Why Season 3 of Game of Thrones is SO AMAZING 

If the show kept up the quality from the first 4 seasons this would be by far the greatest show of all time

i think people don't realize/appreciate how much the tyrells brought to the quality of the show.

This was Jon at his best. He was cunning, smart and funny at times. It was easy to see he had the potential to be a hero. Then after he was betrayed by the Night watch he took the Dum Dum pills and lost his vocabulary

Best season in my opinion. I love how this season doesn’t have much of a central storyline; it’s just filled with so amazing twists and dialogue and it’s just so rewatchable

I've rewatched GOT recently and loved the early seasons again. It still sad how in the last couple seasons I could see and feel the decline happening all over again. Hopefully the Targaryen prequel does not dissapoint

I didn’t care as much before but I definitely agree with others that they should’ve adapted the reason Robb married Jane Westerling from the book. Looking back on it now, I just can’t see the son of Ned Stark being raised how he was, being dishonourable and breaking his promise just because he met a pretty foreign girl that was empathetic to enemy soldiers.

Catelyn's extreme reaction to the death of her son is exactly what was missing when in s7 & 8 when Dany loses one of her dragons. They where her children.. D&D let so many opportunities for epic scenes slip through their fingers. Also her seeing Viserion the first after he died, now ridden by the nightking, should have been a heart breaking moment for her. I expected somtjing like: her desperately trying to connect or just torn between attacking the shell that was one of her children and comnecting with it.. just so dissaponting how tbey managed to f*ck up so many great characters and storylines in just two seasons.

earlier seasons of game of thrones are so excellent... it feels like a different show. So many interesting characters, plots, twists, great actors, huge consequences to acts etc...

For me Ygritte and Jon's relationship is the best romance I've seen on screen. Chemistry is unbelievable, dialogue is really insightful, in every scene there is lot of tension and you simply know their happiness cannot last long. But everytime they laugh or kiss it's so pure and beautiful.

Best scene for me is the intercut between “chaos is a ladder” and John and Yigrette finishing the climb of the wall.

I loved that you highlighted Daenery's and Jon's storylines. I think S3 was the only season who captured fully the magic of their book counterparts... Jon's inner conlfict about his Targaryen crisis and his love for Daenerys vs raised with the stark values and as sheild against anything that thretens the realm, whether being the White Walkers or Daenerys should be the highest pic of drama for him...

Supercut Delight's opinion about Game of Trones seasons be like: Season 1 - Great Season 2 - Great Season 3 - Amazing Season 4 - Best Season 5 - Mediocre Season 6 - Mixed Season 7 - Bad Season 8 - No word can describe this thing

The fact you use GoT, Star Wars, Skyrim, Witcher 3 and Elden Ring music is a truly underrated aspect of your content!

I remember when I first watched the show I had heard the term "Red Wedding" in reference to it, but never really thought about it again until that episode and the musicians started playing the Rains of Castamere and I was just like "...oh no." My fiancé and I are trying to work the song into our own wedding haha

Season 3 is my second favorite season behind season 4. I loved the characters, acting, twists, and dialogue. Jaime's story this season with Brienne was definitely the highlight for me. Although, I think Theon's torture was a bit dragged out. It solidified Ramsay as a horrifying villain, but it was hard to watch

The first actor for Daario Naharis was my favorite he had great charisma and fit the role perfectly

Thank you so much for taking some time to showcase Cersi as a character. I've had so many arguments with people who can't see beyond the fact that she's an unlikeable person and just say they want her gone. To me she's integral to the Lannister/Kings Landing stories and actually has some sympathetic motivations. Her scenes with Tyrion are my favourites, and Lena is such a fantastic actress. Granted her character is butchered in the last couple of seasons, but that's true of almost every character.

- How many times did you rewatch Game of Thrones? - Yes

Ironically, Loras would have been much better off at the Night's Watch. And the Night's Watch would have been better off with him. And it would have been fire to see him erupt while meeting Stannis.

I remember back in college when HBO announced that they were going to make a show from Martin’s ASOIAF. I quickly jumped at the chance to consume the books and by the end of Thrones, I was absolutely devastated. How could this asshole have Eddard Stark, a POV character, fucking executed for treason? I was hooked immediately. Martin is a brilliant writer and the first 4 seasons demonstrates that handedly

"And Now His Watch is Ended" is such an underrated episode. I'd say it easily sits next to "Rains of Castermere" and "Kissed by Fire" in any series or S3 ranking. Apparently its an unpopular opinion, but i think "Mhysa" is phenomenal too.

Red wedding was like cherry on the cake for the whole season3 One of the best scenes in the whole TV show history 🙏🏻🔥

Its cathartic to watch an essay about when GoT was at its best. The spin off series will come and go, the books might never get finished. But now I’m ready to simply remember when it was a show I couldn’t wait to watch, and talk about with my friends, and let it be.

I've rewatched the first 4 seasons recently and by gods the show was strong then! ❤

Question for all the "Thronies" - If Tyrion was written less like an idiot, and more like a manipulative and hate-filled 'monster' that wanted revenge; purposely bringing 'blood and fire' to Westerios and turning Daeny mad by his own devices ... would people be more pleased with the end result? Do remember he has a soft-spot for broken things. Could also be written so it was his plan all along to get Bran on the throne ... along with the destruction of King's Landing for how he was treated throughout his entire life. I feel this was Martin's original intention. Though Dumb and Dumber, along with executives, decided that Tyrion must remain "Good and Noble" being that he is a fan favorite and we ended up with what we did.

It’s crazy how seasons 1-4 just keep getting better and better in levels that are kind of mind blowing.

That was absolutely fantastic! You analysed and summed up the season perfectly! Thank you 💕

I just watched trough all of your previous season-analysis videos and wondered when you would post the third season, a very pleasant surprise to see that it's here!

Back when season 3 was on, I hadn't yet read the books or seen the show. While visiting a family member with HBO, I happened to catch "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" episode. No idea what was going on, but it was so good. Then there was all the Red Wedding uproar. But I'm still glad I waited and finished the books before watching the show. Edit: I should note that the "Bear" episode was written by GRRM himself. What luck for me!

2:16 really cool how you chose a shot that exemplifies the "angel-on-the-shoulder" that you were talking about with davos and melisandre

What is weird about the “plot armor” of the final seasons is that in a lot of other shows the final season is when you’re most worried about characters because that is when you cross over into the “anyone can die because this story no longer has to sustain itself” zone. But in the battle against the White Walkers, I knew generally who was safe because the show just wasn’t going to do the final Kings Landing battle without X characters around. But with the Red Wedding, the expected outcome Robb at least attempting his revenge one day was subverted … and it solidified that you had no idea what could happen to other people

When people talk about the greatness of this show, how it was the best thing on television, they’re talking about Season 3. The first 4 seasons of this show were incredible. In my opinion, nothing will ever top the peak of this show… ever. The mystery, the hype, the characters arcs, world building, character development… I can go on and on. The entire world was intrigued and invested like I’ve never seen. There was nothing like it before or since. Such a shame how it all ended

Great video, mate- I’ve been looking forward to seeing your review/opinion on the season. For me, any scene with Tywin or Olenna is a standout, and the two of them together is just epic.

Love your videos. Loved this show so much during this era ❤️

Gotta say your background music mix is perfect

This makes me want to rewatch the show, thank you.

Love the music you use.

ASOIAF is possibly one of the best stories ever despite having such a large and sometimes complicated story I started diving into the lore and main story all the way back in the start of 2018 when i was 12 and now i can really call myself a true fan after having the world of ice and fire book and making an ending better that the show and a big story to take place even after that .

When I heard a piece of music from The Witcher - it gave me chills! Thanks for the great video:)

The closing scene of Jon and Igritte atop of the wall..... epic.

I will forever rewatch season 1-4, I’m doing it rn and just watched the red wedding for the 30th time 😫😫 brilliant BRILLIANT season. Maybe the best, I flip flop b/w 1,2,3, and 4 being my favorite. I’d probably say 3-4 is peak GoT book/show story lines

Charles Dance is always a win. Putting him in the same scenes with the other three best actors of this show (Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey and Diana Rigg) was always gonna be explosive and the best dinamycs in the show. The best season of any show ever (only competing with season 4)

Keep it up! Love your videos!

I feel like Jon's justification for joining the wildlings is weaker than in the books In the books, Mance tells Jon about how he was present in the feast for King Robert at winterfell. Jon replies to his question about why he wants to join by saying "Did you see where they put the bastard?' It's a lot better because it ties with Jon's insecurities and resentments instead of the white walker plot

the Skyrim soundtrack w this vid was a genius move. keep it up

Great analysis!

Had this on in the background whilst I was working and my ears perked up when I heard a variation of John Williams' "The Force"/"Binary Sunset" at 01:50 and I had to check what franchise I was learning about...

I would love more video essay format videos in the future

How the show went from realism which made the person watching question whether the main character would even be around next season to just abandoning that concept and giving characters like Arya and Jon immunity to death

I love how in conceding defeat to Tywin Olenna gives the most glowing, genuine compliment you could imagine from her Also that conversation between Cersei and Tyrion is one of the few good things about D&D's changes, book Cersei didn't actually care about her children and couldn't have had a genuine conversation like that Calling BS on the new Jon Snow series BTW

Finally! My personal favorite season. My god I’ll never forget and the weeks dragged on before each new episodes.

More good stuff pal. Keep it coming!

Completely agree-I think that while certain action packed sequences can be entertaining, they have to feel deserved as a culmination of tension and significant events that give meaning and nuance behind the violence. After a while, action scenes can get boring and hard to tell apart unless there’s something else tying it together. One of the reasons the earlier fight scenes in the show are so good is not only because they’re balanced out and bookended by scenes of subtle political intrigue and interesting conversations, but also because of how George R. R. Martin wrote the source material and how brilliantly it was adapted onto the screen. The battle of blackwater bay is one of the best action scenes on tv because it interspersed the violence and chaos of the battle with Cersei and Sanaa’s verbal sparring in the red keep while also giving more humanizing insight to both sides of the battle. We get great scenes of Tyrion taking chatter while Joffrey cowers in his castle and of Sandor dealing with his fear of fire along with Davos having to witness his son die and Stannis having to symbolically watch his dream die. I think this raises the stakes of the fighting and gives more depth behind action packed scenes of fighting. For season 3 in particular, the red wedding’s surprise betrayal, vicious brutality, and importance to the overall plot are only part of what made it so impactful because we also had a season’s worth of buildup to flesh out and further the characters so that we actually care why the red wedding is such a shocking, saddening event. In my opinion, without the clever dialogue and masterful storytelling to setup the red wedding, it wouldn’t be nearly as iconic.

it was during the show's third season that i started watching it, i made it time just three episodes before the red wedding happened and boy it was SUCH AN EXPERIENCE. i read all the books right away while waiting for the fourth season.....that was a great time

It's a little odd going back to season 3, yes but it's just as good as ever. Love your analysis's.

Walk of punishment, and now his watch has ended, kissed by fire, the climb and rains of castamere are some of my favourite got episodes.

Thanks for reminding me what a great job it was by Michelle Fairely aka Lady Stark

Loved the video mate! You should totally do an analysis on The Boys season 3 once it finishes up in a couple weeks. Its a really fun season so far.

Love the use of Skyrim music!

Tywin didn’t come up with putting Loras on the kingsguard to halt the Tyrell house: Aerys did the exact same thing to Tywin with Jaime

its fitting that you play the ost from the regal ancestor spirit

i love how you add witcher 3 music in your videos....

Looking forward to hearing you talk about the jon spin off

love the Star Wars music in this video

I absolutely adore seasons 2-4. Those are my favorites💕

Ahh memories. This season was so good.

This thumbnail is AMAZING

great video

I love this channel.

I think you'll find Tywin "Castigates" his son verbally XD But seriously, this is great! Congrats on making the whole Series, a mighty feat. If your muses urged you to move straight to season 4, then clearly they know better. It allowed you to make your most imperative points while they were inspired, and circle back to seasons 2 and 3 for a more fully rounded perspective. Your Muses would have been distracted if they were preoccupied with what you wanted to say about season 4. Great Job! thanks for this.

Had to double check in the description to make sure I wasn't crazy and that I really did hear Star Wars music XD

I liked all the seasons a lot except for the last 2 episodes of the whole show I was waiting for it to get really bad but it all hit me at once at the end

Unrelated, but thanks for the lovely Skyrim background music

I was hoping you'd finish the quartet of GOOD Game of Thrones seasons. Thank you.

just finished this season for the first time and it was a wild ride. love this fuckin show

Because the Storm of Swords is the best book in the ASOIAF series and the 3rd season is based on the first half of it.

The relationship between Tyrion and Tywin reminds me of Chuck and Jimmy's relationship in Better Call Saul. It is amazing how two wildly different shows that exist in such wildly different worlds can very similar stories.

11:25 wild foreshadowing lol RIP Tommen

Bro i watched this video and when he said "i hope you enjoyed the videk..." i deadass was like.... 20 minutes went byyyy??? It was such a bliss to get immersed into my favorite season of the show and time went by too quickly 😔

Solid!

The Star Wars background music made ma laugh🤣🤣

Definitely the greatest season of television ever made. People say s4 is better but thats when cracks start to appear. This was the height of the show.

The skyrim music fits so well with these game of thrones videos

Crazy how I’m rewatching rn and just finished season 3 def top 2 seasons

I maintain that Season 3 is the best of Game of Thrones. Three of my top five favorite episodes are all here. The political drama is so juicy and honestly Martin at his best. The Lannister siblings dynamic is so unique since they actually have to put aside their differences and bond over their mutual powerlessness against the colossus that is their father. The war was over when he reached King's Landing, and you don't want to believe him when he flat out says the young wolf's days are numbered. It's truly THE season for the Lannisters, but Jon and Dany are excellent here too. But let us not forget the introduction of the best character in the series: The Queen of Thorns.

When you know that S3 and S4 are an adaptation of A Storm of Swords you understand why the book is considered such a masterpiece

@supercutsdelight can you do succession videos? The whole show is basically modern day lannisters

Favorite season! 😭✨

Haha I liked the star wars music in the background

I really didnt expect Elden ring ost in this video.

I still remember going into watching this show quite late (probably around when season 6 was coming out) so I knew Sean Bean was gone quite early. I was still never thought it would be THAT early haha. I just recall me thinking "nah it's not happening literally in season one" oh.... The red wedding is phenomenal. I thought Catelyn wouldn't kill a innocent Frey girl, what would be the point but the acting showed me; she had lost, most of her family are dead and she just explodes with angry and sadness. She's dead anyway, might as well get whatever revenge she can.

Awesome

I really do fall out of my chair when Baelish says chaos is a ladder

Finally, game of thrones content new enough for me who just finished the show to interact with. My comments will be LEGENDARY!

Watching the red wedding as a child was truly traumatizing for me

Even I consider this the height of the show, above season one.

I recently just finished the show for the first time and bro I fell to my knees during Red wedding. I literally had a 5 hour conversation in my head that lasted about 5 minutes on whether I should continue watching the show or not.

He uploaded…. Woah!

Perfect video) Is it remastered soundtrack from Star Wars? sounds amazing

@12:30 - this is a major issue going from about season 5 onwards - they refused to add more to cast and so also refused to kill anyone (for the most part) before Season 8 - Bron for example - they kept him around for soooo much longer than he should have been Edi: then you said it :'D
