Not getting into plot elements because who has the time, but my favorite change is probably the aging up of characters - significantly reducing the yikes. Also a better balance between the number of named characters and "screen time".
@@mokarokas-1727 Great point. They did a really good job of combining characters and events to make the show more condensed without losing story beats :)
for me its either bron kocking the guy through the moondoor (in the book he beats him dishourably but not as cool) or the fight between jamie and ned, in the book ned is flung from his horse.
Vaemond knew there was no way to win there - Viserys blindly loved Rhaneyra and won't see the obvious truth, and Daemon was looking for a reason to kill him. Bro decided that if he were to die, he would do his way
I liked how you pointed out some of the postive changes that the show made compared to the book. Can appreciate some of the great work they did in the early seasons 😁 very funny too 👏
I always remember the chain in the blackwater, jeyne westerling, jorah kissing dany, tyrion nose, and marillion who got tongue removed by joffrey in show.
Great breakdown about things I'd never even thought about. I always wondered why early seasons are so good and you point out some great dialogue, filmography and reasons why. Great video and editing too 👌
I wish the show kept Dany’s dragon dreams. I feel like they missed out on a lot of cool Easter eggs and book references by removing them. My favorite change from the books is all of the conversations that “never took place”. Like Tywin with Arya. Littlefinger and Varys speaking in the throne room. Those conversations were amazing and added some great depth to each character.
Very good editing, engaging presentation as well. Would like to see you do the rest of the seasons as well (aside of our dear George procrastinating the last book) XD
I have several gripes my biggest was "the show just ran put of material" Which os absolutely not true if you consider how much of feast and dance they just dont even choose to adapt. But i think my biggest gripe is all the Starks nkt being wargs. It was such a huge plot in the story to omit and if you want to paint that more broadly. Leaving put 80% of the magic system really hampered the show. And my biggest take away is that if there is ever a reboot the show should be animated instead of live action.
I thought it would be per episode, showing the changes as the story/show goes, but that was very informative. I miss the dialogues of first seasons, there was so many cool and memorable moments (it's crazy to think that it was made by the same dudes that ruined the show). Ned, Cercei and Tyrion owned the whole thing, 19:00 that was me every time they where on screen. I also wish the hella-long-ago-promised sixth book was released already, so I could read it all again.
I suspect the remaining books are being held back to retain engagement generated through speculation. Once the books are finished, we can’t speculate about the ending anymore. What do you think about that?
@@CultureVultureMedia1 Sometimes I wonder if the books are even finished, because if they were, wouldn't Martin at least hint the showrunners about how to end it properly? Or maybe he doesn't know how to finish it and now he just rather spend his time with ANYTHING ELSE, like the gossips of westeros and its prequels/sequels/wtv. :')
@@CultureVultureMedia1that is possible. I think us hardcore fans will buy it whenever it comes out no matter when it comes but I think many more casual fans would have bought it within the first year of the show ended I think many of them have moved on. I mean think about how many people were talking about during and right after the show ended a lot of that has died off. Just my humble opinion I think a lot of us like to think he's a genius that has a master plan but most likely he's just stuck and can't finish it in a way that's satisfies him. But who knows honestly. Best wishes always.
16:44 the one part about the war stories scene that is wrong is Robert first kill was that the battle of summer hall against a Tarly boy, this is wrong for a couple reasons. First Robert first kill would have been at the taking of gull town in the vale as Robert killed lord grafton,second summer hall was the battle that unified the storm lands so why was a Tarly solider there as they are from the reach. And only road out after Robert won the battles of summer hall.
The shadows are said to be behind Arya and Sansa iirc (i read the french version and it gives precision that the shadows are behind both of them). So the Hound behind Arya make sense, the golden armored being Jaime doesn't and is actually Joeffrey and is described as having golden hair, since he is the one to torment Sansa. Another theory i have is that the giant stone armored could be Ned. " but when he opened his visor, there was nothing inside but darkness and thick black blood." It does make sense being The mountain with what happened to him (it is a crazy foreshadow that happens several books later as well) but what if it was a foreshadow of Ned losing his head later in the book ? Excellent video btw, can't wait for the next ones !
Theres a great channel called Phoenix's ashes that has a two hour videos comparing each season to the book of all the stuff left out or changed with Dany. They are really amazing.
Theres a mistake at 0:50 where you show which books represent which season. Storm of swords was expanded to both seasons 3 and 4. Season 4 is not a reflection of the timeline of book 4
I think jon and ghost are already connected in a way, so MAYBE since he is still completely in there, he wont lose his mind/memories like beric. Potentially could come back without consequence bc of him warging
The term Warg is just for wolves. Skinchanging is the broad term. And Catelyn wanting Ned to be Hand is for her family. She wants her daughters to be high ladies in King's Landing
Looking now at HOTD season 2 i think D&D were not as bad as i thought Condal and Hess are much worse, why because they have source material and they do not use it they write fan fiction D&D at least give us 4 good seasons
Great video about GOT, although I might have seen many spoilers (haven't watched the series yet xd) Could you do the same between Fire and Blood and House of the dragon Season 1 and 2??? 🐲🐉🫅
That's kind of a difficult premise, because Fire and Blood is written like a succinct history book with most details unknown or presented with several conflicting accounts. Most scene comparisons would be summarized with "we don't know if this is how it went down in the book". =') When it was given the Game of Thrones treatment, they kind of went the middle path with everything so far. There are also a couple of changes that affects EVERYTHING, such as the relation and dynamic between Rhaenyra and Alicent who have quite the age gap in the book. So with either really broad changes or just settling on details that are otherwise unknown, a comparison might end up just being a book plot summary...
Absolutely. It would almost make more sense to speak of the parts where the show did exactly what's in the book, seeing as most of the show is filling in the blanks. With that said, I could make a lengthy video about how they ruined Blood & Cheese x)
What was your favorite change from the book to season 1? 🤓

The soundtrack
Book 4 and 5 to season 5 is gonna be like 5 hours long
Genuinly trying to figure that out x)
23:26 Vaemond's BAST*RD never fails to make me chuckle
Can't not use it :P
Vaemond knew there was no way to win there - Viserys blindly loved Rhaneyra and won't see the obvious truth, and Daemon was looking for a reason to kill him. Bro decided that if he were to die, he would do his way
The robert and cersie scene is one of the best in the show honestly
Those scenes really are where the adaptation shone. And then you get the showrunner for HOTD saying it's all about dragons 🫠
Someone give this editor a medal 🔥
I wish the show included more of the cute dire-wolf scenes. Like when Arya was trying to brush Nymirias hair or when Shaggy Dog bit Maester Luwin.
Indeed! I would have liked to see them intimidate the Frey kids at Winterfell too
I liked how you pointed out some of the postive changes that the show made compared to the book. Can appreciate some of the great work they did in the early seasons 😁 very funny too 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just started reading recently and have been looking everywhere for a video like this
Glad to hear it! I hope it lived up to your expectations
I always remember the chain in the blackwater, jeyne westerling, jorah kissing dany, tyrion nose, and marillion who got tongue removed by joffrey in show.
Patchface, Lady Stoneheart, Renly's Peach, Arianne Martell, Victarion Greyjoy, lady Dustin, the Ghost At High Heart, Young Griff...
more videos pls bro, your content is excellent
Coming up asap my friend 🙏
@@CultureVultureMedia1 😃
Great breakdown about things I'd never even thought about. I always wondered why early seasons are so good and you point out some great dialogue, filmography and reasons why. Great video and editing too 👌
And to think that people remember the show for the dragons...
Thanks for the kind words. Glad you liked the video!

Tywin and Arya is by far my favorite!
Not sure if I’m remembering correctly but didn’t Tyrion do like a bunch of flips and gymnastics when first introduced in the books for some reason?
Haha that is correct. GRRM did come out and say that those parts weren't really necessary :P
Great video and editing! Looking forward to future season/book breakdowns.
Yes love this new series cant wait for more!
Finally man! I'ts been too long!
Very good editing, engaging presentation as well. Would like to see you do the rest of the seasons as well (aside of our dear George procrastinating the last book) XD
Thanks, glad you liked it :D

An animated adaptation would be a great idea! Which studio should produce it, though?
@CultureVultureMedia1 well they're with Warner bros, however idk. My pick is someone who worked on that lotr animated movie coming out about Rohan

Thanks, glad you liked it! :)
I hope George does justice to Tyrion in the books. Show runners destroyed tyrions character.
They destroyed almost every major character, I think Tyrion didn't even get the worst of it
@@Madness1337I agree they all were ruined. Dany definitely got the worse of it by far starting from the first season.
When characters were more than in books not less
Now its gonna take u awhile for the rest xD
There just happens to be ONE BIG DETAIL left out of the Tysha story. Can you guess it?
Ummmm, her hair colour?
@Spidersox1989 haha nope, it's an even darker part of the story that the show left out
Tysha's story will be covered in the video about season 4 :)
@CultureVultureMedia1 hope it's a segment under the whitewashing of Tyrion :)
@@joeyken81 Absolutely. We'll discuss Tysha with season 4, then Tyrion's changed trajectory in season 5 😎
