In one chapter, he is sleeping, and he seemingly hears the noise and awakes in fear.

The fact that the fan base is so desperate for any magic in this series they’ll cling to any hope of it is irrelevant to the truth of what’s going on, especially when it doesn’t make any sense within the established mythology of the series. Because let’s assume for one moment he’s right, and he becomes an elder god...then what? What can any of our characters do to combat him that would fill two books which are going to take over a decade to write at this point?

Euron Greyjoy is such a wonderful source of creative inspiration for writing a villain. George RR Martin takes him from being this nobody character mentioned once early on in the story off-handedly; the middle child of a family ruling over a bunch of illiterate, violent idiots; to being a serious political contender, to eventually being framed as possibly the final boss of the series. The way he just swaggers into the story as if he was always meant to be there, and immediately asserts his claim before leading his rabble on a violent crusade across the country in search of his goals. The way that he is framed, over the course of a single book, as one of the most unrepentantly evil characters in the whole show; pissing in the face of everything other people fear or abhor. He makes numerous seemingly impossible claims, some of which he has evidence for, others he does not, leading one to question where the lies begin and what he is truly capable of. There's something truly striking about the image of an insane sorcerer pirate, standing in the face of a great storm as all hell breaks loose around him, and he's just smiling.

The description of book Euron is one of my all time favorite descriptions of a villain. A madman who isn't scared of gods' punishments and decides to make himself a god. Martin has cited Stan Lee's Marvel as a major influence, and it's easy to see some comparisons between Euron and one of Marvel's greatest villains, Dr Doom. Doom is arrogant to a fault, is a sorcerer, has sacrificed a woman who loved him for personal power, and wears a special suit of armor. Traits shared with Euron.

So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them.

Much more....

I'm pretty sure Euron was introduced by two other names in the books: Urrathon Nightwalker in Qarth (whose glass candles are burning) and the Corsair King in Astapor, who wanted to buy the Unsullied before Dany.

I think that one more thing that should be theorized in the connection between Euron and the Bloodstone Emperor is a possible matter of descendancy. In the World of Ice and Fire it is said that the Ironborn myth says they came not from the first men, though east, but through the Sunset Sea. And what most problably lies on the other side of it is a shoreline close to Ashai and Stygai. A place wich problably was part of the Great Empire of the Dawn, wich existed untill the Long Night. Just as Dany and those of purple eyes might be related to the Amethyst Empress, Euron and perhps all of he ironborne might be related to the Bloodstone Emperor. So he might have died, but not quite perished.

Euron is way too hardcore for Westros, he belongs in Warhammer or something. And this is why I like the way GRRM does fantasy. His approach to the genre is so much more diverse than others. It leaves room for that sense of adventure and wonder, but also sheds light on the absolutely horrifying aspects of living in such a world where monsters and magic exist... and psychopaths like Euron can utilize both if they are smart enough. It's like ASOIAF inhabits a space between the more mainstream high fantasy of Lord of The Rings... and Warhammer Fantasy where everything sucks and we're all probably gonna die in some horrible fashion sooner rather than later.

There are no Tywin Lannister's in LOTR, or Roose Bolton's. There are no Jaime Lannister's or Jon Snow's. It's all pretty black and white. The characters in ASOIAF and even Warhammer Fantasy are actually much more "human" than those in Tolkien's works.

However, the Iron Islands are a small nation with a relatively weak tradition of magic compared to Khemri, so he has his work cut out for him.

It really makes the actual game for the iron throne look so small in comparison lol

One interesting thing about Euron is how he compares to all the other characters who believe they can flirt with war, chaos, and raw power to achieve their goals and be able to control the outcome (Doran through absurd caution, Dany with her dragons, Bloodraven and his greenseer shenanigans, etc.) Then you have Euron, Littlefinger, Roose, even Bronn to an extent. The other characters have admirable (or at least semi-admirable) goals: Free the slaves, free the North, bring evil people to justice with minimum loss of life, depose usurpers, etc. But that means they have scruples, and when the chaotic "storm of swords" rages the unencumbered rise to the top while those weighed down by rules and honor are pulled under. Euron is like Litterfinger on crack: Both *intentionally* provoke the uncontrollable storm for their own advantage, but the latter only wants a country in chaos, while the former wants *global/cosmic* chaos.

I LOVE Euron as a villain. For one thing, it's kind of refreshing that a prospective "dark lord" is basically a pirate without even the pretentions of royalty or iron-fisted dictatorship. You know, chaotic evil, not lawful evil. Secondly, I like seeing this from the reverse perspective. It's like getting a Sauron origin story before Lord of the Rings. Only there's no modern Wicked or Maleficent re-write that tries to cast the villain in a tragic light. Euron's story is compelling not because we root for him, it's absorbing because watching someone say, "I want to take over the world with dark magic" and watch him actually make strides to accomplishing that goal is frightening!

Moqorro the red priest tells Tyrion that their ship is not the only company seeking to find Daenerys, and Tyrion asks who else Moqorro has seen in the flames. Moqorro responds that he has seen "Only their shadows... One most of all. A tall and twisted thing with one black eye and ten long arms sailing on a sea of blood." Definitely has to be Euron, right?

I really love how you're now telling this from the perspective of the novels with only occasional references to...the other thing.

The abomination

I kind of want him to fall to the powers he's trying to control. As interesting as it would be to see humans trying to kill an honest to god Cthulhu monster. How classic would it be for him to just become overwhelmed by the powers he himself summoned

I do too, BADLY. I can see him being smashed by the combined fury of all the Gods whose priests he is torturing to make worship him and or sacrificing to the Cosmic Evil Energy to get supreme power for himself. On that day they will all become the God of Death.

Out of all the different plots this is the one I'm most excited for.

dany bey Crusader Kings II. It’s a medieval dynastic simulator where you can play some of history’s most infamous lineages, or create your own dynasty. I wed the King of Sweden to my aids-ridden, lustful daughter. He got infected and they both died. I was next in line to the throne. I did it on purpose. See, while Littlefinger was busy playing the Game of Thrones, I’m playing 5-dimensional Cyvasse. There’s also an ASoIaF version to this game. Gave Game of Thrones the ending I wanted lol. You can also play as Rhaegar during the rebellion and try to win. Honestly, great game.

In the Game of Thrones mod for CK2 Euron is literally a CK2 character, so...

Now I see what they meant when they said the show needed like 14 seasons to be a faithful adaptation

Jesus, Euron is terrifying, that says a lot coming from a Game of Throne story

The moment I saw Euron in the show and he didn't even have an eye patch I knew another character was about to be ruined. I had no idea just how badly, though. Took one of the actual most mysterious and potentially threatening forces in the series and made him... just some really thirsty dude, I guess?

I get what you mean, but I think Griffith's vibes are more satanesque, someone whose destiny is to fall and he can't change that even if he tried (or at least that's what the story portraits) Griffith did some awful things before the eclipse but he never intended that to happen, he wanted his ascension to be as peaceful as it could be, he didn't have a problem killing for that but he did what he could to avoid a biblical bloodbath and he kinda triggered the e eclipse by "accident" cause at that point he just wanted to die. Griffith is a leaf at the winds will, Euron is a storm

The difference is that griffith before becoming a husk wasn't as cruel as euron, yes griffith had done some evil things but it wasn't as constant as eurons. Plus the entire point of the behlit is to sacrifice what you hold dear to you and what keeps you anchored to humanity in exchange for ultimate power and to become a servant of the godhand in exchange for the apostles. While griffith may not have cared for the rest of the band of the hawk, he did care for guts and arguably casca, griffith also had dreams of one day becoming a king not a god, the behlit only activates when the person holding them is at their lowest point. Euron on the other hand cares for noone and while also having a similar dream for power like griffith, euron will eventually turn on those who have been loyal to him. With miuras death however we will never know what the true plans of griffith and the godhand are, I am hoping that martin won't fallow in his footsteps and will be able to finish his work and hopefully give us a new and better show.

This is my favorite video of yours. A few years ago I put a pause on reading the books after the first because life got in the way. Way before that, reading about him, I was so hyped up to see Euron on the show, but instead we got what they gave us. But this video was the spearhead to get me back into reading the books, so I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing that for me

I live how alt shift will do a serious and well researched 25 min video and still sneak a line like "Asshai is like a hogwart for edgelords"

@@niranjanrajesh1058 no he himself said that he went and read on euron's character from the books. I didnt say that he read all 5-6 books as if he's some old fan like Barristan's actor did. Literally one of his earliest interviews back when he was first reported to have joined the cast as euron, he hypes up euron as comparing him to ramsay basing it on what he read up on euron. He couldve read like a wiki post for all we know

“Asshai is like Hogwarts for edgelords” is the single greatest line in ASOIAF fandom history.

Just finished all the books and sample chapters and immediately wanted to watch this video again. You’re one of the reasons I decided to read the books!
