Now no matter what D&D would do, previously disappointed people will always keep complaining & find more reasons to justify their criticism.

Not fair comparison IMO because Cersei at least understands the Game of Thrones, which is more than can be said of D&D

The other part of her emulation of Tywin is that she seems to (in the books) only half listen to Tywin's lessons. Like the one about Robert wiping out the Iron Isles. Tywin literally tells Joffrey when he's being Joffrey that you need to both give fire and blood for defiance but then raise people up that bend the knee or else no one would ever bend to you. She just stops at the fire and blood part. It's like she just mimicks what she saw him do without clear understanding of the why. Show Tywin had it right about her: It's not just that she's a woman it's that she's not as smart as she thinks she is.

Hehe. Loras is waaay too beautiful to threaten Cersei. In seriousness I wonder if it ends up being Sansa. Cersei is the person responsible for having Sansa's wolf "Lady" executed. I re-read this chapter today and it is incredibly emotional, because of the pure callousness of Cersei (Sansa and Lady had nothing to do with the reason why Cersei has Lady executed). As a character Cercei's only satisfaction is to triumph over others (who hurt her son in this instance), no matter the means. Having Lady killed, was the beginning of the awakening of Sansa (symbolically killing the sleeping naive girl in order to become the awakened woman). Jon goes through this transition too. When this happens in a girls life moving into womanhood, there's usually a significant gargantuan ugly moment that awakens them from their blissful ignorant slumber into the awakened carnage of reality. The story of Bluebeard is an example of this awakening of a maiden to the horrors of reality. Sansa is married to Tyrion and literally has her own debt to pay for murdering Lady. But I suppose the logical progression for Sansa is to focus on removal of Littlefinger. That seems a like a boring conclusion. I'd much prefer a leftfield outcome we'd never expect =)

Tywin told Cersei that he doesn't mistrust her because she's a woman, he mistrusts her because she isn't as smart as she thinks she is. Father knows his daughter well. Yes, Tywin is a horrible monster but even he only kills those who cross him or pose a threat, he isn't overly friendly or nice to anyone but unlike Cersei he doesn't just hate every single person. Jamie did say that Cersei likes no one but her children. Yara neither has dragons, nor did she have a father who loved her unconditionally, she endured her father and became who she wanted to. Cersei was afraid of her father, of Robert, of her son, everything she did, she did because she was a miserable human being. She didn't love her kids or even Jamie. Ofc, Jamie is responsible for the part that he played in that relationship but Cersei unknowingly or knowingly perhaps, had a relationship with Jamie, to slap Tywin Lannister metaphorically. She really wanted to be the one Tywin considered extremely talented, she knew that Tyrion wouldn't get anything but seduced Jamie and bound him by having kids with him. Jamie was the heir, by every right, he could have married a beautiful woman, he could have had kids of his own, could have had a good life. She made sure both her brothers seemed incapable in Tywin's eyes, she didn't have to do much in Tyrion's case. She never realized that Tywin was a miserable human himself, that he could not give her that validation that she desperately craved. One of the reasons why she was an overprotective mother yet wasn't a good mother at all. One of the reasons she hated the Starks so much, they had power but above everything they cared about family and people of the North. Why she hated Sansa so much, Ned got his head cut off because he believed in his 13 year old daughter so much yet her father doesn't even believe her even as a woman. She hated everyone.

That's still love. Robert truly loved Lyanna. That doesn't mean he would have been able to overcome his lecherous nature but he clearly meant it in his heart. He probably would have killed her when he got drunk honestly, ironically for giving him stag horns (cucking him) as payback for him doing it to her. But we can't know that, clearly Robert was transformed by the trauma of a "perfect" life torn away from him and becoming king is bad for most people's morality. Also Robert was quick to anger but quick to cool and a charismatic friendly guy. Lyanna was also clearly an amazing woman, so even if Robert wasn't sensitive enough for her he would have been one of the few men that would let her fight or hunt with him. Most likely.

I like the idea that the 'younger, more beautiful' queen prophecy could be a reference to a younger Cersei. It's her actions when she was younger (namely her reaction to the prophecy) which, as stated at the end of the video, has led to her own downfall.

It was absurd and her anger towards him was an impatient reaction to that. She didn't understand that Jaime was going through an identity crisis at the time. Because yes he lost a hand but he was still her Jaime. She didn't see him differently. But he did. They were two people in need, neither in a position to give. This is why they fell apart.

I LOVE the theory of Brienne being the 'more beautiful one' who would take everything away from Cercei, which I was not familiar with before now. Even ignoring the idea of inner beauty (which I certainly will not!), we have already seen hints in the book that Cercei's own beauty is diminishing quickly, partly due to her new fondness for drinking and partly due to aging. I also suspect that as she grows more and more like the Mad King, giving in to paranoia and rage, she too will grow more ragged and unsightly over time. Throw in some mishaps with wildfire, and it may get bad enough that Brienne might actually start looking attractive by comparison.

17:11 "Ironically it isn't Maggy's prophecy, so much as Cersei's _fear_ of the prophecy". As Varys would say : "Prophecies are fulfilled when men believe in them, no more no less. They're tricks. Shadows on the wall." All fulfilled prophecies are self-fulfilled prophecies, as we can already observe from the prophecies of ancient Greek drama and some historical accounts - where in the place of Maggy the Frog there was Pythia ("Πυθία"), the high priestess of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. Interestingly the name "Pythia" itself betrays precisely the above function : "Πυθία" is an ancient Greek version of the modern Greek word "πειθώ" , which simply means "persuasion". Hence if the subjects of the various prophecies did not buy what Pythia said, and in particular did not fear and try to avoid the events of the negative prophecies, then they were safe from them. Of course almost everyone believed the pure BS the various Pythias sold them, because supposedly the prophecies (or, quite often, utter ramblings due to intoxication) were dictated by the god Apollo himself.. By the way, excellent analysis as always, with a very professional looking presentation.

Australian shamans used to be feared by the native people. Folk were so superstitious that when shaman cursed them to get ill and die they did exactly that. "The accounts made it clear that death did not occur as a result of suicide, but was a self-willed death caused by unconscious will. As a result of a malevolent spell or a curse, the individual felt a breakdown of communications or their good relationship with divine powers. In all cases, the person’s belief that they would shortly die was of crucial importance. This conviction was further intensified by the person’s friends and family, who were also convinced of the approaching death and avoided their company (in order to protect themselves from ‘ruination’). "

Instead he was (understandably) caught up with politics, and (less understandably) abusive to at least one of them with such prejudice which inevitably enabled their family dysfunction.

When you think about it the prophecy is actually harmless, especially in the show. "You will marry the king" quiet harmless already. "A younger, more beautiful queen will cast you down." Unless she planning on dying early or marrying her son Cersie will be cast down by another Queen since her son, the king, will need to marry. "You will have 3 childeren... gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds" you will have 3 childeren with golden hair(I think thats what it means or maybe 'gold crowns' means her childerens power will come from Lannister gold) and they will die. Like no shit, everyone dies. It doesn't even say that they will die young. Valenquar is the only part of the prophecy thats directly ominous and even that doesn't mean Cersies younger brother just a younger brother. If Cersie wasn’t such a bad person maybe she could have lived a long happy life and would be killed crying tears off happines at an event or smthing when a younger borther just assassinate her when she is in her late 90s because someone lost a bet to her or smthing. That would fulfill the prophecy compeletely when her childerens eventually died as well.

Here I am a few years later, after the show has collapsed. 23:50 is pretty interesting, how Cersei is standing on "the neck" and Jaime on "the fingers". They obviously never actualized that in the show, but I'm wondering if somebody in the crew did this on purpose haha.

But OOOH, when she turns to be excessively cruel and paranoid AF, Tywin has the nerve to be all “oH ma GAwd, whY ArE yoU LIkE thIs???” Hypocritical fuck and no right to be giving other people criticism. Literally the only difference between Jaime and Cersei is that Jaime got lucky enough to find someone that could change him where Cersei did not. Otherwise, Jaime would’ve continued to be just as messed up as Cersei, if not more (considering even she scolded the old Jaime for pushing a child out a window)

Gotta love how the show runners made a genius hint with Westeros map, the neck and the fingers without even realizing

If that "neck" and "fingers" reference on the map from season 7 is actually planned to occur in the books, that's some 300 IQ foreshadowing.

This video proofs that Cersei is one of the best characters of the whole show. Such a complex fascinating character arc.

Cersei is a terrible character. I don't respect a mother who lost 3 children to power and still didn't learn her lessons. I thought she learnt when she told Magery that Tomen would need her. Instead she flipped and got her inprisoned and later killed her. Cersei is a terrible character with poor judgement who think her stupidity is wisdom.

Goddy Win I've never understood why people would hate characters because of their personal judgement of their actions... I hate characters that are terribly written or inconsistent.

Cersei is a terrorist who killed her children with power, poor judgement and selfishness. I don't Identify with her, I don't like what she represents and I certainly don't understand her purpose in life. If her purpose is to protect her children, she failed. If her purpose is to protect the relm,, she fails. If her purpose is to declare herself queen and bark orders from a throne that doesn't belong to her, then she has succeeded. Once on top, there is only one way to go. The caracter might make for TV entertainment but I don't like her. To be honest when I rewatch GOT I skip everything Cersei. Her phylosophy is flawed, her choices are terrible and her decisions are yuk. The only good thing about Cersei is that a great actress is playing that role.

This was really well done, kinda like a college essay about GOT

I'm not that sure. I'd put the probability for Tyrion lower (maybe 5-10%, at least for the books, I think it's not interesting story-wise) and increase that for "someone else" to 15-20% Valyrian doesn't have genders. Thus, the valonqar could also be a little sister. Moreover, it doesn't say YOUR valonqar, just THE valonqar 13:29. So, it could be any little sister or brother. Some people think it's going to be Arya, Cersei is on her death list. Interestingly, there's precedence for the potential male misinterpretation of a gender-neutral prophecy. Before his death, maester Aemon convinces himself that Daenerys is the prince that was promised, because the prince was gender-neutral in the valyrian prophecy, so it could also be a princess that was promised and according to Aemon all the other signs fit as well. My bets are still on Jaime, though. It would be beautiful, dramatic, a 180 degree turn for the Jaime from earlier while at the same time being a repetition of history (mad king Aerys) and a conclusion to Jaime's redemption arc.

I take issue with the statement that "Robert loved Lyanna". They go to great lengths in both versions of the story to show us that Robert loved an idea that he had that LOOKED like Lyanna. That is called "infatuation" not "love". Plus a good 45% of that supposed love came from the fact that marrying her would make his best friend his brother ("by-law"). The other 55% stemmed from the fact that she was pretty and had a wild spirit. Who she actually was underneath that didn't seem to factor in. Book-Ned is so frustrated by Robert's constant pining away for the perfect life he thinks he would've had with his fantasy version of Lyanna that at one point he blurts out "You didn't even know her." Show-Robert openly admits that he can't even remember what she looked like. Because what she looked like and who she actually was is not important. What she represented to him is all he knows of her.

Coach Cro Does Robert seem emotionally dead to you? I'd say he's having a pretty damn good time in 50% of the scenes he's in. Sometimes he was angry or morose. But he obviously still had plenty of live emotions. But to answer your question, sure. It just depends on how much you've built it up in your own mind. Hell, you can wallow in self-pity for the rest of your life for any old random reason. People do it all the time. He fought a huge war and ended a dynasty, ostensibly for a chick who just wasn't all that into him. But the fantasy version of her in his mind was just as crazy about him as he was about her. That person never actually existed. Yes, this is an extreme case of infatuation fueled by insane circumstances. So if you want to argue semantics, there may be a more apt term to describe an infatuation that has been built up over years and years to such ludicrous proportions. "Obsession" maybe?

@coachcro7722

Hmm yes a married man with "three children" and what does he do? He only talks of Lyanna, he doesn't love his wife, he doesn't love "his" children and he's drunk most of the time. Does this sound like happiness to you?

I've never realized the westeros' map detail about the neck and the fingers! I really like your videos. Keep up with the excellent work.

Cersi in the books will be killed by the Valonqar (her younger brother). The book goes through great effort to tell you that Cersi emerged from the whom first, making Jamie her younger brother as well. Jamie will most likely kill Cersi, BUT perhaps he will do it as a kindness and a mercy at Cersi's request rather then in anger.

The theory about wildfire is interesting. Maybe just as aegon enters the city in victory and glory, and as his troops start the sack, cersei will blow up the entire city, causing the death of all the golden company and aegon. Jaime might have been rushing south with the Lannister host, and just as he closes in, he sees the flames from far away. Once he get there, with the city, burnt to ash, cersei might be waiting in the castle, and he kills her.

Another popular fan theory is that the young beauty to usurp her will be Sansa, as whilst Margaery is never actually stated to be as beautiful or more than Cersei, Sansa is actually compared to Cersei directly in a way that suggests she is at least as beautiful and potentially more. At least in this outcome Sansa would get to do something other than be a massive pain

"I don't respect you not because you're a woman, but because you're not nearly as clever as you think you are." - Tywin to Cercei For her supposed complexities, she's still a very shallow and self-centered character with too many flaws to make her redeemable. Hell, even GRRM said that Cercei's only redeemable trait is that she is a caring mother. For a good amount of the series her goal was to build her children up, but after they die she loses that purpose and the only thing she sought was power and power alone. And worst of all, in these pursuits of power her ego lets her way overstep on her power grabs that will only mean her ruin by the end of it all. She makes it no secret she does not respect anyone, and that open disdain for most people only has people respond in kind. All her moves are for her ego, and if a move she makes means more perceived power she will take it without ever considering the consequences. Tywin, while egocentric, made sure that every move he made was heavily calculated. He always positioned himself to be on the winning side and the respect of his followers was paramount to maintaining power. He clawed and obtained the absolute power that Cercei pines for, but recognized the need for subtlety like you addressed in the video. Playing the Game of Thrones isn't just about subjugating those beneath you and climbing to the top, it's a complex series of stepping stones, some forcing you to move two steps back before you can make 3 steps forward, and Tywin recognized this. Cercei however lets her frustrations and fears get the better of her and will be the vehicle of her own self-fulfilling prophecy. For all that has wronged her in life, she has not been dealt the worst hand by any means but she's been playing her cards in all the wrong ways. As you said the more she fights the more she loses, and will inevitably be the one who puts the final nails in her own coffin as a result. She has driven everyone away like the mad king and will ironically have the Kingslayer once again live up to his name by killing the person he once swore to protect

I always thought that the younger more beautiful queen was lyanna. I know that given how the prophecy is worded it makes it seem like her downfall will come AFTER her kids have died but imo her children dying is her downfall - since they’re the people she cares about the most. Her marriage to Robert and the subsequent death of her children is the result of the aftermath of Robert’s rebellion which wouldn’t have happened if not for lyanna who was younger than Cersei and “more beautiful” in the eyes of some - rhaegar who Cersei was into. Also her being crowned “queen of love and beauty” adds to that. In got we’ve seen that prophecies don’t always work out the way the characters think they do had lyanna running away/ being kidnapped not happened then who knows maybe Cersei would’ve had a better life

Cersei's biggest enemy has always been herself.

In the show Jamie is going north to help jon snow....what I think is that Jamie will die fighting the white walkers....then arya will use Jamie's face and come to kings landing and kill cersei as she is in her list of names. Cersei will think Jamie is killing her when in reality it will be arya..also arya will be accompanied by the hound who will take his revenge from the mountain.

Honestly, Tywin's quote about controlling with fear is the most accurate thing I've heard in game of thrones.

I'm no lover of Cersei, but the moral of the story is clear: force girls and women to live as powerless objects, and they may grow into monsters to assert the strength stolen from them.
