This plot line in the books, believe it or not, was very controversial. Many thought it was pointless and questioned why GRRM is bringing in a whole new claimant to the throne. When he was cut from Season 5 it was regarded as a good call. I was always one of those that defended Young Griff. And then Season 8 happened, and everybody realised "Oh, I guess Griff is more important to the story then we thought" there was a post in the subreddit basically saying that removing Young Griff is the source for Dany's plotline falling apart. Turns out the incredibly meticulous author has an intent of grave importance for a character that was foreshadowed several books ago lol. To toot my own horn a little, it was a great hit of vindication. Better than heroin.

The show’s biggest mistake was not including young griff. I think that’s why D&D didn’t know what the hell to do with the story after season 6.

Just one thing I thought was unclear. It is said in the books that Bloodraven's intentionally targeted the twin sons of Daemon BlackFire. Because he knew the Daemon would not abandon his children. And that's what happened, after Bloodraven's and his archers had killed his children, Daemon refused to let go of the bodies, which made it easy for Bloodraven's to kill him with his archers. Bloodraven was also the last wielder of the darksister sword. When Brann finds him in the cave, if I'm not mistaken, he also finds the sword. Another thing the series ruined...

@@AltShiftX To be fair, the parallels between Aegon IV, Naerys and Aemon in comparison to Robert, Jamie and Cersei are really STRONG. And at some point, I believe there was even a trial by combat against Naerys, which Aemon obviously won. I've always believed that Daemon was the true heir for a few reasons 1. Aemon's character from what we know literally has no flaws and we know George doesn't write perfect people. 2. The parallels with Jamie, Robert and Cersie is too strong for it to not mean anything. 3. It took 12 years after Aegon died for Daemon to actually rebel and no one was sure the final factor that instigated his rebellion. Maybe he found proof that Daeron was actually not Aeogon's son?

So ultimately House Targaryen's greatest enemy is themselves, because Daemon Blackfyre is technically a Targaryen if he was legitimized by Aegon 4, and Bobby B's grandma was a Targaryen. I think the Targaryens would benefit from some family therapy tbh.

From what you're describing Young Griff is obviously a reference to Henry Tudor who became Henry VII by winning the Wars of the Roses. His mother was distantly related to the King just like how Griff likely comes from the female line. Henry VII became king after living in exile his entire life when he won one battle with the unpopular Richard III just like how Griff is positioned to gain ground in Westeros fairly easily. When Danyaerys burns down Kings Landing I guess it'll almost be like she's interrupting the natural flow of history by killing the person who ultimately won the Wars of the Roses. Which will lead to Brans position as the end of history kind of king.

Damn that picture of Deanerys at 24:00 is pretty awesome. Credits to the person who made that.

I think they should have kept Young Griff in the show. I was very disappointed they didn't. It would have fixed a lot. It would have made Varys betrayal understandable and part of his end game. It would have given Daenerys an actual rival, as Jon didn't even want the Iron Throne. It would have cemented the hatred of Targ rule as once again, they're fighting each other and everyone else suffers. By removing Young Griff, it openned many, many plot holes and Daenerys' turn to the darkside made little sense.

This whole thing kind of reminds me of the war of the roses. Two different lines descended from a king fought over the English throne for thirty years, and it eventually ended when the two lines married into each other and became one. So I think that the Targaryen-Blackfyre conflict could possibly end with a marriage between Griff and Dany. It would lend legitimacy to both of them as monarchs.

This is the Best GOT Summary i ever watched! Thank you!

man i have no words how much i am thankful to you...Thankyou very much for your explanation...

The Blackfyre rebellions are probably my favorite piece of asoiaf history and I am deeply vested in the Blackfyres, so this was really really cool to see you cover this. Thank you!

Bloodraven is honestly one of the coolest characters in the books.

Leaked Bran POV's dialogue of TWOW: Bran: "You're the golden boy! You can kill a brother, lose an eye, fuck your own sister, yet you will always be the golden boy! BloodRaven: "Be careful on what you say! This reputation is not pleasureful as you thinks..."

This is absolutely fantastic. Awesome work!!!

Personally I like the idea that in fact in a cruel twist of fate Dany is the mummers dragon, that her heritage is a lie and she doesn't realise until the last minute. As targeryan dreams usually lead to their downfall as they misrepresent the information to fuel false ambition. The term 'slayer of lies' could also have a double meaning which I've not heard anyone else mention thus far. Yes it could refer to someone who slays a liar. But it could also refer to a liar known to kill, that her slaying is based on lies. It seems to me like that could be a more convincing and shocking twist which would reframe the characters actions up to that point in a very fascinating way.

The books aren’t ever going to end.😭

Martin does not care about fans or the books. He only cares about his legacy and career, the money and shows and movie deals it’s all good to him. It’s like a kid in a candy store and it has all the goods.

yeah like mike said i feel like it could go on for a long time since he already has the history up to dance already written with so much untapped potential for new stories
