- I re-created another one of my old videos "The Kingsguard." The old version was made before Season 8, so in this version, I added scenes from the final Season.
(My original description from the old video)
After pondering about that book, I've realized that Jaime Lannister could be the key/secret to defeating the Night King and ending the long night (with Arya Stark). And he, once and for all, will be remembered for it and his long list of great deeds will be finally written in the "Book of Brothers."
The members of the Kingsguard under King Robert Baratheon:
1) Ser Barristan Selmy, Lord Commander
2) Ser Jaime Lannister
3) Ser Meryn Trant
4) Ser Mandon Moore
5) Ser Boros Blount
6) Ser Preston Greenfield
7) Ser Arys Oakheart
King Joffrey Baratheon:
1) Ser Jaime Lannister, Lord Commander
2) Ser Meryn Trant
3) Ser Mandon Moore (Killed by Podrick Payne during the Battle of the Blackwater after Mandon attempted to murder Tyrion Lannister. Replaced by Ser Balon Swann.)
4) Ser Boros Blount
5) Ser Preston Greenfield
6) Ser Arys Oakheart (Sent to Dorne as the sworn shield of Myrcella Baratheon.)
7) Sandor Clegane (Deserted his position during the Battle of the Blackwater. Replaced by Ser Osmund Kettleblack.)
King Tommen Baratheon:
1) Ser Jaime Lannister, Lord Commander (Dismissed by King Tommen after the Standoff at the Great Sept of Baelor.)
2) Ser Meryn Trant (Killed in Braavos by Arya Stark. Replaced by Ser Gregor Clegane.)
3) Ser Boros Blount
4) Ser Preston Greenfield
5) Ser Arys Oakheart (Returned from Dorne.)
6) Ser Balon Swann
7) Ser Osmund Kettleblack
Queensguard under Queen Cersei Lannister:
(The Lord Commander is yet to be named after Ser Jaime Lannister's dismissal.)
1) Ser Boros Blount
2) Ser Preston Greenfield
3) Ser Arys Oakheart
4) Ser Balon Swann
5) Ser Osmund Kettleblack
6) Ser Gregor Clegane
7) Unknown Knight

GoT is like that girlfriend. You might get mad at how things ended but still get nostalgic remembering the good times.
Absofuckinglutly 😂
Sad 😢 but true ugh, I still want to taste that..... Again.
Breadtube poetry.
Maybe I should go back with her
@@kaliyuga1476 man, can't forgive her
Man they fumbled Jaime so hard at the end. Him going back to Cersei was such a fail
What did they get right towards the end of the show??
I think the act of Jaime dying with Cersei could work. the thing they fucked up so badly was Jaime retconning the whole bath scene with that ridiculous line about not caring about the innocents
they fumbled everything once they got ahead of the source material
@@johnnymac6178the fkn hound

He didn't retcon though. He was flawed and he broke. He had a chance to become a better person but, at the end, he broke again. That's not a retcon, that's just life.
In the book Ser Barristan does walk out almost naked. And Lord Tywin was furious at how stupid a move removing Ser Barristan from the kings guard was.
Disrobes, takes the time to finish his entry in the White Book, kills some Gold Cloaks (presumably with their own weapons), and escapes the city.
@@jordonvh91
Exactly. He may have been old by Westeros standards but he was still Barristan The Bold and his name still meant something. His name lent credibility to whoever his sword was sworn to.
He had many great deeds to his name. He killed Simon Toyne leader of the Kingswood Brotherhood in single combat. He also ended the last Blackfyre rebellion during the war of the 9 penny kings where he killed Maelys (the monsterous) Blackfyre in single combat. He also entered Duskendale alone where King Aerys was being imprisoned by Lord Darklyne and scaled the walls of the Dunfort and rescued king Aerys from Lord Darklynes dungeon single handed. Dude was a true warrior.
No wonder Lord Tywin was furious. Dismissing Selmy was dumb af.
100% believed Jamie when he said to Ned he thought of what the Mad King did to Ned's father when he stabbed him.
Ned is such a hypocrite in this interaction; he initially craps on Jaime for doing nothing about his father and brother- but he also craps on Jaime for finally doing something to save King's Landing. What's a Jaime fookin' Lannister to do?!
@@fortune2515To Jaime, they were people ill-served and brutalised by their king. To Ned, Jaime speaks of his family like a shield against critique. Ned maybe a proud fool, but I'm not sure many would differ from him, given the circumstances.
@fortune2515 well he's saying that because Jamie's saying how it was awful what happened to Ned's father and brother, but he didn't do anything then, when he'd finally put down the king it was when the enemies (even if they were Tywins men) were at the gate and ready to sack the city, so to ned it seems awfully convenient that Jamie only betrayed his sacred oath when his life was potentially in danger than to save Ned's family
@@GoldnDustyIt's the reputation of the Lannisters and the smug presentation of his discussion.
And even on that matter to Ned Stark an Oath is worth more than anything else... you see that in the first episode with the execution of the runaways.
In reality it's worth only the weight of whom we swear fealty to.
@@lordreiman8352 Entirely this. Ned said it perfectly: "You served him well, when serving was safe." Everyone knew that killing the Mad King was what was best for the realm but Jaime only did it when he knew he wouldn't have to pay any price for it.
Ser Barristen unsheathing his sword is like a dragon who hasn’t moved or anything breathing fire. It reminded everyone of why he’s there in the first place. Thanks to Robert seeing how dope he was, also.
The Hound, even 20 paces back, accknlowledged the Bold
@@HumungusO_o I mean we all know he could melt them all down like a cake, that just leaves The Hound as the only defense (as big as he is, i dont think he stands a chance, even Hound knows this). So basically, Selmy can kill EVERYONE in there, stamina the only limitng factor.
How would anyone in G.O.T..Use Dope in referencing to a great man like sir Barristen!!..
Like Smaug seeing someone in his treasure room and growling.."Do you really want to do this?"
@charlesolarte7104 Hound might win out in a game of stamina, but Sandor clearly knows that's a fight he could very much lose...even with the odds stacked as much as they are in his favor.
The best spin off would have been an anthology series where Samwell was studying the Book of the Kingsguard during his maester training and each episode would be a story of one of the great deeds that either highlighted the honorable deeds in the wars raging around him or offered wise counsel in the consequences of all the folly.
Good idea.
Genuinely amazing idea
They are making an entire series around Sir Duncan the Tall.
Yes!!
someone tag HOD 😢
I like how the one kings guard is actually labeled with “sir whosit of whocares.”
Named by a fellow knight of the crown lands no less
2:27 note how the Hound way back subtly has his hand on his sword. He probably knows Barristan the Badass is still no joke even if he’s old. He probably thinks he'll have to get involved after those clowns are all one-shotted! 😂
bro i just noticed, good story telling
True he even seems more reluctant than he usually would be, they're all scared shitless 😂
Probably the dumbest move Cersei made. Barristan is the most respected and honored knight in the kingdom. He could have been a useful person to have in Joffrey’s court.
Cersei needed to fulfill the court by people who were loyal to her
Cersei was a snake and Ser Barristan was too honorable for her to be able to manipulate if needs be. She didn’t realize that he would keep his oath, no matter what his personal feelings he would protect his king. She probably thought he would do what her own brother had done (to the mad king) and kill Joffrey if he went psycho.
@@jammin2575I thought it was to give Jamie a seat on the small council by making him Lord Commander. Thereby further increasing the court with certain Lannister influence.
@@zoren7299 Barristan was loyal to her because he had sworn a sacred oath. If he stayed loyal to Mad King Aerys he would have stayed loyal to Cersei too. The move was extremely stupid on Cersei's part and most likely initiated by Varys to send Barristan to Daenerys.
He wouldve left either way, a rotten court is the last thing he wants to serve in
The thing that strikes me about Jaime's story is that he tried to justify his deeds to Ned and Catelyn and probably many others but only Brienne had the empathy to understand it.
And Robert
no,brienne was the only one he actualy told the entire thing,the writing is rly bad in places
I would argue that Catelyn did understand Jaime to a degree. She did rightfully trust him to bring her daughters home. That is quite the gamble if you do not believe he has the honour to see it through. She had Brienne as insurance, sure, but Brienne would have ultimately been powerless had Jaime gone against her and Catelyn.
ned was a naive idiot. honourable to the point of lunacy. i laughed, heartily, when his head was lopped off his shoulders
A lot of these characters suddenly became ridiculously stupid whenever the topic of the kingslayer came up. It is as if they all never acknowledge that the king ordering him to kill is own father and to murder the entire city of a million people with wildfire is somehow not relevant.
Every knight in the country is promised by his lord “I will give you no command that will bring dishonor upon you.” The moment the King ordered Sir Jamie or anyone to mass murder the entire city, he simultaneously freed EVERY knight of any oaths to him.
Jack Gleeson playing Joffrey was brilliant. So brilliant in fact that I still hate Joffrey's guts to this very day.
oh yeah,he also got the sniveling down to an art
this was put together so well, after a horrible ending it can be hard to remember what made the other seasons so incredible, this is a perfect reminder
Both Ned and Jamie are hiding secrets that destroyed their honor.
''you served him well when the serving was save''
All Neds lies he did it in the hardest possible time and way to save his nephew, dont compare Ned with ser Jaime.
@@yusufraage8554 that line wasnt actualy accurate,jamie served because it was his duty,he didnt kill the king because it was no longer safe to serve him,he killed him because he ordered him to kill his dad and was going to burn down the city,also jamie did some bad stuff sure,but they were always for a good reason,ned also did those things,remember the poor kid he executed in the pilot because he ''deserted''? there is not much difference between these 2 exept for the way people see them
@@yusufraage8554did you forget that he pretends to kill Dayne, the best duelist of all times in single combat but he forgot to tell his friend stabbed him in the back 😂
@@gigakick7882Ned Stark doesnt say he killed Dayne, idiots just assume and he doesnt correct them.
@yusufraage8554 He also didn't want to stain Arthur Dayne's honor in death by saying he got shanked from behind.
Better that the world believes that one of the greatest Kingsguard who ever lived died in honorable combat...especially since Ned was the one to personally return Dawn to Ashara Dayne.
This editing was excellently done. Holy crap. Thank you for making this.
Absolutely.
I honestly believe Jamie wasn’t a bad guy at all. I think years of being called king slayer and a man with no honor especially with the people not knowing the genuine reason behind it really took a toll on him and his self esteem. Resulting in him becoming hardened and harsh at times. Very misunderstood character and wonderful development throughout the series.
He also was vile a murderer, attempting to kill Bran and assassinating his cousin
@@Crisyx91 And fucking his own sister.
No, he did bad things. Doing bad things doesn't necessarily mean we're always a bad person-we have to learn and do better, we have to come to grips with our wrongs and make amends to those we've harmed, whether they forgive us or not.
Not to mention influence of his father and Cersei
They really dropped his entire fucking redemption arc by having him say "I never cared about innocent children/people" or something that close to that
Its wild how Barristan Selmy shut everyone up just by drawing his blade. Only person there that could have stood a chance against Barristan was the hound. Even then it would have been a tough fight.
Tricky to say who would have won at that point. Much as I love Sandor he would have had his arse handed to him by prime Barristan but he was well past that at that time, still arguably the best around tho
@@TheJayLordx Oh yeah, Prime Barristan beats everyone except maybe Ser Arthur Dayne, but an elderly Barristan vs the Hound would end as a draw imo.
@@MmaMadman85 Would be one hell of a scrap to watch that's for sure!
At that point in time hound destroys him. Simple as. Prime barriston was there best, better than Arthur Dayne, many eluded to this, it was only daynes magical sword that gave him the edge, even with it no 1 knew for sure. Great writing g.r.r.martin. For me though, prime barriston is the boss, no valerian steel or magic swords forged from meteors, he takes the W.
@@sjbbjs9040 George RR Martin himself answered the Dayne vs Barriston question. He said without Dawn, it would be a toss-up.
"Melt it down and add it to the others"
Most of the people in throne room probably didn't understand that qoute.
Aegon’s enemies
Ser Baristan: "melt it down and add it to the other" was a straight up threaten. So many clever ppl, still no one got it...
Basically saying I'm an enemy of the crown now
I truly believe if Jaime did explain the predicament to Ned then there could’ve at least been some understanding.
Especially considering Ned isn’t ‘as’ honorable as all believed
@@Tony-hq9clhe was even more honorable than all believed, lol, he put his reputation on the line to save jon
He wouldn't believe it
Ned hated everyone who just stood by as the Mad King ran rampant and enabled him while Ned fought against him. Nothing could redeem anyone from that in Ned's worldview.
Eddard was an prideful idoit
Aerys in the books is a cool character, just such a normal dude. I love swann from the books as well. Aerys is the only one of Jeffery’s guard to protest when he said to hit Sansa (he still did it but he was like wtf) and then betrayed his vows for a woman (arianne (I would’ve too)). An above average swordsman that believed in honor and love but wasn’t as noble as he hoped to be. Swann is just an all around cool guy and he’s also definitely a beast on the field, him and Moore on the blackwater were awesome. Ik I’m not saying anything profound here but I just love that George takes time to paint a picture of the rank and file within the ranks of an evil characters regime rather than just have them be evil henchmen.
Man I wanna see how Ser Whosit it of Whocares became part of the kingsguard.
What a fantastic edit. Made Jaime’s whole (show) arc so much more emotional than it actually was near the end. 👌
I like the realistic human part of game of thrones. The hypocrisy of people.
Jamie did what he had to do to save countless lives ... and still he was named the kingslayer, man without honour even though he had the guts to do what other couldnt. The same goes for Torrhen Stark, king of the north, as the Targaryen were on their conquest with their dragons he bend the knee to save his people from certain death and still he was the king who bend the knee. But if it comes down more people would rather live than die with honour.
Jaime didn't really have guts. He killed two old men when his father took control of the city and there would be no repercussions. He watched countless innocents get burned alive because, had he killed the Mad King then, he would have probably been put to death. He protected his own life over that of many innocents.
ser Jaime did what he did because his daddy was at the gates and there would be no consequences for his cowardly act.
ser Jaime has no honor that is why he kept all his ''good deed'' a secret.
Why do people keep forgetting he pushed a boy out of a window? Haha
@@yusufraage8554I think you're forgetting the fact that they were about to be all burned alive, and the fact that it was Nedd Stark who arrived first.
@@darkphoenix2745 Ned was at the Tower of Joy with his sister. Try again.
This was a great edit video. Love the subtitles added in with the names
@2:23 The fact that the Hound hesitated to draw his sword. almost like "We're f*cked if he attacks. It'll be bloody even now". Small subtle moments like this is what made the earlier seasons so damn good!
Ned and Jamie had more in common than they thought, and they both thought each other hypocrites because of it. Ned never fathered a bastard, and Jamie saved the whole city and every invading force in it
I wish Jaime could have had a better salvage at the end of his time. His death was so unsatisfying for the man he really became through such a wonderful story arc.
Very well done. Thank you for sharing. As Jamie's story clearly shows, Honor can take many forms depending on your point of view and the circumstances in which Honor is applied.
Awesome edit again bro
Jaime became more badass after losing his hand
No my lord, he has it here!
Jamie deserved a better final
This was very well done. Thank you for this.
Thank you for uploading the videos again🛐
Your editing is a masterpiece mate, congrats.
Season 1 kinsguard armor has to be the best looking armor for me in the enture GoT.
smooth editing sir
This is amazing! Thank you!
Great content and editing real talent on display.
Excellent editing!
God damn!!!! This is one of the best edit I’ve ever seen! Well fucking done!!
This video was beautifully put together ❤️
Not as beautiful as you
"Ser Taryn Mant, and, uh... Sir Whosa Da Fook Cares" has to be in the top five GOT quotes!
Fantastic edit. You haven't been given enough credit.
This was a very well-made video. Kudos!
You want to believe he's a good man, but he is deeply floored.
Remember he pushed a boy from a window to almost certain death among other foul deeds.
Great job on the video. I enjoyed it very much.
Beautiful video. Bravo.
In this matter, Jaime was absolutely correct. He was given an impossible, lose-lose scenario.
The editing you do is phenomenal
really good editing
This channel is excellent. How are there not more subscribers? These are video essays through editing
Was just thinking the same thing!!!
Wow. Incredible work, hushhodor.
Great editing in this video.
This is wonderful
This is a well done video - why is there not more views??
Because this was a well done video
Cos Jaimes arc ended up ruined
This is a fantastic edit.
That was a great edit.
Best complicated character ever. I love him
That's the beauty of some drama and how it brings out the Naive side of some viewers. We initially hated Jaime because he was an asshole but came to love him when he showed a more appealing side. But imagine if he had show more admirable feat in the beginning and on the latter side showed how such as asshole he is. We as viewers would have a different opinion.
Even the hound jumped a bit when Barristen drew his sword. Then thought good, let him tire on these 5 first if it kicks off then I'll jump in.
such a good montage
Even the Hound reaches for his sword, despite being 30+ feet away from Ser Barristan, with the Kingsguard between the two of them.
Very cool editing.
What a great video! 🎉
You know those moments, the ones where there’s literally no one in support…those are the ones that require reconsideration!
Sooo true when he throws his sisters letter in the fire made me so happy for his transformation
2 people were about to be reminded that it takes time to swing a sword with a dagger already at your throat.
“To be honest I never really cared about them, innocent or otherwise” man season eight was such a fail
Barristan is the true meaning of honor
Great watch thanks
Was one of my favorite characters
Cool montage.
Everyone knows Jamie killing arrys but nobody talks about Ned killing Arthur dane
Different context really
Arthur Dwayne was a g
@@Rm-ss5gvyes it was.. one stab in the back was to save one person, the other was to save hundreds of thousands
If Jaime had told the truth people would have had more of an understanding. The logic of always defending the king even when it means killing the innocent is exactly what happened with the Roman Praetorian Guard. They were the emperors' personal bodyguards but they will kill the emperor to save the innocent or even to be rid of a tyrant.
Ned didn’t kill Arthur. He lives as Mance Rayder.
Duncan the Tall... one of the greatest knights to ever walk the Seven Kingdoms.
Great job on this video bae bae!!
Great video.
wow. what an excellent video.
He pushed a kid out a window. Fuck 'im.
He also saved thousands and thousands of lives from immolation, children included
@@seiban8455 That's true. Complicated dude.
@@ryanjeanes5253 Yeah, one hell of an arc, to fall from saving thousands of people through being hated to the point of pushing a kid out a window for love, all the way back to reclaiming some shred of true nobility.
Barristan: "I could cut through the 5 of you like carving a cake". In the end we all knew he was serious lol
i am crying
“Ser talyn mant” is one of the best things to come out of bronns mouth
"I could cut down the 5 of you like cutting into a cake."
"...True, so we're kinda hoping you don't?"
-walks off.-
" Think I just found religion."
The contrast between him and Jon is crazy. For one both slayed they're queen/king when they went crazy. Both loved a family member. Jon stabbed his queen in the belly, Jaimie in the back.
Ironic that Jamie was dishonored by the best deed he ever did. Would the general folk care that Jamie killed the Mad King who was clearly a menace?
Ned would see Jamie as the betrayer who killed the King to help his father take the city. It might have made a difference if he knew the King planned on burning the city. Certainly Ned would have believed it.
Jamie's rant to Caitlyn was supposed to be smart, but it actually was ludicrous. Caitlyn could have easily rebuked it. A kingsguard only swears like four oaths, and those oaths would take precedence over any others previously sworn. Any knight would know that. Jamie being faithful to his sister is hardly a point of honor. Not only is his sister married, but she is married to the King. The Seven Kingdoms were plunged into civil war exactly because Jamie slept with his sister.
''you served him well when the serving was safe''
Its easy to do the right thing when daddy is at the gates even Theon could do what ser Jaime did.
@@yusufraage8554Said dardy and the other 2 armies worth of people is walking into a city with wildfire pots laid everywhere, if he had hesistated even a second too late, theyd all die
He was making a point to Caitlyn about her calling him a man without honor and oathbreaker based primarily on being the kingslayer. How does the kingsguard oath of obeying the king take precedence over the basic knight swear to protect the innocent (from mass pointless wildfire genocide) and the universally soul-damning sin in Westeros of kinslaying, these aren't points of honor?
Even ignoring the wildfire which he didn't know about: Ned obeyed his oaths until his father was executed then decided to instead kill Aerys, Jaime obeyed his oaths until he was ordered to execute his father and then decided to instead kill Aerys. Where is the difference? Ned is a hypocrite, he surely wouldn't have been convinced of Jaime tried harder to explain. He judged him instantly, based on the fact that lying Tywin using a ruse to betray the king was ready to take KL when his son Jaime the sworn KG probably plotting with him conveniently betrayed the king and murdered him in cold blood, all in haste just before Robert arrives, for a piece of the glorious victory pie. "Classic Lannister dishonor"
From that point on his honor was besmirched to the public for apparently being an oathbreaker so he stopped caring, about his vow of chastity for example. I mean, was he wrong that before sleeping with Queen Cersei he was seen as dishonorable as after people found out he slept with Cersei? So what's the point of sticking with the vows, that's his character. He became a victim of the contradictions of honor in their society and gave up on trying to be honorable
His Caitlyn rant is right. In the moment Aerys gave his pyromancer an order to murder the innocent and Jaime killed him on the spot in line with his vow to protect them. Then Aerys stared running away, and would find someone to kill Jaime and might succeed in murdering the innocent so he did the honorable thing in stabbing him. But Caitlyn focusing only on the protect your king part calls him an oathbreaker and man with no honor. Jaime's prefect response is which oath?
I find it always funny that Jaime gave Brienne the darkest armor he can get while giving her one of the shiniest sword in the series.
Final battle of humanity vs the dead.
Bran is warged into the past, being protected by Jaime and Brienne.
White walker stabs Brienne with her own sword, she lays on the ground dying.
Cut to young Jaime kneeling, with Aerys Targaryean saing "In the name of the Warrior, I charge you to be brave..."
Jaime kills the white walker, and after a brief moment of grief, draws the sword from Brienne, now aflame.
Cut to Aerys: "Do you swear to defend the innocent and the helpless, in the name of the Seven?" "I swear it."
Audio of Jaime and Brienne's parting plays as Jaime looks around.
"They say the best swords have names. Any ideas?"
Night King appears and stares at Bran, his ultimate target.
"Oathkeeper."
Jaime steps in between them, laughing somberly.
"Do you know what they call me?"
As Azor Ahai walks toward the Night King, all that can be heard is a cacophony of voices from past seasons cursing:
"Kingslayer.. Kingslayer! KINGSLAYER!"
The alternate ending Jaime deserved.
Great Job
Briennes mind-blown look when she realized that blade was valyrian steel
This is pretty cool
Excellent!
Boy, that actor played a great abnoxious child. Everyone hates him. Rare ability to gain that much hate.
Cool edit for real
you are so freakin talented
Thanks. Appreciate the kind words.
“My name is Jamie, not kingslayer! It’s Jamie”
Ser jamie is really a good man who cares about his people
Ser barristan is the perfect example to differ between a Warrior and a Knight.
The tine i hated Joffrey the most was when he was mocking his uncle father... Shit cut right to the bone lol
Jaime's story about the Mad King's death and final orders to burn it all, for real, is horrifying beyond all compare. There are monsters in this world, and there are villains. Jaime was a villain, a worse villain than most, but The Mad King and his faithful Pyromancer were monsters, like many who served the Lord of Light. The fact that he actually exists in that setting is even worse.
"You served him well when serving was safe." Stark was right about Jaime.
Jamie's last entry "ceiling catcher".
