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.

“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.
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?
@@mitchellkoch3065I 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
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?
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 😂
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.
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
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
@00:50 i always forget how stupidly funny it is when rob moves to hug ned's wife lol "Caaaaaaaat!" :D
RUclips GIVE THIS MAN HIS ALGORITHM
y'all know season 8 was awesome. you'll all accept it when you mature
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
In the books , the mother of direwolfs that they had is murderd by the stags horn. That sould be clue enoguh.
This collection of clips really put me through emotional turmoil.
Could you imagine if Rickon just zigzagged when escaping Ramsay?
the "how do you know there is an, afterwards" was pretty cold considering he was trippin mad balls and knows the future
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
“My real father lost his head in kings landing” 😭
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.
"Show us your muscles."
*Bran flexes*
*chuckle* "You'll be a three-eyed raven."
"Guarding this boy from you your Grace" x.x
Can someone explain what "The Seven Degress of Death" means?? i'm feeling lost there
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
theon's speech was fire
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
I dont care what anyone says, that speech from theon was nothing short of incredible.
wat is dead may never die ❤❤❤❤
@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.
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.
Some of these are a stretch but I loved it all the same. Good stuff!
What an amazing video ! Explains a lot of things. THANX
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!
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).
How gr8 every line can back 🤌
Wasn't expecting to be so moved by the Theon part of this... what a great character.
Robert’s laughter is the best 😂
Well edited
Theon’s speech tho and then what Ramsey does to him 😭
Thanks for the video
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.
I still think Arya actually says 'Bertie' not Mercy 2:43
Well done. ❤️
One thing that i never understood is that he never touched Snow and yet he ended up dying even if it was only temporarily.
Great video!
I’m sorry, when Jaime takes his helmet off for the first time, I thought it was Denis Leary
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.
Poor little wex. But hes learning to read and write.
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."
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.
Wow that was good!
Did we all just miss that Theon was the best character in the show the whole time?
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
27:52 who is that?
14:27 his real father😢😢😢❤
😭😭😭
Yes, the one that would be honor bound to kill him should Balon rebelled again. That was the reason he took him in the first place... 🤦🏽♀️
Some of these are reaches
It's said like canoe.... wab canoe essentially... kinew phonetically
Would've been cool to see the nuance or whatever the right word is of the different times rob, jon and joffery were called boy kings, with clips of the tantrums and over emotional reactions vs the times they (2 at least 😅) were slightly more mature and didn't make the choice with the worst obvious consequences very occasionally lol
9:50 .... is that..... is that Alan from Viva La Dirt League??... o.O
Robert did he say he was gonna go to an early grave 🤷🏿♂️
Fu c kin g FENOMENAL!!!❤❤
It’s ironic the Jamie cripple quote because he doesn’t indeed of himself after becoming a cripple
Can you make a video how men shit themselves when they die? You never show that part.
I'm more interested in how bear's balls taste.
Nah i never seen the lower part of brans chair..they really have him a wheel chair with wood wheels and spokes?? Yeah don't foresee a problem with that..fuck that..give me the Hodor on 22's lol...
idk why but it irks me that people think the whole rob thing is actual foreshadowing and not coincidence
They’ve got english teacher vibes. “The curtains are yellow, that shows how excited the characters are”
I just realized that the stark name probably dies out with Sansa (if she has kids they’ll take the dads name) Arya (same with Sansa) and Bran (can’t reproduce)
Paralyzed people can reproduce.
sansa is queen. she can give her name to her children
Nah. Sansa, as queen will give the children the stark name. She is head in the stark family home and in such a situation the name will be forwarded trough the female line.
Of course you have to find a guy in order of that tradition but I don’t think that would be too much of a problem considering everyone would love to have the starks as their allies.
See, i'm not entirely convinced by some of these.
Eddard was not killed by Robert, or even by Lannisters. He was not killed even by his promise to Lya. He was killed, just as Arya said, by loyalty. Robert entrusted the realm to him, but it was Ned who chose his errors. He could have fled King's Landing, he could have knelt and sworn his sword to Joffrey, or he could have aided Renly. He chose none of these.
Only Ned chose to stay and fight for Stannis.
Three eyed raven cannot see the future 6:10
He can in his vision of the mad king he saw Danny at kings landing, Cersei blowing up the sept, and it’s implied he knew he would be king. Search up the flashback and you’ll see
I still say Ramsey got off too easy
I’d say a lot of these are more coincidences than they are foreshadow. D&D far too dumb for that anyway
And it would all start again ! Queen sansa , queen sersi ! Looks a little different , but it's the same devil !
I'm surprised you didn't count "the", "a", "me", "you", "king", "lord" and countless other small details, maybe give it another watch?
find it hard to believe that Martin’s motivation for killing off Ned, Robb, Catelyn and Rickon was Robert touching them tbh
He pushed bran off the tower with his left hand you- 🙄. So many of these things you list are not intentional foreshadows, it’s just dots you connected irrationally and incorrectly.
Show Ramsey was such a f-k up. He was Lord for half an hour and got his whole entire family that had lived for thousands of years completely wiped off the face of the planet.
Poor Hodor, Bran sucks
Foreshadowing? xd
You are just trying to make the details fix the narrative.
This is a huge stretch. Most of these makes no sense at all. You are even taking the message of some good scenes from the beginning of the series to make them fit into random nonsensical bullshit from the last seasons lol.
Horrible final, but the journey there was epic!
lolwtf is this "forshadowing" and details. lmfao
They left characters and events out... yes it's almost like it's foreshadowing
