Tbf, it's not Ghost's fault that his years of good service and loyalty were repaid with crappy writing. Ghost can't help that the show decided to treat their best direwolf as a useless CGI prop rather than as an actual emotional point for Jon (seriously, abandoning a loyal animal companion should have evoked SOME sad reaction from Jon, certainly more than what we as an audience received).
Season 1: Ned Stark gets a spear through the leg from a random soldier - spends the next episode bedridden and clearly unwell Season 8: Brienne, Jaime and Sam are mauled by an army of zombies - get a few bruises and spend the next episode partying and banging
Logically Jaime with his left hand would have trouble beating two normal men on his own. These are inhuman beings who are quicker than humans do not tire and also have weapons. And there was like 50 wights for one person. Jaime should have been killed in 5 seconds. And the others as well.
Don't forget the reason why Jon has ghost in the first place is because he was the albino mute runt of the litter. He was the outcast that shouldn't exist. That connection to ghost is much more significant than direwolves being the sigil of the Starks.
Mauler: "Why would these toolbags do this, it goes against their characters previously established for a cheap shock for the audience-" *gives up trying to make sense of this dreck* SCREW IT
We must move quickly. The desperate fanboys and shill media are relentless. If they are not all destroyed, it will be civil war without end. First, I want you to go and do episode 4.
Two years behind, but how dare you compare these writers to a ham sandwich... a ham sandwich has the potential to leave you satisfied after you've finished it.
I find it so odd that all of the other cities on the map are given their city names while the kingdom of Dorne is represented with a single city. I assume it was the Water Gardens, but it could have easily been Sunspear.
D&D did that on purpose because they dont like brown arab people..Thats why they totally messed up Dornish characters from the start. im not supprised by this since 2 jewish directors/writers got the job because of their dad was a director at HBO
@@winterman8248 Lol, Dornish aren't "Arabs" otherwise the whole Matrilineal succession and sexual openness would be out of question, it's as far away from Arab culture as it gets. Anyway Eastern desert Dornish are brown because they are Rhoynish, while Western mountain Dornish are white First Men, like Starks.
@@Mr.Heller Also Andalusia was made up of Fair skin Arab all the way to dark skin Arab. Just to relate to what you said about the colours of people in Dorne :)
Thank *god* someone mentioned the issue with how the show treated the Direwolves. I've never forgiven the writers for what they did to Grey Wind (Robb's direwolf). In the books, at the Red Wedding, Grey Wind broke out of his 'pen', slaughtered six Frey soldiers to try and get to Robb before eventually being peddled with arrows and dying. He also 'sensed' the Red Wedding and tried to warn Robb (which Caitlyn points out from her POV saying that GW was acting very anxious). THEY ARE GOOD DOGGOS.
My guilty pleasure is watching screen rants about GOT a year after it's horrible, horrible ending. It's cathartic. It's healing. I hate how badly this show ended for all the characters.

It’s nothing compared to the previous lines about Tysha. Jaime should’ve been hightailing it out of the room the minute her name was brought up (considering they didn’t bring up that plot in Season 4).
Instead of the bullshit in episode 3 this is *How I would subvert expectations* have the Night King explain to Jon his motives: Being the white walkers awaken during times of crisis and civil war to unite Westeros against a common enemy and restore peace... idk i just wanted a satisfying ending 🤷🏽♂️
@Волфсангел What makes it worse is the fact that the previous season he spoke to Theon, telling him that he is 'both Greyjoy, and Stark'. and yet they wrote Jon off as if the knowledge of Targaryen blood overtakes everything about him that is Stark. He is Stark, he was born a Stark and raised a Stark. But nope, just Targaryen now.
GOT Fans: Are you guys (grits teeth).....ok? D&D: We just kinda forgot that we are terrible writers and thought that we could write better than Martin. GOT Fans: You.....what? You've ruined everything. D&D: SMASH THE BEETLES CLUNKK CLUNKKJ!!!!!!!!
@Волфсангел Robert Baratheon did nothing wrong. He was even right about the HOAR. Lyanna, Rhaegar and Aerys were the ones responsible for the war, unless Lyanna really was kidnapped. B-but Rhaegar was the Silver Prince so he must have been the Perfect Paragon, as opposed to being someone who was obsessed with Prophecy to the point where he 'forgot' he already had a wife and children.
@Волфсангел oh no, agreed. Nobody was honestly 'good' during the Rebellion, and the repercussions of being the way they were tarnished their own names. Eddard with his named soiled for 'sleeping with another person to get Jon', Rhaegar for being a 'thief', Robert for his hate for anything dragon, etc.
"Perhaps the true night king were the friends we made along the way" LMFAO this entire GOT unbridled rage series is more entertaining that GOT seasons 5-8 combined
Season 8 was so bizarre, it was like all the characters were acting like they were written by a fanfiction writer who only watched one season and couldn't write a story for shit.
and the characters were speaking as though they were audience members who hadn't paid attention the last 15 episodes of the show, rather than characters in the show
@@curtiswhyte3297 Jon's perceived mother (random woman ned stark had a go with) was not from the North. His real mother was of course from winterfell but nobody knew that. So I disagree with you regarding the importance from where the mother is from.
@@curtiswhyte3297 Could you please provide a link to where it says it? Also that still doesn't make sense since the woman Ned 'had' Jon with (Wylla, yes she is a real person not just someone Ned made up) is from Dorne, so if it really was based on where the mother is from he would still be called Sand and not Snow. Edit: Also with regards to Gendry he would still be called Waters no matter which of these naming conventions is true, because his mother was from King's Landing and he was born there. So either way his name should still be Waters.
@@curtiswhyte3297 exactly Ned came back from the war with Jon. The war never took place in the North. It won't make sense for his misstres to be from the North. Why sleep with another woman when your wife is a few hours away.
The excuse of "patting Ghost goodbye would be too expensive." Isn't founded in reality. There is nothing to it. Give me a green screen and the Wolf/Husky that Ghost is played by and Kit Harirngton and I'd have that shot done after 10 minutes in the editing room. There is no CGI involved. And getting Ghost to "react" the correct way isn't an issue. Getting a dog to react like it's being petted when it's being petted is surprisingly easy. Own up to mistakes D&D.
I have a German Shepherd, he's called Zane. I've had him since he was 11 weeks, he turned two first of March this year. Every morning he smothers me, wagging his tail and making happy noises like he hasn't seen me in days. He comes nearly everywhere with me, he's protected me from a fight, helped me with my mental health, and is my absolute heart and soul. I've had people constantly comment on how nice he is, Hell people have even offered to buy him from me, Zane's loved by almost everyone who meets him. I would be dead if I didn't have Zane And Jon, who had Ghost four times longer than I've had Zane, who have been through Hell and back together, who have fought together, saved and have always been there for each other, just gives him away . . . . . CUN-!
22:48 "That was a ballista, excellency. Strengthened by bronze plates and strung with horsehair. It can propell heavy bolts up to a mile away. A deadly and very effective weapon, but it has one weakness. The recoil of the arms is so strong upon firing that the weapon shifts. It simply cannot hit the same spot twice."
You forgot to mention how they absolutely butchered the special bond Jon Snow shared with Ghost, his direwolf, when he just let him go. No heartfelt talk, no hug, he didn't even pet him...
The way Jon refuses to embrace Ghost in any way while releasing him was the end for me. So fucking heartless for no apparent reason, even by this universes standards.
Man, it's been two years, but - Remember how Baelish plotted day and night for years to get a position in small council, then continued to backstab, bribe, spy, kill and whatnot to finally get control of the Vale? And then we have Bronn who just waltzed in, pointed a crossbow at Tyrion and Jaime and got the Reach, the wealtihest goddamn region! This fuc king show!
ThatHandsomeDevil08 I’m still upset the rest of the cast partook in it. Even Emilia Clarke. She got it worse than every single devoted actor on the show. Nice going, D&D, you absolute cabbages
@@eid8fkebe7f27ejdjdjduyhsvqhwu2 Clearly what the show was lacking was more scenes of a dragon laying waste to an entire city, we need about an hour of this sort of content, we don't need anything else.
I'm detecting a subtle undertone that you were unhappy with how Ghost got treated. Every time you came back to that I started laughing. Well played. Subscribed.
I didn't know much about Game of Thrones before seeing this video, and because of that I didn't have much investment in the story. However, I recently decided to start reading the books, and all I can say is what. The. Fuck. The very first chapter, literally the first taste we get of the story after the prolouge, is about Jon Snow getting his dog. That's how the story starts. That pupper was so important to George that he opened the story with it. It gets worse though. I assumed that the dire wolf was just a loyal companion to Jon and nothing more, but it's so much more than that. In the book (I haven't seen the show so I don't know what's been changed) there was a whole litter of dire wolf pups, and at first there appeared to be five. Jon convinced his father, lord Stark, to keep the pups because there were three males and two females, the same number of children Stark had born in wedlock. Jon internationally left himself out, saying he was not a true Stark. Demeaning himself so that the doggos had a chance at life. But then, a sixth pup was found, one that was albino, and unlike the others had already opened its eyes. This was more than just another pup. This was JON'S pup. The albino skin set it apart from the others, and also meant that it had worse chances of surviving on its own. The members of Stark's household looked down on it, but Jon took the dog into his arms, saying "This one belongs to me". Think about that for a second. Just seconds ago, Jon humbled himself so that his siblings of higher birth could have wolves of there own. Then, a special wolf pup appeared, distinct from the others, it's white skin almost mirroring Jon's shameful surname of snow. The book makes it explicitly clear that these two are meant to be together. They have a bond that goes beyond friendship. It was fate that brought them together. Just think about what it must have meant for Jon in that moment. The mere existence of this pup validates him as a child of Ned Stark. It serves as a sign that he is special, and that he survives against all odds. Not to mention that the dire wolf is the symbol of house Stark. This wolf is not just a companion. This wolf IS Jon Snow. In short, I'm literally only one chapter into the first book, and I can already see ways that the showrunners screwed up the characters beyond repair. Jon would never abandon his wolf, Jon would never leave without saying goodbye, and the writers have shown that they didn't even try to understand the source material. What. The. Fuck.
I never read the books, hell I only got into game of thrones thanks to maulers videos. Fuck that is an incredible connection that jon had to ghost, and its absolutely wasted. Thank you for the insight. Truly
I came back to this video series after finishing ADWD. It is so fucking jarring. Like, the characters have the same names, but that is where the resemblance stops. Varys becoming an unimportant mouthpiece character is just so shamefully cringeful.
The producers said Ghost was "tricky" to film, so they didn't have him on the show more often. By contrast, dragons are very tame and a pleasure to work with on set.
Artist here, it's about the fur. Still, you could have done that with cropped shots and wolf skin. Less beautiful of a cinematic shot, but amazingly cheap and priceless for story-telling.
@@lordz00 I'm not saying that you're wrong or anything, but did you see the budget and the SFX team behind it? They have no excuses, they probably could've rendered ten doggos with no problem.
I feel a bit silly. I kept watching the video and MauLer made this same point. Still, it shows how much the producers care about the show. Furthermore, I don't suppose getting a more camera friendly white dog is too hard, especially if CGI can be used to touch up the footage.
@@magogosora7711 I'd just like to know what the ingredients of an "absolute ham sandwich" are. I mean, what brand of ham and bread, the type and brand of condiments, and, what, if any, lettuce, tomato, or other foods are stuffed into it? I'm truly curious. Millions could be made on it.
In case the rage has faded at all, remember that they took an EXTRA YEAR to film this flaming shit-heap of a season. After sn 7, everyone was all "Alright, that was a bit of a speed bump...but look! They're taking another year to make sn 8! That MUST mean it'll be excellent! Another whole year, to film 6 episodes. This is what they came up with
Gendry wouldn't even be a "Waters". Since he was not a recognised bastard, he'd have no surname. Robert's only recognised bastards in the books had surnames - Mya Stone, and Edric Storm. The rest were not recognised and had no surnames.
"they could have cut every crypt scene out of episode 3 and nothing would have changed" It even worse than that. They could have cut the entire episode 3 out of season 8 and nothing would have changed.
No. Plenty would have changed. Namely, the largest crybaby tantrum in Internet history would have been avoided, and 900,000 armchair critics who think they know writing better than the HBO team wouldn't be polluting the entire internet with pitchforks in hand.
@@davemccombs At least most people that you call "crybaby" or "armchair critics" have good arguments and good valid points. Meanwhile die hard fans like you are blindly defending it without thinking.
@@0Ropy0 Don't worry about this fool. They've been in a bunch of other threads claiming that all of the legitimate criticism the show has been getting boils down to people crying about their 'Looper theories' being wrong, as if anyone with half a brain cell even takes Looper seriously.

D&D deserve all the hate they are getting. They have failed themselves, they have failed hbo, they have failed the fans, but worst of all they have failed the hardworking actors and crew who made this amazing series happen. Shame. Shame. Shame.
I guess they also forgot, Jon straight up told Theon he could be both Stark and Greyjoy last season too. But nah, Jon has to choose to be either Stark or Targaryen
remember when dany was smart enough to deploy scouts, trick enemies by letting them believe she doesn't speak and understand valyrian, marry someone she dislikes and allow fighting pits to increase morel, trick the khals and kill them instead of running away, survive the house of the undying, etc. etc. etc. etc. she used to be extremely smart and she did most of that without the full power of her dragons. dany overcame many obstacles because of her intelligence and ability to make smart political and tactical moves.

Maise Williams: "I immediately thought that everybody would hate it; that Arya doesn't deserve it. The hardest thing is in any series is when you build up a villain that's so impossible to defeat and then you defeat them.

That’s been my feeling the last couple seasons, that my character became more peripheral, that they concentrated on others more. That’s fine. It’s the nature of a multi-character show. It was kind of frustrating. As a whole, it’s been overwhelmingly positive and brilliant but I suppose the last couple seasons weren’t my favourite. (...) Last season and this season there were great scenes and then I’d come in and kind of give a weather report at the end of them - “film at 11.” So I thought he was losing his knowledge. If he was such an intelligent man and he had such resources, how come he didn’t know about things? That added to my dismay. It’s now being rectified with getting a great and noble ending. But that was frustrating for a couple seasons." Emilia Clarke on Dany's character shift: “What, what, what, WHAT!? Because it comes out of f*cking nowhere. I’m flabbergasted. Absolutely never saw that coming. (...) It was a f*cking struggle reading the scripts. (...) I read these scripts coming on to two years ago now. When I did, I took a very long walk around London in a daze, not quite knowing how to digest the news. Now, finally, people are going, “Oh, now we understand why this season hit you hard.”
One of the things that made Game of Thrones unique was the intense concern of the actors for the writing of their characters. Dinklage complaining about the crypt comes to mind as well.
Dinklage on Tyrions crypt idea was also telling. His inability to "act" like he was telling the truth that Weiss and Benioff are the "greatest writers" was delicious
GoldenLipstick Me: bawls 😭💔 Just as the fans did... They, the most brilliant and most talented group of actors and actresses I’ve ever seen in my fucking life.... who gave a decade of their lives to these characters, dedicated themselves to the fans who had fallen so in love and/or in hate with them, and for some, sacrificed their entire childhood to become the heart and soul of the masterpiece of show we loved and cared about so much- they deserved SO MUCH MORE. I find myself saddened for them, and the crew, creative teams, etc the most. We are them and they are we, utterly devastated with the outcome and desperate for some sort of closure. We are the ones who have been cheated, who have lost... to such an extent that it almost seems deliberate... and purposeful. The flamboyantly horrid writing of this last season is a knife in the heart for so many of us. While D&D now have everything they want. It literally makes me ill when I think on it. This is such a travesty. RIP Game of Thrones. You died in vain.
Jon Snow's dialogue this season is like a bug in a Mass Effect game that gets stuck on only one dialogue tree for the rest of the game: UR MA KWEEN! AH DUN WAHN ETT! AH WUV EW!
Did the *Lord of Light* bring him back to Yell at a Dragon - while Arya sneaks around it? I’d hate if that’s the case or if he was brought back to take Winterfell 🤷🏽♂️ idk

Coming back to watch this gem. 💎 I feel Mauler’s empathy for Ghost. I have a five year old husky named Dexter, and he’s like my child. I would die for him. I would never just give him away… ever.
Only in the Game of Thrones TV show, the airforce that gets ambushed by a navy. I was also suppressing involuntary laughter when I got to that scene on first viewing. Edit: also, clearly the last season confirms that Stannis is still alive somewhere.
freezysyahz He just means that because they cut away from Brienne killing him, he must be alive since that’s how they kept most characters alive in season 8 - by cutting away to another scene.
Remember Jon saying to Theon "You are a Stark and a Greyjoy" ? Him totally ditching his Stark side by discarding Ghost is a total bull. Nice writing btw
GoT Season 7: The damage is not too bad. As long as the foundations are still strong, the writers can rebuild this place. Season 8: Oof. Now those foundations are gone. Sorry.
14:14 I just imagine Bron arriving at Winterfell with nothing but that huge crossbow. "Excuse me, good soldier. Could you point me to Tyrion and Jaime Lannister? I'd ... like them to sign my crossbow." "Well yes, of course, my good sir. Right this way, please!"
"Is it common to marry your aunt in the North?" Jon's Stark grandpa, Ned's daddy, married his first cousin, the daughter of his uncle. She even had the name Stark before they married. Also, two generations before that two Stark women were married to their Stark uncles to manage a succession crisis. So yeah, it is common to marry your family in the North.
@@sophiawilson8696 oh really? After reading his comment we would never have known.. Unless you recapped what he said in a '6 year old learning letters format. Thank you, for your insight!
Actually Lyarras Grandfather was Rickards Great grandfather so Ned is technically his own father's second cousin. I'm not sure there is a word for the relationship between Lyarra and Rickard. Lyarra and Rickards father were cousins so she would be his second aunt (I don't think that is the correct word but I hope it's understandable what I meant)
In modern terms, Bron would walk right into Buckingham Palace, go straight to the correct room (presumably because guards told him where to go?), all while carrying a sniper rifle or bazooka.
Well, there was one guy that snuck into Buckingham Palace into the Queen's private chamber in the 80s, I believe and had a little chat with the Queen. The scene is still stupid though.
A sniper rifle or bazooka made to be extra powerful and quick-reloading for the king. Well, quick reloading as long as you have that lever. Or not, whatever.
"Since the direwolves are kind of CG creations, we felt it best to keep it as simple as possible" said *_Nutter_* "And I think that it played out much more powerfully that way" This shit can't be real
I legitimately thought when he said "My Sundae/Sunday" the joke was about how the fakeouts were wasting his time (on a Sunday), took a bit to realize the intended pun.
Can we take a moment and ask why, if you were standing 2ft from "your sundae" would you let your sundae swim in the wrong direction or be captured without a fight? Do you not love your icecream? Do we even know if she can swim considering shes was a slave girl from birth? Its almost like she needs to die so greyworm can be pissed off and order his men to slaughter people or... Something... Wait, Ohhhhhhhh.
23:00 "How did you reload so fast" To be fair, that very shot shows that at least three ships have a weapon like that so the proper question is "are they all such increduble shooters? And why do they all aim at the same dragon?"
The expert use of character clips in line with the opinions presented. Tywin for rage and insults, Ned for WTF exasperation, and even Jorah for "this is so ridiculous I'm sad." Tony Stark for I'm smarter than this stupidity, as well... There are others, too. Clips, lol! LMAO A review has more character consistency than this season! lololololololololol
He used a great combination of symbolism a play on words and dare I say visual presentation. To possibly hint at his potential views over Jon and ghosts interaction. Very deep indeed.
Give me chills hearing Tyrion trial and Tyrion threatens cercei “a day would come when you think you are safe and happy and your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, then you will know the debt is payed”.
Tyrion: "I don't imagine thinking about that subject will leave you any happier then before" What a perfect line to describe thinking about Game of Thrones after watching season 8. Doesn't matter how good it used to be. Thinking about it won't make you any happier. It's almost like D&D know season 8 is garbage and can't help make points about it in the character dialogue.
That would have been a much better way to reference the books than what they actually did, which was blatantly rip-off The Lord of the Rings. By the way, does anyone get the sense that D&D are jealous of Peter Jackson and The Lord of the Rings? They kept comparing The Long Night to Helm's Deep, and then in the finale they blatantly copied the whole, "The heroes write the book at the end" that The Lord of the Rings did.
@@matthewmuir8884 What's hilarious is that Jaime's accomplishments as a knight would've been lost as Brienne closed the book without giving the ink a chance to dry. Hah!
@@matthewmuir8884 Peter Jackson set the new bar for cinema high when he released The Lord of the Rings series. It's natural for anything medieval to take inspiration. I get what you're saying but in the past GoT has been running that race to greatness along side LotR. Sadly, Mauler's mauling the lesser of these theatrical pieces.
Ya know what...the ice king touched her..and in the first scene they ever showed him in he turned a live baby into one of the dead in 1 touch..why didn't "the perfect assassin " turn when touched!?!?!?
Arya couldn’t get into Winterfell when she went back for the first time. I believe the guards said “Fuck off!” But Braun walks in and finds Jaime and Tyrion in 2 seconds. Winterfell really does need better guards to quote Arya.

Well Brienne, Jaime, and Sam kind of forgot they were swarmed by zombies who should have killed them about a dozen times over.
Logically Jaime with his left hand would have trouble beating two normal men on his own. These are inhuman beings who are quicker than humans do not tire and also have weapons. And there was like 50 wights for one person. Jaime should have been killed in 5 seconds. And the others as well.

Don't forget the reason why Jon has ghost in the first place is because he was the albino mute runt of the litter. He was the outcast that shouldn't exist. That connection to ghost is much more significant than direwolves being the sigil of the Starks.
He growled audibly in E3. So they even fucked up that one...
Also Jon occasionally wargs into him in the novels, unintentionally of course, as he hasn't been trained
I don't think Ghost was ever meant to be mute in the show. He also howled after Jon 'died' and growled plenty of other times in earlier seasons.
Emblem, not sigil. GRRM has so much nonsense to answer for.
Ghost's howling is what brought John out of his quarters to check on Lord Commander Mormont many seasons ago.

Thank *god* someone mentioned the issue with how the show treated the Direwolves. I've never forgiven the writers for what they did to Grey Wind (Robb's direwolf). In the books, at the Red Wedding, Grey Wind broke out of his 'pen', slaughtered six Frey soldiers to try and get to Robb before eventually being peddled with arrows and dying. He also 'sensed' the Red Wedding and tried to warn Robb (which Caitlyn points out from her POV saying that GW was acting very anxious). THEY ARE GOOD DOGGOS.
I want a wolf doggo ; ;
Out of all the characters in the show, I pity the Direwolves and the Dragons the most. Especially the Direwolves, the goodest of big doggos.

It’s nothing compared to the previous lines about Tysha. Jaime should’ve been hightailing it out of the room the minute her name was brought up (considering they didn’t bring up that plot in Season 4).
The word “Foreshadowing” is starting to piss me off as much as “Subverting Expectations.”

Jeremy Jahns said it best. Foreshadowing isn't character development.
Instead of the bullshit in episode 3 this is *How I would subvert expectations* have the Night King explain to Jon his motives: Being the white walkers awaken during times of crisis and civil war to unite Westeros against a common enemy and restore peace... idk i just wanted a satisfying ending 🤷🏽♂️
@@firstlast9846 That would actually be far superior.
You know you're wrong when you're agreeing with Jeremy Jahns.
D&D "Jon kind'a forgot he is a Stark since his mother is a Stark..."
Don't worry, we're subverting your expectations by making Jon more Targaryen despite being raised fully as a Stark
@Волфсангел What makes it worse is the fact that the previous season he spoke to Theon, telling him that he is 'both Greyjoy, and Stark'. and yet they wrote Jon off as if the knowledge of Targaryen blood overtakes everything about him that is Stark.
He is Stark, he was born a Stark and raised a Stark. But nope, just Targaryen now.

@Волфсангел Robert Baratheon did nothing wrong. He was even right about the HOAR. Lyanna, Rhaegar and Aerys were the ones responsible for the war, unless Lyanna really was kidnapped. B-but Rhaegar was the Silver Prince so he must have been the Perfect Paragon, as opposed to being someone who was obsessed with Prophecy to the point where he 'forgot' he already had a wife and children.
@Волфсангел oh no, agreed. Nobody was honestly 'good' during the Rebellion, and the repercussions of being the way they were tarnished their own names. Eddard with his named soiled for 'sleeping with another person to get Jon', Rhaegar for being a 'thief', Robert for his hate for anything dragon, etc.

There is nothing to it. Give me a green screen and the Wolf/Husky that Ghost is played by and Kit Harirngton and I'd have that shot done after 10 minutes in the editing room.
There is no CGI involved. And getting Ghost to "react" the correct way isn't an issue. Getting a dog to react like it's being petted when it's being petted is surprisingly easy.

-Sansa season 6
I didn't know much about Game of Thrones before seeing this video, and because of that I didn't have much investment in the story. However, I recently decided to start reading the books, and all I can say is what. The. Fuck.
The very first chapter, literally the first taste we get of the story after the prolouge, is about Jon Snow getting his dog. That's how the story starts. That pupper was so important to George that he opened the story with it. It gets worse though.
I assumed that the dire wolf was just a loyal companion to Jon and nothing more, but it's so much more than that. In the book (I haven't seen the show so I don't know what's been changed) there was a whole litter of dire wolf pups, and at first there appeared to be five. Jon convinced his father, lord Stark, to keep the pups because there were three males and two females, the same number of children Stark had born in wedlock. Jon internationally left himself out, saying he was not a true Stark. Demeaning himself so that the doggos had a chance at life.
But then, a sixth pup was found, one that was albino, and unlike the others had already opened its eyes. This was more than just another pup. This was JON'S pup. The albino skin set it apart from the others, and also meant that it had worse chances of surviving on its own. The members of Stark's household looked down on it, but Jon took the dog into his arms, saying "This one belongs to me". Think about that for a second. Just seconds ago, Jon humbled himself so that his siblings of higher birth could have wolves of there own. Then, a special wolf pup appeared, distinct from the others, it's white skin almost mirroring Jon's shameful surname of snow. The book makes it explicitly clear that these two are meant to be together. They have a bond that goes beyond friendship. It was fate that brought them together. Just think about what it must have meant for Jon in that moment. The mere existence of this pup validates him as a child of Ned Stark. It serves as a sign that he is special, and that he survives against all odds. Not to mention that the dire wolf is the symbol of house Stark. This wolf is not just a companion. This wolf IS Jon Snow.
In short, I'm literally only one chapter into the first book, and I can already see ways that the showrunners screwed up the characters beyond repair. Jon would never abandon his wolf, Jon would never leave without saying goodbye, and the writers have shown that they didn't even try to understand the source material. What. The. Fuck.
I never read the books, hell I only got into game of thrones thanks to maulers videos.
Fuck that is an incredible connection that jon had to ghost, and its absolutely wasted. Thank you for the insight. Truly
@@Tripleat117 please donot read the books, I read them and now it's almost 11 years of waiting for the next installment
I came back to this video series after finishing ADWD. It is so fucking jarring. Like, the characters have the same names, but that is where the resemblance stops. Varys becoming an unimportant mouthpiece character is just so shamefully cringeful.
The producers said Ghost was "tricky" to film, so they didn't have him on the show more often. By contrast, dragons are very tame and a pleasure to work with on set.
Artist here, it's about the fur. Still, you could have done that with cropped shots and wolf skin. Less beautiful of a cinematic shot, but amazingly cheap and priceless for story-telling.
THE DOG WAS ALREADY FUCKING RENDERED. D&D are frauds
@@lordz00 I'm not saying that you're wrong or anything, but did you see the budget and the SFX team behind it? They have no excuses, they probably could've rendered ten doggos with no problem.
Could have used a real dog for up close shots. That’s just some excuse for we didn’t feel like it.
I feel a bit silly. I kept watching the video and MauLer made this same point. Still, it shows how much the producers care about the show. Furthermore, I don't suppose getting a more camera friendly white dog is too hard, especially if CGI can be used to touch up the footage.

That’s been my feeling the last couple seasons, that my character became more peripheral, that they concentrated on others more. That’s fine. It’s the nature of a multi-character show. It was kind of frustrating. As a whole, it’s been overwhelmingly positive and brilliant but I suppose the last couple seasons weren’t my favourite. (...) Last season and this season there were great scenes and then I’d come in and kind of give a weather report at the end of them - “film at 11.” So I thought he was losing his knowledge. If he was such an intelligent man and he had such resources, how come he didn’t know about things? That added to my dismay. It’s now being rectified with getting a great and noble ending. But that was frustrating for a couple seasons."

When I did, I took a very long walk around London in a daze, not quite knowing how to digest the news. Now, finally, people are going, “Oh, now we understand why this season hit you hard.”
One of the things that made Game of Thrones unique was the intense concern of the actors for the writing of their characters. Dinklage complaining about the crypt comes to mind as well.

Just as the fans did... They, the most brilliant and most talented group of actors and actresses I’ve ever seen in my fucking life.... who gave a decade of their lives to these characters, dedicated themselves to the fans who had fallen so in love and/or in hate with them, and for some, sacrificed their entire childhood to become the heart and soul of the masterpiece of show we loved and cared about so much- they deserved SO MUCH MORE.
I find myself saddened for them, and the crew, creative teams, etc the most. We are them and they are we, utterly devastated with the outcome and desperate for some sort of closure. We are the ones who have been cheated, who have lost... to such an extent that it almost seems deliberate... and purposeful. The flamboyantly horrid writing of this last season is a knife in the heart for so many of us. While D&D now have everything they want. It literally makes me ill when I think on it. This is such a travesty.

tyrion: "sounds like king material to me"
Jon Snow: (refuses to pet good boi)
MauLer: *So you have chosen death.*
Jon Snow's dialogue this season is like a bug in a Mass Effect game that gets stuck on only one dialogue tree for the rest of the game:
UR MA KWEEN!
AH DUN WAHN ETT!
AH WUV EW!
Don’t forgot “SHE’S YOUR KWEEN”
*Screams at Dragon*
Poor Jon should have just given Dany the D and take one for the team, so many lives may have been spared from Mad Queen Dany in the long run.
Did the *Lord of Light* bring him back to Yell at a Dragon - while Arya sneaks around it? I’d hate if that’s the case or if he was brought back to take Winterfell 🤷🏽♂️ idk
*[Screams stop internally]*
D&D: Mauler kind of forgot he isn't a Game of Thrones channel
He subverted your expectations
lol ok uhhh... it’s treason then?

I love hearing Mauler go back to Jon leaving Ghost, it angered me just as much.
its just so satisfying hearing someone articulate not only the thoughts i had, but thoughts i didnt realize i had. also with pure british bant.
I can already feel Mauler's Episode 5 rage. The hate is that strong!
I predict at least 3 hours
Let the hate flow through you!
Powerfull sith he will become.
@Shanti Sree This is the ultimate tragedy of Game of Thrones... the takedowns are more satisfying and meaningful than the storytelling. Such a shame for what might be the greatest team of assembled creative talent ever put together.

I’d listen to a 3 hour rant on the betrayal of Ghost Doggo. Literally unforgivable. 💔
Jon Snow, err, "Aegon Targaryen" (but not Jaehaerys for some reason??) IS CANCELLED.
I don't even watch it and he had me feeling bad for it lol
That said it sounds like such a train wreck I should start those can be entertaining.
"there is an owl. Shut the fuck up" is still the best ending to any of your episodes lol
Coming back to watch this gem. 💎
I feel Mauler’s empathy for Ghost. I have a five year old husky named Dexter, and he’s like my child. I would die for him. I would never just give him away… ever.
I had a half husky, half German Shepherd with that name. Had to put him down a few years ago. Beautiful dog.
It used to be called "jumping the shark".
Now it shall be called "shooting the dragon".
nah, killing the night king is what set people off on this season.
so killing the night king is what it should be called.
@@ThatDarth To paraphrase Tyrion at the Eyrie, I think of it as 'milking the eel'...
Stabbing Frosty?
The Jumping Stark
Honestly the breaking point was the Zombie Quest from S7
Remember when Jon Snow had more dialogue options than "i don want et", "ur muh queen" and of course *screams at dragon*
That profile name though
Laughs in Khaleesi
i kinda forgot to use my brain
I saw that meme on reddit too
Last Hiro: Bastards Die Twice I miss the Jon who knew nothing... now that he knows shit he’s just lame haha.
So they dropped everybody's IQ points to room temp. Holy fuck the way the ended it pissed me off.
Only in the Game of Thrones TV show, the airforce that gets ambushed by a navy.
I was also suppressing involuntary laughter when I got to that scene on first viewing.
Edit: also, clearly the last season confirms that Stannis is still alive somewhere.
Wait, what was that last part about?
freezysyahz He just means that because they cut away from Brienne killing him, he must be alive since that’s how they kept most characters alive in season 8 - by cutting away to another scene.
Remember Jon saying to Theon "You are a Stark and a Greyjoy" ?
Him totally ditching his Stark side by discarding Ghost is a total bull. Nice writing btw
Korg (from Thor ragnarok) gave a proper description of Jon's departure with Ghost. It goes something like this..."Piss off ghost!"
Where is that? From wakikiki takikitkiti?
That's still my favorite scene in the MCU.
"Hey man, my name is Benioff and that's Weiss. We're gonna write the shit out of the last season.... Wanne come?"
GoT Season 7: The damage is not too bad. As long as the foundations are still strong, the writers can rebuild this place.
Season 8: Oof. Now those foundations are gone. Sorry.
Korg and meek should get a movie. Like a buddy cop film in space.
The way this video is edited is basically the earlier seasons getting pissed off at the last seasons
31:35 His exasperated "Are you fucking with my soul?!" still cracks me up every time
14:14 I just imagine Bron arriving at Winterfell with nothing but that huge crossbow.
"Excuse me, good soldier. Could you point me to Tyrion and Jaime Lannister? I'd ... like them to sign my crossbow."
"Well yes, of course, my good sir. Right this way, please!"
"Is it common to marry your aunt in the North?" Jon's Stark grandpa, Ned's daddy, married his first cousin, the daughter of his uncle. She even had the name Stark before they married. Also, two generations before that two Stark women were married to their Stark uncles to manage a succession crisis. So yeah, it is common to marry your family in the North.
True. Just look at Bradford.
There is Uncle who marry his half niece.
@@sophiawilson8696 oh really? After reading his comment we would never have known.. Unless you recapped what he said in a '6 year old learning letters format. Thank you, for your insight!
Cersei's mother and father were first cousins who were both named Lannister.
Actually Lyarras Grandfather was Rickards Great grandfather so Ned is technically his own father's second cousin. I'm not sure there is a word for the relationship between Lyarra and Rickard. Lyarra and Rickards father were cousins so she would be his second aunt (I don't think that is the correct word but I hope it's understandable what I meant)
Has anyone else watched this more than 10 times?
I will as soon as I finish the first. Barely found this channel and this is a GOLDMINE.
At least 18 for me
I'm guilty
I appreciate you articulating the absolutely caustic horseshit that was the treatment of Ghost and the dragons.
"we're the last of the starks."
*then two episodes later instead of sticking together, everyone decides to part ways.*
great writing, d&d.
In modern terms, Bron would walk right into Buckingham Palace, go straight to the correct room (presumably because guards told him where to go?), all while carrying a sniper rifle or bazooka.
Well, there was one guy that snuck into Buckingham Palace into the Queen's private chamber in the 80s, I believe and had a little chat with the Queen. The scene is still stupid though.
@@akrybion Really? lol
@@jmo2475 Here you go: czcams.com/video/oNzdeBorJmQ/video.html
@@akrybion Thanks man! that is hilarious lol.
A sniper rifle or bazooka made to be extra powerful and quick-reloading for the king. Well, quick reloading as long as you have that lever. Or not, whatever.
"What are we, HUMAN?"
Damn that hurts
Jon so carelessly ditching Ghost broke my heart! I'm glad you kept stressing how stupid that was haha
"Since the direwolves are kind of CG creations, we felt it best to keep it as simple as possible" said *_Nutter_* "And I think that it played out much more powerfully that way"
This shit can't be real
Ethan Micallef the only thing powerful about that scene was my increasing hatred for John 😂🙄 Pet your good boi, you glorified extra!!
@@superkamiguru4615 "you glorified extra" is the best Jon description ever.
Going by the clips the animators knew. Ghost looked pretty sad.
In Mauler's voice: "Well, Nutter, it's obvious that you clearly thought wrong, you absolute ham sandwich."
Ethan Micallef damn you Dave! What you want does not equate to what every longtime viewers wants you MASSIVE!!
"His Sundae" that caught me off guard. XD
Same XD
I legitimately thought when he said "My Sundae/Sunday" the joke was about how the fakeouts were wasting his time (on a Sunday), took a bit to realize the intended pun.
Me sundae
Also my effing sunday
Can we take a moment and ask why, if you were standing 2ft from "your sundae" would you let your sundae swim in the wrong direction or be captured without a fight? Do you not love your icecream? Do we even know if she can swim considering shes was a slave girl from birth? Its almost like she needs to die so greyworm can be pissed off and order his men to slaughter people or... Something... Wait, Ohhhhhhhh.
23:00 "How did you reload so fast"
To be fair, that very shot shows that at least three ships have a weapon like that so the proper question is "are they all such increduble shooters? And why do they all aim at the same dragon?"
The expert use of character clips in line with the opinions presented.
Tywin for rage and insults, Ned for WTF exasperation, and even Jorah for "this is so ridiculous I'm sad." Tony Stark for I'm smarter than this stupidity, as well... There are others, too. Clips, lol!
LMAO
A review has more character consistency than this season!
lololololololololol
and Danys stupid face, leaning in towards Sansa! 😊

So excited for Game of Thrones: S08E05: An Unbridled Rage
Jannis and 6
I wish I could see his live reaction to the final episode that they have tonight. Now that would truly be an *unbridled rage*
Cleganebowl was a fucking draw.
@@mcpsychendork6079 which channel? ☺
McPsychen Dork thanks homie
I'm kinda getting the feeling Mauler didn't like the way Jon treated Ghost.
It was understanded and ambiguous, but yes, I suspect you are right.
I don't understand. I may be slow, but I didn't pick that up at all. Was it in some sort of code?
It was very subtle, so it was easy to miss.
He used a great combination of symbolism a play on words and dare I say visual presentation. To possibly hint at his potential views over Jon and ghosts interaction. Very deep indeed.
Give me chills hearing Tyrion trial and Tyrion threatens cercei “a day would come when you think you are safe and happy and your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, then you will know the debt is payed”.
'Tismic fuckery' im stealing that. Thank you.
That very last moment absolutely slayed me...
*hoot hoot*
"...there's a fucking owl."
*hoot hoot*
"...shut the fuck up."
It was a collared dove lmao.
@@SerKGrimm very cool that you recognized that specifically! Do you work with birds?
@@netizenbane Haha. No. I'm just English and it's an incredibly common bird here.
Just a quick reminder that the Night King changed actors because they wanted someone who could fight with a sword......
😑😑😑
They wanted someone they could pay less.
The first NK was a better actor.
The stuntman they used to play the NK is the same guy who did arthur daynes fight scene at the tower of joy. m.czcams.com/video/5aO_CsqfBAo/video.html
I always prefered the first actor
Are u kidding! The first guy was intimidating, second had a big nose and never unsheathed his sword
I absolutely love the constant reminders of Jon giving up Ghost. I am not over it either.
Tyrion: "I don't imagine thinking about that subject will leave you any happier then before"
What a perfect line to describe thinking about Game of Thrones after watching season 8. Doesn't matter how good it used to be. Thinking about it won't make you any happier. It's almost like D&D know season 8 is garbage and can't help make points about it in the character dialogue.
Well, there's one thing I'm hyped for at least. The Unbridled Rage for the finale two episodes.

😂😂😂😂 i wasnt ready for that one, nearly spit my coffee
I’d forgive Jon allllll those “Yuh are muh queen” for one little “Yuh are muh dawg” to Ghost. 🙌 🐕
Best way they could end this season is just a scene with G.R.R. crumbling up papers swearing and stating:" No, that definitely wouldn't work.."
They should have.
That would have been a much better way to reference the books than what they actually did, which was blatantly rip-off The Lord of the Rings.
By the way, does anyone get the sense that D&D are jealous of Peter Jackson and The Lord of the Rings? They kept comparing The Long Night to Helm's Deep, and then in the finale they blatantly copied the whole, "The heroes write the book at the end" that The Lord of the Rings did.
@@matthewmuir8884 What's hilarious is that Jaime's accomplishments as a knight would've been lost as Brienne closed the book without giving the ink a chance to dry. Hah!
@@matthewmuir8884 Peter Jackson set the new bar for cinema high when he released The Lord of the Rings series. It's natural for anything medieval to take inspiration. I get what you're saying but in the past GoT has been running that race to greatness along side LotR. Sadly, Mauler's mauling the lesser of these theatrical pieces.
Krafterr4 Check out Glidus in addition to these, he's charming at wrecking the season as well
"...please return to browsing Amazon's chair collection." Priceless.
😂😂😂
Ya know what...the ice king touched her..and in the first scene they ever showed him in he turned a live baby into one of the dead in 1 touch..why didn't "the perfect assassin " turn when touched!?!?!?
Arya couldn’t get into Winterfell when she went back for the first time. I believe the guards said “Fuck off!” But Braun walks in and finds Jaime and Tyrion in 2 seconds. Winterfell really does need better guards to quote Arya.
