Game of Thrones: Why Arya Fights for Life 

I love your work.....Can we please get a video on Michael Lee from the wire?????

do an analysis of Lion King please

Are we done with the GoT videos yet?

Can you do analysis of movies instead, break away from GOT? It's so boring now. The season is damn terrible anyway, not worth saving with all these GOT videos.

Hi, could you continue making varied videos...? Other than GOT? It's sad now that there's nothing interesting for me/or others to see other than GOT. Love your videos and looking to watch more, Thanks!

Yes! Killing Ned Stark in the first season is a major loss. However, this story conveys a lesson that is true about death. When a person dies we don't lose that relationship it just changes. Ned Stark remained very much alive in the children he raised. I would argue we continued to learn about him because of who his children became after he died.

Iya bener banget ni, moral compass nya arya ajaran dari bokapnya

nope

sorry...wrong reply under wrong comment

Ummm, do you expect the showrunners to insert these little "POV" videos into the middle of episodes so that they can help the dense understand what's going on? This amazing Arya video was created utilizing the material that the showrunners have provided over many years to bring Arya's amazing character to life. It's not their fault so many are so average in intelligence and led around by the nose of "what's popular" at the moment online. It's become very "hip" to bash this show and so here come all the dummies, parroting the garbage they are hearing. STFU and watch the Kardashians if you are incapable of understanding what's going on. Everyone is sick of hearing from people who are too stupid to even understand how fucking stupid they are.

@@jackrabbit6515 how dumb of a person are you to not see the difference between jokes and compliment and a real complaint. how much of a dumbass, dense idiot, you are to no see the parallel between this girls and what the writers do at the end of each episode. go back to your sad a frustrated life, man, your are failing at trying to sound smart. what the hell are you even doing here watching " little POV videos"??

@@IvaN-cf7qt well that's not an ad hominem attack

That's why we are mad, they don't tell story like that anymore

@@Greybews They actually do, they just tell it through symbolic story telling. To tell the story in a way which would be relatable to most people they would have had to shoot at least 9 episodes (Just a shot in the dark).

Thank you! I have learned so much from S7-8 alone. I also think everyone became "stars" and attached to their story and characters final legacy. When you take the ego out of things there are some great discussions to be had.

@@NefariousSpineLizard but they've been writing off the books since season 5 or 6 I believe I saw a RU-vid video on it I forgot what it's called but you could just look it up on Google and season 5 has some of the highest rated Game of Thrones episodes ever but I do think that these last two seasons have been a little iffy

Nyx Atropos I see what you’re saying, but the writers backed themselves and their story into a corner when they decided to only do 8 seasons. It’s unrealistic to think everything could be good when they had such limited time (and source material) to work with. If the writers are to be blamed for some of the stories inconsistencies, than GRRM should be blamed just as much. He’s having the same problem with figuring out how to get to the end of his story. At least the writers finished the story versus cutting the season off before it was finished. There are so many moving parts but people seems to only want to blame the writers. Even the cast only wanted 8 seasons.

Arya stark will going to die tonight. Mark my words

Nice english

@@hussainsk7517 Nop.

@@hussainsk7517 I certainly hope not

She definitely embraced the fact that she needed to protect herself and she took hold of that as soon as she could.

Didn´t see that coming :D

Me too i am not the most feminin girl and she made me see the beauty of something that is often critisise in women

Same. Well she got me when she told the truth in season 1 when Sansa was playing dumb. Took me a looong time to like Sansa.

Cringe... 😐

@@stephanieleblond3495 I mean it still has to be done right and it just wasn't. After the house of black and white, her character was handled very poorly. To put her on par with Brienne of Tarth is not only disrespectful to the character of Brienne (also a woman), but it's flat out unrealistic lol. Someone who has been training all their life, held her own against a malnourished, yet still deadly Jaime Lannister with two hands, and beating the Hound in single combat is on par with a girl who struggled to kill the Waif? This is absurdity on a whole other level. This is a cartoonish, comic book esk, anime power up that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Rickons death of inability to Zigzag

Robb’s death, not some stupid metaphor I mean his actual death

@@ciscomartinez6092 If only Robb had a Red Sister In the books, Catelyn survived and became Lady Stoneheart. Metaphor wise, its the death of her motherly duty

"Death of legs" lol

Ekith Box arya should be dead .As sad as it would have been it would had a better impact on the show finale and jons snows decision to end Dany .i do hope GRRm does something different in the books ,the fact she survived death so many times is ridiculous especially at the finale furthermore she is responsible for the death of the mother and the little girl she dragged out of a safe place only for drogon to burn them she should have died with them with Jon snow finding her body .

Agree. Arya kills in a calculated way. She picks an opponent or her oponents pick her... But her pick is always reasonable and always directed towards those who ultimately kill more. It a way, she collects names for the god of Death.. a names of those who stole life from him.

@Lovely_Theaceae i dont think so, she didnt kill the women because she knew they did nothing on the red wedding

I never knew people were calling her that wtf is wrong with people fr first people are hating on Sansa for no f**king reason now Arya

​@Lovely_Theaceae Nothing indiscriminate about Arya's killing spree. She's got specific targets, all of whom have wronged her or her family in egregious ways. She left the Frey women alone. She also did her work in ways where ONLY the specific targets were killed.

Brah she literally executed a 15 year old square just for witnessing her

Honor, pride... I think he knew it was his time and besides, we never actually saw him die.

When he is allegedly killed you hear a metal sword falling. Not a wooden one. He is still alive!

Isabeau he is a sword

Because he was a cocky idiot. He had 4 chances to pick up the metal swords but he chose not to

@@alphatrion100 the man Syrio was fighting was Ser Meryn Trant, the man Arya kills later. If any sword was dropped, assuming Syrio managed to pick up a guard's sword, it was Syrio's as he was stabbed by the armored Trant.

yeah we understand symbolism but the night king was built up only to get taken out by a simple stab

Cuz the last seasons were trash lol

I think she was right to go for the footsoldier initially. Tywin commits evil acts but it isn't random and it serves a strategic purpose. When Tywin first got to Harrenhall the men were torturing and murdering prisoners for fun. They were about to kill Gendry. Tywin put a stop to it and made them realize that the people they were torturing and murdering had talents that could be put to use such as Gendry with making weapons. Tywin was needed to keep his men in check because many of them commit cruel acts for the fun of it. Why Tywin can be cruel he isn't cruel without a strategic purpose behind his actions.

@@JcLeopard that is of course true, objectively tywin is no worse than others and better than many, but from aryas viewpoint:if tywin falls, the north may win.. She just did not think big back then, which is understandable.. And they do point out that flaw in logic in the books and in the show.. Looking back this may have been foreshadowing...

A Sansa one would be great

Yea I love Arya from day one❤️❤️

When she was a spunky little girl

because he's Jon Christ, our Lord and Savior of the Seven Kingdoms, first of Rhaegar's name.

Jon had literal magic resurrect him, which was foreshadowed and proven existence. Nowhere was it shown that Arya had crocodile-levels of immune system falling into dirty water.

He also got his head bashed off an anvil by a 12-foot-tall Thenn, and was miraculously unfazed.

Thank you. Or hell, we could talk about Bran being thrown several stories up from a tower and surviving or Sansa and Theon jumping from the wall of winter fell and not being paralyzed or dead. The characters in this story survive all sorts of things they shouldn’t because magic. I’m fine with all of them in a fantasy story. But only certain characters are complained about for whatever reason

Maybe Jaqen purified all the water in Braavos...as he can make water do whatever he wants it to do (reversing Arya's blindness, for instance).

It's still pretty hard, because she doesn't. She hadn't even seen a Wight up until season 8, and yet the show wants us to believe she's "destined" to kill the Night King? They literally retconned a scene from the earlier seasons just to cram in this narrative and cuck Jon out of his role. Honestly the lengths people go to to defend season 8 is ridiculous. GOT is a masterpiece of tv, except for the last three seasons. Those are trash.

It is!

Yes but it was an accident. I think she said true murder. The stable boy was not murder, it was a kill though.

Yes first one kill she definitely gets a pass for towards protecting ones self from the rat stable boy selling her to queen Cersei for a snickers bar. Z

You definitely won't like the books

Tywin was good at exterminating other nobles houses. Arya had plot armor. Lord Tywin recognized her from when Ned came to the capital. Arya had plot armor. That is all she has ever been. A skinny girl with a 3 tons of plot armor. I'm tired of the Starks being stabbed to death and rising from the dead. Its so much b.s. and unfair to the other players. They use magic for the Starks but remove it from the entire series. GOT can't end soon enough for me.

He saw her as a non-threat and actually admired her ingenuity, curiosity and raw intelligence. It gave him license to be somewhat open and indulgent. I say that they were some of the finest scenes in the whole show.

@@ctruth6185 When did Tywin see her? He wasn't there when Ned came to the capital.

@@johnathonhaney8291 To his family, he is a stranger, to a stranger, he is familiar.

I think he seen the daughter that he always wanted smart strong and listen to him when he’s trying teach them

I want Drogon to burn Arya to a crisp. C'mon B take my boy on.

I actually want to see Jon Snow take on Grey Worm. About time he got a good fight again. Arya probably tries to make Dany die in a fire, fails, and has to use something less poetic.

Dang, My hero died in season 1. Lucky You. I have mixed feelings for Arya. I think they made her too powerful. If people like her exist the dynamic of the world should be more different.

Noooo Arya can't die Not today death

Samuel Raji who?

@@samuelraji8343 You're 100% correct. Arya is not only overpowered, but it's so cartoonishly done it's ridiculous. It's cringe because people pay attention to what they're watching. And you can clearly see Arya is an anime character.

The unrealistic part is the horse's behaviour. Horses are quite jumpy and fearful. A horse without a rider in a burning, crumbling city would go mad with fear and try and escape by all means, not calmly stand there. Unless it's been warged, ofc.

@@owlnemo Could be.

I think the problem was it just felt pointless...she rode out of the city and then was in the city when it was conquered. There was no pay off to that scene

You say that like Brienne of Tarth doesn't exist. Misogyny is always prevalent in the world of game of thrones, every woman has to deal with it, even Cersei and Dany. But you can't just say "all who disagree with Arya's arc just don't like her because she's a woman" like, is that really your only defense? They fucked up *every* character arc in season 8. There's not one character who got the end they deserved. Varys suddenly became stupid and got killed, Jon got cucked out of his starring role and just became Dany's lapdog until the show decided it was time for him to think for himself again, Tyrion was an absolute idiot throughout all of season 7 and 8, Sansa did literally nothing and somehow became the smartest person in the kingdoms, Jaime went through a genuinely great arc only to backpedal at the very last moment and go back to his season 1 self, Brienne became a sniveling child because he didn't return her affections instead of just kicking his ass and dragging him back to Winterfell like she would, and Cersei was your generic Disney villain. Dany went through an entire character arc in a single episode then became Hitler. Arya was more of a plot device than a character, because what does killing the Night King accomplish? It doesn't change her, doesn't give her any growth other than simply tying up a plot. She doesn't even do what she said she was gonna do and kill Cersei. These are just a handful of examples.

Maria Carolina Pinilla me neither. But she will be with us in Spirit yo.

It's not

That first line XD! Well said!

Yeah I agree. I really loved what they did with Arya this season, especially since I really didn't like what they did with her in Season 7.

What was fulfilling about Arya teleporting behind the Night King? Screaming as she did it and then stabbed him with her eyes closed at his weak spot which she wasn't told about? A girl has plot armour so thick Needle would need to be a mile long to pierce through it

@@jameswitts3793 dUdE shE iS a DeaDlY aSsAssiN

@@jameswitts3793 There's a distinction between a character arc and a plot choice. I don't think Arya killing the Night King soils her character, but rather enriches it, as seen in the video above. However, it does harm Night King's character arc. Arya was never meant to kill the Night King. The plot armour problem is prevalent in the last few seasons and it is revolting. It speaks to dnd's utter failure. However, I think it makes her less likable but doesn't weaken her character.

kaledov have you been drinking milk from a rusty bucket

Brienne of Tarth exists.

The show is precisely keeping the arc of Arya because, in the end, she refuses to kill Cersei. By doing this she is refinding her humanity (as you said) and she proves that she had not become only a badass assassin

The show has always kept her arc. She was lost by her desire of vengeance , at the limit to loose her humanity and her personality. At the end of the she she becomes again herself , she know who she is and who she is not, what she wants and what she doesn't want ( like killing people on command without asking question ), etc... At the end she is a full individual who makes her own road, and is not limited by the beliefs of others ( like a girl must wear dress ).

​@@orionsbelt7028 kind of a little late for her to turn back at that point.

Not good bye... until we meet again

She does. And just peaces out of Westeros. Politics isn't exactly her field.

They already did it. Its about varys vs Little Finger.

Ronnia Cherry tbh i think it’s because theirs are the only characters who had a good and logical ending to their story lol

@@alexaofelia2750 I had a feeling thats exactly what it was so glad we were right lol. I also remember an interview where Sansa and Arya laughed off the throne and said who wants it anyway and that was so perfect.

To the best of my knowledge, I know only 4 actors who openly criticized s8- Peter Dinklege (Tyrion),Kit Harrington (Jon),Emila Clarke (Dany) and Colenth Hill (Varys). Everyone else were either okay with it,or if they were disappointed, didn't show it.

@@CrimsonCharan As far as I can see, only Colenth seems genuinely dismayed at how his character ended up. All the others had their perhaps quibbles, but ultimately went with the ideas and I believe both Emilia and Kit actually defended the turn of the events and D&D against the haters.

I've seen this channel liking posts about Sansa's video quite a few times before. I've got a feeling that Sansa's journey will be the final video for this show on this channel somehow.

Brij Manek yes! A pragmatic leader, half Tully, half Stark. Cunning and scheming for security, but not in the selfish self-interest of those who taught her and have no care but themselves. I think now that Sansa knows of life’s hardships and reality, she is a true Stark prepared for Winter Coming.

Arya stark will going to die tonight. Mark my words

Sansa is completely self-serving. She’s always wanted to be a queen. She sacrificed every Stark who’s died thus far. She’s jealous of Jon and admires Cersei. She lies to and betrays the family she has left. She risked Jon’s life by telling his secret. She almost certainly informed Cersei of Dany’s return to Dragonstone. She does nothing but sew discord, just like her mentor little finger.

@@keithray9421 You a butthurt Dany fan? Get over it. Sansa is awesome.

khelsei jhordyn Exactly yo!😂😂😂😂😂

Sansa, Tyrion & Queen Daenerys never put themselves in situations where they could die. They have intelligence not plot armor. Arya died in Braavos at the hands of the Waif. Nor would Arya have killed the entire Frey army. She'd have died. We never saw Jacquen doing stuff like that. Nor, is she more skilled than, he. She doesn't have stealth. Jon died at Castle Black by a stabbing. He died from hypothermia beyond the wall trying to bring back a white walker. When did Arya have time to kill all the Freys and then, bake them into a pie? The pie takes at least 2 hours. Arya can't bake. We know Hotpie can bake but he wasn't there. Arya can't cook & she killed the cook. So plot armor baked the Freys into a pie. What else ya' got? Dragons are power not plot armor. Plot armor has been used to kill two dragons in the books scorpions don't work. What else ya' got? Decimating haters since 2012.

​@@ctruth6185 " So plot armor baked the Freys into a pie." this phrase alone shows you have no clue what plot armour is.
