?? i'm feeling lost there
Riff off "six degrees of Kevin Bacon", essentially that everything's connected
tyrion absolutely roasting theon down to his dead brothers and gets ofended when theon claps back with one imp joke. lol, lmao even
there is also one at the beginning before they found the dead direwolf with pups as they saw a dead stallion and concluded that it was killed by a wild boar, and that's also happened to Robert Baratheon.
Did we all just miss that Theon was the best character in the show the whole time?
"I hate bad investments. They haunt me."
Says the man that invested in the only woman he loved but didn't love him back. Even if by some miracle he managed to win the duel, it still wouldn't have worked out.
Well edited
What an amazing video ! Explains a lot of things. THANX
I'm excited to watch your videos-we missed a LOT. Jaimie loses the hand he used to push Bran out of the window. Check the lighting and props, too, yah. I made a choice-and I chose wrong. This is not a game for wrong moves.
Rickon doesnt die thou. The show is fan fiction.
Reaching all over the place on this some of them made me laugh.
My man has clearly never even heard of the books, the links of sansa being a pretty lady and then marrying ramsey left me baffled.. honestly if you think the shows full of foreshadowing read the books theyll blow his mind
A lot of the foreshadowing in this video was created out of editing and using things said in the series completely out of context to link it to something that happened much later in the series, often in episodes released in the seasons when they got ahead of the books.
I’m sorry, when Jaime takes his helmet off for the first time, I thought it was Denis Leary
what a great video!
Kudos
*bran stares at his feet*
“I don’t want to be king”
Put some some jergens on that greyscale and see me in two weeks you should be fine, marvels of technology
Nice video 👏
How gr8 every line can back 🤌
4:13 wait a minute i NEVER connected the parallels of Jaime and Bran this way woah-
Not looking at his feet to lie to Rob...DAMN...
there was also a crow flying south. That's the same direction as kings landing, maybe it is related to the pig who killed robert??
There were trees in the first episode, maybe that's foreshadowing Euron building his fleet?
The crow flying south is to show the three eye raven becoming king. It was all set up from the beginning.
Great video!
I still think Arya actually says 'Bertie' not Mercy 2:43
This is the best of D&D
Well done. ❤️
P a lot of these aren't foreshadow this is just this guy's theory and the theory is kind of ridiculous
You’re Seeing a lot of connections that aren’t there.
No. They aren't. The books are amazing.
@@eamonlyons8069 unfortunately we will probably never know. This series isn’t getting finished in Martin’s lifetime.
Hold the door still fuck me up till this day
Poor little wex. But hes learning to read and write.
"Kill the boy." Shows Ollie in the next shot. lol
Bran did not die he just has others living inside his mind besides him sort of like multiple personalities/entities.
Gosh, this just reminds me of how disappointed I was in the last few seasons.
"Bran died and became the three-eyed raven"
How did Bran die?! I thought he is Bran, but Bran is also the three-eyed raven. It's just Bran with almost infinite knowledge or not?
Robert’s laughter is the best 😂
It sucks that at the end none of Ned's sons are left to carry on his legacy.
