Littlefinger Is probably the single best player in the Game of Thrones. He’s indirectly led to the downfall of at least 3 major houses and has advanced his station at every opportunity. In this video we’re going to do an analysis on what it is that he does that makes him win and how deviating from his strategy may lead him to the end of his winning streak.
2 caveats. First spoilers through season 6 and some speculation into season 7. And two, don’t do the things little finger does. It’s fun to analyze Littlefinger manipulations and learn how you can avoid them in your own life - Sansa Stark would benefit for certain - just don’t be a liar and backstabber. It’s not cool.
Let’s begin - Game of Thrones is all about power. Some people, like Cersei, use their position to command others. Or people like the Mountain who literally just dominate through brute force.
But in the long run, it’s those who wield power more subtly who excel at the game. And perhaps no one is more subtle the Petyr Baelish. He is the ultimate power player in the game because he gets other people to do what he wants, without them even knowing he’s influenced them
01:10 Littlefinger got the power subtly and not by force in Game of Thrones
07:53 Cersei Lannister is opposite of Petyr Baelish in terms of subtlety

Chaos isn't a pit.
Chaos is a ladddah.
Kane Howard You mean, chaos is a laddah XD
I was considering saying "Laddah", instead of "Ladder" xD Gotta love his accent..
Kane Howard ladddah
those british and their wacky accents XD.. and i know he's actually an irishman trying to imitate a westerosi which imitate the english
Kane Howard you say it as though your the first man to have this idea
Baelish: "I can see so much of her in you. She was like a sister to me."
Baelish: In the Lannister sense lol
or the Targaryen
Lmaooo
The student became the master.
C H not exactly; the targaryens wedded their siblings out of familial devotion, to keep the bloodline’s dragon-ness ‘pure’. Cersei and Jaime genuinely loved each other in the partner-y, romantic sense
Baelish is the Shisui Uchiha of Game of Thrones, he can control his political opponents without them knowing it, like Kotoamatsukami...
Littlefinger: I was killed by Bullshit writing. As if I'd die like that.
The Night King: Hold my iced tea.
Daenerys....hold my Starbucks
@@dabbyabby8428 Dothraki... Hold my horses... (somehow still doesn't die after dying)
I disagree. While I think it could have been executed better, I believe that Arya was a brilliant choice because she was a trained assassin and that The Night King had no way of seeing her coming because he was not aware of her existence.
the writing just requires some intellect to understand. most fans have none.
@@welcometohell5233 I 100% agree with this.
I found the plot that lead to his death very undeserving of such a character.
Malafakka It's because they have no more books to quote. They are exposed, their incompetence bare and naked.
Zack Fair I wouldn't say that they are incompetent, just that they might not to be able to match Martin's skills at creating intriguing and interwoven plots. We shouldn't also forget that Martin takes years to create such plots and the show writers have just one year. I don't mean it as an excuse, just an explanation.
hes not dead
He died because he trusted Sansa.
SegalEyE not in our hearts, no 😔💔
Little Finger is the kind of character that you wanna hate for being so nasty but you end up loving for his amazingness
Mercedes Gil Yes
His nastiness resulted in the death of Joffrey and Ramsay. He has probably killed more big-time hated bad guys than anyone else.
TooInaproriate Exactly! And that is why he is so freaking amazing... to him applies the saying: "the end justifies the means"
Fanboys tend to forget that Jon Snow is alive because of him. I have a bad feeling that GoT will take a good vs evil turn.
I'm scared he'll die... He is one of the best characters there are.
He is PATIENT. He isn't about immediate results. He knows how time works and that's powerful and rare.
When a guy makes a patently irrelevant comment that is thought wise only by idiots to whom the sentiment is not already obvious.
Miyankochan time can be short was well 😵does he have time for patience
yet he was not patient in dealing with his own death sentence haha, just like when Cersei mocking him *power is power*
True.
@@dandx67895 I know I am late but he died basically due to someone having a supernatural power.
I don't understand why people wanted Littlefinger dead. He was a fantastic character. S7 GOT has suffered with him out of the picture.
do u think little finger is actually dead?
He died because he trusted Sansa.
How has GOT suffered without him there he's been dead like 4 episodes before the end of the 7th season. And there are plenty of other great characters to keep the show going 😂😃😂🤣
Because we don't need anymore of a snake character to whittle down the cast and houses, considering the focus now is the march of the whitewalkers and the night king down south. The matryoshkas' worth of conflicts, politics, and interactions that story arc may cntain is enough. Petyr has done enough whittling of folks through his schemes.
The world will go on without him, clever and foolish as he was.
It's a shame they screwed up the character in season 7. It was not a decent move. They did everything for the "show".
For he would never, ever take into consideration a gifted kid who can witness past events and know the truth about him, if it were not for that, surely he would still be in the game, soon he lost to the impossible, unimaginable.
Who forgot that he was only unmasked because of Bran?
"dont be little finger, its not cool to be a liar or a backstabber."
me: *prints out littlefingers face life size*
"My guess is that some combination of Sansa, Arya, and Jon will finish him off". ON POINT dude
Molecular Matt If only he remember the superhuman cripple
Almost! A combination of Sansa, Arya, and Bran.
That was one of the worst mistakes the writers made
@Cool Dude 9mb6Text you copy will automatically show here2z1
Hacker bran
You were right about Little Finger. He made Sansa way too knowledgeable. Deviated from his winning strategy.
He had it on the nail. And even then, Sansa might not have had the deed done were it not for Bran... the literal Game of Thrones Kryptonite to any serious player. Sansa had Littlefinger killed for what he did to their father. Outside of the vision of Godhood, there's no way they'd have pieced that together.
His tragic weakness, his love for the Catelyn l, and through that her daughter. His undoing was his compassion for another. Perhaps the only other he had compassion for.(If he had any left for Catelyn after Catelyn threatened to kill him)
I think this move has a lot to do with the 48 Laws of Power. He violated two laws here: Law 19 know who you're dealing with don't offend the wrong person and Law 2 never put too much trust in friends learn how to use enemies. I think he was too confident in himself and underestimated Sansa, her motives and feelings. He assumed she was still a vulnerable little girl like how she was in King's Landing. She grew up and got smart.
It doesnt have anything to do with that because the character could write that damn book. He was literally the definitive expert at both of those "laws" in the show. He violated rule 49. never fall in love it ruins the other 48 rules
Rule number 50, you dont break some of the rules to gaining power and money only, and you have no happiness.
Please do a video about Olena Tyrell/ the queen of thorns because she is the only person apart from Tyrion who can stand up to Tywin, plus she killed jeofrey
Exactmy she can stand up to herself infront of anyone!
And she made Cersei very uncomfortabke whenever she was around her
everyone tried to stand up to Tywin, but noone could stand in the end, except for the dwarf, which is a kind of ironic, because that was the only time Tywin was shi**ing himself.
It's clear now, he is the perfect ruler that Niccolo Machiavelli was talking about :) the one who prefers results more than his pride or his ego, and what's most important - the one who understands that in order to obtain and stay in power, you have to let go of the so called moral code and focus 100% on your main goal.
True , kill my ego focus on my goal 💪💪💪
I felt he had plenty of ego
@@davidrabbit8868 Specially because all he did was because of his ego. He wanted revenge on everyone who looked down on him.
@@davidrabbit8868 YES but he never let his ego get in the way of a good plan
@Lockjaw noice.
Littlefinger's strenght is probably Tyrion's weakness. Both are very good at manipulating and persuading but, while Baelish doesn't mind not being recognized as the genius he is, Tyrion can't stand that (as shown during his "confession" at the trial)
The main difference is generally that Baelish doesn't mind. At all.
He loved Cat. He's infatuated with Sansa. But either way, I do not believe he would ever show remorse if she ended up dead. He doesn't care for when he's complimented, he doesn't care for when he's insulted.
He just keeps playing.
Tyrion constantly wants attention, approval, and being recognized as a genius, but he doesn't like compliments either. He hates himself for being a dwarf, he has some serious self-image problems. Mostly due to his father, of course.
But when it all falls together, he can be flung out of the game due to his ego, be it positive or negative.
I wouldn't be surprised if Littlefinger has absolutely no feelings towards Sansa, she's just very valuable piece for Baelish to play with
Littlefinger is finally dead. Arya sliced his throat open! did u see?
Stupidest death. The master manipulator who concocted the greatest scheme Westeros has ever seen never thought of the possibility of Sansa turning on him... It's even worst after his whole speech about thinking of every possible outcome for every possible situation in order to never be caught off guard.
+Antonio Rella
Littlefinger was a master manipulator in King's Landing. Where men and women betray each other for power. Where he had all the knowledge in his palms through his brothels.
Not in the North or the Vale . The Northmen and the Knights of the Vale value honour and loyalty above all (with notable exceptions like the Smalljon, who btw was an honourable character in the books, and Harald Karstark who were both siding with Ramsay for practical reasons-Harald felt that Rob, and by extension, the Starks had betrayed him by executing Lord Rickard Karstark, and Smalljon needed the Bolton men to help defend against the Free Folk raids). Littlefinger was out of his element in the North. He couldn't whisper honey-coated words in the ears of Yohn Royce or Robett Glover. He couldn't bribe or cheat his way to knowledge in the North. Failing to see that he was out of his element was Baelish's biggest mistake.
Moreover, even if Baelish had anticipated the Northern Lords and somehow managed to win them over, there's one thing he could literally have never seen coming : Three-Eyed-Raven Bran. Baelish was rattled by Bran's "Chaos is a Ladder " retort, but he didn't tuck tail and run because he was a practical man. He didn't believe in magic. That was Baelish's biggest flaw. He could never outsmart Bran, not when Bran knows of every single thing he did.
TL;DR Littlefinger, clever as he was, could never have predicted Bran's abilities. And all his scheming was unraveled by Bran's greensight. That was his downfall.
Dude your prediction at the end was so on point! And this is the best interpretation of Littlefinger I've heard to date, congrats!
~ Thanks for the kind words Ekin!
@@jobowisheshewasnomo4171 He escaped genius. Just look for an explenation on you tube, there are few that explain that Petyr survived and that his death was faked all along.
@@Charismaoncommand Bro, the season 7 script had already leaked by the time you posted this video. Stop the charade.
Minus Jon's involvement, plus Bran's.
Watch "How Littlefinger FAKED his Death" on youtube. I won't be surprised if he fooled them all and escaped death, he is too smart to die just like that.
His "chaos is a ladder" speech is one of the best I've ever heard, and it makes to much sense when you really think about it. Chaos is a ladder, it only gets more chaotic as you climb higher and higher...
You can thrive in and benefit from other people's chaos but as soon as it's your own you Are most likely going down
Me throughout majority of all the seasons:
*"What on earth does LittleFinger want??"*
It seems only Varys knew what LittleFinger wanted
"he would see this country burn if he could be king of the ashes" :D
EVERYTHING
He wants people to wonder what he wants
Script X He doesn't just want the throne, what Varys couldn't figure out actually, because he is only worried on protecting the people
He wanted the iron throne
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Petyr Baelish avoids this corruption by avoiding the source of power, but staying close enough to bath in its benefits. 'You can identify the most powerful man in the room easily, but the smartest? You have to look to the source of the power for that. The powerful man may speak the most, but who does he look at the most? This look is important, it is a pursuit of validation. This look will be directed towards the smartest man in the room. The snake in the grass.' Petyr Baelish is that man. This is why he succeeds to the degree he does. Excellent video as always Charlie.
Is this a quote from him? If so, which episode?
Akala references this in his song Absolute Power but it is actually a quote from a renowned historian John Dalberg-Acton who famously said,
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.
60 Second Success The same applies to Tywin.
Except he isn't a snake. He's a lion.
*bathe
Now do Varys!!! Please..
yeah
Yeah!
pretty much the same but with a peaceful ideology behind it. thats why they are even they think alike but with other goals
Varys is my 3rd favorite character in GoT... Guess who are my top 2?? One hint, Jon Snow is number 4....
Cool TA one is Tyrion, 2 is... Uhm, Littlefinger? Idk
Littlefinger is alive, he was smarter than all of them. Do you remember about the little game he used to play to know about one's motives. He applied it on Sansa and assumed that she wanted him dead. Do you remember when bran says to him that "Chaos is a ladder". That was the time littlefinger understood that his time was up. You must have seen littlefinger talking to a woman when arya was stalking him. If you look closely, you'll notice littlefinger giving the woman a silver coin which was indeed the coin arya used to get to braavos. If I got this right then that woman was a faceless woman. She became littlefinger and died while littlefinger fled.
It makes sense because kneeling and crying doesn't sound like LF at all!!!
@@sophiegriffin8351 exactly.
how do you know that the woman is a faceless woman?
@@hypnooh I don't. That's why its called a theory, mate. You have to assume something at some point. And there's a chance its true and a chance that its not. Also that scene is the focus on which the whole theory revolves just because they left it unexplained.
I don't thnk so, because at this point of time in the series (when only 6 episodes has left to guide the story to a decisive end) no space has left for the things that littlefinger is known for (lies, treachery, manipuation etc.). At this stage in the story there is no point in keeping this character alive....do you think he'll go and talk or negotiate with night king. After the end of season 7, more or less the entire westeros has got polarized in two teams (unlike during the early phases of the series when there were multiple kingdoms each with their own ambitions and insecurities) and hence no space has left for a character like littlefinger to operate.
You totally predicted his end. His weakness was Sansa, he taught her too much, revealed his hand, and she got wise to him (although Bran filled in a lot of blanks).
I think selling her to the Boltons already revealed his motives. Petyr should have wed her to Lysa's son, or he should have wedded her after murdering Lysa. Sansa fell in love with Baelish.
But she didn’t get wise, she had no reason to kill him and he never would of done that if the show didn’t ruin him
Bran “plot hole fixer” Stark
@@ashaadarin3934 she had like every reason to kill him 💀
@@amaxwiththefacts he didn't need Sansa to control Robin. He had Robin from the beginning
*does what Littlefinger does*
Clearly you don't, because Littlefinger wouldn't announce his intentions.
quantumperception why do you think I put it in bold? That's signaling an action, nothing verbal
What action are you doing that Littlefinger does? Creeping on preteen girls a third of your age? Getting your throat slit? Don't get me wrong, I like the way his mind works, but his actions were not exactly wise in a few key moments, and his results leave me wondering why you would emulate his actions.
Also, I was mainly kidding. If we had been conversing in person, I would have said it with a wry smile, so as to indicate that I was doing a bit. Perhaps i should have winked *winks* . And just because I can admit his flaws does not mean that I don't recognize his strengths, or that I don't like him as a character. My brother teases me that I always root for the bad guy, but I choose to see it as having an affinity for anti-heroes and those operating in the grey areas/shadows. I call them Raistlin types, because that was the first time I remember consciously loving a character that clearly was not classically "good". Littlefinger and Raistlin share many traits, now that I think on it, which is probably why I also like Littlefinger (though that doesn't blind me to his creepy obsessions or strategic flaws). Anyway, feel free to actually answer the questions I asked about how you were acting like Littlefinger, or just disregard them- I was just joshing/busting balls.
Did what Shittlefinger did
quantumperception always keep your foes confused
Every pro gets killed sometimes by a noob ;(
by a cheater, a cheater of course
I agree with your statement for what it is, but I don't think Sansa or Arya are noobs
Littlefinger isn't dead.
He is still alive, only died on that bad fanfic that a lot of people love.
He is alive brlieve me hr faked his death.. Watch the fantheory by neo
Speaker: "Don't do the things Littlefinger does."
Me: Wants to do exactly the things Littlefinger does 😂😂🤣
In the books he made it from a little Lord from the fingers to the master of the coin, lord of harrenhal, lord paramount of the trident, lord protector of the vale and I think he is a better player in the books as example that he really controls the three kettleback brothers or how he beat the lords of the declaration
Lord Baelish is a sith lord. All evidence points to it.
Execute Lorder 66
Ax9 Not at all, siths are very direct with their intentions
Just like when Palpatine informed the Council that he intended to see the overthrow of the Republic and the destruction of the Jedi Order.
No,he is a Dreadlord.
He has the high ground.
Do a video on this guy called Charisma on Command and analyze how he is able to make people trust his analyses.
Gabi Paczolay Lol that was good.
He solidified himself when he predicted trumps win so confidently and early.
A horse could've predicted his win, considering everyone knew the DNC would choose Hillary Clinton and she's unelectable. People are sick of presidential dynasties.
Everyone and their goldfish said that Clinton would win the election until election day,
That's absolutely untrue. Only Clinton supporters thought she was going to win.
Please do a charisma breakdown on Cersei!
what charisma does she have to breakdown?? she's a bull in a china shop, thats why I love her lol
There's nothing spacial about Cersei
Or her lack of charisma, which results in her being a weaker player in the game than she realizes
randomflashbacks Cersei is smart for one reason. She never allowed others to provoke her enough to leave King’s Landing. When Tywin told her he wanted her to marry Loris she refused and set up a plan to have him killed so she wouldn’t have to leave. Even when Tommen asked her if she’d like to go back to Casterly Rock she refused and stayed there. By always staying near the seat of power she has kept herself alive to where she could outlive almost all her enemies including: Rob Baratheon, Ned Stark, Rob Stark, Stannis Baratheon, The Greyjoy King, Renly Baratheon, the High Septon (who also got her out of the Red Keep for a while but made the mistake of letting her go back before her trial), Margery Tyrell, Olena Tyrell, Elia Martell and so many more. She’s made it this far by keeping close to the seat of power. Now let’s see if she can make it past Danyreas Targarean.
+octoberboiy
Eh?
No she doesn't and no she's not.
She's the biggest fool of all the major players in the novels. She's clearly not a player, for starters.
She's been made to look like one in the series because fan-fiction and feminist agenda.
Teachers: You never learn do you?
Me: I'm a slow learner but I learn
Do Tywin Lannister. He was one of the most powerful men alive during his time and a very skilled player of the Game Of Thrones.
Niccolo Parker yes but he failed on being a father, and that was the thing that led House Lannister to its downfall. Ironically, Tyrion is the only man left who can save House Lannister from destruction, i mean he pretty much secured his position as Lord of Casterly Rock when Daenerys appointed him as Hand
True he was a horrible father. However he wasn,t really the main cause of House Lannister Downfall. He may have contributed a bit by not knowing some things about his children, but most of the blame would fall to Cersei and Joffery. He did indirectly and to a degree directly(Tyrion trial) contributed to the House fall with his awful parenting skills, but wasn,t the main cause of it. Although you do make a good point and I respect your opinion I just partly disagree with it.
Tbh, Cersei (and in turn Joffrey) turned out the way she did due to his bad parenting skills. So yes, Tywin is to blame.
Niccolo Parker tywin - beard = putin
*Exactly how little could that finger possibly be?*
Ac1dG0d Custom Doom mod mapper
His death satisfy me.
Ac1dG0d Custom Doom mod mapper he should be called (Middle finger)
He is from the fingers and small of stature
There is a theory saying he's still alive (and I believe so) because its making sense
Littlepenis
The mockingbird. Fits him perfectly! Never aggressive nor killing anyone... yet he plans for others to lead themselves to their own demise. He's a planner. A trapper. Scavenger. A player at the top of his grind. Much respect.
“Sometimes when I’m trying to understand a person’s motives, I play a little game. I assume the worst.” Littlefinger completely misread Sanza, never realizing what she was capable of. It cost him his life.
hes dead BECAUSE of sansa, BECAUSE he opened up to her and told her his desire. damn. that little mistake he did cost him his life.
He's dead because the show runners have new projects and have to quickly finish the show. Game of Thrones stopped being Game of Thrones after season 4.
hes not dead i would bet all ii own on it, and i have evidence to that fact, reply if u want to know
Season 7 isnt cannon as far as Im concerned
Jason Blesing agreed it was fanfic. How's the Tyrell stronghold falling in what seems like a few hours
@@Ripthejack3r I'm interested...?
A video on Tywin would be cool!
Gokia Not really... He doesn't lead/rule with charisma, he relies on bullying, belittling and intimidation.
Boobalopbop That is true, but that doesnt change the fact that he was the most powerful man in Westeros before his death. Even with his intimidation and bullying he came a long way.
Boobalopbop that's = charisma
Gokia didnt he already do a segment on tywinn in the power video?
Tywin Lannister, the Machiavelli of Westeros, but Varys would be more interesting as far a being a master manipulator goes
*What we all failed to realize was that bran is the one who played the game without letting anyone know that he was playing the game*
What has he done? I dont remember
Neither the viewers knew
10:00 Yeah, there's a lot of power in this contrast, Littlefinger is able to withstand the pain at short term to get the big long term goal. A lot of times we make our future situations worse for ourselves by becoming narrow minded and not coldly considering what will happens next, after we, let's say, start a fight or argument with someone.
Tywin Lannister, please. The machiavelli of westeros
The Order of the Green Hand made a nice series on him, with this very title.
edi I know, that series is the reason I call Tywin the machiavelli. I just think it would be interesting to see an analysis of tywin from a charisma perspective.
Silvio Silvia Lima I totally agree. It woud be a new perspective on such a great character.
Silvio Silvia Lima The order of the Green hand did that exact video series, with that title. Every thing they do is supported by the books. Check them out, I think you'll enjoy it! have a great day Love QOT.🌹
Silvio Silvia Lima I think Littlefinger is even more Machiavellish than Tywin, Tywin looks more like the Prince that Machiavelli talks about in his book
Please do Tywin, that was Power walking in two feet
Littlefinger started playing the game before he was fostered with the Turllys. His target was Cat. To become lord of Riverrun he only had to Marry Cat then Kill Edmure. But Cat married Ned. That spoiled his game so he played the game of money. That was until Sansa became the most priced Trophy even Robert planned to marry her to Jofferythinking he was his Son. Littlefinger made sure it never happened. Then Varys messed up his game and Sana marries Tyrion. Now Littlefinger plots tokill Tyrion so he can Marry Sansa. Then Jaime and Varys helped Tyrion escape. So right now there are 3 people in the way of Littlefinger, Edmure, Tyrion and the pregnant frey girl.
Littlefinger also had Lysa that helped him in many of his upcomings. So instead of manipulating Cat, he manipulated Lysa instead. Without Lysa, I don't think Baelish would have reached very far. He knocked her up on a daily, so she knocked him with opportunities from her rich husband.
Sometimes, you have to bone to get that throne.
In the books it was littlefinger who married sansa to tyrion
Yes but no, he ended up loving Cat, that was he’s biggest weakness. The fact of being emotionally stable made him quick enough to be three steps forward, but when you start showing sensitivity, it all goes down a hill
You are wrong. Varys and olenna planned sansa's marriage to lord lores. Littlefinger told tywin about it. He told tywin to Marry Sansa to Tyrion so he can use Tyrion as a puppet to kill joffrey and create chaos in kings landing.
I don't remember if they mention that in the show, but in the books Littlefinger explains how he planted the seed to make Olenna want to kill Joffrey by spreading rumors in Renly's camp about Joffrey. She thinks she wants to kill him on her own will, but really Littlefinger made her do it, she was his pawn.
Little finger left the game
But it needed two kids with superpowers to beat him

The real little finger would of jumped tail back to the vale after Bran said that to him (not linger around for ages)
Thank you for repeating that the book LF is different than the show's LF. I can't believe the show LF would actually give Sansa away to the Boltons, the book LF will never do so.
When Sansa confronted Little Finger about leaving her with Ramsay Bolton, I was sure she’d take his tongue (and maybe his hands/fingers so he couldn’t write). She needed his army but couldn’t trust his loyalty, but the man is powerless without the ability to communicate. I really thought there would be a true GoT poetic justice moment where we’d get to see Little Finger become a pawn in the game
I'm a slow learner
But I learn
She didn’t learn, DND just told her the answer
Do a video about Putin. There is some kind of dominant energy around him that makes you fear and respect the man.
The same way like Tywin Lannister shines dominance out of him.
suncu91 no, he's a domineering power hungry Machiavellian. He has that dominant energy because he is ruthless and unethical, you don't want to be like that. And even if you did, people don't like to be around a person who will cast them aside for personal gain.
Ian M i don't want to be like Littlefinger or Hitler either. that does not change the fact that we should study them.
suncu91 yehh do putin please coz i'll be puttin likes when u do
Something about Putin just screams "alpha" i may not agree with him but i would love an examination if his behavior.
suncu91 The thing is Putin isn't doing anything particularly unique from other politicians besides speak Russian. It's simply his reputation and image that is doing it all for him, and a simple attitude of assertiveness. How much do you really know about Putin beyond what the media has portrayed? At this point the only thing we should know according to CNN is that he's a Sith Lord. So our subconscious is automatically crafting his aura for him, rather than anything objective.
I'd love to see you do more videos about Littlefinger. He is such an intriguing character, and you can learn so much from him. Both what to do and what signs to look for in others, so you avoid falling for manipulations.
I really love how you point out BOTH the good AND the bad qualities in people, and why what they do works! ^^
Rewatching his videos in this time that GOT is finished. He's really good at predicting just from analyzing peoples behaviors and skills. Tyrion, Sansa, Little Finger, He was spot on.
For the love of God do a Tywin Lannister video. Love your work you are a outstanding teacher.
R-01 To say that someone is irrelevant because he is dead dismisses the lessons that can be learned from him. While fictional, Tywin's grip on power was extremely strong and he was a master at working behind the scenes. Ask Robb Stark.
tywin's one huge flaw was his underestimation of tyrion leading to his down fall, he thought tyrion was the stereotypical dumb dwarf everyone thinks he is. but he should have known better
Genetix No he was aware of Tyrion's genius he was blinded by the fact that tyrion was a dwarf that killed his wife.
If anything, it's the complete opposite. Since he is dead, that just means his relevance is that much more important to Cersei's and Jaime's characters, as his influence has controlled their actions, even after his death. Honestly, you could probably determine the fate of both Cersei and Jaime from a Tywin character breakdown...
Tywin could have possibly already won the game had he not been so terrible to Tyrion. He thought Tyrion would always put up with his mistreatment, underestimating the dwarfs courage to eventually stand up for himself.
Kind of annoys me how a master manipulator like little finger will ultimately let himself be played by Sansa by thinking with his little head..
Or, as this video discusses, he's just allowing her to feel in charge. And feel in charge, she does.
Varys isn't as smart as littlefinger despite having the same talents.
It will be his downfall because of a little thing called lust & love.
Indeed, Varys is far from Littlefinger.
Varys has too many ideals clouding him - most importantly he doesn't want to be the overt ruler himself. It's a sort of reverse situation. Littlefinger has a goal, and he wants to be the overt ruler, but he's very covert about getting there.
Varys doesn't want to be the ruler, but he needs to feel like he's the one in charge, both of what happens and himself. Also, as shown when Dany, alongside her many faux-pas, starts ratting him out in season 7. I think it was episode 2.
He starts getting sobby-eyed and rant on his feelings and good rulers, appealing to the pathos of Daenarys. Problem is that, if Varys ever runs into someone that simply does not care, he won't prevail. Varys doesn't play people, he mostly just acts on the pretense that people would act as he wants them to.
He openly tries to play on their emotions, or even pay them. He's forcing them, very obviously.
Baelish on the other hand... He's no problem with backing off and falling under another's authority. He doesn't need to persuade you, not now or ever. Because in not doing these things, he puts himself more strongly. Erasing his motive, erasing his finger in the play.
Dalle Smalhals less is more
Charisma on Command : so you should let people feel like it is their descision
Charisma on Command : Speaking of cersei, let me know if you want a video about her in the comment
Nice
"And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"
A Scooby Doo ending if ever there was!
Did you just predict little finger's death ??, just change Jon for Bran and you guessed it 100%, nice one.
He probably read the leaks in all likelihood.
Two words.
Reverse psychology.
1 word
stupid
2 words
I can't count.

"Don't do them because it's not cool"
*-You actually think people who would do what Littlefinger does ACTUALLY CARE what's socially acceptable?*
This reminds me a lot of people who shocase "toxic" but "effective" methods to games and such but then tell people "don't do this, people will hate you" like, and?
In a lot of those situations, their distaste becomes absolutly irrivilent as the user has already won and in that idea, sees no conquence to their actions.
I usually start thinking at that point "then why the F are you showing people this if its a bad idea?!". That is just egging them on, even if it is unintentional.
You predicted Petyr's end prefectly Charlie well done on the video. It has many useful tips in normal social interaction
Lord Petyr Baelish, by far most compelling character in my opinion, knowledge is power!
MCShvabo Power is power.
rip
Yeah, fuck that...
Nope, as Cersei said way back and was demonstrated in the season finale, Power is power!
But he was not killed by power, but by an unfortunate demonstration of intellectual superiority that Sansa supposedly possesses.
Could you do a video about Varys?
This video can be really be used for good. I used some of these strategies unconsciously (before watching this video) to calmly deal with my cousin's abusive and narcissistic/sociopathic ex-boyfriend, in order to protect my cousin.
Keeping your ego in check and not triggering his ego was probably one of the most important things to dealing with such people.
Littlefinger’s methods are effective, it’s just his morals that are flawed.
He's literally the epitome of the 48 laws.
grrm is such a great writer. such well developed characters
Please do Tywin Lannister next
Wow, you nailed it with this analysis and the predictions based on it were spot on.
your prediction was correct, you are great man in reading the people and a video about reading a person will be great
Do one on Tywin Lannister.
After last night's episode, this video is even more pertinent. Everything in this video is exemplified in that episode. Especially the part where Sansa is his weakness. The analysis is so accurate that this was predicted long before the season began. It frightens me to consider what littlefinger is planning next, and the effect of his "talk" with jon.
Well...
13:30 That look exchange was so so SO good.
Littlefinger cause of death: fell from a ladder
Littlefinger is my fav charater
pls survive
He's no more horrible than anyone else in Westeros. Murder is the way of their elite, as it is of our own. Always has been. One day, the peasantry will break the cycle instead of allowing it to repeat.
House Baelish for life...for better or worse. #KnowledgeIsPower
Power is power!
myfavoritescenes Dragons are power! Wait no, the best weapon is between your legs. Crotch is the power!
Cunt is power.
Hunam i absolutely agree with that
Is Khadgar his ancestor?
Dude I'm so emotional right now, I think you just taught me what causes me the most pain and hardship in my life; my ceaseless defense of my ego. The way you described this through the lense of Littlefinger, that you cannot serve your goals and protect your ego simultaneously, God what an awesome video man, thanks
He's a great actor. Really good in quantum break too
This is why Baelish is the best character in Game of Thrones, he is the depiction of a modern day man, trapped in the feudal era.
He can't swordfight, he has brains and he is born from relatively nowhere, with the ambition to have everything. No one can tell this man what he can't do.
We are all born equal, regardless of social standing and within each of us, we have the potential to reach the highest standing in life.

If you read niccolo's machiavelli's The Prince, little finger is doing exactly that
Your guess was absolutely right! Congrats!
He was such a good character rip😔
RIP to the person who orchestrated GOT
I really want him to be the one who sits on the iron throne. Despites he really can die in this season, I might have the feeling he's the major character in the ASOIAF, even people saying that's a story without protagonists, Martin really can make's all of us think about Dany and Jon just to sacrifice them in the end to save the world from the deads and puts Petyr in the throne (by the way, all major events on the books was made by his hand. He was the person who killed Jon Arryn and brought the Starks to the South, he betrayed Ned and indirectely cause the war of the five kings, he was the person who saved the north from the Boltons)
Not just in the books, but the show too. It was just very poorly written and easily missed. But he still was the reason the entire show happened and put the Starks and Lannisters at odds.
Oozywolf Wow what a good comment sir
He wont. because he just died. Sansa figured out his evilness and now littlefinger is dead!
Bran told her everything
Maybe in the books he can find some hope
Shiba Doggo
Nope. Baelish' schemes mean nothing in the face of the Long Night, in both the books and the show.
And it's been teased he'll meet his end in the books just as he has in the show.
He deserved a better death . He was a true protagonist
antagonist*
Not a protag unfortunately, but he is THE most important character in ASOIAF(one could argue Catelyn, Edmure, or Minisa but that's not important right now)
10:11 "While everyone else is pursuing the trappings of power- like respect, titles, praise etc, Petyr only wants the big wins"-True, as he himself has said. Everything else is an illusion. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
You know a show is superb and terrific when this amount of analysis could be done to its characters. Anyway, great job man, keep the work up, and could you do Tywin?
Could you maybe do a video about Harvey Specter's Charisma? just finished the series and i totally love him ^^
Yes, please, do harvey
That's what I was about to post too
I suggested this ages ago. Jessica Pearson too as I don't think I've seen a more dominant female character than her.
Cloudy yessssssssss
omg im currently watching it right on s03 atm. :D do it soon please
Great observations. Big thumbs up for the prediction.
I just like HOW he talks in the series, with the short stops in between words to make sure you are listening for 100% to him.
Hey, what do you think about Davos's ability to persuade almost anyone? I think it might be interesting to see you analyze him to see how he is able to do so. He was the reason Stannis was able to persuade the Iron Bank, he persuaded Melisandre to snap out of her funk to bring Jon back. He talked Lyanna Mormont in to helping Jon take back winterfell, and many other things he was able to convince others to do, all while being what he himself would describe as "not a very learned man!!!"
Yeah, Davos is different from everyone else because he doesn't use cunning to captivate other people, instead he's more of "friendly uncle" type of guy.
I think George just made a character based on "48 Ways to Power". Lots of the strategies you mention are in the book or have their own chapters.
You actually hit the nail on the head as far as what happened to Littlefinger in the end
This guys a prophet he was right about him letting sansa know of his true goal causing his demise
And about the starks defeating him
I would love a video on the spider
13:45 Damn, that prediction was spot on
Just a brilliant breakdown of power dynamics!
Man you're doing a great job with all of this. Now I can grasp more on how developing characters... By the way Little Finger is my best GOT character behind Tyrion
Not anymore
Claudia Silva they used bran. That's like a cheat code. The dude is a genius hahah
i wanted to write the exact same thing, then i saw youre comment xD
exactly. they had to use some magical autism bird to literally look into the past to put down littlefinger. If anything, that shows just how unstoppable he was. Truly the best charachter in the entire series.
His last conspiracy was quite fickle tbh. Any word from Arya to Sansa about the circumstances of her getting the letter and his whole plan would have been collapsed.
Using Bran is cheating, though.
Frank Underwood please!
JRr v2.0 Yes! He is the modern LF!
There are actually several good points in this video that can be used without fully embracing cold manipulative path of Littlefinger
- do not try to force the others to take your ideas, but just try to "seed the idea" and let them decide themself
- do not take offence too seriously, these are only some worthless words
- do not let arrogance overcome you and let the others feel involved in the success of your hard work and even receive some of your praise
- do not pursue the appearance of success or whatever you would like to achieve, but work hard to get it and ignore everything that distracts you on the way
- be patient and wait for opportunities that will definitely appear
Peter Bayliss “ The Greatest Pimp” in History of Westeros . Even Sansa Stark sold to Ramsey” The Bolton Bastard” Snow!
Beilish is the most brilliant in the series
Top 3 people I wanted to win:
1) Little Finger
2) Jon Snow
3) Tywin Lannister
Sadly, one's dead.
TheDuckSneezes The most able one out of the three that is
Ahmed Harris it doesn't seem so, but Jon is a quite competent man in the matter, he never lets ego win like Sansa does with Robett Glover, he gains respect with his actions and not through manipulating, he always fight in the frontlines with his men increasing their morale, he builds friendship with his counselors and bannermen (ser Davos, Tormund, Lyanna Mormont, Robett Glover, and his veterans after the battle of the Bastards)
one died in season 4, one died in season 5 (came back to life) and the other is dying the end of season 7...😁
John Snow is a MESS!
+Red Raven Increasing the morale of your men doesn't help when you are leading them into one of Ramsays traps
Hii.. i gotta thank you so so so much for this video it has made me so much aware of a lot of how people wants and how i can influence others it has made me a better person. I now participate in a shelter home weekly i visit the gym at least 4 times a day (but i don't do a lot of that nowadays because of obvious reasons) thank you so much.
Although there's couple things that were said by the hound in the books but the series made it about littlefinger' relationship w sansa.
Like the lie conv and the hound' childhood
