The most amazing thing about this show was how Bran spent so long developing super powers, yet still managed to contribute nothing useful to the story.

Years of training as an assassin just to scream as you're sneaking up on someone

D and D turned the Night King into a Scooby Doo villian of the week.

The fact that there was no additional back story for the night king just pisses me off

The hype surrounding the Night King that spanned 7 seasons, and then. He just became nothing but a MID-SEASON VILLAIN lmaoo!!

George rr martin: "I don't like evil characters being evil for the sake of being evil." The way david and dan decided to end white walkers plot without explaining their true motives was really frustrating

The Starks have their wolves The Targaryens have their dragons Where are the Lannister’s lions? Cersei: WHERE ARE MY ELEPHANTS?!!

I think at this point we can be fairly certain that the reason the writers didn't say where all this was going is because they didn't know wtf they were doing.

Night king: Bad writing: Im about to end this man's career

"untold thruth" learned nothing new about the NK D&D would be so proud of you

Sauron fighting for 10 seconds will be more remembered than 10 years of Night King. Well played D&D.

8:30 "Thanks to years of training as an assassin and with the element of surprise, Arya was finally able to put an end to the Night King." Oh, I didn't realize jumping and screaming was part of the element of surprise.

I miss the army of the dead. They were cool as hell.

Years...years I spent speculating, and super interested in Knight King. I just knew he had some ties to a main character...thought there would be some epic final fight scene...I was so hyped...then he was poked by a teenager and shattered...just like my hype for the entire series 😫😫

I felt like Bran was the most useless character of all time. By the time this episode had ended, I personally wanted to kill Bran just thinking about how useless and thankless he was the entire show. Edit: I just realised Bran gave Arya the valyrian knife because he knew she was going to kill the Night King

RIP GOT killed by season 8

At this point who cares? We arent going to find out anything about him. All that build up for Nothing!!!

NK was my fav character. I wish Tywin Lannister was alive for the battle of winterfell. Would be interesting to see his strategy.

The biggest disappointment was not seeing Jon Snow on a sword fight against the Night King, Aria could kill others, but they missed a chance of an epic fight.

I think adding some simple lines from the original Three Eyed Raven, during the Night King’s attack that led to Hodor’s death, would have made it so much easier to understand the Night King and it would give him an actual goal. If the Raven would’ve just explained to Bran: “I’ve passed my powers, what he seeks, onto you. He has sought after our ability for ages. If he takes our ability, he will be one step closer to becoming truly immortal. He must also destroy the Weirwood Tree he was created upon, one that you know very well” (alluding to the Godswood). The Raven then senses that the Night King draws near. “Go, now! I will stay behind and hold him off for as long as I can.” Something like that would’ve allowed the seasons to play just as they did, but would’ve given the main antagonist a true goal that was known to the audience and some of the characters until they would all come together in the final seasons. Thus making better sense that the final battle with him taking place in Winterfell. I would’ve also had Daenaerys deal with Viserion after he and the Night King had been separated so that through the teamwork of Jon, Arya, and Bran the Night King would have finally fallen.

The children of the forest: Can you kill the humans so we can win this war? White Walker: _Must. Kill. Everything._ The children of the forest: Wait what.

I learned nothing here. Everything was previously explained already. The Night King was the coolest character in GoT in my honest opinion.

My question is.. Where the hell Night King procured those giant metal chain to get out Dany's dragon.

The knight king being a Targaryaen would also explain why he didn't get burnt by the Dragons Flame.

Im sure the NK is a Stark. Who knows maybe his real name is Winter and this is why the Stark words are Winter is Coming.

I really feel like I'm alone, and I might as well be. But come on maaaaan I really wanted the NK to win lol. The last 3 episodes should have been of Cersei learning they lost and that he's coming for King's Landing. Last episode should be him sitting on the throne after the fight (which, without dragonglass would be short lived). And then the camera pans over Westeros and the dead are everywhere and the storm dies away.

The final war should have been between the night king and the living Rather then the climax

Bran: It didn’t happen as they though it would, did it? Meera Reed: I wouldn’t say so, but when did you learn all of this? Bran: As soon as I became the 3 eyed raven. Also Bran: I’m glad you brought me here beyond the wall, we couldn’t have done this in Winterfell... Meera: So you sure about doing this? Bran: You know what happened after the night king was defeated, don’t you? The same people who united to fight the common threat started to fight among themselves again. Meera: Can’t argue on that... Bran: The peace we have now is temporary, it will always for years to come... Only we know how to stop it. Meera: It will be years before the people stop needing the night king to unite themselves. Bran: Only we know the night king’s true purpose, so lets keep it that way and just get on with it. Meera: Are you sure about this? Bran: I am, this world needs the night king much more than it needs the 3 eyed raven. Meera (cries): Please go easy on them. Bran (smiles): the last one did, what makes you think I won’t? Meera ( stick dragonglass inside bran’s chest) Bran ( eyes begin to turn blue). THE END

This was literally 10 minutes of stretched out stuff we all know. Is this entire channel like this?

They should make a spin-off series for the night king!!!

They built up the Night King so much only to have him fall so easily. Frankly, it was a mean tease. I'd have preferred a last battle of all of Westeros vs the Nights army, and then when Aria kills the NK, the remaining soldiers of each house start to fight each other.

Was the most mysterious guy in the series... and then all of a sudden was killed by Arya. Very unspectacular.

I don’t think they did the knight king justice, he literally brought a winter storm with him

I hate when one presents a really decent, provocative and scary character, but not enough substantial background, especially after patiently waiting for it.

How the long night should have happened: -All soldiers behind the walls -Dragon fight that we could see -Jon Snow and the Night King fighting on screen for 5-10minutes straight in a one on one sword fight that rivals Anakin vs Obi Wan -Daenarys cast dracarys on both Jon and the Night King, but they both keep fighting in the flames -Finally the night king decides to raise the dead around Jon Snow, forcing him to retreat -Night King decides to move past winterfell and move south for kings landing -Bran convinces Jon to have dragonglass put into his chest and become a new night king -The night king sacks kings landing and takes cersei as his ice queen -Night King Jon fights the night king, beats him, Jaime kills cersei ice queen -Night King Jon takes the white walkers back up to the north, never to return until the next long night. -Daenarys is the new queen of the seven kingdoms. -The end.

I am from Slovakia and i am so proud for this actor. Cause i love GOT....

The whole video becomes bogus because GOT made the Night king arc look like a Naruto filler episode.......... i mean too tell you how horribly they screwed up, they never should have build night king this much if they weren't going to use him correctly

I honestly can’t stand the stupid people that are saying the Night King shouldn't have won because that would "be boring". They clearly have never read any of George R.R. Martin's life's work. The series this show is (loosely) based on is called 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. 'Game of Thrones' was merely the title of the first book in the series that the show runners decided to use for the TV series, but the intention was never supposed to be about who won the throne up until the last minute "subverting expectations" bullshit thrown in by D&D SOLELY for shock value. They confirm this when they directly stated in a recent interview after S8Ep3 aired that they read many fanfictions and fan theories about what was going to happen and instead of going with what logically made sense, changed the entire plot and completely ignored all established foreshadowing ever shown in the show just to create something the audience wouldn't expect. That is the very definition of awful writing, making something shocking solely for shock value's sake, which Martin himself made fun of when he said he could "subvert expectations" by making aliens invade Westeros in his novels. If the title of 'A Song of Ice and Fire' isn't already obvious enough, I wish people that still blindly love the lack of payoff would actually pick up one of GRRM's books and learn that the main point was never about the Iron Throne but the pointlessness of war. This was not a show aimed to please fans at its beginning, it was meant to show the very real and very intense sacrifices of war amidst fantastical elements a-la the Red Wedding. In the lore of the ASOIAF universe, Azor Ahai had to kill his wife to create Lightbringer to fight off the threats presented by the Long Night, which went well beyond the White Walkers but also the cruelty of mankind. It was heavily hinted that Jon or Daenerys were Azor Ahai, meaning that either one of them would have to kill each other, the person they loved, in order to fend off the Night King. In the show, the Night King was himself once a man, cursed against his will by the Children of the Forest into being a monster, and traces of humanity could be seen in him during the Battle of Hardhome when he witnessed the death of a White Walker and again when he smiled at Daenerys after her failed attempt to burn him, indicating some type of personality beyond just being a two-dimensional villain who was evil simply for the sake of being evil. In Martin's novels, the White Walkers are much more complex than how they are portrayed on the show and were never created by the Children of the Forest as a weapon of war, but rather their own distinctive species separate from humans that felt slighted by humanity's greed and corruption, and longed to start the world anew to bring peace where there wasn't any. There was no point for the show runners to show the audience the creation of the White Walkers or the humanity of the Night King though because ultimately, they chose to make them pointless malevolent creatures. The penultimate ending of MARTIN'S version would have showed that the Night King did not simply stand for mindless destruction but had a deeper purpose for his motives to make the audience empathize with him, and Jon or Dany (as well as any of the surviving main characters) would have lost many people they cared about in order to face against him. If the White Walkers had a deeper motivation and the audience had been made privy to this, it would have made knowing who to root for that much more difficult, especially since Dany has exhibited sadistic tendencies unlike the traditional hero. Both sides would have been morally grey, and thus whoever won wouldn't have won without paying dearly for it. You don't spend 8 years hyping up Azor Ahai prophecy and White Walkers and the Night King only to have him go down quickly and easily in a battle that never made any logical sense anyway; 8,000+ years beyond the wall just to get killed by a little girl jumping off a trampoline with a butter knife made of Valyrian steel that the Night King KNEW was his weakness and KNEW that the people in Winterfell had. The show's VERY FIRST OPENING SCENE, in Season One, Episode One, were the White Walkers, long before Cersei or the Lannisters or any character that was integral was even introduced; it started with the White Walkers, it should have ended with the White Walkers. Instead, we go from all these threats that "Winter is Coming" and that the royals needed to put aside their petty feuds in face of "The Great War" to then having the Great War really not be that big of a threat after all and go back to the petty feuds between royals. The point of the White Walkers was to show that all humans, good, bad or indifferent, share the same inevitable outcome - death.

I think that we are just seeing past events through Bran's eyes. I think that the whole show was just him showing us all what happened.

When all the theories are more complex, well thought and satisfying than the actual story...

No one : Looper : Why the Night King's breathing is more important than you think

HBO: what do we say to good writing? D&D: Not today

Night King: I want to kill everyone. Daenerys: Hold my beer

Imagine, the night king being bran, and actually coming for his self, to kill himself before he goes back in time again and become night king himself, thus the night king actually wanted to destroy the chances of white walkers being created again by bran and he is the good guy, but Arya killed him before he could kill bran and so bran does travel time again and becomes night king that could travel trough time and again atacks winterfell and this time wins. that might be too far off but i dont buy it all this build up, for nothing, and bran hasnt done a thing in the past 2 episodes, i think in 6th epsidoe bran will do something that will cost the life of most people.

Thank you for giving the significance of the actor who played the NK's previous roles. Could you give me a backstory on the actor who played the mad king too?

It's a shame that The Night King's character was wasted after 8 seasons of build up. The cheap Beast Master last stand was weak, and too bad the Beast Master did it better.

The Night King was a crazy homicidal maniac who could ride dragons and was immune to dragon fire. Why is there any doubt he was Targaryan?

Thanks for the efforts to tell us what we already know.

I just realized how stupid and unfinished the white walkers and Brans storylines are. So much potential there and they decided to keep it all unsolved. They never actually showed what Bran was doing as the Three-Eyed-Raven and they also didn't explain the connection between him and WW. Very disappointing.

Night King story line has ended, and we still know barely anything about him.

Thanks the Gods Arya learned how to teleport in Essos. That way she could easily jump over thousands of wights and a dozen of White Walkers to kill the NK in like...5 seconds.

The night king could have had a terminator moment. Landed solo at kings landing, killed a few people and raised them up, let the undead kill more and repeated. Without the means to kill him, kings landing would have lost. Wouldn't have fitted any character development or the story but would have been good to watch.

"Bound to cause few issues" Aegon VI: u kiddin me

we need a separate show dedicated to The Night King history

night king: ''where in the seven summer did i learned to ride a dragon''

In my opinion, the Night King should've flown the dragon directly to the King's Landing to kill Cersei..

THE STREAK HAS BEEN BROKEN 😱🥳 Looper: “Up next, we’re back to End Game and how Twilight inspired 4/5ths of the entire movie.

The problem with purposely being unpredictable is that it ended up being predictable almost felt like they didn't have the money to do things like azora high and his flaming magic sword or return of the Starks from the crypts and used the unpredictability as an excuse to save money the night kings death was a perfect example .

The Knight's King/13th commander of the Watch was a Stark and probably named Brandon from the stories of Old Nan that were told to Bran before he became the 3 Eyed Raven...and the Knight King is hinted at...possibly being a Stark...my theory was the knight King was going to attack Winterfell and go down into the crypts to retrieve the Knight Queen....because Bran the Builder and his allies entombed her....and chained her....since Winterfell was possibly built over Hot Springs or some natural occurence that keeps the crypts warm...at first , I thought a dragon was down there.....according to Old Nan, the 13th Commander and Bran were Brothers, some people have said that they might have been half Brothers and the 13th Commander was the Bastard born to the Stark girl from the Tale of the Bard story and his name was Jon Snow....his half Brother being Bran The builder...but all of this elaborate theorizing has been for naught....one of the most mysterious and intriguing characters was taken down by someone who is barely 5 foot tall ...not Jon Snow, the Hound, Jaimie Lannister, or Brienne...even the dude with the flaming sword got taken down ....Arya Stark killed the greatest threat to Westeros humanity other than Cersi...it felt like a premature ejacualation !

I just realized how much I miss Got, almost from season 7 😔 Although I must say that I loved that Arya killed the white walkers, but then, the rest.... And I fear that there will never be characters like those in that series, and so well achieved and acted. I think one of the best merits of this series is how well the physical appearance of each actor fits each character.

Untold truth about the Night King- He was a dud thanks to shoddy writing and now no one cares.

"The UNTOLD truth" - The show _literally_ tells it. ¬_¬

Making a whole new world with its own histories, cultures, languages and beliefs etc.... Hats off to G. R. R. Martin 👏

He HAS to be a Targeryan. - Could ride a dragon - Doesn't get burned by fire. COINCIDENCE?!

So by "Untold", you actually mean "as told in the hit HBO series Game of Thrones?". There's no new information in this video.

Could have at least let John reached the Night King just when he is about to strike Bran.. they have a epic climatic Duel.. but just as Jon is losing and Night King getting his absolute upper hand, arya came in and did her thing. I could have lived with that. Not the immediate shift as like what ep04 did.

I love this video... so well made... can I please ask what the soundtrack is? Thanks

Night king : I'm the army of death. Corona: hold my beer.

Whoa..."Bran got branded" just gave us the hidden meaning behind Bran's name. Mind blown....

Such a let down. From the beginning, the story alluded to a mysterious, dangerous, ancient, and particularly different magic behind the Wall. This was supposed to be THE threat, the "thing" that threatened the entire of civilization so much that one King dedicated all the kingdom's resources and magic to create a deterrent, a literal magic Wall to keep them out. At the end, "winter is coming" meant absolutely nothing. It was the stupidest resolution to have the King not only have a stupid weakness, stupid to have the King die when his obvious power was to "bring the dead to life" lol (stupid that you think you can kill something that is not alive), and stupid to make invest in a story where "killing" such King automatically destroys all its dominion (seen this so many times in anime, movies. The concept of the hive queen. Never liked it and stupid to include it here).

I think that Night King was once 3eyed raven. If children of the forest pick strongest candidate for Night King, that can only be 3eyed raven in their minds. That would explain Night Kings knowledge of importance Weirwood trees had, and his strong connection with Bran. And the magical abilities of 3eyed raven could be perfect for Night kings magic.

I think this video made me learn more about the Night King and the White Walkers than the show ever did.

Thanks to the amazing writing of D and D, we will never know. I suppose they went for keeping the mystique. I mean the writing for this villain is on par with Snoke from star wars, of whom we know nothing. Amazing writing. So glad I followed all those seasons of GoT . /s

Endgame - GOT content. Looper office must be in chaos right now

I believe the night king is a Targaryen. He was unburnt when dragon Flame used to him,

the WW general gave a better fight versus jon at hardhome than NK himself at winterfell.

He definitely isn't a Targaryen since they weren't one of the first men. I suspect as you said that he is part of the Stark family, and I think there was an untold pact between the Starks and the night King, I think there's more meaning behind their saying that there always must be a Stark in Winterfell. I do hope the last two books are a lot better than the show, and I hope George has a chance to write and publish them before he either gets too old or passes away

I honestly hope to to see the following in the next few (yeah right hahaha) years: 1. GRRM finishing the books. 2. A proper reboot following the books (maybe animated)

The episode when we are first introduced to the Night King, he turns a baby into a White Walker, and it just occurred to me, who does it fall upon to raise this brand new White Walker? Does this person have the patience to deal with an infant White Walker's 'terrible twos'? Or their adolescence? That's got to be a handful having to deal with a hormonal 13 year old White Walker. I'm just curious about this...

The fact that there is so much mistery makes the character better

Still mad Jon didn't kill him the whole series that's what Jon was working towards but D&D had him screaming at a dragon seriously what a shame

I think the Night King warged into Bran and controlled him around cave time. The dark side of Bran warged into Hodor to do his bidding. He killed the boy and became the biggest threat to the 7 kingdoms. Jon Snow was spared for a future showdown, for an unrevealed purpose. He was exactly where he was supposed to be says creepy Bran. Ayra didn't 'kill' the night king like a boss - he reached Bran in time to warg. Whatever direction GRR takes the story will be fine by me. I hope he's secretly finished the book and HBO is plotting an Epic return to continue the series GRR style.

SLOVAKIA our brothers ! Love from Czech Republic ! Slováci tohohle si važte málokomu se podaří se takhle proslavit jsem na vás pyšný :D❤🇨🇿🇸🇰

The knight king is a victim of magic. He has no choice. He is not evil. He is like the terminator, in the sense that they are following their programming/purpose.

There was a lot of possibility and potential for good storytelling with the Night King, and in their rush the writers pissed it all away.

Looper: [doesn’t upload an endgame video] Me: wait... that’s illegal

Which background music is used??? its really Nice!!

When Bran touches that tree and has a vision, that's the first glimpse we got of the Night King.

The whole night's kings and nightking confusion things has always made me wonder why he wasn't just called the whiteking? He's a white walker and the king of the white walkers so if anything its actually a better fit plus the whiteking sounds cooler in my opinion

Arya killing the NK was the biggest disappointment in entertainment history.

I think, GRRM will certainly do something with Bran. I mean, he was the first pov in the books! And he is the warg, always separate from the other characters' stories

They need an Oscar category for Best Stunt-Double and Best Stunt Coordinator. So underrated and they do NOT get paid enough or protected by insurance the same way leading actors are

How come the Night's King touch had no effect on Arya??? Plot hole at its finest!

The Knight King is definitely a Targaryen, because he does not only ride a dragon, but he is also immune to fire. 🔥 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

if the night king's army are all magically reanimated undead which means they no longer grow old, wouldn't turning babies into white walkers end up creating a bunch of crying undead babies that can't do anything but lay there and cry?

everything in the show that happened to arya prepared her for the killing of the NK. Although i like her killing the NK, it is disappointing to have the most powerful character in the show wandering for 8 seasons just to get killed by a girl without doing a real damage to the humans. let's see what the last episode will tell us, maybe everything has a reason and is well written and we aren't able to see it yet.

Immune to dragon fire, because he is just so damn COLD!

Real thanks for pointing out the obvious!

The night king was a stark. That's why there must always be a stark in winter fell. The white walkers slept as long as a stark was in winter fell. When theon took winter fell he kicked out all the starks and woke up the walkers. Theon was the last guy killed by the night king.

Imagine taking a kickoff in your end zone, running it back to the one yard line & fumbling. That’s Game of Thrones
