Here I will upload mainly various clips from Game of Thrones. Other things you may see here are videos from concerts I've been to and random fan videos/top ten lists/clips from other shows. But it will be 95% GoT on here!
If there are any particular scenes you'd like me to upload for you, then you can post them in a comment to one of my videos or on the discussion page on my channel.
1-Got 2-Sopranos 3-Breaking bad I know that end of GOT was pretty bad but those first 5 seasons were better than any season of any other show… there’s like 100 good characters in it, no other show has that
Always hated him backstabbing Jon. Ser Alliser was a bully and a total asshole, but above anything he was a soldier and a warrior. Never struck me as a guy who would assasinate his own commander. Not like that anyway. Always seemed out of character.
Roose might have betrayed Robb but he was a decisive military leader and his men respected and followed him bravely nto battle. Part of the reasons the bolton forces lost the battle of the Bastards is because they were suffering from the absence of Roose's leadership. Ramsey is not his father when it comes to leading men into battle
Number 10 is a good depiction of how Roose could be used by Rob, had Rob acted intelligently. Rob is basically on the verge of losing it because his home is taken from him. He's stubborn and dimwitted and triggered. Theon did that deliberately because of his own insecurity as well. But in that moment Roose just gives it to him straight by saying "you can rely on me". He heeds Roose's advice but just as the tide is turning, he switches allegiances. Basically I'm saying that having someone as cold and calculating as Roose when you are in a war that you have a good chance of winning is okay, but when you're losing you'd need him even more. There's an irony amongst that which i wish I could explain better haha
Not trying to be a book nerd. The character was well played in the series, but the character described in the books is way darker than what is portrayed in the show.
He wasn't. The only time he was genuinely in the right was during the battle of castle black, where he was admittedly a good leader and actually put aside his issues with Jon for a night. Every other time, he's just a hateful knob who puts his dislike of Jon over what's practical and in the interest of his brothers. If he was always "in the right", he would have allowed Jon to train the other Night's Watch fighters and would've sealed up the tunnel prior to the battle.
@@dmaxwell910901 Thorne's house swoar an oath to the Targaryens. He was sent to the wall after Robb's rebellion. You can't blame Thorne. He was a very good character and man except maybe for not saving the wildlings.
i believe roose was really loyal to robb out of respect for ned but when robb married talisa/jeyne and lost the freys he knew robb lost the war so he looked out for his own house like a lot of lords would have done
House Bolton has always been Starks greatest rivals - among the Northern Houses - it's not likely Roose would have that much respect for Ned. Their loyalty during the war would only last as long as it was in the best interest of House Bolton, not due to respect or admiration for a rival House.
Fair enough, though keep in mind refusing to answer that call would have branded him as an oathbreaker. House Stark are their liege lords and vassals have an obligation to come when called upon. Robb threatened another house who danced with the notion of refusing to join his host and march south. @@ryankwon8785
@@DarkEcho119 No, no... The Boltons, after making peace with the Starks and swearing an oath to them, became loyal despite the competition, of course, and Roose Bolton was loyal to the Starks, even during Robert Baratheon’s revolt, he was in the rebel army... and also in the War of the Five Kings, he always advised Robb because he is a son of the North, but Robb is stupid.
When it comes to 2nd houses like Boltons, Freys, Florents, etc. only strength can keep them in line. If they sniff a weakness, they jump on the opportunity like sharks on a bleeding prey. Roose turned on Robb only when war started to go against him, he saw the writing on the wall and opportunity to escape the sinking Stark ship in exchange for royal pardon, legitimizing Ramsay and becoming warden of the north. The deal was simply too sweet to pass.
It is a shame how D&D downplayed Roose in order to add more Ramsay scenes. What they didn’t seem to understand is that, in the books at least, Ramsay was never the true threat. Not to say Ramsay isn’t a threat, he absolutely is. But D&D made Ramsay a way more important character than he should have. Ramsay is a distraction. Roose is the true villain, the real enemy of the Starks (aside from the Lannisters). He was planning to betray the Starks for a while, and personally stabbed his king in the heart. Even Theon, who has faced unimaginable torture at Ramsay’s hands, knows this. “The son is the shadow of the father.” It seemed D&D missed that.
I think D&D became more obsessed with shock value after season 4 ended. Roose and Ramsay were portrayed well through the first four seasons. But they made Ramsay the “main” Big Bad for the North plot line who could sneak into Stannis’s camp with 20 men while Roose (the head Bolton) got sidelined.
@@MrKingYuji yeah Ramsay became a Gary Stu near the end. They kept raising his IQ by 20 points each season, and made him way more successful than he should have been. 20 good men was absurd, and most of the North staying loyal to Ramsay was outrageous. The Boltons are the most hated family in the North because of the Red Wedding. Apart from the Karstarks, most of the Northern houses should have immediately switched over to Stannis/Jon after Sansa escaped.
@@benderthepirate I personally think they didn’t maker Ramsay smarter but everyone else dumber. Petyr gave away the most prized virgin lady in Westeros to a bastard boy he knew little about when he was already in great terms with the Lannisters; Roose keeps antagonizing his sociopathic son over his heir status knowing Ramsay is violent and apathic; the great Lord Stannis the Mannis with a fierce reputation and accompanied by a legit witch was ambushed by 20 men. As for the Northern houses staying loyal, that goes for everyone. Cersei blew up the Sept with the adored Queen Margerey Tyrell and her family and Faith Militant, but becomes Queen. Thorne kills his Lord Commander, but takes over Castle Black. Ramsay loses Sansa Stark and kills his father the Warden of the North, but people still stay loyal to him.
@@MrKingYuji They always were. The Red Wedding was the thing that they wanted to put on the screen. Those kinds of shocks are what they like, they just don't understand how to craft them narratively. That said, I think it's a shame that people forget how great the show was while they actually had material to adapt, because they were brilliant at transfering the books to the screen - or at least picking the right people for it.
@@ghnanrohit3029 He killed a man and then raped his wife under the tree from which his corpse hung (which is how Ramsay was conceived). Roose Bolton was an absolute menace and deserved far worse than a dagger through the heart.
Roose gave a lot of good advice but Robb ignored them. He mostly aided Robb due to his respect for Ned until Robb’s decision making made him lose faith in the Young Wolf.
With the exception of Tyrion, how exactly did he mistreat Jaime or Cersei? He simply held them to the same standard that his father and his fathers father before him held.
@@WhobilationForcing his daughter to marry and breed like cattle wasn’t exactly stellar. The fact he only really put too much stock into Jamie is pretty terrible
@@rennac3152 Let’s not act like Tywin was the first person to marry one of his children off for power/position… that’s literally a common theme throughout the GOT universe.
@@Whobilation Of course it was an everyday thing to do so. Yet to actually refer to your daughter like live stock was while doing so defiantly give Tywin 1st place in yet another field. I got nothing but respect for the man besides croaking on a toilet
I always say "Lord Commander" in my mind exactly like he said it. :) One of the Characters they really did well in series, the actor did a great job. Edit: Though there is one scene i missed here: Where Jon Snow is leading the wildlings through the wall (or is leaving for hardhome...not sure), and asks for his opinion and then answers "As always i thank you for your honesty Ser Alliser"...that scene should be in here too.
