    For all the haters who like to bash this cool scene by saying Arya "beat" Brienne, it was just a sparring match and that it ended with a respectful draw.

    • @stoned_savage
      @stoned_savage Před 7 měsíci +74

      Not hater or anything because Brienne and Arya are two of my favorite characters in the show, but Arya bested Brienne several times during their spar to the point Brienne was swinging death blows and had to kick Arya just to gain some distance from her.
      Granted I would like to see Arya hold a sword and wear armor like briennes and see if its still fair. Arya won this sparring match imo because she had the lighter equipment, was smaller than her opponent and was a little faster.

      Brianne was indeed surprised by Arya's talent right from the first few moves. The expression on her face said it all. And you cant tell me she didnt get a little excited and put her foot in Arya's chest thinking that would be over, but NO .. Arya was like a litte mongoose and surprised Brianne again, but when she got her lightweight sword knocked from her hand, she pulled the drop dagger change hands trick. The one she later used to save the living..nuff said.

      Brienne needed two hands on her sword to be effective.. Arya was using one hand most of the fight.. then Arya disabled Brienne s knee..and takes control of her left hand .. Brienne is now at a disadvantage because that sword 🗡️ was heavy and slow.. designed for two hands.. While Arya maintained her ground continuously using one hand..👀 just sayin.. it seems like Arya is the victor..

      Arya with less than a year of training pretty much beating a woman three times her size in full plate who's had like 15 years of training is just absurd. Stalemate or no, this would never happen. Please go do some HEMA, or literally any combat sport. Judo, BJJ, Boxing, Kickboxing, any of them. I've done all of them.

    • @Opnn8d1
      @Opnn8d1 Před 4 měsíci +58

      Brienne's expression showed that after that first quick point, she realized that Arya had skill, that what just happened was no fluke, and that she didn't want her going easy on her. And when she kicked Arya backwards, her expression was a blend of battle-rage and genuine concern. And when Arya leaped back on her feet in that low stance with that grin, there was an intrigued smile on Brienne's face as well. She was sparring with a master, regardless of youth or size. The final round, neither held back, and the finishing move made it a draw.
      Ultimately, it was Ser Davos who actually got to see her in real battle action in the battle of the long night. And it didn't bother me in the slightest that she was the one to kill the Night King.

    • @CappyK
      @CappyK Před 4 měsíci +34

      @@Opnn8d1 I don't mind so much that it was Arya that killed the Night King, her character certainly was built into a super assassin that could do something like that. It even makes sense that she would come and make sure her brother was okay.
      It was disappointing because there was so much build up to Jon vs the Night King. Their stare off as he raised all those slain Wildlings Jon had tried to rescue. All that Prince that was promised stuff. I fully expected Jon would have to stab Dany, and her dragon's fire blood would ignite his sword into the only weapon that would be able to kill the Night King, because all of that was part of the dramatic prophecy of Azor Ahai. He was even brought back to life by the Lord of Light for some great purpose which was... ... something.
      Having Arya spring out of the darkness and stab the Night King dead in one shot was a giant anti climax in the face of so much build up. It would have been like having Captain America in Avengers End Game reach for Thor's hammer... and yeah it's still too heavy. Hah, plot twist. Then Captain Marvel just swoops in and punches through Thanos's chest. End of Thanos. It's not that she couldn't... it's not that SHE did it... it's that the narrative build up to a certain pay off that just didn't happen.

Someone speculated that Maisie hid the sword behind her back during a fight so that her opponent wouldn't know which hand would hold the sword when it reappeared. Towards the end of this scene, after she loses the sword, she draws the dagger right-handed and tosses it to the left to continue the fight. Do you recall any other fights where she swapped hands??

  • @philipstaite4775
    @philipstaite4775 Před 6 měsíci +120

    One of my favorite GoT scenes for several reasons. One, Brienne's growing realization from the first couple of touches by Arya that she (Brienne) not only can, but needs to bring her A game. Two, Arya's apparent initial disappointment at either "This person beat the Hound?" or "She's not taking me seriously, yet." But then after Brienne puts her on the ground she almost smiles - finally the fight/training she wanted! Third, the foreshadowing (that first time through you have no idea that it is) of Arya's quick exchange of moving the dagger to her other hand. Of course mildly freaking out Sansa and tweaking Little Finger's interest are bonuses to set up tension and plot points.

      it is the single least realistic fighting in the entire show...whoever choreographed this should never work on another show or movie again as they clearly did not know how sword fighting even works and captured a grand total of ZERO of what should have been each characters skillsets.
      Arya should have been darting in and out. Brianne lacked any actual skill. No one would just grip their sword with both hands and swing it down like an axe and no rapier style weapon is going to magically stop all forward momentum just because it touched another weapon...that is not even how parrying works and no one places their sword diagonally across their chest to stop a weapon as it would be pushed down into you via momentum.

    I think people are missing a major aspect of this...yes Brienne is a much more experienced and trained swordsman. BUT Arya has been training against this type of swordsman, in her mind at the very least, since the hound pointed out how ineffective her fighting style ia against someone in armor with a greatsword. Brienne trains everyday against someone who fights in a similar manner of herself. Basically Arya has trained for this exact situation. Brienne had she ever considered this type of swordmenship to be effective and trained with this in mind would have destroyed Arya, but she considered this to be such an ineffective fighting style she first told Arya she cant fight with that sword. Consider the martial artist that got beat by an MMA fighter, if you fight against what your prepared for then your training helps alot of you fight against something you dont understand you are at a severe disadvantage

      The rapier replaced the arming sword because a straight thrust from the rapier would kill a knight before he could swing his big and heavy sword.
      Your rapier's tip is deadly. While it is extended, it is also the world's tiniest and most effective shield... Holding your opponent at range.
      If your opponent doesn't deal with your tip, you will run him through.
      If he draws back to strike, he will take a lethal hit to the chest.
      If the heavy sword tries to beat the smaller blade out of the way, the rapier can be moved at lightning speed and returned to its original and life threatening line.
      The foil was developed to fit between the rings of a coat of chain mail.
      Daggers made with a foil's blade dispatched many nights while they were wearing a full suit of armor.
      On a crowded battlefield, men were experts at finding the gaps in the plates and thrusting their little blades through the mail.

    Remember that we saw this clash of fighting styles in another episode: Ser Jorah in the fighting pits against a Water Dancer and he got his butt kicked, before the Water Dancer got stabbed in the back. Large scale battles are large scale and chaotic. Westerosi knights are armed, armored, and trained for such large battles. Water Dancers, aka fencers, are better one-on-one but the advantage diminishes more sharply the larger the scale of the combat.

    • @FoxInTheBasement
      @FoxInTheBasement Před 3 měsíci

      But Arya isn't a water dancer... She trained for a few weeks, years before this. She kept up some drills before Braavis, that she was forced to stop for at least a year.
      The faceless men did not prioritize direct combat and she was only there for a year, hardly enough to be skilled enough to take out a stronger, faster opponent.
      It's Game of Thrones, not a balanced fighting game. Brienne as a fully formed adult woman would be faster, stronger and more experienced much like l'm not faster than LeBron James. Real life doesn't have balance trade offs between people and game of thrones worked off these rules. The Mountain was faster than most and massive.

      I tend to watch the faces of the combatants when I have the opportunity to. During several of the sessions like this, I get the idea that Mazie enjoyed it. The delight on her face is often clear while the actress portraying Brienne doesn't like having to swing her (admittedly) much heavier practice sword, even though it is a prop made of wood. Yes, I do realize that in real life wooden practice swords and often shields were weighted with lead to make them much heavier than the real things, the better to help build muscle and stamina.

    Details not apparent:
    - Sansa seemed displeased because she was trying to lead Littlefinger into a false sense of security by making him believe his plan to pit her against Arya is working
    - No one taught her that (Faceless man)
    - where they are fighting is the place where Jon first got Needle from
    - in a straight-up fight without holding back because of any m'ladiness Brianne would win, but just before being killed Arya would run away and return later to kill Brianne through onw of the thousand ways she knows how to kill.
    - knife switch is flawless
    - when Brianne realized she's not dealing with a little girl she releases her greatest attribute: her freakish strength by kicking Arya across the courtyard
    Bonus:
    - Brianne is a descendent of Duncan the Tall, who was the Commander of the King's Guard when Aegon (Egg) the Unlikely ascended the Throne. The Throne was offered first to Egg's older brother: Maester Aemon who was escorted later by Duncan to the Wall to serve the Night's Watch. Aemon did this because he knew people would never stop asking him to be king and might kill Egg to it. Later old Maester Aemon meets Jon Snow and doesn't know that Jon is also a dragon. When Maester Aemon dies he cries out 'Egg'

    I loved sansa the best in the end.
    She became alittle bit of cersei, alittle bit of little finger and cruel as ramsey to her enemies. Theres hardly any stark left in her that isnt her sheer will and hardiness. Shes mentally the most capable ruler now forged through a thousand trials

    Both dreams came true, one ended marrying a Prince and the other became a skilled Warrior

    I know vary little about Game of Thrones.. as i thought it was some Roman-style show at first.. so never watched it.. but from what little i have.. i do believe Arya Stark is my favorate charcter of the bunch.
