That moment you realise Melisandre arriving was unexpected and so the fire araks were a bonus. Meaning they were originally going to charge with the fire-less versions, even blinder and less effective. End me. Edit: I can see a lot of people want coverage for episode 4, what I can tell you is that I have already began working on a season 8 recap in total and it will hopefully release soon after the last episode does...stay tuned folks, it's gonna be long....*sigh*
And hilariously they didnt even give them proper weapons to counter the dead. Yeah........ Hilarious. I guess they were clearly expecting Melisandre to warp in and do her magic, except they werent. *facepalm*
Not *less* effective, *completely* ineffective. They weren't made of Valyrian steel. They were sending the Dothraki to their 100% certain death and contribution to the army of the undead. And not one of the Dothraki paused for a second and thought, "Wait a minute..."
all I want is a show to be smarter than me. I'm not a scholar I only have a passing knowledge of midlevel siege tactics and battle tactics. I'm sure there's plenty of books that have accounts of battles to draw inspiration from. Christ a decent rts game will teach you not to attack the front lines with cavalry.
Lady Bladebinder certainly going to kill Cersei. Don’t know about her killing the mountain though. I imagine they’ll make the hound fight him so all the bar reactions can see “cleganebowl”
No amount of plot armour would save Sean Bean you could have him covered head to toe in plot armour even then somehow Sean Bean dies. No but really seriously no one important died I mean come on even Ser Davos survives and he was on the fucking wall last I checked.
@JoeRingo118 they've been hinting at it since season 1. He traded Joffrey's face for Stannis, and from Stannis moved on to Brienne. He will reveal his true identity after he kills Cersei using Jaime's face. These show writers are utterly brilliant!
They were extras who were scheduled to he on the walking dead, but they got lost and were searching the library for an Atlas Map book so they can figure out how to get to thr right set.
LordOfThePizzaPie the fun part about that is, that there is actually a bunch of hints that the boar was warged by bloodraven (at least in the book). So indirectly, the boar might actually be a villain in the book
The boar killed King Robert, but the Night King killed Eunuch Theon. But in GoT lore, Eunuchs make the best fighters... and siblings are the best lovers!
That wouldn't work wedge is a man. It needs to be wedgina. There fixed it and made it woke for 2020. God I hope disney doesnt see my post. They probably would think its a good idea and make remake jedi.
They already did. A scavenger girl killed the most powerful Sith in the Galaxy ,who can destroy space fleet by lighting, by just crossing two stolen lightssabers.... And yes, Ep9 is remake of Ep 6.
I actually think they still could have had Arya kill the NK - IF they did it correctly. If we saw what Dan and Dave promised: "A showdown between Jon and the NK is coming. One more intense than Hardhome, more intense than Beyond the Wall. It's going to shock the fans" If we saw Jon, Briene, Jamie, Jorah or anyone with Valerian Steel fight and kill the WW's and then Jon went 1v1 vs the NK- I can totally see the NK winning that fight and kicking Jon's ass, but before the NK can kill Jon- he's saved from Arya. It's a payoff that would have more worthy than the one that we got.
Devin Daily they could do anything if it was written with a modicum of thought lol. Tyrion could’ve killed the Night King if they bothered trying to write it
Well, it's like if Darth Vader had chocked to death on a peanut allergy and Jabba was the main boss, above the Emperor... "Nemesis a worthy is ones proof of nobility."
@@Hys868 dude she was hiding like on top of them dude like she has training dude like its battlefield so they cant hear her dude stop hating dude staaaaahp
Okay so, let me get this straight: -they have a castle -they put their troops outside of the castle while defending the castle They ignored the entire point of why castles exist.
Honestly, this is just a live adaptation of a noob defending against the Vampire Counts with Norsca in Total War: Warhammer. This is exactly what NOT to do in a siege battle.
Antonio Sonntag even better the zombies aren’t gonna shoot back and they’re dumb so they could’ve easily funneled them into a choke point but no they had to keep their entire army outside the castle walls for some reason.
Tbh when I watch the episode on my phone, its so dark and pitch black, I didn't see anything after the cavalry charge. And the screen only brightens when the dragons appear but 60% of the time are pitch black
Genuinely, i didnt hate this episode. It was easily the best of the season on that score alone I throw in the shots you could actually see since it was TOO FUCKIN DARK
Cartoon Critique I remember watching the earlier seasons, loving the main plot but always looking forward to the Nights Watch segments, and always thinking that the white walkers would build and build and eventually become the main focus, and season 7 teased that they would be, so disappointing how it turned out :/
and pretty much her entire screen time for the last season was basically her standing around looking stern. i'd be pissed if i was Lena Heady, they screwed her over
That was my reaction when he showed the two scenes with Jon side by side to show how different the backdrop was, except they were so dark I couldn't see a thing.
visuals were shittttttt if i wanted to watch a few lights in the dark i would type Nice Fire work desplay on youtube. everything was shitttttt..even that sound effacts or lack of. all shittttt
@@whitecreamymilk8436 in all fairness, it was heavy calvary doing the charge and they had a literal angel on their side (Gandalf). though they could have done a better job showing that the light he used actually hurt them, not just made them recoil. broke up the spear/pike wall at least.
@@DoubleGlock45 i realize that. But again it was also said this army was specifically made to kill cav. And they set up the pikes and never moved them. Also the horse bridge scene was bad. I dont think he knew how cav worked. I say this and i actually liked twin towers more then return of the king. It was a great battle the cav tactics still sucked. I liked the warg tactics earlier on though. I thought it actually worked. But cav in the seige didnt imo.
I am a tactical enthusiast, I did had a god damned stroke watching this episode. I actually screamed out loud. Only someone who knows medieval tactics could do this much wrong. They had to know what to do right, and do the opposite.
No one needed to come over. No extra armies. No dragons. Everyone needed to kill the white walkers were already there. Jon snow left winterfell for no reason - they didn't even need dragon glass!!! All they needed was bran, arya and the fucking dagger. The end
Why did they even go that far north of the wall to get a wight to show Cersei and Daenarys? Take some low life criminal on death row and kill him on the other side of the wall. Anyone that dies north of the wall turns into a wight at that point in the show. If they did this then NK doesn’t kill any dragons and wall is never breached. They would have to build ships or cross the bridge of skulls at westwatch-by-the-bridge. Also why are the heavily armored knights of the vale not on horseback? I’m sure heavily armored lancer cavalry would do much better in a charge than the Dothraki would with kopesh swords and some horse archers here and there.
@@highchiefvercingetorix6586 True, but unlike here MATN uses his archers on the walls first then has his cavalry flank and not rush heavy infantry at the start of the battle.
Do you not think that the white walkers have any brains at all, and would siege the unsullied/dothraki/whatever inside winterfell until they all starve?
Spear/shieldwalls outside of the walls can be useful (especially when the enemy has no firepower) because it buys your archers on the walls more time to shoot at the enemy, though clearly nobody on the wall was taking advantage of this anyway
Allan Mulrian and I can win a siege battle without losing a single man because I don’t do that. I meant the AI knows it should keep its men inside the castle, not that to fight the AI you should.
Tbh ASoIaF still uses plot armor. Samwell should have died at the Fist, or at White Tree, or Crasters, and Jon should have died in the Skirling Pass. Its also never an important character that dies to happenstance, except maybe Khal Drogo and the infected wound.
"This episode was super dark." "Well it had better be, seeing as how it's the decisive battle with the White Walkers and the Night King. I'd imagine a lot of important people were going to die." "No, I mean I couldn't see shit. Only like two people died lol."
It should have.... hes immune to fire anyway. Because Targarien and shit. Great way for him to kill the frigin dragon. Just walk into the flame and stick the sword into its mouth. But naaaah we can't have epic moments for our White males. Only little girls can be epic. Because that is progressive or something like that.
I just realised that the undead dragon blows a massive hole in Winterfell's huge stone wall in one shot, and then later it can't kill Jon with it's fire because he's hiding behind a tiny little stone. LOL.
The reason for that is because the undead dragon is badly injured by the time it goes after Jon. You can see a couple of shots of it as it tries firing but the blue fire isn't coming out properly. It's not a plot hole, it's just not very clear because it's so dark it's nearly impossible to see anything...
You have to at least admire Maisie Williams for beng honest and vocal about her disappoinment, even though she was excited to do the scene, but she knew it was stupid and bad writing. Even someone as young and inexprienced as Maisie could see what hacks D&D were at writing.
Shes not even that young or inexperienced she's an adult with adult opinions and this is the worst writing in the world it's not that hard to notice how terrible it is. Especially if you're part of it
"Also, make sure the flame-throwing trebuchets go in FRONT, outside the walls, so they will be overrun." "Seriously, do NOT put them inside the castle walls where they would keep being useful until the walls were breached."
@@@kikima258 They don't understand how walls work, period. Houses still have walls for the same reason: so you'll know where people could come into the house. You don't sleep in a sleeping bag under just a roof, do you? If it isn't surrounded by walls you're a hobo and will be robbed by the other hobos. Conglaturations!

Sacrificing an entire story arc, absolutely destroying character arcs and throwing 7 seasons of buildup out the window for a subversive "you go girl" moment. Disgraceful.
@@Kazserah yeah Arya killed all the family members of the house that DESTROYED her house, a plot she deserved to bring to a closure, what more did they want from her to be the superman of the series destroying every bad guy, this was a disaster
I'm pissed about everything, but the destruction of Sam's story arc pisses me off the most. What happened to the years of him gaining courage, learning how to fight despite his fear, and becoming a man who's willing to fight and die to protect his family and friends? Now he's just a big coward baby bawling in the middle of the chaos who's too insignificant for the enemy to even bother to kill.
I wasn't for a “you go girl” it was because, and I am using the words of D&D here “Jon killing the Night king was too predictable”. This reminds me of a quote I don't know where it is from “when you write your Story, so it ends up that the butcher did, but the readers figure it out before you finish the Story, so you rewrite it as the butler did it instead, you just end up ruining your own story”.
When you realize that the Night King could have just kept sending blizzards for a week or two and forced Jon and co to either abandon the castle to avoid a large chunk of the army from freezing to death/deserting, or forced Jon's army into marching from the castle to fight him at a location of the Night Kings choosing. Sun Tzu's The Art of War 101.
He didn't even need to send blizzards, he could have just done a traditional siege and starved the defenders out. Whitewalkers are perfect for conducting a siege. They don't need to be fed or paid, they don't get demoralized from long campaigns away from home, and they don't die off from disease.
we didnt even see a winter. Stannis' men froze to death but the night king who "brings the cold storm" didnt even do sheeeeeett. not one person froze to death in the "LONG WINTER" because it all happened in ONE fruckingggg night. WTFFF
What infuriates me is that a large story in an omnibus handles an undead invasion like this a million times better than a multi-million dollar show. Gotrek and Felix, while set in the Warhammer Fantasy world with vastly different magic systems and technology (mostly renaissance stuff for the main human faction) still understands the very basics of this kind of this shit, AND actually dives into some nuances of how a siege like this would go. This shouldn't have been a one-episode thing. Winterfell is a massive fortress with countless defenders and some of the most brilliant minds in the setting. This should have been a long, drawn out siege of attrition, where the Night King is sending wave after wave of his minions against the walls of a fortress that the defenders have spent weeks preparing. It should have been a series of brutal, violent battles where the defenders spent day after day throwing back countless waves of wights, fighting to the brink of exhaustion while the dragons wear themselves to the bone trying to burn as many of the wights as possible. The defenders employ every defensive tactic under the sun: oil, spike traps, spear walls, holding key choke points. Everything. But the wights just keep on coming. Each character would get their moment to shine contributing to the defense while trying to work under the pressure of the fate of the world on their shoulders. But nope.
@@Aredel The night king could and should have just starved and freeze them. He has all the time in the world. Every dead defender will be a new zombie. So it's a matter of time, a week max. 5 minutes of this ridiculous siege was way too long, let alone 45.
@@ronhoek69 The problem is that Winterfell had been preparing for that kind of situation for months. They have the granaries and wood stocks to wait out a siege for years if needed. Massive blizzards wouldn't take their toll for a while.
@@tygerskull Make Pepper Potts kill Thanos halfway through Infinity War and Captain Marvel lead the avengers to victory against Hydra during Eng Game and we're getting close.

Yeah she was one of the actresses who actually read the books and dived as deep as she could into it. She learned how to sword fight left handed because the character in the books was left handed. Now she is ambidextrous because of it and actually helped form the idea of that double edged staff Gendry forges for her that can be broken and dual wielded. Now only if D+D could’ve had the same attention to detail as Maisie did. You knew they were dumbass fucks when all they cared about in season 7 was getting a zombie polar bear somehow into an episode. The only thing they did right was read the books before another producer did.

Good work. Now whats the verb for a show that jumps the shark in a Mary Sueish/ SJWish/ poorly written fashion? "My favorite franchise just got 'Reyed' and the goddamned Transformers are dead to me now." Idk
@@SlyScyther Yes he was. He was built up as infinitely complex - as Mauler said, TRANSCENDING G human characteristics. That was his entire arc. He is the embodiment of death, turned into a subpar human villain.
@@Arcessitor he never transcended human characteristics. The white walkers showed themselves to be sadistic and mocking. The night King smiles after surviving the dragon fire. Very human reaction. The threat they represent goes beyond thrones, but does not transcend human nature. Death is not complex
It's like chess, you always start by opening up your queen and sending it to the opposite side of the board to kill all the pawns, without protecting or being protected by any other pieces.
Maybe if they had obsidian tipped arrow volleys instead of investing in fortifications and variety of fighters, the dead wouldn't be able to reach Winterfell's walls.
@Grumpy Avocado Why, back in my day, our cavalry couldn't see two feet in front of them. Because if you have absolutely no lighting that will make your show look good.
Mauler if you ever see this, I just want you to know, I come back and rewatch all 3 of these videos as a coping mechanism for the world's worst ending to a fantastic show, thank you for making these. They've slowly repaired my soul after it was shattered into smaller pieces that Arya shattered the night king.
*Opens video* "WTF! Have you guys done" Me: *Sits back in serenity* "Good, Mauler good......................kill them............ kill them now." It is the unbridled way
I don't understand why everyone is so upset with Jon screaming at the dragon. He hid, he thought it was looking the other way, and then he popped out and got caught dead to rights, what the hell else was he gonna do?
@@DrRockso1987 No, Jon had already hidden and ran from the dragon a few times. He was sure he would become undead if he lost the battle. He didn't know about Arya and her plan. So, he thought it was all on him, and when he got caught dead to rights he screamed in anger because he was sure death had won and he had failed the entire world.
@@eds6755 You dont understand how stupid it is? There is either 2 logical fucking options to commit to. You either stab the fucking dragon in its head before it breathes fire at you, or you fucking run. In what world are you living in that screaming at the dragon is actually a fucking idea. Screaming in anger does not fucking help, unless your purpose is to fucking die. Screaming at monsters is a FUCKING comedy trope, its not meant to be FUCKING TAKEN SERIOUSLY
newLEGACY boy more like palpatine tripping down the stairs and breaking his neck in the end of the second episode. Like saurons tower breaking down bcs he got something in his eye.

DamienDarksideBlog read the books. Even though they’re not finished (yet!) I promise you they have virtually nothing in common with this piss poor imitation
@@DamienDarksideBlog I'm glad for you too, just imagine this. Huge villain that is neglected by everyone but the Night's Watch until the end, is shown to be almost unstoppable, episode before the big fight is pure dialogue and sadness and everyone saying everyone is going to die. Then the fight happens and 2 characters die and the entirety of the enemy force is destroyed and the symbolism the whole show was trying to push (throne not important, it's life vs death) is destroyed with them. Btw this was built up over 9 years...
They had TWO fire-breathing dragons AND a fire-witch Melisandre AND an army of archers AND trebuchets with fire projectiles sitting above high fortifications that can ALL deploy mass fire at distance that solves both the darkness problem but more importantly is the enemy's EXACT weakness. The humans had every perfect counter to the undead army in the history of the world yet somehow they got spanked until Deus Ex Machina kills the night-king. Yes it subverted my expectations. I expected the episode to be at least competent.
Even as someone who doesn't personally like Game Of Thrones, I just feel absolutely horrible for all the fans... The amount of passion and structure that went into this video as well as the next two is just mind-blowing to me. The fans, hell even the cast deserved so much better. I remember being vaguely aware of the audience pushback towards the end of GOT's run on HBO, but these in depth videos on why fans are so pissed never fail to leave me with my mouth hanging open. What D&D did to the 8th season is up there with Rian Johnson's decisions in directing in the Last Jedi from a pure character assassination standpoint. And this is just the episode where it started to go downhill, its fucking nothing compared to how much they dropped the ball in the next episodes following this. D&D's decision to speed through and wrap up this final season as quickly as possible so they could bug out and work on Star Wars was fucking absurd. I honestly can't believe HBO just allowed them to get away with ending the series like that considering how massive a show it was for them, and the tons of material and plot glossed over that probably could have kept the show going for another full season or two.
The Night is unsatisfying and full of fans that will make excuses for this episode till they call you Nazi. Dumdum dada dumdum. Only drunks in Burlington Bar will love this regardless of it making no sense as the feels and visuals and themes. Pretty colours glug glug.
Now that the initial rage and bewilderment has faded, and I've completed the 7 stages of grief, I come back to this video whenever I need a good laugh. This 30 minute video made in like one day after the episode has more thought and critical thinking put into it than a multi million dollar production run by two neanderthals with hundreds of people behind them. These breakdowns give the final episodes all the respect they deserve, which is none. Love this shit.
31:25 - "The Dothraki and Unsullied have been wiped from the show. Then again, I'm sure they will be fully re-stocked next episode...." holy shit you weren't kidding. Perfect prediction.
Not to mention in the final episode, the Unsullied seem to have a force larger than the one that they started with back when Dany first acquired them from the slavers. Since they are eunuchs, maybe they replicate via mitosis?
Seasons 1-4: "When you play the game of thrones you either win or you die!" Seasons 5-8: "When you play the game of thrones you either win, die, or get constantly, conveniently deus-ex-machina'd by David Benioff and Dan Weiss." This episode saddened me deeply.
@@danield11711 whats sad is seasons 5-7 does have sparsely brilliant episodes within them. I still love Battle of the Bastards, Oberyn getting murdered by the Mountain, and Hardhome remains one of my favorite TV episodes ever. But the level of quality writing from these seasons is egregiously inconsistent. And I dont like being a hater, but I'm calling a spade a spade here. I havent even read the books but I'm thinking about doing so now.
@Kratos the battle of the bastards was shit too. The battle made no sense with similar bad tactics and plot holes as the long night. Then you have basically everything sansa did involving that battle and it was just a joke.
This is probably my 5th time watching this since it was uploaded. Mauler's rage and his way with words never gets old to me. The only thing that makes me sad about revisiting these videos about (probably) the greatest disappointment in television history - the ONLY thing that makes me sad, is that Mauler hasn't made his conclusion video yet.
The worst part of this whole ordeal is that this episode is not even the last nail in the coffin. There were still 3 episodes left before the show completely died.
Not five minute in and this is already the most incompetent game of Total War Warhammer I've ever seen. It seems they forgot which side of the map they were on and set their units up *backwards* .
That's not all they put there artillery right in the front so when the cavalry dies the artillery may deal enough close range damage to end them only to run out of ammo at the last second. The fucking Greenskins are better strategists than these people cause at least when they charge they are smart enough to ensure that some "sneaky git" is going to be right behind and ruin you and they are smart enough to launch squigs at you. At least they put their artillery right behind some big boyz.
I've never seen Game of Thrones, but goddamn is it fun watching fans of this show talk shit about this final season. I've never seen a fanbase turn on something so quickly before.
Think about this, Maisie Williams is part of the show since the first episode. Probably hasn't written much in her life, but even she read it and said immediately, "This is shit!". Tells you everything how the actors are listened to at this show...
B MC Back when episode one (season 8) was released Kit said he didn't care what the critics think they could f themselves because they all worked hard on the show. My husband said to me after I told him what I read "Oh no. This season is going to be bad if an actor is saying stuff like that."
John is literally a neutral NPC with four lines of dialogue. Its like the player went afk and the series/game kept playing while he was away. "shes muah queeeen" "i dunt wannit" and staring blankly for all his dialogue options.

I have been waiting so long to see how that bitch Cersei would deal with the 'real' villain she's been mocking all this time.. but now she can just laugh off the most menacing and highly anticipated foe of the whole entire fucking tv show. Now I just wished I read the books and never seen this show.
maisie williams is actually a very good actor and she has some great integrity. Remember the stupid bravos chase scene where the waif chases arya and arya manages to effectively run despite being stabbed? Well it shows a few establishing shots of her struggling while the stitches tear apart yes? That was her. Because david and dan actually wanted arya to be fucking FREE RUNNING and parkouring using backflips with zero shots of her struggling. It had to take Maisie to say "no, my character would not be doing that, show me injured" Obviously, this time, such a fuck up of immense proportions is beyond a single actors input

Gotta give Maisie credit even she knew it was stupid. I remember she said something similar when Arya got stabbed in the stomach and then proceeded to run through Bravoss
Maisie and her BF made a complete laughing stock out of these retards running this shit. That's just embarrassing. Sounds a LOT like Mark Hamill begging Disney to not be completely mentally ill.
Deadset absolutely brilliant commentary but God daym they literally made the material for this episode so comedic even without the hilarious commentary I was is wild disbelief what I was watching to a put I couldn't stop laughing it's so bad it's funny is true. Also loved the episode 5 unbridled rage that was just a masterpiece of character assassinations.
@Luke So true. I haven't felt this violated since The Last Jedi. But this is worse. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan, but ASOIAF was my favorite work of fiction and up until they ran out of source material, the show was my favorite show. I can't believe they destroyed 8 years of intrigue in a single episode. I've never seen a shark-jumping moment like this before. Considering the stakes and the fallout, this may be the single worst episode of television of all time.
They've had a few good additions to the show that havent been in the books as i undestand it. They seem to be decent with dialogue(mostly). Storytelling tho, last half of the the show feels like someone took on too many responsibilities so everything turns out half baked or gets completely neglected.
There is no team of writers for the show, it's only Benioff and Weiss. Yes really, they are actually that stupid and egotistic that they do all the writing for the entire show. Lesson of the story: the people in charge are often complete incompetent morons, see also: The Last Jedi
She is actually quite competent in that regard. She also leveled complaint at the directors in the chase scene with the waif, where she was running away wounded and thanks ro her, they toned it down. Imagine what crazy shit she'd do in thaz episode if she hadn't said anything lol. If anything, I really hope people only hate the directors but praise Williams. She did a good job, given the shit she had to work with.
@@peffiSC2source Sadly, the actors often get flack for the things writers and directors decide to do. See Anakin Skywalker for a perfect example. The actor isn't exactly the greatest thing ever but if you see him in other movies, he's alright. In most of Star Wars he's trash but that's not his fault. The writing was bad and Lucas is a terrible director.
@@peffiSC2source Honestly, if I was an actor I would take it as a compliment because it means you played your part so well people think it was actually real.

Well, actually the witch killed him. The cut wouldn't have killed him, but the witch intentionally poisened the cut while pretending to healing it. She admited it later to Dany while she was explaining why she hated him.
Mister Dundie no, it's very specifically pointed out that Khal Drogo undoes everything Mirri Maz Durr attempts and then shoved dirt in the wound. In the show she outright confesses to killing drogo
Anyone else immensely put off by the destruction of Sam's character? The first one to slay a Thegn, brags for seasons afterward, researches how to kill wights, has a family and friends to defend- turns tail and runs, cries, almost dies 4 times when all of that actually matters finally. Oh, he's the scared shitless character from season 1? Good, didn't want any character arcs or anything.
I'd honestly have preferred him to bolt it to the Crypts when they fell back. He's come a long way in the series in many regards, accepting that he'll never be a fighter wouldn't diminish his character development at all honestly. Being a little bitch for the entire battle and still somehow surviving does.
@@The_Rage_Kage Yeah, being distraught and afraid is completely valid, just not as his only expressed feeling. Even make him seem brave and then break down, something more than 1 note. Ed's death should have catalyzed his courage.
@Garett Crook Haha no argument there, they completely flubbed any Bran V Night King lore and left him just watching the entire battle from his chair and being cryptic for nothing.
@@Moothead2 Yeah that would have made more sense, having them keep him on the front lines yet Tyrion in the crypt made no sense to me. Battle-tried tactician that wants to be out there is denied, thegn killing braggart that is shitting himself and running is forced to stay out. I'm not against Sam being afraid or running, even being killed, but to have basically zero fight in him after building up his courage for seasons felt like they forgot all the writing for him. Hell, it would have been a great scene to see him try and be utterly annihilated, just to prove the point that death doesn't care for heroics.

That moment you realise Melisandre arriving was unexpected and so the fire araks were a bonus. Meaning they were originally going to charge with the fire-less versions, even blinder and less effective.
End me.
Edit: I can see a lot of people want coverage for episode 4, what I can tell you is that I have already began working on a season 8 recap in total and it will hopefully release soon after the last episode does...stay tuned folks, it's gonna be long....*sigh*
And hilariously they didnt even give them proper weapons to counter the dead. Yeah........ Hilarious. I guess they were clearly expecting Melisandre to warp in and do her magic, except they werent. *facepalm*
I heard horses do great when you run them into a wall of darkness.
Not *less* effective, *completely* ineffective. They weren't made of Valyrian steel. They were sending the Dothraki to their 100% certain death and contribution to the army of the undead. And not one of the Dothraki paused for a second and thought, "Wait a minute..."

The plot armour in the episode was so thick, that even Sean Bean would've survived.
Probably.
No amount of plot armour would save Sean Bean you could have him covered head to toe in plot armour even then somehow Sean Bean dies. No but really seriously no one important died I mean come on even Ser Davos survives and he was on the fucking wall last I checked.

@JoeRingo118 they've been hinting at it since season 1. He traded Joffrey's face for Stannis, and from Stannis moved on to Brienne. He will reveal his true identity after he kills Cersei using Jaime's face. These show writers are utterly brilliant!

LordOfThePizzaPie the fun part about that is, that there is actually a bunch of hints that the boar was warged by bloodraven (at least in the book). So indirectly, the boar might actually be a villain in the book
The boar killed King Robert, but the Night King killed Eunuch Theon. But in GoT lore, Eunuchs make the best fighters... and siblings are the best lovers!

I watched NK die, and my head was in my hands.
Makes you think what could have been...
I actually think they still could have had Arya kill the NK - IF they did it correctly.
If we saw what Dan and Dave promised: "A showdown between Jon and the NK is coming. One more intense than Hardhome, more intense than Beyond the Wall. It's going to shock the fans"
If we saw Jon, Briene, Jamie, Jorah or anyone with Valerian Steel fight and kill the WW's and then Jon went 1v1 vs the NK- I can totally see the NK winning that fight and kicking Jon's ass, but before the NK can kill Jon- he's saved from Arya.
It's a payoff that would have more worthy than the one that we got.
Devin Daily they could do anything if it was written with a modicum of thought lol. Tyrion could’ve killed the Night King if they bothered trying to write it

They ignored the entire point of why castles exist.

Oh welll... she plays the Mad Queen...right? *Right?*
Totally disrespected Deanerys. I'm so mad
Why did they even go that far north of the wall to get a wight to show Cersei and Daenarys? Take some low life criminal on death row and kill him on the other side of the wall. Anyone that dies north of the wall turns into a wight at that point in the show. If they did this then NK doesn’t kill any dragons and wall is never breached. They would have to build ships or cross the bridge of skulls at westwatch-by-the-bridge. Also why are the heavily armored knights of the vale not on horseback? I’m sure heavily armored lancer cavalry would do much better in a charge than the Dothraki would with kopesh swords and some horse archers here and there.
But they respawned a few episodes later, so it's fine.

Even Total War AI isn’t this dumb.
ThomasRichardHaroldson manyatruenerd only does sally battles in total war
@@highchiefvercingetorix6586 True, but unlike here MATN uses his archers on the walls first then has his cavalry flank and not rush heavy infantry at the start of the battle.
Do you not think that the white walkers have any brains at all, and would siege the unsullied/dothraki/whatever inside winterfell until they all starve?
Spear/shieldwalls outside of the walls can be useful (especially when the enemy has no firepower) because it buys your archers on the walls more time to shoot at the enemy, though clearly nobody on the wall was taking advantage of this anyway
Allan Mulrian and I can win a siege battle without losing a single man because I don’t do that. I meant the AI knows it should keep its men inside the castle, not that to fight the AI you should.
It is downright embarrassing that a show would go from famous for averting plot armor to infamous for excessive use of it.
Tbh ASoIaF still uses plot armor. Samwell should have died at the Fist, or at White Tree, or Crasters, and Jon should have died in the Skirling Pass. Its also never an important character that dies to happenstance, except maybe Khal Drogo and the infected wound.

LOL.
SerMattzio He literally mentioned that in the video.
You should watch the video. There's that and more.
The reason for that is because the undead dragon is badly injured by the time it goes after Jon. You can see a couple of shots of it as it tries firing but the blue fire isn't coming out properly.

"Madness. Madness and stupidity" - Tywin fooking Lannister
When you realize that the Night King could have just kept sending blizzards for a week or two and forced Jon and co to either abandon the castle to avoid a large chunk of the army from freezing to death/deserting, or forced Jon's army into marching from the castle to fight him at a location of the Night Kings choosing. Sun Tzu's The Art of War 101.
He didn't even need to send blizzards, he could have just done a traditional siege and starved the defenders out. Whitewalkers are perfect for conducting a siege. They don't need to be fed or paid, they don't get demoralized from long campaigns away from home, and they don't die off from disease.
we didnt even see a winter. Stannis' men froze to death but the night king who "brings the cold storm" didnt even do sheeeeeett.
not one person froze to death in the "LONG WINTER" because it all happened in ONE fruckingggg night. WTFFF
What infuriates me is that a large story in an omnibus handles an undead invasion like this a million times better than a multi-million dollar show. Gotrek and Felix, while set in the Warhammer Fantasy world with vastly different magic systems and technology (mostly renaissance stuff for the main human faction) still understands the very basics of this kind of this shit, AND actually dives into some nuances of how a siege like this would go. This shouldn't have been a one-episode thing. Winterfell is a massive fortress with countless defenders and some of the most brilliant minds in the setting. This should have been a long, drawn out siege of attrition, where the Night King is sending wave after wave of his minions against the walls of a fortress that the defenders have spent weeks preparing. It should have been a series of brutal, violent battles where the defenders spent day after day throwing back countless waves of wights, fighting to the brink of exhaustion while the dragons wear themselves to the bone trying to burn as many of the wights as possible. The defenders employ every defensive tactic under the sun: oil, spike traps, spear walls, holding key choke points. Everything. But the wights just keep on coming. Each character would get their moment to shine contributing to the defense while trying to work under the pressure of the fate of the world on their shoulders. But nope.
@@Aredel The night king could and should have just starved and freeze them. He has all the time in the world. Every dead defender will be a new zombie. So it's a matter of time, a week max.

But the Night King was never built up as complex.
@@SlyScyther Yes he was. He was built up as infinitely complex - as Mauler said, TRANSCENDING G human characteristics. That was his entire arc. He is the embodiment of death, turned into a subpar human villain.

@@Arcessitor he never transcended human characteristics. The white walkers showed themselves to be sadistic and mocking. The night King smiles after surviving the dragon fire. Very human reaction.

Mauler if you ever see this, I just want you to know, I come back and rewatch all 3 of these videos as a coping mechanism for the world's worst ending to a fantastic show, thank you for making these. They've slowly repaired my soul after it was shattered into smaller pieces that Arya shattered the night king.

It is the unbridled way
Jon’s scream wasn’t at the dragon it was at the idiot writers and the fact that he wasted almost a decade on this show.
I don't understand why everyone is so upset with Jon screaming at the dragon. He hid, he thought it was looking the other way, and then he popped out and got caught dead to rights, what the hell else was he gonna do?
Ed S - Run away?
@@eds6755 Seriously? WRONG!!!
He screamed at the dragon out of complete frustration not because they were playing hide and seek
@@DrRockso1987 No, Jon had already hidden and ran from the dragon a few times. He was sure he would become undead if he lost the battle. He didn't know about Arya and her plan. So, he thought it was all on him, and when he got caught dead to rights he screamed in anger because he was sure death had won and he had failed the entire world.
@@eds6755 You dont understand how stupid it is? There is either 2 logical fucking options to commit to. You either stab the fucking dragon in its head before it breathes fire at you, or you fucking run. In what world are you living in that screaming at the dragon is actually a fucking idea. Screaming in anger does not fucking help, unless your purpose is to fucking die. Screaming at monsters is a FUCKING comedy trope, its not meant to be FUCKING TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Arya Stark killing Night King is like Han Solo defeating Vader with a blaster shot
And then Return of the Jedi is about who becomes president of the new republic.
And not even shoot first
Luigi Nastro Nah it’s like Ginny Weasley killing Voldemort in part 1 of the 7th movie just as he was about to get the elder wand.
newLEGACY boy its like r2d2 killing vader by causing his suit to short circuit
newLEGACY boy more like palpatine tripping down the stairs and breaking his neck in the end of the second episode.
Like saurons tower breaking down bcs he got something in his eye.
Like the shark in jaws beaching itself before killing anybody.
Like smaug dying bcs he was bathed in gold.
Like the one piece being an old swimsuit with skidmarks inside.
Like baywatch with fat, flat chested trans women running around with their cocks out.
Like that princess killing buwsur rendering super mario a useless turd jumper.
I loved the start of this episode. "What the fuck have you guys done?" Haven't laughed this hard in awhile. Sums up my feelings for Season 8.

DamienDarksideBlog read the books. Even though they’re not finished (yet!) I promise you they have virtually nothing in common with this piss poor imitation
Buraku They'll never be finished though, so why bother?
MATIAS DIGUARDI PUYAL have faith man, we’ll get a win eventually
@@DamienDarksideBlog I'm glad for you too, just imagine this. Huge villain that is neglected by everyone but the Night's Watch until the end, is shown to be almost unstoppable, episode before the big fight is pure dialogue and sadness and everyone saying everyone is going to die. Then the fight happens and 2 characters die and the entirety of the enemy force is destroyed and the symbolism the whole show was trying to push (throne not important, it's life vs death) is destroyed with them. Btw this was built up over 9 years...
They had TWO fire-breathing dragons AND a fire-witch Melisandre AND an army of archers AND trebuchets with fire projectiles sitting above high fortifications that can ALL deploy mass fire at distance that solves both the darkness problem but more importantly is the enemy's EXACT weakness. The humans had every perfect counter to the undead army in the history of the world yet somehow they got spanked until Deus Ex Machina kills the night-king. Yes it subverted my expectations. I expected the episode to be at least competent.
Even as someone who doesn't personally like Game Of Thrones, I just feel absolutely horrible for all the fans... The amount of passion and structure that went into this video as well as the next two is just mind-blowing to me. The fans, hell even the cast deserved so much better. I remember being vaguely aware of the audience pushback towards the end of GOT's run on HBO, but these in depth videos on why fans are so pissed never fail to leave me with my mouth hanging open. What D&D did to the 8th season is up there with Rian Johnson's decisions in directing in the Last Jedi from a pure character assassination standpoint. And this is just the episode where it started to go downhill, its fucking nothing compared to how much they dropped the ball in the next episodes following this. D&D's decision to speed through and wrap up this final season as quickly as possible so they could bug out and work on Star Wars was fucking absurd. I honestly can't believe HBO just allowed them to get away with ending the series like that considering how massive a show it was for them, and the tons of material and plot glossed over that probably could have kept the show going for another full season or two.
For me the show died in the arse after season 5

That episode was too dark and full of shit
Now that the initial rage and bewilderment has faded, and I've completed the 7 stages of grief, I come back to this video whenever I need a good laugh. This 30 minute video made in like one day after the episode has more thought and critical thinking put into it than a multi million dollar production run by two neanderthals with hundreds of people behind them. These breakdowns give the final episodes all the respect they deserve, which is none. Love this shit.

31:25 - "The Dothraki and Unsullied have been wiped from the show. Then again, I'm sure they will be fully re-stocked next episode...." holy shit you weren't kidding. Perfect prediction.
exactly! haha
those extra 50% of the unsullied+dothraki forces would've been useful in the battle (or perhaps not)
Not to mention in the final episode, the Unsullied seem to have a force larger than the one that they started with back when Dany first acquired them from the slavers. Since they are eunuchs, maybe they replicate via mitosis?
this aged well

Seasons 5-8: "When you play the game of thrones you either win, die, or get constantly, conveniently deus-ex-machina'd by David Benioff and Dan Weiss."
This episode saddened me deeply.
So true. After season 4 the shows writing when down the shitter.
@@danield11711 whats sad is seasons 5-7 does have sparsely brilliant episodes within them. I still love Battle of the Bastards, Oberyn getting murdered by the Mountain, and Hardhome remains one of my favorite TV episodes ever. But the level of quality writing from these seasons is egregiously inconsistent. And I dont like being a hater, but I'm calling a spade a spade here. I havent even read the books but I'm thinking about doing so now.
@@BiggestMikey Obberyn died in season 4 as did Tywin.
@Kratos the battle of the bastards was shit too. The battle made no sense with similar bad tactics and plot holes as the long night. Then you have basically everything sansa did involving that battle and it was just a joke.
ickyfist What are the plot holes in that battle?
This is probably my 5th time watching this since it was uploaded. Mauler's rage and his way with words never gets old to me.
The only thing that makes me sad about revisiting these videos about (probably) the greatest disappointment in television history - the ONLY thing that makes me sad, is that Mauler hasn't made his conclusion video yet.
The worst part of this whole ordeal is that this episode is not even the last nail in the coffin. There were still 3 episodes left before the show completely died.
Not five minute in and this is already the most incompetent game of Total War Warhammer I've ever seen. It seems they forgot which side of the map they were on and set their units up *backwards* .
That's truly terrible.... Total War AI AT LEAST keeps it's units behind the wall lmao
No joke I'm playing the Vampire Counts right now out of anger just to see a competent undead army wipe the living off the fucking face of theearth.
@БДЯЄTH Just to be clear, are you being sarcastic?
This does have my consent! By Sigmar and the Hammer!
That's not all they put there artillery right in the front so when the cavalry dies the artillery may deal enough close range damage to end them only to run out of ammo at the last second. The fucking Greenskins are better strategists than these people cause at least when they charge they are smart enough to ensure that some "sneaky git" is going to be right behind and ruin you and they are smart enough to launch squigs at you. At least they put their artillery right behind some big boyz.

Think about this, Maisie Williams is part of the show since the first episode. Probably hasn't written much in her life, but even she read it and said immediately, "This is shit!". Tells you everything how the actors are listened to at this show...
Reminds me of Hamill and Ruin Johnson... oh wait!!
I can imagine Kit being absolutely furious after reading Jon's role in this "battle"
B MC Back when episode one (season 8) was released Kit said he didn't care what the critics think they could f themselves because they all worked hard on the show. My husband said to me after I told him what I read "Oh no. This season is going to be bad if an actor is saying stuff like that."
@@b2themc Kit said in the same interveiw that, he thought it would've been him, "But I Like it."

Lol that quote from Masie and her boyfriend, even the cast knew Dumb & Dumber shat the bed.
maisie williams is actually a very good actor and she has some great integrity.
Remember the stupid bravos chase scene where the waif chases arya and arya manages to effectively run despite being stabbed? Well it shows a few establishing shots of her struggling while the stitches tear apart yes?
That was her.
Because david and dan actually wanted arya to be fucking FREE RUNNING and parkouring using backflips with zero shots of her struggling. It had to take Maisie to say "no, my character would not be doing that, show me injured"
Obviously, this time, such a fuck up of immense proportions is beyond a single actors input

@Luke So true. I haven't felt this violated since The Last Jedi. But this is worse. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan, but ASOIAF was my favorite work of fiction and up until they ran out of source material, the show was my favorite show. I can't believe they destroyed 8 years of intrigue in a single episode. I've never seen a shark-jumping moment like this before. Considering the stakes and the fallout, this may be the single worst episode of television of all time.
I've always knew that D&D are bad writers/producer, but never suspected that they will be "Rian Johnson type of bad".
Wasn't Rian Johnsons praising this episode? I'm sure D&D are friends of his.
And they were given their own Star Wars Trilogy.
@@spunkush David benioff wrote xmen origins wolverine. No further explanation needed.
@Guitardudeling holy shit!! These guys are REALLY bad.
Both of them, including Ruin Johnson couldn't write their way out of a wet paper bag.
They've had a few good additions to the show that havent been in the books as i undestand it. They seem to be decent with dialogue(mostly). Storytelling tho, last half of the the show feels like someone took on too many responsibilities so everything turns out half baked or gets completely neglected.
The only effective armor in this episode is plot armor.
This is, hands down, one of the best yt videos of all time.
Ok this episode was horrible but relax
> mfw Maisie Williams and her boyfriend understand fundamental narrative structure better than the entire writing team and producers
There is no team of writers for the show, it's only Benioff and Weiss. Yes really, they are actually that stupid and egotistic that they do all the writing for the entire show. Lesson of the story: the people in charge are often complete incompetent morons, see also: The Last Jedi
She is actually quite competent in that regard. She also leveled complaint at the directors in the chase scene with the waif, where she was running away wounded and thanks ro her, they toned it down. Imagine what crazy shit she'd do in thaz episode if she hadn't said anything lol.
If anything, I really hope people only hate the directors but praise Williams. She did a good job, given the shit she had to work with.
@@peffiSC2source Sadly, the actors often get flack for the things writers and directors decide to do. See Anakin Skywalker for a perfect example. The actor isn't exactly the greatest thing ever but if you see him in other movies, he's alright. In most of Star Wars he's trash but that's not his fault. The writing was bad and Lucas is a terrible director.
@@RenegadeVile The actor of Joffrey was literally threatened on the streets. People are fucking stupid sometimes.

Arya killing the night king is like Farimir throwing the ring into mount doom while Frodo sat at the base of the mount shouting at one of the fell beasts
I came here every once in a while, it’s just so satisfying to hear someone yells at the most stupidest episode I’ve ever seen.
Remember when Khal Drogo died from an infected cut?
lmao.. damn that's a good example of an important difference between the old and the new. Realism was actually earnestly attempted back then haha
Well, actually the witch killed him. The cut wouldn't have killed him, but the witch intentionally poisened the cut while pretending to healing it. She admited it later to Dany while she was explaining why she hated him.
@@KotsarisGR as I remember the witch killed him in the book but it's uncertainly in the show.
Mister Dundie no, it's very specifically pointed out that Khal Drogo undoes everything Mirri Maz Durr attempts and then shoved dirt in the wound.
In the show she outright confesses to killing drogo
The slave kills him in both the book and the show. Once the show got completely off book it became pretty shit.
Anyone else immensely put off by the destruction of Sam's character? The first one to slay a Thegn, brags for seasons afterward, researches how to kill wights, has a family and friends to defend- turns tail and runs, cries, almost dies 4 times when all of that actually matters finally. Oh, he's the scared shitless character from season 1? Good, didn't want any character arcs or anything.
I'd honestly have preferred him to bolt it to the Crypts when they fell back. He's come a long way in the series in many regards, accepting that he'll never be a fighter wouldn't diminish his character development at all honestly. Being a little bitch for the entire battle and still somehow surviving does.
I don't mind him crying and being visibly terrified during all the events but I really wish he had avenged Ed instead of running away.
@@The_Rage_Kage Yeah, being distraught and afraid is completely valid, just not as his only expressed feeling. Even make him seem brave and then break down, something more than 1 note. Ed's death should have catalyzed his courage.
@Garett Crook Haha no argument there, they completely flubbed any Bran V Night King lore and left him just watching the entire battle from his chair and being cryptic for nothing.
@@Moothead2 Yeah that would have made more sense, having them keep him on the front lines yet Tyrion in the crypt made no sense to me. Battle-tried tactician that wants to be out there is denied, thegn killing braggart that is shitting himself and running is forced to stay out. I'm not against Sam being afraid or running, even being killed, but to have basically zero fight in him after building up his courage for seasons felt like they forgot all the writing for him. Hell, it would have been a great scene to see him try and be utterly annihilated, just to prove the point that death doesn't care for heroics.
24:57 If you look REALLY hard, you'll notice that the night king's icy stab wound starts forming even before the dagger hits him XD
