So, I was binging Game of Thrones
for, like, the 8th time, as you do, and what stood out to
me this time around was how much lore
and development gets brushed under the rug. I asked myself, just how many plot
lines were introduced, but ultimately abandoned? To answer these questions, I did what any sane person
would and dedicated a few months of my life to compiling a
list outlining them all. And hey, if I missed something, please let me know
in the comments, and I’ll be happy to
make you a part 2. If you like what you see,
help the channel grow by liking, commenting and… - Get on with it. This is every abandoned
plotline in Game of Thrones. From murdering Jon Arryn, to pitting the Starks
against the Lannisters, to killing Joffrey, without Littlefinger,
there is no Game of Thrones. Something people
tend to forget is that Peter Baelish
wasn’t just a baller, he was also very much a player, with a bid for the Iron Throne
as good as anyone else’s. - And what do you want? - Oh, everything, my dear. What do you want? When I close my eyes,
I see a picture of me on the iron throne, and you by my side. Of course, what people do remember is his groundbreaking theory
of Chaos = MC ladder, but by season 6, that’s out the window too, as Littlefinger subjects
himself to Sansa, creating no chaos, just enjoying his place at court like the good little lady
he was never meant to be. - You will marry a lord one day and rule his castle. Now, had he at least had
a whiff of the Iron Throne before seeing it snatched
away from under his nose, that would have been
a proper way for him to go, not this. - Sansa, I beg you. His disappointing end undermines a lot of the tension the
show spent years building up, no less his and Olenna’s plot to kill Joffrey, a secret which, if it came out, would set half the realm against him. - Together, we killed a king. And I promise you, Lord Baelish, that if anything should
happen to my house, I will have nothing to hide. But that didn’t happen. And when Baelish dies, it doesn’t leave anywhere near the sort
of void other major deaths did. [thud] After their ancient purpose
of protecting the realm from what lies beyond the Wall
was rendered obsolete, the Night’s Watch is still
a thing for some reason. - There’s still a Night’s Watch? The show even comments on
this without providing answers! Why is it still a thing? What are they protecting
the realm from now that the White Walkers are destroyed, the Wildlings are friends, and the ice-spiders not
a thing in the first place? - Grumpkins and snarks. Oh yeah. Can’t wait for Snow season 1. [thud] When it comes to the
White Walker symbols, some speculate that
the circle is a heart, and the line is a sword, symbolizing the sacrifice
required to defeat them. Notice also how the pin
of the Hand of the King, and Sansa’s necklace in later seasons have the same shape. Coincidence!? …I mean, I guess. Then we’ve got this spiral, the same pattern as can be seen made by
the Children of the Forest, which is obviously a cool connection, seeing as the Children were the ones to
create the Walkers in the first place, but it kind of stops there. Presumably, the symbolism is
that of history repeating itself, but apart from the tragedy of Hodor, that doesn’t really affect the story, and we’re left asking
why the White Walkers would go out of their way
to leave these symbols behind at all. - It’s a message. No history is ever repeated,
so what was the point? Was it a warning? Was it an expression of childhood
trauma through modern art? Well, either way… One cool turn of events
could have been to see the eternal rivalry between the Three-Eyed Raven and the
Night King come full circle somehow, maybe by one hive-mind
spirit overtaking the other… - I’m sorry I wasn’t there when you needed me. You were exactly where
you were supposed to be. Burn them all! For the watch.
Father! Burn them all!
Father! Hold the door! Burn them all! But that wasn’t the case, so… When Mirri Maz Dur said that
Daenerys’ womb would quicken only… - When the sun rises in the west, and the mountains blow
in the wind like leaves. …It sounded like a fancy
way of saying “never”. But when Jon brings it up again in season 7, I have to wonder why the show reopened this plotline
only to go nowhere with it. I can never have children. Who told you that? The witch who murdered my husband. Have you considered that she might not be a reliable
source of information? [sexy music starts playing] Like, if Jon had made Daenerys pregnant, cheesy as it would be, then at least we’re in business, but this obviously doesn't happen,
so what the hell? [thud] Jon Snow… - His name is Aegon Targaryen. Right, Aegon Targaryen, the
Song of Ice and Fire himself. - I don’t want it. The long-standing mystery
of Jon Snow’s true parents and heritage is one of the great plotlines, and plot-twists, of our time. And it being thrown right out the window, has got to be up there with
some of the biggest disappointments in television history. - Careful. Oh, don’t worry,
we’ll get to you in a minute. Not only did they abandon
decades of mystery and build up, but also an entire social
dynamic that should be there, seeing as he’s King in the North, and dating his aunt. The northern lords should, quite literally,
be up in arms about having crowned a Targaryen, especially with so many of them
having personally been part of Robert's rebellion against
the mad Targaryen king Aerys not two decades prior. But hey, who wants to see
intrigue like that anyway? - EVERYONE! [thud] So if not Jon, then who is Azor Ahai, the Prince That Was Promised, AKA the title of the book series
the show is based on? Stannis was not the Prince who was Promised, but someone has to be. (I don’t want it) The prophecy was first brought up in season 2, with Stannis, flaming swords and all… - Stannis Baratheon, warrior of light. Then it was Daenerys… - Daenerys Stormborn is the one who is promised. Then it was Jon… - You serve Jon Snow now? He is the Prince that was Promised. Then it became a contemporary
American gender debate… - That noun has no gender in High Valyrian, so the proper translation of that prophecy would
be, "the prince, or princess, that was promised". And by the time the White Walkers rolled by… (screams)
(crash) - Kind of forgot. [thud] Ok, this is kind of the big one guys. Balancing the act of evil Prince
Charming, and savior of thousands, Jaime is asked the real
questions time and time again. - Who are you, and what do you want? - When you hear them whispering “Kingslayer”
behind your back, doesn’t it bother you? If you precious Renly commanded you to
kill your own father and stand by while thousands of men, women and children
burned alive, would you have done it? Is that what you tell yourself at night? But, despite the super-satisfying trajectory
of a bad man who actually cares deep down, the writers abandoned all
of that to the benefit of… a romance nobody asked for, only to go back
on it and have him die with Cersei anyway. If anything, his trajectory suggested
he could’ve been the valonqar who would wrap his hands around Cersei’s
neck and choke the life from her, coming full circle as the Kingslayer by standing up for the people by killing
yet another oppressive tyrant. Alas. 8 seasons of build up straight down the drain. - Thousands of men, women
and children burned alive. - To be honest I’ve never cared much for them… innocent or otherwise. (vomits) [thud] Tyrion’s kind nature is tested
consistently by his family, the establishment and pretty much everyone else, which eventually sees him snap in season 4, setting him on a path of hate and revenge. I wish I had enough poison
for the whole pack of you! I would gladly give my life
to watch you all swallow it! In season 5, however, Tyrion immediately goes
back on all that and derails from this trajectory. In fact, all we get from
Tyrion from season 5 onwards is a series of uncharacteristically bad decisions, shunning what could have been the
reverse journey of his brother Jaime. Oh, and cock jokes. Don’t forget the cock jokes. At least your balls don't freeze off. Because you have no [__]. If I lost my [__], I'd drink all the time. It's better luck to suck a dwarf's [__]. Because I have balls, and you don't. [thud] A big part of Game of Thrones
lore is the Three-Eyed Raven, the ancient hive-mind that
lures children into his cave with tinted windows to take over
their mortal bodies in order to… yeah, we don’t really know, and therein lies the problem. - You’ll never walk again, but you will fly. Like most people, I thought this meant
Bran was destined to be a dragon rider, but the show was content to keep
it to some crows here and there. We never learn the true motivations
of the Three-Eyed Raven, and the nature of its rivalry with the Night King. Was it really so shallow
as to take the Iron Throne? What about restoring and reintegrating
the Children of the Forest? Or, I don’t know, something more meaningful
than making Bronn Master of Coin. Also, is there a connection between the
Three-Eyed Raven and the Lord of Light? Are they opposing deities, seeing as
one sort of created the White Walkers, and the other supposedly means to destroy them? Or, are they one and the same, showing visions in flames to some people,
and whispers in the wind to others? Guess we’ll never know. [thud] Another big introduction was the ability to
interact with the past, causing time loops. - Father! Hold the door! In the books, it is hinted that the
snooping Bran himself did not make the sound that alerts Cersei to
his presence outside the window, which, after seeing how the young
Ned Stark reacts to Bran in the past, implies that the same could
be the case in episode 1, all in order to set Bran on his
journey to become the Three-Eyed Raven, but this is, of course,
never suggested by the show. Having this could have also given
meaning to the White Walker spiral… but hey what do I know, I’m
just a troll on the internet. [thud]
- Who do you truly serve? The realm, my lord. Ah, yes… or does he? - The absence of desire leaves
one to pursue other things… Varys’ true motivations were quietly a
big deal in the good half of the show, but after skipping town with Tyrion, Varys ceases to be active in the story, apart from teleporting around
like a glorified messenger, when he isn’t acting as ballplank
for Tyrion’s cock-jokes. - Because you have no cock. His U-turn from supporting
Daenerys to pressing Jon’s claim to the throne could have been the
catalyst for his moment in the spotlight, but uh… what’s the line again? She's... my queen. [thud] When Brandon the Curious sneaks off to
check the status on the White Walker army, the Night King touches him and leaves a mark
that presumably would corrupt him slowly and screw with him as he eventually wargs into and
subsequently loses one of Daenerys’ dragons, and that this being how the White Walkers
burn their way through the Wall... …but that didn’t happen. So, the mark is ultimately just
a geo-tag with extra steps that leads the White Walkers to the three-eyed cave, and cutting Bran’s training short. I’ll be covering this, and much more, in an
upcoming series on fixing Game of Thrones, so subscribe for that ya nerds! [thud] For the longest time, the people north of the
Wall were the enemies of everyone south of it, and when Jon attempts to change this by making
them into allies, he is murdered for it. - For the Watch. It goes that deep. But after Jon’s resurrection, the only
mention of the possible catastrophe of wildlings south of the Wall,
is Ramsey’s letter to Jon. To the traitor and bastard Jon Snow. You allowed thousands of wildlings past the Wall. You have betrayed your own kind,
you have betrayed the North... One might have thought this would
continue to be quite the hot potato, especially amongst the Night’s
Watchmen and the northern houses, but this political issue simply disappears
along with Jon’s vows to the Watch. [thud] The very first thing we learn about Arya,
is that she wants to be her own person, not shoe-horned into a life
chosen for her by somebody else. - You’ll marry a lord and rule his castle. No, that’s not me. She also cares deeply for her family, and while her journey is one of a lone wolf
trying to find her way back to her pack, she makes a tonne of unlikely allies on the way. - When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives. But, by season 7, she’s changed beyond recognition
to this overpowered, entitled piece of work, who eventually leaves her family and
friends to become Dora the Explorer. And let’s not forget, Arya never uses
the face-shifting abilities she spent two seasons acquiring to do anything useful, other than getting the Freys
off of the showrunners’ backs. [thud] Speaking of face-shifting! It is often mentioned how the renowned
assassins from Braavos are the kind of exclusive bunch you do not want to mess with… Which means desertion is not allowed. - What you just did is punishable by death. …but they her to escape with
all their skills and secrets. - I’m going home. Then go! The least they could have done would have been
to let Jaqen catch up to Arya before the Long Night and have them call it water under the
bridge as, you know, the world is about to end. Oh well. There’s also no explanation
as to why the Waif hates Arya. I’ve seen people speculate that it has to
do with the Waif craving Jaqen’s attention, but if she’s supposed to be no one, such cravings would never be
accepted, let alone rewarded. - You promised me that when the time
came, I’d be the one who gets to do it. [thud] In season 4, the dragons start getting unruly, and Daenerys eventually locks two of them up, which only seems to make them more angry, while Drogon continues to wreak havoc, but in season 6, they’ve all
been successfully rehabilitated, and are impressively tame and coordinated, as if the initial problems never existed. As seen in House of the Dragon, dragons require training and
disciplined riders to be fully cooperative. And even then, you’re never fully in control. - Vhagar, no!
And it doesn’t stop there. Their increase in size
means increased maintenance, a problem that was also soon abandoned. While I made sure our stores
would last through winter, I didn’t account for Unsullied, Dothraki and two full grown dragons. What do dragons eat, anyway? Whatever they want. [thud] In season 6, we were all very excited, or at least I was, about the introduction of
the red priestess Kinvara, who is brought in by Tyrion to propagate
support for Daenerys in Mereen. - Daenerys Stormborn is the one who is promised.
But, as we know, season 6 is the point where world building kinda seizes to be a
thing, and Kinvara’s efforts, if there ever were any, are confined to the illustrious realms off-screen. - I will summon my most eloquent Priests, they will spread the word. Kinvara, nor her eloquent briests… I mean breasts… I mean priests, are ever seen or heard of again. [thud] The Lannisters are one of, if not
the, richest Houses in Westeros thanks to a few decades of clever
management by your boy Tywin, as well as, you know, their literal gold mines… - Ever heard the term “as rich as a Lannister”? But, we also hear about the gold mines
running dry on multiple occasions, implying that the Lannisters are
losing their source of power. Summer has ended, hard days lie ahead... Our last working mine ran dry three years ago. If he were so clever, why didn't he take
Highgarden the moment your goldmines ran dry? And when Tywin dies, this should spell
trouble on the double for our golden friends. Alas, this ground-breaking event never
comes back to haunt them when, really, it ought to crush them like a tonne of bricks. [thud] On the topic of money. - The Iron Bank will have its due,
how they love to remind everyone. We all live in its shadow,
and almost none of us know it. We owe the Iron Bank of Braavos
a tremendous amount of money. The Iron Bank of Braavos... We owe them tens of millions. I'm not worried about the Iron Bank. We both know you're smarter than that. If we fail to repay these
loans, they’ll fund our enemies. You can’t run from them, you can’t cheat
them, you can’t sway them with excuses… One way or another, they
always get their gold back. These conversations would lead you to believe that the Iron Bank will come down
on you like the hammer of Thor, but this never happens to anyone. After Stannis dies, nobody seeks out Davos, or goes to Dragonstone to collect. [thud] And when Bran takes the Crown, there’s no clarification as to the exorbitant
debts remaining or how to pay them back. - Are you telling me the Crown
is three million in debt? I’m telling you the Crown is six million in debt. How could you let this happen? With Tyrion as head of House Lannister, he inherits the Crown’s debt of over
three million accumulated by Bobby B. - Counting coppers, he calls it. A significant amount was also owed to the Tyrells, but that went away when
the Tyrells were destroyed. And, upon sacking Highgarden, Cersei repaid
whatever the Crown owed the Iron Bank at the time, rookie mistake by the way, and then immediately took another loan to pay for
the Golden Company in the fight against Daenerys. Now, it could be argued that
the Golden Company simply bet on the wrong elephant in that conflict... - I wanted those elephants. ...but the Crown of Westeros is still
the institution that hired them, so a significant amount would
be owed to them by someone. - Ser Bronn of the Blackwater, lord of Highgarden,
lord paramount of the Reach and Master of Coin. (How could you let this happen?) [thud] Hey, who remembers Illyrio Mopatis? - The North kinda forgot. Being a day-one, and Varys’ best mate, Illyrio
seemed like a pretty big deal once upon a time. - If one hand can die, why not a second? The way these two talk, it seemed like they were playing the realm like their
own private game of 5D-Cyvasse, but after season 1, he is
neither seen nor heard of again, not even when Tyrion crashes
at his place in season 5. [thud] Set up from day one, the upcoming winter was
supposed to be the chill of a goddamn lifetime… - Fear is for the long night. - There’s a war coming, Ned. I don’t know when,
or who we’ll be fighting, but I can feel it. - Winter is coming. Eight seasons, nearly a decade in the making… but, in the end, the long night was really
just a dark battle, and winter lasted a good... few weeks at best. Regardless, it would appear that, with their
sophistication and extraordinary patience, the White Walkers would have
some sort of explicit purpose, but that is also never revealed beyond
being a bunch of Frankenstein’s Monsters. For example, there are the
instances of Will in season 1, and Sam in season 2 being intentionally
left alive to warn of their coming. Let me know if you agree with this or not, but this smacks of an elaborate plan to bait
humans into making some sort of mistake, like… No, not sending half the cast on a suicide
mission beyond the Wall, obviously, but… something. [thud] In his first speech as president of
the Iron Islands, Euron says this. - And across the sea, there is a person who hates
the great Lords of Westeros just as much as we do. …and promises to go to Mereen
to seduce Daenerys with his… impressive manhood. Along with my big cock! But, like a true politician, his
promise is quickly forgotten when it’s time to allocate public resources
towards killing his political opponents. Where are my niece and nephew? Let's go murder them. And he soon finds himself courting another queen, which none of his voters
seem to have a problem with. [thud] Quaithe, the mysterious
oracle who turns up in Qatar… - Qarth.
…Sorry, Qarth, is only ever seen by Daenerys in the books, but in the show, Jorah meets her too,
which suggests that she’s a real person. Who are you? I am no one. It is widely speculated that Quaith,
at least in the books, is Shiera Seastar, a Targaryen bastard and lover of
the OG tree-boi, Brynden Rivers, which, if true, could explain her
helping fellow Targaryen Daenerys, but this is something the
show doesn't explore at all. Dare I say it would have been wiser
to simply omit Quaithe instead of her being some half-assed Deus Ex-Machina
who warns Jorah about the warlocks. [thud] Speak of the devils! When they kept coming after Daenerys in season 3, it seemed like the warlocks
of Qarth were here to stay... The warlocks. ...But they totally weren't. [thud] Craster’s baby being carried into an awesome ice castle that I’m dying to know more
about did not need introduction, but since the show went out
of its way to show this, I’m kinda left asking, did these
babies grow up, or forever remain tiny? Do they train in the yard with a master of… ice, and a proud Night King watching over them? And more to the point, are these distinguished… generals, or whatever they are, Craster’s sons? What would Gilly do if she found out
that her niece-brothers are the baddies? Guess we’ll never know. [thud] As I pointed out in Every Error
in Game of Thrones season 6, Ironborn culture is quite thoroughly abandoned as Yara and Theon strike a deal
for independence with Daenerys. - The Iron Islands have never had a queen before? No more than Westeros. - No man gives me a crown. I pay the iron price. That is who we have always been. As if Balon weren't rolling
over in the deep as it were, the same thing happens when Euron sets
out to do Cersei’s bidding to win her favor instead of taking what he came for by force. - We are Ironborn. We take what is ours. Oh, and it gets worse. The deal Yara makes with Daenerys is also
completely forgotten about in the series finale, despite independence being
handed out like charity. - The North will remain an independent kingdom. [thud] After taking back Riverrun from the Blackfish, Jaime installs Edmure as his loyal vassal, but shouldn’t his loyalty at least be tested when Jon and Sansa look
for allies to take back the North? The Tullys were sworn to Rob, so where are they when Jon
is crowned King in the North? And where were they when every sword in the
kingdoms was needed to fight the White Walkers? If the North indeed remembers, I feel like Sansa ought to have
a goose or two to pick with her uncle Edmure at the council in
the final episode, but yeah. [thud] As we know from season 1, Dothraki bloodriders
are sworn to their Khal, in life as in death. - It is known. In the event of their Khal being defeated, they would avenge him, and then join him in the afterlife by suicide. Oh, and they hate witches with a passion.
It is known. It is known.
Kinda forgot. Now, let’s not forget that Daenerys made every
single rider of her khalasar her bloodriders, and, after failing to conquer the world, not only did she fail the prophecy of the
Stallion who Mounts the World for the second time, but no one in her khalasar so much as mentions it, or the fact that they’re all honorbound
to kill Jon, and then themselves. Realistically, with so much power up for grabs, not all would go through with
their mandatory suicides, but there should at least be fighting
over who gets to lead the Dothraki next, most likely resulting in
multiple factions breaking out based on previous hierarchies
from before Daenerys united them. This should also, at least in theory, be somewhat
of a pickle for the new king of Westeros, but since they all conveniently just pack up and
go back to Essos to rape and pillage in peace, Dothraki culture was officially abandoned too. [thud] George R.R. Martin has explicitly said
he won’t explain the magic of his world, including the Lord of Light etc, but what we do know is that… - Only death can pay for life. And while the lives of
Daenerys’ dragons are paid for at the rather straightforward exchange
rate of Drogo, Rhaego and Mirri Maz Dur, Beric Dondarrion’s multiple
resurrections remain a mystery, and no explanation is ever provided. - Thoros, how many times have you brought me back? Five, I think. No, this makes six. It could be argued that his resurrections usually
happen shortly after battles where lives are lost, but this is clearly not the case
when the Hound kills him in season 3. - Lord, cast your light on this servant… [thud] Also, even though Jon’s resurrection
is likely paid for with Shireen’s life, we're left to speculate and
assume this for ourselves without the show actually ever suggesting it. [thud] Ok now this is a super
interesting piece of the puzzle. Everytime I come back, I’m a bit less. Pieces of you get chipped away. But even that is abandoned, as Jon never so much as reflects on the
feeling of being brought back to life, not even when directly asked about it. - How did you survive a knife to the heart? I didn’t? (yaaay!)
[thud] In season 2, the people’s resentment
towards the establishment resulted in an attack on the king by a mob of hungry peasants, and in season 5, the people’s own
Sparrow was elevated to High Septon. - You are the few, and we are the many. But after Cersei blows up the Sept of Baelor,
including many lords and religious leaders, none of this seems to matter to anyone anymore. The good people of King’s Landing,
let alone the rest of the country, suddenly don’t give a damn about their
faith, their food, their lord protectors, and that their supreme house of worship was just
blown up by a tyrant they’ve resented for years. [thud] This also ends the plotline of the High
Sparrow before we learn his true motives. Was he as power-hungry and
ambitious as the rest of them, or was he indeed the humble
servant he claimed to be? Your guess is as good as mine! Also, who leads the Faith of the Seven
after all their leaders were annihilated? Shouldn’t grassroots factions spring up, similar to the Sparrows, or something? [thud] At the end of the show, with
the country rather wartorn, and with more than a few notable houses destroyed, Westeros must surely be riddled with problems. Like, who occupies castles like Storm’s End, and will they simply submit
to the likes of Gendry, a bastard who was legitimized and
given the castle by a foreign invader? And what about the politics
of the Reach after Bronn, a sellsword, who doesn't even know how loans work,
takes over as their lord paramount? - I never borrowed money before. Not clear on the rules. Who takes over the Twins
now that the Freys are gone? Does Sansa appoint someone of her choosing? Does Bran? Does Edmure?? There is land in the Reach, good land. The people that used to live there are gone. Where did those people go? Did they flee, or die? Who manages Horn Hill, and
other important castles, lands and incomes that make the country go around? [thud] In season 3, Warging was made out
to be common amongst the Wildlings. What's wrong with him? What, you've never met a warg? But after Orell’s death at Hardhome, no Wildlings are ever seen to warg again, so they either forgot about the remaining wargs, or chose not to mention how the
last Wildling warg had died, even though that should be a big deal, at least to someone like Tormund. [thud] To quote one of you guys, “Sansa went from the most
obnoxious character in TV, to a sympathetic character who
had been through terrible s***, to the most obnoxious character in TV.” And I couldn’t agree more. Starting out as an annoying little
s*** with princess-syndrome, Sansa soon realizes that all
that glitters ain’t gold, and in season 4, when faced with the
opportunity to throw Littlefinger under the bus, she makes the pivotal
decision to support him instead, turning victimhood into agency. But, after being married off to Ramsey
and enduring another stint of victimhood, she comes out the other side…
how can I put this? - The smartest person I’ve ever met. No, that’s not it. Anyway, by season 7, Sansa is
already back to her entitled ways, only now she’s enjoying the
power trip of being in charge, which I guess we’re supposed to
think is empowering and cool? The point is, her arc of going from
the most obnoxious character in TV to a likable young woman is well and truly abandoned. [thud] Sansa’s marriage to Tyrion was
never annulled and her forced marriage to Ramsay is certainly questionable. So when Ramsey dies, the natural question
becomes, is her marriage to Tyrion back on? Does this mean Tyrion is
technically King in the North now? In any event, regardless of what I think, some lord or another should
realistically have a problem with all this before she gets to
be crowned Queen in the North. [thud] After falling victim of being a character the
showrunners didn’t know what the f*** to do with, Rickon Stark neither gets the funeral nor
the statue in the crypt he’s entitled to. [thud] When it’s time to invade the homeland, Daenerys leaves Mereen in the capable hands
of her favorite mercenary Daario Naharis, but this is the last we ever hear of
Mereen, or Daario for that matter, and we never get so much as a status update. - Piss on that, send a raven! Alas, Daenerys also doesn’t
bring any significant wisdom or experiences from the seasons she spent there, leaving the chronicles of Mereen inconclusive and
painfully pointless in the grand scheme of things. I mean, sure, they ended slavery, imposing
sound western values and all that, but what’s to say slavery didn’t return
the moment Dany left for Westeros? Or are we supposed to believe that the
entire Sons of the Harpy resurgence was quelled by Tyrion’s threat to Yezzan
zo Qaggaz at the end of season 6? - Remind them what happened here when Daenerys
Stormborn and her dragons came to Mereen. (Ooh!)
[thud] In the books, Prince Doran of Dorne
is secretly plotting his revenge on the Lannisters for murdering his
sister Elia and her children, while his brother Oberyn attempted
a more direct kind of revenge. (screaming) In the show though, Doran is a docile pussycat, whose plot for revenge is
abandoned in its infancy, and Doran is eventually killed by Ellaria, who in turn is killed by Cersei… Or is she? While Tyene was poisoned, Ellaria was purposefully kept alive
to suffer for as long as possible. What’s to say she wasn’t still
alive when Cersei lost the capital? (crash) Yes, ok, but it’s not like people
haven’t lived through worse. Also, after the Dornish army is
supposedly destroyed by the Iron Fleet, the inevitable power vacuum that
ought to be Dorne is never addressed. All we get is Dorney McDorneface over here, and although he’s pretty hot or whatever, I’m not convinced! [thud] Last, but definitely not least, what did Podrick do to those girls? Just kidding. Again, not all magic has to be explained. (thud) Thanks for watching this video. I hope you enjoyed me going back
to my usual style of content. Stick around and get notified whenever I post, there will be more Game of Thrones content coming out as we delve into How Game
of Thrones should have ended. Look forward to that! Special thanks to all my supporters
who used the links in the description, you guys are the best sh** in the Seven Kingdoms. Have a great day and I’ll see you again soon!
