@@smac0010 yeah but this is the show, which is an adaptation, so they didnt want him to be sympathetic, we had way too many by s3. We needed a fuck up, which is what edmure was. And he remained a fuckup in every single appearance up to his emasculation from sansa in the dragon pit
This scene actually sucks versus the books. Edmure misses because he’s distraught over his fathers death, and Blackfish reaffirms him by saying he suffered the same thing when he had to do it for his own father. But no, let’s make Edmure the laughing stock at his fathers funeral…
That's because he's kept alive by the Freys - if we're counting living in their own right he'd have died at the Red Wedding along with Catelyn and Robb
"Sorry about your father - Now make this impossible bowshot inside a canoe traveling fast downstream with high winds, and by the way the entire court is watching"
@@NtoTheM That is the point. It is an impossible shot. Plus putting a burning cloth probably makes it harder. Blackfish does an unrealistic shot with his plot armor.
@@lactobacillusacidophilus That ain't impossible. Splitting incoming arrows with your own arrow was considered impossible for a long time and then some guy just taught himself to do it. I've seen people do too many crazy things. This isn't even in the top 100 in terms of difficulty.
Word. I hated that he survived the red wedding being one of the few remaining members of House Tully (along with Edmure) only to be killed off screen. I was kinda annoyed he escaped off screen too. However I liked the character.
What a great ending it would have been if kingslanding would have been taken without slaughter and BLACKFISH would have been made the hand of the king. He was so much like Ned Stark ( in terms of honour ).
He knew Edmure's third arrow was a miss as soon as it left the string, so he took charge. Then he took a second to consider the wind direction, shot and knew right away it was a good shot. Not only did it hit, but avoided the dead body too. How cool was that?
Imagine what D&D were saying for this scene Book reader: So Edmure is in grief, crying, that's why he missed his shot. Also, Blackfish consoled him after missing because he went the same as Edmure when he shot the arrow on his father's funeral. D&D: what about we make him look like an idiot, not at all in grief, and miss his shots. Then let Blackfish take the bow and arrow and push him to the side lololol Book reader: But... D&D: it's settled then!
Funny how all the comments hatting on this scene are recent but when this scene came out and people liked the show this scene was pure gold... Sheep following the trends
I always wondered how many times the archer missed the target for these funerals in the past, like "fuck, shit, damnit, oh come on really? I'm out of arrows"
none, arrows were always a precious commodity, funeral pyres were lighted in shore and casted away IF they had a funeral pyre, shooting an arrow to a canoe to light it on fire is hollywood stuff, just like vikings with horned helmets or the cesar with the thumbs up/down to gladiators
@@spidlenexor it's a fantasy world, they've got summers and winters that last for years, and dragons that breathe fire, so it's not Earth as we know it and talking about historical accuracy makes zero sense here
I really hate how the show tries to make Edmure just look incompetent, I'd like to see anyone else on that river besides the blackfish make a shot like that. Anyone who has tried traditional archery will tell you how hard it is. In the book Edmure is missing because he is trying to emotionally hold himself together because of his grief.
Yeah I used to do archery at the local club as a hobby, and that’s not an easy shot at all. Looks like over 50 yards out, while a lot of people struggle to hit something 20 yards out. I wasn’t anything special but I was pretty decent when it came to hitting things straight on, however having to hit at an arc, with significant wind, and a moving target… no one’s making that shot in one or two goes unless they’re really good.
true. though you have to consider it was something these little lords trained to do from a small child and trained constantly. especially edmure and the blackfish who would probably had prepared many times for these types of shots as its in their tradition
Its interesting how in the books Black fish is actually quite forgiving with his nephews inability to land a shot. In the books its a frey bastard I think, Walder Rivers, who japes at him. This is one of the TV shows mergers of character
Nobody makes fun of Edmure in the books, because he's one of the most powerful men in Westeros. Walder Rivers only gets snotty with him much later, during tne negotiations over the marriage with the Freys, and that's kind of the point, that as a bastard, people think less of him and can write off his rudeness as a product of his station, without creating a problem between his family and Edmure's. So Walder Frey sends his rough, blunt bastard son along with his crippled, but charming legitimate son to do the negotiations. It's both a subtle diss at Edmure, that he sends a cripple and a bastard implying that Edmure isn't worth his best people, and also making use of their skills.
This scene never gets old, no matter how many times i watch. After shooting the arrow he never even bothered to see. That's the confidence of his aim. i like that
Way back in the 70's we were doing our Order of the Arrow ceremony for the Boy Scouts. We built a large bonfire near the shore of a lake. The plan was for a group of older Scouts to paddle up in a canoe and light the fire with a flaming arrow. Since there would be almost a 100 Scouts circled around the arrow would be shot from only the distance of 10 feet. Instead the scout in the canoe fired the flaming arrow from a wobbly canoe well over a hundred yards out. Our troop leader looked mortified as he watched the flaming arrow decend on the large gathering of young Scouts. The arrow landed dead in the middle of the wood igniting the fire. Years later one of the 3 Scouts in the canoe admitted that they were all stoned when they paddled up because they had been smoking a few joints before the ceremony began and the Scout who launched the flaming arrow actually fell over backwards while shooting because he could hardly stand up straight.
Rob trying not to laugh at Edmure missing is bringing back memories of my grandfather's funeral, where my father had hired a bagpiper who moonlighted as a trumpeter for the ceremony. He was an amazing bagpiper. Not the best trumpeter tho. He began a rendition of the Star Spangled Banner (gramps was a marine who never saw combat in Vietnam) that he must not've had the wind for, because he began to audibly croak by the end of it. I still remember, in a suit on a hot summer day, drenched with sweat and crying because I was trying not to laugh. My brother was home from a tour in the middle east (another Marine) and was crushing my knuckles as we held hands with our mom. He was red in the face and his cheeks were puffed, trying to hold it in. Our mom slapped the both of us on the shoulder, and she was sweating bullets and red in the face as well. We were all breaking at the seams, making icy eye contact with the two riflemen in their dress blues that stood beside the tri-folded flag (the funniest part was the rest of our family had risen for the anthem and turned to face the waving flag outside instead of the American flag on his coffin, which allowed us some snickers while the trumpeter finished up). When it was all over everybody sat down and glared at us while he caught our breath. They buried him, and on the way to the reception my dad pulled us aside, my mother (his ex wife), my brother, and our cousins behind my mom's truck. He was mortified but had laugh lines sunk into his skin from tensing his face up. He told us about the trumpeter "well, the good news is, I haven't paid him yet" and we all just fell apart laughing. Probably the most fun I've ever had at a funeral. We would've felt bad, but for as much of a bastard as gramps was in his final years, he would've been laughing too. Moreso if he knew it was at HIS funeral that this would happen.
Grief comes in many forms. If something is funny it's ok to laugh. I'm sure your gramps wouldn't want you to be miserable all the time. Something to make something as dreadfull as funeral of a loved one less horrible is always good.
Agreed he should be in mourning and people should have shown some empathy no matter how stupid he was. Him missing the shot was embarrassing but fine but his uncle being a prick about it is not okay. The writers probably thought it was cool to show off in a funeral by making it badass and it probably was badass for 15 year olds who don't know what stories should be like.
Or they should have shot at the boat when it was closer, and used more than just one archer. that shot is pretty damn hard to make even if the boat was sitting still.
I call bull**it on this. Archery doesn’t work like that. That longshot would have been acceptable for a sniper, but never for a bow and arrow. What’s more someone else’s bow and arrow. Not in a million years.
This whole episode wordless comedy was pure comedy gold, in this scene and the start of the small council where nobody said a word, and yet the acting was just top notched!!!
@@cashewnuttel9054 I knew there had to be at least one book nerd winning 😂 It doesn't matter if the book version was better, that doesn't make this scene any less funny.
A lot of people can't shoot arrow. This makes them realised, that their archery skill equivalent to Edmure. The scene makes archery looks cool when 1 shot on windy days, was all it took for a good archer. A good archer that have skill and body strength to reach far target with non flat trajectory.
GRRM did say the series was based on I Claudius, Claudius survived because he was seen as the useless, harmless uncle so no one killed him. Edmure could have been based on that
This is a really hard shot. Who ever was in the same situation knows how difficult that is. No blame for him. It is really hard. But the other guy did he'll of a good job. He is a really skilled archer. Hitting a fast moving target about 500 yards away requires very high level of skill. Kudos to him!
never let science get in the way of a good story, but no way is that guy going to know for sure he's hit the boat from that range and with the boat moving with the water so quickly
I know that S8 is bullshit (and also S7 if you ask me), but At the end of S8 Hoster Tully is: - Grandfather of the King of the Six Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm - Grandfather of the Lord of the Vale and Warden of the East - Grandfather of the Queen of the North - Father of the Lord of the Riverlands - Grandfather of a faceless assassin who slayed the Night King - bonus credit goes for having *died to natural cause* which can't be said about most characters. So who is the biggest winner of the Game of Thrones?
tywin was obsessed with family legacy (and his most unfavorite child (who was the most like him brain wise) sits in casterly rock) but it was hoster who has the biggest legacy after him. History books will say that he was father/grandfather to 4 people on the thrones of great houses.
🤔... the Blackfish intro... like a BOSS 😎. Only other part better was dissing the Kingslayer, who greatly admired the Blackfish, during the siege of Riverrun with the comment... “I’m disappointed.” Sick burn 🔥🔥
In the book he’s crying because he’s too overwhelmed with grief. The show made him look like an idiot.
And Brynden is not mad at him after that. He even try to console him
This scene was "dehumanizing" for both Edmure & Brynden... I didn't like it AT ALL!

Him missing the shot was embarrassing but fine but his uncle being a prick about it is not okay. The writers probably thought it was cool to show off in a funeral by making it badass and it probably was badass for 15 year olds who don't know what stories should be like.
Or they should have shot at the boat when it was closer, and used more than just one archer. that shot is pretty damn hard to make even if the boat was sitting still.
I call bull**it on this. Archery doesn’t work like that. That longshot would have been acceptable for a sniper, but never for a bow and arrow. What’s more someone else’s bow and arrow. Not in a million years.
We get it, you suck at archery
Go and learn what sort of archery skills was there in Mahabharta's period. Longshot was the starter for those warriors.
This whole episode wordless comedy was pure comedy gold, in this scene and the start of the small council where nobody said a word, and yet the acting was just top notched!!!
Link to small council?
Some people claim this scene was suppose to be serious in the books... I'd rather watch that than this... comedy?
@@cashewnuttel9054 I knew there had to be at least one book nerd winning 😂
It doesn't matter if the book version was better, that doesn't make this scene any less funny.
That boat really drifted fast, he already quit on that last draw
Truly a hold my beer moment.
As someone who practices archery, I can guarantee it's not as easy as it looks.
Specially with a traditional bow and a weighted arrow.
No shit
I can’t get enough of badass scenes like these ones
The quality is astounding
Perfect scene
Blackfish does not even look if the arrow landed. Boss!
Black Fish be like: “Kobe!”
The no look ,walk off, steph curry with the arrow shot from the blackfish is a awesome sight.
A lot of people can't shoot arrow.
This makes them realised, that their archery skill equivalent to Edmure.
The scene makes archery looks cool when 1 shot on windy days, was all it took for a good archer.
A good archer that have skill and body strength to reach far target with non flat trajectory.
Bad archery may be a plus. Edmure was so harmless, he was the only notable character in this scene to survive till the end of the series. 🤔
GRRM did say the series was based on I Claudius, Claudius survived because he was seen as the useless, harmless uncle so no one killed him. Edmure could have been based on that
bad ass, blackfish.. I had wished he had lived to the last of the days of the series.. He is a formidable character
Love how the blackfish walks away before the arrow lands.
I want that sort of confidence and precision on my job 😭
Esta escena merece ser conservada en los anales de la historia del 7mo arte, en menos de dos minutos dice mucho de muchas cosas
Обожаю эту сцену))
Blackfish: my boy, you're not gonna make all the Tully's look bad in front of the Starks
Excelente manera la de presentar a un personaje : Black Fish
As Edmure was the sole survivor of that lot, he had the last laugh.
Not sure if you'd be laughing if everyone in your family was killed lol
@@domskillet5744 I would be 🤷. You underestimate apathetic people or may be you haven't met many people.
Sadly Cowards are the only survivors in real life, the show was not far away from reality
No he didn't have the last laugh..... Poor man was a joke till the end. If you remember "uncle, please sit" by Sansa Stark in the last episode.
@@Holstertully Sansa needed to stfu, everything was handed to her while all the hard lifting were done by Jon and Arya
Fire and forget. Love the way he just walks off and throws it to Edmund.
A majestic scene with no words spoken
This adds new meaning to the saying "like a boss!"
Una joya en todo sentido, la N1 en toda la historia, Thanks from Perú 🇵🇪
A badass never looks back
This is a really hard shot. Who ever was in the same situation knows how difficult that is. No blame for him. It is really hard. But the other guy did he'll of a good job. He is a really skilled archer. Hitting a fast moving target about 500 yards away requires very high level of skill. Kudos to him!
No way in hell he hits that shot first try. That thing was so far away by the time he took the bow.
never let science get in the way of a good story, but no way is that guy going to know for sure he's hit the boat from that range and with the boat moving with the water so quickly
One of the koolest introductions to any character; the blackfish
Robb trying not to laugh at him missing is the best thing in this scene.
Say whatever you wanted to say, at least Edmure survived 😂
What if the Blackfish missed and he already did the like a boss exit.
then take a boat and a torch to catch up funeral boat
Gohan: "Why does he keep missing?"
Piccolo: "Because he's firing where he is instead of where he's going to be."
Imagine blackish also failed, and gave back the bow back and walked away like an alpha 😂
I know that S8 is bullshit (and also S7 if you ask me), but
At the end of S8 Hoster Tully is:
- Grandfather of the King of the Six Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm
- Grandfather of the Lord of the Vale and Warden of the East
- Grandfather of the Queen of the North
- Father of the Lord of the Riverlands
- Grandfather of a faceless assassin who slayed the Night King
- bonus credit goes for having *died to natural cause* which can't be said about most characters.
So who is the biggest winner of the Game of Thrones?
tywin was obsessed with family legacy (and his most unfavorite child (who was the most like him brain wise) sits in casterly rock) but it was hoster who has the biggest legacy after him. History books will say that he was father/grandfather to 4 people on the thrones of great houses.
Just imagine him with some dragon glas arrows. No dragons needed, he could have won the entire war easily.
Bet D&D would make the arrow screaming when flying towards the Night King.
Everytime you saw the Blackfish, he was being epic
🤔... the Blackfish intro... like a BOSS 😎. Only other part better was dissing the Kingslayer, who greatly admired the Blackfish, during the siege of Riverrun with the comment... “I’m disappointed.” Sick burn 🔥🔥
