Jojen Paste: does Bran eat Jojen? 

Lmfao. My ass is gone now. Give it back.

He was just helping jojen make something of himself.

In the words of Hannibal, "It's nice to have a friend for dinner".

Wait?! Bran eats jojen? I missed that part

+King Mckay No.... no he can't

Patrick Snow :D

He can't have one happy character Tbh

Highly underrated comment

I was totally thinking that!

Not just sex and nudity, but also rape. Like constantly

I mean they did have Arya serve Lord Frey his own son in a pie.

@@swagdawgswagson4727 Yeah but they weren't kids. Or at least they didm't LOOK like kids.

@@homestuck_official I think they did it because letting bran eat Jojen in a visual medium isn't subtle at all.

same

Everytime bud

Lol is it really? I was thinking he ate jojen first time around. Strong implication especially because they were already eating people in he North

100% accurate. These videos are awesome!!

I'm impressed and apalled

Bran ate Ser Pounce too.

You tryna fucking tell me Ser Pounce isn't the Prince who was promised?!

Too bad it's wrong. Jojen is alive in the book and Game of Thrones was fucking kamikazed.

@@wisemankugelmemicus1701 how do you know?

@@wisemankugelmemicus1701 You do know that you can bleed someone without killing them right?

except that there is not evidence of him becoming "paste" also human paste would not be "white". as for the whole jojen is now afraid you have to understand the whole point leading up to this jojen knows he will succeed in bring bran to the crow he knows its going to work you cannot be afraid of failing when you already know the outcome. he becomes scared because he has now completed the task and his future is not known any more.

@@aikidodude05 Obviously the paste has other stuff mixed into it that made it white. It’s not just blood. If it was, Bran would know right away.

@@HarshDude126 do you understand how hard it is to turn red into white? its not blood and the theroy hinging on that jojen gets scared at the end even though thought the whole theory it relies on jojen knowing the future it does not make sense. he fear only make sense in the concept of he doesn't know what to do now that his vision has been completed. heck it even is said that jojen would not fight to save himself because of vision because he believes in fate. this fundamentally shoots why he is afraid in the foot. something though that can scare the hell out of person that has visions and lived by what his visions say is going past a point were he had no visions. IE the point when they no longer know what is going to happen. the point were they have to now choose what to do instead of march to the script.

You're dumb and what you wrote is intelligible. There is nowhere to go if he's gone then he's DEAD and at least his BLOOD is used as a catalyst for magic as all magic has a price, it's NEVER cheap. How else is he going to survive the winter anyway? He has to eat everybody there for even a chance unless he melds with the tree. Forget about the TV show that shit isn't Canon. Winter is years long he's in the middle of fucking nowhere him and anyone he's with are fucked. Jojen couldn't "go home" they barely made it there it's impossible to make it even partway back alone. Don't be dumb

+CadaverJunky8 but where would Bran go if he did get upset? He nearly died getting there and Jojen is (probably) gone, I don't see that he has many options either way :(

Hayley Fletcher He could just refuse to go along with what Bloodraven wants. Starve himself or something. This theory's kinda 50/50.

+CadaverJunky8 Alt Shift X did say that there is no strong evidence to support this theory, but as you say, there's no evidence against it. The video made a good point of showing that it's plausible, but not proven. So yeah, we should all treat the theory as a 50/50 thing.

+CadaverJunky8 " Bloodraven wouldn't risk upsetting Bran this early on into their training" Bloodraven, as far as I can tell, would risk anything if it's necessary for his plan (consider what he's already put Bran through). Therein lies the crucial issue: if it's not necessary, then he most likely wouldn't. If it is necessary, then he will do it in a heartbeat.

+CadaverJunky8 Interesting insight but still doesn't explain why Jojen is getting/used to get depressed day after day and is nowhere to be found since Bran ate the thing.

+Dylan Palmer He was a pretty creepy dude even before he merged with the tree so I wouldn't be surprised either.

Blood raven killed his own uncle "to save the relm" when he was hand of the king a hundred years before game of thrones begins.. He's a one eyed basturd of a Targaryean king who used blood magic to warg into people and manipulate politics in kings landing when he was hand to the king.. When he killed his own uncle he was sent to the black cells under the red keep for over two decades to idle away in the dark to do God knows what by himself and when his sentence was up he was sent to the wall where he became Lord commander in a short period of time .. How does a guy who was in jail become Lord commander of the nights watch?.. Well it's Cuz he can warg into people and skin change and manipulate everything and anything.. Then one day he decided to go north to find the weir wood Internet tree that he lives in now to soy on everyone in Westeros and live and grow his greensear powers even more..

+Moejii Osman *realm ;)

+Moejii Osman I'm not sure if that's a joke, but it's quite different from the story I remember: - I don't remember Bloodraven killing his uncle. I don't remember who his maternal uncles are, but the only paternal uncle I can remember is Prince Aemon the Dragonknight, and he wasn't killed by Bloodraven, as far as I know. He apparently killed his brother Daemon Blackfyre and his nephews, the twin sons of Daemon, during the 1st Blackfyre Rebellion. - I don't remember him using blood magic. People said a lot of things, but I don't remember it being a plausible thing. He probably was a skinchanger and probably knew how to use a glamour, but that doesn't mean he used blood magic. - He was sent to the black cells because he killed Daemon Blackfyre's son Aenys after telling him on behalf of the Iron Throne that he wouldn't be harmed. - He didn't spend two decades in the black cells. Aegon V had him imprisoned and then sent him to the Wall with Maester Aemon. It was not two decades. And his sentence wasn't up. Aegon simply sent him with his brother Aemon because he was a prisoner and prisoners sometimes are sent to the Wall, because their sentences are not up. I might be wrong though.

+Dylan Palmer His name is BLOOD Raven after all xD

and yet these still could all be bad things. Good for survival, yes, but potentially bad for humanity, if you believe (and there is strong evidence for this) that the three-eyed-raven is the Great Other, the darkness, that wants to destroy humanity. That uses human ability (like individuality, greenseeing, warging, violence, etc) to get humans to make misguided decisions through visions and peers, that could lead to humanity's self destruction. So in people's darkest moments, what seems to be a "what doesnt kill you makes you stronger" is really a "what doesnt kill you makes you a pawn in our game to help us kill you all"

Arya is having 'wolf dreams' long before she is blinded. But yes, it's at that point she learns to direct it through the stray cat to 'spy' on the kindly man when he beats her. Before that she was doing things by instinct more than design.

@@blub3rry116 Gurm has repeatedly said that his novel won't have a dark lord that likes to wipe out an entire race.

Sure, but Jojen paste sounds more interesting

@@arhamsaa Sure, but "dark lord" is vague. The Others certainly want to wipe out humanity, or at least mean to do harm to humanity. If the Children are behind the creation of the Others, and the Children are the "Old Gods" as in souls within the Weirwoods, and the Three Eyed Crow is tied to the Weirwoods... it's entirely possible the Three Eyed Crow could be on the side of the Others against humanity. Is the pawn of the souls of ancient wood elves that is working with ice elves to destroy humanity a "dark lord"? Maybe.

Add to that that in ADWD’s prologue, Varamyr mentions that warging into humans is considered a giant taboo. I’m sure that that isn’t just coincidence that the same book wherein Varamyr mentions that, Bran thinks about the same topic.

@@lordodysseus i agree my friend. but in my opinion bloodraven is someone very bad. i dont think that bran will live through the long night.

Cheers mate! Thanks for watching

it makes more sense that the tree-people/raven are the bad guys for humanity, given the war they have with humans. The whole "let's defeat our common enemy, the whitewalkers" thing makes little sense, given that whitewalkers were SUPPOSED to end humanity and just failed. The reason i think tree-kids want the white walkers dead is because they cannot control the whitewalkers, and even if the whitewalkers killed humanity for them, the walkers would be too strong to be defeated by them (why defeat them? to have all the forests in westeros to themselves), so the better solution would seem to be to let the humans kill 'em all, then manipulate the humans into killing themselves through visions, crows, and manipulating circumstances (like getting an evil leader to kill people and/or lead people into ruin). in my opinion relating this back to religion, since religion plays a huge part in the world, my theory is a common one, which is that there is/are no true god/gods, and that anyone with any abilities that seem otherworldly are just good at magic, or gifted enough to use it. It makes it likely that the red priestesses visions in the flames that tell them about a chosen one and a Great Other who rules the darkness could be referring to someone like jon snow, a potentially just ruler who could defeat the TRUE darkness, and the three-eyed-raven who is a manipulating cult-serving skele-corpse-tree who loves darkness oh so much, would be the Great Other who serves the darkness, an anti-human tree loving asshole. And the reason this makes sense in religious context is that it doesnt matter if any other gods like the many-faced god, the god of death, the drowned god, the god of tits and wine, the seven, the old gods, etc seem to answer prayers or deliver magical results. It's all just magic, unconnecting to any god. And if that's true, that there is only magic and no gods, no ones visions or prophesies or spells or anything could be discounted by an argument like "yeah but didnt you see how legit the many-faced god seems to be? that must be the true god, making all of this tree conspiracy prophecy nonsense somewhat bullshit"

The direwolves were almost certainly sent by Bloodraven. It's no coincidence that Ghost resembles the weirwood trees, nor that GRRM draws the readers attention to the fact. In a way, Melisandre does too; her skin is described as pale and her eyes red.

The lord of light may as well be the lord of darkness the way Melisandre talks about him

Du bist doch Deutsche!

Jesus Christ you're everywhere!

Cheers mate (:

I got creeped out two.

Yeah i creeped out as well... I suddenly felt the need to make some light in the darkening evening and i realized how gapingly my door was presenting the darkness that lurked behind. I had to pause to come to my senses, but that did little to reduce the unsettling feelings.

Given how the show ends it seems pretty meaningless. He made that arduous journey, got Hodor and Jojen killed, all in order to train up as.... bait?!

Deyw _C Yeah, which begs the question, why would he want to assume Pate's identity? Does he want to get to the Wall for some reason by assuming Sam's identity? A lot of questions and one man to answer them: Alt Shift X.

Cheers mate!

Yes, they changed him.

7 episodes in and I only just realised..

Yeah

yeppers... the original guy, I say with all due respect, but I don't think was an actor of any particular note, whereas for the true meat of the story (no pun intended, given this vid's subject ;) they got the living legend that is Max Von Sydow. But they also changed the actress for Leaf, for that matter. The leader of the Children of the Forest. (well I don't know technically if she's the leader, but the main one who did most of the interacting with Bran & Co.)

Yeah there was a reason his story was left out for a season. All of the changes(I think for the better) aren't as noticeable / are more acceptable by the audience.

Nicholas Layton it's not automatic, it's a theory that's plausible as mentioned in this video. besides the texts days something along the lines of the paste having veins that resemble blood and Brandon thinking that it's probably weirwood sap but he himself isn't fully convinced.

+Jon Snow Hey Jon, how's Ygri... Oh right... Sorry...

+Unknown That's unfair man he just got shanked by his crew

Lol

+Christopher Lennon They are bad in the sense of being enemies to mankind.

+salmon inlake If you were looking at it from their perspective, you would realise they are doing nothing but saving their homes, think about it, maybe Bloodraven has come to understand the Children of the Forest and is plotting something to help them, not to just "destroy humanity because why not"

+salmon inlake No matter the motives, Bloodraven gave a boy dream so he would befriend someone over a roadtrip so he would eat him...

+salmon inlake Bloodraven had a reputation before he went north of the wall of being someone who always tried to do the right thing, even though most people were scared shitless of him. His first appearance to Bran was also about how he needed to save the Seven Kingdoms from something scary in the far North (can't imagine what) and a mountain oozing black blood with something very scary behind its visor. I think that neither the magic of the old gods nor Melisandre's fire magic is inherently good or evil; that fits GRRM's overall themes of morality not being cut and dry. The "good side" of magic/the force and the "dark side" seems like another version of the noble heroes teaming up to defeat the Dark Lord; the kind of story GRRM says he _didn't_ want to tell.

Navy Seel Why would GRRM go to the trouble of establishing that reputation if not to provide an understanding of Bloodraven's motivations?
