Two epic actors. i mean Charles Dance and Peter Cushing, they just grab your attention and hold it, thats what makes a good actor, you can always tell a bad actor because you lose interest very quickly and forget what they are even saying. Good actors are captivating, and It is great to have a show like Game Of Thrones where there is such a pool of talent and a wonderfully written story by George to just take the audience on a huge adventure. On one hand we have a world trying to find its feet irl, but amongst all the chaos we have a wonderfully written tale in a song of ice and fire, it is a truly scary yet wonderful time to be alive, but as the saying goes.......Chaos is a ladder!
Emmentalcheese Titos : (escorted by guard to his room) but im not tired! Guard : apologize lord. Im not escorting you so you could rest but for your own safety.. Titos : ...
Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) is, by far, the best actor and character portrayal on the show. He dominates every scene he’s in. A wonderfully complex character.
They’re having one before this for dunk and egg and the dance or the dragons but if they ever did the war of the nine penny kings and the ascension of the Mad king that would be dope
Yeah, I think the problem they have in the books is a mix of the war and debts racked up by it outpacing the economy and the risk of inflation (the more gold you produce the less valuable it becomes if the demand doesn't equally rise)
+Lord Frostwind That's what happens when you flood the market with gold bars or dollar bills. They become less valuable. That's what modern economists who don't think there's anything wrong with flooding the market with dollars don't get. Back in my childhood, a large deluxe action figure was $50. Now it's $200. In my lifetime, we saw the dollar drop in value four times to its original value. My science teacher in grade school told me it was worse: she grew up in a time when burgers and fries don't even cost a dollar. Now, if you want a full set of burgers and fries from a random establishment, be it McDonalds or White Castle, it costs you almost $10. The price went up ten times the value of what it once was when my science teacher was still a wee little girl. If we don't put a stop to this, our kids will be spending upwards of $20-$100 for a decent meal. Our savings will be destroyed. That's why this inflation and printing money business HAS TO STOP. The Federal Reserve is killing the worth of the same currency it's printing like mad. People will switch out to the Japanese Yen or the Euro just to save their wealth. Nobody will trust the dollar ever again if it becomes as over-printed as the Yuan.
@@HolyknightVader999 Dude, the dollar is actually way too strong. US goods are not competitively priced in the global market, because we don't have ENOUGH inflation.
@@anonuniversal364 That's complete horseshit. Back then, people can get a decent meal in a fast food joint for a dollar. Now, you'd need up to $10 just to get a decent meal.
@@HolyknightVader999 The price of milk in 1959 was $1/gallon and the median household income was $5400. Today the price of milk is $3.50/gallon and the median household income is over $50,000. Things were not cheaper in the past relative to income.
lol. The Swyfts gave up a hostage (a daughter, I think) immediately when they couldn’t pay. Call them cowards if u like, but as of ASOIAF you still call them a current house 🤷♂️
And how did this terrifying man die? A man whom sundered castles and buried families alive? A man who was the true king of Westeros behind puppets and one many wars? Hah, on the shitter, two crossbows in his heart, from a man he thought inferior.
Vibhanshu Vaibhav Tywin thought that all men and women should be as psychopathic as him. At one point in the story he was poised to have the north with Tyrion and Sansa, the west with Cersei and that gay Tyrell, and the south with Margery and Dorne. The one thing he was incapable of seeing is that humans are not perfect robots. Emotions, frailty, fear, love, honor are all things Twyin was incapable of reconciling. He could have won the war. He would have won the war. But he treated humans as chess pieces, and not as individuals.
@@arunshukla5664 If Arya was the one to kill him it would've been karma for the red wedding. But seeing that Arya killed Frey for that, I actually think its karma cause he just couldn't see beyond Tyrion's size, if he had recognized his son's wits and his mind for strategy and put him to a better use instead of treating him as a monster whom only lived because of his last name, he would probably still be alive. Tywin's death was karma for taking for granted the child that was most like him. (Yes, Cersei also is very smart like him, but all she cares about is her children, on another hand, Tywin couldn't give a f*** about them, he only cared for the Lannister legacy)
To be fair, the Reynes and Tarbecks HAD indeed been taking advantage of Tywin's family, and he did GIVE them a chance to pay up. They should've listened...
Aerys & Rhaegar both went and ruined that peace, Aerys for being a gigantic fool and treating Tywin like shit and Rhaegar and Lyanna running away they did without letting no one in their families no and in turn, getting their families driven to the point of near extinction.
Since Tyrion is the only Lannister Left Alive I guess he completely owns casterly Rock but come to think of it he did kill his father and they probably won't let him go back there but whatever
i finally met my twin when i saw Trump and Tywin. I understand them very much and operate very much like they do in my business world. woe to my enemies. lol
The Raynes of Castameer seems unrealistic. The Lanisters have a terrible army. They haven't won a single battle in the books and the show. I feel like they may have overexaturated a bit. Also why would 300 people flea into the mines if the mines could be filled in. Wasn't there a castle around the mine? Haha idk
Hevan Sent Battle of Blackwater Bay Battle of the Green Fork Battle of the Gold Tooth Second Siege of Riverrun Sack of Highgarden (only in the Show) These are all the Battles and Sieges the Lannisters have won in book and show. And the Lannister have the best armed Army and at the beginning of the Show their host was 60000 men strong
That castle looks like it was built on a swamp waiting to happen anyway. For all we know, maybe it was just one of those random acts of nature that the Lannisters benefited from by not sending aid.
I'm not doubting their fighting abilities, but now we're supposed to believe that they are master craftsmen carpenters who can build damns within a day? It would just be easier to starve them out or smoke them out but there is no way that a medieval type of army is going to revert that much water within a day or two. Those mines where probably the source of the flood. That's actually one of the dangers of mining for gold and other metal, you run the risk of drowning in a mine flood.
The Reynes and Tarbecks were minor houses and pledged to the Lannisters so not only were they weak, but they were in no position to fight back. Robb had Winterfell's army in addition to his 10+ lords bannermen AND the Tullys and Freys. To top it all off, they had the conviction to fight, since the Lannisters had fucked over most of them. It was only after Robb started tripping up(marrying Jeyne and executing Lord Karstark) that he lost the war, and even then it was due to the Freys and Boltons betraying them. My point is, the Reynes and Tarbecks aren't a comparable force to all the northmen under one banner.
WOW I had watched this whole thing imagining Tywin as a seasoned 30 year old commander/ warrior to have completed this feat at 19 is just insane. He is absolutely my favorite character
3:42 "When disciplining unruly vassals, most lords send armies. My father only had to send a singer." Probably the most intimidating thing I ever heard.
I love how this one guy just came to Casterly Rock, yoinked all their shit and established one of the most powerful families of all time .....an appropriate start to the Lannister lineage
I prefer the Theory of him Scaring off the Casterlies. It's funnier in my opinion than him just impregnating one of the Casterly Maidens. Imagine you're in your castle trying to sleep, and you suddenly hear someone whispering in your ear while you're sleeping. You wake up, but noones there. Then you hear Screaming, and Howling coming from the great hall, but you go to check, and there's noone there. You think it's a Demon, but it's just a very smart guy hiding in the shadows, and doing all of this to steal your castle.
@@jonnyb.animationstutorials7119 I mean it’s absurd that a wealthy lord would be scared of some midnight screams and noises and just fck off and leave all his wealth behind.
@@architius Imagine you're in your room at 3am trying to sleep, and all of a sudden you hear these horrifying screams coming from another room in your house. You'd be terrified out of your mind. It's not hard to imagine that after a while of Lan the Clever tormenting them and making them think they're castle was haunted or cursed, that they packed up what possessions they could quickly, and got the hell out of there.
@@PorkotylerClips I think Tywin was actually okay with not being the actual King. It didn't put as much a Target on his head, he was able to control things from behind the scenes.
MrFantocan His version of Lan the Clevers tail made me question whether he gave the Casterly the Reynes and Tarbecks treatment. Could you imagine Cersei narrating this?
First warning: Tywin asking for repayment. Second: Warning, Tywin taking Walderon Tarbeck hostage. Final Warning: The Reynes and Tarbecks being summoned to Casterly Rock. Let it never be said that Tywin was unreasonable.
"My father allowed eternity to last a year !" The best line to describe "Tywin son of Tyttos of house lannister Lord of Casterly rock and Warden of the west" badassery.
Fun fact: Charles Dances was the voice actor of Emyhr Var Emeris from the witcher, ironically, both men are considered most powerful in their continents :).
@@NettiGamingNo they would have created a dynasty lasting a thousand years if not more. Tywins biggest misstake was not making Tyrion his succesor as well as not forcing Jamie to have a rightfull heir to the throne by impregnating sansa Stark as well as never giving Joffrey any power at all. His flaw of not seeing that Cersei and her child were sadistic evil people who should never have been given power was another big mistake.
@@DeionSC2Not really, not putting Tyrion as his succesor was one if the biggest mistakes he ever made. Everyone knew Tyrion was the only child who had the same sharpness of mind as Tywin. Also not seeing the weakness in Cersei and her children was another big mistake. Everyone could see that Cersei and her line would lead to the ruin of the house lannister, only Tywin couldn't truly accept Cersei being the weak link. With Tyrion as king the seven kingdoms would have been united.
The Rains made three fatal mistakes: 1. They assumed that the son was as toothless as the father. 2. They assumed that when Tywin came knocking, he'd come to conquer, when in truth he came to annihilate them. 3. They didn't pay what they owed.
headhunter 9865 this is why a just ruler is short lived.... justice is relative. A ruthless leader that does what needs to be done but also know his limits however is well respected and what we call successful
I mean, it's not like they weren't offered plenty of ways out: 1. They fucked with their liege lord for years, maybe decades. That's already bad. 2. Tywin told them to repay their debt. They laughed him off. 3. Tywin imprisoned one of them. Instead of taking the message and finally paying up, they threw a tantrum, forced Tythos to release Walderan and to forget their debts. That's even worse. 4. A year later, Tywin called them to answer for all their BS. This is the moment where they still could have obeyed and maybe their houses would have survived. Instead they picked up arms against their lord, and the rest is history. So yeah, they very much had it coming.
“Unlike the Casterlys though, we won’t even have a castle to remember our names”, well there’s the city of Lannisport so people forgetting your names will hardly be an issue I think.
Countercurrents They meant that great houses needed castles for their names to be remembered (ex. Casterlys = Casterly Rock). King’s Landing doesn’t have a name of a house in it now doesn’t it?
@@Mike-do3oy The issue is that Tywin saw it as a necessary lesson to teach his son or others. Ella and her children's murder had a point to it. Killing the rebels when his father was weak had a point. Salting and burning fields had a point to it. None of it is needless in his eyes. I can liken it to President Snow from the Hunger Games when he speaks to Katniss in the 4th movie. "We both know I'm not above killing children but I'm not wasteful." Tywin often does harsh things but it is never reckless evil for evil's sake. While Cersei seems to take his worse lessons to heart, Tyrion and Jamie do provide the reader with the more moderate lessons for ruling. Tyrion is said to be Tywin's true son because they think similar and people love Tyrion. The only difference is Tyrion has yet to be the Lord of the House and is limited due to his stature in war parts but I do 100% think that Tyrion would do much the same as Tywin if he thought the situation called for it.
Mac Dege I understand what your saying, of course he had to have them executed because of the possibility of the kids surviving and eventually usurping one of his grandchildren. The evil part comes in when he suggested that they rape and split her and her children in half, there are easier ways to kill women and children. That was just cruel
You realize that he could’ve plundered their castles and taken them as repayment. But he didn’t. That is why you fear him. Because if he goes to war, nothing will remain.
Plundered for what? The Casterly Rock is rich as fck, their gold mine never fcking runs out in a thousand years. Tywin never cared for gold, it's just a means to an end for him. All he craves is legacy from the moment he sees his father dragging their family name into the mud. That's why he never trusted laughs and never did it himself nor smile (except few mentioned instances in the book).
The Reins of Castamere needs to be the next spinoff in the game of thrones universe! Tywin Lannister at his absolutely best and worst, his prime!! I would be sat!!
They would have to make it a series that’s only one season along similar to Roman Empire on Netflix it would probably start off with Tywyn and his brothers. The war of the nine penny Kings Tywins return, Tywin Building The Lannister faction into a proper army, and then there is conflict with Tarbeck and house reyne.
This needs to be shown in another series along with Roberts Rebellion. Also I'd like to know how Tytos reacted afterwards, probably weakly trying to lecture Tywin but gets owned in return and unofficially steps down as Lord of Casterly Rock. The laughing lion who was weak.
If you're gonna record something and reupload it can you not blast the windows errors sound constantly, seriously why would you upload this knowing those sounds are in it, scrap it and start again thats what anyone would do.
They are not eradicated in the books even so she fucked herself in the process and didn’t think of long-term only doing it out of spite. Like Tywin said she’s not nearly as smart as she think she is
Oh shit, so I’m seeing a good bit of historical parallelism from Tywin Lannister to King Henry V, of England - and guess what Henry’s family name was... Lancaster.
TheAbsoluteBest they were red lions, they are small timers, real Lions are gold, and that is big timer. Those red lions are just a bunch of wanna be Lannister. It's like a cat pretending to be a Tiger?
Reliably Top Player No, it's not. I was never not chill. Just pointing out something else that Dan and Dave fucked up. Look up Malbork Castle. Doesen't look as large or impressive today, but it covers much more land than casterly rock.
Reliably Top Player Really Really fucked up highgarden. Plus no battle and Jamie has to negotiate with Olena? A Redwyne. Not either of Mace's two other sons.
It was pretty disapointing to see. I have not even read the books yet and I thought it barely looked like a castle, it came off like some medieval prison.
Good voice reading and pictures as ever but the shows version of casterly rock is a poor substitute for what it should have been. And when Jaime says even dragon fire would have washed over it like water? Bullshit ser, I take it harrenhall the mightiest, largest, strongest castle of all time was made out of chocolate?
I hate to be that nerd but it's a giant mountain, measured three times the height of the Wall, with caverns and mines running through in it. Harenhall was five narrow towers
It's said the valerians used their dragons to melt stone in order to shape it although perhaps its dragons were of a greater calibre that the Targaryen's. Even so a blazing fire in tight confines quickly eats away the oxygen.
Apparently High Garden, the centre of the Reach, known for being the most fertile of all the seven kingdom, consists of uplands that would only be suitable for low intensity pasture.
Tywin great leader, military commander, and soldier. That can never be denied. However he was a horrible mentor bc he could not give his children the upbringing they required to be what he wanted for them and he could never see the potential of them
