“I trust the eyes of an honest man more than I trust what everyone knows” is a Tyrion line from A Clash of Kings that they didn’t use in Season 2, but transplanted forwards. They do the same thing with Tyrion’s story about asking his uncle for a pet dragon; he tells it to Jon Snow in A Game of Thrones, but D&D repurpose the dialogue in Season 6 of the show.
I know my most hated one, but not word by word. It was when Lysa Arryn told Littlefinger on how they plotted the murder of his husband :D It was on the nose
Tywin: Aren’t most girls more concerned with the pretty maidens from the songs? Arya: Most girls are idiots. D&D stating that Arya is “not like the other girls” in the most obnoxious way possible.
@@OneFiction666 yep, i hate how they made arya and brienne seemingly hate women in the show ! figures that the stuff that dnd added would be the worst lines of the earlier seasons
Even though it was a comedic line, Ollenna’s line drop of “He Really Was A C**t Wasn’t He?” in response to finding out that Joffrey’s sword was named “Widow’s Wail”was one of the few lines of comedy that actually was genuinely funny Post Season 6, as we loved to hear an insult on Joffrey at least 1 last time. That’s an Honourable mention but I understand why it would have been excluded from here.
My favorite line was between Jon Snow and Beric Dondarrion about death being the ultimate enemy that always wins. "This enemy always wins and we still have to fight him every day" or something simular. The conversation in total has been one of the best dialogues of the later seasons.
i really liked Tyrion's response when Jon asked if what they did (betraying Dany) was right: "ask me again in 10 years". nothing fancy, but it put things into perspective for me. Also when Varys said "then its not a secret anymore, its information" about 8 people knowing about Jon's parentage. "I fought for you, didn't i?" by the Hound touched me emotionally mainly because of the delivery.
Not a big Sansa fan but she made an excellent point to Jon here: "You have to be smarter than Father. You need to be smarter than Robb. I loved them, I miss them, but they made stupid mistakes, and they both lost their heads for it."
Ah yes, the “smart” Sansa who openly antagonized Daenerys (who had 2 nuclear weapons) in her home. The only thing preventing her from losing her heads like Ned and Robb is the plot armor. Also, that shouldn’t be something she said about her dad and brother. She should have said something like “You have to be careful, Jon. Our father and Robb trusted the wrong people and both of them lost their heads for it”. The whole “stupid mistakes” is like a meta-commentary from D&D to tell the audience how smart Sansa is and how much she looks down on her family for being dumb. Even Tyrion is not this disrespectful to his father, and literally killed his father because he hates him so much.
@@nont18411 Daenerys didn't have the power to kill the Lady of Winterfell... It's still Westeros. Some people would have died for Sansa; others would have poisoned Dany or something else but she couldn't have walked away especially that Dany didn't trust Tyrion who is a friend of Sansa; Jon Dany's lover is her brother and Arya, a dangerous assassin who is her sister 🤣
Ned certainly wasn't stupid. He put honour above anything else - which is well, honourable. Robb wasn't stupid nor honourable. He lost due to lack of honour and Catelyn's weakness.
@@robr7815actually that’s because changes from the books made it so. And besides, in the show Catlyn made the promise, Robb didn’t. But more to the point, in the books, the reason he married someone else was honour. He accidentally got her pregnant while injured and grieving and kind of out of his head, and married her not to dishonour her and have his son be a bastard.
My favourite lines were, "I dont want it" and "You are my queen." Probably my personal No 1 is in the same scene as yours. "Tell Cersi...I want her to know it was me." Olenna Tyrell is the GOAT!
Hey Supercuts I was very surprised you didn’t add Littlefinger’s line about everybody being your enemy/friend that he told Sansa. What was your reason to not include it, just curious. Keep up the great work.
It was close to making it in and I guess I'd consider it an honorable mention. But to me, the line wasn't really remarkable. It feels lazily written for the caliber of writing that Littlefinger normally received.
I was surprised that Davos’s line « If he commands you to burn children, your Lord is Evil » was not in the Top 20. A very simple and down to earth line, but powerful enough to shut Melisandre’s mouth, and show how fanatics can commit horrible things in the name of God(s), without even realizing the awfulness of their actions. And then I saw that this line comes from Season 6 episode 10.
I liked Tyrion telling Jaime: "You knew what she was and loved her still" when they were talking about Cersei. One of the few lines where I thought there is acually some truth in it.
This is the first time that I comment here :o I hope that your views can recover from the past weeks, and I am always looking forward to your GoT content!
All these years and you keep fueling my undying love for GoT and Asoif as well as eternal sadness with this pathetic ending Thank you, SD, you are the best! P.S. "Make do" lipsinking Tyrion was too perfect lol
You missed the best part of season 8, namely the dialogue between Jon and Daenerys about ruling an bringing about a better world, during which she says other people don't get to choose, it was a brilliant dialogued conversatie that one its own without the deeper rushed retarded context around it is, actually pretty brilliant.
Unpopular opinion. "The lords of the seven kingdoms are sheeps" is absolutely not a line that Lady Olenna would say. She is literally THE most clever woman in Wester for a reason: never underestimate your enemies. Making her say it after you made a mistake and understerimated the "creativity" one of them (Cersei) is stupid. Besides it wasn't even a good advise. Lady Olenna might disagree with the whole "I'm here to free you" campaign, but she should understand that Daenerys needs to use more diplomacy and less threats. By telling her to consider people as sheeps that she can frighten as much as she wants, Olenna is basically making sure that the most important people in Westeros will dislike or even hate her queen.
Lady Oleanna very much DID underestimate her enemies when she poisoned Joffrey and unleashed a chain of events that would lead to the complete ruin of her house. The biggest mistake people make about the earlier seasons is interpreting the things that are happening, especially the more fan servicy ones like Tyrion verbally smacking down people, as positives.
Line No. 20 is way more impactful than almost the 19-11 choices tbh Bec its an existential realization. The elderly ARE kept at a distance. Both by the youth and themselves (kids leaving the nest, new gens taking the lead, leaving elders in care homes or away from leadership or employment) but it also speaks to the age of self-ownership that GoT S8 clumsily communicates but should have made as a core theme or context to connect the season and show even more with our current age, etc) And of course for Varys, he is speaking for his (and extension the Advisor Trio's) growing irrelevance. Had Season 8 been sharply written, the theme of age would have made the Ice arc of the season one of the best of post-GRRM writing but then again this is just from a guy WHO WATCHED Season 8, as in the future and not in the writing room when it was being conceived.
Tyrion said something like that "i trust the words of an honest man more than i trust what everybody knows" in season 2. "Mormont never lies," he said after reading a letter about mormont being attacked by wights. Same context ish. That might be what you're thinking of.
I really liked a Jons line when everyone confronted him that he didn't lie to Cersei about serving Dany. It goes like: But when enough people make false promises. Words stop meaning anything. Then there are no more answers, only better and better lies.
14) Regarding, "Duty is the death of love" and "Love is the death of duty", i think (now that i come to think of it) it embodies a conceptual/philosofical conflict. You can change the words "Love" and "Duty" for some other words like "Passion/Freedom/Will of the Individual" and "Racionality/Tradition/Will of the group", and that feels like the core to so many stories... (Coco; How to train your dragon; Titanic; The Irishman; Revolutionary Road; Network; The social network; Sorry to bother you, etc, etc) It can sound cheesy, but if you get into it, it can be very elemental and deep. 13) "She's always been good at using the truth to tell lies", reminds of the X-Files: "A lie, Mr. Mulder, is most convincingly hidden between two truths".
Within 5 minutes of this video I clicked onto another Supercuts Delight video because I felt this wasn't really going anywhere, hard to salvage a lot of these lines
Does every piece of dialogue have to include a literary device, though? People don't actually talk like that, when you start adding any literary device you can to every line of dialogue it becomes unnatural. Literary devices in dialogue should be saved for the special, hard-hitting lines.
Who told you people don't use literally devices in conversation? Anytime you compare 2 relationships between another 2 objects is a metaphor, everyone with an IQ above 6 uses metaphors fairly frequently
I would have chosen Tyrion's last words to Jaime for one of the spots. That line reminds me of what he says about Jaime in his first chapter of the books.
Welcome back man. Had to unsubsribe for a bit cuz of the constant stream of notifications from the hacker but I've resubscribed and can't wait for more of your content again.
I think there generally good dialogue scenes overall in Season 7. Tyrion and Cersei in the finale, Jamie and Olenna in episode 3, I also really like the scene where Daenerys interrogates Varys in episode 2. It’s harder to find generally good dialogue scenes in season 8
I like a Tyrion one from season 8 when the council convenes after Jon kills Dany: "No one is very happy, which means it's a good compromise, I suppose." The phrasing may not be anything special, but the ideia it conveys is great.
4:30 I find Lyanna Mormont cringy. Strong young woman for the sake of just having a strong female character. We're talking a show where subtle and delicate women pull most of strings and are strongest at their most feminine.
It’s crazy how the show of Game of Thrones went through 1-4 building and getting better and better each season and then seasons 5-8 got worse and worse 😭😭 Flipped how it’s supposed to be
I love how nobody ever counters Lyanna Mormont with "yeah women can fight but you're like 10" like maybe we shouldn't have literal children fighting??? Because they'll die????
Just out of curiosity, what do you think of the line where Tyrion tells Jaime, “you were the only one who didn’t treat me like a monster” I dunno, maybe I’m dumb and don’t see that it’s bad. But I thought it was decent.
