An example of Grrms love of playing w/ traditional story telling tropes. The galant knights in the story that are supposed to be virtuous are actually pieces of 💩. And those who aren’t considered knights whether bc of their gender or bc of how they’re perceived by others are actually the most truest knights in the story
Yea i guess he wasn't really thinking of their family bloodline more so just the girls and making sure they were safe, he became their guardian of sorts. He was a complex character in that he was a good man who committed evil deeds but by the end he had found some redemption through the Starks and killing his brother.
If you really think about it, The Hound was key in saving all of the living from the Night King. Arya would not have survived without his protection and learned his ways for her to become an assassin who eventually killed the Night King.
@@johnychrist5475 He has 2 daggers and a sword. I think it's more so that the Hound is prepared to fight if they encounter someone. Arya attacking the dude caught the Hound off guard.
@@SamFisher007 Yeah. That was it. He didn't have a problem helping her kill all those guys - he just didn't want to be surprised about it. Being Surprised can get you killed. .
When Robert stopped the fight: Why does no one ever talk about that smooth ass duck and bow the Hound simultaneously makes, when the mountain takes that last swing at him?
Absolutely brilliant that you picked up on that, I had to go back and rewatch it a few times just to make sure I heard it properly. I'm replying to an 8-year-old comment, will I get a reply?
@@BlueSpiritFire1 .....thank you for gracing me with a reply 😁 My intentions are now to rewatch the whole show and try to pick up on the details I missed. I bid you good day @BlueSpiritFire1
@@Gaslitelilbaby and fought through his ptsd by riding through fire to get Arya out of the way of seeing Robb's body: it's subtle but in the clip he turns her away from view
I really like the Hound. He seems like such a scary man. But he is actually one of the kindest man in the game. He known what’s right and what’s wrong. He don’t know how to talk kindly, but he protected both the Stark girls.
He is a man with a heart. Large one judging by the way it went through the serie. If I'd need to pick up a group of five from GoT... There would be Jon, Arya, Hound, Jaime and Syrio.
I just noticed that when Sandor and Arya escaped the burnt Stark camp, he picked up a Twins banner so that they could've escaped without being assaulted. Smart man!
He didnt just keep her alive, he mentored her. When she left him for dead, it hurt his soul. When he found her again, he could die happy and for himself.
imagine how hard it must have been for the hound to fight right next to a fire, with a burning sword in front of his face and a burning shild on his arm. it must have been actual hell for him. the way he slams himself to the ground with that yelp in an attemt to suffocate the flames gives me shivers everytime i see it.
The Hound has his good and bad side but to me he still remains one of my top favourite characters in this series, he just feels so real. And I love his relationship with Arya, he acts like her father even if she can't see it most of the time, those two make a great duo. SPOILER!!! I hear the actor who plays Sandor was spotted at a hotel in Belfast where the cast usually stays. I hope it's true that he's going to be back in the show, I was so sad at the end of season 4 when he was dying.
+Ella Kit Jump on the Clegane Bowl hype train. Rumor has it Sandor Clegane as the Gravekeeper will serve as the septom's champion in Cersei's trial by combat, which mean's he is fighting Ser Robert Strong, Gregor. Would be pretty rad.
he really doesn't even have much of a bad side. He's not exactly one to mince words and may not be the NICEST guy, but he was always pretty good overall.
A Great! Duo! Cheers! Bet there missing this famous game of thrones As Much As Others! Even if it's into the fire🔥into the doom Of Gloom Or the Longest Winter yet to come, Or, not! In All Of beautiful Westorosi! 7 kinddoms! 🗡️👑🗡️
@@velimasuku8808His name is Baratheon, regardless of genetics. The same way in House of the Dragon those bastards have bare the Sea Snake's name despite being obviously not of his line.
Whenever this man comes on screen it's *fucking gold* he always spits truth and reality to face and has the greatest fight's throughout the whole series
Even though he is a brutal man, ruthless, and definitely not compassionate at the end of the day. I just see him like a great big papa bear around Arya, and like a confused puppy with a crush around Sansa. I just love him so much!
Luvtht cool big papa bear❤️🐻 to many! InGameOfthrones! It's Amazing how the Hound didnt give A jot About the fire 🔥in bigbattlescene With Treacherous Mountain!🗡️⚔️🗡️🔥
He didn’t have a “crush” for Sansa. He was compassionate because of his past. The Starks were a people of loyalty and compassion. He sought that in them thru Arya and Sansa.
@@LostCause36 Aye. All his life he served loyally to corrupt, greedy, lying cowards and CUNTS in the south. His brother Gregor, being Knighted, just for being a brutal, ruthless monster that obeyed fould and dishonorable orders, without question, made him despise the people around him, and the people he so loyally served. Just like he said to Arya: He knew ppl that liked beating little girls, rape them, and leave them with their throat cut open... No honor in that... no réal Knight would do such a thing... Meryn Trant wás such a 'Knight', and he was one of the worst shits in the Capitol... and a Kingsguard! From all the worthless shits in painted-armor hé had been around, he had his fill,... the legendary House Stark, and the North: people that actually kept their Word, and took Honor seriously to the Death... thát was his las hope of finding some dignity and integrity... Thats why he empathized with Sansa, offered to take her back Home. When Sansa refused, and he found Arya, he saw his final chance to reach the Starks and the North, with an honorable cause: Bring back their kin, and be respected....for once in his life. Even Goffrey, the little shit of a King he protected, all his life, mocked him as 'Dog'.. Not even the respect to call him by his actual Name...
I never get tired of how he literally just picks up Sansa so easily after killing those rapist and just going on his way. Not the most "knightly" rescue but an impressive on nonetheless.
It's interesting in retrospect, now we know how compassionate the Hound is to the Stark sisters, that Littlefinger would go out of his way to paint him as such a formidable person.
The Hound and Arya were the best characters in the whole series. I just love he is compassionate to the stark girls, calling Arya "Little Girl" or "Girl" and calling Sansa "Little Bird". He had something paternal in him.
He's not a psycho, he was broken and had to put the tough guy facade around a very gentle heart. His brother is a true psycho, he wasn't bullied into it, and he does far worse things.
When the Hound sees what the Freys did to Robb and his Direwolf, it's like he's saying "what the fuck is wrong with these people?", which is saying a lot coming from the Hound
2:26 The question of who would win, the Mountain or the Hound, is settled already. Even in this brief clash, we can see the Hound already outmanuevering his brother. The Mountain is strong and quick for a man his size, but The Hound is far more skillful. The Hound would wear down The Mountain and cut him to pieces in a longer battle.
Was just thinking this. The only thing The Mountain held over Clegane was childhood trauma. It took the Mountain becoming an undead zombie to be able to take Clegane down with him
The Hound was my favorite character. I hope somehow they bring him back, I don't even care if its in a chessy way. He was 100% truth with no compassion for the weak. He knew the world that he was living in, the violence that people are capable of, he was never delusional in the role that he had in the world. He was built to kill. Only in the end did we really get another side of him, a somewhat teacher role. Would have loved to see how much more he could've taught Arya on how to survive and fight.
Tbh he wasn't even that weasly. I can't remember him personally doing anything that messed up, he was just constantly being taken advantage of by the people around him. First by Cersei, then by Tyrion, and then finally by the 7
gotta love how the hound's skills are put in perspective against some average guys like in the last scene he straight up destroys all 3 of them in like 10 seconds. They didnt even have a chance
Bit of a late response but I actually did check it out back when you mentioned it but anyway I think it's a cool theory and plus with what they're doing with the sparrows in the show it would definitely make sense my only issue with it is that he wouldn't be the same character still a fucking beast but different personality wise which was a huge part of why I loved him in the show but still I'll take anything as a long as he's back I hated the way he died
The Hound is misunderstood, he is a good guy that has seen the ugly side of Knighthood and following orders. He is put in bad situations yet he always want to help others when he can
such a good knight of the realm, bowed when his king said stop even though his big ass brother was swinging at his head, protected a shit king, saved a lady in destress, and motivated his men to not die with a clean sword. RIP Ser Sandor Clegane!
Never thought about it before but it’s interesting how Sandor believes he’s a terrible person but only he’s the one that can’t see that he’s actually a great person with great morals. Out of all The GOT characters, he always did what’s right no matter the consequences. He always did what was morally correct regardless of who it involved. A true knight in every aspect
The Hound and the Mountain stole the show for me. In particular the Hound. I guess, he is an anti-hero. When they both fall, it is so poetic. A tear went down my cheek and I clapped alone at home. It was awesome.
Just finished Season 4. I don't spoil anything, but I think The Hound is absolutely one of the best characters in the whole series. "King Jeoffrey's greasy cunt" was one of the most hilarious I've ever heard, I don't know why.. "Brienne of FUCKING Tarth" .... The Hound Rules!
I like how bronn saves his arse at the Blackwater not long after they nearly killed eachother in the bar and then immediately shows off his knife skills in close range fighting
He's my favourite character in the whole show, He's an asshole and full of bad temper but he somehow ends up doing the right thing and redeems himself. I would even go as far as to consider him as a rolemodel.
The pairing of Arya and The Hound is the best part of the series...It's an old theme...Leon The Professional or a hundred years ago Charlie Chaplin and The Kid...or Jackie Gleason in Gigot back in the 60's or Beauty and the Beast... Pairing a down & out type of grown man who can barely care for himself, suddenly thrown into a situation of choosing to take up the challenge of caring for a waif, which brings out the true nature of the "beast".
Joffrey trying to break free of the hound while demanding everyone around him be executed is a perfect example of his character. Your guards are being murdered, the citizens are attacking you and you want to stand in front of them and demand their death
Throughout the early parts of the show he's only referred to as the Hound and as his story progresses and he does more to redeem himself, people begin referring to him as Clegaine to the point that nobody really calls him the Hound anymore. That's character progression.
I'm afraid you won't there grand father saved tywins father from a bear with some dogs what is there banner and tywin told there family to make his kids into killers The mountain would kill servants at night because he was over 6,5 feet at 14 and served tywins army ... Not really anything else to it the show DOSENT already tell you
In den Büchern ist viel besser geregelt. Woher sollte "Erklärfinger" Sandors Geheimnis wissen? In den Büchern erzählt Sandor sein größtes Geheimnis allein Sansa.
hound and eddard were my favourite characters and i would like to see them fighting together, which is impossible. i love that feeling when i imagine them fighting together..
the hound is not a good person. hes a survivor. if you really think about it, that is why you love him. sure, he has a sense of humanity, but then again, what less would u expect from anyone else? because we don't see him beating children and raping women, and occasionally offers a hand or word of advice to a fellow human, we tell ourselves we like him because he "has a heart". In reality his bad deeds greatly outweigh his good ones, and he is just the perfect example of a man that understands good and evil, but above all understands how the real world works, and does whatever necessary to survive. if you look at all his "good deeds" you can never really say for sure that hes not doing them just because he knows it can lead him to some kind of payday.
Sandor was a flawed person. Yet, when I think about it we all are.He has power and he did not use it within the realm of honor. In the end however we see who he really is.We learn he is on a path of redemption. One would hope Sandor isn't dead and he will redeem himself by destroying his brother.
Sweetwatermc2 Unless there was a Maester hiding behind that rock, my fav character in GameOfThrones is dead. My interest in this series has drop by 20% as a result.
GrimDontGiveAFuck i cant really give away any "spoilers" because i dont know any.. but after some reading i was glad myself to see that in the books it is "hinted" that Sandor survives. supposedly he makes it to some isle where he is helped by monks and starts a new life, whereby "the hound" dies and Sandor starts anew. Not sure really sure how GOT could possibly incorporate that bit, but its at least good to know that in some way, in some fictional universe, Arya refusing to mercy kill The Hound results in his ultimate survival.
Magneticitist Well that's kinda neat, better than this zombie Catelyn Stark stuff I heard HBO decided to not use from the books. Now a zombie Hound or Mountain would be kinda cool. I'm suspecting The Mountain is gunna turn into some crazed mindless killer after that mad Maester cures him of the venom.
GrimDontGiveAFuck yea i can understand not bringing the zombie Cat into the mix, considering in the books she really is just on some sort of random killing spree that would be difficult to tie into the GOT story line.. But the Mountain is definitely going to be a zombie. I feel like they are going to let us fans down way too hard if they don't at least figure how to bring back the Hound to fight his brother. And from what I can tell, it is entirely possible.. One strong possibility is the two will fight in a trial by combat, Cersei being who the Mountain fights for of course. i get a brain boner just thinking about that one.
i wish they would of handled beric coming back so many times better. by like the 7th he's practically a shell of a human, can't remember shit about himself. in the show he's just like sup doods, looks like it worked again, this is mildly annoying
Aryas face in the last clip. You can tell she thought killing him for mutilating her brother would somehow make her feel better but it didn’t. Damn, the acting in this show is so on point.
I like The Hound best because he is most likely to be involved in some action, almost all the other characters talk too much in my opinion. I like my swords and sorcery to be more action packed. Glad you liked it.
I love Sandor 'cause he's human. conflicted. Not the usual Clegane's we're used to. His job sucks, his past sucks, his future looks bleak. A sad guy. also, his crush on Sansa Stark reminds me of me. Pining for the girl above your station.
I love that The Hound is visually the last person we’d want looking after the Stark sisters (terrifying, hardened and deadly), but ended up being the exact person we wanted looking after those girls. Fearless, kind, and had a lot to teach them. Even dogs are welcome to wolves.
