@@rennyrules98 you sorely misunderstand Varys. he is nothing but loyal, probably the most loyal person in the show. his loyalty was and always will be to the realm, not to a person. he serves whomever best serves the realm, that is loyalty. that is the foundation on which he built his life and what he died for, being loyal. he did as only he could, he gave his all for the realm in a way very few are willing.

@@r824077 he was definitely not the same as Littlefinger, he didn't want to take the iron throne for himself, he wanted someone capable to sit on the throne.

Varys came from nothing and used whatever means to stay alive, but he never like the other characters on the show sold his soul for power, he was true to his words.
He didnt die in vain. Jon Snow ends up killing her and Varys' death was the beginning of Snow seeing her for who she is. That's why he gives the look of concern at the end of the clip. Varys knew what he was doing.
I think that Dany killing Varys was symbolic of how she had turned against the realm in her lust for power. Varys was always the one who actually served the realm. It was at this moment that everyone began to question just how far she had gone and it eventually lead to her death.
As poorly written and rushed as the final 2 seasons were overall, I find Varys’ death to be an oddly well thought out scene. He doesn’t scream, cry or beg and flail about madly like others we’ve seen on the show before their deaths. He’s as calm and collected as ever but with a distinct air of… Disappointment. Disappointment at the betrayal of a good and genuine friend, disappointment that after all the years of spying, spinning his webs and working his way up the social ladder that this is the way it ends. He knows his time is up, and he’s done everything he can up to this point. No point in begging now. He settled his affairs, removed his rings and awaits his death. Game over for the Spider.
The great Varys, who always thought 10 steps ahead, it’s was terrible how he died. Far worse than Littlefinger though, as I believe that they actually showed how Littlefinger was one of the faceless men, and it wasn’t actually him who got killed by Arya.
How is it well thought out? He's a spy master and he's writing a letter that will surely get intercepted. He would never have got caught like this. Idiot.
@@ollcf-canarejoalyssan.5111 The finale itself was not messed (well except Bran becoming a King), what preceeded it was. Danaerys would become a tyrant sooner or later, there would be no happy endings for most of characters etc. Rushed writing before that made it lacking, not the conclusion itself... imo.
Tyrion betrayed his best friend for a tyrant, I really like Tyrion overall but this scene had me disappointed in him. Varys was a great character, stayed true to who he was and was one of the few who really wanted the best for everyone.
Tyrion is probably the biggest prick and piece of shit of this story from the beginning. And he's probably the smartest player of all, smart as his father, cunning as his sister, loyal (to him and him only) like his brother. He took the best from his family, except for the genes.
Tyrion was the best character of them all from development to wanting to do what was right. Hereally believed she wasn't going to turn into the mad queen.
@@geebolesgaming Tyrion is why she went mad...he mad manipulated her....his stupid ideas is what caused destruction in kings landing....otherwise if dany had attacked initially as others had suggested...it would have been a swift war....less casualties.....his stupid plans made all of her allies lose....cost her one dragon(it was his stupid idea to go north, bring a white Walker to convince cersei)......varys is the worst.....one moment he finds out about jon and the next moment he declares dany mad.....while she hadn't done anything of that sort until then.....varys is the most loose character.....and tyrion is shit....making him hand caused danys downfall....he was always loyal to his family ...he was so grief stricken when he saw Jamie dead that he manipulated jon to kill dany.....tywin lannister was right he is a monster
@@entertainmentisthegoal4000 his ideas weren't stupid. If has doing what any DECENT man would have dome.

You're only saying it's stupid because of what happened and u know what happens now lol
@@geebolesgaming it was not because he cared about the casualties of war....it was because he cared about lannisters and his brother Jamie specially....he was protecting them....you can see how horrified he was when the lannister army was decimated by dany.....
@@davidbrubeck6083 And he told her that he will protect the people at any cost. And to be fair he also told her that the people she came to protect will die if she sets Kings Landing on fire. She did it anyways because she is indeed daddys girl. It was a good thing for the people, that Jon Snow took care of her so she couldn't kill more innocent lifes, as she announced after the battle.
flori468 your definitely showed that she was the mad king’s daughter... I sure wish it took a another turn because I loved her throughout the whole movie, and I wanted her to win everything, so I was truly disappointed in the end, and I feel she got what was coming to her in the end, but I was also watching a clip on RUclips where she brought back to life in the same way as John snow was...
@@flori468 The writers had her go crazy just as a way to make Bran the king and to get Jim out of the way. Plus Bran knew she was going to loose it and did nothing to stop her. So IMO he is worse than she was.
Bit of an error him setting fire to a document, then putting it in a dish and putting the lid on, promptly snuffing out the flame and making what writing is left legible for anyone wanting to decipher it.
At least he made it to the last season, I guess... He was my favorite character throughout. Such great performances, and really good writing for him as well, yknow... till now Hehe.
*Ironic that in the end, Daenerys, who swore she would never be like her father - the mad King, ended up worse than her father and actually destroyed the entire city killing thousands!*
So what. That is how they did things. The series should have ended showing they cycle. Then the next series be about breaking the cycle not a rushed ending
The Mad King would have destroyed the city if Jaime hadn't killed him. Too bad Dany didn't go for the palace first then get stopped before she did the rest of the city.
He, for no apparent logical reason, decided that Danny was a mad queen. He sent letters to all the lords telling them about John. The solution for her would be to marry John. But Varys still needs to be die for the betrayal. He was supposed to serve her.
@@xQnKx What is wrong with you? Everyone would betray Daenerys. She burned thousands of people alive. You are finding excuses for Daenery´s crimes, Tyrion did the right thing there. But yeah, he shouldn´t have betrayed Varys
@@vilsonraska2889 Your logic is flawed. What reason did Varys have for betraying her now before she slaughtered innocents? What reason did Sansa have to be a cunt to her the entire time? What reason did Jon have to betray her after she asked him not to tell his siblings that he is actually the true heir? Logic aside, the writing was shit and Daenerys's path to madness didn't have a satisfying revelation. Trying to make any sense of any of it is pretty useless.
Varys was such a gray area character. He never chose sides. He chose the best for everyone. Not himself. He deserved better, and it’s frustrating when you see the table read for this scene read by the actors and writers. Writers: let’s make him talk treason and kill him off, that’s a good end for this character.
Yeah the last two seasons didn't have any book content to guide them and instead of ending it and waiting for more they made it up as they went along. Lets just say the show writers were not up to the task and they should have been the ones in front of Drogon getting burnt to ashes.
@@sl9wdive she didn't go crazy she was betrayed by same people she protected and her being the rightful Queen she has the right to put whoever stood against her to death
One of the most difficult deaths for me to watch along with the Princess Shireen,the Moramonts,the Red Wedding Massacre,the farm dad and daughter by the Hound,the Hound himself,the man with the flaming sword and six life resurrections,etc.
Kind? How is burning someone alive kind, let alone a innocent person? That is one of the most brutal ways to die. Danny just showed everyone how cruel and insane she actually is. This scene is also a hint of her burning the city down. Varys was always for the people, Danny just burnt the people when she burned down Varys.
@@cainabel6356 We see Drogon's fire destroy buildings pretty much immediately. He wasn't burned alive, he was incinerated. You don't hear Varys at all as he's burned, because he was essentially instantly killed. Shireen was burned alive, not even comparable to how Varys died.
I think Varys and Tyrion were the worst advisors when it came to battle plans. None of their plans worked. I feel people say all she cares about is herself… she never had to help Jon Snow to begin him with. She made peace with Cersei and then Cersei backstabbed her and then killed her dragon and her best friend. She was tired of being played for a fool. And even after that Tyrion still wanted to negotiate with his sister? If she kept listening to them she would’ve lost a 3rd dragon and the war. When the bells rang I think that’s when she should’ve stopped. But I don’t think attacking with the Dragon was wrong
I think a lot of their mistakes lay in the fact that neither had realized just how unhinged Cersei had become since they had left. You figure both had been gone from Westeros since Tywin died, and a lot happened after that. Neither had any real reference to understand the minds of those she was working with by that point, like Qyburn or Euron Greyjoy, and neither knew how fundamentally broken she had become with the death of all 3 of her children
Anyone who thinks dany should have not attacked kings landing with dragon is a psycho. I don’t disagree with Varys and his plan on trying to kill dany, please remember he witnessed danys dad kill his victims in a horrific way. What would u expect. There was something really wrong with danys head. That was not normal at all what she done at kings landing because of the Innocence stuck in kings landing. Cersei knew dany would do that please everyone accept that. Cersei weren’t no fool. Don’t forget the great sept!!!
I don’t think it was so much they were the worst advisors so much as the writers were wanting to make Danerys do bad things to justify her as the final enemy. Tyrion is actually a really good hand of the king his his arc in the book and tv shows support this. On the other of this Varys is a very good at what he does he would never jump ship the minute he finds out about Jon he would wait until it’s obvious Danearys is going crazy to swap sides. The final 2 seasons should have played out something like this. When the unsullied take Casterly Rock and the Lannister march on high garden where Tyrion then narrates he foresaw this and the Dothraki are revealed to have made the reach their staging point and quickly slaughter the Lannister and Tarly forces where Randyll and Dikon are imprisoned and will be punished by Westeros laws for betraying the reach and house Tyrell once the war is over. Realizing Euron can not give her advantage she needs to win the war she turns on him and looses the support of the greyjoys. So the conference happens and plays out the same but instead of Cersei deciding not to send her forces she does but gives her commanders the task of having them kill everyone once the night king is dead. The battle of the king night happens and they win Lannister forces and northerners seeing Danearys and her armies side by side with them creates a bond with them and causes both to pledge to Danearys. The next day the wildlings and Bran depart to beyond the wall saying their part of the story is done. While all this was happening Cersei is now facing a full citizens revolt because she isn’t that capable of doing anything without ticking everyone off food stores were looted by allies who she alienated, kings landing knows that Cersei will not stand down and get them all killed. As Danearys army marches south the great houses join her until she commands a huge army. By the time she arrives Cersei is overthrown Qyburn and the mountain were killed pathetically (use your own imagination). Then she makes terms where she will be spared Danearys wanting to end the war agrees to them. Aya not liking this goes crazy sneaks into the city and murders Cersei and tries to kill Danearys after but gets caught and is executed by Jon himself. It’s revealed after that the person they killed wasn’t actually Aya but someone else and this was a plot by Sansa, Danearys, and Aya to absolve Danearys of Cersei death while ensuring Cersei pays in blood for what she has done. Aya leaves for parts unknown but warns Jon his duty is going to take everything from him causing Jon to choose Danearys and become her king consort. Jaime ultimately decides to take Jon’s place at the nights watch and gives everything Tyrion saying he is paying the debt their father owed Tyrion and it’s his own way of rebelling against Tywin by making Tyrion Tywins heir. Finally the show ends just as it begins with nothing really changing just the faces.
Some call her tyrannical, cruel and many words, but Varys' death was the right thing to do. He commits treason, and furthermore tries to kill her by poisoning her. Betrayal is paid with death. Imagine if Daenerys was pregnant (which to me she was) then what?
Then Westeros would end up with a ruler who wasn't a psychopath. And if it was Jon, it would someone who had more of a legal claim to the throne. Not that anyone should have any claim to a throne, as it's unearned and undemocratic.
@@draenog96 Which was a hint not very subtle that was going to change in season 8, in fact there were photos of Emilia with a pregnant belly, so for me they are a possibility, but like many things from that damn season they were up in the air or completely discarded
@@hannotn What kind of series have you seen, because here there is no democracy, it is a medieval series, where families with POWER, you know not common people, but NOBLES moved the power from one to another, without giving a shit about democracies or much less who deserved the throne.
Man this bitch was crazy. Varys was right. She was showing signs of her father the mad king. Always paranoid someone was out for her, rather burn and smash then talk, she burned a whole city to the ground attest they surrendered
They should have made Varys scream as he burned to death. That way you could suggest it was Varys own screams he heard from the fire all those years ago.
I dont know why 'she's gone mad' when others in the series have beheading disloyal subjects since day 1. How many did Ned Stark behead ? Jon Snow ? Robb ? Not to mention the Lannisters. But she gets the 'she's gone mad' label. Poor excuse for rushing to end the show.
Varys tried to poison Dany in the beginning, as well as episode 5. Varys kept poison in his rings. He supplied the poison that killed Joffrey and had Martha lace Dany's food with it, when Jon's true identity got out. When Viserys heard the footsteps of the Unsullied he knew what it meant. He removed the rings knowing Martha would find them and trusted that she would continue his mission to kill Dany. Varys execution was for committing treason against Dany by supporting Jon's claim to the Iron Throne and trying to poison her. It was justified.
@@Dante-vf4sd Varys trying to eliminate Daenerys by poison fits perfectly into a line from Season One, back when Ned Stark was trying to piece together the death of Jon Arryn. Ned suspects, correctly, that Arryn was poisoned, and told Grand Master Pycelle. “I’ve heard it said that poison is a woman’s weapon,” said Ned. “Yes, women, cravens, and eunuchs,” Pycelle responded. “Did you know that Lord Varys is a eunuch?” Varys’s attempt to poison Daenerys makes his execution pretty justifiable-she had promised in Season Seven to burn him to death if he attempted to betray her -she kept her word.
@@lisas3545 In season 4 Arryn's death is revealed by Lysa, in a conversation with her new husband Littlefinger. To prove her love for him, she reminds Littlefinger that, at his instructions, she laced Jon's wine with Tears of Lys, and then sent a letter to her sister, falsely accusing the Lannisters for this murder. It was his duty to stop Daenerys becoming ruler as she had become a monster, his motivations through the entire series were to do what was right for the realm.
@@Dante-vf4sd The conversation I noted was in the show. We are not going to agree. At the end of the day, Varys betrayed her. He was trying to kill her and his death was justified.
@@lisas3545 The conversation you mentioned is irrelevant, Lysa killed Arryn. At the end of the day she was a genocidal monster and he was right to try and stop her for the good of the realm, unfortunately his attempt to save everyone from her failed and she added him to her genocide count with glee. Fortunately Jon succeeded where he failed, her death was justified, his wasn't.
She did " What was right "... And her allies were all falling around her... Only her dragon, unsullied, Dothraki stayed truly loyal to her. She finally snapped, and used what she had....
If Varys was willing to take Kevan out to ensure his plans, he most certainly would have taken Tyrion out as well. There's no way he would have trusted him not to snitch or at least have a back up plan if he did.
I mean... if you found out someone you trusted was trying to kill you multiple times and spread rumor of you, would you have him executed in a kind friendly way?
@@benjamingarrett9960 Actually Varys was telling the truth and did not try to kill her. Jon Snow was actually the true heir to the thrown. All Snow had to do is relinquish the crown in a public statement. Then everyone would have kept their bodies unsinged. Varys was for the people. His death was symbolic for what will happen. He was burnt down, just like how the people of that city would be burnt down. The mad queen, Danny is.
Yall really didn't watch huh. This man has twisted and tricked and betrayed every single person to give him any type of power. If it was my choice I'd of killed him off sooner.
Varys wanted John to be king, John refused many times, because despite being honorable bla bla John never had the balls to take decision like Dany does. He would be able to put in danger an entire kingdom if the enemy is someone he knew from many years. Here Dany killed Varys, and he sayd : I wish I really deserve this. He put a seed in their mind, they knew she was not going easy of their people. Robert used to say that fear keeps up 7 kingdoms but fear can also lead to betray. In the end Jon was more scared of her, and Tyron was dwelling with the idea she was going to kill his brothers. Cercei maybe was awful but at least she was coerent to her position. She got tricked by the Septum but got her revenge. Tyron was a hand of the queen full of doubts. Wrong choice as a Hand.
ur right, thats why i was annoyed how jon character did not change after he died. being honourable got him killed so i thought he would change to a colder and more heartless person, which will make him more likely to make important decision without his honour and loyalty coming in the way. which ultimately make him a good king. i think D&D had some personal beef with kit harrington to butcher is character so bad lol. hopefully geroge will give jon justice in the books (if he ever releases the next book.)
@@tentailmadara2500 not better than bran in my opinion. Bran doesn’t have any emotions which allows him to think on situations and matters rationally and logically. Although people may think someone with no emotions are dangerous because they know no limit, brans character is intelligent. He will know when to be cruel and when not to be cruel. He’s a perfect king but I didn’t want him on the throne.
@@mrkezzzzz0127 bran himself is not smart, yes he has no emotion but thru out the season I don't think he ever did anything that you could call smart. He just knows stuff cause of magic and that's all
@@tentailmadara2500 Not true. Bran was always shown to be quite intelligent, even back in seasons 1 and 2, long before becoming the 3 eyed raven. Maester Luwin even said to him “sometimes I fear you are too smart for your own good”.
They did this scene many times and they had to bring the Varys actor back in post production to reshoot this scene due to changes. Not sure if that is what you mean but there is rarely ever a one and done film take.
No way Varys would just sit there and accept his death, completely against his character. He is not just the spider, he is a survivor. After his castration, he decides to live just to spite the sorcerer and he sells what other parts are left of him to survive. Now after such schemes and struggles, he just dies in such a stupid way.
He was warned and still betrayed her. He used and then disgarded her so he got his Karma. What Tyrion did to him reminds me what Varys did in regards to Ned Stark.
Nahh, I’m glad Varys got scorched. The audience understood his reputation but that doesn’t mean his Queen had to acknowledge it. She did warn him. Some of you all forgot he aided in try to have Daenerys killed in the earlier seasons. She had every right to be weary and tough on him.
Huh? Really? Robert, Stannis, Renly... If someone started sending letters saying they weren't the real king, how do you think they should act? This is not a democracy with free speech. If you're the king, you protect your own image.
Daenerys was in the right to kill Varys here. I was saying from season 1 she would become the mad Queen. But here she had someone try and poision her. But Varys was right to attempt it. He knew there was no other way and that kings landing was going to be burnt to the ground. With season 7- 8 I didn't mind the roads they took just the short cuts to get there. Only decision I didn't like was Bran on the throne and how they played down Jon claim to the throne. When you watched the last 2 season it's like you have sat on the fast forward button. What made game of thrones speacial was seeing characters growing bit by bit from each episode. But D&D just wanted to get it over with and destroyed the whole show.
„I didn’t mind the roads they took, just the short cuts to get there“… pretty much sums it up. I’ve always believed this is EXACTLY how George R. R. Martin intended the series to end. There is no point in denying it. I truly think it could’ve been epic, had we been closer to the characters in those final two seasons and understood them better through dialogue and small subtle moments like we remember them from the first few seasons. Seeing Daenerys slowly become a tyrant through the eyes of Varys or John. Even Bran being king could’ve made sense, had they humanized him more, had he still had some Stark left in him. John going back to the wall, had he shown more guilt and grief. It could’ve been perfect with the right material and right script. But in the end, the producers wanted to move on and were given a big enough budget to think nobody would notice how indifferent they had gotten.
I cannot believe that Jon was a spectator to this execution without trial, and still supported her. Daenerys was indeed, far too much for him and his so-called sense of honour

Yes, characters in service of the plot rather than the plot being written by who the characters are. Terrible writing.
I agree. It was my first time being sure she'd gone mad.
🤡
I think it's symbolic of the terrible, rushed writing
As poorly written and rushed as the final 2 seasons were overall, I find Varys’ death to be an oddly well thought out scene. He doesn’t scream, cry or beg and flail about madly like others we’ve seen on the show before their deaths. He’s as calm and collected as ever but with a distinct air of… Disappointment. Disappointment at the betrayal of a good and genuine friend, disappointment that after all the years of spying, spinning his webs and working his way up the social ladder that this is the way it ends. He knows his time is up, and he’s done everything he can up to this point. No point in begging now. He settled his affairs, removed his rings and awaits his death. Game over for the Spider.
The great Varys, who always thought 10 steps ahead, it’s was terrible how he died. Far worse than Littlefinger though, as I believe that they actually showed how Littlefinger was one of the faceless men, and it wasn’t actually him who got killed by Arya.

Tyrion betrayed his best friend for a tyrant, I really like Tyrion overall but this scene had me disappointed in him.
Varys was a great character, stayed true to who he was and was one of the few who really wanted the best for everyone.
Tyrion is probably the biggest prick and piece of shit of this story from the beginning. And he's probably the smartest player of all, smart as his father, cunning as his sister, loyal (to him and him only) like his brother. He took the best from his family, except for the genes.
Tyrion was the best character of them all from development to wanting to do what was right. Hereally believed she wasn't going to turn into the mad queen.
@@geebolesgaming Tyrion is why she went mad...he mad manipulated her....his stupid ideas is what caused destruction in kings landing....otherwise if dany had attacked initially as others had suggested...it would have been a swift war....less casualties.....his stupid plans made all of her allies lose....cost her one dragon(it was his stupid idea to go north, bring a white Walker to convince cersei)......varys is the worst.....one moment he finds out about jon and the next moment he declares dany mad.....while she hadn't done anything of that sort until then.....varys is the most loose character.....and tyrion is shit....making him hand caused danys downfall....he was always loyal to his family ...he was so grief stricken when he saw Jamie dead that he manipulated jon to kill dany.....tywin lannister was right he is a monster
@@entertainmentisthegoal4000 his ideas weren't stupid. If has doing what any DECENT man would have dome. If he could do it all.over I'm sure he change things he's done but any decent human beings who cares about life and the casualties of war would of went the way tyrion did. You're only saying it's stupid because of what happened and u know what happens now lol
@@geebolesgaming it was not because he cared about the casualties of war....it was because he cared about lannisters and his brother Jamie specially....he was protecting them....you can see how horrified he was when the lannister army was decimated by dany.....
Well she did warn him about what would happen if he betrayed her.... 🤷🏻♀️
Yup! she sure in the hell did, and he still decided to betray her anyways, so fuck em...
@@davidbrubeck6083 And he told her that he will protect the people at any cost. And to be fair he also told her that the people she came to protect will die if she sets Kings Landing on fire. She did it anyways because she is indeed daddys girl.
It was a good thing for the people, that Jon Snow took care of her so she couldn't kill more innocent lifes, as she announced after the battle.
flori468 your definitely showed that she was the mad king’s daughter... I sure wish it took a another turn because I loved her throughout the whole movie, and I wanted her to win everything, so I was truly disappointed in the end, and I feel she got what was coming to her in the end, but I was also watching a clip on RUclips where she brought back to life in the same way as John snow was...
@@flori468
The writers had her go crazy just as a way to make Bran the king and to get Jim out of the way. Plus Bran knew she was going to loose it and did nothing to stop her. So IMO he is worse than she was.
David Brubeck wut ? You loved Dany but still you’re agree with d&d’s shitty script
Bit of an error him setting fire to a document, then putting it in a dish and putting the lid on, promptly snuffing out the flame and making what writing is left legible for anyone wanting to decipher it.
Tells u everything about season 8 writting
At least he made it to the last season, I guess... He was my favorite character throughout. Such great performances, and really good writing for him as well, yknow... till now Hehe.
*Ironic that in the end, Daenerys, who swore she would never be like her father - the mad King, ended up worse than her father and actually destroyed the entire city killing thousands!*
So what. That is how they did things. The series should have ended showing they cycle. Then the next series be about breaking the cycle not a rushed ending
The Mad king was going to destroy kings landing too, only not with a dragon but with wildfire.
Drogon destroyed the city not her
The Mad King would have destroyed the city if Jaime hadn't killed him. Too bad Dany didn't go for the palace first then get stopped before she did the rest of the city.
@@snapdragon420 are you serious? he did what she told him to.
Another terrible writing decision. Can I just start writing shows for HBO?

The one character I felt did what he always had to do for the "common people" not himself.
I need to go back and watch I’ve forgotten so much. Can’t even remember what he did
He, for no apparent logical reason, decided that Danny was a mad queen. He sent letters to all the lords telling them about John. The solution for her would be to marry John. But Varys still needs to be die for the betrayal. He was supposed to serve her.
Tyrion is a traitor. Varys wouldn’t be the last person whom he betrayed
it's in his blood
Then turned around and betrayed the Queen. Like she didn’t try her damned hardest to not fight but his evil bitch sister teased her into war
@@xQnKx What is wrong with you? Everyone would betray Daenerys. She burned thousands of people alive. You are finding excuses for Daenery´s crimes, Tyrion did the right thing there. But yeah, he shouldn´t have betrayed Varys
@@vilsonraska2889 Your logic is flawed. What reason did Varys have for betraying her now before she slaughtered innocents? What reason did Sansa have to be a cunt to her the entire time? What reason did Jon have to betray her after she asked him not to tell his siblings that he is actually the true heir? Logic aside, the writing was shit and Daenerys's path to madness didn't have a satisfying revelation. Trying to make any sense of any of it is pretty useless.
@Hamoodyman If Jon didn't betrayed Danny, he would be the next person she murder.
he truly did "serve the realm"
Varys was such a gray area character. He never chose sides. He chose the best for everyone. Not himself.
He deserved better, and it’s frustrating when you see the table read for this scene read by the actors and writers.
Writers: let’s make him talk treason and kill him off, that’s a good end for this character.
Damn it was really cool of HBO to fund this fan fiction and even got the original actors!
Yeah the last two seasons didn't have any book content to guide them and instead of ending it and waiting for more they made it up as they went along. Lets just say the show writers were not up to the task and they should have been the ones in front of Drogon getting burnt to ashes.
@@nonaurbizniz7440 That's a bit harsh. Finale itself was not bad (excluding bran becoming a king), writing preceding it was. Still, mind your words.

Sadly he was right, he saw what was coming when the others could not.
Tyrion killed him in a way.
Current Varis would probably be the best ruler....
After serving the rhelm so faithfully, as well as her father. This was his reward.
Rip to the character most loyal to the people
One of the most difficult deaths for me to watch along with the Princess Shireen,the Moramonts,the Red Wedding Massacre,the farm dad and daughter by the Hound,the Hound himself,the man with the flaming sword and six life resurrections,etc.
You listed half of the deaths, if not most of them... Meaning they are all equally difficult to you, neither of them is ''one of''.
Varys's reply :tanks for telling me you re name i never knew it
Varys was one of the ones I didn't wanna see die :/
We didn't want to see most people die. I think Joffrey was the only one we wanted to see die
the way drogon growls at him as a last “fuck you”.. that’s my bestest dragon boy
To be honest, this is by far most kindest death given to main character of a GoT world.
There is nothing kind about an unjust death
Being burned alive?
Kind? How is burning someone alive kind, let alone a innocent person? That is one of the most brutal ways to die. Danny just showed everyone how cruel and insane she actually is. This scene is also a hint of her burning the city down. Varys was always for the people, Danny just burnt the people when she burned down Varys.
@@cainabel6356 We see Drogon's fire destroy buildings pretty much immediately. He wasn't burned alive, he was incinerated. You don't hear Varys at all as he's burned, because he was essentially instantly killed. Shireen was burned alive, not even comparable to how Varys died.
@@jeremykhan887 Not sure if he was vaporized, but could have been.
2:56 this shot of drogon really reminds me of vermithor
The most honorable man in Westeros.
“ The master of whispers” scream on the beach about treason. Good writing boys.
He did things what needed to be done Varys will always have my respect
I think Varys and Tyrion were the worst advisors when it came to battle plans. None of their plans worked. I feel people say all she cares about is herself… she never had to help Jon Snow to begin him with. She made peace with Cersei and then Cersei backstabbed her and then killed her dragon and her best friend. She was tired of being played for a fool. And even after that Tyrion still wanted to negotiate with his sister? If she kept listening to them she would’ve lost a 3rd dragon and the war. When the bells rang I think that’s when she should’ve stopped. But I don’t think attacking with the Dragon was wrong
I think a lot of their mistakes lay in the fact that neither had realized just how unhinged Cersei had become since they had left. You figure both had been gone from Westeros since Tywin died, and a lot happened after that. Neither had any real reference to understand the minds of those she was working with by that point, like Qyburn or Euron Greyjoy, and neither knew how fundamentally broken she had become with the death of all 3 of her children
Gutting thing is I know Tyrion wasn't a brilliant military man but he had a mind for it when he lead the defence against Stannis
Anyone who thinks dany should have not attacked kings landing with dragon is a psycho. I don’t disagree with Varys and his plan on trying to kill dany, please remember he witnessed danys dad kill his victims in a horrific way. What would u expect. There was something really wrong with danys head. That was not normal at all what she done at kings landing because of the Innocence stuck in kings landing. Cersei knew dany would do that please everyone accept that. Cersei weren’t no fool. Don’t forget the great sept!!!
Tyrion was a conflicted advisor. He loved his brother Jamie and cared about his sister. Dany should have seen that and removed him.
I don’t think it was so much they were the worst advisors so much as the writers were wanting to make Danerys do bad things to justify her as the final enemy. Tyrion is actually a really good hand of the king his his arc in the book and tv shows support this. On the other of this Varys is a very good at what he does he would never jump ship the minute he finds out about Jon he would wait until it’s obvious Danearys is going crazy to swap sides. The final 2 seasons should have played out something like this. When the unsullied take Casterly Rock and the Lannister march on high garden where Tyrion then narrates he foresaw this and the Dothraki are revealed to have made the reach their staging point and quickly slaughter the Lannister and Tarly forces where Randyll and Dikon are imprisoned and will be punished by Westeros laws for betraying the reach and house Tyrell once the war is over. Realizing Euron can not give her advantage she needs to win the war she turns on him and looses the support of the greyjoys. So the conference happens and plays out the same but instead of Cersei deciding not to send her forces she does but gives her commanders the task of having them kill everyone once the night king is dead. The battle of the king night happens and they win Lannister forces and northerners seeing Danearys and her armies side by side with them creates a bond with them and causes both to pledge to Danearys. The next day the wildlings and Bran depart to beyond the wall saying their part of the story is done. While all this was happening Cersei is now facing a full citizens revolt because she isn’t that capable of doing anything without ticking everyone off food stores were looted by allies who she alienated, kings landing knows that Cersei will not stand down and get them all killed. As Danearys army marches south the great houses join her until she commands a huge army. By the time she arrives Cersei is overthrown Qyburn and the mountain were killed pathetically (use your own imagination). Then she makes terms where she will be spared Danearys wanting to end the war agrees to them. Aya not liking this goes crazy sneaks into the city and murders Cersei and tries to kill Danearys after but gets caught and is executed by Jon himself. It’s revealed after that the person they killed wasn’t actually Aya but someone else and this was a plot by Sansa, Danearys, and Aya to absolve Danearys of Cersei death while ensuring Cersei pays in blood for what she has done. Aya leaves for parts unknown but warns Jon his duty is going to take everything from him causing Jon to choose Danearys and become her king consort. Jaime ultimately decides to take Jon’s place at the nights watch and gives everything Tyrion saying he is paying the debt their father owed Tyrion and it’s his own way of rebelling against Tywin by making Tyrion Tywins heir. Finally the show ends just as it begins with nothing really changing just the faces.
Some call her tyrannical, cruel and many words, but Varys' death was the right thing to do. He commits treason, and furthermore tries to kill her by poisoning her. Betrayal is paid with death. Imagine if Daenerys was pregnant (which to me she was) then what?
Then Westeros would end up with a ruler who wasn't a psychopath. And if it was Jon, it would someone who had more of a legal claim to the throne. Not that anyone should have any claim to a throne, as it's unearned and undemocratic.
Daenerys wasn't pregnant because it was established VERY early on that she will never have another child.
@@draenog96 Which was a hint not very subtle that was going to change in season 8, in fact there were photos of Emilia with a pregnant belly, so for me they are a possibility, but like many things from that damn season they were up in the air or completely discarded
@@hannotn What kind of series have you seen, because here there is no democracy, it is a medieval series, where families with POWER, you know not common people, but NOBLES moved the power from one to another, without giving a shit about democracies or much less who deserved the throne.
Man this bitch was crazy. Varys was right. She was showing signs of her father the mad king. Always paranoid someone was out for her, rather burn and smash then talk, she burned a whole city to the ground attest they surrendered
Jon's face at the end:
"I dun wannit..."
Varys is a savage tho ( was a savage lol ) to plot against someone in their own house 😭😭
he go that charleston white on him fr everybody can go 👹👹👹
They should have made Varys scream as he burned to death. That way you could suggest it was Varys own screams he heard from the fire all those years ago.
He didn't burn to death, he was immediately incinerated.
I dont know why 'she's gone mad' when others in the series have beheading disloyal subjects since day 1. How many did Ned Stark behead ? Jon Snow ? Robb ? Not to mention the Lannisters. But she gets the 'she's gone mad' label. Poor excuse for rushing to end the show.
She didnt go mad, stop using mental illness as an excuse. Dany chose fear over love and became a tyrant.
Varys really didn't deserved his end cose he was right and was the first who saw Daenerys decline 😔😔😔😔
Varys tried to poison Dany in the beginning, as well as episode 5. Varys kept poison in his rings. He supplied the poison that killed Joffrey and had Martha lace Dany's food with it, when Jon's true identity got out. When Viserys heard the footsteps of the Unsullied he knew what it meant. He removed the rings knowing Martha would find them and trusted that she would continue his mission to kill Dany.
Varys execution was for committing treason against Dany by supporting Jon's claim to the Iron Throne and trying to poison her. It was justified.
You can't commit treason against a monster who is not the rightful heir nor fit to rule, it was his duty to support the true king. It wasn't justified
@@Dante-vf4sd Varys trying to eliminate Daenerys by poison fits perfectly into a line from Season One, back when Ned Stark was trying to piece together the death of Jon Arryn. Ned suspects, correctly, that Arryn was poisoned, and told Grand Master Pycelle.
“I’ve heard it said that poison is a woman’s weapon,” said Ned.
“Yes, women, cravens, and eunuchs,” Pycelle responded. “Did you know that Lord Varys is a eunuch?”
Varys’s attempt to poison Daenerys makes his execution pretty justifiable-she had promised in Season Seven to burn him to death if he attempted to betray her -she kept her word.
@@lisas3545 In season 4
Arryn's death is revealed by Lysa, in a conversation with her new husband Littlefinger. To prove her love for him, she reminds Littlefinger that, at his instructions, she laced Jon's wine with Tears of Lys, and then sent a letter to her sister, falsely accusing the Lannisters for this murder.
It was his duty to stop Daenerys becoming ruler as she had become a monster, his motivations through the entire series were to do what was right for the realm.
@@Dante-vf4sd The conversation I noted was in the show. We are not going to agree. At the end of the day, Varys betrayed her. He was trying to kill her and his death was justified.
@@lisas3545 The conversation you mentioned is irrelevant, Lysa killed Arryn.
At the end of the day she was a genocidal monster and he was right to try and stop her for the good of the realm, unfortunately his attempt to save everyone from her failed and she added him to her genocide count with glee. Fortunately Jon succeeded where he failed, her death was justified, his wasn't.
Drogon gets close and sniffs like, “wait, I thought he was with us? Oh well, mother’s orders”
In fact that's pretty much the only thing Tyrion did which I'm having trouble forgiving him for
It was the right thing because Danny had done nothing wrong. There was no reason to betray her. Burning the city was the first mad thing she ever did.
The only time tyrion is out of words
It’s only fitting that the greatest show of all time should have the worst ending of all time...
All I can remember was the table read for this and the whole season 8. lol
How did Tyrion have the right to rat him out when he discussed TREASON at length with HIM…..???????
it's wild because Jon definitely spared Mance from being burned but stood by and allowed Varys.
Jon was more afraid of Daenerys than of Stannis. And he was a different man not yet been murdered by his men.
That death was slow , I’d imagine vary went out quickly with the might of drogon fire that close
I always thought that he removed his rings so that a couple of his little birds could benefit from taking them
She did " What was right "... And her allies were all falling around her... Only her dragon, unsullied, Dothraki stayed truly loyal to her. She finally snapped, and used what she had....
Tyrion, the self righteous halfling who kills everyone he supposedly loves. Insufferable.
Jon at the end: "Wait, are we the baddies?"
they made him look so dumb and inconsistant
The true protector of the realm.
he did what he did for the good of the realm
I rewatch This Every time just to Hear Her Utter “Dracarys” So Peacefully and Poignantly She is sinister with that damn word
The Roman Empire has many regions,
Vikings are (mostly) Norweigan,
Quintillius Varus, give my back my legions!
Is this the same guy who said, the big fish eat the little fish, but i keep on paddling?
If Varys was willing to take Kevan out to ensure his plans, he most certainly would have taken Tyrion out as well. There's no way he would have trusted him not to snitch or at least have a back up plan if he did.
If Varys was really wise, he would not have told Tyrion.
2:09 as bad as the writing is. i just loved that grip. The saddest farewell. so basic. so effortless yet it does so so so much to comfort varys
"I hope I deserved this. Truly I do. I hope I'm wrong" OMG, so sad. What you did, my friend, was worse than betrayal. It was a mistake...
Well, to be honest, she wasn't mad until the very last episode, so he did deserve it.
The soulless way she said dracarys shows her true character.
She showed it several times through the series going back right to the first series, she was a monster.
I mean... if you found out someone you trusted was trying to kill you multiple times and spread rumor of you, would you have him executed in a kind friendly way?
@@benjamingarrett9960 She's far worse than him, he didn't try to get rid of her with that same soulless gratification.
@@benjamingarrett9960 Actually Varys was telling the truth and did not try to kill her. Jon Snow was actually the true heir to the thrown. All Snow had to do is relinquish the crown in a public statement. Then everyone would have kept their bodies unsinged.
Varys was for the people. His death was symbolic for what will happen. He was burnt down, just like how the people of that city would be burnt down. The mad queen, Danny is.
Yall really didn't watch huh. This man has twisted and tricked and betrayed every single person to give him any type of power. If it was my choice I'd of killed him off sooner.
Varys wanted John to be king, John refused many times, because despite being honorable bla bla John never had the balls to take decision like Dany does. He would be able to put in danger an entire kingdom if the enemy is someone he knew from many years. Here Dany killed Varys, and he sayd : I wish I really deserve this. He put a seed in their mind, they knew she was not going easy of their people. Robert used to say that fear keeps up 7 kingdoms but fear can also lead to betray. In the end Jon was more scared of her, and Tyron was dwelling with the idea she was going to kill his brothers. Cercei maybe was awful but at least she was coerent to her position. She got tricked by the Septum but got her revenge. Tyron was a hand of the queen full of doubts. Wrong choice as a Hand.
ur right, thats why i was annoyed how jon character did not change after he died. being honourable got him killed so i thought he would change to a colder and more heartless person, which will make him more likely to make important decision without his honour and loyalty coming in the way. which ultimately make him a good king. i think D&D had some personal beef with kit harrington to butcher is character so bad lol. hopefully geroge will give jon justice in the books (if he ever releases the next book.)
@@mrkezzzzz0127 they made Jon a power ranger, Danny was always better than anyone to rule even Bryan
@@tentailmadara2500 not better than bran in my opinion. Bran doesn’t have any emotions which allows him to think on situations and matters rationally and logically. Although people may think someone with no emotions are dangerous because they know no limit, brans character is intelligent. He will know when to be cruel and when not to be cruel. He’s a perfect king but I didn’t want him on the throne.
@@mrkezzzzz0127 bran himself is not smart, yes he has no emotion but thru out the season I don't think he ever did anything that you could call smart. He just knows stuff cause of magic and that's all
@@tentailmadara2500 Not true. Bran was always shown to be quite intelligent, even back in seasons 1 and 2, long before becoming the 3 eyed raven. Maester Luwin even said to him “sometimes I fear you are too smart for your own good”.
Even Danny didn't play this scene well..both actual characters gave it a one scene play and wouldn't play it over again.
They did this scene many times and they had to bring the Varys actor back in post production to reshoot this scene due to changes. Not sure if that is what you mean but there is rarely ever a one and done film take.
No way Varys would just sit there and accept his death, completely against his character. He is not just the spider, he is a survivor. After his castration, he decides to live just to spite the sorcerer and he sells what other parts are left of him to survive.
Now after such schemes and struggles, he just dies in such a stupid way.
Listen to this with Air Pods!! THANK ME LATTER!!!
Hearsheyboi * out of this world
Whatever else he did..... he was for the people.
It’s Jon’s reaction 😭 he’s like oh my, she is a little off isn’t she 🥹
LMAO right! He was truly disgusted, it's when he realised the woman he was in love with was ruthless to the core.
@@feyrol42 😂😂😂 for sure like damn what did I get myself into this time
I liked how the dragon was behind two Targaryens
He was warned and still betrayed her. He used and then disgarded her so he got his Karma. What Tyrion did to him reminds me what Varys did in regards to Ned Stark.
Drogon looks kinda scary in the dark.
Nahh, I’m glad Varys got scorched. The audience understood his reputation but that doesn’t mean his Queen had to acknowledge it.
She did warn him. Some of you all forgot he aided in try to have Daenerys killed in the earlier seasons. She had every right to be weary and tough on him.
George gave DND a box full of characters and a template and as soon as they ran out of the template they just killed willy nilly
This is when I became sure she'd gone mad with her power
Huh? Really? Robert, Stannis, Renly... If someone started sending letters saying they weren't the real king, how do you think they should act? This is not a democracy with free speech. If you're the king, you protect your own image.
How was he serving the realm when he betrayed and let Ned die ?
No one wanted to kill Ned besides Joffrey watch the scene again and look at Cersei and Varys
Daenerys was in the right to kill Varys here. I was saying from season 1 she would become the mad Queen. But here she had someone try and poision her. But Varys was right to attempt it. He knew there was no other way and that kings landing was going to be burnt to the ground. With season 7- 8 I didn't mind the roads they took just the short cuts to get there. Only decision I didn't like was Bran on the throne and how they played down Jon claim to the throne. When you watched the last 2 season it's like you have sat on the fast forward button. What made game of thrones speacial was seeing characters growing bit by bit from each episode. But D&D just wanted to get it over with and destroyed the whole show.
„I didn’t mind the roads they took, just the short cuts to get there“… pretty much sums it up. I’ve always believed this is EXACTLY how George R. R. Martin intended the series to end. There is no point in denying it. I truly think it could’ve been epic, had we been closer to the characters in those final two seasons and understood them better through dialogue and small subtle moments like we remember them from the first few seasons. Seeing Daenerys slowly become a tyrant through the eyes of Varys or John. Even Bran being king could’ve made sense, had they humanized him more, had he still had some Stark left in him. John going back to the wall, had he shown more guilt and grief. It could’ve been perfect with the right material and right script. But in the end, the producers wanted to move on and were given a big enough budget to think nobody would notice how indifferent they had gotten.
@@jennistone8740 yup they destroyed it so they can work on some bs netflix project
She did warn him. Shouldn’t have betrayed her
Why did they perceive her as a mad queen when cerci was 5x more savage
B-because s-she just is okay!
-D&D probably
Yeah it’s weak
I cannot believe that Jon was a spectator to this execution without trial, and still supported her. Daenerys was indeed, far too much for him and his so-called sense of honour
And at that moment John realized… 💯⚔️🔥🔥🔥
The ash Varys gets turned into is symbolic of how GoT's good writing was burnt to a crisp.
The scene where Jon sees Daenarys..
".... uhm, she is not different, she's just more of the same..."
Varys was right all along.
And he didn't make a sound. What a chad.
that dragon looks sinister.
Well how else are they supposed to look? 🙄
God it went to such shit I even forgot this scene until now.
Beside Jamie, that was literally tyrius's only friend.
The man helped him escape death in king's landing and he snitched on him anyway. Westeros is a cold place
