The plot points themselves aren't that bad in S08, the biggest issue was the speedrun, closing the two biggest plotines in a single 6 episode season was just too much. Sucks that the showrunners had a targeted number of seasons limit on themselves and running it was such big work.

To those that only stuck to just the series like me, GOTs no doubt looked like a throne made of iron with the design of having swords at the rest And HotD's really gave the impression of a conquerer's chair, with melted swords all around upto the very bottom of the steps where the blades also became a barrier of isolation, depicting absolute solo rule

@@Eru-Ash indeed. On my other favourite channel for GOT and LOTR, In Deep Geek, the host, Robert describes Cregan Stark turning up at the end and 'just acting like a Boss'. He brings down an army of battel hardened Northmen, all of whom have a death-wish to die fighting rather than freeze in the harsh winter, and basically takes over King's Landing, lines up all those in court he deems traitors, acts and judge, jury and executioner of them. Even though the Tully lads had won an earlier battle and were on the same side as Stark, he still puts them in their place to. As the book says 'Compared to Lord Stark, they were boys, but he was a man'. Had it not been for the wisdom of the Lady Arryn of the Vale, Cregan Stark would have continued the Dance of the Dragons, and not stopped until he had utterly wiped out House High Tower, Baratheon and Lannister.

@AllTheArtsy Год назад

Dance of the Dragons is really a story about the mismanagement of a kingdom during peaceful times, which led to war, which is very similar to the game of thrones that commences after Robert died in the main series. If Jaehaerys just settled on the matter of succession as being primogeniture, regardless of sex, then the Dance may have not happened. Viserys is an even bigger fool. He came into power only because the female line was rejected, and yet he wanted to ignore the precedent and install his daughter as heir, without changing the laws and making it so that male primogeniture was not the law of the land. Even Rhaenyra, once she gets the throne, gives the seat of some major houses to male heirs even tho there are older women in line. Even she does not believe in women ruling as a matter of birthright, she only wants an exception for herself. This is why this is a tale with no heroes. They wage war only for themselves and their quest for power.

@davidlewis5312 Год назад

in defense Viserys, he was long without a male heir save his volatile brother and had to go with the only horse he had for a heir, his daughter. To his credit, he stuck with his guns after the birth of Aegon and Aemond but... he really shouldn't have taken a second wife if he felt that strongly about it.

@AllTheArtsy Год назад

@@davidlewis5312 this is exactly it. if he really wanted his daughter to be the next and future queen, then he should not have fathered anymore children. if anything happened to his daughter, then his brother and his issue return in line as heirs to the throne. i can assume they're gonna do well by Viserys based on interviews, but i just have no sympathy for a weak king that caused so many lives through his inaction and indecision

18:34 "Thrones ran out of books to adapt in season 5." - That's not true and people need to stop saying it. There is a lot in books 4 and 5 that D&D didn't even bother to try adapting. They already had to split book 3 over two seasons because it was too much to adapt in one season, but then book 4 and book 5 (which by the way is about as long as book 3!) _together_ somehow fit into one season? Utterly impossible, they left out a shitton of stuff, from Dorne to the Riverlands to the Vale, to the Victarion and Aeron plots, to Aegon and JonCon, to Lady Stoneheart, and even a ton of stuff in Mereen, plus a lot of other stuff I'm forgetting. GRRM was right when he said that the books had material for ten seasons at least, but D&D wanted to move on to other projects, although I wouldn't word it as friendly. They promised GRRM a proper adaptation, but they essentially lost interest after the Red Wedding. They betrayed him and his fans.

Dude!! I can't wait for the videos you're going to drop on this series. I missed you covering all this lore. It's nice to see someone else who knows the books

@GeoWolf789 Год назад

Welcome home brother its going to be an exclent few weeks, i am greadtful for all of your hard work.

@zippersocks Год назад

I’ve read all the books. You always give the perfect touch ups and recaps.

@UOweMe Год назад

I'm so excited to watch Alt Shift X summaries after each episode! Just like old times

@CraigKostelecky Год назад

Yes! I was hoping you'd do one of these before the series starts. I have read the relevant chapters of Fire and Blood, but your summaries always summarize everything so nicely.

@badwolfpadawan Год назад

Omg so glad you're back!!! Can't wait for your weekly breakdowns!!

@keving2706 Год назад

So much for no spoilers! Thanks for the Laena/Vhagar connection! Yes, it's obviously in the books, but I had forgotten that until you mentioned it! Something to look forward to!

Still not a spoiler.

Thank god he is back, with his amazing voice. I was desperately waiting for this. The show would be incomplete without Alt Shift X.

@liamkampff1 Год назад

As someone who hasn't read the books, and does want to go into this with surprise and lack of knowledge, yet is so fascinated by the history of this world and a bit lore-hungry. I SO appreciate the format of this video! Lots of information around the world of this show, without spoilers or unnecessarily detailed info. Really well balanced video! And I CANNOT wait for more Alt Shift X content on the show! (Also love how many Emma D'Arcy quotes were used in this, they've really aced their discussion of this show in interviews)

@MajorMlgNoob Год назад

The story is extremely tragic (as is Game of Thrones tho tbf) So if they do a great job at characterizing everyone a lot of hearts will break lol

I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed your voice! Thank you ❤

I like how Otto Hightower looks kind of like a combination of Tywin and Ned

@oletramekaf5603 Год назад

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! I'm as hyped to watch the new series as I am to watch the videos here. Thank you, Alt X!!!

This was finally the video where upon tuning in I realized you had long since earned a subscription. Love your content and really enjoyed watching through your whole back-catalogue.

I appreciate how you showed the freeze frames of the new dragons instead of the full scenes! :)

13:52 Small note, Jaehaerys did have an older son than Aemon, Aegon, but he died shortly after birth. So Aemon was actually the 2nd son.

@arisnikou04 Год назад

Jaehaerys also had another child after Aegon and before Aemon, a little girl named Daenerys, but if I recall correctly she sadly died at 6 years of age due to an illness or smth

@@arisnikou04can we address there are too many mf’s with the same damn name? It’s really confusing, especially if you don’t refer to outside material to differentiate people.

@arisnikou04 9 месяцев назад

@@xdaisyfallsx1678 it shouldn't be surprising. We are talking about a 300year history of an entire dynasty, of course the names are getting repeated

Timing is everything. Great post. You don’t know how many hours I spent going through all your previous videos putting together pieces of the Targaryen family tree. it’s all there in all your previous videos, but this is okay too.
