How Brynden Tully Became the Blackfish (Game of Thrones) 

Yep. Him, Stannis and Selmy.

It was one of those moments when you think "oh I hope they resolve that later and he's still alive" but no. They couldn't even be bothered to film it

Apparently the Director killed him off screen because be didn’t want to make him seem weak by dying to a couple lannisters. By keeping it offscreen we can imagine it for ourselves how he went out. I don’t necessarily agree with it, but they definitely didn’t do it to disrespect him.

@@AesirUnlimited Where did you source that information? If they cared about the characters seeming weak why did they kill off Barristan Selmy the greatest swordsman in Westeros the way that they did. Stabbed in a back alley by some rich guys that were supposed to be miles below Barristan in terms of skill. How would showing the Blackfish fighting off and killing a few Lannister men ganging up on him after he refused to surrender make him seem weak? Please dont defend dumb writing.

@@erikcarrillo7378 I don't want to defend bad writing either & oh so much was a train wreck, but you're talking about the golden company he fought against alongside Greyworm, right? While I agree & it still should have given him a much better way to go, it's a cruel & unjust world (in the books & real life, & atrocities happen to great people/men who deserve better every day, as incredibly special as he was), & by my count after rewatching that fight just once a few months ago, I counted at least 11 attackers he took out by himself before being swarmed, to greyworms 2 to 3 attackers. Should have been handled better, even surviving to contribute further, he still showed his old man skills were still razor sharp in that small space with a much too large sword , where as with dummy & dummy running the show (no pun fully intended), we're lucky he wasn't just hit in a vulnerable spot in the back before he could show some real badass stuff which wouldn't have surprised me with the crap they were doing to the characters & story/writing, so unjust as I agree with, he got to at least show Greyworm how an almost elderly real night, & very arguably one of the best ever if it wasn't for the sword of the morning (untouchable in my eyes with the red viper doing his best to get to the same level & doing very well in achieving that although we know that's just a level I don't think anyone else truly can achieve Arthur Dane like the kids say this is just built differently & not in a mountain kind of way although u knew that's not the built i was talking about). Enough about all that sidetracking, but he did overcome at least 11 or more swarming at once i a shitty alley (unfortunate that there couldn't have more witnesses in the light of an open area where he & greworm would have probably come out victorious, but not everyone gets to ending they deserve in this cruel world, I just typed all that to say he really showed how bad he still is & took out sooo many more than the Worm, surely inspiring The badass in his own right while also saving his young life. Like I agreed it shoulda been better for him with all his achievements & accolades garnering much much fully appreciated respect, it could have been much worse/disrespectful with d&d's writing. Edit: But he's took sooo many of these "certified killers" in a very shitty situation which I fully believe made Greyworm raise his game quite a damn bit as well after seeing the old man in a bad spot still end all of them allowing the Worm to survive. I'm not happy but they (the writers could have done way worse than they did which I know isn't saying much) but he displayed a shit ton of his skills before being swarmed, very unfortunate but he didn't go out like a punk & I'm aware of the insane/impossible feats he'd accomplished throughout his live, like going super stealth to one man rescue the mad king whom were on extremely rocky terms at the moment but a kings guard gonna do what a kings guard does especially when it the Legendary Selmy. Anyways shoulda been better, coulda been worse though. Thoughts?? In not going back to see what autocorrect screwed up so hopefully u can get it with the dumb stuff that autocorrect pulls.

Maester aemon?

Maester Aemon died because of the hard journey on ship to Oldtown ...

@@mohamedsirajeddinemansour still a natural death though is it not? He’s not killed or anything

@@orlyihan361 Well , jon sent him so ...

@@orlyihan361 Kind of depends on how you view it, doesn't it? If Maester Aemon just died of old age and illness on the route to Oldtown, then yeah, he died a natural death. But there's also the idea that the wall, being magical in nature, kept him alive for so long and that is why he died after he left the wall. Then he dies a bit less of a natural death if he died due to being removed from the magic that kept him alive for that long.

Absolutely. They show that he's just a normal bloke, soured by witnessing corruption and horrors, with normal dreams and heroes and fantasies of his own

The conversation with Genna is fucking gold

@PenitentDeadMan308 T Stannis 'The king who still cared' Baratheon too.

Arthur Dayne and beristan selmy would like to have a word

Nah

He was a big reason why Robb was so successful in the war prior to the Red Wedding, he prevented information leaks to opposite side and personally lead the vanguards in multiple battles.

The books are the only canon source of info for these videos.

​@Mad Fuqr It's been exactly a decade (on July 12) since the last book in the series was released, at this stage it's not about his passion it's about adding all the parts together in a way that makes sense, he created a story so full of different plots it's impossible for him to finish it, but he has to

Please, i already lost kentaro miura and berserk, i cant lose this as well!

@@shitjezchrist not even man, he either has writers block, or is focused on the prequel for HBO

I mean, the Horus Heresy Book series has 30 differente writers involved, so a fitting protegé is all thats needed to finish what was started

Hxh fans: first time?

Facts

@Rick Sanchez damn right man

I dream of the day a new book is released and this channel is flooded with fresh material to work from

It would've been terrible during the war of five Kings

Yeah but I reckon he would hate being told he can’t marry just as much as he hates being told he has to.

Man Robert's kingsguard should've been: Barristan, Jaime, Lyn Corbray, Blackfish, Balon Swann, Lyke Grakehall and Gerold Dayne!

@@PedroLucas-mg5je Replace the Mountain with Balon Swann or the Hound and we got a deal

​@@PedroLucas-mg5je how bout Garlan Tyrell?

How the Roose got loose.

IMO: He is more of a "Don't fucking tell me what to do; oh, and if try and pull that shite on me, Imma do the opposite, just out of spite. Seriously, I will. Why? Because F-you, that's why. Did I not state that you cannot tell me what I can or cannot do already?! ".

Antisexual

Remember Brynden is also the name of the three eyed crows.

Yeah thats what... Nicknames are for

Rhaegar will win I guess

@@bharatvkrishnan3532 all it takes is one guy stabbing Arthur Dayne in the back for him to die. You're suggesting that completely surrounding him with enemies means this one guy can turn the tide of the battle?

@@Williamlongsword-l2c yes.

@@Williamlongsword-l2c I said as kingsguard Arthur will protect the crown prince from enemies . Arthur might even slay Robert

@fabRic_jAck hell no. Everyone thinks about Arthur Dayne as if he's the actual mythological King Arthur. He has a nice sharp sword, and could beat a bunch of dudes in SINGLE combat, but he died like a bitch. Putting him in a massive battle doesn't make anyones chances more or less likely.

And Doran too

And Doran too

_Please_ put reading the books on your bucket list

If you like the series and love these videos you will totally see what the fuss is about when you choose to read the books! Live long and prosper, y’all!

I didn’t realize it was necessary to attack Poland, storm France, bomb Britain and declare war on the United States in service of an anti-Semitic regime. The more you know.

@@ImYouriEntertainment rommel didn't decide to go to war , and he was in the military long before the national socialist party and seriously most governments or countries were anti semitic ( Germany was just on another level) and he did limit his military actions and he did enjoy a battle. Like most generals like Patton for example is qoated as saying ( thank God war is so terrible for I do love it so ) . The more you know. .France, Russia even America was anti semitic. The United states government famously refused to accept Jewish refugees from Germany in the late 30s which was a death sentence, and we discovered after the war the president ( roosevelt) knew what Hitler was doing in secret as the British secret intelligence service had informed the white house about.

@@ImYouriEntertainment guy was forced to kill himself due to his disgust towards Nazism. Not all Germans were evil in Ww2.

To be fair, the show really didn’t do many of the characters justice.

Lighten it up then,if you don't know...the actor played a character in a funny as fuck comedy called Still Game,the episode is called Big Yin.Watch it and then imagine the toilets at Riverrun.

His death maybe. But I loved the Blackfish in the show

It would've make sense for me if he was the hooded man!

that was the conidition for the riverlands entering roberts rebellion

The tullys might command as much loyalty from their vassals as the former kings of North and Vale, but the are on the same legal ladder, being lord paramount of 1 of the constituent regions of the Iron Throne. Furthermore, the Riverlands is much more densly populated, and in peace-time is much richer in food, trade, and taxes produced. It’s, like, mmm, saying it’s weird the kings of Sweden accepted a mariage with the Holy Roman Emperor. Sure, the Swedish king is more secure in internal position. But the HRE is much more wealthy and populous Edit: also, during the rebellion, only maybe 5 matches would have been better then with the Tully’s, which won them swath of friendly territory between their own kingdoms and King’s Landing. Namely: Tyrell, Redwyine or Hightower, all of which already declared for the Mad King. Greyjoy’s, but those are really less nice ally then the riverlands, but ships. And the Lannisters, who already heavily disliked the king but their preferred heir was a hostage to the king, so the west as a mariage was out. Really, they could marry the Tully’s, or one on the vassals of the Tully’s, or one of their own vassals. The last would not have gained anything new, the second only a small part of the riverlands, and the last most of it

@@j.a.b.nijenhuis8124 I just thoroughly enjoy the ramblings here haha and I’m hoping you’re a stoned man, sir, when you ripped that response out there. We won’t discuss how the edit is longer than your initial post, nor that the example given to explain seems both random and forced, and lastly 5 other options is not a small amount of alternative options- made like they was one other marriage proposal to be bad…I’m too stoned for this

@Dsp_1167 Ha! Wrong…picked up the the first book back in 1999!!! I hate the Tullys…

Why marry when you can be a badass and study the blade

I doubt. I think Brynden doesn’t like *marriage* and aristocratic weddings (which we see at the Red Wedding), but he probably loves *women* and maybe, like Tyrion, prefers beauty to high birth. Maybe he has a secret wife who is not of noble origin and therefore hides her from the public. Maybe that's why he didn't judge Robb for rejecting Frey-girl.

it could be the case, but he wasn't shown to us to like women (at least sexually/romantically) in any particular occasion. Tyrion, on the other hand, is always seen in brothels and such and he did like the idea of marriage with Tysha, even if his family didn't.

What ever his preference,we all can agree that ‘ The BlackFish ‘ is the ultimate badass!

@@pedromenchik1961 I agree. But the problem is when we talk about a character who doesn’t have a POV chapter, we know relatively few things about his private life. To me, the idea of ​​some form of having love seems more realistic than gay/ace sexuality.

He should've been one of the chief-war advisors of Robb instead of Catelyn!

@Melon crusher Not for me. I don't like Caitlyn at all

I also like edmure

Edmure is shown as an oaf but if you look at his actions he's really a good guy

@@jeannebouwman1970 the show really played the oaf level up for Edmure

Nah, Edmure is a good guy. A bit of a fool but he’s decent.

The tullys were winning that siege. They had enough supplies to last them years. The Freys would never have broken through if it weren’t for cowardly Edmure opening the gates.... Edmure's premature attack on the stone mill allowed the mountain to escape. He was told to wait, but he wanted glory and ruined king robs plan to kill the mountain.

@@biggfish7010 I like how loving you're family is cowardice his pregnant wife was being held captive and threatened and he was in no position to do anything about it.

@@biggfish7010 Edmure was not told to wait to attack he was just told to hold the Riverlands and when he saw the Lannister army rampaging through his land he attacked and drove them off which he wouldn’t have done if Robb just told him the plan was to wait and surround the Lannisters. By getting the Tully men out of the castle he just put several hundred men out into the Riverlands with tracing capable of fighting the Lannisters rather than waiting in a castle for them to eventually starve to death or be killed when the attack happens, them waiting only makes sense if there is relief which there wasn’t. Edit: training not tracing

Yes! He was such an unwarranted dick to Edmure

Yet Edmure had no backbone like Brynden said. He was willing to fight, while Edmure gave up for a bastard child that he was imprisoned from having. If Edmure had any backbone, he would of fought once he got the castle and fought all the way to the freys to get the child and flay the freys.

@@maelofohio6682 And then they would've all died. Secondly Edmure still married Rosalyn Frey making the baby they would have legitimate. Also Brynden didn't have to worry about sucession of the Tully House like Edmure did all he wanted to do was have a last stand they wouldn't have stood a chance against the Frey and Lannister Armies. Then on top of that they would've been forced to fight their own fellow former comrades of the Roverlands anyway exhausting them before they got decimated by said forces. It was a lost cause.

In the books, Blackfish is a lot more empathetic to Edmure even when Edmure misses 3 arrows on Hoster's funeral and then unknowingly disrupts Robb's plan. He even says that missing arrows is not a big deal as even Hoster himself missed on his own father's funeral.

didnt ask g

Thats ideal hut it was very unlikely he could get out unscathed with his tiny army so there was hardly a point but yes it would be fucking great if this did happen

@@xandar1564 true it would all rely on jamie lannister keeping his word to give them sage passage north, it wouldve helped the starks out massively, 500 men would be a big bonus in the battle of the bastards but just Brynden alone would likely inspire more northmen to join as they know he is a capable commander, not to mention his battle knowledge would likely mean that the bolton tactic of surrounding them wouldnt of worked as Brynden wouldve spotted it instantly and ordered an attack to break the line before its complete

It’s a shame he was killed off due to poor writing.

He _so_ was

Probably asexual. Didn’t care for men or women. Just because someone isn’t straight doesn’t mean they’re automatically gay.

@@Garrus1995 u know you can be asexual and Gay or asexual and straight ^^ I think it doesn’t matter because his sexuality doesn’t make his Character

@@filmecke2618 I don’t think it’s possible to be gay and also be asexual. Asexual people literally don’t experience sexual attraction; they’re not attracted to the same sex or the opposite sex. If you’re gay, you do experience sexual attraction, to people that are the same sex as you.
