Seriously, even a throwaway line from Ellaria saying she'd sent the youngest four away to keep them safe while she and the sand reptiles overthrew Doran, or how Sarella was in Oldtown...They made Tyene her kid, so it fudged the birth order, but they could always have her be the fourth oldest instead of third, the eldest of Ellaria's five kids

@thewayfarer8849 6 лет назад

The show is proof of how the "strong woman" posturing is bullshit for so many reasons. If you wanted strong women, then adapt the books better. Writing women lazily, aggressively then making them win helps no one. Arianne would have been so good for the show, links to the Highgarden story with Oakheart maybe and could go anywhere.

@__Andrew 6 лет назад

I always loved Doran's line when talking about how no Dornishman have died in the war and that is either his great shame or his great accomplishment. And i saw him as a great Ying to Cersi's Yang. She is all action with no real planning which can cause her schemes to fall apart when others out-plan her. While Doran spends so much time on his elaborate plans that others who *do* act swiftly can screw them up.

That glass candle thing is so cool. When it lit due to the dragons I would have thought that would have been the sort of cool iconic spectacle that would have been perfect for the TV show. Shame they didn't add it in, they could of arranged the story any which way to add it in they didn't have to use Alleras. The best ending for me would be the White Watchers winning and then it was shown that the Night King was Azor Ahai. Which makes zero sense, but i'd love it!

@jazwhoaskedforthis 2 года назад

This would have been cool, to twist the human perception that we are always the default good guys who are the subjects of all the prophecy and destiny. To turn it around and this great hero is actually the unknowable force marching on them from the north?? Idk how that could work, like maybe azor ahai married into the walkers for peace and for some reason is marching them back now? Whatever reason the Others are marching to begin with.

ALSO the Ironborn are amazing in the books, but they got it all fucked up on the show. I'm glad they changed the name of Theon's sister on the show because she is nothing like the character from the books. Asha is probably my second favorite character behind Tyrion in the books, and she is just so boring on the show. The Kingsmoot is joke on the show. Euron just admits to killing his brother? Did the writers not know that kinslaying is one of the worst things you can do in this world. Hell, that's the whole reason Victarian hasn't killed Euron for making him kill his wife in the books. Dorne and the Ironborn is why I love A Feast For Crows so much, and the show just shit the bed with both.

Let´s hope not. Martin is not getting any younger. If I were him I would tell the whole story to a book saga reader whom also is a promising and talented writer able to mimic martin´ss style and lawyer the sh!t out of him in order to keep him quiet as long as Martin lives. That way, if anything bad should happen to him (dear god, let´s hope not), that way we could have the end of the story via this guy. Let´s accept it, there´s a real possibility that we may not read a dream of spring if Martin keeps writing this slow. I know he´s just like that but he should be aware of time, rather than anything else.

The sphinx represents the evolution of man: from animalistic to a higher spiritual form, or so some say, and is also the spiritual guardian of the mysteries of nature.

Alleras is Sarella it’s known among book readers for years & rather easy to detect with her having widows peak like obryn & dark skin of summer isle mother.Only thing I want to know is her true purpose.

@christophermitchell7001 6 лет назад

It isnt so much her purpose that should concern you but rather Marwyn's purpose for being complicit in her studies. It would boggle my mind if the man who has glass candles working and is checking in on people from across the world was fooled by a cross dressing adolescent. He is the big mystery here not her, she is by the way just a mirror of the story about Danny Flint and the night's watch.

@jayashah7477 6 лет назад

Christopher Mitchell yeah ur right she’s similar to dany flint marwyn is definitely interesting it’s said that he trained Miri Maz Dur & now heading to meet Dany.Im more curious about the person that stole the secret key from the pig boy(don’t remember his name)

@christophermitchell7001 6 лет назад

Lord Forestt Correct, Marwyn is said to be a practitioner of the Faith of the Starry Wisdom, like Quiathe, He is said to have traveled to Ashai, and now he has meister Aemon's body traveling to "advise" Danny. He like so many other Rotheschildian characters and families in this story have been in the back ground since book one, and have gone mostly ignored. That is why I believe that he like the Hightowers Royces Daynes Reeds, Dustins and Spicers, among others, are the real players in this story. Once we know who are the other families of the Green Men, the Knights of the Order of the Green Hand, besides Manderly we will be able to make better conclusions as to motivations of these, until now, tertiary characters.

LagiNaLangAko23 Maggy the Frog was married to a Spicer and was Jeyne Westerling's maternal great grandmother. That is what I meant. The fact that a minor family descended from merchants is now a holder of major parcel of land with Lordship conferred in perpetuity is significant of a grander plan having been placed in motion long before the events of our first book. Remember by the end of Dance, the epilogue specifically, Kevin is convinced that the Lannisters my have to pay the Crown debts in secret from their own coffers. This will greatly impoverish them and possibly allow another house, one that now has access to a gold horde untapped in decades, to finance their debts. In other words the Lannisters will be broke and find themselves debtors to other more wealthy Westerland Houses. There seems to be several families working on long game plans in the back ground of our story. Hiding in plain sight. The Royces for instance are everywhere, at the Wall, at Kings Landing both before and after Roberts Rebellion, with Renly in his Rainbow Guard, etc...

Plz do something about Ser Arthur Dayne i hope Dawn will be in s8

@Brandonhayhew 6 лет назад

Highly unlikely dawn will ever make an appearance, it will make an appearance in the book version like Darkstar and Arianna Martell meets young Griff.

@pclordas 6 лет назад

soyon manlai s6e3 we saw dawn and dayne flashback

@Brandonhayhew 6 лет назад

-PCLordas - only in flashback, but never in season finale. There is one difference book dawn can make light appearances but show dawn is like a sword.

Another fantastic video Alt Shift X! I adore your content. I was blown away that the art used in his video was fan contributed, insanely talented they are.

@yikes4946 6 лет назад

A bit random, but I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the CC! (on all of your videos) :)

@s4ge941 6 лет назад

Sarella is not a son or daughter of Lord, cuz obryn isn't a Lord. He's a prince. That makes more sense.

"a dragon killed quentyn" pfft

@donwallacedcruz 6 лет назад

that dragon did kill him, right?

@moostymoosty7857 6 лет назад

every other instance of dragonfire engulfing a living thing has been instant death, so a three day suffer time wouldnt be from a dragon. there is a theory a whip he was holding had oil that caught fire and burned him, and another theory where there is just a basic body switcheroo.

@badgasaurus4211 6 лет назад

Switcheroos and fake out deaths are getting a little tedious at this point. He died and it should stay that way (sorry Quentyn fans).

@DrSmokeTrees 6 лет назад

Or it just wasn't a direct hit.

@joshuahoover6841 6 лет назад

Wait a minute... It's been a minute since I've read the book and I don't have it right in front of me at the moment... But didn't the text read something about Q looking into the mouth of the dragon and then hell opened up? Paraphrasing obviously

This is the reason the book won't be out for another millenia. To many "conspiracy theories" that Martin wants to delve into.
