Dolorous Edd is the only character that WILL a happy ending. No bitter sweet BS for my guy, he gets a harem of angels and feasts of beef, cheese, and fresh bread. I'll riot otherwise. I'll burn down a country every day.

I have to say, of all the ASOIAF channels, I am so confused as to how your channel is not WWWAAAYYY larger as far as subs go. It’s an absolutely amazing channel, and your personality just makes even more enjoyable. Keep up the work!

I think Jamie might volunteer if he could get a firey hand to replace his missing one

Dolerus Edd is the true prophet of ASOIAF. It is known.

Ach, Dolorous Edd's monologs. People should listen to him more! Ed truly reads like he's lived through the past 5 years - when no matter how darkly you joke, wait just a bit and it turns out to be real life somehow 😖

Could definitely see Jaime and/or Brienne being fire-wighted after facing Lady Stoneheart. Question is, will she pass on the last kiss herself, or will Thoros step in again? Plus, if she's heard about "Arya's" wedding at Winterfell, that could be the impetus for Jaime/Brienne to go north, since they currently seem to lack such a motivation in the books. Timing-wise, could this happen concurrent with the Battle of Ice? Would this allow Brienne to confront Stannis like she did in the show? So many questions, so many plots.....GRRM we're counting on you.

This was super interesting. The Burned Men parallels are quite something. Now, I’ll have to think on it more. Best part of these videos. Keeps us thinking. 🔥

The name Beric may be related to Burak or Baraq, a word of Semitic origin meaning lightning. And the surname Dondarrion may be related to the Dutch word donder meaning thunder.

Watching twice because that's what heros do. Have fun on vacation David.

So, my guesses were all mentioned, but maybe Theon.

I am honoured to announce that this is my first time waiting for a new LML video after having watched all of the videos on this channel over the last two years.

The NW vows changed at some point, adding the no wife, no sons part, right? If that was after the LN, was it because they changed from literal blood/life sacrifices pre-NK to figurative blood/life sacrifices post-LN? The new Fire NW seems like it would also satisfy this apparent blood/life sacrifice requirement. Have a wonderful vacation!

How long until this becomes a 8 video trilogy.

I gotta admit "Light his own Sword" sounds kinda like an innuendo for self pleasure to me.

@DavidLightbringer -- When you mentioned Melisandre's sex magic, the first thing that popped into my mind was "make love, not war", which was a commonly used phrase in GRRM's life during the Vietnam War. So I'm apt to believe this may turn out to be true in some aspect.

That chapter George removed about Tyrion going to meet the stone king, or whatever the greyscale leader is called, always made me think of Tyrion meeting a ice wighted (evil) John. And somehow freeing him. Always wondered if that was a foreshadowing scene.

Hey 🙂 love this video I wanted to comment from my perspective as a blademsith. Lml, you point out that when lit on fire, Valyrian steel will probably hold up far better than standard steel. Well this is true even in the real world perspective. Magic aside, common steel will start getting softer, even just a bit, at 350-400°f but there are advanced steels developed through complexe technological process like CPM M4 that have extreme edge holding and toughness and that maintain their hardness past 700°F. So a sword made of that steel could handle being lit on fire even for a little while. Whereas a medieval steel sword would sustain irreversible damages after 2 or 3 minutes. I don't know if George did his research, but if he didn't, he guessed right

Beric may have also been an aspect of Azor Ahai... I get the feeling that resurrection is playing a huge part in every long night and Azor Ahai reborn. Even before watching this video I was doing much research on ASOIAF and got the strong feeling that these are all the same people being reborn throughout the centuries. Such good writing from GRRM, it's almost unbelievable.

Excellent Stuff ! Really pulling to see WUN WUN the FUN an FIRE FILLED ONE ! that would be epic and SO SIKED your doing an what if about Jaime/Brienne/Lady Stoneheart ! I I'm here for that !

I was born to rule the seven kingdoms and I will. 🐉🐲🐉

Nailed it

We could've had a sarcastic fire zombie in the show. Never forget what D&D stole from us.

Love the cover art, can't wait for this next installment of the Mel series. So 🔥🔥🔥

best youtuber makes best video what else is new

I guess Ghost could become a fire Wright after he dies for Jon.

This was one of my favorites, so far. Very compelling and concise. Good job!

I don't know if anyone's said this but you're one of the best youtubers just because you give art credit all the time.

"Mully" may also refer to "mullein" - a highly flammable plant used as candle wicks or torches. Mullein is also known as "candlewick plant" or "torches."

Just found your channel, completely filled the void I have of new game of thrones content. Looking forward to chosen of rhllor!

The video production on this rivals and exceeds so many of the other great asoiaf youtubers you should be super proud of this. Be kind to yourself too get that rest in where you can!

Are we saying that the night's watch was originally made up of firewights? Makes sense

5:42 I choked on my cereal so hard. The little inserts of humour you randomly put in your videos absolutely crack me up

Loving this series, praise R'hllor!

watching you go through the symbolism of timmett and beric and the nights watch and the scarecrows (etc. etc.) makes me understand why it takes so long for GRRM to write his books.

You need create a Powered by Rhollor tshirt

Great content as usual!

10:18 "a gaunt man with filed teeth" Shelly! What I tell you about them damn skissherz?!

Another excellent video. I know this is kinda off topic (maybe I'm wrong) but I was wondering if you've ever discussed the wildlings jumping off the staircase at Castleblack? I was watching one of your older videos and in it you mention the scene and how you were going to discuss it and it's symbolism in a later video.

Omg,I love this so much..."A scarecrow of a man...the scarecrow knight" a lot going on there!Love it!I should've popped popcorn!!!!Nice work!!!

Loved your RHCP shirt! Great band, for great books.

Listening to you is so soothing, like listening to poetry! Thanks for produsing such amazing videos! Love that you conect all the dots for me!

Season 2 Tyrion: you can't fuck your way out of everything Future Mel: just watch me

Love your videos and how you identify the symbolism throughout the series. Really appreciate the amount of thought and effort you put into making the videos. I'll be looking out for your Atlantis book :P

Great video loved it

Thankyou for making these vids :)

So stoked for this video ♥️🧡🔥🧡♥️

This series is quite literally giving me life. Great stuff man!

Very well done. Totally worth the wait.

Finally Part 4! only been waiting a month lol the last 5 part series you did got me hoping this one would come out sooner. However your videos are always worth the wait so i dont mind too much ;)

Great information and theories! Your editing is impeccable! Thank you! 🔥🔥

Caught a little of this live but back for the whole thing! Love the content! I’ve been training for a marathon and listening to your whole library helps the miles roll by

great content, you deserve as much exposure as Quinn. Quinn was always my favorite Sci-fi/Fantasy/ASOIAF KZfaqr but your content is definitely as good even though you both focus on entirely different aspects. also great move changing your name, it's insane that that kind of thing can decrease your exposure but it probably has, keep going man, peace.

I'm loving your channel. Been binging it for this whole month. You deserve more subs! I rarely leave comments but you deserve all the "engagement" my dude!

The videoseries you did over the last year are so well done, I can't tell which one is my favorite. Great use of artwork, the effects, the jokes and most important the densely argumentation. Thank you so much!

I sacrifice this comment to the Flames! May it fuel this video and receive many views for the night is dark and full of terrors! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This was one of the best videos I have seen on the channel lately.

Thank you! Good job!

Ah, 1 year ago..this is now vintage Lightbringer👍

Great video as always- I learn something new every time I watch your videos 👍🏻🤩

Great video. I had just learned about The Order of the Greenhand's video series about Catelyn Stark's absolute evil nature and I found it hilarious.

Narration, editing, theories *chefs kiss* 👌🏻

Good catch on the flint barracks, first time of the naming. Only half way through but good enough time to say thank you comrade for the content.

How dare you make more awesome content about our favorite fire witch!

Always interested in more chapter readings

Loved it

Maybe Melisandre will glamour herself to look like Ygritte, since she says the whole “you know nothing jon snow” and jon sees himself killing her. She may think that will be how he transforms, by killing what he sees as his nissa nissa. And if shes a fire being, she’d light up his sword with her death.

Thank you, LML!

HBO should have cast Flea for a part in "GoT." With all the talk of cutting off manhoods throughout the story, his acting experience would have fit the cast perfectly. Plus, he just kind of looks like a dude you might see skulking around the back alleys of King's Landing probably working up some kind of shady, money-making scheme. Which I mean as a compliment.

God I love this stuff! I’m so glad I found your channel I completely vibrate on the same wavelength as you do, thanks David🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

These videos are fascinating! I like the way you’re interpreting Jon’s dreams in a way that moves the plot forward. I love the symbolism of the red hair; kissed by fire. I immediately thought of Sansa 👩🏻‍🦰

I'm so glad I've stumbled into this channel

I think i like the titles of the videos as much as the content of this channel

I reinstalled Mount and Blade: Warband specifically to play the World of Ice and Fire mod again because of you and Alt Shift X and your theories. I was pretty stale on ASOIAF after the last season of GoT and debating if I even wanted to read Winds when it comes out and haven't started Hot D yet but this has *ahem* rekindled (get it? Cuz fire?) my interest after these 3 years. A mighty feat considering these 3 years have each felt like they were a decade long. That earned you a sub.

was re reading Arya's Hollow Hill Chapter right before i watched !!!! Matrix is real !!!

Oh- and my vote is Definitely Doloros Edd as joining the Firey Watch!

I am really digging those shades. Are those spring loaded? I have some Dollgers that look similar. Keep up the amazing content dude! -Luis

Jon killed an OTHER named OTHOR?! How did I only just realise this?! 🤦🏾‍♂️ GRRM’s foreshadowing is undefeated

My screaming brain: ONE OF THE DRAGONS (probably Rhegal and not Vicerys) WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE IN THE NORTH!! HE'S GONNA BE A WHIGHTED DRAGON FOR JON TO RIDE!! IT'S GONNA BE EPIC!! My rational brain: Come on now, how's that supposed to happen? My screaming brain: ... You ask too many questions....

Great video as always!! Question, do you think the bloodstone emperor/azor ahai was a fire wight? And do you think the valyrians knew this magic of fire ressurection?

Yay 2 more!

Watching for my fourth time

With all of this repeated foreshadowing of future events, it’s a wonder it’s taking so long to finish. Is it possible all of the side work GRRM is doing is meant to flesh out the (his)story before he completes it? Incorporating the Silmarillion before he finishes as part and parcel of the whole.

You are the best asoiaf KZfaqr. Always original content and super interesting.

If Jon has LongClaw already, he shouldn’t need to light his sword at all…but in battle I could still see it being handy for secondary swords and weapons.

Tried mulled wine just the other day for the first time and I have to say it was amazing

Seeing the Soul of Cinder art has me hoping the Others haven't learned how to parry.

David, your zip-up hoodie is 🔥🔥🔥. Where may I purchase it?

I only have one question. If Valyrian Steel sword kills the others and dragon glass and fire kills wights then why do we need a flaming sword? I understand it's convenient. Why is it NEEDED? Just a thought. Love ya @David Lightbringer 🥰

This is an older video, but I thought I would still comment anyway because I had some interesting thoughts while watching, even though you may have thought of these ideas already. 1) The Night’s Watch Oath is “I give my life and honor to the Night’s Watch, for this night and all nights to come”. Giving their lives to the Night’s Watch makes the brothers thematically undead as you said. And taking “for this night and all nights to come” literally, that would only be possible if the brothers were undead immortals who could serve forever for all nights to come. Also, when Sam is at the Black Gate, he only says the second half of the oath. Which some people have said could mean the first half of the oath was not a part of the original Night’s Watch oath and was added later. This would exclude the “it shall not end until my death” line, leaving it open for the Night’s Watch to serve after death. 2) The line in the oath “I am the fire that burns against the cold” hints at the fiery nature of the Night’s Watch as fire wights. This line along with “I am the sword in the darkness”, “the light that brings the dawn”, and the vow to “take no wife”, equate the Night’s Watch with Lightbringer. 3) This idea is kind of out there, but… So in the video you said that the obsidian weapons given by the Children of the Forest may have been the weapons that the original Night’s Watch ignited with their blood. And that this may be the origin of the belief that glass candles can only be lit by blood from one’s hands. But if the original Night’s Watch wielded flaming obsidian weapons, then the weapons of the original Night’s Watch were literally GLASS CANDLES. Which could mean that the War for the Dawn was (and will be) a PSYCHIC battle fought on the astral plane as well as the material plane. The Night’s Watch being capable of remote viewing would definitely add to the idea of them being “watchers”. And the original Night’s Watch being astral-projecting glass candle sorcerers would tie into the Odin symbolism of the three known Lord Commanders (and parallel figures like Beric), and the berserker/ulfhednar references of Mormont and Jon in particular that you have talked about in other videos. Also, the Night’s Watch are metaphorically candles. That which are used to bring light in night and darkness. This idea has become a full on brain worm for me, and I am envisioning the Night’s Watch using flaming obsidian glass candle weapons to enter a trance state so their minds astral project to do psychic battle with the Others (alongside psychic tree wizard Bran of course), while their fight wight bodies enter a berserker battle fury to do physical battle with the army of the dead. Which honestly seems outlandish and fanfiction-y. Then again it might just fit with George’s other sci-fi work. But at this point I am half convinced that Sam will use a glass candle at some point to fight the Others. He already used obsidian to kill one Other and become Sam the Slayer. He is in close proximity to glass candles. The maester initiation ritual is spending a night trying (and failing) to light a glass candle. Sam lighting a glass candle and using it would pass and supersede the maester initiation, in a way fulfilling Sam becoming a maester. Again, brain worm. 4) I just like the symmetry between the Others being icy white shadows, and the Night’s Watch being fiery black shadows.

Reveals age and generation at RHCPs references

Ive been listening to the audiobooks, and am on chapter 44 of A Dance With Dragons, a Jon chapter, at the part that Jon first talks to Tyco and while talking about the wall Jon says its like nothing else on Earth. It made me recall that at one time at least, the name of the planet was unknown, but it seems to me its just Earth like our own. Is there a part that calls it something else?

Dolorous Edd. Or D.Edd. The clues in the name!

Dolores ed is one of my favorite characters for sure!

Rewatch binge 🎉

Dude... You should have been the showrunner for GOT

Lady Stoneheart or headless Rob Stark with the Hounds helmet

Cancel my last comment. Glad to see you're still making awesome content!

Looking carefully at the wording of the Night's Watch oath, I noticed something. It's not phrased as a vow, is it? It's a statement of fact. Maybe it means that the man of the Watch will not father children (hold lands, etc) because he is about to be converted into a fire wight. Maybe he's just supposed to give informed consent for the transformation about to take place, proving he understands all the implications. That makes me question the Night's King story. If the brothers were all fire wights, then the Night's King reaching some accord with the Others isn't so strange. Just undead foot soldiers from both sides realizing they have more in common with one another than their masters. He might have enslaved the fire wight men of the Watch using the same magic used by the Others to control the wights on their side. In that case, maybe the story of the Kings of Winter and the King Beyond the Wall uniting to overthrow the Night's King is also the story of when and why the Night's Watch switched to using living men, perhaps less vulnerable to magical compulsion and definitely less likely to find common cause with the Others. I fell out of watching these because the hour plus streams were too much for me. These short form videos are much better, and I'm glad I checked back!

This dude should write the last two books.

Mulled wine is so good, especially with pomegranate juice and cinnamon sticks.
