ScreenPrism these videos are fantastic! Absolutely the best break downs out there, constantly reminding me how layered the story is in all it's parts. Guys, please never stop making videos about GOT 😁 btw, all of your videos are amazing!
You forgot the symbolism of Tywin skinning the stag in season 1 inside the Lannister tent.
ScreenPrism I like the fact that this series is directed and narrated by women and it's not a big deal. That's the kind of diversity I love. Nobody made a fuss about it.
Cersei the First of Her Name rules The Seven Kingdoms now. No man dare make a fuss in a woman's realm.
ScreenPrism I love your GofTs symbolism vids a whole lot but why include House Stark as 1 of the families seeking to take The Iron Throne from House Baratheon@8:28??? Robb Stark was the only participant in The War of The 5 Kings who wasn't interested nor did he even want The Iron Throne, only vengeance & justice for his father's death and to rescue his sisters and to liberate the entire North from Lannister control!!!
Gendry Baratheon: black of hair
Stannis Baratheon: lack of hair
Robert Baratheon: lack of heir
Joffrey Baratheon: lack of air
Renly Baratheon: mostly bare
Shireen Baratheon: lack of parental care
Tommen : lack of tyrell
tommen baratheon: 2 days on the iron chair
gets his brother's share
myrcella baratheon : lack of medical care
Joffrey *Lannister
Tommen: fell through air
@@MrKILLINOOBZ Actually he is still legally a baratheon. But if he gets shown as a bastard then he would be a waters.
Robert Baratheon: black of hair

Robert: "I never loved my brothers."
Stannis: "I didn't love him, he didn't love me."
Renly: "I.. loved you once..."
Stannis's quote is about Robert because ever since their parents died he left his ancestral home to train with Ned under Jon Arryn. Also Stannis has another quote the second day of Renly's death : Fools love a fool, I loved him too , I know this now."
Stannis to Davos, A Clash of Kings
Renly offered me a peach. At our parley. Mocked me, defied me, threatened me, and offered me a peach. I thought he was drawing a blade and went for mine own. Was that his purpose, to make me show fear? Or was it one of his pointless jests? When he spoke of how sweet the peach was, did his words have some hidden meaning? Only Renly could vex me with a piece of fruit. He brought his doom on himself with his treason, but I did love him, Davos. I know that now. I swear, I will go to my grave thinking of my brother’s peach.
Jan Medeus and that’s the beauty of the books
@@Hugh_Morris yes, Renly if I recall, does not say anything about love to his brother, even worse, he makes japes on Stannis's wife and always calls his daughter ugly
@@arthurdryden3696 You also forgot a detail where Renly even claims that he'll be a better king than Stannis just because he's popular while Stannis isn't.
wait a second stannis burned his daughter only in the tv show but in books he even said that if he dies then he wants his daughter to be on the iron throne.. stannis is the best character in the books
Is he still alive in the books?
@@mohit09876 yes
Bram Bam that’s not confirmed
Cameron Toy Grrm directly said in an interview “In my books? [Stannis] is still very much alive”
@@georgecross4100 based
"Your brother is the Lord's Chosen, born amidst salt and smoke."
Renly: Born amidst salt and smoke, is he a ham?
xD
I love the little "rolleyes" that Melisandre does ^^ like "ok that was actually pretty funny".
I remember when season 2 was coming out, I was hoping for a Baratheon bros alliance so much... they would have quickly ended the Lannisters together and could have fought the White Walker side by side with Robb Stark.
Daenerys would have also helped out against the real enemy, and they could have received them with thousands of dragonglass tipped arrows volleys + dragons + all the Valyrian steel they could put together. Oh well, that would have been a completely different story I guess ^^'
oooh that was what he said.. i thought he said 'is she your hand(of the king)?'
“...I got Margaery. You’ll be pleased to know she came to me a maid.”
“In your bed she’s like to die that way.”
Randall Flagg "Dragon glass tipped arrows". FUCK!! Why did no one think of that!
I wish Renly and Stannis got along. However, I prefer Renly on the throne tbh..
In the books, they make the analogy of metals.
Robert: steel - a true warrior who corrodes with time.
Stannis: iron - tough, but brittle and inflexible.
Renly: copper - bright and shiny, but soft and useless.
Copper useless??
Killer bean army well without electricity copper is useless, only for decoration
@@entwouanne It is a soft metal and bends easily, so not really useful as a tool.
I know what paragraph you are referring to, but you have misquoted it heavily.
Not copper, but bronze
"Robert was the true steel. Stannis is pure iron, black and hard and strong, yes, but brittle, the way iron gets. He'll break before he bends. And Renly, that one, he's copper, bright and shiny, pretty to look at but not worth all that much at the end of the day."
by Donal Noye
a clash of kings!
I was hoping to find this quote in comment section
DarkKing009 Yep, and Gendry is valyrian steel 💪
angie v No such thing as Gendry in the books, he's not all the impressive anyway
angie v Not really unless you are talking about the show's version shirtless version. Then for women, you are right.
Shireen isnt sickly, she was cured of greyscale completely, merely a scar left over.
Her mom was projecting. She was mentally ill. Seeing her happy, kind, scarred daughter made her both jealous and feel like a failure as a mother.
In the books there are some hints that shireens greyscale is not cured but only dormant and it might come back at anytime it’s not confirmed but it’s hinted at
"Renly died like he lived, stabbed in the back"
I thought Loras was a bottom.
@@marwanali4878 fr y’all can’t tell me it wasn’t loras getting it in the @ss
Murdered in the most cowardly way.
The layers of that statement lol
@@marwanali4878 that would seem the case with loras on his knees haha.
Robert Baratheon - The warrior.
Stannis Baratheon - The leader. (one true king!!)
Renly Baratheon - The loved one.
>Stannis
>the leader
Lollllllllllllllllllll
Dude burned people alive, was a religious nutjob, murdered his brother with dark magic, and couldn't inspire enough confidence to get a SINGLE major house outside The Stormlands behind him...
Not exactly impressive leadership...
Stannis the mannis
kjsdpgijn Stannis unlike Jon is the rightful heir to the iron throne. Or at least he was. Put some respect on his name the only character better than him was Tywin.
xDamage haven't you been watching the show? because your comment clearly made you the dumbass here dumbass.
+damage
Virgin troll basement-dweller is obvious
Stannis never sought revenge for anything, he sought justice.
Stannis was one of the least emotional people in all of westeros.
You can count the times Stannis was impulsive by the fingers on Davo's right hand.
You know, I'm starting to see that most book readers seem to base their view of Stannis on what others say about him, and what he lied to others about himself, rather than actually paying attention to Stannis' *actions*. I forget which book it is, but the prologue of one of them is ALL about Stannis whining and whining and bitching and pissing and moaning about how nobody loves him and weeeh weeeeh everyone loved my brothers more than meeeee, why won't they love meee, weeeeeeeeehhhhhhh. MY RIGHTS MY RIGHTS WEEEEEHHH!
Sure, he's a cold dick to most people, but there's no justice or lack of emotion in him. If there was, he wouldn't bitch about his rights all the time. He's so desperate for some reputation, *any* reputation, that he'll hurt anyone and everyone around him just so he can say he's hard, but fair. But tell me, how much justice was in burning his in-laws alive, who hadn't done anything illegal? None.
I didn't say that Stannis has no feelings, but that he is one of the least likely people to display them openly.
I have not read the books so I don't know the context of this whining, bitching, pissing and moaning, and "weeeh weeeeh", but it sounds like you have very strong opinions about it. I would likely consider Stannis point of view understandable, seeing that his conviction in his obligation to his people and the other way around is woefully under appreciated.
I think the bitching about his rights you mention is what I'd call pressing his claim. When the Iron throne is your's by right and you have a reputation, and he does have reputation, to be both absolutely unyielding and a brilliant military strategist stating your claim carries a lot of weight.
On the topic of burning his in-laws I have to admit that burning people is morally wrong but it is still just in that it was the consequence of their own choice not to renounce the seven despite Stannis order to do so, and knowing the consequences.
Now, if pretty much anyone else had done the same thing in the same situation it wouldn't have been just but Stannis holds Himself to the very-same admittedly rigorous standards he applies to his subjects and that is what sets him apart. Even if he did bitch and moan, he always did his duty and after he became King he never asked more of his subjects than he himself would have been willing to give in their place.
"how much justice was in burning his in-laws alive, who hadn't done anything illegal?" but as the king he had made what they did illegal and thus he was serving justice from his point of view. and i do think you stormwolf have exagerated his whinning, i didn't find him that bad of a whinner, he is intilled and he should be.
@@ms_scribbles You horribly exaggerate. His "whining" as you say was probably one or two sentences simply stating facts that he was never popular. Actually your whole comment appears to be so toxicly whiny that I am not even surprised that you formed such a weird opinion about him in spite of reading the books.
"how much justice was in burning his in-laws alive, who hadn't done anything illegal?" - If I am not mistaken this never happened in the books. The only ones who were burned alive by Stannis were deserters, rapists and other criminals.
Stannis was a good man even in the TV show but some of his actions were twisted. To anyone who liked him in the TV show I definitely recommend to read the books. This is where his character truly "shines".
@@ms_scribbles I invite you to reread that prologue (In the second book a Clash of Kings) with the information we know about Stannis, Davos and more important for this case Melisandre. Mel can see things in the future and by the attitude Stannis displays in the chapter you can see it's... totally off to be honest, but you can join the pieces.
Think about it like this, Mel knew that Cressen was going to poison her (So she took the antidote and wasn't affected by the poison thus being more powerful in the eyes of everyone after this) so she told Stannis about it, I am sure he didn't belive it but lets say she say something among the lines of "let it happen, and I will convince you of my power" and well Cressen DID poison Melisandre, and if we recall Stannis didn't woke him up (posible because he didn't want anything to happen) and after Mel stuff being prove truth he had nothing left but believe her and ultimatly confirm everything when Cressen tried to poison her.
Just mentioning the prologue thing, the other stuff will take a lot of time.
I love how everyone goes on about how Stannis inspires no love yet he's one of the most loved characters in the community
Well said!! It's intelligent and strong people that love Stannis, not fanboys!!
After the show did it’s best at making him as much of an asshole as they could this surprises me
Yes. He is the only baratheon who sacrificed everything and everyone.
I guess you could say... He's got some stans
@@VivekCNair-jy4ct Well, in some RUclips vids about him, he is nicknamed, "Stannis the Manis."
I never got the whole "Robert was a terrible king" motif through the show. Yes he didn't do much from an administrative standpoint but he surrounded himself with people who were good administrators. With the possible exception of Littlefinger, who was working to undermine him, his council effectively ran the 7 kingdoms peaceably. He didn't exterminate houses that didn't support him in the rebellion and even pardoned the most loyal Targareyan supporters for the sake of unifying the kingdoms. As far a revolutionaries turned monarchs he was a pretty decent one. Tywin himself said it in his speech to Tommen about good kings that the ruler who listens to his advisers about matters he does not understand is a good one.
Life4Metalcore yea, i never got why everyone said he was a terrible king. The only shitty thing he did as king was nearly bankrupting the seven kingdoms, and even then it was salvageable. In fact, in that scene with Cersei, I thought he was a pretty insightful person. He clearly wasn't the fool everyone thought he was.
Prashanth Ganasan that was more littlefinger's fault than anyone.
Because he was a king that spent his days drinking, whoring and ignoring his kingdom.
Like Aegon The Unworthy, he never actually did many acts of unspeakable cruelty, but his idiotic acts put the crown in a steep debt and spread discontent around the kingdoms.
His abusive nature and stupidity is what caused Joffrey's demeanor and his broken relationship with Stannis. He attended 3 small council meetings in all of his reign and completely ignored his advisors when his mind was set.
Littlefinger wasn't undermining him, he was trying to save what he could from Robert's lavish spendings.
Robert wasn't a cruel king, but he was a bad king.
Prashanth Ganasan no he didn't. Robert's carelessness left a gaping hole for those who were power hungry. He allowed littlefinger to swindle them 6million into debt, his neglect of his wife caused her to continue cheating with her brother and not leave any legitimate heirs. There's so much wrong with the court under King Bobby IDK how you can't see it.
Only Targaryen fanboys get up in arms about Robert because he killed Rhaegar. Robert was actually a very merciful king. He spared the lives of Ser Barrristan, the Tyrells Martells and the Greyjoys just to hold the kingdom together . The mad king had to be taken down point blank period.
Does anyone realize that all three of the Baratheon brothers cheated on their wives?
Can't blame Stannis. Selyse was insane
and ugly (in the book), and then Melisandre came, the greatest tits in Westeros
Brian Achim so did everybody's favouriite dead boy, rhaegar targ. why does no remember he abandoned a wife and 2 small children for lyanna stark?
Eta for typos. Shout out to the person who commented 5 years later and so brought them to my attention.
Depends on your definition of cheating. Renly was in an open marriage.
They were both free to sleep with any guy they wanted as long as she was Queen and they kept the appearance of a happy marriage.
i don't blame them
Robert Baratheon: "START this damn joust before I piss meself!"
Also Robert Baratheon: "STOP THIS MADNESS IN THE NAME OF YOUR KING!"
Imperium he was the best king
Bobby B!!!!!!!!
By “STOP” it was no longer a joust but more of a brawl to death.
It still surprises me he stopped at the best part
Stannis the Mannis will live on in our hearts.
And in the books
And in the books, he's a better man, if you ask me.
Batman Jr. He burned his daughter no fucking way man
The Kamal Kartik
And that made no sence.
The Kamal Kartik not in the book
"Baratheons become the most hunted family"
Starks: "Am I a joke to you?"
I mean...... we see the Starks do more hunting than being hunted in the end.
Only gendry against lots of starks proves point
Anyone else thinks if Renly didnt declare himself king and supported his brother, the Baratheons could have ruled longer, when Stannis dies Renly could take over
They probably would have lost the support of the Tyrells, since Margaery wanted to be queen.
Goliath Online yh they were power hungry shits
@@hussainmartins5985 Renly might have felt he'd make a nobler beloved successor, but Stannis hadn't done anything wrong to him to earn this blood feud. The man lost Storm's End to him and he got to live luxuriously and serve on the small council for years while Stannis was left to brood on Dragonstone and serve on the council too. In some sense, Renly owed him and they should have stood together to deny Joffrey the throne and they could have helped Ned as well, but they were both too stubborn.
@Goliath Online how dare ya, the tyrells are the best lol. especially old baddas olenna
yikes Yeah olenna was fantastic. I think it was her son 'the lord oaf of highgarden' that wanted margaery to be queen so much so she had no choice but to clean up whatever mess they made of that situation
"Jendry"
Like nails on a chalkboard
I am so easy to gaslight I literally had to look up the pronunciation
Holy Molly the second i read that was the second she Said it haha
It's like sandpaper being dragged across the top of ones finger nails😣
Thank God I'm not the only one who cringed at that
The sad thing about Robert is that, even though he wasn’t a good king, his reign was probably one of the most peaceful Westeros has known.
beside the whole Greyjoy Rebellion, pretty muchh yeah
True, but doesn't that make him a good King?
The only bad thing about him is that he went Hunting while Getting Drunk
if your counting bastards I'd say the Baratheons will be just fine
Aidan Woodford well the baratheon bastards are almost all dead... remember what joffrey did in season 2 ?
Ser Harrold Arryn Only in the show
Ser Harrold Arryn and those were only the ones in kings landing. There has to be a PLETHORA of other bastards living outside of kings landing
robert said he pretty much slept with a girl from each kingdom at least
We're not because you're not supposed to.
that... is not how you pronounce gendry
xtiechannel good point. Our mistake -- thanks for catching!
Yeah, it's Gendry not Jendry
Actually she's right. With interviews with GRRM he pronounces it that way. It's the show who got it wrong lol.
Cite you sources sir.
Go to the Pronunciation guide on a wiki of ice and fire and go down to Gendry and it tells you
Puts the word vengeful next to Stannis, one of the least vengeful people. He is about rule of law, not vengeance
You should tell that to his wife's family that he burned alive...oh wait, you can't. Besides being fictional, they're also dead.
StormWolf you mean the family that supported Renly?
@StormWolf you mean the family that sent terms of Stannis' surrender to the Lannisters behind his back, even offering to marry Shireen to Tommen, making them traitors?
@@ms_scribbles He didn't burn his wife's whole family, just the guy who committed treason, most of his wife's family are still alive.
@@lv83bloodknight Aye he burned the traitor and coward Alseter Florent
Another great piece of symbolism in the show is when Jaime throws bran out the window, symbolizing the throwing of Jaimes arc out of the window to come in the future
And when Tommen falls from very high, symbolising how bricks falling from very high will kill cersei and jaime
"Born amongst salt and smoke...? Is he a ham?"
Lmao, best quote in the entire show
Born amidst salt and smoke... is he a ham?
Johnny Gartland one of my favorite lines
Johnny Gartland that's twice I've warned you
Nixon the Vixen and the peach.
Lmao....that one got me😂
It would have been interesting if Tyrion had suggested Gendry for the throne instead of Bran. He has birthright, even if he's a bastard, and he was legalized as a Baratheon by Daenyeris before she died. What's more, he's not a "player" and isn't corrupted by the fight for greed and power. He likely would've rejected the throne due to inexperience and fear of failure, but I think he'd make a pretty fair ruler.
Like King Aegon V “The Unlikely” Targaryen. There are a lot of parallels between him and Genrdry.
And then a North-South alliance by marrying Sansa... who for all we know, knew nothing about Arya and Gendry.
@@Sawrattan Kinda like The War of The Roses. All that matters is that The Realm is United under one King or Queen.
Gendery is going to end up killed in Storms End by Stannis Loyalists anyways
All hail Gendry of the House Baratheon, the First of his Name, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm!
Some symbolism I'm surprised you didn't mention: When Robert ascended to the iron throne, he added a crown to his house's sigil, but he didn't add it on top of the deer's head as you might expect, but around its neck. That is after all, what the crown is to Robert, it is not a triumphant thing that he wants to have, it is a noose around his neck that will eventually kill him.
"Jendry..."
1010sams We are looking for... *reads Gendry* ....JENDRY!!!
It used to bug me when people pronounced it like that too until I realized that it sounds more like "Gentry" like that, which means people of nobility or high social class/ well-borne.
I cringed

Gendry
Gemma? I found a glitch in the matrix
Missing Stannis in the show... he was witty at times
less...fewer
WOOT WOOT crazy at the end
* knee bending intensifies*
Stannis was my favorite in the show. And now his watch ends.
figot latenby I sure hope you get to, bcuz that line is worth saying. Lol
Stannis is different in the books. That's why so many people love him and are loyal to him.
From a historical perspective (and I know I'm not the first to notice this), have any of you noticed the comparisons between the Baratheon Brothers and the Brothers of the House of York (Edward, George, Richard)?
-Edward IV/Robert: Both superb military commanders, physically strong and large in their prime (Edward still remains Britain's tallest king at 6'4!), and both won their crowns on the battlefield (The Trident is essentially the Battles of Towton and Tewkesbury rolled into one). Both their realms experienced some sense of peace while they ruled. And both got soft and fat towards the end of their reigns, and both were notorious womanisers. However whilst Robert was a poor politician and lived for the fight, Edward was an excellent administrator and took huge leaps in expanding Britain's prestige abroad.
-George, Duke of Clarence/Renly: Both possessed charm and wit, as well as enjoying the benefits of court life and high society. However, both were quite naïve when it came to dealing with matters they thought would advance them into higher power (Renly rashly proclaims himself King, despite knowing Stannis to be the rightful king; George abandoned his brothers to join the Lancastrians in a futile gesture), and both pay dearly for their treason: Renly is assassinated by the Shadow demon, and George is soon executed for treason by being drowned in a barrel of wine, as well as being murdered by their own brothers.
-Richard III/Stannis: Like Richard, Stannis was an excellent battlefield commander, and both were responsible for winning battles that enabled their brothers to keep both the Iron Throne and English Throne respectively. Both also felt that they felt unrewarded despite their many years of service. Both were also astute and incisive politicians as well, with a strong, albeit self-righteous sense of justice, honour and duty, and who rallies support in the north by defending it from invasion. Both also denounce their nephews as illegitimate, and thus are dragged into war soon enough. Also enjoy enduring legacies amongst GOT fans and Ricardians, with each group seeing them as the 'rightful king', and of being misunderstood amongst the other characters/figures of their own world.
However, Roberts children really WERE illegitimate, whereas Edward's were not. The only reason Edward's were declared such was because it was deemed a child couldn't rule the kingdom effectively and would be governed by the regent. That was the real reason Richard grabbed the crown for himself.
Edward IV = Robb Stark
Gendry is rowing since last 2 seasons... 😄
four by now XD
he could have rowed to Ashai by now
Kate Santana bullshit
Kate Santana last week yeah not this today's episode
he rowed to essos and is the blacksmith for the golden merc guys
GENDRY!!!! GET OFF YOUR FUCKING BOAT AND GO SAVE HOUSE BARATHEON!!!!!!
Federico Ortega coming soon...
Federico Ortega Warhammer dropping in!
House Baratheon began with Aegon's bastard brother and now Robert's bastard will rebuild it! Being a bastard hasn't exactly stopped Jon Snow.
Who's going to legitimize him? House Baratheon is practically gone!
He is my king, His great grandfather was Aegon Targaren, fifth of his name, king of the Andals and the first men, lord of the seven kingdoms and protector of the realm, he has more right to the throne than any man living.
Forgot to mention how the first time we see Tywin Lannister in the show, he's butchering and cleaning a stag, showing how him and his house dismantled the Baratheon house and took the Iron Throne for themselves.
There was another deleted scene showing him catching some fish foreshadowing house Tully's fate.
"Born Among Salt And Stone , Is He A Ham?"
The roasting is strong with this one.
Haven't seen anyone mention the fact that the crown is around the neck of the stag, instead of more commonly on it's head, almost as if it's choking itself.
Showing that the crown, or the pursuit to obtain it, will lead to their strangulation or death. Also that it's intentionally put around it's own neck during the change of their sigil, showing their decision to go after their eventual death in the name of power is a fate chosen by themselves.
This is an old comment but the sigil was never changed. It was the old sigil of the Durrandon Storm Kings and thus the crown on the stag was always present throughout the histories of houses Durrandon and Baratheon.
"Ours Is The Fury"
Man, the Starks are my favorite house, but the Baratheons have my favorite motto.
Why is Robert great?
The Clegane brothers. Two of the most ruthless, skilled and fearless warriors of all Westeros. Both scared shitless when Robert shouts at them.
Watching this video reminded me how good the dialogue was in the early seasons and how it terribly declined after that :/
That's because it was mostly Martin's dialogue and Martin's scenes in the first 3 season's and then they proceeded to remove 1800 pages or 2 and 1/2 Bible's worth of material to write themselves into a corner by killing characters that are alive in the books and keeping character's that are dead in the book's alive so that the story doesn't really make sense anymore other than for the major characters.
Even my friends who haven't read the books can tell something is wrong. You can tell the entire story of the Bible in 20 episodes which is what they have tried to do while lying to Martin before Season 4 aired (because he worked on that season and wrote The Purple Wedding episode) about what they would and wouldn't cover and eventually spoil. He thought he had until This season before they even started covering book 6 stuff.
Jaqen H'Ghar
exactly they deleted a lot of amazing characters at first then at season 5 they started killing characters until the end they stuck with these characters and made it like a show down between evil and good, and man the dialogs sucks thank God I finish reading the book and they were amazing in every aspect
ahhhhhh yes that well known character jendry
I cringed every time they said his name 🤣🤣
Hated the pronounciation
"It's a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

Macbeth in Shakespeare’s play, describing life.
How was Renly the most likable and beloved. I really loved Stannis. I loved his relationship with his daughter. Her death because his deranged obsession with the throne was probably the saddest moment on the show. He was probably the most suited to be king of the three. Tragic character.
Renly received a personality change when the show was being produced; I'll say this much now, he was more of an ass than Stannis, and Stannis can be pretty nasty when he's snapping about valid points.
We all know who the rightful king is here.
Usurpers in the north, the west, the isles, and the south...greedy power hungry thieves every last one of them. But the rightful King comes for them all...the Baratheons say _Ours Is The Fury_ well I will show them *Fury Burns*.

Robert's Rebellion did not happen because Robert was sad Lyanna left, it happened because Brandon and Rickard were murdered by the Mad King as well as 700 men from the north. THIS triggered the rebellion!
What triggered the rebellion was the mad king asking for Robert and Neds heads.
I call that Targaryen aggression
I liked Stannis until what he did to his daughter.. I was so sad for Davos
I wished they just followed the book completely, what a waste
@@jyggalag9838 The PROBLEM was that they had outpaced the books by that point.
@@discountplaguedoctor88 actually no, they were close but they hadnt outpaced them yet. And it is only because they skipped like 1700+ pages from the books...

Stannis the Mannis, the one true king of the seven kingdoms!

And then, we have Gendry. He has hammer, he smash hads.
JustFunkinDandy the last true Baratheon

Hes not stubborn hes not Baratheon.
Just like his father
Baratheons: Ours is the Fury!
Targaryens: Hold my beer.
No baratheon was alive ti stop Dany, atleast no true baratheon.
If Stannis sat the Iron Throne with a unified Kingdom behind him he would have ended House Targaryen easily whether it be the spawn of the Mad King or that false targaryen pretender Aegon with the golden company.
If you don’t count dragons the Baratheons and the extinct Durrandons are/were far more intimidating and dangerous than the Targaryens.
I love that you mentioned that joffery is roberts LEGAL BUT NON BIOLOGICAL son. people seem to overlook that. genes alone does not a father or child make.
Lucozade Ja. true, but that's looking at it from our world's perspective. in their world, a bastard doesn't belong on the throne, unless he's been legitimised, and that hasn't happened for joffrey because his twisted conception is just being brought to light at the start of the story.
“He may have been your father, boy, but he wasn’t your daddy.”
He's actually completely illegitimate regardless. He has no blood of Roberts in him and is no legal heir. If Robert knew he'd have been killed along with his mother
Actually they were making completely the opposite point. Acting like someone's father doesn't mean you are their father.
did you know this is a representation of the medieval europe and not the modern western world? so why should be there modern standarts? Joffrey is not of Robert's blood.

askoo sorry but he killed his daughter to save his army, but if you recall the dialogue with that same daughter before her being BURNED A-FUCKING-LIVE, he clearly didn't save his army because he cared for his people; he only did it to win, and thusly ascend to the iron throne. He saved his men so he could send them to die in battle.
WeTube not in the books. He's much more noble in the books.
Knowledgeabletyrant
he dident kill his daughter
"I was trying to win the throne to save the kingdom, when I should have been trying to save the kingdom to win the throne"
I really wish Renly got more screen time. He was such a cool character. Conflicted by his sexuality and known fact that he has no legitimate claim to the iron throne.. I feel this could have been far more elaborated on in season 2. Idk why they killed him off so quickly. It’s not like they were short on (opportunity) episode plot run time.
he was even more charismatic and charming in the books even

Probably one of the few good things that happened in the entirety of the 8th season.
6:57 Robert Baratheon - fat of hair, Stannis Baratheon - lack of hair, Joffrey Baratheon - purple head
The words "Ours is the fury" is quite awesome!
Mark Addy gave such a great performance as King Robert. One of the most faithful adaptations of a character from the books the show had.
Stannis is not dead
Stannis will be never dead
Because the night is dark and full of terrors
Stannis is not dead because he's Stannis the mannis
Stannis two biggest mistakes are killing his brother and daughter.
killing his brother was one of his better decisions. Making him kill his daughter so we're okay with him dying, is the reason this show has become "standard". from this point on, I know a few characters that'll live and a few that'll die. You're not suppose to be able to do that with GRRM's work.
Beans all he did was keep jeoffrey in power.
Killing Renly was by far one of his best decisions. He barely had 7,000 men and some ships before he killed Renly and got half of his host, some 50,00 men I believe.
And if he had left Renly alone, Renly could have deposed Joffrey while bloodying his army, and probably showing just how fake his marriage was
junaid zahid nuh uhh
Gods I was strong then...
I didn't notice that stag and direwolves relation in the season. Thank you for mentioning it.
When you realize Daenerys and Robert are actual cousins both literally, and historically.
And he killed Rheagar which would classify as kin slaying. I like to think that whatever happened to the baratheons is due to kin slaying. Robert took the throne from Rheagar which in turn led to him having no Legitimate children of his own. Stannis killed Renly which made him loose the battle of blackwater bay and then he got fucked up by Renlys king's guard member
@@marwanali4878 I still blame Rhaegar for Robert's Rebellion. Not because he took Lyanna, but because he left his crazy father alone and unchecked, leading to the deaths of The Starks and Arryns by The Mad King.

Two game of thrones videos in one week? I thought Christmas was in December, lol.
I'm in love with Renly, He´s gorgeous!!
Joffrey isn’t even a Baratheon
Except the sigil and words belong to House Durrandon. But I guess they did inherit a lot of the storm king's disposition.
Like 90% of fans don't read or no much of the books. otherwise they'd of mentioned how Stannis is like the best thing ever.
the baratheons are descendant of durrandon anyway since the founder took the words, sigil, and also argilac's daughter.
Stannis is most certainly not the best thing ever
The Baratheons are Durrandons in the maternal line, so that inheritance still runs in the blood, and not just the words.
Oh please, Stannis is the most irritating character in the books. Such a whiny shit that constantly bitches about how nobody likes him and how his brothers got everything. He's a giant manchild who murders family members to get the power he wants, because he's such a piece of shit that he can't get that power through any other means. Even his own bannermen chose Renly over him, and only went back to him after he had Renly murdered in cold blood and let Brienne get blamed for it.

I always end up binging these episodes for each season of GoT to get refreshed on everything. In depth and well explained, as well as very well researched. Love these vids.
stannis is the best baratheon you can’t change my mind
*I can't change facts
Same brother
Hell yeah.
House Baratheon has allways been my favourite house among the great houses.
Renly at 3:50 is legit one of my favourite lines in the whole show!
Another cool thing to note is that the episode where Cercie kills Robert opens with Tywin Lannister skinning a deer. This is another instance of foreshadowing.
I nearly forgot how Robert's lines were legendary, Thanks for the reminding
Also note that the 3 Baratheon brothers and thus Gendry's grandmother was Targaryen. So despite overthrowing the previous dynasty they still have a strong blood claim to the throne
Verus von Vyrus
So what? He is not a Targaryen, so why should he care?
Verus von Vyrus
No, he is not. The Blackfyres committed incest, marrying each other and other Targaryen bastards, keeping the Valyrian blood pure, while Robert, his brothers and whatever aunts and uncles he had as well as his father inherited the dominant Baratheon traits (because Baratheons are no1, they don't even have to commit incest to keep their blood pure because the seed is strong). He is 1/4 Targaryen, but that means little. After all, that is not a majority of his genetic makeup, so to say he is a Targaryen makes no sense...
@Jon Doe
Baratheons have a long history of marriages with Targaryens, the most recent one being Robert's Grandfather's marriage to Rhaelle Targaryen (his grandmother). Even Ormund Bartheon the founder of house Baratheon is rumoured to be bastard half brother of Aegon the first.
I'm the true king my brother never wanted to be king. I would've been a better leader than robert and less cruel than joffery. During Roberts Rebellion I had to stay at Storms End protecting my people we were hungry and robert didn't give a damn but my loyal smuggler ser Davos of house seaworth risked his life to give my people and I food. After the rebellion I thought my brother was going to give me storms end but he gave it to my brother Renly. I was thrown to dragon stone. The show fucked over my character I would never kill my daughter a true king never dies.
Stannis Baratheon
Did they mention the idea of why Robert gave him dragonstone!?
dragon stone is the traditional castle of the Targaryen (so can be seen as an honor), but its essentially worthless compared to storms end and robert hated the Targaryens so it can also be seen as an insult.
Robert is always a big bully to stannis even when they were young for a long time, if i were Robert I would at least let Stannis keep Storm end, and never make stannis marry anyone, until Renly his only brother is the only heir to storm end?
soyon manlai
Sorry man but I got confused at your comment u need to rewrites it.
Also Robert gave stannis dragonstone because he was the heir of Robert.
napolien 1
Robert gave stannis, dragonstone that old piece of shit of a castle to stannis is because, he send him there to capture those kids so he can kill them, but they runaway. Robert gave stannis that castle because his furious at him and other saw it honourable reward but in stannis he didn't liked he despises. Robert and stannis never had love, only hate, Robert would have liked renly as his heir more unlike stannis.
If I were stannis I would leave westeros, because my brothers don't care about me.
Also at 2:15 is incorrect, the sigil and house Baratheon of kings landing where created the moment Robert ascended the throne and wed Cersei
“Is he a ham” has me crying for 5 mins help
Loving the videos! So glad to have found you!
I feel really bad how Renly died, man. I enjoyed his character very much and he's definitely my favorite of the three Baratheon brothers.
yea, him and robb stark definitely had potential to become really great characters. From a narrative standpoint it works well for the story, but at the same time the characters become likable that you wonder what they'd do if they were still around.
Renly was a sissy and had 0 fighting skills or respect.
Stannis was the best of all
@@AtlisDe i think they were both hirrible decision makers. Both dumb kids overhyped by the resources at their disposal.
Renly was a traitor.
The show is non-cannon
Say it with me:

King of the Andals, the Rhoinar, and the First Men
Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm

I don't know why, but I feel like no one has gone this in-depth with the house sigils before. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
This channel is a little gem
“gods the Baratheons were strong then.”
"The Baratheon's mercurial temper is as fierce as their home" *shows Pyke instead of Storms End* wrong side of Westeros homie
Ah yes, King Stannis Greyjoy the Crow's Eye.
Problem is that Storm's End was never onscreen in the entire show.
Boom wrong artwork
Robert didn't add the crown when he took the Iron Throne. The crowned stag was the sigil of House Durrandon who the Baratheons supplanted as Kings of the Stormlands, the Baratheons took them over in the same way as the Lannisters took the arms of House Casterly when they supplanted them.
To be fair, he hit her that one time and regretted it. The abuse was mostly emotional.
And Cersei cheated on him.
Cersei deserved it
And even then it was a two way street. Yes, Robert never loved her but she reacted by boinking her brother and trying to usurp his bloodline.
He didn't hit her, he honored her.
ijokesolo in the books he would repeatedly rape her while he was drunk and it was mentioned that he hit her more than once.
Did they forget about Myrcella Baratheon? I know she doesn't do much, but she still exists
I don't think I've ever came across three brothers with such contrasting personalities as the Barratheon brothers.
They are similar to the corleone brothers from the Godfather.
Sonny-Robert
A switcheroo here Michael-stannis
Fredo-renly
They are more similar than you think. And the deaths of their parents and other experiences all served to polarise their views on life and how they deal with things.

I miss Robert Baratheon. He wasn't a great King but a good person at heart.
i mean....he wanted to kill baby dany....so not super pure
Well I think killing a baby Danny was probably a good idea
@@joelc17 i mean now sure. but thats because d and d like rushing character development.
Killing kids is not so horrible in the standards of nobles here. Even Stannis considered putting a whole island with civilians to the sword at some point in the books, though he changed his mind.
@@gooby214
Stannis sat there listening to Axell Florent advising him to sack a defenceless Claw Isle after the Celtigars joined the Lannisters, only noting that it would be easy enough and what meagre gains they would get. He then asked Davos what his opinion was. After Axell left, Stannis called him a fool in conversation with Davos:
“I shall bring justice to Westeros. A thing Ser Axell understands as little as he does war. Claw Isle would gain me naught... and it was evil, just as you said.”
Stannis listens to all of his advisors, no matter how foolish he deems them, but always makes his own judgements and decisions. His teeth were grinding while Axell Florent was explaining his plan; he had already rejected it even before Davos spoke. He only bothered asking Davos’ opinion because he was still interested in whatever Davos had to say. Keep in mind this was a conversation immediately preceding his appointment of Davos as Lord of the Rainwood and Hand of the King, so Stannis, despite his already present trust, wanted to reaffirm his confidence in Davos’ honesty and counsel.
Reminder that Stannis "The Mannis" Baratheon is the true king of Westeros, and Robert was right in wanting to kill every Targaryen.
Targaryens caused too many problems in Westeros. They were always incompetent, insane, and troublesome.
@@gooby214 Jaehaerys would like a word with you.
@@hisholiness4537 Rare exceptions don't count when they are outnumbered by the rest.

Jaehaerys, Baelor the blessed, Aegon the first, hello
They would be a great king together. Renly on the throne, Stannis as Hand, and Robert as King's Guard.
Franken Stein correction: Stannis on the throne, Robert as commander of the guard, and Renly as Stannis’ cup bearer.
WTF Robert as a glorified bodyguard? NO, screw that. Robert as the Lord of Storm's End and King Stannis's main general. How can you make Robert going to the Kingsguard and make him the most promiscous kingsguard knight in history?
Gooby I was being sarcastic...
RawReviews Never said I was replying to you tho, and Renly deserves to be Stannis' cup bearer for real anyway.

This is my ideal Small Council:
Stannis Baratheon - King of Westeros
Eddard Stark - Hand of the King
Renly Baratheon - Master of Laws
Robert Baratheon - Master of War
Tywin Lannister - Master of Coin
Paxter Redwyne - Master of Ships
Barristan Selmy - Captain of the Kingsguard
these symbolism videos are great but i suggest you use elements from the book which is important and more interesting
hey i exist I agrre
I disagree. Some people haven't read the books, but plan to read them after the show ends.
Persephone Hades so? not that it it will spoil them anyways
I feel like some of these "Symbols" are overthought and just simply wrong. Im sure parts of this video might be right but for the majority of these I just don't agree with them. Book or Show.
"GO GET THE BREASTPLATE STRETCHER NOW!!!"
Fyi there was a somewhat rational stance for Renyl's claim on the Throne...
The seat of the head of House Baratheon is Storm's End (just like the seat of House Stark is Winterfell), and after becoming king Robert gave Storm's End to *Renly* not Stannis.
And so this fed into Renly's claim for the Iron Throne: he felt, as the effective head of House Baratheon, he was next inline to the throne that was held *by* House Baratheon.
The thing is though, while the Baratheons are the royal household, they hold that claim via the admixture of Targaryen blood. Historically, the Targaryen heir apparent would be given Dragonstone, and it was not rescinded after Joffery's birth, whether because of Robert's carelessness, or his insistence at giving Stannis a prestigious but barren fiefdom as a white elephant.
More than anything, Renly claims the throne through force of arms (Citing Robert's "usurpation") and Stannis's foreign religion (Which is funny, as Red Priest Thoros of Myr was an actual drinking buddy of Robert), and a plan to see Stannis dead on the battlefield, which would render the question of "stepping over" moot.
Stannis wasn't given storm's end bcs he was needed at dragonstone which was last stronghold of Targaryens, Robert needed someone like Stannis to held it not Renly who was a little boy during that time, that's how Renly got Storm's end.
Also the seat of heir during Targaryen rule has been Dragonstone, so even then Stannis has a claim.
LOVED ALL THE PARALLELS - GOOD JOB.
