Omg, yes! It's my favorite GoT battle in the series because of how I felt while watching it. I was a nervous freaking wreck that night. Held my bed pillow like a scared little girl. 😩

Yes I watch that battle often

ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE EPISODES

Yes! And when the Night King raised all the dead and damn near tripled his army! I was like holy sh*t, how are they gonna defeat this guy!

Easily one of the best!

Yes but we know Jon would have won ,we never get the ending that is brainwashed into us during the events making it always a surprise, the girl with many faces was a pretty good choice and not expected till you saw her drop the knife then it was written, lol

@@frankorobinson1540 lol wtf.....Arya had NO business killing the night king other than idiots Dan and Dave's bad writing.

@@frankorobinson1540 Then Briyan or Theon would've been more shocking (for the retartds, at least) option to do the deed 🤦🏻‍♂️. Arya is the worst option to kill the Night King

@@amarnadh9701 maybe you should be a writer 🤔 see if they buy your story 😉

@@amarnadh9701 and what happen to the prophesy of Arya shutting the blue eyes forever?

That’s is actually something similar to what I came to Jon has the blood of the first men that has magic in their blood and his Targaryen blood makes Jon pretty powerful and could be different from all the white walkers.

Ya it was not to mention the camera work was amazing loved how it followd Jon through the chaos that was happening around him then there was that shot of the giant breaking out of the house.

100% agree! The first few seasons were so amazing, I often find myself tempted to rewatch, but I simply can't knowing what a disaster the last two season were. It actually hurts my brain thinking about how badly D&D botched it.

Riiight? I decided to rewatch. I started from season 1 through to season 7 halfway. But knowing the ending I was bound to face, I just lost interest.

"I know what it feel bro" never sound so realistic until now ....

Yep! It’s pretty pathetic. That’s feminism for you.

I absolutely agree. GOT could have easily been the best tv show of all time. It's heartbreaking how badly d&d screwed it up for no good reason. They rushed it to move on to their new projects, which they ended up losing anyway (because of the disaster that was season 8, if you ask me)

Totally agree 😏

Dan and Dave need to repent 😂

I would say they where not thinking at all but you are a nicer person.

@@ignaciomartegani I'd slightly disagree. They were thinking - except they were only thinking "how can we end this damn thing as fast as possible?". Absolute malfeasance on their part.

@@TalkingThrones Hey bro,I want to ask you when you would finish epilogue of S9 of your version of GoT,please I am waiting for over the 8 months,please do it soon,thank you🙌

Let's hope that when the book is written that he surprises us with some of this....I myself would be thrilled to read it!!! 👍

@@angelafahlenkamp9311 For a lot of different reasons, I highly doubt the book series will ever be finished.

Arya shouldn't have killed the night king at all. It had nothing to do with her arc. And we never actually saw her become this "great" warrior. Fighting with a stick doesn't make you an expert at knife throwing suddenly.

Ice boy 😝😝😝😝

Facts. Arya mentioning her list of names to kill in many episodes just to kill 1 or 2 names from her list 😂

She wasn’t just any little girl.

SJW writers

Well that was one of the most disappointing moments in the show an especially season 8 totally no sence

@@susanrsmith3701 'she' was nobody.

ummm... well Arya was the biggest badass in the show, IMO, and it wasn't just a stab, it was a sneak attack from an assassin with a dagger of dragonglass...who was saving her crippled brother from being killed... as soon as she started her 'dancing lessons' with Syrio Forel, I knew she was going to be a character to watch... this is the first time that I did NOT read the books beforehand, and didn't even have GOT on my radar until the near end of the 3rd season (in real time). I think I saw maybe 30 minutes of one of the episodes and was hooked. Binged all of them from the start the next day. It still gives me the same feeling when I rewatch it, although I only have until season 4 on bluray, which is when it started getting really good. I have always liked the time period, with the lords and ladies and such. *edit* just read the comments, and realised that Arya's dagger was Valerian steel, and not dragonglass. I haven't watched the latter seasons as much as I have watched the first 4, since I own them. I have craptastic interwebs, else I would try to watch on some other site. it is what it is, that is why I own copies. Never got around to buying the entire set, as it came out shortly after I got the ones I have..

Number 1 for me

@@TalkingThrones Oh most definetly. Foreshadowed for 8 years then 💩

Honestly if they was going to do this they should of had him kill the dragon at least when it had him pinned down

No one wants a predictable series i loved the ending not what i expected but thats the point. Although i agree that the whitewalkers should've been given more action.

That would have been awesome

I know all those Valerian steels were wasted on Wights.

Lol, we only got a lousy stab... Been waiting all the seasons.. It's like cumming in 2 seconds.

Totally

Yes absolutely that's the reason

The WW that Jon killed at Hardhome looked so surprised when Longclaw didn't break. That tells us that the NK & Co. didn't know how to recognize Valyrian steel, and perhaps feared that it might have other magical powers. Everyone else in the show immediately said, "That's Valyrian steel" the second they laid eyes on a sword or dagger made of it. (That might've just been for exposition in the show, but VS is also visually recognizable in the books.)

I like that

With Valyrian steel,a little scratch on the night king would have ruined the series

You just did a way better job with that story line than D and D!

Arya is trash. Tired of you people’s fanfic for her. Her character ruined the show like the writers did.

Yeah that a, good way to go

Except Jon is a dragon. Raised to think he was a wolf, but by the logic of the show he was a dragon (and should have been white haired)

@@cmegens no… he is half dragon, half wolf… he has the blood of old Valeria as well as the blood of the First Men… the fire and the ice ☺️ His father is a Targaryen, his mother is a Stark

@@djsecAUS Exactly

@Sally H and his aunt needs him he didn’t need his aunt to have a claim for the thrown but he would’ve needed her army maybe but I feel like he could’ve United the realm but her army would be helpful in ending it quicker

@@djsecAUS Jon is a Wolf with Dragon's blood because he acts like a stark and has a heart of one

Me too I was very ok with it

You put more thought and effort into that theory than Dan and Dave did.

It sucked idk what you’re talking about

I agree, each had their own part to play.

He knew Jon had a strong chance at killing him at the very least so he didn’t want to risk it

Why would a frozen ice zombie fear a puny human

The last part is probably right, to bring Dany and kill her.

Jon was returned by blood magic ..but if we are to believe in the lord of light then yes he was brought back to get Danny and her dragons north and then the last human threat to mankind itself was actually Dany and her dragons. Jon was one of the few who could kill her

Part of me thinks that Bran is the lord of light, hear me out here: Bran is the Night King's target, light is the opposing force of darkness. The lord of light's messages (while mininterpreted) have been based around building a strong force against the night king (and the lannisters/boltons via Stannis), Bran is capable of manipulating the past to effect future outcomes. Jon is kinda Brans chosen Hero, Jon is also seen as Azor Ahai (champion of the lord of light). Blood Magic is a core component involved with both Bran/old gods and the lord of light. We know that Bran becomes king, we can also reasonably conclude that he has to some extent been playing the game of thrones to do so, the last target in his way was Dany, killed by Jon (Brans Chosen hero) which is ultimatly the action that leads him to become king. Cerci eats her own words "play the game of thrones, you win or you die" She (Lannisters) failed to kill Bran and ultimatly loses to Bran, the kid who played the game so well nobody even knew he was playing. IMO its a theory that matches the theme of ASOIAF, brings alot of threads together whilst tieing up loose ends and brings the story full circle.

@@The1Bendotcom woah.

@@The1Bendotcom The Night King didn't see Aria fight. Aria, representing the God of Death, as 'all things must die.' John may be Bran's chosen fighter to lead the armies well, but it was never hinted that Bran ever had his focus on what Aria was learning, and I found it interesting as Bran infers to Sansa that he knew what Sansa had endured, and this is where David and Dan rather pulled a fast one. If Bran was watching Past, Present and Future, playing the Game of Thrones, Bran would have been well aware of Aria's talents and her being groomed by Jaquin, Serio and the God of Death/Lord of Light. Bit of foreshadowing when you think back to watching Ned Stark's face when Aria first started sword training in Kings Landing... Ned had trained Jon, he never watched him train and displayed that 'Whoa!' Look on his face... if you think back, what was Jaquin Hagar doing in Kings Landing? He would have been aware of Ned making inquiries and easily could have placed the Bravosi Dancing Master into Ned's path for Aria. It would also tie in why Jaquin stayed close during Aria's trek from Kings Landing, teaching her to place her kills better while at Harrenhal, and even allowing her to leave the House of Black and White with that little smile he gave. If Jaquin had only wanted her for the House of Black and White, he would have deterred her earlier and known she was lying when she said she was truly No One! I think Jaquin may have also been a better student of the Lord of Light (Like Serio Florel) and been honing her for the true fight... her eventual ability to surprise and kill the Night King. The Stark blood ran as strongly in Aria as Jon, (Aria was likened to her aunt Lissana, also Jon's mother) and as the Night King was directly related to the Starks (both descended from the First Men), it is then less of a surprise when Aria kills the Night King. Jon was a better Strategist, Aria the Knife in the Night, taking out the primary target to end legions of future deaths by the Night King. Bran used both, and Melissandre did her part when she reminded Aria she was to close Blue eyes forever as well. I mean, didn't you ever wonder why Bran never alluded to checking on the sister he was closest in age, and as to why she was better at Bows and Arrows than he was at almost the same age even though she was never properly trained like Ned's own sons? Knight King, I mean, really, he was a Knight for Death, as proper title of KNIGHT could have been lost over eons to become 'NIGHT' King and who better to kill him than the girl trained to tell Death "Not Today!"

I would’ve just ended the series five minutes before the end of that episode. Right at the time where Theon charges the Night King. Let everyone come up with there own theories about how it ends. Leave everyone waiting for Winds of Winter and a Dream of Spring or that (canceled) Long Night spin-off to get a better idea of what the actual deal was with the Night King. Instead we got Arya saves the world and the rest of season 8, no further explanation on the Night King and the WhiteWalkers and no word of any real progress on Winds in years and the fan community has all but fizzled out except for those waiting for a spin-off based on a known historical period that we already have two different accounts on.

They couldve even incorporated something like them having to discrat his warg animals so some of the other characters can fight him in combat that way it gives them a small chance as the more they distract the warged animal the less focus he'd have on the main characters but it would still be a fair fight as the night king is the night king and he gets to warg into 1 or more animals making it more even instead of a straight 5v1

Brilliant man! I would have ended the show similarly, but with betrayal after betrayal, and an end with the Game of Thrones ongoing, because the political battles never end, and revenge always produces an endless cycle of retribution. -Daenarys maimed by Arya/Sansa team up, with retreat to the North -Jon sits on the Throne, visually scarred, and somewhat jaded dispirited remaining loyal and noble… and war with the North is looking likely, with multiple players within the realm gunning for that spot as well -The Night King is beaten, and weakened, but not dead - Bran remains in the North, but omenously sees something that shows it’s only going to get worse from here Bran should be above seeking material gain/the throne I personally would have liked to see something like Powers shifting, complete character 180s, and some Darth Sansa/Darth Arya vs Dark Jon/Self Righteous Daeny vs 1-2 Well written groups and a Night King rising again… the cycle of hero, war, triumph, and betrayal never ending

@@michaelbonhomme3677 we dont know bran wanted the throne but its the best option when you look at what happens when a successor wants the throne, bran being king makes sense, someone who will love to be hundred to thousands of years old can see almost anything and can warg into animals in a technical sense it makes sense I dont think its about being materialistic but whats best for the kingdoms this way bran knows if anyone is trying to overthrow him and most importantly why they would want to do something like that and he's also then best prepared to deal or brace for threats way in advance bran being king really does make sense

D&D: It'll be easy! Barely an inconvenience!

It’s amazing and bittersweet to see that Fans are still upset about that payoff to this day. I agree. There should’ve been at least 1on1 fight. Hell it could’ve happened there at Winterfell before Jon ran into the Ice Dragon chasing him. I don’t understand what the hell the show runners, producers, writers, & Director was thinking.

You said it perfectly 💯

@@kb.9651 They were focused on pushing a feminist agenda. Just like when they had Brienne of Tarth beat the hound.

We were betrayed by the writers on so many levels...

The producer were so thoughtful of the show, if they had fought, there was no way Jon snow won't win and don't forget he owns a Valerian steel sword and that only mean one thing for the Night King, he can't stand Jon Snow sword, hence the reason why they avoided their fight. Believe me the producers were smart, and Arya being the unsung hero killing the the Night King brings in her value which she accumulated over her years of sojourn and training, so I wasn't pained cos Arya also deserve to be the killer. But nonetheless JON SNOW and NIGHT KING fight would have been epic regardless.

The majority of the final season ruined my whole perception of the Series as a whole. I'm a GOT fanatic from the start of season 1, but how they ended the last season and the satisfaction they robbed us of made me drop GOT from my all time favorite series. It just sucks to this day that after damn near 9 years of waiting to see what happens in the end, they gave us what they did. It's still disappointing to this day.

Dragon glass kills the army of the dead too not just whitewalker

Lyanna Mormont killed the giant with dragon glass as her last great defiance!

Right.

Nah lol

The Night King had one goal only, he wasn't about to delay it or risk Bran getting away, he wanted to get to his objective as quickly as possible

but jon should have started the fight with the nightking

I didn't recognize it because Bran made clear he had no interest in becoming a king or even a lord.

He was a Targaryen infront of a Targaryen. Imagine waiting 200 years for dragons to exist, and then you finally see your bloodline infront of you. The night king knew way too much. He was daemon targaryen for sure.

@@shrutik9673 he somehow felt subconsciously the night king was his ancestor daemon targaryen. He knew nothing consciously. But everything subconsciously

@@lordkizzle I get that. I think that a lot of people dismissed him out of hand for that. However, there was a common thread that was tugged at a few times by different characters in different ways. That was: people who felt called to serve would be better leaders than those who sought to lead.

You could be right

Yup. He looked at Jon as nothing more than a curiosity.

@@WildAzzRacing Hey! You're back from the dead! Why are you fighting on that side?

I agree that he was intrigued by Jon at first, but in the end he was like "Why bother fighting him when I can just bring back the dead and have them fight him" Jon in the end wasn't worth his time when he was so intent on getting to Bran. Perhaps he intended to come back and fight Jon after he took out Bran. What I never understood is why the Night King didn't just snap Aryas' neck. Its like he hesitated.

@@Chrissykat24 For the same reason that Supervillains give a long monologue before they activate their evil plan. Bad writing.

Jamie was better than john

@@danielkaniu9909 The one hand knight, really?

Jon wasn’t that great lmao he got 1v1’d by Karl Tanner, he was a fookin legend in gin alley

When Arya got the dagger, I knew she was the one to kill the knight king. Too many eyes on John

@@georgemcgarry2539 Fair point, but the way they played it out in the end, they did in a way make Jon the stuff of prophecy. In a convoluted sort of way, he did become Azor Ahai of a sort, saving Westeros from a Long Night of a sort in saving it from turned-tyrant Dany's conquering clutches. It just wasn't the clear-cut interpretation almost everyone was expecting...which actually kind of makes sense when you consider how the show overall regarded the theme of prophecy.

Just make me clear that was really knight king afraid of jon I don't think because he is a dead man and a dead man cannot be afraid of anything

@@ABHISHEKSHARMA-cl2vd The Night King, according to show, was human and the Children of the Forest with a dragon glass dagger, turned him into the Night king. So he wasn't risen, like when he does after killing everyone in battle. He saw Jon Snow, kill one of his lieutenants with a valerian steel sword, he realised he was vunerable against this fighter.

@@LSaini4793 ooh yeah I kinda forgot that knight king was a human thanks for the answer bro ✋✋

Sometimes throwing a curve ball doesn't work.

It doesn't make any sense.

People seem to forget that the story is the "Song of Ice and Fire". The Game of Thrones is the name of just the first book in the series.

That tree wasn't the strongest tree look at the 3 eyed ravens tree its roots weren't destroyed I believe that is where the night king was created

I highly doubt he'll ever complete the series at this point.

You like the Street Profits.

For me it wasn't who did it. If that were John instead or Arya I would still find that death uncreative. Kill the main one and they all drop. This was not a fifties alien invasion movie. They should have done better

Lol he killed Theon right before he got killed. He could definitely fight. Come on, man.

Hi

The Night King isn't afraid of death. The fact that the wights he raised were only creeping up on Jon explains it all. This was a diversion to keep Jon and Daenerys busy so he could go kill Bran.

@JohnnyQUIET never said "die", just defeated.

There are no new books,they ruined the show because they were POS!!

Because it wasn't her story to conclude. Imagine Reading a spiderman comic and in the final 2 pages thor comes in and beats the bad guy for him. There just wasn't any emotional pay off for all the work jon had done. He'll I would have taken him slaying the undead dragon at the very least

What I expected her to do, was kill Cerci. All her training and abilities went out the widow in the last season.

In the books, the Night King was not only identified as being a Stark, he was also the 13th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.

I think they said they decided during season six or seven that it would be Arya, so they didn't include that scene for this reason. They just included the callback to this scene to make it look like it didn't come out of nowhere. That's also the reason the eyecolours were in the wrong order. The one argument I can find against a fight beetween Jon and the Night King is that the Night King is physically too strong. In season seven he threw a spear several miles itting a dragon hard enough to kill him. Valeryan steel or not, if Jon paried an attack of the Night King the blow should have broken his arm. From that perspective the Night King dying from a surprise attack without fight made sense. On the other hand there were so many inconsistencies that one more would not have mattered.

Merrin Trant, Walder Frey, Littlefinger? No one can kill the Night's King, because he is already dead But no one works for the only god there is: Death. And Death can't stand that what is dead may never die.
