    well this is mostly from the books, the show cuts like 70-80% of it. so even if we remove the fan theory from this video and leave only the facts from the books, it's still way better what what it ended to be in the show. what we expected from him at the start was some real magical shit, something that can manipulate the world probably. seeing everything and maybe whispering and guiding the people to victory. instead we received the world's archives. i mean we technically have this in the library in Oldtown.. and a glorified spy.

    Alt mentions that Bloodraven might've warged the boar that killed King Robert. If you'll recall, Robert killed it with a knife through the eye, and called it a bastard. Making it a one-eyed bastard like Bloodraven. He even jokes that a god sent the boar. "Drove a knife right through his eye" "I killed the bastard, didn't I?" "the gods sent the boar... sent to punish me,." Also in a Clash of Kings Stannis says, "If someone said I had magicked myself into a boar to kill Robert, likely they would believe that as well." -

    That has been along the lines of what I was thinking. I didn't know as much about Bloodraven, but just about the 3ER/3EC being an extension of the Children of the Forest - so I had thought they were manipulating events through Bran. But now that I know all of this back story, it's even more compelling that Bloodraven is manipulating. But for good or for ill? I guess in GOT it's never cut and dry. Fascinating. Just makes me want to read all of the book all the more.

    You could probably account for Brandon's crippleness to the Bloodraven as well. He was chasing a bird when he went by that window.. and seeing how Euron turned, Bloodraven must have thought it safer to have the boy be crippled before the dream, so he doesn't get adventurous.

    That's a great theory. Actually, the age of the three-eyed raven is completely irrelevant if he's capable of time travel and influencing events from the past. He could've been stuck in that tree for 1 year or a 100 years, doesn't change a thing. He's truly horrifying. The show got everything so wrong. I wonder if GRRM regrets doing the show. It kinda destroyed his legacy and created a huge negative perception of ASOIF.

    I believe the story with the Night’s King revolves around his brother killing him actually, it’s a story Old Nan tells Bran about how the Night’s King could have been a Stark and was killed by his brother the Stark King she implies that the Night’s King’s name could have even been Bran. The records of the Night’s King were destroyed so that adds credence to the story.

So, his plan for Bran and John is actually a desperate attempt, guided by guilt, to stop the apocalipse he started.

    It’s a lot more complicated than that. Einstein had a brain volume that was slightly lower than average. The male brain mass volume deteriorates after age 40, where as a on average the female brain shows little deterioration until much later in life. Women are also or more likely to be better multitaskers, which makes some evolutionary sense in that women had to take care of a multitude of things from, raising the kids, gathering certain types of food, cooking, cleaning, making clothes, doing repairs, dealing with tribal politics, and healing/medical concerns. Where as most of the men normally just needed to worry about hunting, village defense, and their masculinity. You could use the Encephalization Quotient. Brain volume v. Body mass. But that shows that women have about the same, if not slightly higher than average, EQ when compared to men. It also shows that dolphins and some whales have a larger comparative EQ to humans. At best, the brain volume issue might be a general predictor of an individual’s intelligence potential within there own species, if you use the EQ method and factor in a whole lot of other variables. At worse, it’s been a tool used to justify racial and gender superiority. In the end, it really comes down to brain capacity, complexity and density within certain regions of the brain v. age, genetic, education, experience and environmental factors of any given individual as to that individual’s intellectual potential or aptitude towards certain skill sets and reasoning, as opposed to that of their actual overall intelligence only being based on that individual’s brain volume, regardless of gender or ethnicity. So no, a woman’s brain volume on average is near irrelevant as to the way that you’re using it. And no, sorry but, “wamon ain’t stoopid”. Well, maybe just maybe, women are more complicated than men and some of us men can’t handle that. In which case it might be time for society to rethink the patriarchal system, because too many of us men seem to be either regressing or stagnating rather than evolving.

    They often portray thin characters as archers. In reality though size and strength are most important with the bow. Power depends on how hard you can pull back and greater size means greater draw length and therefore higher arrow speed. A faster heavier arrow not only has more power but also greater accuracy. English longbowmen were usually the tallest and most muscular people in the kingdom.

The number of blood vessels is important for endurance and skill plays a big role. But with archery it's raw strength that's the most important. Also if the choice is between a long lanky person and a short strong one the short and strong one is better. Since a shorter bow can be drawn faster. That and also for archers speed and agility doesn't matter since they are not supposed to directly face their opponent. With melee soldiers agility matters a lot for sneaking in blows, deflecting them and moving around the battlefield.

    Pierre Cano azor ahai isnt a focus of the show that much, just something mellisandre seems obsessed with. Maybe you think it is because the community keeps trying to guess about it so much, but in the shows its such a background thing not so much a huge reveal sort of thing. I dont think we even heard the full prophecy on the show at all. The books & the show are two different stories now because grrm didn’t finish in time. Dont think of it as your story ruined, you’ll still get it in the books. As for the tv story, i love that they made it Arya, it was visually pretty badass, and honestly I don’t think its fair to think Arya trained with assassins and on her own and went through that huge journey just for her big thing to be to kill an old man with his guard down (show version obvs)

    [SPOILERS] 8:15 also in Samwell III, ASOS at the end of the chapter there is a raven that helps Sam and Gilly to escape from a group of wights, here an excerpt: He crept to the door. The air was so cold that it hurt to breathe, but such a fine sweet hurt. He ducked from the longhall. "Gilly?" he called. "Gilly, I killed it. Gil-" She stood with her back against the weirwood, the boy in her arms. The wights were all around her. There were a dozen of them, a score, more . . . some had been wildlings once, and still wore skins and hides . . . bot more had been his brothers. Sam saw Lark the Sisterman, Softfoot, Ryles. The wen on Chett's neck was black, his boils covered with a thin film ice. And that one looked like Hake, though it was hard to know for certain with half his head missing. They had torn the poor garron apart, and were pulling out her entrails with dripping red hands. Pale steam rose from her belly. Same made a whimpery sound. "It's not fair . . ." _"Fair."_ The raven landed on his shoulder. _"Fair, far, fear."_ It flapped its wings, and screamed along with Gilly. The wights were almost on her. He heard the dark red leaves of the weirwood rustling, whispering to one another in a tongue he did not know. The starlight itself seemed to stir, and all around them the trees groaned and cracked. Sam Tarly turned the colour of curdled milk, and his eyes went wide as plates. _Ravens!_ They were in the weirwood, hundreds of them, thousands, perched on the bone-white branches, peering between the leaves. He saw their beaks open as they screamed, saw them spread their black wings. Shrieking, flapping, they descended on the wights in angry clouds. They swarmed round Chett's face and pecked at his blñue eyes, they covered the Sisterman like flies, they plucked gobbets from inside Hake's shattered head. There were so many that when Sam looked up, he could not see the moon. _"Go,"_ said the bird on his shoulder. _"Go, go, go."_

    No no, he wants them to fight to create Azor Ahai. I almost think it was a bet between the 3 eyed raven and his lover/sister. That is why they are each on one continent and their actions are separate and almost conflict with each other. A Song of Ice and Fire, Ice being Jon Snow and Fire being Daneyrs. Neither is evil or good, they are only the ingredients to create Azor Ahai. However in the tv series they made Daneyrs go full bad guy, and shat the bed with the NK (which should have spread more throughout Westeros, and required greater combinations of forces + Euron Greyjoys collection of magic to actually defeat.) Imagine having to forcefully work with Euron to kill the NK after losing half of Westeros. It would have been much more epic. The tv series seems to be going "we are going classic, hero saves the day", and "other hero turn anti-hero that the real hero needs to stop" as the twist. I hope there is some mention in the final episode of Jon Snow being Azor Ahai. This is my theory.

    Just watched the last episode, and could not stop thinking watching this video like months ago. Your analysis is so well thought that it feels like Bloodraven (Brynden Rivers) got what he really wanted by sitting on the Iron Throne at the end of the series. a small example of his master plan is that he is the one who tells Jon Snow, and Sansa (Arya) that he is a Targaryen leading to Dany and Jon off the table for Queen (murdered by Jon) or King (not accepted by the people because of killing Daynerys) at the end. This is an extremely smart move, something that even in your video isn't mentioned since it's so unexpected!! i mean even Martin didnt originally think that Bloodraven is the guy, he should really consider making this theory a reality.
