Yes and no. End of the day her house is wiped out. An entire generation gone. After 2/3rd generation no one would talk about tyrell but they will through lannister. Tyrion atleast lives and others.
Not entirely sure she loved her son. The lord oaf of high garden. Maybe she was always disappointed of Mace, but she still loved him, just as Tywin was always disappointed in his family
Brienne was a strong (in many ways), bold, honest and dutiful woman - Not that Olenna was all of these things all the time, but she would have respected the hell out of her, perhaps even more than anyone else.
@@mi5anthrope yeah there is that, but i also think that olenna is just thrilled at the idea that brien could humiliate most of the men in westeros 1v1😂
Olenna was an extremely clever ambitious woman who was 100% done with the social constructs of her society. Though Brienne desperately wanted to fit into their society, she had to forge her own way and she broke tradition in a hundred different ways. That makes her braver than any other knight Olenna ever met.
Because Brien, unlike every other woman in the series except Melisandre and Arya, depended on her own skills and power. She was not just someone's wife and daughter.
"Not now Mace, Lord Tywin and I are speaking" I know she's his mother but I love how she just straight up tells one of the most powerful lords in Westeros to fuck off 😂
There is a Doctor Who episode (Matt Smith era) where the Doctor is trying to persuade her not to activate the MacGuffin he says something alone the lines of "In the wrong hands, this could end the world". She holds her hands out and asks "What are these?" The Doctor looks confused, about to answer, when she says "The wrong hands" You could tell her character was demented and Diana was having fun.
The most epic one was definitely "Ah the *famously* tart Queen of Thorns" "And the *famous* tart Queen Cersei" Cersei thought she was veing clever only to get punned (?) to humiliation.
@@mysidian "Tart" changes meaning depending if it's used as an adjective or a noun. Cersei called Olenna "sour", Olenna shot back by calling her a $lut.
"He really was a c**t, wasn't he?" I spat my drink across the room when watching the episode for the first time. I knew Olenna was acid-tongued but that just caught me completely off-guard.
It's nice to know Diana Rigg got the chance to shine so brightly near the end of her life. She'll be remembered for many great performances, but this might be the most compelling character of her career.
Olenna and Tywin both had a VASTLY larger presence in the show than in the books. The actors were both great and the writers gave them both excellent scenes.
In a pit of vipers, where everyone is speaking out of both sides of their mouth and feverishly attempting to backstab the other, it’s refreshing to have a character like Olenna Tyrell who is so far above the Game of Thrones that she can speak her mind because she knows she’s untouchable. What an icon.
@@aleksandarvil5718ive marathoned season 1-7 and about to come to 8. I read most fans are dismayed by Season 8, what happend? Was there a change of writers? Or did they rush the season? Thanks
They abandoned common sense, multiple plot lines and finally any semblance of competent writing, in that order. (Mostly because they were promised a Star Wars show once it was over and they wanted to get on with that, but because of how atrocious season 8 was the project got pulled.) Never rush the finale folks. We call that "Doing a Dan and Dave" now.
That' one of the biggest fumbles in the decade, and a very dumb one at that. Star Wars already existed for decades, these guys are just one of many writers who had touched the series. Game of Thrones reached i' level of Frame due to their and the original writer' material. Their whole careers were would be linked to producing such a massive hit!. Ye they fumbled that just to become another writer for star wars...
Honestly, the “Not now, Mace, Lord Tywin and I are speaking,” is an underrated gem that never ceases to elicit a cackle from me because it’s SO disrespectful and she doesn’t even insult him or anything 😂 That, and another underrated line that she goes straight into LITTLEFINGER’S PLACE OF BUSINESS, one of the most dangerous men in the seven kingdoms, and threatens him like “you think you’re hot shit? Look at this old face and tell me I don’t know exactly what I’m talking about.” Fuckin badass
One of the biggest non-secrets in Westeros is that even though Mace is officially the Lord of Highgarden and all the titles that come with that, Olenna is the one truly running the show and the one Tywin addresses as an equal, while Mace is viewed with all the relevance of a child.
@@Outsyder216 Mace in the show and Mace in the books are somewhat different characters, in that book Mace is less of a joke and a medium warrior/war general, although he’s sorely lacking in experience since he’s been in peacetime for the last few decades. So he has few real accomplishments to his name. However, all of his sons are formidable knights, especially Loras Tyrel, who Jamie Lannister literally realizes in the books with a tinge of horror, “He’s better than I am,” while watching him not only out-joust the mountain but then hold his own in sword battle for a few minutes, after Gregor loses his temper. Which is remarkable considering Gregor is 8 ft tall of rage, and Loras is teenager a head and a half shorter and lithe as a whip by comparison. But in the show, Sandor steps in almost immediately and it heavily implies that Loras would have been dead meat imminently, if not for Sandor’s intervention. In the books, it’s only when Loras is starting to lose momentum and stamina from huge dodges or blocking/ absorbing massive blows to the point that his wooden shield completely comes apart and he tosses it aside, staggering, that The Hound steps in to fight. Also, neither the show nor I have even touched on Garth, nor Wyllas (Mace’s other sons) here, but both are also highly impressive and capable individuals, even Wyllas who was crippled by his horse falling on him during a tourney when he was just a teenager. But he basically runs Highgarden for Mace and is extremely learned, since his dreams of being a knight were snatched away. That’s why the Tyrel’s are really so smart about money-Wyllas’s cleverness with numbers, post-accident, as well as Olenna’s influence. But she’s actually far less visible in the books, and her grandsons are really remarkable young men. Loras becomes the second youngest member ever to join the kingsguard, and Jamie knows that he deserves it more than he did when he was given the white cloak, which king Ares only did to spite Tywin by robbing him of his male heir to casterly rock. Basically if he hadn’t been so stupidly brave and gotten himself killed (which he’d basically been yearning for since Renley died), he might have been the next greatest knight in the kingdom. The next Ser Barriston the Bold. And since he was highly implied to be gay in the books (not like in the show which was very openly stated), he was never likely to dishonor his white cloak by secretly father children or taking a wife.😆
I did get the feeling that Olenna actually did care about Sansa in a way. She saw a tormented girl who was petrified and realized that Sansa had been forced to do what Olenna was able to avoid.
Every character makes foolproof plans to kill Joffrey: fails Olenna Tyrell uses a poison she has never seen before: success That was the day reverse plot-armour was invented.
She was awesome!!!! That lady put everyone in their place with dispatch!! An amazing roast master with the unmatched blade of truth behind her ever word... That lady has my unending respect and admiration... 😊😊😊😊
Olenna was the only character in the later seasons I was actually still excited for. She was just as "no bs" as Tywin but in a totally different, charismatic way. Like, I wish we got an interaction between Olenna Tyrell and Robert Baratheon because it would be LEGENDARY
Olenna woke up every day and chose violence
And we loved her for it.
FR
Not violence just truth unfiltered truth even if it was about her own house
Nah, she chose EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
The verbal style though
Lady Olenna lost her husband, son, grandchildren(particularly her granddaughter), and her whole house and yet she still got the last laugh in the end.
There’s not a lot of people that own their death scene, but Olenna managed to be the most badass character as she was doing.
“Tell Cersei, I want her to know it was me”
Gives me chills
FACTS
Yes and no. End of the day her house is wiped out. An entire generation gone. After 2/3rd generation no one would talk about tyrell but they will through lannister. Tyrion atleast lives and others.
Only in D+D’s horrible take on GoT. In the books the Tyrell’s are very much thriving.

George watching D and D write seasons 5 -8:
I just love thst scene because Cersei is clearly trying to pull the sake trick Tywin always did but Olenna just saw straight through it.
I think she try to copy tywin. Difference is, tywin actually writing/working but Cersei just wanna look too busy too talk.
I love how Ollena even roasted her own family. But still loved them dearly 😂
Not entirely sure she loved her son. The lord oaf of high garden. Maybe she was always disappointed of Mace, but she still loved him, just as Tywin was always disappointed in his family
That's what family does.
In the books that's literally the first she does when Sansa meets her.
Rather a roasting from Ollena than a roasting from Daenerys.
"Shut up, Mace."
If Tywin and Olenna had married, they would've owned the entire world. Lol.
They would plot to kill each other once a month.
I still don't understand why they didn't. It would have been the best decision for all, right?
The Lord and Lady of Snark
I think she's much older than Tywin
If they had married one of them would have killed the other within a year… but damn what an interesting year that would have been.
the way she complemented and made Brianne smile insulting her own grandson hahahaha awesome
Yeah, and it looks like Brienne isn't sure if she is being mocked or not when Olenna calls her marvelous, but is convinced when she insults Loras.
it’s so funny watching her cook everyone but then just fan girling over brien 😂😂

Her telling Tyrion that she was disappointed that he didn't live up to his reputation as a partier is the funniest to me. He genuinely looked hurt. 😂
Huh? That was a compliment and Tyrion is smart enough to know that.
@@PRubin-rh4sr It was clearly a backhanded complement and by the look on his face you can clearly tell Tyrion knew it.
She just told him, she thought he was kindred spirits but he has let the job get to him. That's hurts a party boy.
She tried for an instant to be pleasant when talking about Sansa. Then she rolled right back into being a savage.
Olenna: She's an interesting girl.
Varys: Is she?
Olenna: No, not particularly

R.I.P Dame Diana Rigg you truly are a phenomenal actress and played lady Olenna Tyrell perfectly 🥰
Yeah, she was awesome!

R.I.P incredible performance.
to quote tyrion from the book "tyrion was beginning to wonder whether lord luthor tyrell had ridden off that cliff intentionally"
LOL I loved how she basically called Cersei a whore to her face. xD😂
Getting incimerated by wildfire is much better than being roasted by Olenna Tyrell.
Real
Varys' face at 1:12 is fucking priceless. He's like "dis bitch for real????"
"Ugh! You can smell the shit from 5 miles away!"
That line just kills me! Her delivery is perfect!
"Might I sit?"
"No."
😂
She was the freaking best. She outroasted and outplayed almost everyone. And her loving Brien is amazing. We love her too.
The most epic one was definitely "Ah the *famously* tart Queen of Thorns" "And the *famous* tart Queen Cersei" Cersei thought she was veing clever only to get punned (?) to humiliation.
Explain this for someone whose English isn't their first language.
@@mysidian "Tart" changes meaning depending if it's used as an adjective or a noun. Cersei called Olenna "sour", Olenna shot back by calling her a $lut.
@@mysidianCersei, by saying she was tart, was saying that she was grumpy and sour. Olenna called her a tart, pretty much calling her a whore.

"He really was a c**t, wasn't he?"

She passed away. Damn, but yeah a truly great performance
I heard a bit about Diana she is an awesome actress @@jeremygeller9145
i feel like that old lady knows how to physically fight and shes been hiding it the whole time
In the books Littlefinger mentions that she’s faking being frail.
Well she's played by Diana Rigg of Avengers fame. If she's kept up her skills, she could tear most of the other characters apart.
No need to dirty her hand when she can tear them appart by vay of vicios mockery.
Hahahaha
I mean, that tongue is pretty much a lethal weapon.
Olenna and Tywin are the two absolute bosses of GoT.
Can you imagine if they had gotten married 😂😂😂
Olenna and Tywin both had a VASTLY larger presence in the show than in the books. The actors were both great and the writers gave them both excellent scenes.
The most savage old lady ever, and the “I want her to know it was me” at the end, gold.

”I wonder if you are the worst person I’ve ever met”
"Where did you go for them? *Volantis?"* 😂😂😂😂😂
1:26
But when Tyrion drinks they're in a tavern indeed
Pod isn't used to hear "That's enough" from his lord lmao
That's a goood catch. It's basically routine for him to fill an empty cup when he sees one. Gods, the writing was strong then.
@@TheMeanMongoose Lady Olenna wouldn't mind a full cup or two when alone either lmao
I love Olenna. She’s my absolute favourite. Pure sass.
That's why I love Lady Olenna and the Hound. They take no shit from anyone.

Rip Diana Rigg. She owned this role from start to finish.
I absolutely love Olenna. She killed it in every scene she was in.
I JUST LOVE WHEN THE QUEEN MOTHER THOUGHT SHE COULD FLOUNT HER POWER AROUND AND OLLENA PUT HER IN HER PLACE EVERY SINGLE TIME
The best line from Olenna Tyrell, to date: “You can smell the shit from five miles away🤢”
You skipped the ending... where Ollena put on her shades and lit her blunt!
OMG I'M DEAD 💀😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Gangsta!.. 😎😂
I’m not even up to this character but this video convinced me she’s one of my favs now 😂
“You can’t say No to everything”
Olenna: nonsense !
💀💀
Oh you cut the best part " old, im something of an expert on the subject"
She really was the Queen of Thorns. Always stinging the last word. When I turn 70 I wanna be just like her!
RIP Ms. Rig. She nailed her role like Robert nailed Rhegar.
I was raised by a woman like this. Mi abuela.
that woman had enough sass to sink a battlecruiser.
Her last dialogue still gives me goose bumps. She got everything taken away from her, yet she still faced death with pride.
She earned that pride, the entire world was in her dept for taking out Joffery before he managed the impossible by getting worse.
“Another golden rose” has the same energy as “Flowers? For spring? Groundbreaking…“😂
LOL she called her a tart im crrying
Did they seriously delete your videos man? The disrespect.
In another life, Olenna was a flame thrower!!
One of my favorite characters from the show definitely 😂
I did get the feeling that Olenna actually did care about Sansa in a way. She saw a tormented girl who was petrified and realized that Sansa had been forced to do what Olenna was able to avoid.
Rest In Peace to the queen of sass
"Tell Cersei, I want her to know it was me". I'm sure the Hound would agree she's NOT shit at dying.
3 words: What a woman! Probably one of the best characters of this show hands down.
Her and Lyanna Mormont...legendary conversations
Her being in awe of Brienne was so wholesome.
This definitely a woman who seen it all heard it all done it all talked it all. And is tired of it all 😂
Plena the only person to check the fuck outta Cersei and Little finger. Fuckin loved it
Olenna mouthing off to the Sand Snakes is always satisfying.
Every character makes foolproof plans to kill Joffrey: fails

If only Olenna could meet the Dowager Countess. They would roast everything.
she’s the best 🔥

Will always be my favourite character. ❤
