I think the other interesting question is who Sansa would have ended up married to in the books? She seemed on the kind of arc where she realizes that Tyrion was a smart and decent guy and would be a good ruler is more important than his deformities, but he also didn't seem to have interest in her and they could easily have that marriage annulled while he was in Essos with Dany, especially if she were to be betrothed to Harry the Heir. Even if the books ended without her being married, I highly doubt her story would end in the show fashion and imply she was going to be Elizabeth-esque virgin Queen of the North, she knows she needs stability and heirs.

You're the first person I've found who guessed a similar trajectory for Sansa as me based on the books. I thought she'd learn the game from Littlefinger in the Vale, get married off to Harry the Heir, Harry would of course die, Littlefinger would use the fact he's currently Lord Protector of half the kingdom to make some sort of play for the throne (or get Sansa the throne with him as power behind), and Sansa would use what she learned to turn on Littlefinger and take the power herself. That'd leave her in a strong position until Dany came over. She was one of my potential candidates for ending on the throne (I was 100% sure Dany wasn't), but would have also seen a return to rule just Winterfell or the Vale as possible. I also agree that Arya returning to being a Stark is more fitting, Nymeria is still around for a reason. Maybe not as a ruler of Winterfell as she's never had interest in that, but a return to more Stark ways rather than being little ninja assassin like in the show.

Lol buy a 9 volt ,sir.

High quality video mate. Defo make more 👍🏼 I've just finished GOT and this scene fked me up big time lol

My impression in the book was that Sansa was learning to be a good queen, not as a ruler but as a supporter of a king. She was learning to get along with people, run a household, lead other women (as in the siege situation) but apolitically.

It's weird timing putting this out years after GOT wrapped. But I watched it all the way through, as I never thought much about Sansa's character at the time other than the lingering confusion over why she vouched for Littlefinger when she was at the Vale. D & D ruined GOT for me permanently. I'll never re-watch the show, and I doubt I'll ever read the books knowing there are some things in there like your description of Jane Pool that I don't even want filling my head. Besides, GRRM is never going to finish the book series so why invest thousands of hours into reading them anyway when we will never get an ending? Such an epic moment in TV, all shot to hell by horrible show creators that fell victim to their own hubris. I like watching these fan videos occasionally though for the nostalgic value of when the show was actually good. Martin really did create an amazing world of stories and characters. It's too bad it was so horribly represented in the end and the author can't stop going off on side-projects so we'll never see how the whole thing concludes.

You are the FIRST commenter on KZfaq I have seen who pointed out that Sansa was taking Jeyne Poole's place from the books, and that DnD - who I don't love, aren't great and made major mistakes - were in a bind where Sansa was concerned for plot, time and budget reasons. Thank you.

It was ridiculous that Little Finger would turn Sansa over to the Boltons. She was much to important to him. I almost through book at the T.V.

Great vid! New sub, looking forward to seeing more content.

Great video. I agree with you in finding the show version better. But i watched the show first so for me its difficult to compare because it was a total surprise to me, rather than when i read the books and knew what was gonna happen. Great breakdown in the video 🙏🏽

honestly? i liked where sansa ended in the show, it felt poetic honestly that the one stark so eager to leave and not be a stark anymore was the one that remembered most what is was to be a stark and to fight for the north. The character who started with no power ending up being the one with it. I think if they'd had more time (and been better writers) they could have really developed this, had her work it out herself, scheme in her "i'm so innocent i don't know what you could possibly be doing" kind of way and gain her throne as queen of the north, finishing what her family started. I personally don't believe she would reject being a Stark

video is mad good

Agreed, this is more GRRM's fault. Like seasons 1-4 clearly show that D&D have high talent, they're just not good writers.. But amazing adaptors. The problems come from cutting out minor stuff at the start (that grow into bigger plots) and these actors becoming big names. Cutting out Bran for an entire season is what they should of done with Sansa and Jamie (Give us a sneak peak of him in the riverlands). If they had kept mance alive and had Jayne Pool in the background I think it would of worked.. But yeah its far more complicated than just "Dnd bad".

Great commentary! It's nice to hear something other than hyperbolic hatred for D&D. I'd love to watch more of these light comparison videos

Great vid!

The fact that the show ended four years ago and there still is not another book, makes it hard for me to blame the show runners. They were hired to adapt book into TV. It’s Martin’s story. It’s his fault he can’t finish it.

The thumbnail is really, really accurate; because, while Catelyn is a human female in the show, in the books she actually is a massive wolf with glowing blue eyes. Most content creators overlook this. Excellent work, FilmCritiqueHub!

Please feed your ceiling bird 🥲

Bro you gotta exercise better fire safety

In the books it’s insinuated that Lord Tywin arranged the whole Westerling thing with Jeyne Westerlings mother.

When Robb died he went to Northerner hell for taking his rage and grief out on that tree with his sword.

I didn't read the books and I didn't watch the show when it aired, but everyone kept talking about this particular event that there was no escaping it. Even so, I was truly caught off guard of just how brutal it was when I finally watched it. Just goes to show you that even hearing about it doesn't do it justice and it's something you need to see for yourself to truly grasp the horror of it.

The biggest turn of the whole show was Lizzy being Tommy wife when, in the first episode, they get on John for wanting Lizzy to be his children mother.

The first chapter begins with dead direwolf mother who was killed through an antler or that Caitlyn Strong will dye in a fight for the crone of Robert.

Hodor's p.o.v chapter 😂

Replace that battery bro

Hope to see you continue trying with this channel! You've got a lot of potential and seem passionate!

Definitely liked the book better. As you said, you could cut the tension leading up to the Wedding with a knife. It was so well done in the book. The show did a good job, but it loses some of it's impact. Still it was a great scene from a time before the show started going down hill.

I think they had better plans for season 6, but Polly dying screwed it up. And, I wonder how much of the season was affected by the rules they probably had to work around due to COVID.

I can't begin to express how much I enjoyed this video! Your presentation is refreshing and I appreciate your wit (I had a few laugh-snort moments). I watched this video and was completely riveted, after which I went to check out your channel hoping for more videos. I was surprised to find only one other video (of Season 1)! I had assumed from your fine work on this video that you're pretty seasoned and expected a series of videos to indulge in. So, please, please, please make more! I am so looking forward to your take on all the other seasons as I have just binge-watched the entire Peaky Blinders series and need my fix!

I really enjoyed your videos and the in-depth analysis, as well as your delivery and sense of humour (the audible sighs are very relatable!), Please give us your thoughts on Seasons 2 through 5 as well of Peaky Blinders! Also, I don't think Billy Kimber's gang was called Billy Boys. You referred to the gang as Billy Boys but if I understand correctly, Billy Boys were from Glasgow whereas Billy Kimber's gang was an entirely different gang. Anyway, thanks for the wonderful work on your videos. Really looking forward to more!

Agreed lmao love this review put into words what i was thinking so much pointless shit in this season and the most corny quotes I've ever heard literally fucked up the writing of most OG characters arthur as a crackhead 247, Michael in prison having to use a bomb even tho in s5 he pulled a knife out on tom but cant do it here, alfie just being addicted to like opera wtf and tom on a hill screaming and saying edgy shit through all the eps 😂 nice job

I enjoyed it

In episode 4, the song that the Ira woman sang, is the same song that Grace sang to Tommy in the scene I warn you, it will break your heart, that's why Nelson says sing the song, it breaks my heart, and that's why Tommy stands there, without saying anything, he was remembering that moment with Grace. I think the season was very boring, with the horrible relationship between Tommy and Lizzie, she should have broken up in E2, and continued with the other themes, like revenge on Michael, who did nothing, just being in jail , or Finn or Duke, they should have explored those themes more and focused a lot less on Tommy and Lizzie.

Good video man. Well done

Okayyy, hi ;) Let's begin from the start xD 0:00 "If you've never watched Peaky Blinders before because you've been living UNDER A ROCK-" I fucking love you from the start, you are fantastic xDDD The first few minutes you spend giving credits to the actors and creators. There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but I've seen cases where this information could be given with much more emotions =D I don't know if it's the voice that plays the role... probably yeah. Just try to show a little more empathy and interest when you give information ;) Yeeees, exactly, when I started watching the show, I was all sure of myself and started to watch without subs. Did not understand a fucking thing and had to rewatch but this time with subtitles xD 2:41 But... no. He's respected by his enemies because they fear him, but his men are not scared of him. No, they respect and obey him because they have seen what he is worthy of. Most of that, I'm sure, was during the war, but just take a look at how he cares and calms down his former soldiers with PTSD. Like, he doesn't JUST calms them down, he's doing it with heart. 3:26 Now that is actually a fantastic reference. I have no idea where it was taken from, but it suits here perfectly :D I really like how you put this little pieces from other shows to make your point :} 5:20 Again, I'm sorry, but I'm getting confused by your emotionless voice :D You say very correct things, but it's like you are reading a lecture off of a peace of paper instead of actually communicating with the viewers. Let me show you an example. Here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/paumnM512dyycYk.html. I think you don't know that language, but it's even better - that way you will feel the emotions of the author listening just to his voice. It's an observe on Harry Potter, and just try, please, to listen to the first couple of minutes. Can you agree his voice is at least kinda emotional? :D Of course, it's important not to overact, but... a little bit of your interest in what you are saying would really help =D 6:27 *Golden :D* I love you :D 8:08 That is a very good observation. I mean it's kinda obvious statement, but I'm sure nobody bothered to actually annunciate this dilemma to themselves, we just feel it in our subconsciousness :D And I like it very much when such things articulated ;) Ah, And this is 100% my opinion, it's not necessarily is correct. But I would prefer if you would collect the information in groups. Like first you say all the Conveniences, then all Inconveniences :) Just so it would be easier to sort out your opinions in the head of the viewer. But of course, it's just my preferences, you do what you feel right to do =D That would be all, I think. Personally I REALLY enjoyed your video. It's always fun to see what do other fans think of this show, especially because I love it with all of my heart but I can rarely discuss it with someone. It was amazing and I loved it. You are obviously doing a very good job and you take this seriously and put lots of effort in your videos. I'm subscribing. Thanks a lot and I hope I didn't upset you in any way ;) Looking forward to your next video!

I’d invest in a new mic if I’m being honest but great video keep them coming

Good video 👏
