The Iron Throne | GAME OF THRONES [8x6] (REACTION) 

Join us tonight at 9pm EST to discuss the ending and all things Game of Thrones! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ixs4Dq8gJjs.html&ab_channel=BRIDGECO

Sensa is queen. Bran is king too. Arya does what she wants. Jon is sent away. Catelyn wrote that ending.

Fun fact. The island of Naath has a disease that is spread by butterflies that only the natives are immune to so the unsullied all died.

Arya: “ I know a killer when I see one” Jon: “oh really what gave it away, was it the thousands of dead bodies or the subtle look in her eyes?” Arya: “uhh… the second one”

Cersei: I want our baby to live Jamie: We're all that matters Red Keep: Brickarys

Deciding Jon's fate at this council: Jon's entire living family, Jon's best friend, Jon's Hand, Jon's sister's bodyguard, Jon's nephew, Jon's uncle.

That ep when Cody was like “Bran is broken!” I laughed so hard 😂😂

Can’t wait for House of the Dragon 🐉 so many dragons 😍🥰

"And who has a better story than bran" literally anyone "Is brienne on the kingsguard now?" As you can see from the fact that she is writing in the white book AND has a seat on the small council, she is the Lord Commander of The Kingsguard

I think the implication of Jon's ending is that he is becoming a King Beyond the Wall.

"I already watched the meeting" 😂😂 that SENT me Cody!

Over 7 seasons jon was built up and became a likeable respected honourable man who would always try to do what was right no matter what that meant for himself to basically a one line side character she's ma queen

Ramsey Bolton said it best. If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

End of an era. Will miss these. Looking forward to the future!

The one I feel for the most is Drogon. He lost his entire family in this war and all he wanted to do was to go back to Valyria. I totally understood why he destroyed the Iron throne. The pursuit of it and its power was at the root of so much loss.

Grey Worm: “Shut up, you are a prisoner for treason. We’re taking you back to your cell, but yeah, take a few minutes to pick who is king”

The reason Sansa being queen of the north is a win is because they'd just talked about how Bran can't father children, so future rulers of the grouping of kingdoms will be chosen (and presumably people will still seek power and uprisings). Sansa might have been ok with being in the seven kingdoms under BRAN, but she's not going to risk the north being under a non-Stark ruler in the distant future after they're both dead -- she wants to keep the Starks in charge of the north indefinitely. And I think the northerners would be grateful for that and love her for de-tangling them from the south.

The best thing about this ending is Tormund getting to spend the rest of his life with "His little crow" lol. In my mind, they are definitely going to be a couple of Kings beyond the wall now. And Bran was like "yo, if I let this million or so people die, I'll be king, cool, I will totally do that". And all this mystery of Jon's heritage? Doesn't even matter in the end. What a joke. Also, It feels so wrong that the Starks in the end are all separated. They were apart for most of the show and their objective was to reunite, but alas, they literally ended up in different ends of the world!! I feel like Arya for sure would prefer to stay by Sansa's side as her protector, but nooo. Their mother would be soo pissed. Also, fun fact from the book, The Isle of Narth has these native poisonous butterflies that kill everyone who isn't native to the island, so Greyworm and his crew are sailing off to their demise lol.

Tyrion: "Who has a better story than Bran the broken." Cody and the rest of civilization: "what?" 😂😂😂😂😂

You guys will enjoy HOTD. Can’t wait to watch your reactions ❤

The difference between Jon and Sam going back to the wall is that for Jon it was because he killed the queen, not because he left. They aren’t holding him accountable for leaving the wall. But you are right unless Yara and other Dany defenders were going to be sure they uphold it, he didn’t have to leave.

"Read-aloud Encyclopaedia" 🤣🤣

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain… poor Dany

You had the same reaction as many fans. Most people were disappointed by the ending. It’s a great show even with the ending.

Bran "I can't be lord of anything" Stark

It sucks that Grey Worm was the only former slave, who’s name we knew, to survive and they made him a war criminal.

Bran who knew the future didn't bother to tell anyone to prevent thousands from dying so he could be King.

Drogon the KING that wasn’t promised but we needed

I think its so tale telling for Dany's transformation to a tyrant, how she for the first time doesn't speak to the people she 'liberated' (as there probably aren't many left anyways) but to the soldiers. She's no longer in their middle, but above them. She makes it very clear. She sees what's right and no one else get to choose.

Poor Drogon. He’s all alone 😢 Also the shot of Dany with Drogons wings is probably the only decent bit this episode.

You misunderstood Jon's ending. There is no nights watch anymore, as you can see when castle black is filled with wildlings.They used that as a excuse to free Jon from the charges of killing Dany. Jon imo had the best ending, hes finally free...he never wanted a crown or leadership. Hes finally free with his people in the true north, as you can see when they leave the wall and ride back north free. And you assume Sansa wanted to be a independent kingdom out of ego and selfish reasons, She wanted the north and its PEOPLE to be free of the tyrants of the south like they were for thousands of years.

Remember when Bran was talking about Jon Snow's parentage? "he is the true heir of the iron throne" LOL Lemme just yoink that chair real quick.

I have been waiting so long to see your reaction to Bran becoming King LOL even the actor who played him thought it was a joke at first 😂

Arya reunited with her family that she missed all the fucking show just to leave after a few weeks 😊

Bran- Knows everything: does nothing Jon- Knows nothing: does everything

Bran's story was so good that he was absent for a whole season 5.

Of course Jon ratted himself out. He probably said it the exact same way He told the wildlings he killed Mance raider. Remember? He was just like “I put an arrow through his heart”. And everybody wanted to kill him. And he still didn’t tell them exactly what happened Tormund had to.

Where were they going????? They were going HOME! Their home is north of the wall.

25:55 it makes me so happy you guys had the exact same reaction to his becoming king that I and everyone I know did. Basically; “What?!?”

I can't wait for you guys to watch HOTD!

Jon didn't want to be King...EVER!

Also, one nice thing with Sansa…she begged her parents to let her go to King’s Landing so she could marry Joffrey and be queen. She had some romanticized, fairy tale version of life that she has learned doesn’t exist. Then, she is married off to Ramsey to get power in The North, only to be raped and tortured. They get Winterfell back and people name her brother king, only for him to forfeit his power to Dany (for good reasons, but still understandably upsetting). In the end, she becomes queen without a man. I was mat about it at first, but rewatching the whole show a couple of times since, I really appreciate that Sansa learned and ended up on top. The ending is definitely bittersweet….rewatching made it click way better than in my first watch, and I now really like the ending. I know not everyone gets to or wants to rewatch shows, but this is one that deserves it, for sure. What you miss in surprises, you gain in deeper understanding of it all.

you all don't understand the three eyed raven....... it's not that when you becomes it you know and see everything but you CAN do it. He was learning how to do it and learn the most important thing but when he asked "am i ready" the answer was "no". So Bran doesn't know many things but with his power and knowing what to look for, he can see and learn but if he has no reason to investigate he may miss important events like the wedding between Raeghar and Lyanna. Once Sam told him about it and when it was, Bran immediately saw them, but without a hint he has no reason to go in the past and watch that place in that day.....

Remember when Jon said goodbye to Tormond, Tormand mentioned it may not be goodbye for good, Jon has too much of the real North in him. He ALWAYS ALWAYS wanted to be a Ranger. He gets to be with Ghost & the people who he seemed to feel most himself with.

7:00 "how'd you get up there?" EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT

Drogon should’ve killed Jon, like this actually crazy to me that he didn’t

Starks had a come up ending the series with three Stark rulers. Jon as king beyond the wall, Bran king of the six kingdoms, and Sansa queen of the north.

Yohn Royce going "I'll ask my horse!" gets me every time.

"and who has a better story.... than Bran the Broken?" (awkward pause) "What?" congrats guys now you're caught up

inb4 drogon took her to valyria to the Blood Magic temple and she revives immune to the doom of valyria and becomes walking pestilence with an army of stone men and dinosaurs from the basilisk isle 🤣

The way bran says -“why do u think I came all this way?” Did he influence circumstances to make him be king?!

Sansa was perfect ending the North should be independent they have always wanted that and she gave it the north back to them good on her in my opinion.

Arya: "Whats west of Westeros?" - Your brother is fucking omniscient!? Also Jon was exiled from the Six Kingdoms. The north isn't included anymore. Sansa could've given her throne to Jon, who was still the King/Warden of the north btw, but she decided to just have her throne...

First, let me say that I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your reaction vids for GOT. You have made me laugh at least a couple of times in every video. I agree with most of your criticisms and assessments of the characters and the show. However, I'm a bit confused when it comes to your views on the Jon and Sansa's endings. Jon could never be King of Westeros because he murdered the would-be queen. The other Lords did not know he was a Targaryan and the "rightful heir"...and I suspect that after what Dany did to that city, they would never want another Targaryan on the throne. In addition, Jon said more times than necessary that he did not want the throne, and considering how he handled being King in the North, I'd say it was just as well that he never got the opportunity. Jon was happiest when he was with the Wildlings, and the fact that he ended up back in the North and back with the free folk gives Jon the happy ending he probably would have wanted...even if the Jon groupies didn't like it. As far as Sansa, I didn't see her as the power-hungry person who wanted to be queen. In fact, there were three other women who fit that description perfectly: Cersei, Margaery, and of course, Dany. And unlike any of them, Sansa was the least self-serving. In fact, everything she did once she escaped from Ramsey was to help her family, Winterfell, and the North. Sansa may have started out as a brat who wanted to be queen, but that ended the minute Joffrey cut off her father's head. Never again did I hear Sansa utter one word about wanting to be a princess or a queen. And in fact, when Jon was invited to Dragonstone to 'bend the knee' to Dany, Sansa did not want him to go. She didn't trust the invite and suggested he send an envoy. And while he was gone, the Lords of the North told Sansa that perhaps they should have chosen her as their leader. She immediately defended Jon and assured them that he was doing his best for the North. In both those instances, Sansa had a golden opportunity to take the title for herself, but she did not. She lead and protected the people, prepared the North for the war ahead, and ultimately (though regrettably) handed the reins to Dany. So I'm not sure where this disdain for her comes from.

Ghost will always be my favourite character from Game Of Thrones 🙏

They still have to honor sending Jon to the wall because of the Iron Islands. Yara felt the same as Grey Worm. They'd rebel if they didn't follow through.

The look on Bridget and Cody's faces once the big reveal for king is made. It's everything. _(Italian finger kisses)_

Everyone is to invested in these characters they cant take a step back and see how john killed the queen, doesnt matter if he was the heir. Greyworm, was hurt yes, but he wanted what would actually happen to people who betrayed and killed a queen. People like john and tyrion, as do i, so dont wont to see them punished but they did deserve it. Bran can see all, now, then and after, nobody would make a better king than a king that can see dangers before it was even a thought. People dont like the end because they dont like what happened to their favorite characters, but in reality john and tyrion should be dead but they are alive because they made bran king

Thank you both for an EXCEPTIONAL job reacting for us all. Enjoyed each episode!

"And who has a better story than Bran the Broken?" ".... what?" My exact reaction when watching this when it aired.

Bran knows there is no Night's Watch and Jon prefers the North anyway. Made GreyWorm happy so he can take a hike.

Stop talking shit about Daeny. She told Tyrion she was going to break the wheel. And now she's gonna do it. Olena Tyrell told her to be the Dragon. And now she is. And as far as the 'innocent' people of Kings Landing? They weren't angels. They despised Joffrey. Then they loved him because of Margery. They loathed and feared Cersei, cheered and taunted her. Rejoiced at her humiliation on her Walk of Shame. Then fell to her knees and kissed her arse when they crowned her. I will not shed a tear for them.

I cannot WAIT for you guys to start the house of the dragon!!!!

I am so sick of people thinking the absolute worst of Sansa. The North declared independence all the way back in season 1 when the made Robb king in the North. The northern people have ALWAYS wanted to be independent, Sansa was looking out for her people’s interests. Also she declared the north independent BEFORE the group decided to send Jon back to the Wall so really Sansa was trying to get the North back FOR JON, so y’all can fuck off with “she only cared about being Queen”. Sorry but that was Daenerys, not Sansa. Sansa is the reason everyone was fed at Winterfell, Sansa is the reason everything stayed together when Jon left for Dragonstone, hell SANSA is the reason they got Winterfell back in the first place. She has proved time and time again that she is a competent and fair ruler and yet people still shit on her for no goddamn reason. She said she wanted to be queen ONE time in the very first episode when she was a little girl and hadn’t even left home yet. But yeah sure, she’s totally power hungry and only ever cared about getting a throne 🙄

Jon literally got the happiest ending. Bran is benevolent and all knowing. Can't think of many better qualities in a ruler.

Bran: Thats right Jon. I allowed thousands to die, and your life to be ruined so i could be King. Enjoy the Wall.

Moral of the story…well behaved dragons(besides the itsy bitsy murders) onto the house of said dragons

Seconds after the last scene, Sansa and Bran be like 'lol they've left. Jon, come back!'.

I looked at the ending as the Starks taking over. Bran is king of the six kingdoms ( him being the three-eyed raven means he will be able to tell if someone is lying to him by seeing things, emotions will not rule him like they did others), Sansa got to be a queen like she always wanted and at the same time brings freedom to her people. Arya is setting out to explore new places and I literally see Jon Snow’s glance back at the wall as the gate closes as confirmation that he’s leading the wildlings to a new home and he will end up as King beyond the wall. He belongs in the REAL north. I know people won’t agree with me and that’s expected. Nobody agrees with everyone. Just my opinion. And rewatching the series multiple times, I’m fine with the ending. Probably one of the few who is.

Sidenote that final scene when Jon is saying by to everyone Sophie turner and Maisie Williams were so inconsolable they couldn’t get through the scene without breaking down into tears

All the kingdoms north of the wall that fell to the night king including all the wildling tribes. They know all those lands and wealth are there for them to take. Yeah they smile as they head north.

When you watch House of the Dragon, you’d realize that if this episode was written correctly, Jon would’ve been burned and maybe eaten by Drogon. Drogon is a dragon, dragons arent loyal to every Targaryen. He wouldve killed Jon for killing his mom.

Jon became king of the Real north

This isn't my first GoT react but I didn't wanna start another but you two grabbed me and pulled me it and had to watch the whole series with yall again

Had the same reaction to Bran's coronation lmao...

Sansa didnt do it just to be Queen as in the monarch with power but as the political representative of her people. She watched the Northpeople make Jon King of the North meaning that they wanted their own ruler, then he left to sell the North out to a foreign ruler, she knew they wanted independence and didnt care anymore about being ruled by someone sitting in the south.

I still love the show. The end is rushed...and some sad, disappointing things happen.... But as a single piece of art, so much greatness.

Idk I think it’s been evident since Sansa was free from Ramsay and back w John that she truly cares about the people in the North..and since then did nothing but consider/follow what was best for them.

I don’t really have an issue with how the series wraps up, save for a few details. One of those I am happy didn’t happen but, no way Jon survives. Grey Worm and both armies brought over would make sure of that.

Sansa wanted independence for the north since joffrey showed her her father's head. She's not in it for herself. She's for the north. 😊

Jon never wanted to be king , he wanted to be a ranger north of the wall like his uncle. There where hints all through the seasons that this was the way it was going to end. Sansa wanted to be a queen and wear pretty clothes, Arya wanted to explore, Bron asked Jamie how would you like to die, he said in the arms of the woman I love.The list goes on to everyone sitting at the table. It's like real life, wars are fought a lot of people die but life goes on.

In this version, its obvious that Bran is the true villain of game of thrones. he played every angle to get it.

It's not only the unsullied that wanted Jon punished, Yara Greyjoy and Im assuming the new ruler of Dorne would still have supported Daenerys. Not to mention having Jon succeed would bring the realm back under Targaryen rule, the house that built the wheel in the first place and Jon had no right to the North, he is not a Stark, imo he never should have been named KotN but thats another story....

WHY would you think Sansa would want to be queen. All she's cared about for two seasons was what would happen to the north. Christ

I think the ending for Sansa and the North made sense. In the books it's clearer from the start that people of the North would want to get their independence back if it would be possible, they make up like half of Westeros ( south of the wall at least). Jon was the happiest with the wildlings and in a way they chose him as a leader and went back to live on the other side of the wall now that there's no threat of White Walkers, which also made sense even though I was mad about it. There are talks about a Jon Snow spin-off series and I think it could be great to see.

Sansa fought for the north, Jon fought for Westeros, Sansa fought to get Jon on the throne which you keep wanting, and you want to hate her because it didn't work out ? Bran, Arya, Jon are alive because Sansa learned her lessons and convinced Jon to fight for Winterfell, Arya went north because her sister and brother got it back, and Sansa removed two enemies to her house, and the north and WRG to LF..Westeros too.

Why are you so insistent for Jon to be king? There are so many reasons why he didn't become one: 1) He COULDN'T be king. He was a prisoner and the first order of business for a king would have been to determine his fate. Suggesting Jon as king would have essentially been taken by GW as a complete insult and the one chance to finally bring peace to the ream and not suffer yet another devastating war would have been over. 2) He is a TARG! You know, the dynasty with countless mad kings and queens, one of whom just committed genocide upon the people of KL. Was there anyone in Westeros clamoring for more of THAT? Even Dany's supposed allies did it more out of hating Cersei than anything else. The Targaryens no longer have any real power base in Westeros. Dany was the last smoldering ember of a dying fire. 3) Jon is NOT a good fit for a ruler! He is not a politician. He will do the right thing at any cost, but sometimes the cost is more than the realm can objectively pay, not to mention it's a great way to immediately gain countless enemies. Part of being a ruler is keeping as many people as possible happy. Was sending Jon to the Wall just? Of course not, but Bran saw that this was an acceptable compromise that could finally end the civil war in Westeros and save countless lives. These are the kind of decisions you sometimes have to make as a ruler and Jon manifestly is not able to do such a thing. Going against his honor to kill Dany was already more than enough for him to swallow. 4) Finally, on a thematical level, is the point of the show that people should do good deeds to get rewarded? Because that is what everyone wanted out of Jon's story! But that is not the point of the story, which is that sometimes doing the right thing comes at immense personal sacrifice. Like I said before countless times, people who were looking for cheap wish fulfillment really came to the wrong show.

Jon is gonna have all that green fertile lands beyond the wall when all the ice melts. With lakes and rivers and direwolves.

Cersei and Jamie could have lived if they were standing just 2 feet to the left.

Yep. I enjoyed your reaction, on many points, and i hold a completely opposite view of the ending from you guys. As expected. But watching GOT with you has been great, every step of the way and I'll probably do a rewatch. Thank you so much! You guys are awesome!

I binge watched the first 4 seasons of your reactions to GOT and have been following along ever since. Glad to have been a part of this journey with you guys. On to HOTD.

Just know that in Naath there are butterflies that kill everyone who's not from there slowly and painfully, so yeah...Greyworm and all the unsullied went over there and probably all died lmao.

I thought y’all were a little harsh to Grey Worm. His love was beheaded and the queen who saved him from being a slave was murdered. Of course he’s gonna be hurt and pissed off.

"I don't care" that's the correct reaction to this ending hahahaha

You might want to check out Spartacus series. One of the best i've seen, even tho the amount of blood in the show is totally unrealistic, it makes up by plot and acting.

If there's one thing they did right was Sansa becoming queen. She suffered her whole life in other people's hands, of course she wants power now. Power is safety.

Tbh I really hated Jon after season 5. They just made him so stupid and meek with absolutely zero drive or ambition. He kept failing upwards. So him not becoming king in the end never bothered me lol.

Top 5 GOT Favorite Moments-- 5- Littlefinger: "Your sister." 4- Renly: "Born amidst salt and smoke! Is he a ham?" 3- Drogo: "A crown for a king." 2- Oberyn: "I will be your champion." 1- Danerys: "A dragon is not a slave."

A few thing. First, comedy: Drogon looked at Jon and said, "You're lucky your my cousin." Then proceeded to melt the Iron Throne into a wheelchair ramp for Bran. Now, the grievances: "Who has a better story than Bran the Broken?" Literally like everyone else at the meeting apart from Edmure! Hell, Tyrion has a better story than Bran! Also, we have to send Jon away because not punishing him would start a war with the Unsullied. The unsullied then proceed to leave esteros for Naath, so why couldn't Jon stay?

Jon is leading the Free Folk back to their homes, and Jon will become the new King Beyond the Wall
