I consider this scene to be the climax of the entire series. I wish I could watch it for the first time again. I have never had a show make my heart race the way this one does.
Viserion screech is so horrifying. I always thought he sounded the best of all 3 dragons. Like if dragon screech was the equivalent of human singing, Viserion has the vocals locked. A close second is the sound made by Drogon just before he breathes fire. grglrgrglgrglrgle.....fire, fire, fire....BOOM! So awesome
The book hints that the wall actually has giant trees in it. That's how it was built; from the magic of the children of the forest, the werewood tree, like the three-eyed raven, lived that didn't allow the white walkers or the dead to walk in until Night King marked Bran. It could actually just be a line of trees that slowly pumped water upwards, and over time, it turned into a wall of ice.
Jon Snow kept saying their army is coming and that is the only war that matters; for this purpose he wanted to show Dany the whitewalkers and thus took a little stroll beyond the wall and lost the dragon. With the help of that dragon, the wall's magic was broken and the night king and his army could enter. I do not understand, till wall was there , how Jon thought it is possible for them to come
This is a Whight dragon, not an ice dragon. Ice dragon are 10 times bigger than any Fire dragon and are made of Ice, mentioned in the books, and they appeared 10,000s of years ago.
TheLadyRuffian if it was a wight dragon he had raise his hand, but by white walkers/baby's he puts the hand on them. And he did put the hand on the dragon so it is a whit dragon.
I love the path that was perfectly made after the ice wall fell. It almost seemed like there was no time to show the undead climbing over the rubble. It seems that the script, or the directors, needed to speed things up. But hey... At least it's a memorable sight.
Viserion should have stayed dead in the water and not used by the knight king. they can't go in water but just magically got humongous chains around him in the water and dragged him out. BIG plothole right there but oh well... Kewwwllll undead dragon spitting blue flames! :o
They are wights, non living beings who don't care when going in the water. On top of that they can't swim which makes them easier to descend. Probably stayed there and died after chaining up Viserion.
@@BenH-jj7ii the funniest of them all, but we could just assume that since the night king has magic, then his ice spears weren't just ordinary ice carved on wood
Are you kidding me? That is the plothole you are most upset about? Considering how season 8 threw all logic and what was established in the lore completely out of the window.
I know it's all magic of a kind, but it seems wrong to me that an undead dragon can breath fire. Especially as it seems natural to infer that the advancing winter is stopping or at least slowing the undead from rotting. Internal heat caused by life itself, one would imagine would not only not be present in the dead, but undesirable.
From the show's very first season, I knew that at some point, the wall would come down, and white walkers would get across. It's like Chekhov's gun principle.
damn.... looks just like Sindragosa when she flies over the undead army of arthas in wrath of the lich king trailer lol. Maybe they should have gone for that kind of story arc for the night king instead 🤣
How Tormund didn't die in this scene is beyond me. He could never have made it to the bottom of the wall in time with "Wight-serion" destroying it. By the time it collapsed, he could only have been like halfway
You can tell how rushed this is, viserions horns change shape going from curved down to having horns identical to drogon, and the perfect path being carved out instead of a scene with the wights walking over the rubble
Another hole in the story.... If the living dead dragon was a frost breathing dragon.... wouldn't he build up the ice wall instead of breaching a gap through it?? .... just saying.............................
Bro there is an army of undead people walking around and your concern is the hole in the dragon's wings???....lol. Not only are their undead people. The dragon is also undead. But ignore all that for a second. How can a dragon (dead dragon) fly with holes in its wings?...LMAO. You are hilarious. This is a good laugh, thanks
@@brianrose7864 A story still needs to make sense. But this story simply doesn't as much as it try's to. Lord of the rings doesn't have that problem does it? Cause literally everything is explained. George made so many plotholes it ain't even fun. Unless you can turn all logic off which i can understand with your brain.
This makes no sense! an ice dragon? WTF if the dragon breathes ice, it would definitely accumulate on the wall... not destroy it haha that's blue fire!! like the one in your fucking stoves haha
Great scene but what a failure this was, Danny’s dragons shouldn’t have even been able to cross the wall in the first place due its magic, hence the white walkers wouldn’t have even been able to cross if they’d not gone lol
