Melisandre: I'm going to die in this strange country. Just like you. Varys: I don't believe you. Melisandre: Be careful, Lord Varys. For the plot is dull and full of errors. Varys: I beg pardon?
Even tho he broke character when choosing the lannisters over Starks and let Ned die? Oh what was the reason again...peace! O yea I can feel the peace now Varys and with peace I mean caos.
They may have to since at this point he's not really an important character anymore he is good for the cloak and dagger of political intrigues during most of the series but now that we are entering in the epic setting of high magic and deities he is not necessary anymore
"Because of mistakes I've made..." You mean like burning a sweet little girl at the stake? I'm still pissed off she talked Stannis Baratheon into doing that to Shireen!
Lucy Herrick he was a weak minded man with boyish dreams of kingdom, even if that meant killing his own brother with blood magic. Once I saw his true character at the beginning of the show I never liked or trusted him. Being a king means doing what’s right for the people not yourself. Hell being a good leader and a good man means the same thing. That’s why Jon was always my favorite character. Plus Ned. They never asked for leadership or power, they only ever tried their best to do what’s right. Honestly I know it sucks for Jon but the life he lived was the best one for him. There was no better man who could’ve raised him as Ned did him and all his children. This way when he finds out his true lineage it will shock him yes but if he does sit on the iron throne he will do it because it’s the right thing to do not because he yearns for it and believes he has a right to it. Honestly that’s why I’m worried about Daenerys. She has a good heart but a quick temper and a blackness in her heart that she’s shown time and again. She’s greedy for the iron throne just like Cerci is just in a nobler way. I’m honestly worried that once she finds out about Jon being the rightful heir that she’ll be angry with him.
@@firstnamett4656 It is actually far bigger than that. Stannis believes in the Lord of Light and he is being told that for the WORLD to survive he needs to be on the Iron Throne. So if you are told that the only way for the entire world to carry on is for you to win the war then you do whatever it takes to win the war.
The music, view, and the characters in this scene make this such a powerful and mystical scene. Varys and Melisandre are probably the most interesting characters in this series, with pretty different philosophies, so watching them talk is like seeing two worlds colliding.
I 100% agree with you I felt goosebumps watching this scene the first time just because of that reason lol they are from two completely different walks of life and seeing them go at it was a a real treat tbh they are both so sharp at the toung it's insane lol. Oh and this music in the background was so on point it had me worshipping the Lord of Light myself now. It's just so mystical and mysterious its like the Lord is there with you at all times but truly shines through when the time is needed.
@@valaxius I don't think their deads were point less, not every character should have a meaning dead, at leats they had better deads than most shows give yo their characters, one was burned by a Dragon and the Another one was turned into dirt... One was killed because of treason and the other because she fullfelled her mission.

Both of their deaths were meant to meant to mean something significant. That they would alter the plot. That didnt happen. Good day to you sir.
Here Melisandre was really wise to hide. Because, even if she was not actually north, she knew that Davos and Jon would not be happy to see her again. And we can also give her a point because she made sure that Jon and Daenerys ally themselves, and she did it because it was the right thing to do, not for be forgiven for burning Shireen (although she admits she understood she has wrong to do it).
Varys had actually died in the moment the writers decided to not show the young Griff plot. Without it Varys loses much of his motivation as a character.
@@staforiii you really want to hear spoilers about books? Varys has a plan that is different than "working for the realm" and it makes more sense from his perspective than his portrail in the show.
@@staforiii please read the books or read the young Griff plotline and Varys+Illyrio masterplan plotline. In short - Varys is not a servant of "the realm" but has a different candidate for the throne who he grooms for this position for years. In the meantime he's playing the waiting game pretending that he's useful to any King he serves at given moment. Removing that plotline made Varys look dumb and washed out of any logic.
Krzysztof Piasek She has no idea what to do, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have the ability to know. Mel’s prophetic ability isn’t specific but it is real. She knows things she shouldn’t and because of that she’ll always be one step ahead of Varys as she always has been. No amount of spies would be able to give Varys the kind of private experiences she can see of him. And he hates that. He hates magic because magic is bullshit.
One thing I like about Melisandre is that she holds grudge to no one. Someone trying to poison her and she just smells off, Davos released Gendry and she saved Davos. Varys is so childish comparing to her.
that episode where Davos told Stannis about the letter from the wall. Stannis was about to sentence him for treason when Melissandre confirmed Davos was right about the threat.
The fact that Varys had to asks why, is proof that the writers forgot about his character. There was many witnesses to the burning of Shireen. Varys spies would have told him.
One should always be careful about interpreting prophecies, nobody knows that more than Mellisandre. Yes, Varys will die in this strange land, all men must, but the Red Priestess never said anything about the When. He may die in the first episode of Season 8, or he may die 40 years after the Finale.
It seems a recurring theme that the show’s best manipulators always come up short against religious fanatics. Varys vs Melisandre, Olenna ca the High Sparrow. They can’t comprehend that they aren’t trying to manipulate for power, they just genuinely believe in what they say
Why did she go to Volantis?? Unanswered What did the voice say in the blue flame?? Unanswered What was the point in Kinvara? Unanswered Why was the flame even blue? It almost seemed like they were trying to connect it to the Night King? Unanswered Why did the Lord of Light bring Jon back? Unanswered Certainly he didn’t bring him back to kill Daenerys, anybody could’ve done that. And if the Lord of Light and his followers see Daenerys as the champion of fire, why would the Lord of Light give Sandor a vision to go beyond the Wall in a senseless effort to nab a wight, only to have the Champion of Fire lose a dragon (fire made flesh) to the Ice side??
Japalloo Yep! I was also waiting for him to light the trench with his flaming sword trick since he was right there. Nope, we had to wait for Melly Mel to come out as slow as possible to use an incantation.
@@EmmaLPeel I consider the fanfictions from "hello future me" the real show. If you havent warched them do so. His writing is better than d&d by a longshot
Both LF and Varys were smart men regularly roosting others but once both met people with actual magical powers like bran and priestess their smartness was nothing
Well glad, all our varys questions were answered by the end of the series. So happy they introduced new things to think about in rhe second to last season, only to expand jack shit on it later
@Not Alfie some things. Not important things like Azor Ahai, what GREEN eyes Arya shut, etc. Season 8 literally left over 30 questions unanswered. I've counted
How did Varys, with his vast network of spies, not even know anything about how Melisandre burned Shireen, one of the biggest factors of Stannis' defeat in Winterfell. I imagine something that significant would've been heard by the Master of Whispers.
@Akantha R I don't believe Varys has to send spies anywhere, his network is vast enough that he has eyes everywhere. That might be the case in Essos, but considering this is happening in Westeros I don't think he'd need to give direct orders. And Stannis is a person of interest, he's one of the five rebelling kings, so I doubt Varys would let him go unwatched.
ye i preffered the earlier seasons where it was more grounded rather than generic ice zombies ( i know the wights have been in it since the beginning but they have a much larger presence now)
@@jareddavies636 That's because the writers of the show suck at proper character and character arcs within the overall story. Which is a lot on their end too since they are beyond the books now. But without George RR Martin holding their hands through the process with his books, we will just have to enjoy the insane visual aspects over the script and dialogue
The Only two characters...who served Selflessly.... One Served to the Realm.. And the other served to the God.... No metter what prise the Fate demanded,they both paid that......
This my guess is that the Golden company coming over to Westeros may be connect the Melisandres return to volantes. She is going to change their alliegence to Jon, and Cersei will be completely blindsided when they arrive but answer to Jon instead
It would be fascinating if Melisandre accompanied the Golden Company to an audience with Cersei on a secret mission for the Red Temple in Volantis, and influences Cersei to bring the Lord of Light to King's Landing in exchange for giving her visions and prophecies. The whole time, Melisandre would be a mole and once Cersei realises this is the same Red Witch who was Stannis' counsel, it would be too late and Melisandre would have control of the city, securing it for Jon and Dany.
That would indeed make a lot of sense. *********SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOKS*************** In the books the Golden Company were founded by exiled Targaryens (sort of): the losing side of the BlackFyre Rebellion. And Jon Connington, one of the commanders of the Golden Company, and the exiled lord of Griffin's Roost was a great confidante of Rhaegar Targaryen. He even claims to have saved another of Rhaegar's sons and is harbouring him.
Actually all of that sounds like a bunch of cringey fan fiction nonsense. That's why you don't see too many successful writers hanging around in youtube comments sections.
I think the Red Priestesses' words foretold the stories of game of thrones, especially the story of Varys and Dany. Kinvara foretold that the Dragon will burn non-believers in KL and warned Varys the consequence of his betrayal, here Melisandre told him he'll die in this land, as he will betray Dany.
she has failed many times guessing who is the prince that was promised. she is sure it is jon snow just because she brought him back to life. so basically just because of something mystical that happened because and around of her she believes its jon snow. no one can really count on what she is saying. i was just watching season 2 episode 1 and one thing that ive realized was that 3 characters of the show were shown just seconds after showing on screen the comet that is considered to be a "star bleeding". one was daenerys, one jon and one was bran. "the cold breath of darkness" is basically the icy dragon. i believe the burning sword could be a metaphor. there are rumors anyway that daenerys will die giving birth and the dragons will pbly then follow jon snow. the remaining dragons could then be the "red burning sword" especially drogon. my guess is that bran will warg into the second dragon.
actually she does not think jon is the prince that was promised. she learned that from stannis to not lightly declare someone that. she just believes he has a role to play.
Yes, she DOES believe Jon is the Prince. She said it to Davos in Season 6. "I will do as Jon Snow commands." "You serve Jon Snow now?" "He's the Prince that was Promised."
Because the Lord of Light gives his followers visions of the future and grants powers... it makes sense that the Lord and the Three Eyed Raven were one and the same (the Three Eyed Raven can see all of history and no doubt tells the Red Priests things that they can't possibly have known otherwise). Now Bran is the new Three Eyed Raven, so he is the Lord of Light. Bran is not a prince, Bran is a god.
I know Varys isn't one to kill, but considering how much he hates magic and those who practice it, I was half-expecting this to be the one exception. I thought he would've taken this as the best opportune moment and just pushed her off the cliff.
This makes Varys death 20x more impactful he knew he would die...not because of the soldiers at his door or the likelihood of his plot working, but because of the echoes of a dead priestess whispering in his ears
I'm really struggling to see how Varys might die. There's no way he'll get a brutal death, doesn't befit his character at all. What else is there at this point? There's no time left for more subtle deaths like poison and who would do it anyway, what would be the motive?
"I have to die in this country. Just like you" Idk why people find this so ominous, I mean Varys lives in Vesteros of course he'll die in Vesteros. The question is when and how and that's not answered.
She bought Ice and Fire together (Danaerys and Jon). But so did the Night King for "Dragons are fire made flesh" and he turns one to become one of his...
Say what you will about her but she was one of the last few characters, along with Varys, who were interesting to watch right up to their demises. Her death scene is still one of the only good scenes in the final season.
She works with littlefinger. She provided him with the potion that he gave to Catlyn Stark's sister accidently, it was meant for Cat. The one that makes you fall insanely in love.
And she dies after lighting arakhs on fire, lighting a trench on fire and whispering in Arya's ear. Varys dies after conspiring against Daenerys and trying to poison her. Fuck D&D
I think Varys will meet his end in the final season. He will die to proof his loyalty to the Realms and Daenerys Targaryen. But i wonder what would happen when he finds out that Jon Snow is Aegon Targaryen.
Yes, whilst, by fits and starts, her character evolved in order to die a righteous and consensually sacrificial end, somehow his slowly but surely simply shrank, reduced into fear and treachery ...Subbed.
Okay crazy theory. Varys is behind everything. He knows that as a eunuch and foreigner, he will never be accepted by the nobility of Westeros who place so much emphasis on bloodlines and heirs. So he plans an elaborate plot to destroy the entire system of houses and noble families in Westeros, hoping to set up a Parliament or Senate where he can rule as a commoner instead. That's what he hears from the flames when the sorcerer cuts off his genitals and feeds them to the fire. However, he didn't account for (a) How powerful Dany would turn out to be, so he improvised and joined her to manipulate her from the inside and (b) The coming of the Long Night and the White Walkers, which he is now helping to solve. In the end, I think he will either die confessing his plans or live to see a Parliament replace all the fallen houses, with him in charge.
You know when she said he would die in westeros it doesnt necessarily mean it would be soon. Maybe it was just way of saying everyone dies, even you varys.

"the cold breath of darkness" is basically the icy dragon. i believe the burning sword could be a metaphor. there are rumors anyway that daenerys will die giving birth and the dragons will pbly then follow jon snow. the remaining dragons could then be the "red burning sword" especially drogon. my guess is that bran will warg into the second dragon.
He is the Prince who was promised, the fact that he is the true Targaryen heir proves it.
actually she does not think jon is the prince that was promised. she learned that from stannis to not lightly declare someone that. she just believes he has a role to play.
Yes, she DOES believe Jon is the Prince. She said it to Davos in Season 6. "I will do as Jon Snow commands." "You serve Jon Snow now?" "He's the Prince that was Promised."
Bran is not the Prince who was Promised, Bran is the Lord of Light. The Warrior of Light serves the Lord, and the Warrior is the Prince.
Because the Lord of Light gives his followers visions of the future and grants powers... it makes sense that the Lord and the Three Eyed Raven were one and the same (the Three Eyed Raven can see all of history and no doubt tells the Red Priests things that they can't possibly have known otherwise). Now Bran is the new Three Eyed Raven, so he is the Lord of Light. Bran is not a prince, Bran is a god.
One of my fav dialogue
I know Varys isn't one to kill, but considering how much he hates magic and those who practice it, I was half-expecting this to be the one exception. I thought he would've taken this as the best opportune moment and just pushed her off the cliff.
This makes Varys death 20x more impactful he knew he would die...not because of the soldiers at his door or the likelihood of his plot working, but because of the echoes of a dead priestess whispering in his ears
It's so weird and still so simple. Everyone knows that are going to die one day but once they hear about it, they gets surprised.
The character assassination of Varys is season 8 was way worse than his actual assassination.
I'm really struggling to see how Varys might die. There's no way he'll get a brutal death, doesn't befit his character at all. What else is there at this point? There's no time left for more subtle deaths like poison and who would do it anyway, what would be the motive?
Danaerys threatens to burn him alive if he betrayed her... how does Cersei and Euron know all of their movements??? 🤔
shes just telling him to fuck off in a creepy 'ive seen your death' type of way
He'll die when he steals the Golden Company from Cersei. He'll take the Golden Company to help fight in the north and he'll go with them.
Could say the same about Baelish, the best player of the game, yet here we are.
Easy. The White Walkers kill him in the Septs of Winterfell.
It may be from season 7, but this is a really good scene!
Damn lol she got him in the end 😂
John snow will pierce his blade into the red witches heart and engulf it in flames and become Azor Ahai.
Dany needs to sacrifice one of her dragons
Dan and David: let’s give all the grey and interesting characters insignificant deaths and glorify Sansa and Bran instead.
They should have their own show
Love the soundtrack to melisandre
Told that man nonchalantly that his time was coming to and end soon and it would be in that particular area. Ouch.
I never understand why that line would be a shock to Varys. Was he intending to return to his homeland at any time to die?
"I have to die in this country. Just like you" Idk why people find this so ominous, I mean Varys lives in Vesteros of course he'll die in Vesteros. The question is when and how and that's not answered.
She obviously lays the ominous into her words. She wouldn't mention it if it wasn't sooner rather than later. As proven by the show.
She bought Ice and Fire together (Danaerys and Jon). But so did the Night King for "Dragons are fire made flesh" and he turns one to become one of his...
Peter Griffin at 0:12 : Oh they said it
Her music is fucking epic
I read Varys 'comforts' Melisandre and thought😀
''just like you''
It’s something if you can creep out Varys.
Wasn't Robb's wife from the play the Red Woman is going?
On the same cliff of rocks, Varys got burned.
Im sure THIS scene will be Important for the Last Episode
"I have to die in this country, just like you........................bitch" walks off like a badass
Varys shit-talking sorcerers is always entertaining to watch.
Say what you will about her but she was one of the last few characters, along with Varys, who were interesting to watch right up to their demises. Her death scene is still one of the only good scenes in the final season.
The prince that was promised is none other than Jaime “fookin” Lannister
i thought it was Karl "fookin" Tanner of Gin Alley
So if she can see how people die how did she not see what was going to happen to Stannis? Or Jon Snow? Or Danaraeys?
She works with littlefinger. She provided him with the potion that he gave to Catlyn Stark's sister accidently, it was meant for Cat. The one that makes you fall insanely in love.
LMAO second time varys got cocky with these red priestesses. Both ended up leaving him mindfucked.
And she dies after lighting arakhs on fire, lighting a trench on fire and whispering in Arya's ear. Varys dies after conspiring against Daenerys and trying to poison her. Fuck D&D
Lol that look at the end... It looked like wanted to say, you bitch!
I think Varys will meet his end in the final season. He will die to proof his loyalty to the Realms and Daenerys Targaryen. But i wonder what would happen when he finds out that Jon Snow is Aegon Targaryen.
Want to rethink this?
She will arrive back in westeros with an army of red priest warriors all wielding flaming swords who help face down the army of the dead.
Hopefully with many thousands of dragonglass armed followers of the Lord of Light.
Yes, whilst, by fits and starts, her character evolved in order to die a righteous and consensually sacrificial end, somehow his slowly but surely simply shrank, reduced into fear and treachery ...Subbed.
Melisandre: “I have to die in this strange country....... Just like you..”
Varys: *In his mind* “Um...Wot?”
Varys is SO dying in the cripts of Winterfell - the north is the "strange country" he'll be meeting his end.
Let's wait until 8x04
He dead now
@@xmenpage two episodes late, but it finally happened I suppose, lol.
No, Rheagar and Lyanna brought ice and fire together
Does anyone else see Varys as perfect to be the next Lex Luthor or Kingpin in upcoming superhero movies?
That would fuck anyone up
You think he could play Judge Holden from Blood Meridian
Okay crazy theory. Varys is behind everything. He knows that as a eunuch and foreigner, he will never be accepted by the nobility of Westeros who place so much emphasis on bloodlines and heirs. So he plans an elaborate plot to destroy the entire system of houses and noble families in Westeros, hoping to set up a Parliament or Senate where he can rule as a commoner instead. That's what he hears from the flames when the sorcerer cuts off his genitals and feeds them to the fire. However, he didn't account for (a) How powerful Dany would turn out to be, so he improvised and joined her to manipulate her from the inside and (b) The coming of the Long Night and the White Walkers, which he is now helping to solve. In the end, I think he will either die confessing his plans or live to see a Parliament replace all the fallen houses, with him in charge.
You know when she said he would die in westeros it doesnt necessarily mean it would be soon. Maybe it was just way of saying everyone dies, even you varys.
shiet. I dont want varus to die. Hes the most interesting character.
Possessed Furby the final season will reveal what the voice said in the flames that night he was cut. My guess is “Dracarys”
What will Varys do in Season 8? I really hope he'll have a good story and not just watching the fight.
Ahahahhahhahahhahhahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahhahahhahah
@@hiZarki Sigh.
I wonder.. After the teaser of Winterfell in ruins & everyone's weapons left behind.. Does Melisandre know the living are going to lose?
