Season 8: A rebel army can ride from North to South with no opposition from loyalists or the Queen's army.

Obryn Martyll is one of the greatest fighters in The Seven Kingdoms and he died because of his arrogance. One little mistake, in a blink of an eye, got him killed. While Sam Tarly, a fat, coward and weak man survived an attack by dozens of zombies. Wtf. The action in GoT had so much stake and tension because death could happen to anyone for any little slip. But D&D kinda forgot about the reality of death and war.

I think the thing with Tyrion was that he knew exactly who he was and what his strengths and weaknesses were, and his character's power came from that. After killing Shae and Tywin, and losing everything, he lost his motivations, and with it, lost his mojo. It's not entirely stupid, but the way that it's not at all shown or demonstrated on-screen is just another wasted opportunity. Especially when he spent an entire season just getting drunk and pouting. So much wasted screen time.

Having him expertly using a shortsword in his left and using his metal hand and maybe a lower armguard as a club, or strapping a shield to his right arm and just have him become a sword and shield specialist like the guy in the vale from the first season but having to swap hands and re-train would of been better i think at keeping him believable deadly, on the show he just bumbles and we never see him getter really good again practising with bronn.

If you listen to the Two Towers score, specifically "The Hornburg" and "Forth Eorlingas" (sorry, I mean "FORTH... EORLINGAS!") plus the last minute of "Breath of Life," I mean... nothing beats that. Shore captured those scenes in his music. In comparison, the music in the Long Night was so boring. It felt rushed and didn't have the same heart as a lot of Djawadi's other GoT songs (e.g.: "Light of the Seven" S6; "Wildfire" S2; "Son of the Harpy" S5; "Finale" S1; "Dracarys" S3; "A Lannister Always Pays His Debts" S3; "Hardhome, Pt. 1&2" S5; "Let's Play A Game" S6). I'll give some credit to "The Night King": that is a really well-written piece, even for S8, but it's soured by the whole Arya/Bran debacle. I'm still really disappointed with how lackluster S8's soundtrack was. Anyway, the long and the long of it is the music in the Long Night really sucked, even for Djawadi.

Someone will get swarmed, looks like they are dead, scene cuts to another person. They get swarmed, look like they dead. Then it fucking cuts away again.

The hordes of Dothraki are effective from the back of a horse, not on foot. In essence - there are magically many Northmen and Dothraki, exhausted, depleted in nummers and hungry.

For all of the problems with the end of GoT i don't think this was one of them. Sandor tells arya how revenge only leads to self destruction, and then demonstrates that to us by dying with his brother. I think that despite recognizing the futility of revenge, sandor was inextricably tied to his brother - he believed it was his destiny to be the one to end his brother's murderous life. The result of the hound's growth was in guiding arya away from revenge, while being unable to live by his own revelation. He's a classic tragic hero

Like how she pushed the bolder onto the ship that followed them from riverrun (they had no chance of escape) and then scaled the cliff to land back in the boat when Jaime thought he was going to escape. Physically she is dextrous as well as big probably due to how females are more flexible then men. The way she processed threats in the book to escape capture and being mugged was pretty impressive. The hound is big and relys on strength not necessarily adaptation throughout fighting. It seems that an infection could have such an impact of someone with rigid fighting tactics.

You know what's really weird about it is that The Long Night cinematographer also worked on the movie Overlord, which didn't have a giant budget either but it was very well lit and used very creative effects when it needed. Plus it didn't look like they shot in jet blackness; it was lit enough to see what was going on and used some unique color too, gave it a comic book feel but in a good way.

I’m someone who plays strategy games and who loves to turtle (it’s when you set up a defensive perimeter and hold the line - very fun -even more fun to break. The Battle of Winterfell is so bad that even non-strategy players can poke holes in it. What was the plan for defeating the army. Yes the goal was to kill the NK, but you’d think that the goal to achieve that would be to kill enough zombies so that the White walkers get involved. What was the plan with the Dothraki? Charge into the darkness (their plan didn’t involve flaming swords too, Melisandre wasn’t expected) What was the plan with the unsullied? Just die basically What was the plan with the moat of fire? Wait for it to go out or for the undead to adapt to it - remember two towers, nonstop arrow volleys. Why were the trebuchets in front of the infantry? why were the infantry in front of the moat of fire? Why were the light cavalry charging blind into an army? I wanted a back and forth where the armies of the living would win against the hoarse of the undead with their fortifications, but a WW or the NK or Viserion would break said fortification and then they’d have to fall back to the next fortification. Similar to in Return of the king how the nazgul fucked with Minas Tiriths trebuchets. The goal should be. Multiple moats of fire with unsullied at the front spearing through. With fire arrows being launched too. A WW clears the first moat and the dead pour through. The unsullied are quick to respond, but it’s obvious the sheer numbers and the fact it’s a dead army with no fear or pain, can’t be stopped so they fall back to the next moat of fire. Several characters are killed. Brienne could duel with a WW and kill it and that causes a lot of undead around to die and the NK is forced to react. A roar is heard, they look up to see a blue light behind the cloud and fog, the fire bursts through and demolishes the next moat of fire leaving one moat left, the unsullied do their thing again and hold the line while everyone retreats. Dany and Jon were holding back until the last moat anyway. Jon starts hitting the undead when the first moat fell and tells Dany she can come or not when the next moat falls. They didn’t want both the dragons to be vulnerable to the Night King. I could go on but what’s hilarious is how my plot is worth 0 dollars and dumb and dumber made millions.

Yeah there was nothing good in the Battle of Winterfell. My favourite "kinda forgot" moment was then they hide the women, children and Tyrion down in the crypt. They are fighting an enemy who can raise the dead and they hide their vulnerable in a crypt full of corpses. *facepalm* Personally I like the idea of the Night King surprising them by bypassing Winterfell altogether and marching south to King's Landing. This would take care of the issue of having two main antagonists and mean we could have one final climactic battle instead of two. However I'm not sure how Daenerys' turn to madness would happen in this scenario.

Sure, but the whole point of them is they are unrelenting, innumerable and they can even be raised again. They could have taken their time and still would have won. The heroes could have easily run for their lives and it still would have been terrifying, perhaps even moreso.

They should have done a Witch King scenario. Have Jon on the backfoot, the Night King is about to finish him...Then have Arya backstab the Night King, he shrieks in pain, allowing Jon to decapitate him.

My least favourite scene in the entire show was during the Long Night when Jon paused and had to make a decision between saving Sam or going after Viserion. There was actually a lot of emotion in that scene as he decided to leave his best friend to die in order to fight an extremely tough opponent that had been hyped up and yet to get a good action scene. The setting was perfect for Jon to fight a dragon, something that also has never been done in the show. It would have been a powerful scene.... But then the dragon falls to bones as Jon is about to get killed after doing nothing and then Sam somehow doesn't die, rendering Jon's initial impossible decision absolutely useless and devoid of any emotion. So after all that hype all we saw from Viserion was him getting absolutely bodied by Rhaegal. But at least Jon got to yell at a dragon instead of like...I don't know... fighting it?. That was cool right? RIGHT!?

you did a great job with this analysis, especially with your points about inconsistency. Inconsistency is the death of coherent story-telling. The audience will not have a clear understanding of what the characters are like, what they can do and cannot do, what their intentions are and etc., and as a result, any kind of story you're telling about them loses any ground and becomes a pointless mesh of events. Season 8 was a great example of this. People in film schools should use it as a model for how not to write a TV show.

The scene where Drogon goes through the Tower of the Hand, with Dany on his back. I know, Plot Armor, but seriously, how is Jon even able to stab her? She can go through solid walls without a scratch😂

In many ways, "The Long Night" is the reverse "Battle of the Bastards", in that the later felt more realistic than most if not all epic cold-weapon battles in films. In "Battle of the Bastards", the spectacle was in service of the real strategies and tactics, and you could tell Ramsay was a tactical genius who correctly anticipated each and every move of Jon Snow. On the contrast, "The Long Night" made little strategical or tactical sense from beginning to end.

And the worst of all of course is the Deus ex Machina that saved everyone.

I know I’m late to this video but a few defenses I have for the long night, the darkness during the long night was explained that it was extremely dark if I recall correctly by the old lady(can’t remember her name) that told stories in to bran while he was in bed. The other defense I have for the episode was about the Dothraki charge and competence of the wights there compared to the rest of the episode, the wights were probably packed very tightly together and when the Dothraki hit their line they probably were able to get through a few rows but it would have gotten to dense for the horses and the impact likely would have made the Dothraki go flying off their horses causing a large pileup and the fact there were giants probably made the situation worse l, you could have probably mentioned how many giants were shown they had in the past compared to the one we actually got in the episode.

Another point regarding the long night episode is the utter lack of competence by all the characters when planning for the battle. To think that they have proven war tacticians in Jamie, Tyrion, Jon, Jorah, Tormund to name a few… and their chosen tactics are unbelievably stupid. They are up against a countless horde of undead that would overrun them in the field, but they luckily have one of the most formidable fortresses in Winterfell. Yet they decide to plonk everyone OUTSIDE the walls. Putting their artillery, one of their chief counters against the dead, out in front so they can only let off one cinematic barrage before it’s instantly overrun. Suicide charging the Dothraki (light cavalry) head first into the darkness with flame swords just for another cinematic scene. Having that time to prepare for the battle and only digging a couple of ditches when they could’ve made way more obstacles. Not having oil barrels, but Bron can even think of that for kings landing. Putting the women and children in the CRYPTS. I could go on. Even if the lightning was good enough so that we could see the battle, the illogical tactics could send any total war player mad.

I'll admit that I'm not huge on battles over and over and over in one season. Maybe I'm a wimp, but carnage disturbs me greatly. But even I could delight in Hardhome bc it was also done so well! I am a huge ASOIAF/GOT fan, so I forced myself to finish season 8, but I really wish I hadn't. Thanks for all your work and expertise!

What are all songs in the background

When they sent the Dothraki into the night I realised everything would go terribly

I love every single one of your videos, just because they all rant about season 8 lol. But now i would like to know: who was your favourite GoT character? Btw i just love your work, i beg you to never stop making videos about Game of Thrones!

@Catwoman I agree with you a 100%. I've literally watched every single rewrite of season 8 so far, and almost every single one of them satisfied me, but the one we got. Of course I would've been happier if my queen lived at the end, but that's not the main point why I hate season 8. It's because season 8 is the last season and it comes to show, because everything is just cramped inside of it, and all the good story arcs are leaking out of it. Why did almost every main character survive the battle of winterfell when it was supposed to be the most epic battle in tv history? They really should've switched the battle of King's Landing and the battle of Winterfell, because one is significantly more important than the other, I guess we all know wich one. Why was the mad queen story arc so poorely executed, and why did they even make her the mad queen, when it was the number one thing everyone thought was gonna happen? Didn't they want to 'subvert expectations'? It wouldn't be a surprise to me if George would die before even finishing the last book honestly, and i truly hope with all my heart that he chooses a better ending without the mad queen arc.

The ultimate assassination of Dany's character to me was how she could've been a role model. She could have taught people all around the world that its worth to fight for your freedom and against tyranny. That its false that other people deserve a better life for no reason than you do and just because the law tries to cripple your whole being there is still hope and you CAN stand up against injustice. She gave a lot of people this kind of hope, but it doesn't matter now, they absolutely ruined it and most just think that she has always been a monster. Thats the bittersweet ending for me.

I remember when The Long Night came out, idiots were saying that people who complained about not being able to see it should “get a better TV”. I watched it on my TV (when I’d normally use my IPad), turned the brightness all the way up, and I still couldn’t see it.

Would you be willing to do a comparison between the hardhome or mance rayder siege vs the long night?
