I could not agree more .....Sandor was I feel the biggest influence on Arya in all the mentors she had. She also really liked her water dancer/ sword teacher Serio .....Not today 🔪😏
When Sansa told him she'd fed Ramsey to his own hounds they both laughed. Both Stark girls were alive because of him. Sansa squeezed his hand in quiet gratitude and at the end Arya called him by his name and said so much in those two words, "thank you" in my opinion the show ended there, all the rest was anti climax
The words that I've been waiting the whole show. I knew one day Arya would thank Clegane and when that happened I knew it with that long pause at the end before they get separated
@@michaelredding6093 yup, they way he talked to her that last time brought a tear ! When she called him by name it turned me full bitch, for a second! Just a second , honest
@@michaelredding6093 I actually think his deepest feeling towards her is the vision he sees of a younger version of himself in her.Arya was mentally scarred and revenge/hate filled by her experiences and he didnt want her to follow his path.Its one of the nicest things you can do,to help someone avoid your own fate
The most poignant and touching moment of the whole series was when Arya called out to the Hound using his real name. One word - " Sandor ." So much was said with that one word.
That was a rough moment. He prolly hadnt been called his name in forever. The hound was one if not my favorite character. Toss up between him and Tormund
I always thought about that. How few times he ever heard his own name in his life. Between that and what his brother did to him, no wonder he was so bitter and hateful.
It was one of the only times he was referred to as a person somebody cares about. He was a warrior, a “killer”as he would say but only wanted somebody to love him. Didn’t want to be called a knight but had more loyalty and honor than just about any knight in Westeros. Best character arc in the whole series IMHO
tuanistico No? Jaime/Cersei wasn't well written since season 7 🙄 god, they fxcked up Jaime's development so much, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau told them Jaime would never act like, for example, whole season 7. But it was okay since he got away from Cersei at the end. But then his ending in season 8... JUST BAD. And of course at the end that makes Jaime/Brienne badly written too.
He fought to save Arya, he fought to save the world, he fought to save himself but most importantly he fought to eat every chicken in the building. RIP Clegane :*(
When Arya realized that it was Sandor that saved Sansa from getting raped in King's Landing she must have had a spot in her heart for him for what he did.
They had the best relationship in GOT. They were such a good duo and they cared about each other so much. I'm gonna miss this father/daughter pair because that is what I think Sandor became to her. I honestly think he knew her better than anyone else at this point, he was there when she changed into what she is today, he fully understands it and he fully accepted it. He wasn't afraid of her or in awe of her, he didn't want anything from her, he just cared enough about her to give her some good advice.
He was hate filled and both physically and mentally scarred from a young age.He saw a younger version of himself in arya and he clearly didnt want her to go down the path he had.
Sansa and Theon, Jaime and Tyrion, Jon and Ygritte. Dany and Ser Jorah, Bronn and the Lannisters... there have been quite a few amazing bonds in this show But yeah this one had to be my favorite
He was the perfect example of an antihero. The one who has none of the traditional characteristics of a hero, flawed, miserable, doesn't even want to do what he does - but rises to something far greater than himself and is a hero in the end.
Sandor Clegane's character arc was epic. He started off as a man who was full of hate and he transformed into a compassionate man. After Brienne, the Hound was no more and Sandor became the man he was meant to be. The fact he got his revenge makes me happy for him. He deserved so much more.
This is one of the best tributes I’ve seen. The bond between Arya and Sandor definitely was the best parts of the series. I’m going to really miss Sandor Clegane the Hound.
The emotion I felt when she called him Sandor is hard to describe. The relationship between these two was so well done, so unique and really hard to put into words.
Theon had a chance for redemption in S7, and seeing his death in S8 felt a little underwhelming TBH. But Sandor's redemption felt more real, more compelling. We see him create bonds with the Stark girls, the Brotherhood, Tormund, Brienne, even with the septon of that little community.
This duo is the most poetic in any TV series ever. A hound watching over a wolf pup. Being mean and truthful for her own benefit until she realizes how good of a person he truly is. He is the only one who understood how the world worked and for that he was so blunt and seemed hateful. Their last scene together gives me chills everytime.
Sandor Clegane was always my very favorite character. He started out seemingly bad because that's what he was always paid to do, but as he took care of Arya he taught them both (himself and her) a few things about life. Ned was trying to teach her how to fight but sadly it wasn't near enough. The Hound took over and finished teaching her what she really needed to survive.
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane...one of my favorite characters in game of thrones... He was as much a father to Arya as Lord Eddard Stark... His character is one of the most complete ones... Both in the books and in the show... ❤️ And this is one of the best videos I saw abt him
@@chirantanganguly You didn't make any mistakes. I think it was just a comment to show the difference between him and the so-called knight Gregor Clegane.
She killed the hound but saved sandor... They make each other better.. there has been hatred, despise but in the end it was shared grief ,caring and respect... Will forever be grateful for not ruining this character arc..😍
God,the way she said "Sandor"... It sounded so sweet in her voice, so soft, so like the tiny Arya we remember back from the very first season. Loved the scene, loved the actors, it was amazing.
The hound was a complex character that showed as the series moved on that he wasn't just a hired killer... he clearly had feelings for Sansa and certainly would have taken her to safety had she travelled with him. When he captured Arya.... it's ironic because as soon as he did she was the safest she was at any point before or after. He saw a lot of himself in Arya and this brought out the caring side in him even if he tried to mask it. He went from captur to protector in a short space of time. Arya's feelings towards him also changed as he revealed more about himself. I think by the end when she was hell bent on killing Cersei and he grabbed her and then emplored her to get out alive she finally realised what he had been doing for her all along... she realised that this big rough warrior really cared and wanted to protect her. That why she called him Sandor at the end and thanked him. She had separated him from his hard exterior to the caring protective man whom she owed a debt of gratitude to. It probably wasn't love on his behalf but he genuinely liked, protected and cared deeply for her. An excellent story within a story.... enhanced greatly by two naturally talented actors.
Edits like this make it look like season 8 is a masterpiece. This is why I will always firmly believe that fanfic writers and fandom video editors can fix anything. Thank you for this beautiful video. 💕
hello is it me youre looking for they will be finished the one or other way. Martin got 3000 pages of manuscript for the two last books. If he don’t finish it, someone will.
The character with the best character arc in the series The Hound dies but a character like Brienne's with her own arc fully completed stays alive. She's pretty much useless at this point and her character arc is very weak compared to the hound. GoT for you.
it could have happened exactly like it did, Sandor could've been badly beaten, but pushed the mountain through the wall and got away somehow. His last scene could've been him at winterfell, at the Stark home with Sansa's maester tending to him as he recovers. being looked after by the ones he protected and saved. maybe have Arya telling him she will return to visit some day as she heads out.
Nah. His character had to die. His redemption arc has long past and the only reason he lived this long (other than Clegane Bowl) was a way to show not only the growth in Arya's character but to show her the consequences of seeking revenge in life. He went out in a badass way which is more than can be said for other characters; he conquered his fear of fire AND he accomplished his life's goal of beating/killing his older brother. There was nothing left for him to do after that.
@@blakeforce2672 That's like a Disney ending. It doesn't always work out that way and even if it did, Sandor's storyline is finished. There's literally nowhere else it can go. Him dying the way he did was the best possible way to go out, on a "high". Letting him live would've defeated the speech he gave Arya about revenge, especially since both knew once they went down that path there was no turning back.
"I fought for you, didn't I?" I loved these two characters together. I don't think Sandor could have existed in the world once Gregor was dead, he'd have nothing left to do. But did all he could to keep Arya from dying there.
Literally best 2 characters of the whole season, it shows how hard sad strong people can be nice and caring for others even if it causes their whole life . Sandor and Arya was the best bond in the whole show ❤️ sandor will always be remembered, atleast he died happily.
This is so perfect im tearing up aahhdh they were seriously such a perfect duo, their scenes were always brilliant to watch. I’m so glad they got a proper good ending with that last “Sandor, thank you.” He really need that, it shows he really did make up for all the bad he did and he is deserving of respect and thanks, so when he died killing his brother he died in peace.
Sandor Clegane had such a poetic death. He died paying back to his brother exactly what he did to him. Jumping in what's terrified him the most, all his life. AMAZING
It was so touching when he said „you want to be like me?“ Knowing you destroyed yourself bc of your heartless brother...he was so self- sacrificing. He did so much for others and the last thing was what he did for himself taking out his monster brother... arya and the hound were just perfect together. He knew arya has a soft heart just like him. Great video
Interesting that I didn't shed a tear watching episode 5 and his death tough I really love Hound. But I'm crying now. Thank you for such an emotional tribute for one of the best character in the GoT
Very nice compilation. Arya's time with Sandor taught her that he never bothered to lie about what he was, or try to ingratiate himself to anyone. It was how she learned to trust in the signs that she began to see, that he respected her and even came to care for her in his way. Sandor had an ocean of pain behind his wall of anger. His expression, his words when the buried the poor man and his daughter were such that it would not have been more powerful if he'd fallen to his knees and started bawling. We saw on more than one occasion that Sandor had a least something soft side for girls. In the end, Sandor gave Arya everything he had left that wasn't vengeance.
I "rage quit" that chapter when he "dies" after Brienne... He was my favorite character. I remember how HAPPY i was on that 6th season chapter when i saw that hands chopping wood, i knew its him before the camera focus on his face. His story arc along with Arya is without any doubs, the best of GOT, i love that even D&D cant destroy this develop of this two characters. That last scene was just PERFECT, nothing more and nothing less than perfect.
If you told me in 2011 that Sandor would become one of my favourite characters, and that I'd eventually shed tears when he dies, I would never have believed it. (Beautifully-edited video, btw!)
I have to repeat some of these comments, this is one of the best videos I've seen of Arya and Sandor's relationship. Father/daughter or BFFs, he loved her and she loved him as they each were and grew to become. I can't call him "The Hound" anymore because he honestly, truly wasn't in the end.
The poetry woven throughout this show pierces even the hardest of hearts. Very moving. The hound is my favorite character out of all the great performances that took part in this series because even though he may play one of the toughest, hardest and meanest roles on the show..... beneath all that hides just another human with vulnerabilities born outve hardships; and once every so often he uncovers his humanity for a brief moment that exposes his kindness and the conflict within him.
I am going to watch this entire series again just to see and feel this relationship again. Pretty much the best and most comprehensive character arc in the whole series.
That tribute made me feel a lot better about the last episode. I was devastated to see him go, but as with most deaths, the show had a great story to go with it and everything fit.
Sandor is a good example of those google who are truly google but they act tough to show the world they aren't soft but tough in the actual sense they are lambs inside, so loving and caring. They know their vulnerability and they are afraid to show it for it might be used against them. Arya and Sandor best duo ❤️💙
OK, we can argue about who comes close, but there can be no denying Arya Stark and Maisie Williams, the actress who played her is by far the most badass character in TV history. This tribute was amazing.
I don’t watch GoT but Sandor Clegane was always my favorite character. He’s a man that’s done many bad things but deep down, he’s a good person who loves Arya like his own daughter.❤️
Him putting his hands on her in such a caring way was the best part of their entire time together. He made her know he cared for her. The hound was great.
Arya never listened to anyone but Sandor & she did listen to him, returned in the end & thanked him before he left, it was one of the best moments of season 8 as there weren’t many but this certainly was ♥️
They’re definitely the best duo of this series. The unconventional frenemies/ foster family they both didn’t know that they needed. He gave her a new perspective on the world that helped her survive it... she gave him a chance to feel human again though she started out with hate, because despite of or maybe inspite of her hate, she was the first person who didn’t shy away or got scared of looking at him and more than that she had the nerve to justify her hatred and tell him as she looked him in the eye she’d kill him someday. All his life owing to his appearance people avoided looking at him as much as they could or only cared for the fear they could employ by using his skills. He had been feared and he had been employed for who he was... but worse than that he was reduced to feeling like and being considered a beast, a dog... Arya’s hate was a refreshing change for him because despite not meaning to, not even knowing that she was doing it she was humanizing him just by being herself around him and not being afraid of him. In the end as she called him Sandor, it wasn’t just because she wanted to thank him... but because she knew that the Hound was dead... Arya’s killed the Hound and the man who loved her enough to make sure she lived was in fact really Sandor Clegane.
Great chemistry between these 2 from start to finish.One of the best bonds formed in game of thrones.The hound always saw a younger version of himself in arya which is why he liked her so much
Arya and the hound had a really complicated relationship throughout the game of Thrones. In that time l don't believe that Arya called him by his name, except at the end when Arya said thank you. A truly noble moment.
The Hound knew how terrible the world truly was. He hated fighting for the Lannister's, hated the King, Cersei, etc. But he did it because he has nothing to care for, nobody he admired. But I think he saw something in both the Stark girls. He saw a fighting spirit, and loyalty towards their family. I think in his own way he genuinely had a fatherly love for both of them, but especially to Arya. And his role in protecting and mentoring Arya ultimately was pivotal in helping her to survive long enough for her to go on to become an assassin and learn the skills she needed in order to defeat the Night King.
I fucking loved in the battle of Winterfell when Sandor was having a panic attack because of all the fire, all it took was seeing Arya in danger to snap him out of it. He did a full on Molly Weasley. "Not my daughter you bitch!" And then his next scene was standing right next to a flaming sword. There are only two things stronger then his fear of fire; his hatred for his brother and his love for Arya. He also rode through fire at the red wedding to save her.
Sandor really was a father figure to Arya, whether she knew it or not. Her outward appearance reflected her Northern heritage that resembled Ned and Jon, but her persona was so very similar to The Hound's. It's really obvious when she got back to Westeros, the scene in the pub where she sees Hot Pie again. She totally emulates Clegane in that scene, and almost every one after that when she acts like a hard killer. I think their story arc ended perfectly this way. Bittersweet. Thank you for this video. You've managed to make me cry. Again.
Another reason why GOT was so good, was the journey we went on with Sandor and Arya and at the end we see finally the love they have for each other in a father and daughter relationship, where he goes totally against his nature and tells her to go and thus live, when he knows his end is to follow his curse of finally having revenge on his brother.
He is not a good and he is not a villain . He is something beetwin of all that. He dont win anything to help to fight whiteworkers . He never take a reward because the people fear and hate him not only because his brother and because the scars on his face. He is a tragic character and he have only one perpose to kill that monster his brother. And the end help Arya to survive . RIP Sandor
Sandor 'THE HOUND' Clegane; probably has the best character development throughout the series. Loved this character. Arya & Sandor is truly the most beautiful relationship in GoT. PS: Sandor loved Arya more than chicken.
arya calling him "Sandor" at ep 5 was so profoundly moving. It surprised the viewing audience just as it shocked the Hound himself. I wish he had said more to her but he was always a man of few words. He will be missed, and I hope Arya pays tribute to him in the last episode.
Not the father she wanted, but the father she needed to survive in that world.
So true
He was always the dark knight, wasn't he? him and Jaime
and a good friend.
I could not agree more .....Sandor was I feel the biggest influence on Arya in all the mentors she had. She also really liked her water dancer/ sword teacher Serio .....Not today 🔪😏
honestly, sandor seemed too understand her more so than Ned

This was the only good ending of the rubbish season 8 conclusion.
I so agree, “Sandor thank you” was the perfect response,the series was almost saved by the acknowledgement of her forgiving her saviour Sandor.
Never thought like this. Wow ❤️
RG O your post is the best and says everything in a short post. 👏👏👏

The most poignant and touching moment of the whole series was when Arya called out to the Hound using his real name. One word - " Sandor ." So much was said with that one word.
In my country when someone calling you by your name it means that you are not a stranger to him.
That was a rough moment. He prolly hadnt been called his name in forever. The hound was one if not my favorite character. Toss up between him and Tormund
i love Hound. He deserved better.😢

The only story and character development they didn’t fuck up, loved this scene.
cersei and jaime was perfect, jaime and brienne was perfect, tyrion and pod, etc, etc, etc. stop crying like a baby
tuanistico Exactly “was” is the key word here and I can clearly tell you are one of those lame binge watchers that barely started watching the show.
tuanistico No? Jaime/Cersei wasn't well written since season 7 🙄 god, they fxcked up Jaime's development so much, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau told them Jaime would never act like, for example, whole season 7. But it was okay since he got away from Cersei at the end. But then his ending in season 8... JUST BAD. And of course at the end that makes Jaime/Brienne badly written too.

He fought to save Arya, he fought to save the world, he fought to save himself but most importantly he fought to eat every chicken in the building. RIP Clegane :*(
I'm having a bucket of fried chicken in his memory. 🍗
He also saved Sansa from getting raped. He would have taken her safely to River Run.
@@Emanuela9 Bring me one of those chickens.

He eat all the chicken in kings landing before confronting his brother.

The closest thing to 'I love you' that will come out of Sandors mouth
I’m sitting right now like this 🥹 cause maaannnnnn !!!
Arya may have put hound in her list.. But she put sandor in her heart ❤️
One of the best bonding in the show ❤️
Spectacular duo!!!!
Yeah, real friends. That last scene together was the best.
When Arya realized that it was Sandor that saved Sansa from getting raped in King's Landing she must have had a spot in her heart for him for what he did.
Amen!
I say the same.
BOTH the Stark girls owe their lives to Sandor Clegane. (And you could see they both knew this and deeply cared for him as a result).
They had the best relationship in GOT. They were such a good duo and they cared about each other so much. I'm gonna miss this father/daughter pair because that is what I think Sandor became to her. I honestly think he knew her better than anyone else at this point, he was there when she changed into what she is today, he fully understands it and he fully accepted it.

I like your opinion. +1 from Thailand
He was hate filled and both physically and mentally scarred from a young age.He saw a younger version of himself in arya and he clearly didnt want her to go down the path he had.
Agreed, great pairing. However, I still like Sansa and Theon better. These are a close second.
Hopefully Witcher will live up to this with Geralt and Ciri
Sansa and Theon, Jaime and Tyrion, Jon and Ygritte. Dany and Ser Jorah, Bronn and the Lannisters... there have been quite a few amazing bonds in this show
But yeah this one had to be my favorite
He died in flames with his brother. Two of his biggest fears were conquered at once.
He conquered his fear of fire when he fought the priest with the burning sword
@@_space.monkey I would have to disagree because when he gets bit by that guy in season 4 and Arya wants to clean his wound he shouts “ NO FIRE”.
I love that line by Tormund: “I don’t think you’re really mean, you’ve got sad eyes”
kinda summed him up as a whole character with that one
My favorite line too... Thanks!

Sandor saved Arya's life more times than she'll ever know.
The emotion I felt when she called him Sandor is hard to describe. The relationship between these two was so well done, so unique and really hard to put into words.
Pura pura verdade...
Verdade amiga , choro muito nessa cena
Sandor and Theon. Two brilliantly done character arcs. Amazing work by the actors
One word for two men: REDEMPTION...
Theon had a chance for redemption in S7, and seeing his death in S8 felt a little underwhelming TBH. But Sandor's redemption felt more real, more compelling. We see him create bonds with the Stark girls, the Brotherhood, Tormund, Brienne, even with the septon of that little community.
Nah man. Theon was pretty irrelevant in the entirety of the series.
What about Jaimie
Then deserved 45% of what was done to him.
Sandor was an Angel in the Shape of a Beast. He will be missed Dearly Infact every GOT fan would miss him.
So say we all.
Holy shit that's accurate.
Arya is the angel in my heart. Riding off on that white horse was epic.
Well said. Exactly.
This duo is the most poetic in any TV series ever. A hound watching over a wolf pup. Being mean and truthful for her own benefit until she realizes how good of a person he truly is. He is the only one who understood how the world worked and for that he was so blunt and seemed hateful. Their last scene together gives me chills everytime.

It truly is.
I agree with you.
It should have been Jaime and Brienne, but they went ahead and effed that one up.

Except in S8 he was into Arya, not Sansa 🤷♀️

He went out in a badass way which is more than can be said for other characters; he conquered his fear of fire AND he accomplished his life's goal of beating/killing his older brother. There was nothing left for him to do after that.
@@blakeforce2672 That's like a Disney ending. It doesn't always work out that way and even if it did, Sandor's storyline is finished. There's literally nowhere else it can go. Him dying the way he did was the best possible way to go out, on a "high". Letting him live would've defeated the speech he gave Arya about revenge, especially since both knew once they went down that path there was no turning back.
he is my favorite character but this is the best way to end his story
"I fought for you, didn't I?"
I loved these two characters together. I don't think Sandor could have existed in the world once Gregor was dead, he'd have nothing left to do. But did all he could to keep Arya from dying there.
Literally best 2 characters of the whole season, it shows how hard sad strong people can be nice and caring for others even if it causes their whole life . Sandor and Arya was the best bond in the whole show ❤️ sandor will always be remembered, atleast he died happily.
The very best of best character(s) duo’s. If Sandor had lived he would’ve joined Arya in her quest to the west.
This is so perfect im tearing up aahhdh they were seriously such a perfect duo, their scenes were always brilliant to watch. I’m so glad they got a proper good ending with that last “Sandor, thank you.” He really need that, it shows he really did make up for all the bad he did and he is deserving of respect and thanks, so when he died killing his brother he died in peace.
Through action,a man becomes a hero.
Through death,a hero becomes a legend.
Through time,a legend becomes a Myth.
unreal job, this 5 minutes was better than the whole season
Sandor Clegane had such a poetic death. He died paying back to his brother exactly what he did to him. Jumping in what's terrified him the most, all his life. AMAZING
It was so touching when he said „you want to be like me?“ Knowing you destroyed yourself bc of your heartless brother...he was so self- sacrificing. He did so much for others and the last thing was what he did for himself taking out his monster brother... arya and the hound were just perfect together. He knew arya has a soft heart just like him. Great video
I watch these clips and get an instant reminder that this was simply the best TV series ever 👍
It was, until it wasn’t
Interesting that I didn't shed a tear watching episode 5 and his death tough I really love Hound. But I'm crying now. Thank you for such an emotional tribute for one of the best character in the GoT
Same
This is the only youtuber that's ever made me cry. Twice now with this one, and the other was the Arya/Brienne tribute.
Me too....
Very nice compilation. Arya's time with Sandor taught her that he never bothered to lie about what he was, or try to ingratiate himself to anyone. It was how she learned to trust in the signs that she began to see, that he respected her and even came to care for her in his way. Sandor had an ocean of pain behind his wall of anger. His expression, his words when the buried the poor man and his daughter were such that it would not have been more powerful if he'd fallen to his knees and started bawling. We saw on more than one occasion that Sandor had a least something soft side for girls.
In the end, Sandor gave Arya everything he had left that wasn't vengeance.
Arya and Clegane ..one of the best team of GOT❤❤❤😢💪💪💪💪👍
I "rage quit" that chapter when he "dies" after Brienne... He was my favorite character.
I remember how HAPPY i was on that 6th season chapter when i saw that hands chopping wood, i knew its him before the camera focus on his face.
His story arc along with Arya is without any doubs, the best of GOT, i love that even D&D cant destroy this develop of this two characters. That last scene was just PERFECT, nothing more and nothing less than perfect.
Beautiful. They were such a great pair. He protected the Stark girls and earned his redemption when he wasn't even trying. Another stunning video.
Their writing was like the only ones the writers couldn't destroy.... best duo I can recall in tv history.
Best men of the seven kingdoms !
Thank you and rest in peace Sandor 🖤
He's at a pub in Northern Ireland you know 🍺
If you told me in 2011 that Sandor would become one of my favourite characters, and that I'd eventually shed tears when he dies, I would never have believed it.
(Beautifully-edited video, btw!)
I have to repeat some of these comments, this is one of the best videos I've seen of Arya and Sandor's relationship. Father/daughter or BFFs, he loved her and she loved him as they each were and grew to become. I can't call him "The Hound" anymore because he honestly, truly wasn't in the end.
The poetry woven throughout this show pierces even the hardest of hearts. Very moving. The hound is my favorite character out of all the great performances that took part in this series because even though he may play one of the toughest, hardest and meanest roles on the show..... beneath all that hides just another human with vulnerabilities born outve hardships; and once every so often he uncovers his humanity for a brief moment that exposes his kindness and the conflict within him.
I am going to watch this entire series again just to see and feel this relationship again. Pretty much the best and most comprehensive character arc in the whole series.
His character development was beautiful and not trashed in the end like some others. Well played, well played indeed.
That tribute made me feel a lot better about the last episode. I was devastated to see him go, but as with most deaths, the show had a great story to go with it and everything fit.
Holy shit you are stupid for gobbling up the shit writing that has been served to you by Dumb & Dumber. Have fun living your life with shit taste.
@@thepainkiller4939 I have fun living, thank you very much.
@@bitzibaerlie Dumbass
Agreed! Although season 8 had its dissapointments, they did most characters justice.
I'm having a rough time right now, so maybe I'm a bit more emotional than usual, but ... that 'thank you' at the end parks some tears,
Sandor is a good example of those google who are truly google but they act tough to show the world they aren't soft but tough in the actual sense they are lambs inside, so loving and caring. They know their vulnerability and they are afraid to show it for it might be used against them. Arya and Sandor best duo ❤️💙
OK, we can argue about who comes close, but there can be no denying Arya Stark and Maisie Williams, the actress who played her is by far the most badass character in TV history. This tribute was amazing.
He might not be the father she wanted or deserved, but he was the father she needed. Thanks to the Hound she is alive
Her "thank you" was the sincerest I've ever heard
I don’t watch GoT but Sandor Clegane was always my favorite character. He’s a man that’s done many bad things but deep down, he’s a good person who loves Arya like his own daughter.❤️
Beautifully edited. It was probably the most unique relationship in the whole series.
I love Sandor Clegane, he was one of the best character in the show. He holds a special part in my heart. ❤️
E no meu!
that end scene with sandor and arya, gets me every time, so beautiful and powerful, dang it, dang them onions haha
Him putting his hands on her in such a caring way was the best part of their entire time together. He made her know he cared for her. The hound was great.
"I just understand the way things are" That will forever be the best line from Sandor..
The best duo ever! Thank you arya and clegane!❤❤❤
Arya never listened to anyone but Sandor & she did listen to him, returned in the end & thanked him before he left, it was one of the best moments of season 8 as there weren’t many but this certainly was ♥️
They’re definitely the best duo of this series. The unconventional frenemies/ foster family they both didn’t know that they needed.
He gave her a new perspective on the world that helped her survive it... she gave him a chance to feel human again though she started out with hate, because despite of or maybe inspite of her hate, she was the first person who didn’t shy away or got scared of looking at him and more than that she had the nerve to justify her hatred and tell him as she looked him in the eye she’d kill him someday. All his life owing to his appearance people avoided looking at him as much as they could or only cared for the fear they could employ by using his skills. He had been feared and he had been employed for who he was... but worse than that he was reduced to feeling like and being considered a beast, a dog...
Arya’s hate was a refreshing change for him because despite not meaning to, not even knowing that she was doing it she was humanizing him just by being herself around him and not being afraid of him.
In the end as she called him Sandor, it wasn’t just because she wanted to thank him... but because she knew that the Hound was dead... Arya’s killed the Hound and the man who loved her enough to make sure she lived was in fact really Sandor Clegane.
Their relationship was the best thing about this series.
Great chemistry between these 2 from start to finish.One of the best bonds formed in game of thrones.The hound always saw a younger version of himself in arya which is why he liked her so much
It broke my heart when he said "I fought for you." And she called him Sandor. Fuckin great video.
Arya and the hound had a really complicated relationship throughout the game of Thrones. In that time l don't believe that Arya called him by his name, except at the end when Arya said thank you. A truly noble moment.
Outstanding edit
RIP Hound my favorite character, always kept it real.
I'll eat to that 🍗
That image of Sandor staring down his brother while Drogon flies past is the best
The Hound knew how terrible the world truly was. He hated fighting for the Lannister's, hated the King, Cersei, etc. But he did it because he has nothing to care for, nobody he admired. But I think he saw something in both the Stark girls. He saw a fighting spirit, and loyalty towards their family. I think in his own way he genuinely had a fatherly love for both of them, but especially to Arya.
And his role in protecting and mentoring Arya ultimately was pivotal in helping her to survive long enough for her to go on to become an assassin and learn the skills she needed in order to defeat the Night King.
One of the best tandem of the series!
I fucking loved in the battle of Winterfell when Sandor was having a panic attack because of all the fire, all it took was seeing Arya in danger to snap him out of it. He did a full on Molly Weasley.
"Not my daughter you bitch!"
And then his next scene was standing right next to a flaming sword.
There are only two things stronger then his fear of fire; his hatred for his brother and his love for Arya.
He also rode through fire at the red wedding to save her.
Sandor really was a father figure to Arya, whether she knew it or not. Her outward appearance reflected her Northern heritage that resembled Ned and Jon, but her persona was so very similar to The Hound's. It's really obvious when she got back to Westeros, the scene in the pub where she sees Hot Pie again. She totally emulates Clegane in that scene, and almost every one after that when she acts like a hard killer. I think their story arc ended perfectly this way. Bittersweet.
Thank you for this video. You've managed to make me cry. Again.
Another reason why GOT was so good, was the journey we went on with Sandor and Arya and at the end we see finally the love they have for each other in a father and daughter relationship, where he goes totally against his nature and tells her to go and thus live, when he knows his end is to follow his curse of finally having revenge on his brother.
He is not a good and he is not a villain . He is something beetwin of all that. He dont win anything to help to fight whiteworkers . He never take a reward because the people fear and hate him not only because his brother and because the scars on his face. He is a tragic character and he have only one perpose to kill that monster his brother. And the end help Arya to survive . RIP Sandor
Sergio p A Dark Knight perhaps?
He’s a Warrior and will protect himself and those he cares about in any way he can
@Erik silva a dark knight, yes...somewhere between chaotic neutral and chaotic good
When I read "Thank you" part of me wanted this to be a Arya and Hound montage with the Golden Girls theme playing in the background.
Arya looked like a scared little girl again when Sandor held her head, incredible acting. I’ll miss these two.
Great compilation 👍
I loved this video gets me everytime , Sandor loved Arya more then he loved himself. 💔💔💔
Excellent edit!
Sandor 'THE HOUND' Clegane; probably has the best character development throughout the series. Loved this character. Arya & Sandor is truly the most beautiful relationship in GoT.
PS: Sandor loved Arya more than chicken.
These two had amazing chemistry. They became the main reason I kept watching it.
Always get goosebumps watching your videos...
This story arc was my favorite of the entire show. I loved their characters and the actors that portrayed them. Truly amazing.
So many great storylines woven into this show but Sandor was indeed one of my favorites.
Behind the huge strong killing man there's a soft heart. Sandor is one of the great characters, the funniest too.
Arya and Sandor could of been a movie all to itself!! Awesome tribute!!
Probably my favorite duo.
arya calling him "Sandor" at ep 5 was so profoundly moving. It surprised the viewing audience just as it shocked the Hound himself. I wish he had said more to her but he was always a man of few words. He will be missed, and I hope Arya pays tribute to him in the last episode.
My two favorite characters put together..
This guy deserves so much more....
