@@newpgaston6891As far as I know, George Martin told the Show runners early on how the story will end (in case he dies before finishing the books). So Bran may become king in the books too. But certainly not with such a silly explanation.
Bran may be one king in the books but if they do it will be a dark ending.. it would be like humanity giving all it's authority to an inhuman AI.. George writes sci Fi too and I think that's bran fate, some see it as good some bad but not this hooray everyone wins because bran is king
Arya telling Jon that she knows a killer when she sees one, is almost funny after Dany destroyed Kings Landing. Great insight Arya. The scene with Drogon rising from the ash is pure high fantasy and i loved it.

I also thought Bran was a villain. Bran could of looked at Cersei plans and knew about the fleet. Dany would not have lost her 2nd dragon and Missandei would not have been caught. Dany might not have gone mad all because of Bran.
Well anyone that paid attention to Bran's conversations with Jojen and his visions would understand why he was to be King. Even George told D&D this long before the end of the show. Go back and watch them. I bet you will be surprised on what you missed and Jojen's facial expressions as he talks to Bran.
@@TheWindcrow I was just commenting on her reaction. You're saying Sophie didn't pay attention or is too stupid to understand. Like Dave and Dan, you should choose your words a little more carefully.
@@davidkoury7097 I guess you didn't pay attention either. Has nothing to do with being clueless or "stupid" as you say since you got so offended. If you had a reaction like "NO! This doesn't make sense! Then you should go back and watch Jojen and Bran's convo's again. Bran chooses his words wisely and George told Dan and Dave that Bran is to be King just incase something were to happen to R.R. Martin. So paying attention helps. I have been here since day one with her and love her reactions and no one is calling her stupid. You taking this personally is a you thing.
@@TheWindcrow The blame lies with D&D. GRRM builds more of the story around Bran. Bran's the very first POV chapter, GRRM uses Arthurian imagery around him, has him begin to learn to rule at Winterfell while Robb is off fighting, etc. But D&D all but said in S5 that they thought Bran was "boring." And didn't really develop him in a way that made the finale make sense. D&D were open about the fact that Lena, Sophie, and Maisie were their favorites and it showed.
Sofie has been the best reaction for GoT, so sharp and catches things the first time around. Took me many viewings of the show as it was airing to catch it all.
Just to establish some "facts" about the second part of season 8: Grey Worm becomes Euron Greyjoy. Bronn becomes Petyr Baelish. Varys becomes Ned Stark. Jon becomes Jaime Lannister. Dany becomes Cersei Lannister. Sansa becomes Mance Rayder. Aria becomes Dora the Explorer
Drogon's grief is so powerful! This has never been his war. He's always wanted to go back to Valyria but had to stick by his mom. Even after he saved her from the Masters he refused to take her back. Now he's condemning the throne that he never wanted any part of because it's made him lose everything and everyone he's known. From Daenerys to Jorah to Missandei to Viserion to Rhaegal. He has nothing left except his mother's dead body . Powerful scene!
@@melkor3496 yeah couldn't agree with you more!! Season 4 was absolute television gold the dialogue between the characters was phenomenal, i've always been a House Stark man and Jon Snow in particular and always will be but the interactions between Tyrion, Varys and littlefinger wow!!
Except most people said that about almost everything, even though it made perfect sense. The only thing she really reacted that way to here was Bran being chosen as king. While I get that it can seem strange, after you've had quite some time to think about it, it's probably the most diplomatic choice possible in that situation. Even though he's a Stark, his character now clearly has a marked quality of being impartial, whereas choosing someone like Sansa would lead to a power imbalance, and besides she'd rather be Queen in the North, so declaring independence and being that fits her much better. Who else would make a better ruler in that situation? You could argue for Jon, but that's definitely wasn't going to happen after what went down, so who else? Tyrion himself would perhaps have been the second choice after Jon, but that's definitely not going to happen either after what went down, and he's the one trying to achieve a diplomatic outcome there, so he's not going to try to hint at himself. Other minor characters just aren't going to cut it, obviously Davos or Sam or Brienne aren't going to cut it. Robin? Don't make me laugh. Alternatively you could argue for Gendry too, as he actually has a legitimate claim and even Targaryen blood being a Baratheon, but he's still too minor of a character, and also indisputably a bastard. He also likely wouldn't be a good fit for the type of king needed to rebuild, but more the type of king to conquer, like his father. So in the situation, while it might have seemingly come out of left field, Bran was actually a good and diplomatic choice that would potentially make for an impartial ruler that could restore some balance after the chaos. Personally I have a hard time seeing how any other character could really have been better, and that's probably what the writers also concluded. When so many major characters are dead, there's naturally going to be a vacuum, and the best fit won't always be the ones that have had the most significant screentime.
@@chiarafonzi9613Black Jack Randall is all I see when I look at him now. I can't even watch *that* episode; I read the books and knew what happened, that's enough for me!
If I recall correctly, the first chapter of the first book features Bran as the central character, and I thought "Okay, this story is probably going to end with him becoming king." which seemed unlikely given everything that followed.
A massive Thankyou Sofie, its been a pleasure watching you react to this series. I've watched every reaction episode, and it's been so enjoyable seeing your genuine reactions, you caught every detail, connected every throw back, and noticed every single clue, it's been an emotional roller coaster and a pleasure. A massive Thankyou again from every person who's watched with you and we look forward to your reaction to "The House of The Dragon"!
a big thank you to SoFie... her commentary, clever remarks, empathy and her ability to see the tiniest of clues makes her best reactor to GoT I've seen. And to me very beautiful :)
Enjoyed watching your reactions to these. Some great insights throughout Note on Sansa’s hair! Throughout the series she styled her hair after her biggest influences, her mother early on, Cersei after she went to Kings Landing and later Dany. When she is crowned queen of the north she has an original hairstyle signifying becoming her own person
Literally let out an impromptu chuckle when he said bran, bran the broken. Like whaaaaaa? I was almost positive they had decided to sideline bran and were going to do a whole democracy thing with every kingdom independent and council between them... Sigh..
D&D are the blame for that. As someone who read the books before the show began airing, Bran had always been one of my favorite characters in the books. It wasn't until D&D got their hands on the character that I found him boring.
everyone is saying - Bran has most boring story why should he be KING? and everyone is Missing the obvious thing, lol. WHY THE FUCK DOES IT MATTER BEST STORY to be A KING? LMAO!! Like who has the most beautiful nose will become the CEO of Waystar Royco or sth. What's the relation there?
Like I said season 8 does have some really good moments. When Brienne is writing the story of jaime with that music theme in the background WATER WORKS. Beautiful scene.
Jamie is a sister banging, kin slaying, dickhead who banged brienne and dipped on her to go back to the same sister he killed his own cousin just so he could r*pe said sister next to the corpse of his own son. Such a beautiful moment when that character gets remembered. Jamie is my favorite book character, so dynamic/conflicted, but it's weird people know what his character becomes on the show can still be fans of him. At least Daenerys doesn't turn til the end Jamie stays making immoral decisions whole show and never redeems
It was a pleasure watching you experience this series... I had wanted to rewatch it myself, even knowing the ending, because there is SOOOOO much good there... but I never seem to find the time to commit (or someone new to watch with)... so it was really great watching with you because you are very sharp and catch all the great stuff and make me think about things in a way I maybe didn't first time around.... Keep killin' it.
Thank you Sofie for sharing your journey with us. I agree with you that no matter how badly it ended, this was most definitely one of the greatest shows ever made. I look forward to your House of the Dragon reactions. Be well❤
Bran is really the only one that can't be corrupted by power. Especially right after the fall of all the kingdoms. And when the rebuilding a better future (away from family dynasties) must take place. He is the only choice. Having the insight and past visions to avoid future mistakes. Bran the Builder.
Not everyone likes Sansa's ark and defending her is a job for most of us. But she's a true loyal northern man/Lady and she fulfilled what her brother, Rob's wish for the North, to be an independent Kingdom. For that she has my respect. The Queen in the North.
Been great, thanks! For me, Jon thumbed his nose at the 6 Kingdoms, went back to the happiest place of all. Especially since the Night King is gone. And a big key to me was when Dany mentioned "from Winterfell to Dorne". To me, that means she was going after Sansa. Jon did the right thing. Again, thanks for smoothing out the GOT rollercoaster ride. Thanks!
The witch tells young Cersei: "“Queen you shall be… until there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear.” *Enter: Bran the Broken*
I’m the same. I don’t really have a problem with where everyone ends up, but it needed at LEAST one more season, ideally two, in order to get everyone there.
That was not the point of Love is the death of duty it was suppose to show us that duty is nothing compare to lovem, true love will always win even Ned Stark chose love to his daughters to spare them over his honor and duty to Joffrey ,Rob chose woman over duty ,Caitlyn chose her daughters over duty when she free Jaime in exchange of her daughters to be freed ,they inly made Jon fixated on this duty so much that is too all point of his character Jon is honorable but he is not dumb he will break it if he has to he did break his vows already when he slept with Ygritte in books he choose to march on Winterfell to save fArya from Ramsey another breaking of rules on Nightwatch not to mention that he let Wildling beyond the wall
@@queenxx1690 But he sleeps with Ygritte to keep up his cover. And he's not really breaking any specific vow for trying to rally the Nights Watch to save fArya. But it did go against the "spirit" of the NW to remain neutral in the political affairs of the Realm...which we don't really know if this was the always the intent of the NW or something that evolved for the Watch over the millennia... The "Love is the Death of Duty" speech isn't saying whether love should be chosen over duty or duty over love. It's supposed to show that deciding between "right" and "wrong" is not always clear cut or easy, especially when it's very personal. And it's hard to choose against who and what you love. It's one of the reasons that the Jedi have their rules against attachments (which, as we've repeatedly seen, doesn't prevent them from forming attachments and facing these same decisions...) And, in Jon's case, he was torn between love on both sides (Dany vs the Starks). Dany burning KL and then trying to justify it to him made what was "right" more clear, but it wasn't easy to become a kinslayer/queenslayer.
@@jcompton8507 he did break vows of night watch he wants take people to go fight for Winterfell against Boltons he is using his position as a Lord Commander to help Starks when he was suppose to be neutral to any wars happening in Westeros and yes sleeping with woman was also breaking rules because at that time rules were established by real knight honorable people who took their vows seriously but now Night watch is full of Rapists murdered and Bandits so taking no wife they look for a way to avoid vows by sleeping with Whores and Wildlings.I'm talking about book not show show is a crap after season 5
Sophie, your reactions, comments, feelings matched mine, and then some revealing thoughts I didn’t even know I was having and connecting dots I haven’t. It was so great watching this with you. You are a natural comic and made me laugh. And your insights about characters especially Jamie‘s. Death of an addict, wow. And calling little finger middle finger.?! 😂 so many little comments you made, first time I ever heard the term queen-zone lol! Your heart and mind are genius in sync 🎉😂😢 like Arya said to Sandor, “ thank you”❤
It's OK, Drogon finds Berk (where there is a healthy supply of sheep), is adopted by Hiccup and Astrid, and gets to enjoy some great flying and burning villages without actually killing anyone.
Thank you so much for sharing your GOT journey with us! I've really enjoyed the ride and always appreciate your insight and general commentary. My one request before HOTD is that you watch GOT Bad Lip Reading! 🙏🙏🙏
The funny thing is that an elective monarchy doesn’t break the wheel. It just makes it spin faster lmao. Ask the Holy Roman Empire or the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Oh, wait, they’re no longer around to ask them
Over the past week I've binged this entire series with you. Thank you for your joy, sorrow, laughs, cries, love, anger, all the other emotions, and most of all for that great smile! Had a blast reliving this great series through your eyes. On to House of the Dragon!
As much as it’s upsetting that it appeared Jon got shafted, you’re right he’s where he will be happiest. Doesn’t want to rule, was always happiest in the real north living amongst the free folk and now gets to live amongst them Imo Bran sent him there knowing there was no need for a nightswatch anymore & Jon would be free as Greyworm would never know
Greyworm is going to Missandei's home Island, Nauth with the Unsullied to start families as Davos suggested! Problem is: that Missandei told him that the Butterflies in Nauth are poisonous to foreigners! And how the hell do Eunuchs' start families! Guess Dan & Dave forgot!
I really wish George would someday publish the books...because these statements are so untrue for Book Jon. He _wanted_ to be _something_ , but his options were severly limited by his status as a bastard. (The only thing I _will_ say is that Book Jon makes clear is that he would never take away something from his family... Cat always claimed that he would try to take Winterfell from her children, and he was so adamant to prove even dead-Cat wrong that it's the main reason he refuses Stannis's offer to legitimize him and make him the Lord of Winterfell.) Also, he had no particular love for the North or being cold.
What is the real north is just a tundra, nothing grows there and I thought Jon gifted The Gift to the free folks when he became lord commander. Its like D&D didnt watch their own show, they tell you one thing and in the next episode they undo that thing that they said was a thing.
I think everyone misses the point. It makes the most sense. Brand is wise and compassionate. He knew the past as well had glimpses of the future. Brand didn't know, but he saw it was on many futures. If you think back the ONLY truly good honorable ruler was Ned Stark. He ruled through compassion, was wise, and loved his children and his children loved and respected their father and his wisdom. After so many tyrants and world in chaos....it was good to see Starks on throne. It was like after all the horrible leaders...his children on thrones made so much sense.
I've watched a handful of other RUclipsrs react to all of GoT and you are easily the most eloquent, aware, intuitive and observant, with some of the best takes I've heard from anyone. It's genuinely impressive that this was your first time watching the series, and having never read the books. Thank you for covering this show. It wasn't the exact ending I wanted or imagined, but Game of Thrones and the world of Westeros will always hold a special place in my heart. Watching you experience it for the first time was so much fun.
Thank you for 8 seasons of great reactions, Sofie. I watched the whole series 3 times, and also went on to watch reactions to everything by 5 different reactors. I enjoyed yours by far the most. Especially from the last episodes of Season 6 until the end, you had the best insights and you looked at the series the most similar to how I understood it myself. And I said the same thing in the last episode, when Tyrion mentioned "Who else has a better story than Bran", I specifically shouted "Literally everyone" :D So thanks again, and I will make sure to also stay loyal to your channel with House of the Dragon :)
It's been great ride watching you watch every episode. I love game of thrones and I knew you would too. It was fun seeing you shocked, seeing you laugh, seeing you pissed and of course seeing you cry many time. All your reactions were great to hear. I will never forget you naming Lord Baylish "Middle Finger". So funny and so appropriate. In conclusion you did a great job Sofie. By the way you are very beautiful and looking at you is always a pleasure. Until the next one. Take care Sofie!!! Your big fan, Lino🥰
WONDERFUL JOB, SOFIE; sad it's over, but anxious for HOTD! 😊 FUN FACT: Only the Starks that King Robert touched in the receiving line at Winterfell were the ones that died! 😮
But who better to rule than someone who literally knows everything and can see anything from anyone’s life. He knows what they’re plotting and what alliances they’ve made and he knows what they’ll do in the future. He’s basically god and he isn’t power hungry and won’t make emotional decisions. He has all of the qualities you hope a ruler has and more. He can never be fooled or manipulated by anyone everyone else has this human factor which can be flawed and lead to their downfall and the kingdoms
This reaction series is next to none. I have thoroughly enjoyed it, start to end! Thank you SO much Sofie, for sharing your journey with us! I loved all of it!
I understand why people hates Bran king endgame but he would be a great actually for the realm. As the three-eyed raven he is all knowing; everytime a lord or smallfolk comes to him with their petitions or “stories” he can see the truth at once. Remember what happened to Littlefinger. That trial had no witness and by all laws, Baelish should have been able to come away alive but Bran saw the truth and so justice was served. Also having no “feelings” takes away biases from Bran, he will never be tyrant or cruel or greedy for more power.
Sofie- I hope all is well with you. Just wanted to 'say' that I accidentally came across your wonderful RUclips channel and, as a GoT lover, watched all your GoT reaction videos over a period of ten days. I so enjoyed your comments, observations and reactions, and was quickly caught up in re-watching all the key scenes of this extraordinary TV series. Your videos reminded me why I still love GoT, despite it's flawed, rushed ending. It's been an absolute treat revisiting the series with such a witty, intelligent, joyful, tearful, life-affirming person - such brilliant and beguiling company. Keep up the great work. I'm checking out your 'House of the Dragon', reactions next. Thanks so much. Best wishes.
In Season 1 Aemon Targaryen says John, what will you choose when one day fate puts love or honor before you? Well, he basically spoiled the ending for us. Chills.
You know what i just realized? House Stark now rules ALL of Westeros. (pretty much) Sansa rules the North. Bran rules the Six Kingdoms..and Jon went north, who will most likely be their new "King Beyond the Wall" or at the very least he will be their new Clan Leader/Cheiftain.
Bran: I am not lord STARK, I can't be lord of anything Also Bran: Lord of six Kingdom, King Bran, Protector Of The Realm, King of Kings Landing, Three Eyed Raven and Lord of all and everything.😂
I just found your channel recently so I'm pretty late to this but I watched the whole playlist of GoT and you have some of my favorite reactions ever. Also compared to many others I have seen and even myself you're so observant and picked up on so many things others miss. Well let's see if you have anything less soul wrenching to offer.. :)
I'm still of the mind that Gendry was the most logical choice. His claim rests on his father's name, and Robert's claim rested on the Baratheon ties to the Targaryen. Daenerys basicaly validated those claims when she recognised him as rightful, which means figures like Yara or Grey Worm would have had to agree. He's also got enough good will with Aria to convince her to shoulder him in that regard towards her sister, and Sansa in turn can get the Vale and Riverlands on board. To cement all that, his political weakness would actualy be a good thing at first, because most would see him as having limited power and an opening for furthering their own positions (if you have a look at history, half the Popes were selected as placeholders to break stalemates in the politics among Roman patrician families. It's far from unheard of).
I really enjoyed watching this show with you sweetie. Honestly I’ve come to appreciate the last season as the years have gone on. I sincerely hope we get a Jon Snow sequel. His legacy can’t have been for nothing. I look forward to watching more shows with you.
Thanks for sharing your reaction to GOT! The writers didn’t exactly stick the landing but it’s still the greatest series of the 2010’s in my humble opinion. See you for HOTD! Cheers!
Same reaction when Tyrion, TYRION says who has better story than Bran the Broken. I was like huh... and then I thought since he doesn't want to be anything he will just tell no and propose someone else as a king or queen. But then he said magical words. Wow. Literally the fing Night watch existed to keep kingdom safe from Wildlings and Night King. Since none are a threat what in the world is it still doing existing? What do they do up there? Ride on sledges? What is west of westeros? You're telling me there were no expeditions west of the Kingdom from King's Landing? Never? No one was curious enough?
Thank you SoFie for so much fun and emotion in sharing your journey therse last few months. What a journey! Yes, we are now differewnt people to those we were before. I feel better for it and hope you do too.
Now we watch some HotD!!! I can’t wait for you to meet Daemon! Do some of the “InDeepGeek” videos if you’re really interested in the world. He does some amazing in-depth analysis. And you’ll learn fun tips like ‘when in doubt blame BloodRaven”!
Arya "Queen of the Seas" Thank you Sofie for reliving this show with me for a 2nd time with all new perspectives and insight. Look forward to more of your analysis of other shows. Your skills need to be honored !!
Here are some true facts about season 8: 1. HBO was ready to do GoT for 10 seasons or at least have a full-length 8th season with at least 12 episodes 2. Dumb and Dumber didn't want to go through with more episodes because they were offered to write a new Star Wars (they got fired later on and replaced) 3. There was no lack of budget for HBO's hit series 4. Dumb and Dumber are simply terrible writers who could only write scripts based on already written stories (note how the quality dropped after book material ended)

He also likely wouldn't be a good fit for the type of king needed to rebuild, but more the type of king to conquer, like his father.
So in the situation, while it might have seemingly come out of left field, Bran was actually a good and diplomatic choice that would potentially make for an impartial ruler that could restore some balance after the chaos. Personally I have a hard time seeing how any other character could really have been better, and that's probably what the writers also concluded. When so many major characters are dead, there's naturally going to be a vacuum, and the best fit won't always be the ones that have had the most significant screentime.
Not everyone. I loved it.

I feel for Tobias Menzies (Edmure) : called back after 3 seasons just to say two lines and be humiliated 😫
He deserves it for hurting poor Jamie Fraser
He did a great job as Prince Philip on the Crown. I was blown away at how good he was in that.
He was fucking wasted by the dumbass showrunners.
@@chiarafonzi9613Black Jack Randall is all I see when I look at him now. I can't even watch *that* episode; I read the books and knew what happened, that's enough for me!
If I recall correctly, the first chapter of the first book features Bran as the central character, and I thought "Okay, this story is probably going to end with him becoming king." which seemed unlikely given everything that followed.
A massive Thankyou Sofie, its been a pleasure watching you react to this series. I've watched every reaction episode, and it's been so enjoyable seeing your genuine reactions, you caught every detail, connected every throw back, and noticed every single clue, it's been an emotional roller coaster and a pleasure. A massive Thankyou again from every person who's watched with you and we look forward to your reaction to "The House of The Dragon"!
a big thank you to SoFie... her commentary, clever remarks, empathy and her ability to see the tiniest of clues makes her best reactor to GoT I've seen. And to me very beautiful :)
Enjoyed watching your reactions to these. Some great insights throughout
Note on Sansa’s hair! Throughout the series she styled her hair after her biggest influences, her mother early on, Cersei after she went to Kings Landing and later Dany. When she is crowned queen of the north she has an original hairstyle signifying becoming her own person
Your pain is shared, this is golden reaction.
Dany meets Night King
Dany: Night King?
Night King: Did you do it?
Dany: Yes.
Night King: And what did it cost?
Dany: Everything...
😭😭
Genius
This was a great journey and I’m glad to have been a part of it. You did a wonderful job and I’m looking forward to your HOTD reactions
Sofie, what do you mean? Who has a better story than the character off screen for an entire year whose story was too boring to show?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am not some Bran-hater, but genuinely, when I first heard years ago he will not be in season 5, I was happy.
Literally let out an impromptu chuckle when he said bran, bran the broken. Like whaaaaaa?
I was almost positive they had decided to sideline bran and were going to do a whole democracy thing with every kingdom independent and council between them... Sigh..
D&D are the blame for that. As someone who read the books before the show began airing, Bran had always been one of my favorite characters in the books. It wasn't until D&D got their hands on the character that I found him boring.
everyone is saying - Bran has most boring story why should he be KING?
and everyone is Missing the obvious thing, lol. WHY THE FUCK DOES IT MATTER BEST STORY to be A KING? LMAO!!
Like who has the most beautiful nose will become the CEO of Waystar Royco or sth. What's the relation there?
"you must be kidding me. it doesn't make sense whatsoever."
that about sums up this episode for everybody on planet Earth.
Like I said season 8 does have some really good moments. When Brienne is writing the story of jaime with that music theme in the background WATER WORKS. Beautiful scene.
Music and CGI the only thing done right in season 8
@@queenxx1690 agreed. I thought episode 1-3 were very good in season 8
Jamie is a sister banging, kin slaying, dickhead who banged brienne and dipped on her to go back to the same sister he killed his own cousin just so he could r*pe said sister next to the corpse of his own son.
Such a beautiful moment when that character gets remembered.
Jamie is my favorite book character, so dynamic/conflicted, but it's weird people know what his character becomes on the show can still be fans of him.
At least Daenerys doesn't turn til the end Jamie stays making immoral decisions whole show and never redeems
Brienne lied in the books making Jaime out to be a hero.
It was a pleasure watching you experience this series... I had wanted to rewatch it myself, even knowing the ending, because there is SOOOOO much good there... but I never seem to find the time to commit (or someone new to watch with)... so it was really great watching with you because you are very sharp and catch all the great stuff and make me think about things in a way I maybe didn't first time around.... Keep killin' it.
Thank you Sofie for sharing your journey with us. I agree with you that no matter how badly it ended, this was most definitely one of the greatest shows ever made. I look forward to your House of the Dragon reactions. Be well❤
Bran is really the only one that can't be corrupted by power. Especially right after the fall of all the kingdoms. And when the rebuilding a better future (away from family dynasties) must take place. He is the only choice. Having the insight and past visions to avoid future mistakes.
Bran the Builder.
Not everyone likes Sansa's ark and defending her is a job for most of us. But she's a true loyal northern man/Lady and she fulfilled what her brother, Rob's wish for the North, to be an independent Kingdom. For that she has my respect. The Queen in the North.
Sansa is my favorite character.
She was so loyal that she snitch on her brother in 2 seconds and spilt the secret her father kept for 20 years.
Been great, thanks! For me, Jon thumbed his nose at the 6 Kingdoms, went back to the happiest place of all. Especially since the Night King is gone. And a big key to me was when Dany mentioned "from Winterfell to Dorne". To me, that means she was going after Sansa. Jon did the right thing. Again, thanks for smoothing out the GOT rollercoaster ride. Thanks!
The witch tells young Cersei: "“Queen you shall be… until there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear.” *Enter: Bran the Broken*
The "who's that?" at the council was little Robin Arryn. It's been fun watching your reactions, and I'll be here for HotD.
Sophie you truely understood Jon's and Dany's heart.
It is so good to watch a reactor that gets it
Game of Thrones is an amazing show overall. I am not a huge fan of the last 2 seasons, but it will always be one of my favorite shows!
Same here. Hate the last 2 seasons, love the rest of them!
I’m the same. I don’t really have a problem with where everyone ends up, but it needed at LEAST one more season, ideally two, in order to get everyone there.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 🙏
The only problem with the last two seasons is the boring romance.
@@macker33 absolutely i felt so bad for Kit Harrington the only lines he had in season 8 were "i don't want it" and "she's ma Queen"
Jon did the opposite of Rob Stark. Rob chose love over duty whereas Jon killed love for duty.
That was not the point of Love is the death of duty it was suppose to show us that duty is nothing compare to lovem, true love will always win even Ned Stark chose love to his daughters to spare them over his honor and duty to Joffrey ,Rob chose woman over duty ,Caitlyn chose her daughters over duty when she free Jaime in exchange of her daughters to be freed ,they inly made Jon fixated on this duty so much that is too all point of his character Jon is honorable but he is not dumb he will break it if he has to he did break his vows already when he slept with Ygritte in books he choose to march on Winterfell to save fArya from Ramsey another breaking of rules on Nightwatch not to mention that he let Wildling beyond the wall
@@queenxx1690 But he sleeps with Ygritte to keep up his cover.
And he's not really breaking any specific vow for trying to rally the Nights Watch to save fArya.
But it did go against the "spirit" of the NW to remain neutral in the political affairs of the Realm...which we don't really know if this was the always the intent of the NW or something that evolved for the Watch over the millennia...
The "Love is the Death of Duty" speech isn't saying whether love should be chosen over duty or duty over love. It's supposed to show that deciding between "right" and "wrong" is not always clear cut or easy, especially when it's very personal. And it's hard to choose against who and what you love.
It's one of the reasons that the Jedi have their rules against attachments (which, as we've repeatedly seen, doesn't prevent them from forming attachments and facing these same decisions...)
And, in Jon's case, he was torn between love on both sides (Dany vs the Starks).
Dany burning KL and then trying to justify it to him made what was "right" more clear, but it wasn't easy to become a kinslayer/queenslayer.
@@jcompton8507 he did break vows of night watch he wants take people to go fight for Winterfell against Boltons he is using his position as a Lord Commander to help Starks when he was suppose to be neutral to any wars happening in Westeros and yes sleeping with woman was also breaking rules because at that time rules were established by real knight honorable people who took their vows seriously but now Night watch is full of Rapists murdered and Bandits so taking no wife they look for a way to avoid vows by sleeping with Whores and Wildlings.I'm talking about book not show show is a crap after season 5
@@queenxx1690 love wins but a lot of the time it's the morally wrong choice and you must chose the morally correct choice over love.
@@kevinprzy4539 if you choose something else than love then it was not true love simple
Sophie, your reactions, comments, feelings matched mine, and then some revealing thoughts I didn’t even know I was having and connecting dots I haven’t. It was so great watching this with you. You are a natural comic and made me laugh. And your insights about characters especially Jamie‘s. Death of an addict, wow. And calling little finger middle finger.?! 😂 so many little comments you made, first time I ever heard the term queen-zone lol! Your heart and mind are genius in sync 🎉😂😢 like Arya said to Sandor, “ thank you”❤
Thank you so much for this ❤️
It's OK, Drogon finds Berk (where there is a healthy supply of sheep), is adopted by Hiccup and Astrid, and gets to enjoy some great flying and burning villages without actually killing anyone.
Thank you so much for sharing your GOT journey with us! I've really enjoyed the ride and always appreciate your insight and general commentary. My one request before HOTD is that you watch GOT Bad Lip Reading! 🙏🙏🙏
U should definitely watch House of the Dragon next, It is the story about the Targaryen Civil War with around 20 Dragons in Existence....
She already said in the intro that she will, after she watches the other GoT videos
but i hope she doesn't expect the same quality....it's much worse
@@TheInvoker78 U must be joking lol😂😂...
@@lillylouu Yeah good good. I usually skip those intros that's why..😂
@@dineshbalu6107 it's even worse than worse?? ok....
The funny thing is that an elective monarchy doesn’t break the wheel. It just makes it spin faster lmao. Ask the Holy Roman Empire or the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Oh, wait, they’re no longer around to ask them
Over the past week I've binged this entire series with you. Thank you for your joy, sorrow, laughs, cries, love, anger, all the other emotions, and most of all for that great smile! Had a blast reliving this great series through your eyes. On to House of the Dragon!
Your face when Tyrion suggested Bran for King lmao. Representing every GoT viewer everywhere.
“He became the three-eyed raven..” and everyone’s like, “yup, he sure did.” Lol what a joke
As much as it’s upsetting that it appeared Jon got shafted, you’re right he’s where he will be happiest. Doesn’t want to rule, was always happiest in the real north living amongst the free folk and now gets to live amongst them
Imo Bran sent him there knowing there was no need for a nightswatch anymore & Jon would be free as Greyworm would never know
Greyworm is going to Missandei's home Island, Nauth with the Unsullied to start families as Davos suggested! Problem is: that Missandei told him that the Butterflies in Nauth are poisonous to foreigners! And how the hell do Eunuchs' start families! Guess Dan & Dave forgot!
I really wish George would someday publish the books...because these statements are so untrue for Book Jon. He _wanted_ to be _something_ , but his options were severly limited by his status as a bastard. (The only thing I _will_ say is that Book Jon makes clear is that he would never take away something from his family... Cat always claimed that he would try to take Winterfell from her children, and he was so adamant to prove even dead-Cat wrong that it's the main reason he refuses Stannis's offer to legitimize him and make him the Lord of Winterfell.)
Also, he had no particular love for the North or being cold.
What is the real north is just a tundra, nothing grows there and I thought Jon gifted The Gift to the free folks when he became lord commander.
Its like D&D didnt watch their own show, they tell you one thing and in the next episode they undo that thing that they said was a thing.
You said it was bittersweet...and that is the exact word George RR Martin used when he was asked how the story will end. Bravo!
I am glad that you enjoyed the ending
I think everyone misses the point. It makes the most sense. Brand is wise and compassionate. He knew the past as well had glimpses of the future. Brand didn't know, but he saw it was on many futures. If you think back the ONLY truly good honorable ruler was Ned Stark. He ruled through compassion, was wise, and loved his children and his children loved and respected their father and his wisdom. After so many tyrants and world in chaos....it was good to see Starks on throne. It was like after all the horrible leaders...his children on thrones made so much sense.
Your reaction to Bran being the King was basically the universal reaction .
"....Huh?"
Exactly Sofie, we were all right there with you.
Sofie, this whole reaction videos is great journey with you! Thank you for your reactions! :)
I had the same reaction when Bran became king. It is ridiculous!
"I can't frickin' believe I held the damn door for THIS" - HORDOR
It has been a joy watching your reactions. You are extremely perspective, interesting and emotionally invested.
Sofie: "Bran knew the future and used everyone as chess pieces."
God Emperor Duke Leto II: **nods knowingly**
I've watched a handful of other RUclipsrs react to all of GoT and you are easily the most eloquent, aware, intuitive and observant, with some of the best takes I've heard from anyone. It's genuinely impressive that this was your first time watching the series, and having never read the books. Thank you for covering this show. It wasn't the exact ending I wanted or imagined, but Game of Thrones and the world of Westeros will always hold a special place in my heart. Watching you experience it for the first time was so much fun.
Thank you for 8 seasons of great reactions, Sofie. I watched the whole series 3 times, and also went on to watch reactions to everything by 5 different reactors. I enjoyed yours by far the most. Especially from the last episodes of Season 6 until the end, you had the best insights and you looked at the series the most similar to how I understood it myself. And I said the same thing in the last episode, when Tyrion mentioned "Who else has a better story than Bran", I specifically shouted "Literally everyone" :D So thanks again, and I will make sure to also stay loyal to your channel with House of the Dragon :)
Thank you for your reaction it was wonderful and i wondered how you have so many subscribers . Now i know you do a lovely job.
It's been great ride watching you watch every episode. I love game of thrones and I knew you would too. It was fun seeing you shocked, seeing you laugh, seeing you pissed and of course seeing you cry many time. All your reactions were great to hear. I will never forget you naming Lord Baylish "Middle Finger". So funny and so appropriate. In conclusion you did a great job Sofie. By the way you are very beautiful and looking at you is always a pleasure. Until the next one. Take care Sofie!!! Your big fan, Lino🥰

What doesn’t make sense?
@@avonbarksdale91 last few eps
@@aakarshverma5793 everything is makes sense
But who better to rule than someone who literally knows everything and can see anything from anyone’s life. He knows what they’re plotting and what alliances they’ve made and he knows what they’ll do in the future. He’s basically god and he isn’t power hungry and won’t make emotional decisions. He has all of the qualities you hope a ruler has and more. He can never be fooled or manipulated by anyone everyone else has this human factor which can be flawed and lead to their downfall and the kingdoms
This reaction series is next to none. I have thoroughly enjoyed it, start to end! Thank you SO much Sofie, for sharing your journey with us! I loved all of it!
Finally she can start a real show!! HOUSE OF THE DRAGON
I understand why people hates Bran king endgame but he would be a great actually for the realm. As the three-eyed raven he is all knowing; everytime a lord or smallfolk comes to him with their petitions or “stories” he can see the truth at once. Remember what happened to Littlefinger. That trial had no witness and by all laws, Baelish should have been able to come away alive but Bran saw the truth and so justice was served. Also having no “feelings” takes away biases from Bran, he will never be tyrant or cruel or greedy for more power.
Thank you for letting come on the journey with you.
Sofie- I hope all is well with you. Just wanted to 'say' that I accidentally came across your wonderful RUclips channel and, as a GoT lover, watched all your GoT reaction videos over a period of ten days. I so enjoyed your comments, observations and reactions, and was quickly caught up in re-watching all the key scenes of this extraordinary TV series. Your videos reminded me why I still love GoT, despite it's flawed, rushed ending. It's been an absolute treat revisiting the series with such a witty, intelligent, joyful, tearful, life-affirming person - such brilliant and beguiling company. Keep up the great work. I'm checking out your 'House of the Dragon', reactions next. Thanks so much. Best wishes.
Thank you so much I appreciate it.
Exactly, Sofie... that was everyone' reaction to Tyrion suggesting Bran as king.... "huh?!?" 😂😂
Thanks for taking us on this ride with you.
I started the marathon of these reactions frw weeks ago and finished exactly to a finale reaction! Thank you, love them so much!
It was good good time with ur reactions of GOT. A big hug from Italy, i Will miss that 😢
Great pick up on the key change in the Stark theme. I felt it, but never made that correlation
I love how Tyrion hates the idea of even using dragonfire at all. It's really consistant with him burning down Stannis' fleet.
In Season 1 Aemon Targaryen says John, what will you choose when one day fate puts love or honor before you? Well, he basically spoiled the ending for us. Chills.
Sophie you will be even more ok with Jon's story when you find out that they are doing a show about him going North as we speak.
the confusion on your face was priceless🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣" Who has a better story....." EVERYONE!!
You know what i just realized? House Stark now rules ALL of Westeros. (pretty much) Sansa rules the North. Bran rules the Six Kingdoms..and Jon went north, who will most likely be their new "King Beyond the Wall" or at the very least he will be their new Clan Leader/Cheiftain.
Hearing you rant about how Bran being king makes no sense made me laugh 😂 I'm not sure why D&D thought this was a good ending
Bran: I am not lord STARK, I can't be lord of anything
Also Bran: Lord of six Kingdom, King Bran, Protector Of The Realm, King of Kings Landing, Three Eyed Raven and Lord of all and everything.😂
Sofie. It has been a joy following you on this journey. Where we goin next?
I just found your channel recently so I'm pretty late to this but I watched the whole playlist of GoT and you have some of my favorite reactions ever. Also compared to many others I have seen and even myself you're so observant and picked up on so many things others miss.
Well let's see if you have anything less soul wrenching to offer.. :)
I'm still of the mind that Gendry was the most logical choice. His claim rests on his father's name, and Robert's claim rested on the Baratheon ties to the Targaryen. Daenerys basicaly validated those claims when she recognised him as rightful, which means figures like Yara or Grey Worm would have had to agree. He's also got enough good will with Aria to convince her to shoulder him in that regard towards her sister, and Sansa in turn can get the Vale and Riverlands on board.
To cement all that, his political weakness would actualy be a good thing at first, because most would see him as having limited power and an opening for furthering their own positions (if you have a look at history, half the Popes were selected as placeholders to break stalemates in the politics among Roman patrician families. It's far from unheard of).
Did you notice the tuft of grass on the ground when Non and Tormund passed the barrier? Guess it won't be so cold in the true North anymore 😅
11:13 ,I love this face of Sofie 😄
"I know a killer when I see one" Oh Gods... it's coming back... I'm about to stroke again
I really enjoyed watching this show with you sweetie. Honestly I’ve come to appreciate the last season as the years have gone on. I sincerely hope we get a Jon Snow sequel. His legacy can’t have been for nothing. I look forward to watching more shows with you.
His legacy lies in his deeds and honor, not whose vagina he came out of.
Thanks for sharing your reaction to GOT! The writers didn’t exactly stick the landing but it’s still the greatest series of the 2010’s in my humble opinion. See you for HOTD! Cheers!
I appreciate these actors performing while knowing the script was horrible.
Thanks!
Same reaction when Tyrion, TYRION says who has better story than Bran the Broken. I was like huh... and then I thought since he doesn't want to be anything he will just tell no and propose someone else as a king or queen. But then he said magical words. Wow.
Literally the fing Night watch existed to keep kingdom safe from Wildlings and Night King. Since none are a threat what in the world is it still doing existing? What do they do up there? Ride on sledges?
What is west of westeros? You're telling me there were no expeditions west of the Kingdom from King's Landing? Never? No one was curious enough?
The only things about S8 that made me happy were the sound tracks and the visuals.
Thank you SoFie for so much fun and emotion in sharing your journey therse last few months. What a journey! Yes, we are now differewnt people to those we were before. I feel better for it and hope you do too.
The "this doesn't make sense" started quite a few seasons ago
"Who have a better story than Bran?"...."Everyone else!!!" ...That's was everyone's sentiment one this finale.
Now we watch some HotD!!! I can’t wait for you to meet Daemon!
Do some of the “InDeepGeek” videos if you’re really interested in the world. He does some amazing in-depth analysis. And you’ll learn fun tips like ‘when in doubt blame BloodRaven”!
2:20 Tyrion just was making sure that Cersei has passed away
And now my watch is ended ...
Arya "Queen of the Seas" Thank you Sofie for reliving this show with me for a 2nd time with all new perspectives and insight. Look forward to more of your analysis of other shows. Your skills need to be honored !!
When Tyrion said Bran the Broken and your reaction was "Huh?!" 😧 ... I felt that in the depths of my being and it tickled me! 😅😂🤣
Here are some true facts about season 8:
1. HBO was ready to do GoT for 10 seasons or at least have a full-length 8th season with at least 12 episodes
2. Dumb and Dumber didn't want to go through with more episodes because they were offered to write a new Star Wars (they got fired later on and replaced)
3. There was no lack of budget for HBO's hit series
4. Dumb and Dumber are simply terrible writers who could only write scripts based on already written stories (note how the quality dropped after book material ended)
