Imagine this line in the actual episode. Now Imagine what this would mean for the hokey haminess level of the episode. See, if D&D just put away their pretensions and went full James Bond/Resident Evil 4/Mission Impossible with this episode, this episode could have been a literal fountain of memes. They sure as fuck wanted an action-spectacle episode, so they shouldn't have weighed the dialog down with the...tone, *everything* about the previous seasons.
@@nillynush4899 ; i think youre confused on how sex and female anatomy work... and I really hope that's from a lack of experience as opposed to lived experience otherwise that's very concerning...
Those women in the brothels had the biggest most experienced cox in them..Im sure they couldnt care about his use of his cok but instead they gave the money back because they gor him to lickk them out, which is something they dont get men doing in brothels. He was a virgin so they took advantage of his naivety and they all got the Podrick Mouth action. And He probably didnt even bang any of them so they gave the money back.
My theory is that the entire HBO series is ASOIAF as retold by Bronn while drinking in a tavern. Explains his extremely expanded role, his overachieving in regards to titles and positions (didnt actually happen, he is just exaggerating being master of coin, the reach, etc.) and the gaps in logic for things that didn't involve him. Random person: "How did they get a white to show the queen?" Bronn: "OH, ehhh, well ya see they killed the main one and all the others dropped dead too, except for one that the uhh, lord of light, ya ya, the lord of Light kept alive so they could show him to the queen." Person: "Also, if you're lord of the reach, why are you hear? And why is so and so living in your castle doing your job" Bronn: "Well I decided I didn't want it. Took too much time."
I always thought Bran warging into ravens and/or other animals guiding and helping Jon beyond the wall would have been a two-fold good idea. It would help the logic of them actually surviving and explain what he was doing while Sansa and Arya were in "conflict".

@@gabrieldnchf2822 this is true, but damn, if producers say "this random epic action detail is too expensive," why would you try to force it in over and over until the producers eventually give in at the LAST LEG of your race?
Can we just talk about the fact that when Dany watches Viserion die, who is her CHILD, she just looks... bored? And then she only tears later up because some dude she meet last week almost died and has some cool scars. Like??? What happened to her being the “Mother of Dragons,” or having any sentimental attachment whatsoever to her so-called children???? Christ what have they done to the best character’s sister
Can't even begin to express how pissed I am by her lack of concern over essentially her children dying in her pursuit for the throne. I have four dobies and if even one died because of my stupidity, I would be furious at myself and heartbroken. However I definitely wouldn't kill innocent chihuahua puppies. That just doesn't make sense.
She never liked them that much in the show, remember when she looked two of the up because drogon killed one child ? They didnt do anything,but she still looked them up.
@@lokidoki525 she locked them because, even if they were her children, she was not stupid and understood they were wild animals that could hurt other human beings. As a queen, she can't be oblivious to the pain and danger her dragons may pose to her subjects. The Targaryens of old probably had training methods to keep their dragons in check, but Dany did not know of any. She did what she thought was best for the common people, with the little information she had about her dragons, and in spite of her own feelings. She only locked Rhaegar and Viserion because Drogon was unreachable, but at that point she really cared about them. She actually cries when she has to lock them up. It's after she returns to Meereen that suddenly R and V are like rented napalm drones and only Drogon matters.
I love in the scene where Arya is criticizing Sansa for doing the Lannisters' bidding, she acts like she didn't spend an entire season serving Tywin Lannister! And then when she had 3 free kills she still didn't give Jaqen Tywin's, Joffrey's, or Cersei's names!!!
maybe the first time i've seen anyone on youtube mention gendry's rape the way you did and how its made a joke on the show and i applaud you for that. i truly cannot stand this scene, they way they make fun of him when he's trying to explain how he felt is disgusting, but ofc i shouldnt have been that surprised we couldnt expect much from these showrunners
@@tequilawhiskey then why bring it up in the first place? heck why even have the rape scene in the first place? it's not in the books and as far as we know placing leeches on edric storm was not at all the same as gendrys rape scene
D&D have real frat humour, making male characters their mouthpiece especially Tyrion. "You have no cock", "you're a virgin", "what's she like down there", "I have balls, you don't", and these guys making fun of Gendry for not liking forced nudity.
For almost 1.5 years I have held the strong opinion that "The Long Night" would go down as the worst, stupidest, most painful episode of Game of Thrones. It's a masterpeice in stupid
The Winterfell subplot was the worst! The Machiavellian Littlefinger who came from nothing and schemed his way to the top, went down like a punk. What drives me crazy is people acting like Sansa outsmarted Littlefinger, when in reality she didn't have to figure anything out. She was just handed all the answers by Bran.
@@janhavi1977 littlefinger was my favourite character in the show. Scheming, conniving, cunning person from nowhere who pulled all the strings without anyone knowing. And then he just sits around and dies like an absolutely clueless idiot. His death was really a metaphor for how they killed off everything smart in the show.
I still can't believe the number of people who defended it at the time. It was easily the worst thing I had ever watched in my life and most people I knew were saying it was awesome
I mean if you really think about it this was foreshadowed because Jon has friends and also taht one scene where the brotherhood finds Aryan and Hot pie and Genders (Arya and her friends), was also foreshadowing, because the brotherhood are avid followers of Rhollor. They want to find Arya and her FRIENDS even though they should really be looking for the ptwp, but that is just a subversion of your expectations to goad everyone into arguing about the ptwp instead of seeing the subtler message that Friendship was the one thing the followers of the LoL are actually looking for (Arya and friends). -Dave and Dan at some point.
I hear people genuinely defend the show by saying. 'Just suspend your disbelief! You're watching a show about dragons, it's not trying to be realistic!' But that's not why GoT is popular. The way it subverted expectations by not only its realism despite the genre, but lack of plot armour, like in the real world, was amazing. I miss that.
This argument baffles me, honestly. A show doesn't have to be realistic, true, but it has to respect its own rules, it's about coherence. If the show establishes that pigs fly, it's okay, we can accept it but if suddenly, they don't anymore, it doesn't make sense. Saying that a fantasy show doesn't need narrative coherence because dRAgOnS shows a lack of knowledge in terms of storytelling. It's not even about what the show is popular for. Of course you miss these things, it's basically what the show promised you and ignored in the latter seasons.
I hate the argument that because fantasy elements exist, nothing needs to make sense. I guess we can’t praise any movie for good storytelling because none of them are 1:1 with reality, and making sense is just them doing extra unneeded filler.
My God I just realized that the swords Ned hears are not just his Rebellion PTSD kicking in. Ned hears the swords because he sees Lyanna in Arya and is reminded that the entire Rebellion happened because Lyanna's tomboyishnes lead her to run away with Rheagar. When Ned sees Arya training he is asking himself if he just laid the foundation for a new war.
Woah, did you see that knife move by Arya at 26:17? This is the writers letting us know she is actually Karl Tanner. As a sworn member of the Night's Watch, it is only natural (s)he is the one to destroy Rhaegar. Fantastic writing and foreshadowing by D&D!
Every time Glidus makes a joke about Gendry being the fastest my life expectancy increases by 200%. Haven't laughed this hard since Emilia Clarke called season 8 "the best season ever" in a live interview.
They have access to giant flying reptiles apparently capable of crossing continents in an hour, reptiles that spend most of the day doing nothing but fly around dragon stone. Jon could have gone and gotten his corpse and been back in time to simp to his Aunt.
The bad season 8 episodes were crashing the landing and so produced more devastation. But this was D&D doing a barrel roll for the lolz on the way down. Totally pointless.
Nothing beats the long night, the bells and the iron throne. This episode was at the worst awful writing. Those 3 episodes on the other hand make every character and story arc in the show pointless. This episode was contrived as hell but at least it led to the stakes of the white walker attack being raised. Not defending it or anything, it’s still garbage
15:45 Jon: Run back, you have to tell daenerys! Gendry: But I cant make it in time! theres no way I can move fast enough... "bop" Jon: did he just remember he could do that?
Seriously: DBZA and YGOTAS references are always great and Glidus is generous in providing them to us. I'm assuming that him dropping the Rhaegar/NK joke was a reference to YGOTAS.
Editing it a bit just because: Gendry: “But I can’t make it in time! There’s no way I could move fast enough to get there, bring her here, and... *{POP}”* Jon: “Is he just suddenly able to do that?” The Hound: “The screenwriters are idiots.”
Ned Still hoped and intended for Arya to be a great Lady. He gave her a controlled environment to learn swordplay hoping this would give her an outlet for her tomboyish desires. It was an indulgence. Ned surely still hoped Arya would come to accept her role as she grew older. At best he would have allowed Arya to remain unmarried under his care, or after that, Robb's. That was really as far as he could have gone in terms of not forcing her into a role she didn't want. I know the ladies of Bear Island fight, but it's very unusual. There's no way Ned would have allowed her to go off on her own with a sword. Ned didn't necessarily think the rules were wrong, but his personal experiences made it harder for him to ignore Area's feelings.
I would also argue that his personal experiences also make him more conflicted by allowing Arya to train with Syrio. Arya clearly resembles Lyanna to him, and he doesn't know whether his actions have made it more or less likely that she'll end up the same way.
The women of Bear Island fight by necessity. As the She-Bear grimly says to Asha when she compliments the warrior women of Bear Island: "We are what you made us"
@@sealy_99 Yep. Actually Arya resembles Lyanna to everyone who remembers Lyanna, but Ned presumably noticed the resemblance most. And as you say that presumably gave him cause for concern.
@@alanpennie8013 Yup. And if I remember correctly in the books the timeline was a bit different because Ned only let her begin training after he learned something about the Lannisters or the conspiracy to kill Jon Arryn.. This implies that her learning how to defend herself was at least a factor if not the main reason why he allowed it in the first place whereas in the show it's more of him indulging her.
Arya and Sansa WERE NOT pretending all season to trick LF. Bran intervened and told them the truth. Their argument was real and their entire plot was trash.
Uh, no? We don't know that for sure. The show never clarifies how they figured it out or when. When I watched it with my dad, he thought the implication was that they'd been faking it, at least the final time they fight before the "trial" of Littlefinger. And yeah, nothing in the show contradicts that interpretation.
Season 2 Jon: Is it possible to survive out here on your own? Jeor: Possible for the Halfhand (Also takes days to trek back to the wall, they have to stop at Craster's) *Gendry, who's never seen snow before or even been north, runs all the way back to the wall in record breaking time*
"So, this scene was basically just two idiots trying to figure out which one is the bigger idiot. The results were inconclusive." Wait, I'm confused. Were you talking about Dany and Tyrion? Or Dave and Dan?
It took me three or four tries to pause right on 26:53 but it was worth it. “Welcome to the thirteen frames of paradise. In this brief period, there are no barriers between our world and the parallel (misspelt ;)) dimension where Benioff and Weiss passed the helm of this show to someone who actually still had passion for the project and no contempt for their audience. Be still in the bliss of his fleeting realm” Best freeze frame caption yet.
Not gonna lie, you had me chuckling out loud a few times. What a farce this show has become. I haven't rewatched any GOT after the finale. Don't see that happening anything soon. It's too tragic.
It's like regularly dining at a really good restaurant for years and then suddenly the food and service go to shit. It manages to coast on its reputation for a while until the regulars have noticed the permanent decline and stop going.
Your stuff is always hilarious, but still super valid criticism. I’ve gotten so much more enjoyment watching people rip the shit out of the end of this show than the show itself
Not only is that one zombie supremely lucky to be the only one not disintegrating, it also learns fear in that instant. Instead of just mindlessly attacking whoever is in front of it, it freezes and starts acting panicky. 10/10 excellent writing. edit: Oh, yeah, I forgot to add, that zombie then also conveniently forgets fear again in King's Landing when it just charges at Cersei even though she's surrounded by a bunch of soldiers and THE FUCKING MOUNTAIN.

Glidus, you're wrong. The chains appeared in the dead's possession because Qyburn teleported them there. He needed the Night King to buy himself more time for his master plan to create a vortex that will collapse the plot of G.O.T in on itself.
The chains are Qyburn's old maester chain, having been increased dramatically in size by...uh...oh! That's how he's been shrinking Westeros! He's putting the extra landmass into the chains!
D&D meant to have a meaningful message about rape victims, how they’re perceived by others, and how they survive beyond their trauma... but then they kinda forgot.
Doesnt matter coz gendry didnt get raped,people are retarded nowadays,every single thing is rape apparently. Gendry was clearly consenting to the sex,he was only against what happened afterwards which was torture. Not rape. There are dictionaries online,there are hard copies as well. Please pick one up,go to the letter r and check out the meaning.
This episode is the one that crushed my soul - when it became clear to me the show was never coming back, but I still think it looks incredible when Drogon unleashes on the horde
Missed nitpicks: 1. Why didn't they just put a corpse in a box, place it north of the wall and wait for it to re-animate? 2. Why didn't Rhaegar shoot Drogon first, the bigger stationary target who carried all the important people?
The answer to 2 is obvious. He'd been wanting to take down his little bro for ages. The little snot weasel. Plus Rhaegar killing his sis, and his son, would mean that Bran wouldn't hunt down the "they are related" story to overlay over their sexytimes, and so wouldn't become the holder of all stories for the Night King to easily erase them!
This just reminded me that I am still paying for HBO. . . . *Cancelled*. . . . Thank you for your suffering of rewatching these wonderful-story building-character driven episodes.
Worst thing about this show is to realize that the entirety of season 7 and half of season 8 were used only to nerf Dany. She lost the Reach, Dorne, 2 dragons and "half" of all her armies. And in the end it was all pointless cause she ended the war in 2 minutes with only one dragon. What a waste.
Every so often I like to revisit the shitshow to ensure I wasn’t wrong about my hatred for it and to bathe in my rage. Your videos satisfy both of these needs. Thank you.
It’s almost like they could have just had a WW battle at Eastwatch or something and had the fact they put a wight in a box to show Cersei happen offscreen in the aftermath so that when it pops out of the box for that jumpscare we’re actually surprised. Same result except the characters would have gone north for a sane reason instead of expressly going beyond the wall to shove a zombie in a burlap sack like this is a dungeons and dragons campaign where the DM lost control of his crackhead players years ago and is now on suicide watch.
I know how demoralizing the last two seasons of GoT were and that all of the fanfiction gets praise for making up for it but these rant videos are just as priceless. I will never tire of this and The Dragon and The Wolf video. It’s just so so good, several years later. Thank you for the hard work and creativity.
"I've never seen snow before." As an Australian, I would like to point out that walking on snow for the first time (after living for a long time having never seeing it) is really hard. Let alone running a fucking marathon in it. Gendry would have struggled to outrun a small wildling child to the Wall.
You know I come back to your GOT Pisstakes a lot they make me laugh and are a brilliant distraction and the editing is so damn good so yeah just wanna say these have been a life source and I appreciate the monumental effort put into them
Oh man, seeing this while sitting on the toilet just made my long weekend. I don’t know how you don’t have more subs man. As soon as I saw one of your vids I was hooked.

Please don’t stop with the late season piss takes, there’s so much content from thrones and even song and I know whatever you put out will be pure gold!
I'm actually re-reading the books. And even if I very, very, sincerely love the books, I found at least 4 historical big mistakes in book one. 1-Ned is shocked because Edmure send his troops to protect smallfolks instead of protect Riverrrun. Wait ? Isn't it the big point of feudal societies ? Peasants feeds the lords and lords PROTECT the peasants ? 2-Ned is shocked because Joffrey, after Robert's death, is proclamed king. Wait ? Isn't it the principle of monarchy ? The king is dead, long live the king ? 3-I forgot it, sorry. 4-First appearance of King Joffrey (long may he reign, at least, unlike stupid grandpa Tywin, HE is aware about dragons), and the herald call him "Joffrey of house Baratheon AND OF HOUSE LANNISTER. Wh...what ? WHAT ? Would is possible son would be "Bill, first of his name, of house Baratheon, House Lannister, House Tyrrell and House Dude ????
@@KartovOndulevitch So I think those three points are not mistakes but more things that you should be picking up (like you did) that are anomalies which signify something important is happening or show something wrong with society at large. Edmure is doing the right thing by protecting his smallfolk. He's a good dude. In ACOK I think, he brings "[his] people" who need his protection into the castle at Riverrun. Basically, he is the only feudal lord upholding his responsibility. And yet Ned and later Catelyn who thinks he has a soft heart and head for doing this and not entirely incorrect. Edmure's actions in AGOT allow his spread out forces to be destroyed piecemeal by the invading armies of Tywin and Jaime, and Edmure even gets captured leading a sortie to defend Riverrun. Catelyn thinks that sheltering the smallfolk will mean more mouths to feed in a siege, which is true. Basically, these scenarios show the incompatibility of the high lords who play the game of thrones being the ones who's duty it is to protect their smallfolk, and Ned and Catelyn, two characters framed as being on the good side, show the failings of the nobility, even though they are nowhere near the likes of a Tywin, Aerys, or even Robert. The small council had been in session upon the moment of Robert's death to deal with his will. Joffrey ordered the small council to conclude their business and swear fealty to him at once. Yes, Ned is naive and is planning to invite Stannis to take the throne as well, but that Joffrey and Cersei made their move to fill the power vacuum. Ned is shocked because Joffrey has been crowned immediately in what is basically a power grab by the Lannisters. They don't wait to hear Robert's will naming Ned as Protector of the Realm, and indeed when they do, Cersei rips it up. Yes the old king is dead, so long live the new king, but there are always additional factors to attend to when the heir is underage and will need a regent. Joffrey being heralded as from both House Baratheon and Lannister is once again an irregularity that signifies the power grab the Lannisters made. Joffrey is king, but the Lannisters are ruling. No one remaining from the Baratheon-Stark-Tully-Arryn alliance is at court, on the small council, and indeed three of those families are at war with the Lannisters. The Lannisters have subsumed control of the capital, passed off a Lannister bastard as the legitimate king and started a war in the Riverlands, breaking the previous king's peace. They also allowed the previous hand to die, have arrested the current one and contributed to Robert's death while hunting. So I guess, the Tyrells could try to add their name to the royal family for the child of Margaery, but that's not really what's important, which is that the Lannisters did a coup d'etat.
@@KartovOndulevitch Ned was shocked because it was counter to Robert's will which stated his heir would be appointed a regent until he comes of age. Joffrey was a child at the time (12 or 13 IIRC), so it's unusual that he was made sole ruler of the kingdom especially considering the previous king ordered that was not to be done. Joffrey being of "House Baratheon and Lannister" - it was supposed to be strange. I think another character brought up Joffrey's banner (both lion and stag) in the early chapters at Winterfell as being unusual. We're meant to see it as a sign of the Lannister's growing power and the way their influence has spread across the court. They consider their house as equal to the king's.
On the one hand, I'm used to how good your pisstakes are. On the other hand, somehow, I'm always surprised anew as to HOW GOOD your pisstakes are. You're super funny, thoughtful and clever and your videos are each an absolute treat to watch.
Holy crap I was *just* watching all your previous pisstakes (which are hilarious, by the way), and got this notification! The episode I was looking forward to the most! Can't wait to watch this, this is going to be epic!
What’s funny to me is that this whole nonsense could have been avoided if any of them had a lick of sense of the characters from the books. In Adwd Jon tries to use some dead wildling corpses and lock them in the ice cells at the Wall to see if they would rise as wights. The fact that none of them thought of anything remotely close to that is just ridiculously stupid. Plot contrivance it may be, but god at what cost?
also, Bran-o-vision is my favorite westerosi network and I count on them to give me the straight news about stuff going in mainly the north and explaining the time gaps and jetpack statuses. Keeps talking about how he can't be lord of Winterfell though
I hate how Arya lies through her teeth to make herself sound brave and badass. She fucking worked for Tywin in Harrenhal, "would have let them kill me rather than betray my family". So that's a lie. Calling Sansa stupid when she's one of the dummest people in Westeros, and that "rules were wrong" monologue just kill me.
Let's also take a moment to reflect on how sunny and, dare I say, pleasant the environment looks on their way to find a Wight. When they leave the Wall last episode, it looks so ominous and foreboding as the gate opens. I thought they said that Winter was here at the end of Season 6. I recall Ser Alliser talking about his ranging north of the Wall in Winter. Couldn't take your gloves off or you would get frost bite. Horses dying. Cannibalism. Just fortunate that Benjen's horse endured it. Wonder if it, too, was blessed by the Children. Not even the slightest attempt by the Hound to eat Thoros. I'm surprised given all those accounts of humans tasting like chicken.
Thoros' death in the show is so stupid. Like, book thoros makes sense. He's kind of a loose canon, they even reference in the show how we was one of the few people storming the breach on Pike. But in the show he's not nearly as drunk and brash as he should be. The show makes him look like someone who would hang back and watch the fighting, waiting for an opening. He shouldn't be attacking the bear.
They took our drunk pink priest and made him a fucking stoner. That said, Thoros has one of my favorite arcs of any of the tertiary characters in the books. He starts out one of the youngest sons of a Myrish merchant family chock-a-block with sons so for lack of any other real prospects he joins the church of Rholly, which is in itself interesting because we normally see ex-slaves orbiting around the church. He travels to Westeros to try and convert the pyromaniac king Aerys (and I think the subtext is that they sent him on a fool’s errand in the first place) - not only does he fail but he loses his faith. He instead replaces his faith with fighting and carousing and becomes slovenly and drunk, yet still clings to the appearance of Rh’llor as an identity thing, using cheap parlor tricks to play the part of the “carousing red priest”. He ingratiated himself with the new king and becomes quasi-legendary during the Greyjoy rebellion. Then, after magic comes back and he’s sent off into an ambush, he has a “come to Rh’llor” moment and has his faith reaffirmed. Much like Beric, Thoros gains new life and new zeal and believes in his faith and in his mission, his fat melting away as he fights his guerrilla war. Most authors would end a tertiary character’s arc right there but GRRM takes it further. (Minor spoilers for those who still care at this point) - Thoros still has his faith, but when we see him next Beric is dead and used his gift of life against Thoros’ wishes, reanimating the revenant of Lady Stoneheart. As something of an XO to the new leader, the entire brotherhood takes a darker turn and Thoros turns with it, delivering one of the best lines in the entire series “Some knights are dark and full of terrors, m’lady. War makes monsters of us all.”
21:10 "How have they not tried walking forward yet? It's been 3 weeks I've just decided!" I'm spilled my goddamn food laughing!!

My theory is that the entire HBO series is ASOIAF as retold by Bronn while drinking in a tavern.
Explains his extremely expanded role, his overachieving in regards to titles and positions (didnt actually happen, he is just exaggerating being master of coin, the reach, etc.) and the gaps in logic for things that didn't involve him.
Random person: "How did they get a white to show the queen?"
Bronn: "OH, ehhh, well ya see they killed the main one and all the others dropped dead too, except for one that the uhh, lord of light, ya ya, the lord of Light kept alive so they could show him to the queen."
Person: "Also, if you're lord of the reach, why are you hear? And why is so and so living in your castle doing your job"
Bronn: "Well I decided I didn't want it. Took too much time."
"Bronn, *titles, titles*..."
That's the best GoT theory I've ever heard
This is now canon to me
That would also explain why the story gets worse as it goes on because Bronn gets gradually more drunk.
that makes a lot of sense.....i totally can get behind that theory....
I always thought Bran warging into ravens and/or other animals guiding and helping Jon beyond the wall would have been a two-fold good idea. It would help the logic of them actually surviving and explain what he was doing while Sansa and Arya were in "conflict".

hmmmm interesting idea...
Can we just talk about the fact that when Dany watches Viserion die, who is her CHILD, she just looks... bored? And then she only tears later up because some dude she meet last week almost died and has some cool scars. Like??? What happened to her being the “Mother of Dragons,” or having any sentimental attachment whatsoever to her so-called children???? Christ what have they done to the best character’s sister
Can't even begin to express how pissed I am by her lack of concern over essentially her children dying in her pursuit for the throne. I have four dobies and if even one died because of my stupidity, I would be furious at myself and heartbroken.
However I definitely wouldn't kill innocent chihuahua puppies. That just doesn't make sense.

She never liked them that much in the show, remember when she looked two of the up because drogon killed one child ? They didnt do anything,but she still looked them up.
@@lokidoki525 she locked them because, even if they were her children, she was not stupid and understood they were wild animals that could hurt other human beings. As a queen, she can't be oblivious to the pain and danger her dragons may pose to her subjects. The Targaryens of old probably had training methods to keep their dragons in check, but Dany did not know of any. She did what she thought was best for the common people, with the little information she had about her dragons, and in spite of her own feelings.
She only locked Rhaegar and Viserion because Drogon was unreachable, but at that point she really cared about them. She actually cries when she has to lock them up. It's after she returns to Meereen that suddenly R and V are like rented napalm drones and only Drogon matters.
I love in the scene where Arya is criticizing Sansa for doing the Lannisters' bidding, she acts like she didn't spend an entire season serving Tywin Lannister! And then when she had 3 free kills she still didn't give Jaqen Tywin's, Joffrey's, or Cersei's names!!!

Rape Culture. Male victims of rape have been the butts of jokes forever.
To be fair, none of these characters would really care, and given the setting it makes sense.
@@tequilawhiskey then why bring it up in the first place? heck why even have the rape scene in the first place? it's not in the books and as far as we know placing leeches on edric storm was not at all the same as gendrys rape scene
@@jman528 she offers to burn him at the stake for his kings blood, wich is in a way worse then rape
D&D have real frat humour, making male characters their mouthpiece especially Tyrion. "You have no cock", "you're a virgin", "what's she like down there", "I have balls, you don't", and these guys making fun of Gendry for not liking forced nudity.
For almost 1.5 years I have held the strong opinion that "The Long Night" would go down as the worst, stupidest, most painful episode of Game of Thrones. It's a masterpeice in stupid
Maybe over a year is more accurate 😊
The Winterfell subplot was the worst! The Machiavellian Littlefinger who came from nothing and schemed his way to the top, went down like a punk. What drives me crazy is people acting like Sansa outsmarted Littlefinger, when in reality she didn't have to figure anything out. She was just handed all the answers by Bran.
@@janhavi1977 littlefinger was my favourite character in the show. Scheming, conniving, cunning person from nowhere who pulled all the strings without anyone knowing. And then he just sits around and dies like an absolutely clueless idiot.
His death was really a metaphor for how they killed off everything smart in the show.
I still can't believe the number of people who defended it at the time. It was easily the worst thing I had ever watched in my life and most people I knew were saying it was awesome

I mean if you really think about it this was foreshadowed because Jon has friends and also taht one scene where the brotherhood finds Aryan and Hot pie and Genders (Arya and her friends), was also foreshadowing, because the brotherhood are avid followers of Rhollor. They want to find Arya and her FRIENDS even though they should really be looking for the ptwp, but that is just a subversion of your expectations to goad everyone into arguing about the ptwp instead of seeing the subtler message that Friendship was the one thing the followers of the LoL are actually looking for (Arya and friends).

It's moon boy and his dick is light bringer.
I hear people genuinely defend the show by saying.
'Just suspend your disbelief! You're watching a show about dragons, it's not trying to be realistic!'
But that's not why GoT is popular. The way it subverted expectations by not only its realism despite the genre, but lack of plot armour, like in the real world, was amazing. I miss that.
This argument baffles me, honestly. A show doesn't have to be realistic, true, but it has to respect its own rules, it's about coherence. If the show establishes that pigs fly, it's okay, we can accept it but if suddenly, they don't anymore, it doesn't make sense. Saying that a fantasy show doesn't need narrative coherence because dRAgOnS shows a lack of knowledge in terms of storytelling. It's not even about what the show is popular for. Of course you miss these things, it's basically what the show promised you and ignored in the latter seasons.
S8 subverted my expectations
I hate the argument that because fantasy elements exist, nothing needs to make sense. I guess we can’t praise any movie for good storytelling because none of them are 1:1 with reality, and making sense is just them doing extra unneeded filler.
@@christiancinnabars1402 agreed
Yeah, i don't understand those people. What did they like seasons 1-4 for, if they want mindless entertainment?
My God I just realized that the swords Ned hears are not just his Rebellion PTSD kicking in.
Ned hears the swords because he sees Lyanna in Arya and is reminded that the entire Rebellion happened because Lyanna's tomboyishnes lead her to run away with Rheagar.
When Ned sees Arya training he is asking himself if he just laid the foundation for a new war.
Shhh! You'll only encourage the Arya/Aegon crowds from the book!
Pretty cool concept! Might not be the case but the parallels are definitely there.

It's PTSD bro
Well we can ask Ned : Arya mad?
Woah, did you see that knife move by Arya at 26:17? This is the writers letting us know she is actually Karl Tanner. As a sworn member of the Night's Watch, it is only natural (s)he is the one to destroy Rhaegar. Fantastic writing and foreshadowing by D&D!

In that episode they kind of forgot about the existence of horses.
They have access to giant flying reptiles apparently capable of crossing continents in an hour, reptiles that spend most of the day doing nothing but fly around dragon stone. Jon could have gone and gotten his corpse and been back in time to simp to his Aunt.

The bad season 8 episodes were crashing the landing and so produced more devastation. But this was D&D doing a barrel roll for the lolz on the way down. Totally pointless.
Maybe fourth or fifth worst....season 8 has so many contenders.
Nothing beats the long night, the bells and the iron throne. This episode was at the worst awful writing. Those 3 episodes on the other hand make every character and story arc in the show pointless. This episode was contrived as hell but at least it led to the stakes of the white walker attack being raised. Not defending it or anything, it’s still garbage

@@wafflingmean4477 well Dothraki respawn...

Ned Still hoped and intended for Arya to be a great Lady. He gave her a controlled environment to learn swordplay hoping this would give her an outlet for her tomboyish desires. It was an indulgence. Ned surely still hoped Arya would come to accept her role as she grew older. At best he would have allowed Arya to remain unmarried under his care, or after that, Robb's. That was really as far as he could have gone in terms of not forcing her into a role she didn't want. I know the ladies of Bear Island fight, but it's very unusual. There's no way Ned would have allowed her to go off on her own with a sword. Ned didn't necessarily think the rules were wrong, but his personal experiences made it harder for him to ignore Area's feelings.
I would also argue that his personal experiences also make him more conflicted by allowing Arya to train with Syrio. Arya clearly resembles Lyanna to him, and he doesn't know whether his actions have made it more or less likely that she'll end up the same way.
The women of Bear Island fight by necessity. As the She-Bear grimly says to Asha when she compliments the warrior women of Bear Island: "We are what you made us"
@@sealy_99
Yep.
Actually Arya resembles Lyanna to everyone who remembers Lyanna, but Ned presumably noticed the resemblance most.
And as you say that presumably gave him cause for concern.
@@alanpennie8013 Yup. And if I remember correctly in the books the timeline was a bit different because Ned only let her begin training after he learned something about the Lannisters or the conspiracy to kill Jon Arryn.. This implies that her learning how to defend herself was at least a factor if not the main reason why he allowed it in the first place whereas in the show it's more of him indulging her.
Arya and Sansa WERE NOT pretending all season to trick LF. Bran intervened and told them the truth. Their argument was real and their entire plot was trash.
Wdym sansa is the smartest person on the show!!!!
Uh, no? We don't know that for sure. The show never clarifies how they figured it out or when. When I watched it with my dad, he thought the implication was that they'd been faking it, at least the final time they fight before the "trial" of Littlefinger. And yeah, nothing in the show contradicts that interpretation.

D&D meant to have a meaningful message about rape victims, how they’re perceived by others, and how they survive beyond their trauma... but then they kinda forgot.
Doesnt matter coz gendry didnt get raped,people are retarded nowadays,every single thing is rape apparently. Gendry was clearly consenting to the sex,he was only against what happened afterwards which was torture. Not rape. There are dictionaries online,there are hard copies as well. Please pick one up,go to the letter r and check out the meaning.
This episode is the one that crushed my soul - when it became clear to me the show was never coming back, but I still think it looks incredible when Drogon unleashes on the horde
Missed nitpicks:
1. Why didn't they just put a corpse in a box, place it north of the wall and wait for it to re-animate?
2. Why didn't Rhaegar shoot Drogon first, the bigger stationary target who carried all the important people?
The answer to 2 is obvious. He'd been wanting to take down his little bro for ages. The little snot weasel.
Plus Rhaegar killing his sis, and his son, would mean that Bran wouldn't hunt down the "they are related" story to overlay over their sexytimes, and so wouldn't become the holder of all stories for the Night King to easily erase them!
Not to mention that would then force the other two dragons to land and he could have killed all three.

Worst thing about this show is to realize that the entirety of season 7 and half of season 8 were used only to nerf Dany. She lost the Reach, Dorne, 2 dragons and "half" of all her armies. And in the end it was all pointless cause she ended the war in 2 minutes with only one dragon. What a waste.
This episode broke me. There was this awkward atmosphere like they broke the 4th wall or something. It felt like the actors knew that we know.
Every so often I like to revisit the shitshow to ensure I wasn’t wrong about my hatred for it and to bathe in my rage. Your videos satisfy both of these needs. Thank you.

I'm actually re-reading the books. And even if I very, very, sincerely love the books, I found at least 4 historical big mistakes in book one. 1-Ned is shocked because Edmure send his troops to protect smallfolks instead of protect Riverrrun. Wait ? Isn't it the big point of feudal societies ? Peasants feeds the lords and lords PROTECT the peasants ? 2-Ned is shocked because Joffrey, after Robert's death, is proclamed king. Wait ? Isn't it the principle of monarchy ? The king is dead, long live the king ? 3-I forgot it, sorry. 4-First appearance of King Joffrey (long may he reign, at least, unlike stupid grandpa Tywin, HE is aware about dragons), and the herald call him "Joffrey of house Baratheon AND OF HOUSE LANNISTER. Wh...what ? WHAT ? Would is possible son would be "Bill, first of his name, of house Baratheon, House Lannister, House Tyrrell and House Dude ????
@@KartovOndulevitch So I think those three points are not mistakes but more things that you should be picking up (like you did) that are anomalies which signify something important is happening or show something wrong with society at large.
Edmure is doing the right thing by protecting his smallfolk. He's a good dude. In ACOK I think, he brings "[his] people" who need his protection into the castle at Riverrun. Basically, he is the only feudal lord upholding his responsibility. And yet Ned and later Catelyn who thinks he has a soft heart and head for doing this and not entirely incorrect. Edmure's actions in AGOT allow his spread out forces to be destroyed piecemeal by the invading armies of Tywin and Jaime, and Edmure even gets captured leading a sortie to defend Riverrun. Catelyn thinks that sheltering the smallfolk will mean more mouths to feed in a siege, which is true. Basically, these scenarios show the incompatibility of the high lords who play the game of thrones being the ones who's duty it is to protect their smallfolk, and Ned and Catelyn, two characters framed as being on the good side, show the failings of the nobility, even though they are nowhere near the likes of a Tywin, Aerys, or even Robert.
The small council had been in session upon the moment of Robert's death to deal with his will. Joffrey ordered the small council to conclude their business and swear fealty to him at once. Yes, Ned is naive and is planning to invite Stannis to take the throne as well, but that Joffrey and Cersei made their move to fill the power vacuum. Ned is shocked because Joffrey has been crowned immediately in what is basically a power grab by the Lannisters. They don't wait to hear Robert's will naming Ned as Protector of the Realm, and indeed when they do, Cersei rips it up. Yes the old king is dead, so long live the new king, but there are always additional factors to attend to when the heir is underage and will need a regent.
Joffrey being heralded as from both House Baratheon and Lannister is once again an irregularity that signifies the power grab the Lannisters made. Joffrey is king, but the Lannisters are ruling. No one remaining from the Baratheon-Stark-Tully-Arryn alliance is at court, on the small council, and indeed three of those families are at war with the Lannisters. The Lannisters have subsumed control of the capital, passed off a Lannister bastard as the legitimate king and started a war in the Riverlands, breaking the previous king's peace. They also allowed the previous hand to die, have arrested the current one and contributed to Robert's death while hunting. So I guess, the Tyrells could try to add their name to the royal family for the child of Margaery, but that's not really what's important, which is that the Lannisters did a coup d'etat.
@@KartovOndulevitch Ned was shocked because it was counter to Robert's will which stated his heir would be appointed a regent until he comes of age. Joffrey was a child at the time (12 or 13 IIRC), so it's unusual that he was made sole ruler of the kingdom especially considering the previous king ordered that was not to be done.
Joffrey being of "House Baratheon and Lannister" - it was supposed to be strange. I think another character brought up Joffrey's banner (both lion and stag) in the early chapters at Winterfell as being unusual. We're meant to see it as a sign of the Lannister's growing power and the way their influence has spread across the court. They consider their house as equal to the king's.
Damnit. Now I am left to imagine what a final showdown at Kings Landing would be like if Cersei was flanked by her own Velociraptors

What’s funny to me is that this whole nonsense could have been avoided if any of them had a lick of sense of the characters from the books. In Adwd Jon tries to use some dead wildling corpses and lock them in the ice cells at the Wall to see if they would rise as wights. The fact that none of them thought of anything remotely close to that is just ridiculously stupid. Plot contrivance it may be, but god at what cost?

also, Bran-o-vision is my favorite westerosi network and I count on them to give me the straight news about stuff going in mainly the north and explaining the time gaps and jetpack statuses. Keeps talking about how he can't be lord of Winterfell though
I hate how Arya lies through her teeth to make herself sound brave and badass. She fucking worked for Tywin in Harrenhal, "would have let them kill me rather than betray my family". So that's a lie. Calling Sansa stupid when she's one of the dummest people in Westeros, and that "rules were wrong" monologue just kill me.
There are no words to describe how much I love you and your channel
It's beyond mindboggling to me that 'Beyond the Wall' is so highly rated.
Gotta love how the haunted forest was replaced by random Icelandic mountains for this episode, then it’s back to forests in the next. Ffs.
6:58 That "hi doggie" was so perfect
I remember when I thought _this_ episode would anger me the most in all of Game of Thrones. Boy, was I wrong...
Those were simpler times
Gods I still had a sliver of hope then😢
Let's also take a moment to reflect on how sunny and, dare I say, pleasant the environment looks on their way to find a Wight. When they leave the Wall last episode, it looks so ominous and foreboding as the gate opens. I thought they said that Winter was here at the end of Season 6. I recall Ser Alliser talking about his ranging north of the Wall in Winter. Couldn't take your gloves off or you would get frost bite. Horses dying. Cannibalism. Just fortunate that Benjen's horse endured it. Wonder if it, too, was blessed by the Children. Not even the slightest attempt by the Hound to eat Thoros. I'm surprised given all those accounts of humans tasting like chicken.
I tip my hat to you good sir that hound-chicken reference had me bent over
Thoros' death in the show is so stupid.
Like, book thoros makes sense. He's kind of a loose canon, they even reference in the show how we was one of the few people storming the breach on Pike. But in the show he's not nearly as drunk and brash as he should be. The show makes him look like someone who would hang back and watch the fighting, waiting for an opening. He shouldn't be attacking the bear.
They took our drunk pink priest and made him a fucking stoner. That said, Thoros has one of my favorite arcs of any of the tertiary characters in the books. He starts out one of the youngest sons of a Myrish merchant family chock-a-block with sons so for lack of any other real prospects he joins the church of Rholly, which is in itself interesting because we normally see ex-slaves orbiting around the church.
He travels to Westeros to try and convert the pyromaniac king Aerys (and I think the subtext is that they sent him on a fool’s errand in the first place) - not only does he fail but he loses his faith. He instead replaces his faith with fighting and carousing and becomes slovenly and drunk, yet still clings to the appearance of Rh’llor as an identity thing, using cheap parlor tricks to play the part of the “carousing red priest”. He ingratiated himself with the new king and becomes quasi-legendary during the Greyjoy rebellion.
Then, after magic comes back and he’s sent off into an ambush, he has a “come to Rh’llor” moment and has his faith reaffirmed. Much like Beric, Thoros gains new life and new zeal and believes in his faith and in his mission, his fat melting away as he fights his guerrilla war.
Most authors would end a tertiary character’s arc right there but GRRM takes it further. (Minor spoilers for those who still care at this point) -
Thoros still has his faith, but when we see him next Beric is dead and used his gift of life against Thoros’ wishes, reanimating the revenant of Lady Stoneheart. As something of an XO to the new leader, the entire brotherhood takes a darker turn and Thoros turns with it, delivering one of the best lines in the entire series “Some knights are dark and full of terrors, m’lady. War makes monsters of us all.”
Calls someone stupid...
...spells cannon wrong.
@@CorrectionUnknown yeah because a spelling mistake is equivalent to idiocy, makes sense.

DID YOU THO?
IS IT THO?
DRAGONSTONE
I almost spit my drink, you truly are a master of your craft
21:10 "How have they not tried walking forward yet? It's been 3 weeks I've just decided!"
I'm spilled my goddamn food laughing!!
Also: 22:00 "If they water isn't a problem for them, then why did they stand fucking still for the six months it took Dany to fly there?"
Dude, you're a genious at writting, and that applies to all of your Game Of Thrones pisstakes.
For those playing at home, 8:20 is legendary Aussie rocker Jimmy Barnes.. who I personally think shouts instead of sings
That instant transmission "bop" sound effect had me dead 😂
‘So you can scream at a dragon while Aria kills your father… duh?!’ made me laugh too hard! Brill! 🤣
"That's what I saw in the fire"
*"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"*
I'm done!
I was just thinking "You know it's been about a week or so since we heard from Glidus, I wonder when..."
Finally! Can't wait to hear about what a mastercraft in storytelling this episode is.
I thought he was being meta when he said "Boots". I spat out my drink realizing Boots was only invented now. Elite Glidus W
The Mance Rayder "Pride?" edit is just pure gold
