@Bonnie Cull I don't think so, I think that they blindly followed the high sparrow and he was so intent on not letting anyone "evade justice", that he simply would not allow for anyone to leave. They were basically just enforcing his will.
Of course he was the king who wore no crown 👑 if he forbade they waves ceased. If he thought u might oppose him he either sent a harp or an army.Hes responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands. He was the Lion of Casterorly rock.
Brody Wilson To be fair to Tywin, he still educated him and let him live as a highborn Lord. Most other nobles would have left him to die and wrote off the child as stillborn. Tywin also fought for him after his abduction. Tywin certainly respected his intellect, but hated his whoring and drinking as it embarrassed House Lannister. Tywin despises people like that, as his father was like that and it nearly led to the Destruction of House Lannister.
@@justinpachi3707 Didn't stop him from condemning Tyrion to die for a false charge and slept with the woman he loved as one final spite. A great lord and hand of the king but a *shit* father.
Sort of a spoiler, but Kevan is not killed by a wildfire explosion in the books. He died in a similar fashion as Pycelle was in the show, in that he was lured and then unexpectedly killed, but what differs is that he was killed by Varys. Apparently, Varys told him that while he bore Kevan no ill will, he believed Kevan to be such a good leader that he would bring peace to the realm and undo the discord Varys tried to sow, and this peace would make it difficult for a Targaryen to reclaim the throne. For that reason, Kevan needed to die.
@Frank Castle Which makes him no different than any other powerful player in the game. He believes he is on the right and just side, so when he says "For the good of the Realm", he isn't lying.
@@davideats9255 He is though because he acknowledges Kevan would be good for the real. Which is whole gimmick - that he wants what's best for the realm. In reality, he wants his horse on the throne
@@matc2679 That's a very good point. Maybe he is lying to himself about what is good for the realm or maybe he is thinking big picture and has secret information that we don't yet. I'm dying to know what it is he heard when that voice called out to him all those years ago. That makes me wonder if he has information only he knows about the future and that that is central to informing his intentions and his actions.
David Eats that would add an interesting twist. Maybe there’s a reason the red priestess in Mereen mentioned it to Varys other than just to spook him or show how much she knows/has magical powers. The GoT world is a very zero sum one so I can understand why Varys could think Kevan good but still feel the need to kill him. Kevan has a large army and is influential. If he doesn’t wish to follow Dany, he could pose a formidable threat to her. At this point, it just feels like Varys and Dany has overstepped the mark from their initial good intention. They’ve gone from wanting what’s best for Westeros to wanting what’s best for Westeros as long as they are on the throne. And of course the latter allows them to feel justified in committing evil which makes them little different to the characters they morally looked down on.
If kevan was still alive when cersei became queen; he could've led a coup to overthrow cersei. I'm sure the lannisters are as sick of her as everyone else.
Let's see she embarrassed her house by becoming pregnant by her brother She raised a spoiled brat who once became king made everything more difficult for the lannisters as well as losing two important Stark prisoners She tried to seize power by bringing back the faith militant that blew up in her face and caused a lot of trouble She killed her uncle who was the de facto head of the lannisters So yeah I could see why her house would be upset with her
@@a-a-ron1155 Not to mention she accused Tyrion of murdering Joffrey, which led to Tywin, the most important man in Westeros and their guardian, getting killed by Tyrion. All because of Cersei
@@mattiacurto4863 Dorne actually strives to safeguard Myrcella throughout the books because they play the Game of Thrones far better than they did in the show. First, Prince Doran's daughter, Arianne, attempted to crown Myrcella Queen of Westeros after King Joffrey's death, per Dornish tradition to disregard gender when dealing with successions. When Doran stopped her plot, Ser Gerold Dayne attempted to kill Myrcella and the Martells raced her back to Sunspear where Doran's maester saved her life. Then, Doran reveals to Arianne that he's secretly sent her brother Quentyn Martell to Meereen to establish an alliance with Queen Daenerys. Then, to keep up appearances, he dispatches Elaria Sand to King's Landing to sit on the Small Council, sends his bastard-niece Tyene to the Great Sept of Baelor to make allies of the Sparrows, and prepares to repel an invasion of unknown ships from Lys. And all of this is done while Doran evades one assassination attempt, then manipulating his would-be assassin, Ser Balon Swann of the Kingsguard, to hunt down Myrcella's would-be assassin, Ser Gerold Dayne.
I love how for the first few seasons he seemed so insignificant especially because he was always with tywin in every scene, but at this point both kevin the character as well as this actor stepped up and filled the void left by tywin dying. I really really would have liked to see a version of the story with him surviving
Kevan Lannister figured out from a very early age that his best bet in life was to follow and obey his older brother Tywin, and it was a strategy that served him extremely well
Gentle? He was weak in the first place and dumb as mud and the Sparrow used him easy goingly. Tywin would have manipulated Tommen and Kevan should have done the same. Leaving Kings Landing was the major mistake Kevan made. He should have stayed and played them all. He had had the brains for it. So sad to loose this great character. It really made me cry
@@Jenny-of4dn Its true that Kevan could have easily have Cersei and even Jaime arrested since Lanister vassals would respect him more than a Twincest. However nobod coul predicted blowing up the sept.

@@rjofusetsudzin8011 He ought to not have gone there without guards in the first place. He should have assassinated the sparrows by use of Bronn and some assassins most in general!
"To stand by my son." The trick to Cersei was making everything fake but her love for her children real. Her voice breaks as she speaks. Only that actress can humanize a demon like Cersei.
HotaruZoku Lena Heady’s portrayal of Cersei is one of the major departures from the book. She adds a very subtle human element, which is quite compelling on screen. In the books, Cersei is a straight up insane, like actually fuckin bonkers. She only kinda liked Joff because she saw her own ferocity in him.
I honestly never bought her so called love for her children. She loved her children in the same way Tywin loved his family. She loved the idea of them, as things that were hers to own and control. Every time there was a choice for their happiness or safety that meant them not being directly in her presence or control she fought against it.
I liked this guy. Whenever he showed up, I was like "hey, it's that cool dude again." He was a smart guy who served his family diligently. I loved how he realized Cersei for what she was, he didn't take shit from her and even did everything he could to shield tommen from her.
R.I.P. Ian Gelder, please spread some love and heartfelt condolences to his family. His husband, Interview With the Vampire Season 2 star Ben Daniels, had stopped "all work" to be Gelder's primary caretaker as he underwent treatment for bile duct cancer, with which he was diagnosed in December 2023.
i think Cersei could've easily placated Kevan by making him the king's hand, it was foolish to make an enemy of him. Especially with so few Lannisters left.
Yes, in one of Cersei's chapters in A Feast for Crows. “Very well. I will remain and serve His Grace . . .” “Very good,” she started to say, but Ser Kevan raised his voice and bulled right over her. “. . . so long as you name me regent as well as Hand and take yourself back to Casterly Rock.”
It's a shame they didn't include his depression in the TV show. After losing so many members of his family (in one way or another) I completely understand how he could break
@@analauramorelrocha2383Well…. Lord Reyne betrayed him and tried to ruin his family as well. I don’t think he feels much for them beyond bitterness. Tywin did try to give them a chance to yield and repay the debt several times, but they refused. So he put them down.
Kevan Lannister is like Stannis Baratheon. They are capable individuals and know what is right and wrong. Maybe they were even capable than their elderly brothers, but choose not to overstep their position in the family. Tywin and Robert are the elder and Kevan and Stannis are the junior. Therefore, they follow.
I honestly do not remember a scene in the throne room. Nonetheless, Kevan Lannister was one of my favourite characters, both in the books and in the show - he should have got more screen time.
@@el34glo59 In the books he has a far more important role, even being a POV character at one point. He was one of my favorite book characters too, in a lot of ways he would've been better for the family than Tywin was, since he lacks Tywin's worse traits. He wouldn't have extended the influence of the family like Tywin did, but his rule would've definitely been much more stable.
The showrunners were told, roughly speaking, how GRRM envisioned that things would end. But I imagine they took a number of shortcuts to get there, blowing up the sept included
I'd say Kevan is better suited to rule, Tywin is too bitter about everything including his wife's death, his father having a mistress. He caused the downfall of his house by planning the red wedding and Tyrion's trial
Not going to lie, when all the big dogs like Tywin, Joffrey(Debatable), Tyrion either left or died, king's landing was in the palms of mice and from there will the destruction be the worst.
@Frank Castle Joffrey was anything but a puppet king... he didn't listen to his mother or any of his advisors, he did what he wanted to do (beheading Ned, torturing Sansa etc.), he even confronted Tywin twice. Tywin and Tyrion could intimidate him to an extent, but they certainly couldn't control his actions. He would have massacred all the sparrows the moment they dared to touch the royal family (that's why he is sort of a "big dog"), and here we have Tommen a helpless, naive child who couldn't wipe his own ass properly if someone didn't tell him how to do it.
Nah. This all started because of Cersei’s paranoia, which all started because of her protectiveness of her bastard kids, who exacerbated the situation by beginning the war of the 5 kings, by cutting off Ned’s head, but he only did that because he was insane but he was insane because he was an incest bastard from Cersei and Jaime, but Cersei and Jaime only fucked because of Tywin’s inability to see the sexual proclivities of his kids, but his refusal to really listen and learn about his kids came from his perceived weakness of his father, who was always laughed and and mocked, but he was only mocked because he was rich and gregarious, whilst being kind and generous, without any sternness, which was only allowed due to the vast amounts of westerland gold, so really, the formation of the Westerlands gold veins caused the war of the five kings.
When she asks why she wasn’t informed and he goes “there is an announcement. In the throne room. At this very moment.” I die laughing every time. Kevan was a G and always enjoyed him shutting down Cersei and Jaime. Rest in Peace Ian.
In the books Kevin was killed by Varys. Because Varys thought Kevin was doing to much good for the realm. Varys is much different in the books. Kevin was a great hand of the king.
@@sprenzy7936 I haven't read the books, but what I make of it is while Kevan would have been good for the realm, it would have made it much more difficult for Danaerys to become Queen, who he believed would have been a greater good. By sowing discord in King's Landing, it makes it much easier for Danaerys to take the throne
Sprenzy In the books, Varys is in cahoots with Illyrio and Jon Connington to put Young Griff on the throne. He needs the realm to first be in peril to be able to do this.
Tyrion: I killed my mother Joana the day I was born, I killed my own father. I am the *GREATEST* Lannister slayer of our time!" Cersei: I'm about to end this whole man's career *blows up sept, directly killing uncle, cousin, her daughter-in-law, and her son indirectly*
13:10 I will never understand why they included that fart sound. It's kind of funny but totally out of character for this show. If by chance that is the sound of a chair squeaking then it's even worse that they didn't take it out for sounding exactly like a fart. It sounds like Pycelle is farting out of fear. He may have even shit himself.
It was a good device, I believe. My problem with it is that it is too "wacky" of a sound effect. It could have been better if they used a more "accidental, realistic" sound. In this case it is much too "Monty Python" rather than "Game of Thrones" and seemed like someone tried vandalize or sabotage the official soundtrack.
Lol it's hilarious. And they included it because most miss it anyway. Idk if it's our if character for any show honestly. It happens out of fear and I think the sound they used was very realistic. Either way it's frigging hilarious.
I wish they portrayed Kevan as he was in the books. Nearly as capable as Tywin, and his most trusted confidante. In the show he has the same standing as any other advisor to Tywin. In the books, even in scenes such as when Tywin makes Tyrion hand of the king, Kevan was there with him.
I love how when Tywin reveals Robert is dead, Kevan gives Tyrion a look like "pretty great, huh?" And then when Tyrion says Cersei was the one behind Ned's imprisonment, Tywin's look basically says "hey, your words, not mine."
Kevan was Tywin's worthy successor. He was his most valued adviser and the only person Tywin trusted with Casterly Rock and the future of house Lannister aside from Jamie. Kevan was wise, he saw Tywin's potential by looking past the yoke of the laughing lion. He knew when to lead and when to follow, when to retreat and when to attack. When he needed to manipulate and when he was being manipulated. Cersei claims she was the one that listened to Tywin and heeded his lessons, whilst in fact it was Kevan. His biggest mistake is that he wasn't as relentless as Tywin was, allowing his son to become such a wuss and join the faith militant, and underestimate Cersei's cruelty.
I'll never forgive D&D for cutting out that legendary argument between Cersei and Kevan following Tywin's funeral where he roasts the absolute fuck out of Cersei. *Cersei:* "The king is my son!" *Kevan:* "Yes, and from what I saw of Joffrey you are as unfit a mother as you are a ruler."
This is when the writing was still skillfully crafted. When character development meant a damn. Everything was brilliant. Now Game of Thrones is a joke.
And all these side characters added so much to Westeros feeling like a real place. Now it has become Star Wars; larger than life heroes struggling over good and evil and the fate of the faceless masses.
In the novels the role of Kevan Lannister is more significant and broader than the depiction in the show, I regret that. Ian Gelder did a good job, it was the decision of the production to minimize Kevan in the adaption I think. Well, the show had abandoned the path of the novels by the point when "Show Kevan" became Hand, in the novels he became "Regent". It'll be interesting how a reboot of GOT in a few years will adapt Kevan then!
You missed out Kevan's best exchange in whole the show: *Cersei:* There's to be a royal announcement? *Kevan:* There is. *Cersei:* Why wasn't I informed? ... *Kevan:* There's to be a royal announcement... in the throne room... at this very moment.
I started re-watching Kevan Lannister's clips, only to find its actor had died a few weeks ago. Great acting and impressive character. He now joined Lady Olenna.
Tywin doesn’t like listening to Tyrion, but at the same time he is hyper focused and doesn’t want to miss anything Tyrion says because Tywin knows how brilliant his son really is, despite all the bullshit he’s been put through Even Kevan seems to be impressed by refraining from interruption and he doesn’t hesitate to do so in scenes with Cersei
Poor Kevan. Losing his youngest children in a war that his bother's family provoked. Loosing another son because... only the gods know wtf was wrong with the boy. Maybe Cercei knows. Even after all that the poor guy dragged himself into the mess King's Landing was in to pay his respects to his brother. The brother who was unable to keep his own family in check that also got Kevan's family killed.
2 Lannisters, 3 Tyrells the whole high septon crew, Maester Pycelle, and then the King... almost every character of the king's landing died with that blast
One of the most underrated characters in the books but more so in the show. A truely loyal and loving brother and father. And intelligent and exceedingly capable to boot. In the books he gets some of that praise, in the show other characters just portrait him as a tool.
Kevan overplayed his hand by demanding Cersei stand trial at the Sept. The moment he became hand, he should have had the Lannister armies step in and deal with the faith militant.
Poor Kevan, one of the most level-headed, sensible, honest, and morally decent Lannisters. He had a bit of Tywin’s political savvy and took no shit from Cersei. Out of everyone who died in the Sept, he was one of the few who wasn’t entrenched in “the game”, he only wanted to serve the throne and his family with honesty and honor, and he was killed for it.
This!!!

Notice how he was also one of the first to realise that what Margaery said made sense and started to head for the exit.
Νικολας Κοτζακ Fuck'm he was a weak coward
@@princeuvolesckoolbmovies5460 I hadn't have the chance to read the books yet, maybe he is cooler there
@Bonnie Cull I don't think so, I think that they blindly followed the high sparrow and he was so intent on not letting anyone "evade justice", that he simply would not allow for anyone to leave. They were basically just enforcing his will.
It’s hard to believe Ian Gelder was only in 12 episodes of GOT as Kevan. Absolutely owned every scene he was in. Rest in peace.
The council meetings just didnt have the same pep once Tywin was gone
Of course he was the king who wore no crown 👑 if he forbade they waves ceased. If he thought u might oppose him he either sent a harp or an army.Hes responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands. He was the Lion of Casterorly rock.

I live how Tywin always silently slides the wine away from his drunkard sun Tyrion. It's such a dad thing to do 😂
anthony Richtofen he is doing it cause he is embarrassed of his son not because he loves him, Tywin is no father.
Brody Wilson
To be fair to Tywin, he still educated him and let him live as a highborn Lord. Most other nobles would have left him to die and wrote off the child as stillborn. Tywin also fought for him after his abduction. Tywin certainly respected his intellect, but hated his whoring and drinking as it embarrassed House Lannister. Tywin despises people like that, as his father was like that and it nearly led to the Destruction of House Lannister.
@@justinpachi3707 Tywin fought for the Lannisters and not for Tyrion. That was was to adress the humiliation of a Lannister by the Tullys.
@@perun3706
Tyrion was still a Lannister and Tywin's blood.
@@justinpachi3707 Didn't stop him from condemning Tyrion to die for a false charge and slept with the woman he loved as one final spite. A great lord and hand of the king but a *shit* father.
Sort of a spoiler, but Kevan is not killed by a wildfire explosion in the books. He died in a similar fashion as Pycelle was in the show, in that he was lured and then unexpectedly killed, but what differs is that he was killed by Varys. Apparently, Varys told him that while he bore Kevan no ill will, he believed Kevan to be such a good leader that he would bring peace to the realm and undo the discord Varys tried to sow, and this peace would make it difficult for a Targaryen to reclaim the throne. For that reason, Kevan needed to die.
@Frank Castle Which makes him no different than any other powerful player in the game. He believes he is on the right and just side, so when he says "For the good of the Realm", he isn't lying.
@@davideats9255 He is though because he acknowledges Kevan would be good for the real. Which is whole gimmick - that he wants what's best for the realm. In reality, he wants his horse on the throne
@@matc2679 That's a very good point. Maybe he is lying to himself about what is good for the realm or maybe he is thinking big picture and has secret information that we don't yet. I'm dying to know what it is he heard when that voice called out to him all those years ago. That makes me wonder if he has information only he knows about the future and that that is central to informing his intentions and his actions.
David Eats that would add an interesting twist. Maybe there’s a reason the red priestess in Mereen mentioned it to Varys other than just to spook him or show how much she knows/has magical powers.
The GoT world is a very zero sum one so I can understand why Varys could think Kevan good but still feel the need to kill him. Kevan has a large army and is influential. If he doesn’t wish to follow Dany, he could pose a formidable threat to her. At this point, it just feels like Varys and Dany has overstepped the mark from their initial good intention. They’ve gone from wanting what’s best for Westeros to wanting what’s best for Westeros as long as they are on the throne. And of course the latter allows them to feel justified in committing evil which makes them little different to the characters they morally looked down on.
woah what?! varys use chaos as a ladder for deanerys to become queen?! wow, i am shoooocked
If kevan was still alive when cersei became queen; he could've led a coup to overthrow cersei. I'm sure the lannisters are as sick of her as everyone else.
Let's see she embarrassed her house by becoming pregnant by her brother
She raised a spoiled brat who once became king made everything more difficult for the lannisters as well as losing two important Stark prisoners
She tried to seize power by bringing back the faith militant that blew up in her face and caused a lot of trouble
She killed her uncle who was the de facto head of the lannisters
So yeah I could see why her house would be upset with her
@@a-a-ron1155 Not to mention she accused Tyrion of murdering Joffrey, which led to Tywin, the most important man in Westeros and their guardian, getting killed by Tyrion. All because of Cersei
@@catholicracialist776 She also destroyed the lannisters alliance with the Tyrells by handing them to the clergy and then incinerating them.
@@catholicracialist776 and oberyn was dead beacuse of her, and dorne rebelled against the crown and killed myrcella
@@mattiacurto4863 Dorne actually strives to safeguard Myrcella throughout the books because they play the Game of Thrones far better than they did in the show.
First, Prince Doran's daughter, Arianne, attempted to crown Myrcella Queen of Westeros after King Joffrey's death, per Dornish tradition to disregard gender when dealing with successions.
When Doran stopped her plot, Ser Gerold Dayne attempted to kill Myrcella and the Martells raced her back to Sunspear where Doran's maester saved her life.
Then, Doran reveals to Arianne that he's secretly sent her brother Quentyn Martell to Meereen to establish an alliance with Queen Daenerys.
Then, to keep up appearances, he dispatches Elaria Sand to King's Landing to sit on the Small Council, sends his bastard-niece Tyene to the Great Sept of Baelor to make allies of the Sparrows, and prepares to repel an invasion of unknown ships from Lys.
And all of this is done while Doran evades one assassination attempt, then manipulating his would-be assassin, Ser Balon Swann of the Kingsguard, to hunt down Myrcella's would-be assassin, Ser Gerold Dayne.
I love how for the first few seasons he seemed so insignificant especially because he was always with tywin in every scene, but at this point both kevin the character as well as this actor stepped up and filled the void left by tywin dying. I really really would have liked to see a version of the story with him surviving
Me too!
He's all about good vibes.
I loved the role and the actor!
Kevan Lannister figured out from a very early age that his best bet in life was to follow and obey his older brother Tywin, and it was a strategy that served him extremely well
I love Kevan's nod when Tyrion finds out that Joffrey is now king.
Me too. Soo sweet ... And also his line "... in the gallery, with the other ladies ..."
There should have been much more Kevan in Game Of Thrones!
the big hairy one insists he must have two battle axes, heavy black steel double sided!
@@Jenny-of4dn In the books we have more of him. If you like great dialogues i highly recommend the books to you.
Aw yeah we're in charge now
King Tommen really was just a boy. A gentle, innocent soul born in a world that has no mercy for such.
Gentle?
He was weak in the first place and dumb as mud and the Sparrow used him easy goingly.
Tywin would have manipulated Tommen and Kevan should have done the same.
Leaving Kings Landing was the major mistake Kevan made. He should have stayed and played them all. He had had the brains for it.
So sad to loose this great character. It really made me cry
@@Jenny-of4dn Its true that Kevan could have easily have Cersei and even Jaime arrested since Lanister vassals would respect him more than a Twincest. However nobod coul predicted blowing up the sept.

Matthew Garrity yeet
Cool
That's awesome. He gives off that vibe of a dignified, top bloke.
why does everyone who meets a celibrity in real life writes like you lmao
"To stand by my son." The trick to Cersei was making everything fake but her love for her children real. Her voice breaks as she speaks. Only that actress can humanize a demon like Cersei.
HotaruZoku Lena Heady’s portrayal of Cersei is one of the major departures from the book. She adds a very subtle human element, which is quite compelling on screen. In the books, Cersei is a straight up insane, like actually fuckin bonkers. She only kinda liked Joff because she saw her own ferocity in him.
I honestly never bought her so called love for her children. She loved her children in the same way Tywin loved his family. She loved the idea of them, as things that were hers to own and control. Every time there was a choice for their happiness or safety that meant them not being directly in her presence or control she fought against it.
I liked this guy. Whenever he showed up, I was like "hey, it's that cool dude again." He was a smart guy who served his family diligently. I loved how he realized Cersei for what she was, he didn't take shit from her and even did everything he could to shield tommen from her.
Goddamn, looking back on the early seasons... the writing was so good, the acting perfect. This show became too big for its britches.
Psuffix in a sense it destroyed itself.
R.I.P. Ian Gelder, please spread some love and heartfelt condolences to his family. His husband, Interview With the Vampire Season 2 star Ben Daniels, had stopped "all work" to be Gelder's primary caretaker as he underwent treatment for bile duct cancer, with which he was diagnosed in December 2023.
Sad to hear of Ian Gelder's passing today. RIP.
I like that Kevan sounds EXACTLY like Tywin just a couple octaves higher
He also talks faster

@Bilal Khalid I didn't see any saxophones XD
Two axes . Remember Shaga likes killing with two axes 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes you
i think Cersei could've easily placated Kevan by making him the king's hand, it was foolish to make an enemy of him. Especially with so few Lannisters left.
Yes, in one of Cersei's chapters in A Feast for Crows.
“Very well. I will remain and serve His Grace . . .”
“Very good,” she started to say, but Ser Kevan raised his voice and bulled right over her.
“. . . so long as you name me regent as well as Hand and take yourself back to Casterly Rock.”
Cersei never cared about any Lannisters outside Jamie and her children. Not even Tywin.
Rest in peace, brother.
Rest in peace Tywin
Rest in shit, Tylose.
R.I.P. Ian Gelder. A consummate actor with a very finessed performance in GoT.
It's a shame they didn't include his depression in the TV show. After losing so many members of his family (in one way or another) I completely understand how he could break
He was an squire in Castamere, probally had friends here.
@@analauramorelrocha2383Well…. Lord Reyne betrayed him and tried to ruin his family as well. I don’t think he feels much for them beyond bitterness.
Tywin did try to give them a chance to yield and repay the debt several times, but they refused. So he put them down.
Kevan Lannister is like Stannis Baratheon. They are capable individuals and know what is right and wrong. Maybe they were even capable than their elderly brothers, but choose not to overstep their position in the family. Tywin and Robert are the elder and Kevan and Stannis are the junior. Therefore, they follow.
Rest easy Mr. Gelder. We loved you in GoTs.❤
His death together with all the other KL players marked the end of any shred of quality still left in the show.
Easily one of the most underrated characters in the series. R.I.P Ian Gelder, you were an unflinching badass with what little time you had.
I honestly do not remember a scene in the throne room. Nonetheless, Kevan Lannister was one of my favourite characters, both in the books and in the show - he should have got more screen time.
Agreed
Really? One of your favorites? He was OK. But that's what great about this show. So many characters off people to like or relate to
In the books he is present for much of what happens in seasons 3 and 4. But they gave those lines and scenes to other characters on the show.
@@darth856for budget reasons, though I wish Kevan could’ve visited Tyrion’s cell in season 4. He actually cares about Tyrion
@@el34glo59 In the books he has a far more important role, even being a POV character at one point. He was one of my favorite book characters too, in a lot of ways he would've been better for the family than Tywin was, since he lacks Tywin's worse traits. He wouldn't have extended the influence of the family like Tywin did, but his rule would've definitely been much more stable.
Rest In Peace Ian Gelder
Thank you for Kevan Lannister
Then they put all the political characters in the sept and blew it up. Maybe they thought it would make it simpler to write an ending.
And it was never mentioned again.
Yeah that was overkill, they could have put the damned sparrows to the sword and not killed sexy Margeary and others.
The showrunners were told, roughly speaking, how GRRM envisioned that things would end. But I imagine they took a number of shortcuts to get there, blowing up the sept included
apparently so
blowing up the sept should've had Red Wedding levels of plot consequence. Instead it was about as significant as Jon Snow being a Targaryen.
Kevan may not be on Tywin's level but he's still a very competent, strong willed intelligent man
I'd say Kevan is better suited to rule, Tywin is too bitter about everything including his wife's death, his father having a mistress. He caused the downfall of his house by planning the red wedding and Tyrion's trial
Not going to lie, when all the big dogs like Tywin, Joffrey(Debatable), Tyrion either left or died, king's landing was in the palms of mice and from there will the destruction be the worst.
Frank Castle that’s why he was a big dog we was vicious but easily manipulated
@Frank Castle Joffrey was anything but a puppet king... he didn't listen to his mother or any of his advisors, he did what he wanted to do (beheading Ned, torturing Sansa etc.), he even confronted Tywin twice. Tywin and Tyrion could intimidate him to an extent, but they certainly couldn't control his actions. He would have massacred all the sparrows the moment they dared to touch the royal family (that's why he is sort of a "big dog"), and here we have Tommen a helpless, naive child who couldn't wipe his own ass properly if someone didn't tell him how to do it.
Joffrey was big not in of himself the little shit, but he was made big by the men who fought his wars, Tywin and Tyrion
Remove Geoffrey from this comment.
this all started because the original high septan was caught in a brothel XD
You rat
7 gods are got's Christianity confirmed.
Depends how far back you take that theme of 'cause'. The world being created was what all started it.
And the gang fell apart because of your betrayal and scheming, Micah.
Nah. This all started because of Cersei’s paranoia, which all started because of her protectiveness of her bastard kids, who exacerbated the situation by beginning the war of the 5 kings, by cutting off Ned’s head, but he only did that because he was insane but he was insane because he was an incest bastard from Cersei and Jaime, but Cersei and Jaime only fucked because of Tywin’s inability to see the sexual proclivities of his kids, but his refusal to really listen and learn about his kids came from his perceived weakness of his father, who was always laughed and and mocked, but he was only mocked because he was rich and gregarious, whilst being kind and generous, without any sternness, which was only allowed due to the vast amounts of westerland gold, so really, the formation of the Westerlands gold veins caused the war of the five kings.
When she asks why she wasn’t informed and he goes “there is an announcement. In the throne room. At this very moment.” I die laughing every time. Kevan was a G and always enjoyed him shutting down Cersei and Jaime. Rest in Peace Ian.
Kevin was right to keep Cersei away from power.
I like how he had the same no-nonsense attitude Tywin had, while also being more like likeable
I like Kevan. He’s a Lannister that isn’t rotten to the core. I wish they had him in show as much as he is in the books.
R.I.P. Ian Gelder 🙏
Rest in peace Ian Gelder
She killed a Lannister.
They all did one way or another 🤷🏻♀️
Two, counting Lancel and possibly some lesser Lannisters that may have attending Court
@@alienelephant4721Lancel wasn't a Lannister anymore at this point
Kevan Lannister = King Of Cool.
In the books Kevin was killed by Varys. Because Varys thought Kevin was doing to much good for the realm. Varys is much different in the books. Kevin was a great hand of the king.
Wtf didnt varys' whole philosophy of the term loyal is based off the wellness of the realm?
Sprenzy a strong peaceful realm would have stopped a targeryan attack. Varys=targeryan supporter
Because he was succeding in keeping the alliance between the Lannister and Tyrell, you mean.
@@sprenzy7936 I haven't read the books, but what I make of it is while Kevan would have been good for the realm, it would have made it much more difficult for Danaerys to become Queen, who he believed would have been a greater good. By sowing discord in King's Landing, it makes it much easier for Danaerys to take the throne
Sprenzy In the books, Varys is in cahoots with Illyrio and Jon Connington to put Young Griff on the throne. He needs the realm to first be in peril to be able to do this.
I loved it when Kevan put Cersei in her place.
RIP Ian Gelder

Kevan and Olenna appeared to kind of worked good together in the small counsil.

I love how he, Tywin and Tyrion share the same talent of always beeing 3 steps ahead in conversations.
I love the face he makes to Tyrion when he is told about how Robert is dead and the Lannister’s essentially control everything.
Seeing Kevan and Tywin making battle plans give me a warm fuzzy feeling 🤗
Tyrion: I killed my mother Joana the day I was born, I killed my own father. I am the *GREATEST* Lannister slayer of our time!"
Cersei: I'm about to end this whole man's career *blows up sept, directly killing uncle, cousin, her daughter-in-law, and her son indirectly*

I will never understand why they included that fart sound. It's kind of funny but totally out of character for this show.
If by chance that is the sound of a chair squeaking then it's even worse that they didn't take it out for sounding exactly like a fart. It sounds like Pycelle is farting out of fear. He may have even shit himself.
Yawg moth you nailed it on the head, it’s to show Pycelle was scared. And was probably just kept for lols
I can honestly say that before this comment, I never noticed. Don't know how. But now I can't watch the scene the same way lol
It was a good device, I believe. My problem with it is that it is too "wacky" of a sound effect. It could have been better if they used a more "accidental, realistic" sound. In this case it is much too "Monty Python" rather than "Game of Thrones" and seemed like someone tried vandalize or sabotage the official soundtrack.
Lol it's hilarious. And they included it because most miss it anyway. Idk if it's our if character for any show honestly. It happens out of fear and I think the sound they used was very realistic. Either way it's frigging hilarious.
EL34 XF2 LiFe Yeah fucking farting jokes are hilarious for you, and you even dare to make comparisons to Godfather. Well done, mate.
I wish they portrayed Kevan as he was in the books. Nearly as capable as Tywin, and his most trusted confidante. In the show he has the same standing as any other advisor to Tywin. In the books, even in scenes such as when Tywin makes Tyrion hand of the king, Kevan was there with him.
We need a Stannis video
You are damn right sir.
The Gaming Affect he does side characters more than main.
Yes, granddad 🫡☺️
I love how when Tywin reveals Robert is dead, Kevan gives Tyrion a look like "pretty great, huh?" And then when Tyrion says Cersei was the one behind Ned's imprisonment, Tywin's look basically says "hey, your words, not mine."
Tywin's expression while assessing Tyrion's "companions" is pure comedy. Man can ACT.
3:46 "though he has a certain beligerence about him, you'd like him"
*tywin squints*
>proceeds to assassinate Robb 'because he'd like him'
Haha
This is like the 19th episode on this channel in a row that ends with the Sept of Baelor blowing up
Kevan was Tywin's worthy successor. He was his most valued adviser and the only person Tywin trusted with Casterly Rock and the future of house Lannister aside from Jamie. Kevan was wise, he saw Tywin's potential by looking past the yoke of the laughing lion. He knew when to lead and when to follow, when to retreat and when to attack. When he needed to manipulate and when he was being manipulated. Cersei claims she was the one that listened to Tywin and heeded his lessons, whilst in fact it was Kevan. His biggest mistake is that he wasn't as relentless as Tywin was, allowing his son to become such a wuss and join the faith militant, and underestimate Cersei's cruelty.
Tywin's other brothers were badass as well.
Heavy weapons guy twyin all his brothers are bad asses
Kevan reminds me of Vader's second in command, Grand Moff Tarkan (sp?)
One brand of fucking nerd at a time, please.
Greg Alman its Tarkin
Greg Alman Tarkan was at least in equal in rank to Vader possible even above
Jim H Tarkin was the military commander, Vader the supreme commander
Tarkin was a grand admiral/moff. He outranked Vader in military matters.
RIP-Ian Gelder
the most dangerous wolf is serving him wine
I'll never forgive D&D for cutting out that legendary argument between Cersei and Kevan following Tywin's funeral where he roasts the absolute fuck out of Cersei.
*Cersei:* "The king is my son!"
*Kevan:* "Yes, and from what I saw of Joffrey you are as unfit a mother as you are a ruler."
He was well regarded by his brother Tywin. He’s a dutiful and capable Lannister without being a douche, and he likes Tyrion. My favorite Lannister.
This is when the writing was still skillfully crafted. When character development meant a damn. Everything was brilliant. Now Game of Thrones is a joke.
And all these side characters added so much to Westeros feeling like a real place. Now it has become Star Wars; larger than life heroes struggling over good and evil and the fate of the faceless masses.

As far as Lannisters go Kevan was definitely one of the more noble and honourable members of the family
In the novels the role of Kevan Lannister is more significant and broader than the depiction in the show, I regret that. Ian Gelder did a good job, it was the decision of the production to minimize Kevan in the adaption I think. Well, the show had abandoned the path of the novels by the point when "Show Kevan" became Hand, in the novels he became "Regent". It'll be interesting how a reboot of GOT in a few years will adapt Kevan then!
You missed out Kevan's best exchange in whole the show:
*Cersei:* There's to be a royal announcement?
*Kevan:* There is.
*Cersei:* Why wasn't I informed?

*Kevan:* There's to be a royal announcement... in the throne room... at this very moment.

Rip, he made me so happy when I realized Tywin had a younger brother I was missing Tywin so much 😂
Tywin doesn’t like listening to Tyrion, but at the same time he is hyper focused and doesn’t want to miss anything Tyrion says because Tywin knows how brilliant his son really is, despite all the bullshit he’s been put through
Even Kevan seems to be impressed by refraining from interruption and he doesn’t hesitate to do so in scenes with Cersei
Poor Kevan. Losing his youngest children in a war that his bother's family provoked. Loosing another son because... only the gods know wtf was wrong with the boy. Maybe Cercei knows.
Even after all that the poor guy dragged himself into the mess King's Landing was in to pay his respects to his brother. The brother who was unable to keep his own family in check that also got Kevan's family killed.

One of the most underrated characters in the books but more so in the show. A truely loyal and loving brother and father. And intelligent and exceedingly capable to boot. In the books he gets some of that praise, in the show other characters just portrait him as a tool.
Yes, exactly.
Exactly that!
Never Knew Tywin had a brother...until now.
Kevan overplayed his hand by demanding Cersei stand trial at the Sept. The moment he became hand, he should have had the Lannister armies step in and deal with the faith militant.
