Bran is Star-Child confirmed. Jon Snow will have to pick between a green switch, a red switch, and a blue switch before the Iron Throne. *Womp Womp merp merp*
At least now we know why Bran was always staring at everyone. He was practicing for his epic stare down with the NK, so he could distract him while Arya jumped on him.
Someone else commented that the night king knew about Arya's movements and saw through her move but the overconfidence on NK's part made him do a silly mistake (didn't realise Arya could be fatal in a close combat).
All this hard work, all those long nights, and weeks of shooting in the freezing cold at night. The exhaustion and pain everyone went through to make this happen. It's astounding, and it's amazing. And it was all undercut by some dude in the editing room that made it too dark to see anything.
I did. Viserion was obvious because of the holes in his wings, and eventually the blue fire spewing out. And then Drogon and Rhaegal were two different colors with different shaped heads & horn lengths.
@Min Ex did you watch it on a tv from the 90s? i cant believe people are actually complaining it was too dark, i watched it pirated on a crappy laptop and it was absolutely fine

Limmamikegamma60 I felt it was fitting. He sacrificed himself for Bran. He was going to die at that point anyway. But, anyway, He just slowed him down just a bit. Enough that Arya could swoop in and kill him.

Ernest Banks I wouldn’t say so, since then they have introduced new ones. Plus the characters killed were the MAIN ass characters, central to the show with incomplete arcs. They played it safe here
Episode 8/3 was good enough for me to end the entire story line. The last three episodes don't matter to me now. This was a great ride... really enjoyed the show. A great story always has great villains and heroes. The best ones have an evil adversary that is impossible to overcome. That is what made this so special to me. I'll watch the rest of it...
I did a fan edit where I included the funeral scene from episode 4. Thats where I can end the series. The last three episodes didn't happen. Or I'm waiting for the season 9 and 10 that expands them into the last 20 episodes.
Yeah imagine them making the battle of the dead two episodes long and everyone from the west comes to join and almost everyone dies and the end it with only a few alive showing that all the politics and shit didn’t matter in the end. I would have liked it much better for be an end for the show.
@@mitchellwilliam95 have you ever been close to a fire at night? It gives much more light than that. Even if it wasn't the case, it's a movie. People might want to watch it, not just listen
Right arguably the best portrayal of any character on the show. And his send off was amazing. Bran just looking at him and telling him "You're a good man" even after doing such terrible things and being completely broken down Theon still stood up, fought and died for the family he had come to love at Winterfell. RIP Theon and thank you to Alfie Allen for a phenomenal performance throughout all 8 seasons.
I am not sure why but this unfortunately isn't anything new. He rarely ever had any presence when it comes to promoting the show in interviews/tv late night shows or behind the scenes videos like these.
Theon's ending couldn't have been more badass. He had no arrows and whatever left, was on his own, yet the amount of wights he obliterated like it was nothing at all.
Alfie Allen is an AMAZING actor. Every season he knocked it out of the park. He deserves more recognition for his skill. Theon was totally believable as arrogant, broke down torture victim, PTSD victim, survivor and finally hero despite it all. Alfie 'your'e the man"!
13:19 "Quiet place" - A library that is somewhere in the middle of Winterfell where dragons, thousands of men and wights die and fight right at that moment. But no sound of the battle can get through that windows with the metal lattice. That is simply genius.
Thats because the whole episode was shit when it came to writing. Jorah's death in her arms was supposed to be one of the most heartwrenching moments in the whole show, and we all new it was inevitable. But what do they do? People were still in shock or fucking mad like me and my friends after Supersansa flew over hundreds of wights and a dozen white walkers to do what she did. That scene there IS THE MAIN REASON why Martin started writing game of thrones! Because he was fed up with superhero fantasy novels where things happen because they're cool. There's a reason he hasn't said anything yet after the episode. He's fucking mad as hell.
He spent 9 years thinking he was going to be the Prince that was Promised, only to find out little Maisie got to kill the Night King. That must have been disappointing. But then, my fan theory of Arya killing Cersei and taking her face to bend the knee and end the war is still viable...
I love these "behind the scene" shots. I am always impressed with the ingenuity, dedication, and skill of the crews involved as well as the number of people required to make everything look real. No wonder this series was so costly to produce. I'll wager that all of these folks will have their participation on Game of Thrones as the first item on their resume'.
I AM SO DISAPPOINTED that this video didn't go over Theon's scenes. Alfie Allen was fucking brilliant over the years and Theon had the best character arc so why is it not covered here at all? Even a minute of Alfie talking about it, or even crying over it- don't we all deserve that???
Right? I feel like his character got looked over a lot more than it should have. He was (hopefully still is) definitely one of my favourite characters. Is he dead? I can't watch the episode.
Kristina Baskett, (Arya's stunt double 11:34) is from my hometown here in Seattle. She graduated from Mt. Rainier High School before getting a full Gymnastics Scholarship at Utah State U. But, she's been Arya's, (and MANY other people's) stunt double for almost a decade now. Very impressive girl, everyone interested in that sort of thing should check out her CZcams videos. 👍😊
For sure, not to mention they've been teasing the "Prince who was promised"/"Azor Ahai reborn" as Jon Snow for a while, so naturally he should be the one to end the Winter and the Night King. DnD blew it.
When the Hound was trapped on an island in an ice lake surrounded by the army of the dead and had no hope of rescue, he was pretty relaxed. Now he's facing the same army of the dead while in a castle with one of the largest armies ever assembled and he has a nervous breakdown. Great writing!
Even though we weren't satisfied with the final season we have to give it to everyone that worked on it! They did an amazing job, they went through hell to make this! The directors, the stunt actors and coordinators, the extras, the actors and everyone else behind the cameras are the ones that should get praised again and again! They ones that should get the hate are the writers! Let's not forget that they are the ones that fucked everything up, not all the other folks that worked tirelessly on this season. Although I did really hate how dark this episode was, and I'm not talking about the atmosphere. I could barely see anything happening. I kept increasing the light volume on my computer even though I had gotten to the highest point at the beginning of the episode.
I am moved by that kid's general bravery. Went down like a warrior like her mother. Her screams, blood and the sound of her being crushed was hardcore.
I honestly didn't mind that it wasn't Jon that killed the Night King. I felt like the situation was so desperate, so completely hopeless, that the only thing that would work was killing the Night King and they couldn't afford to wait around and let Jon have his moment. It was basically free-for-all, if you had the opportunity to take him out, go for it, we can't wait around. So I have no issues with it at all, I was quite happy. That's me personally. All the work put into this, absolutely amazing. You can tell everyone is so dedicated to their jobs and it really shows. :)
“I think the crew really enjoyed the result...” Kit Harrington enjoyed it so much he had to get therapy after filming and still can’t bring himself to watch season 8.
He was getting clobbered by one scene by wights, getting bitten and shit by several of them Then the next scene is of he crying in the same spot WHERE DID THE WIGHTS GO, FINISH THE JOB His scenes were so useless. Get your fatass in the crypt.
The Dothraki were useless. But I think the unsullied carried themselves pretty well outside the gates. It seemed like the whites would have gotten in the castle much earlier if the unsullied hadn't been there.
As much as I love Sam, he really should have died if he spent the episode “fighting” wights. I was hoping he’d realize what he was in for after seeing poor Edd get killed and go to the crypts, but he just took a seat on a pile of bodies and somehow survived.
he hid his disappointment for him and was honest to the interviewer -.- People do the same when they break up, often xD. "I don't care" While crumbling on the inside.
Justification for the terrible delivery of NK's death: "Just didnt feel right" Bruh, atleast have Jon in there, that's the whole point of the entire series.
Love how you ended this with the death of Jorah Mormont.. how can a man die better .. than facing fearful odds??? Of all the connections on GOT, this one is by far my favorite. A loyal knight for a noble queen... thx, HBO, it's been a bittersweet lullaby.. 😓
Watching this just reminds me. No matter how amazing your special effects, your sets, your actors, your action sequences are, story will always be king.
So the Mormonts really stood their ground til their very last breath Also, cheers to Theon that went from escaping his uncle to go face directly the deadliest being in existence on his own
@@Jungle_Noodle I guess hes deadly after all, since the only thing known to kill him is Valyrian steel and there haven't been forged any new valyrian weapons since the Doom of Old Valyria and the techniques of how to forge such weapons have been lost since then (apparently)

George R R : "I don't like characters that are evil for the sake of evil, I don't like my main characters to survive situations they shouldn't" D&D: " yeah ok I hear what you're saying, but what if, we ignore all of that"
People need to understand that the ones at the top make the decisions, and they're usually people who don't make movies/series on the regular. They're the ones with the money. If they want someone to live or to die and they're adamant about it and won't budge no matter what, it's either what they want or no funding.
Ever heard of Dorne? Nation that survived three dragons and a large army despite being not as rich or powerful as the Westerlands or the Reach? Even in the lore, whole KINGDOMS had plot armor.
The show writers went against the two basic tenets of what made GOT unique. Now it's just... more of the same. Why should I even care how the show ends now? It's no longer meaningful in any way.
NK actually looked like he went easy on them... That moment when threw his spear after drogon tries to burn him.. he looked like he didn't even wanna hit the target. And he could have just crushed Arya's head the moment he grasped her by the neck.
@@BigBForBoss A friend of mine sent me a picture confirming he was in the next episode somewhere from a trailer. It was clear it was after the battle too, so I'm certain. It was in the courtyard of Winterfell. I had the same question, but he proved me wrong.
Luca Douglas It was horrible. You couldn’t see anything, they put a trench behind their men, charge the Dothraki into instant death, and Bran does nothing. Actors and general idea was good, but it did not pan out well.
Why would they not acknowledge Theon's death? He had a full character arch and his death was really touching. *You are a good man, Theon. Thank you* :(
Wait what? Omg,did that happened? I thought that zombies somehow got in the crypt trough the walls, didnt see what realy happened because it was too dark.

There was more alive back then
Yep, just sad.
Ernest Banks I wouldn’t say so, since then they have introduced new ones. Plus the characters killed were the MAIN ass characters, central to the show with incomplete arcs. They played it safe here
Killed more characters for reason of story. There are still episodes left.
The writers didn't had the balls to kill a main character, even Sam doesn't fucking die
Episode 8/3 was good enough for me to end the entire story line. The last three episodes don't matter to me now. This was a great ride... really enjoyed the show. A great story always has great villains and heroes. The best ones have an evil adversary that is impossible to overcome. That is what made this so special to me. I'll watch the rest of it...
I did a fan edit where I included the funeral scene from episode 4. Thats where I can end the series. The last three episodes didn't happen. Or I'm waiting for the season 9 and 10 that expands them into the last 20 episodes.
@@Story2ScreenMovieReviewPodcast add the drinking scene as well and that's it
Yeah imagine them making the battle of the dead two episodes long and everyone from the west comes to join and almost everyone dies and the end it with only a few alive showing that all the politics and shit didn’t matter in the end. I would have liked it much better for be an end for the show.
good enough? ur standards r low old man
Shame all this hard work has been almost completely overshadowed by the awfulness of the rest of the season.
"Theon, you are a good man. Thank you."
Can we just take a moment to apprecite Melisandre and the Dragons for allowing us to watch this episode properly
You want a fight at night, in winter, to be brightly lit? What?
At this point this meme is dead, but I still upvote it every time and I love that people don't forget about Melisandre.
The cinematographer sent Melisandre in the beginning to light up the scene.😂
@@mitchellwilliam95 have you ever been close to a fire at night? It gives much more light than that. Even if it wasn't the case, it's a movie. People might want to watch it, not just listen
@@mitchellwilliam95 have you ever seen the fight of Helms Deep in Lotr? Thats how you shoot a fight at night.
Alfie Allen deserves a part in this his role as Theon was unbelievable
I was waiting for his bit too but then the video stopped. 😮
Right arguably the best portrayal of any character on the show. And his send off was amazing. Bran just looking at him and telling him "You're a good man" even after doing such terrible things and being completely broken down Theon still stood up, fought and died for the family he had come to love at Winterfell. RIP Theon and thank you to Alfie Allen for a phenomenal performance throughout all 8 seasons.
I am not sure why but this unfortunately isn't anything new. He rarely ever had any presence when it comes to promoting the show in interviews/tv late night shows or behind the scenes videos like these.
Theon's ending couldn't have been more badass. He had no arrows and whatever left, was on his own, yet the amount of wights he obliterated like it was nothing at all.
Alfie Allen is an AMAZING actor. Every season he knocked it out of the park. He deserves more recognition for his skill. Theon was totally believable as arrogant, broke down torture victim, PTSD victim, survivor and finally hero despite it all. Alfie 'your'e the man"!
This video is actually more enjoyable than the Episode.
爱科技iTech lol
13:19
"Quiet place" - A library that is somewhere in the middle of Winterfell where dragons, thousands of men and wights die and fight right at that moment.
But no sound of the battle can get through that windows with the metal lattice. That is simply genius.
Bran was watching Avengers Endgame the whole time.

jorah: dies in got
me: didnt cry
jorah: talks about his fictional death in an interview
me: sobs
I'd give 10/10 for this behind the scenes. 1/10 for the actual episode ;/
Ian Moh, same here! I was sad watching him die in the show, but the candid way they were talking about it just broke my heart
Thats because the whole episode was shit when it came to writing. Jorah's death in her arms was supposed to be one of the most heartwrenching moments in the whole show, and we all new it was inevitable. But what do they do? People were still in shock or fucking mad like me and my friends after Supersansa flew over hundreds of wights and a dozen white walkers to do what she did. That scene there IS THE MAIN REASON why Martin started writing game of thrones! Because he was fed up with superhero fantasy novels where things happen because they're cool. There's a reason he hasn't said anything yet after the episode. He's fucking mad as hell.
123robac123 I guess you mean Super Arya
@@123robac123 what supersansa did ? she was in the crypts. and arya can kill anyone . noone else could come closer to the nk.

He spent 9 years thinking he was going to be the Prince that was Promised, only to find out little Maisie got to kill the Night King. That must have been disappointing. But then, my fan theory of Arya killing Cersei and taking her face to bend the knee and end the war is still viable...
@@SirLyonhart Arya is awesome! :)
I would have been surprised if she hadn't knocked off the Night King. She has been building up to it all this time.
This episode was so dark that even the Night King's army didn't see ARYA Coming🤣
Im dead 😂
Hahaha nice one 👍
I mean how ? Is she disguised as the dead ?
😂🤣😂🤣
You copied it from an other video
I love these "behind the scene" shots. I am always impressed with the ingenuity, dedication, and skill of the crews involved as well as the number of people required to make everything look real. No wonder this series was so costly to produce. I'll wager that all of these folks will have their participation on Game of Thrones as the first item on their resume'.
God bless Ramin Djawadi and his masterful musical talent. The man has the ability to rescue even the worst episodes (COUGH) with his beautiful scores.
Night king could have probably won if he walked a bit faster
Lol he was walking slow as hell
And his white walkers could've been more vigilant
I think he was communicating with bran telepathically, maybe that's why.
Its fantecy not reality .
Plus . He is not human after all .
😂😂😂😂
I AM SO DISAPPOINTED that this video didn't go over Theon's scenes. Alfie Allen was fucking brilliant over the years and Theon had the best character arc so why is it not covered here at all? Even a minute of Alfie talking about it, or even crying over it- don't we all deserve that???
Maymuna Kabir right. I’d rather they skip Bran’s interview and do theon’s
And Melisandre too
marina berlian Yes!!
criminal oversight... compels me to ask, what are they trying to prove with this vid?
Best character arc? Maybe one of the best, but deffo wouldn't top Arya's, the Hound, Melisandre's, or fokin Jaime Lannister
Iain Glen / Jorah has the best scene in this video, just like in the episode!
Hearing Mass Effect 3 Leaving Earth soundtrack give me chills. :)
No love for Theon? His character arc was one of the best in television history
So disappointed in them for not mentioning him, he had the biggest come back story of all time in this season
Right? I feel like his character got looked over a lot more than it should have. He was (hopefully still is) definitely one of my favourite characters. Is he dead? I can't watch the episode.
@CWALSHEY ....F....

Theon.
You are a good man.
Thank you.
How could Sam possibly survive?! 😂😂
Plot armor is the strongest armor.
Because he has to be the one to record the song of fire and ice when he returns to the citadel.
Dothraki gets wiped out in seconds.
Sam survives thousand of zombies by laying down and crying.
Logic had been tossed in the winds.
Bran always having visions in the wrong times, like where was he when Theon was fighting? Watching Endgame?

Bran went to watch End Game.
Who else saw a lot of Tywin when Night's King stared at Bran before Arya came to the party. The intense but calm stare, and just intimidating.
Lol they're using music from Mass Effect right at the end
Arya shouldn’t have killed the NK. I mean she’s one of my favourite characters, but it should have been Jon. Just saying.
For sure, not to mention they've been teasing the "Prince who was promised"/"Azor Ahai reborn" as Jon Snow for a while, so naturally he should be the one to end the Winter and the Night King.
DnD blew it.
*DONT LET NIGHT KING'S DEATH DISTRACT YOU FROM THE FACT THAT THE HOUND HAD HIS NERVOUS BREAKDOWN*
Cleganebowl!
Hound just needed to see Arya struggling to pull it together
When the Hound was trapped on an island in an ice lake surrounded by the army of the dead and had no hope of rescue, he was pretty relaxed. Now he's facing the same army of the dead while in a castle with one of the largest armies ever assembled and he has a nervous breakdown. Great writing!

How much darkness would you like in this episode?
*yes*
Even though we weren't satisfied with the final season we have to give it to everyone that worked on it! They did an amazing job, they went through hell to make this! The directors, the stunt actors and coordinators, the extras, the actors and everyone else behind the cameras are the ones that should get praised again and again! They ones that should get the hate are the writers! Let's not forget that they are the ones that fucked everything up, not all the other folks that worked tirelessly on this season. Although I did really hate how dark this episode was, and I'm not talking about the atmosphere. I could barely see anything happening. I kept increasing the light volume on my computer even though I had gotten to the highest point at the beginning of the episode.
I am moved by Bella Ramsey's (Lyanna Mormont) acting skills and confidence at such a young age.
I agree, I cried when she died!
Agree, best loli so far
@@ariefnafly8062 A man of culture
I am moved by that kid's general bravery. Went down like a warrior like her mother. Her screams, blood and the sound of her being crushed was hardcore.
+The Juvenile Cinephile give me a fucking break. There's nothing special about her.
After spending 15mil on this episode, I can understand why cersei ain't getting her elephants.
Cersei is getting her cgi elephants (spoilers)
Billy Pilgrim ur shitting me
Imagine an undead elephant fucking rushing towards your army even the unsullied form will get devastated in just a single tackle
15 million for darkness
and why the dothraki had to go die. they couldn't afford the horses
The Episode of all Episodes of all Seasons...never tires me and always as good as the first time...Incredible Work...Deserves MUCH more attention!
The ending with Jorah made me cry! Seeing how emotional the actors were 😓
I would not be shocked if Sam sits on the throne. He's immortal.
And Davos, no one can touch them.
Sam is Brave Sir Robin with some radical book learning skills lol.
Shawn DC RIGHT???!!!
he'll just sit on it and start crying and everyone will just let him be
no one can defeat the power of his plot armor
" Kit was really fine with it "
" I WAS PISSED "
lmafooooo
I honestly didn't mind that it wasn't Jon that killed the Night King. I felt like the situation was so desperate, so completely hopeless, that the only thing that would work was killing the Night King and they couldn't afford to wait around and let Jon have his moment. It was basically free-for-all, if you had the opportunity to take him out, go for it, we can't wait around. So I have no issues with it at all, I was quite happy. That's me personally. All the work put into this, absolutely amazing. You can tell everyone is so dedicated to their jobs and it really shows. :)
“I think the crew really enjoyed the result...”
Kit Harrington enjoyed it so much he had to get therapy after filming and still can’t bring himself to watch season 8.
Elite fighters, Dothraki warriors and Unsullieds: *Dying in matter of seconds*
Samwell: *Surviving the whole fight without a scratch*
Literally laying down having a good sob for most of it
I kept yelling "stop saving him!"
He was getting clobbered by one scene by wights, getting bitten and shit by several of them
Then the next scene is of he crying in the same spot
WHERE DID THE WIGHTS GO, FINISH THE JOB
His scenes were so useless. Get your fatass in the crypt.
The Dothraki were useless. But I think the unsullied carried themselves pretty well outside the gates. It seemed like the whites would have gotten in the castle much earlier if the unsullied hadn't been there.
As much as I love Sam, he really should have died if he spent the episode “fighting” wights. I was hoping he’d realize what he was in for after seeing poor Edd get killed and go to the crypts, but he just took a seat on a pile of bodies and somehow survived.

"Just didnt feel right"
Bruh, atleast have Jon in there, that's the whole point of the entire series.
Love how you ended this with the death of Jorah Mormont.. how can a man die better .. than facing fearful odds??? Of all the connections on GOT, this one is by far my favorite. A loyal knight for a noble queen... thx, HBO, it's been a bittersweet lullaby.. 😓
Watching this just reminds me. No matter how amazing your special effects, your sets, your actors, your action sequences are, story will always be king.
GoT basically took a huge dump on what made them special in the first place - their story.
Special effects without a story are a pretty boring thing. --George Lucas
99% of todays Hollywood movies
Yet the story isn’t finished and people are complaining.
Mr. Serr Because its not as exciting anymore. Arya can surely kill Cersei the same she did the Night King. And if she cant, the writers are ass.
So the Mormonts really stood their ground til their very last breath
Also, cheers to Theon that went from escaping his uncle to go face directly the deadliest being in existence on his own
tbh, he wasnt that "deadly".
@@Jungle_Noodle damn, so you really do know nothing
@@ruuik I know walder frey killed more main characters than NK
@@Jungle_Noodle I guess hes deadly after all, since the only thing known to kill him is Valyrian steel and there haven't been forged any new valyrian weapons since the Doom of Old Valyria and the techniques of how to forge such weapons have been lost since then (apparently)

The Night is dark and full of poor writing
People need to understand that the ones at the top make the decisions, and they're usually people who don't make movies/series on the regular. They're the ones with the money. If they want someone to live or to die and they're adamant about it and won't budge no matter what, it's either what they want or no funding.
@@Pumpkin0_0 Dude HBO has nothing to do with this poor writing. Its just D&Ds fault.
Ever heard of Dorne? Nation that survived three dragons and a large army despite being not as rich or powerful as the Westerlands or the Reach? Even in the lore, whole KINGDOMS had plot armor.
The show writers went against the two basic tenets of what made GOT unique. Now it's just... more of the same. Why should I even care how the show ends now? It's no longer meaningful in any way.
If only they worked this hard for writing season 8
NK actually looked like he went easy on them... That moment when threw his spear after drogon tries to burn him.. he looked like he didn't even wanna hit the target. And he could have just crushed Arya's head the moment he grasped her by the neck.
