A New Night's King? 

Worst job interview ever - Fail to impress the boss, six other staff descend upon you and butcher you....coldly.

I would live for Jon being a new night's king. Better than repeating "I don wun it' for the entirety of A Dream of Spring

"Darkstar is... called Darkstar." ah yes, that's the deep symbolic analysis we have all come to know and love 😂

George RR Martin watching LmL: Ahh, so that's how it all fits together

Sir Waymar Royce: *gets hit on the side by the sword * The Other: “look guy this weird black thing leeks red when I poke” The other Others : “ freaky. Kill it man it’s grossing me out “

Let's just make a movie about the Nights King. A whole series about the Nightfort. Something!

The George's comet head has become my favourite.

Woahhh.. the other’s “mocking voice” crackling of ice etc. sort of reminds me of Ser ilyn Payne laughing at Jamie. Just a random thought

I can't help but wonder if Benjen Stark was put to the same Shadowy "test" as Waymar Royce. There are many similarities between the two, even in their look's. The "Other's" do seem to be "looking" for specific traits, traits that both Benjen, and Waymar (even Jon) share(d)..both Men also being "high born" Nobles, from prominent Old House's, both are trained warriors, possessing their own (castle forged steel) swords, both Benjen & Waymar are Rangers, I believe both Men also spoke their Nights Watch, vows in front of the Heart tree .. and, didn't Benjen have a fancy cloak too... hmm. I wonder, Anyway, I'm only 5 minutes into the video, yet My mind is ticking (off topic) already..lol

One thing that stands out to me is the emphasis on how easy it is to cut through Weymar's armor. Who do we know with one eye (kind of), a black Sable cloak, and near indestructible black armor. Either it's Euron or Euron has learned extra parts of the prophecy that he is trying his hardest to replicate. My bet is kind of on the second one. Euron is trying to fake it til he makes it while Jon is the real deal

I also think the Starks and Royces being related via multiple intermarriagess played a part in the Other's particular interest in Waymar. I do think either the Starks are part Other, or the Others are part Stark (or both), so it makes sense they are seeking Stark blood for their new king.

My favorite part of the day is coming home from a busy day at work and relaxing and watching a new video!!! Keep up the good work!!!

When I hear the Ironborns drowned god and how he feasts his warriors (sort of like a cthulhu version of Valhalla) I always the thought twist with it was that the Ironborn are the feast and that the drowned consumes their souls for whatever reason. I was wondering what you think of this.

One thing I love about ASOIAF is that most major characters have the chance to fill one or more roles in the larger narrative. Like "Who is going to be the new Nights King, Jon Snow or Stannis Baratheon?" Whoever gets there first.

The Moleskin glove prophecy made me burst in laughter and I had to explain to my wife, after like 5 whole minutes of rambling and mumbling about Jon Snow, the Red Woman and Azor Ahai, I just gave up...

Guess this mean that after resurrection, Jon Snow(or Ghost) immediately murders a bunch of Night's Watch brothers

What if "There must always be a Stark in Winterfell" means. There MUST always be someone of THE BLOOD able to be the new Knight king should anything happen to the old one.

Love your commentary, Lucifer means Lightbringer!

I'm pretty sure they were just giving him a little blood test. I think they were looking for a certain genetic profile, a blood variety familiar enough to them that they could smell it the moment it first spilled from his body.

Glad to see your channel growing! You deserve recognition for your thorough and fascinating analysis! Definitely quenches my thirst while waiting for the next book.

I’m so far down the heresy trail, the only thing that can stop me are seven daggers blessed by Rhllor.

You and Quinn are THE BEST ASOIAF RU-vidrs out there except maybe INDEEPGEEK Love y'all and am hoping for a new colab video soon.

smoked a joint, did a dab. then got on RU-vid then I see that LmL posted a video. in the words of cube, today was a good day!!

Nice video! Re what was the signal to the Others that this wasn't the guy they're looking for, while I like your theory fine, it might also be that his _armour_ failed. "The pale sword bit through the ringmail beneath his arm" . We know Euron has a valyrian armour set, and John dreams of being armoured in black ice, so maybe they expect not just a decent sword, but the rest of the kit too.

The prologue in GoTs is no doubt my favourite one ever out of any book and completely sold me on ASOIAF .AND of cos D bag waymar Royve INFAMOUS LINE "Dance with me then " plus they might of thought Royce was a stark as hes described alot like Jon snow or even TPWWP

Such good visuals! The parallels! The symbolism! Laid out in such a way that even dilettante myth heads like me can comprehend

Only one other person in the entire book series who wears moleskin gloves..

Maybe the Night Queen is the husk of Nissa Nissa, maybe she was the magical one and when her “fire” (soul) went into the blade, she became a cold being, and after she took his seed and also his soul, the cycle was complete and they became something else...?

Always love more Night's king and Other videos. I'm always sharing your videos on reddit and Facebook

*COLD FURY* “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” I think that The Others, or The Great Other, were the ones who were wronged, or were created to avenge a wrong done to The Children of The Forest. G.R.R.M. Is playing with the concepts of simplicity & duality. Perhaps Humanity did something wrong/evil (breaking an Oath, blood-sacrifice to gain power, etc.) & they dress in Black symbolizing that they are in fact the bad guys, but we the readers are inherently inclined to side with them & sympathize with their goals because they are human like ourselves. The Others on the other hand, are White or translucent, pure, elegant, spirit-like, machines of vengeance apparently, yet they do not simply attack all humans that are North of The Wall. They clearly show restraint & know who they are supposed to target.

Great video. It looked amazing. It was a very cohesive breakdown of the symbols and myths and how they tie in with the story and their potential foreshadowing. Very great job.

The background music at times is omnious AF and I love it

LOL @ George's head flying by as a red comet. Speaking of comets, isn't the Weymar prologue before the red comet even appears in the sky? Or am I mistaken that you seem to imply that this was a trigger for them to go on a search for a new Night's King?

The moleskin prophesy is not appreciated south of the Wall, which is a shame.

it’s only 25 minutes I was hoping for a 2 hours analysis 😓. I guess I’m getting addicted to your channel. Hope one day you can post new videos each day ❤️.

Woke up to this one. As its Sunday I'll wake and bake while watching this.....

I'm loving this series. Yours and JoeMagicians videos are what keeps inspiring me to keep reading the books despite not being the biggest reader in the world.

Really entertaining video with awesome editing skills on display. Really love the GRRM comet. How perfect for your channel..

Mayhaps his name was LML. Mayhaps he cracked the code to this very series.

I just noticed to bleeding eyes part, from the broken sword fragments. Lots of people including Melisandre dream of dead people with bleeding eyes. Always wondered about that one and what it means to see featured here in the symbolism heavy prologue.

Ooo did you hit 27k subs today? You work so hard, thanks LML! I'm definitely rewatching the long analyses playlists to brush up and get ready for the next vids.

Love how atmospheric you make your more edited videos.

I'm pumped for your Jon and Euron Night's King videos.

Amazing video, I didn't know there was THAT amount of symbolism, hyped for the other videos.

Love your content so much! Thank you so much LmL!

I don't know if you've already discussed or considered this idea, but I wanted to share a new theory I came up with for the Night's Watch. They were formed during the Long Night, yes, but their Order wasn't isolated to the North. They were scattered throughout Westeros, only coming north when the Wall was built. Hence the line: I am the watcher on the walls. Plural. As in, they stood atop multiple walls throughout the land. Not just THE Wall.

You absolutely rock, LML!!! Keep up with the heresy!!! 🥳🤘

Yet more amazing mythical/symbolism content from LmL. Keep it up, brotha! 👏🤘

Man, video after video you continue to blow me away with the in depth analysis. I can't wait for the Euron and Jon Snow videos. Keep up the great work. 👍

I've been watching your videos all-day, and I forgot how good this one is. 4 out of 5 ✳️

Officially pumped for allll that! Lol love your stuff thanks LML 😄

Great video. Been going back through the green zombie series lately.

Thank you for video LML Also question: is it possible that you and mybe Quinn and/or greyarea will make a video on the azor high(i have no idea how to spell that)prophecy i would love to hear any or all of you guys thoughts on on three things *The legendary figure himself (i mean we know jon is azor however it could be more than one person (one of which will be dany but who else) * the 12 companions who are they (their reincarnations) and what part will they play *And ghost (him and jon are so connected that i feel he must play a part) Please please do a theroy on this🙏 And sorry for long comment and don't feel pressured to do a theroy if your do busy 🤗

The combat with Royce may have been an initiation test for the single Other who fought him. The other Others were waiting for the single Other to past their test before they joined the fight. Perhaps it was both: the test of a new Other initiate is to test a human for some quality and call "clear" when the human is not a threat. Maybe its even become like the glass candle test in Old Town; the Others dont expect the human to ever be a threat and the initiation now teaches how frail humans are.

Love your videos bro!!! Keep on keeping on!! ⚔️ 🗡

Sweet! A new LmL video on the computer, Ghost of Tsushima in the PS4. For thirty minutes, I'm golden.

"...red as fire where they touched the Snow..." emphasis mine

Maybe a New Night's King is the friends we made along the way?

One question no one has ever asked. Why did Gared run back all the way to Winterfell instead of Castle black?

I love thi analysis, man. :) Solid, and well delivered. A few interesting points too. :)

I used to think that the final series of Game of Thrones had proved most of your speculations wrong, but I'm coming around to the idea that you are going to be proved right by the final books. I hope you will be, and you deserve recognition for all the fine scholarship you have displayed over the years. You are a true knight of the seven kingdoms!

Looking back on this with the info we have now with HotD - this is interesting. What is this going to mean for the Song? What if the King Who Knelt spoke to Aegon and shared their secrets? If the Others want Jon or a King for themselves maybe part of the agreement is for the Targs to keep a Stark from falling?

Shout out to Scorpiax "the illest kind of dragon whose breath is ganja smoke"!

All Hail, Lucifer Means Lightbringer!! 🥳

i may be wrong but when i first read the books in the prologue i always thought it wasnt so much the moment royce took the wound or blood dropped but the the beat he missed when tryin to parry the blow i think it was lack of fighting ability to match them that made them disregard him.

Night gathers and my watch begins

Rewatching this the day after the Winter Solstice. Thus, the longest night has ended.

Ex. Cel. Lent! As always. Your stuff makes me really want to check out this Patreon thing. Keep it up, Uncle L!

Euron being the Night King doesn’t offer much, but Jon being the Night King? Someone we look as a hero? Now that will be interesting.

Love this video and series LmL ! Little question : You theorized that there are actually 2 Azor Ahai archetypes, the good one and the evil one, so with the distinction between Jon and Euron in mind, could there be 2 sorts of Night Kings ? (again, good and bad one)

Dany is a thirteen-year-old girl surrounded by enemies who want to kill her. She is going to make some mistakes, most likely involving her dragons. Still, she'll learn from each of her mistakes, and after conquering the Seven Kingdoms, she isn't going to go around liberating the people of the world through fire (death).

I like this theory; it reminds me of the Joe Magician’s theory: „Killing of the ranger”

#MoonMeteors #PrinceThatWasPromisedToTheOthers

I know Dany's emergence from Drogo's funeral pyre is seen as a resurrection, but I think she'll die and be resurrected in the North.

The other Others are looking for an “Other”. It sounded funnier in my head. 🤣

Feels like it's worth mentioning (I'm halfway throygh, sorry if you've covered this already), the name Royce means various things associated with Royalty/Kingly

Here's a random thought: The Great Other and R'hllor aren't enemies. They're on the same team, their human champions are as well: Danaerys, Jon, Stannis, Melissandre. Dragons made to bring down the wall this time. The Targaryens changed teams 400 years ago. Jon is (at least one of) the prince that was promised. He becomes Night's King - the top agent for the Great Other. So will Danaerys. That's all I got.

Luci, Luci, Luci... Admittedly I've missed a few videos but somehow it doesn't surprise me that you've gone full Heretic.😱🤣🤣🤣 It actually makes perfect sense even if it would feel like a tragedy as so far we have no reason to sympathize with The Others or even understand them in the least. Everybody loves Jon after all but his destiny does lie in the North and no where else. I seriously doubt he'll ever go south of the Neck. Everytime I listen to you I feel like I'm in English class again...🤣🤣🤣 There's just so much information as you've analyzed this so well that I know no matter how many times I read the books I'll never see the depths you do. It's rather impressive and daunting!

What's the difference between fearlessness and stupidity?

Since I've been watching your videos, I view the books in a Total different way

Thanks for nerding out. Still. Keep hope alive. Lol...all you nerds. Thanks for being there. Through this looong daaark niiight...

YES. New video. I’m ready

Thanks for the content LML, I hope the winter winds blow soon.

Hey man love your videos

wow...the others having personality...imagine that.

Love your conntent!

I'm really feeling it!

I'm loving this series, LML. As I said on Twitter, Euron's totally going to succeed in summoning something, be it from the sea or the icy north. His whole story arc will be a bust if he doesn't. But I do see the comparison in Jon as well, now that you mention it. Now if we could just get the book when winter finally comes, and maybe it'll answer some of this, lol (9 years and 1 month as of August 12)

It would be pretty cool if the Night's King had a purpose, like keeping the Others in check in the first place. A built in fail-safe, if you will. Something like Bolvar sacrificing himself once Arthas is dead in WoW to become the new Lich King. Ironically, Bolvar is kinda fire wight-y first...

Great one.

Oh yes i needed this

I really like your theories and it could be that im just dumb. But how is it possible that Azor Ahai defeated the Others and then supposedly became Night‘s King who created the Others? I would be really thankful if someone could clarify this for me

If the blood is the trigger for the Others to kill Waymar, imagine Blain Cooper were north of the Wall at that moment. The Others would be forked, as Blain ain't got no time to bleed.

I never read this chapter on LOTR but it onlu makes me think about Aragorn Clash his Magical sword with the Dead Army to proof that he is the one to lead them. Makes me wonder who will be this one: Stannis or Jon?

The first time I was this early... well never mind.

I'm convinced Bran is Night's King. When Jon has his first wolf dream he talks with future Bran in a wierwood and balks at him because he smell Death and Darkness and Bran says "I like the darkness"

Benjen Stark went missing after Royce failed his test. I assume that didn't happen for no reason. George told his editor that Cold Hands wasn't Benjen, since I heard that I thought Coldhands was the Original Night's King who came under the power of the Greenseers after his defeat. I think the Benjen was taken to be a Night's King offscreen in similar fahion as Waymar not Jon or Euron. I think Benjen joined the Night's Watch out of Guilt for his role in Lyanna leaving with Rhaegar and thus blamed himself for her death and his father's and Brother's deaths as well. I'm not sure if Benjen knows about R+L=J. Guilt pushed him to into the NW and I think he grew to regret and resent that decision. He told Jon not to join the NW and told Jon he didn't know what he would be giving up. I think he will be eager for what the Others are offering especially if its from a beautiful female one. I like theory that Bloodraven reached out to Euron and that he is Bloodraven's greatest failure because he wants to make himself a God King when the Others comes when BR wanted him to try and stop them.

The one and only Jonerys I want is as new Night's king and Queen Jonerys

It is interesting. What if the Others we are used to are in fact being parallel with King Guard because they are Queen Guard and like a different caste or class and the Night Queen is a true other , like a banana is clones of an specific thing they all look the same but they ain’t meant to be clones. Night Queen is a true other , maybe even the last and so needs a very specific criteria for a night. We also could ignore that and just say that maybe a very specific criteria needed to be met physically which is why you have them looking or progressions of characters

There is a video of Joe The Magician called "Brandon Starks secret Bastards" that theorizes about different persons in GoT might be a bastard descendant of Brandon. For me Weymar was the #1 contender for that title and this would fit very good into this theory and that of Joe! That does not only make him a descendant of an ancient First-Men-house but of a Stark of Winterfell! Could be that the others can "track" those with Stark-blood
