Exactly, even Sam with his ridiculous plot armor had a better story

Even Robert Arryn

Even that unnamed extra who I guess is the new ruler of Dorne has a better storyline than Bran

"For the people" idiot. One should think of seeing the scene, understanding the scene, before thinking of making fun of it.

To be fair, they could have made Gendry the King and it would have made more sense than Bran, a bastard becoming a king is the best "story" they could have had.

Omg same. Two friends of mine and I were in a call watching it together, and while we‘ve all been roasting the episode all along, that actually made us scream. One of my buddies quit because of it lol

Gary Oldman: EEEEEEVERYOOOONNNNE!

His story was so good they had to leave it out of an entire season because it would’ve just overshadowed everything else that season…Actually thinking about season 5 that could’ve been the case.

Worst part about this isn't even that Bran had the worst story.... WHO TF PICKS THE RULER OF THE 7 KINGDOMS BASED ON THEIR STORY? 😭 😭 😭 😭 D&D is so fitting for dumb n dumbass 💀

I felt like i was being gaslighted in that scene

No, it's like Arya killing the NK, a cult scene, for the real fans.

@@qwsa283 It's not badly written, you didn't understand GoT.

@@Batist13 Nk didn't hesitate to kill anyone besides maybe Jon snow. He killed Theon and broke his spear literally shows that he has superhuman strength. Why did he take his time to stare at her? He would've/could've just crush her skull or snap her throat and get on with three eyed reven's death. Most realistic situation. And what was point of Jon's character? To kill Dany? What was the purpose of the "Prophecy"? It was obvious that he was Nk's rival since the 1st season. Arya literally had no business in Nk' fate nor in Jon'. Arya "assasin" flying to kill Nk was entirely nonsense. And don't even start with misogyny or some sort of that bs when whole season was about 2 woman fighting for Iron throne.

@@noobsaibot0622 Arya who flies... after the cup of Starbucks or the Long Night too dark. Don't you want to stop inventing anything to justify your hatred and your misunderstanding of the end of GoT ? Arya has nothing to do with the god of death. Please, let's be serious.

Great scene from the books, one of my favourites. How naive i was, waiting for them to depict Euron as he is in the books and was waiting to see this scene. How utterly disappointing.

That "he laughed" is such a good choice right there.

They really made a terrifying mystic psycho into a simp

@@kinglizardwizardry763 Hot Topic Pirate Edit: Yes I borrowed that line from Lindsay Ellis' takedown video, I don't care. She borrowed from "Gay of Thrones" so it evens out.

"The residents of King's Landing kind of forgot about Cersei blowing up the most sacred place in their religion"

I didn't mind it to be honest. I figured they would be too afraid of her at this point to do anything, especially after their leader died.

I dont even remember how it happened, but didnt she go from "Shame. Shame. Shame." to their ruler without actually doing anything but that?

even if 10000 died.There was 500K people in Kings landing.

Killing most of a house, destroying the great sept and likely hundreds or thousands of civilians, only a couple of years after her son the king was mocked and attacked in the streets for his behaviour, and then everyone in the whole city (bar Jaime) forgetting it two weeks later in season 7. unbelievably horrid writing indeed

Season 5 and 6 have some shitty ass episodes as well.

@@joseceniceros1928 certainly. That's why it's even more impressive that he was able to skip some S7 S8 episodes from the worst episode list

Don't underestimate how shit seasons 5 and 6 can be..

@@Al-ji4gd it bothers me when people only point to season 8 when talking about the bad writting. It's been there since season 5. As soon as they run out of material they fucked it up

@@joseceniceros1928 Exactly, man. The cracks were there as early as season 2, in my opinion. They plastered over them with some compelling storylines, good acting and memorable moments, which made seasons 3 & 4 great seasons of TV. After season 4, though, there was no hiding it anymore. The signs were already there, it just took people a while to see them because they were so enamored with the show.

I think it could make sense in a way that since in the books a lot of houses died due to the War of Five Kings, and even more later on. But 10 is pathetic

@@steffanyschwartz7801 "a lot of" is quite the overstatement. Here's the full list: House Hollard, House Darry, House Whent (probably, though not 100% confirmed), House Caron (alive through Ser Rolland Storm and possibly Bryce's kids), House Rambton (vassals to the irrelevant House Sunglass; possibly extinct but could also be alive). Most houses are well as of the books. As for the show, houses Bolton, Karstark, Umber, Mormont, Frey, Whent, Hollard, Tyrell, Tarly, Martell might be extinct.

@@bierwolf8360 As I said, Tywins war in the Riverlands, Red Wedding, Battle of Blackwater, and a few other book battles destroyed a lot of houses

@@steffanyschwartz7801 such as? There's no houses named nor is it really all that likely. For a house to be wiped out, all male members would have to be killed. It gets wonky when considering the females (as then it is almost impossible to go extinct). The red wedding saw a lot nobles killed but it was largely only representatives from houses (usually in form of the head of house) plus personal companions. As for the battle of the Blackwater, some nobles will have died too (a ridiculous amount of Fossoways did as an example) but that's never gonna be all. There'll be the boys too young for war, the uncles and cousins and nephews that were busy elsewhere. The Riverlands raiding did extinguish at least the Darrys and possibly the Whents. But we know the Brackens, Blackwoods, Vances, Pipers, Mallisters, etc are still fine. That's most the Riverlands still alive. If you want to make a point, give details

@@steffanyschwartz7801 no robb starks campaign didn't result in the extinction of that many houses. Only houses darry and whent (presumably) went extinct. Most houses just had to give up hostages or lost 1 member IE house manderly who lost Wendel (i think it was wendel anyway) and Wylis was a prisoner whilst wyman and his granddaughters are fine.

Maybe just that Gendry is the youngest, so potentially the fastest and potentially the one who should outlast the old guys if there was a problem. It's frankly very simple to understand, you are really crazy haters.

Don't get your point about gendry, might be just a fact that he's the fastest. But I get it that he doesn't know snow.

It's not just that he's the fastest; he also has the best endurance. You know, from the several years he spent rowing.

Maybe (MAYBE) Jon simply wanted Gendry, as the youngest, to survive. He knew he couldn't have said it directly, because Gendry would've refused to leave them to die, so he invented the "you're fastest" excuse.

@@Alknix I don't know why, but that just made me start laughing again haha

What it did do was delay the general audience from hating the season. It wasn’t until the last half of season 8 where there was nothing left to disguise the poor writing & pacing

or major moments that did happen but they decided just not to show it for whatever reason for example when john told his family about his true name, right when they get to that moment its like they just cut the scene out for no reason???

Cleganebowl was the same, at least for me personally. In spite of all of the hype, it was so poorly executed that it didn't really leave a lasting impression

@@Datboy1991 for me the fight was good enough, its just the constant cutting away is what ruined the pacing for me

@@harold926 I meant in terms of the story leading up to the fight. So much of the Hound's story in seasons 6 and 7 was letting go of the revenge tour and fighting for a cause, then they kill the NK and he's just like "Welp, that's done. Time to go on a suicide mission to kill my brother"

I kinda disagree with Viserion, because even the big ballista was shown to not be very effective against Drogon, and the dragons were presented as the ultimate weapon against the army of the dead. I think showing that even the dragon aren't safe from the Night King's power serve as a way to "even up the scales"

@@smilingman4299 I do like this idea.. but his manner of death just seemed so comical. With the olypmic spear throw and all. I understand the night king is this legendary creature but really? They couldn’t come up with something better than that?

@@getolde7966 that's fair

Rhaegal should have died in the attack to King's Landing. As Rhaegal's body falls down Dany watches soldiers and people cheering, afterwards she gets progressively angry by looking at Rhaegal's body (an intense moment) then she goes mad and decides to destroy all of the walls of King's landing and houses, people, everything. Is what I wrote perfect? No, but from that moment in the show it is far better than the shitshow DnD gave us.

The death of Viserion was at least KINDA understandable with the explanation being "powerful magical ice zombie killing him"... but what they did with Rhaegal was absurd. Not only did Daenerys conveniently forget about the iron fleet but Euron turned into a perfect marksman for this one moment and SOMEHOW managed to hit Rhaegal directly through the neck despite him being a moving target and the ballista - obviously - firing in some arc, it's not like it was a gun or anything like that. If they needed Rhaegal dead, he should've died taking on undead Viserion. It'd make FAR more sense and if he took Viserion down with him, it'd give his death some meaning.

Varys death was bullshit. He was the master of whisperers for a reason. And littlefinger went out like a bitch. Littlefinger was stupid to think that he was safe going back after what he pulled...and Varys didn't like Danny to begin with...none of it makes sense

scooby doo gang 😭😭😭

THAT'S what pissed you off..!? Ffs what priorities..

Na! No matter how they killed littlefinger, it felt good. Except you mean he deserved a more horrific death. Varys, I hate but yayyyy to littlefinger’s.

@@chibuzorokonkwo7039 He was playing the game really well and got screwed by some scrubs. Thats the issue. Him dying is of course well deserved after betraying Ned. But, for instance, Joffreys was much better reasoned and was even more satisfying because of that because it didnt feel cheap.

Yep. And Bran literally doing fucking _nothing_ except warging some ravens...for no reason. Legit just cuz. Faaaark.

I expected it to be bad, but on the other hand, that episode also had 1 good character sendoff (Jorah Mormont), which coincidentally also is the only good thing in the episode. I think that propelled it ahead of the later episodes, which don't really have any good things.

Agreed! Although I did feel like the opening scenes were well done, with the tension building as you saw everyone getting into place. But for me, Melisandre lighting the Dothraki blades is the last cool moment of the series so I like to pretend that's the end.

I remember being in denial when the scripts were leaked....I was like "no way". And gradually I came to the realization that the leaked scripts were hundred percent accurate. Even up to the very last episode I was like this can't be right...

Idk but arya killing the night king is still amazing and her stealth kills pays off at an amazing moment saving her home But obviously the most Disturbing thing is we didn't got to see a Combat between the Night King and Jon snow as both were amazing characters presented there

littlefinger death was stupid asf. like wtf did he really think sansa was going to kill her own sister??

my hbomax glitched and skipped this episode. I went straight from e6 to e8 and I didnt notice at all I skipped an episode until days later. That's how irrelevant this episode is

@@jordansdead88 there is no season 7 epsode 8

I was pissed Cersei didn't die more violently.

@@jordansdead88 season 7 doesn't have 8 episodes. It only has 7 so how could you skip from 6 to 8 when there is no 8? Did you go into season 8, is that what you mean? And if so, how could you not have noticed that a new season began without a finale?

Yeah, that's the only thing in the video that I disagree, it's a rare good cock joke.

Yup also have Jon riding Rhaegal so she thinks he dies too (though unlike Rhaegal he ends up surviving).

Just stop after season 4, plus hardhome if you want. Pretend the rest doesn't exist, and the show will be much improved.

I would recommend Watching seasons 1-6 completely. However, if you’re ok stopping in middle of a season I would recommend stopping about halfway through season 7. Despite what many people say season 7 did have great moments that are really worth seeing on the screen.

I'm up to S08 E04, also on my first rewatch since 2019...it's so painful.

I made the same mistake. Second time viewing is even worse than the first exactly because you know how shit the ending is

@@abadyr_ do you mean to skip the "winds of winter" episode too which was good

That would've been a good idea only if it were possible. The problem is that the night king knows where bran is since he left his mark on him. If it was Arya pretending to be bran, though she'd look like him, she wouldn't suddenly have the same mark. The night king would just walk straight to the real bran wherever he'd be without taking a single glance at Arya.

@@kurtcobainofficial Easy, cut to Bran tied to the tree branch above them with some rope!

One of the issues for me is they totally forgot the prince that was promised prophecy. Arya just seems like a random choice. Maybe it's just me but it felt too Mary Sue.

@@kurtcobainofficial true, but this would have been a much more valid criticism had the show been remotely clear about what the mark means or how it works

@@deannas2778 honestly, I much prefer a version of the story where prophecies don’t mean shit My favourite interpretation of prophecy in fiction is the whole “one meets their destiny on the road they take to avoid it” moral, where the character makes the thing happen by trying to prevent it…Kung Fu Panda/Red Dwarf Future Echoes style 😂

Believe me, if you didn't watch more at all, then you saved yourself from a tonne of further bullwank 🤮🤮

I didn’t watch a single episode after that no lie. Was a disgrace.

How did u wanted him to die?

How come ? I thought the actor was not good throughout the whole series. All that whispering. He needed a comedy moustache to twirl.

And of course it's Arya that kills him 🙄.

Exactly, there are idiots still claiming "Oh, but it foreshadowed in previous episodes". No, freaking way, in no point it foreshadowed Danny will be a mass murderer. That story should have to be build up. Show always depicted her as a savior and she actually is, without her Night King would have destroyed entire Westeros.

The funny thing is that the series also has certain elements why Danny changes but it's portrayed completely badly and wrongly. She says herself to Tyrion that she loses something every time she listens to her 'advisers'. She loses her dothrakis. But then not because they need an army in the end. She loses two dragons. She loses her best friend, she loses battles and her fleet, and in the end she learns that there is a legitimate successor to the crown who is loved by many in Westeros and fears that she still has her claim to the throne loses and even helped him get that far several times. If all of this was well written and would have had the time to expand and build it up, it would have made complete sense for Danny to stop listening to anyone and use violence and fear to take what she believes is her due.

@@nemesis3587 The books forshadow it but the show really doesn't

The books don't foreshadow it neither. On the reverse, Danny is not a strong headed leader like she is portrayed in the show, but a naive, sensible little girl trying to act brave and cunning. She is afraid and conscious of everything, she has a crush on his pretty mercenary and trust to people so easily. I don't see this girl becoming a tyrant neither.

@@michaelmcdoesntexist1459 Dany reminds me of a young aerys targaryen. When aerys first ascended the throne, he wanted his people to prosper. He wanted to be known as "aerys the great" or "aerys the wise". When the bravosi tried to collect their debts he wanted to invade bravos and "bring the titan to kneel". He ended up being used by lords great and small to rise to power due to him being easy to manipulate. If it wasn't for tywin Lannister a rebellion would've happened long before the war of the usurper. Dany'ss afraid of everything but certainly not conscious. If she does beome a tyrant she won't be a cunning leader who manipulates her people. She'll be a crazy bitch just like her father

Every time the Disney public is faced with cinema too.

Legendary comment.

Mediocre comment, mediocre video.

@@Batist13 First fan of season 8.

A two sided one. Both shite

Actually, this is a elective monarchy. It usually don’t work very well.

GoT jumped the shark when they killed Stannis. Brienne's "dilemma" was pointless, and I'm pretty sure it marks the first time a character faced no consequences at all for (what should have been) a weighty decision. Sansa should have been FURIOUS with Brienne since she not only left her post but did so to murder the man who was trying to liberate the North from the Boltons.

Tbf season 5 still has elements from the books but is mainly based on the feast for the crows, worst book in the series imo. After the death of Tywin everything just drops, even in the books, although dance with dragons is good.

@@djole93podbara yeh I know some of the storylines are similar to the books, and I get that a lot of season 1-4 was edited from how it was in the books too. I think the point about Tywin is so true and I’ve heard people say the same about the books. Ultimately he was the most overt antagonist and arguably one of the most influential people in Westeros so it was massive him dying. I think this is why GRRM is taking so long with the books too, as he built up such a complex universe and story that actually killing off well built up characters in a way that doesn’t cause a decline in quality is so tricky.

@@maxpatterson1699 yep, I agree. I m just hopping Martin finnishes the series. Btw I have to say that storylines are basically the same in the books and series up until season 5 when they start to "part ways" mostly. For example Stannis is alive, John is dead, Sansa is in the Vale, Catelyn is "alive" but Arya is in Bravos with the assasins.

@@djole93podbara yeh there’s similarities but the stories do change a bit. Stannis frees lots of northern lords to rally their men, Baelish faces a plot from the e vale lords whilst Sansa is under a fake identity. I’d say that although the stories are similar there is massive differences. The worst difference I think there is from the book is the way euron is written, he is such an interesting character that could have such an impact in the book

Shut up and take my money!

Bigger plot hole...why the heck was littlefinger trying to turn Sansa against Arya! For what conceivable reason! 😅

The funny thing is that that idea IS in the books, but it is almost on the background. The Night Watch sends Allister Thorne to Kings Landing with the frozen hand of an Other (White Walker in the series) as a proof that something weird its going on (after Lord Commander Mormont is attacked and almost killed by some ice zombies in his own bedroom) and to ask for more men to fight on the Wall; but by the time he's in front of the Lannisters to ask for help, the hand is melted and is so gross to watch (or something like that). Tywin laughs at the request and Thorne is send back to the Wall without help. So D&D took that idea but they didn't read the book very well because in the show, that episode has so many flaws is beyond stupid... And by the time the whole gang arrived in KL to show the thing to Cersei, it wouldn't have mattered at all because the White Walker should have been melted or at least more decomposed. They just didn't read well enough Martin's books and they bend time and space in Westeros to their convenience in the series. Without George's writing, the show became an awful shitshow that makes me want to cry even to this day...

And the Hound throws a fucking rock at the Army of the Dead, who had up until that point been stagnant in their attempts to attack the group 🤦‍♀️ But why. But how.

@@CatLady1989 Actually, that is in the show as well but it's only mentioned and not shown. I think it's in season 2. Commander Mormont sends Alliser Thorne with the wight hand to King's Landing but they never mention what became of it. Alliser simply returns to the Wall by season 3.

Same its the worst and most absurd

But atleast it is watchablle than watching just boring dialog in season 5-6

He was busy thinking about how Dany is his queen

Dany didn't teach him the magic word; "Dracarys!" 😆

Agreed, kinda looked like the Dorthkai got wiped out in that episode. Not to mention standing in front of ur siege engines and fortifying a trench and then standing in front of it??? That episode was such a let down for what had been building up for so long

Totally agree. I can still watch (though I have to skip boring/annoying/pointless scenes) during the last two seasons, but I literally can’t bring myself to watch that last episode for a second time ever again. Probably forever.

Even then, that scene at the Tower of Joy is basically ripped straight from Ned’s dreams/memories in the first book.

@@warlordofbritannia but not fully. Jon's parentage wasn't revealed there.

When your best argument for destroying a season is a cup of Starbucks, there's not much else. It is easy to deduce that the end is very good.

Genuinely as someone who watched seasons 1-4 how can you even think season 8 isn’t objectively terrible?

@@dtczyk8976 Because precisely that makes sense with all the seasons.

Exactly. The problem isn't that she went mad (especially when you remember this will happen in the books, too), it's the lack of development and how quickly they rushed to it happening.

No, you didn't understand Daenerys.

@@Batist13 Quite right, when she has the means to defeat her enemies in less than 10 minutes with no civilian casualties at the start of season 7 and then chooses not to, I certainly didn't understand her.

@@thomaslynch5313 She was still listening to Tyrion at the start of Season 7.

@@Batist13 You're referring to when Tyrion convinces Dany not to go through with just killing his sister and ending the war in less than a day and instead tells her to enact a siege to humanely starve out the peasants living in KL?

The moment this show turned its back on us and focused on the “bar watchers” is when it really died. If your show can be watched and understood in a loud bar, you’re doing something wrong.

Yep I can confirm this with ppl I've known who started watching after the rush. They said they loved it all. I asked "even season 8?" Yep, amazing to them. So I wonder if they actually watched it, or they just are saying they liked it because the rest of the crowd used to talk about it, and they knew it had clout.

Yep, they _were_ at the docks. Fucking ludicrous

The Bells, best episode of the whole saga. Obviously.

Lmao

Same for me. When Ramsay said "give me 20 good men" I was exicted and anxious about what they were up to. But their sabotage action happened off camera. Which was really lazy.

Very true. Trying to rewatch only highlights and heightens the plot holes and crappy writing one overlooked the first time around. D&D really butchered this story, there's even a proof from rewatching and reevaluating the good things! That's some achievement.

I felt the same about the whole season, just bored, waiting for it to end already.

Of course, if you only listen to mediocre haters in mediocre videos.

2 - iron Throne 3 - long might 4 - winterfell 5 - Beyonce the wall

And they cut away from Jon revealing his true parentage to his family. Fuck.

I don't think you understood Daenerys.

Cersei did not kill Because she afraid if she was killed by the dragon-my logic

Know one even knows his powers though and even if they did he could just be the hand or even just a council member.

tywin was never in winterfell, he never visited the starks, their houses have bad blood between them, so how should he know the looks of a girl he never even saw

@@zikkimeister215 I said it was partially defensible, but I feel the guy who always preach knowing your enemy should know better. He's never met Daenerys either does that mean she could've casually strolled down King's landing? It's not like no one knew how other people looked like before social media.

@@nnnp634 its a difference knowing who that silver haired girl with purple eyes is than that little girl with brown hair and brown eyes. Also at that point he doesnt even know that arya fled kings landing

They had no involvement in the new prequel, and a lot of their sycophants from the writing team also left with them, so that explains the better quality of the new show

Should at least take a month. And are we *really* to assume that one month had passed for each Dany+Jon trip down to Kings Landing?

I found it ridiculous to be honest. What his dad realistically would have done is - to die himself and tell his son to bend the knee. I read all the books and he basically got rid of Samwell because he was "weak" and bookish, unfit for what he considered to be his heir. Dickon on the other hand was raised to be his successor and he was quite a capable fighter as well, able to defend House Tarly. But realistically the dad would have saved his house in spite of his pride - hence dying himself but keeping his lineage alive and making sense of his son getting education, training to be the head of House Tarly. So yeah. D&D kinda forgot about logic then and there as well xD

@@Sirinwara Ah, I didn't read the books so the context does make it a bit different. I still think it was a cool scene personally, but based on your explanation I can defo also see that it does not fit the narrative of their family's structure
