Season 5 adopting the book is very generous
It was the first of the bad seasons.
Season 4 is where the book plot ended season 5 was where the D&D verse started!

an almost 6hour video 😍 thank you for all your hard work!!! Can’t wait to listen tonight, I’ve read all the books and saw the shows, I listen to these as my bedtime stories 😂

Never forget what Martin says about the butterfly effect, small initial changes can bring huge changes later on. For example in the books jaime never confesses to tyrion about all the wildfire hidden underneath Kings landing and this changes everything, because daenerys could decide to simply burn the red keep and accidentally provoke the destruction of the city because tyrion doesn't know and this would change dany in the books, yes probably a tyrant, yes probably with moments of cruelty, but not a psychopath that literally roasts every single civilian along the road. In the books unlike the show daenerys never burned alive the great masters without being sure of their guilt like in season 5 and she never threatened to raze to the ground qarth like in show season 2 and these are huge changes that in some way can justify the mad queen in season 8. Daenerys in the books clearly says "I'm the blood of aegon the conqueror and maegor the cruel" so she doesnt deny her ruthless and cruel nature of a conqueror, and a certain tyrannical tendency but that's different from being a full psychopath like aerys. So she won't sit on the iron throne, but she will be instrumental in the defeat of the white walkers and the changing of essos unlike the show where she almost does nothing except burning kings landing and going full mad. Martin said that daenerys is controversial character, so that means she must be a complex one, with moments of light and darkness like daemon or aegon the conqueror or maegor the cruel. Another huge change is the complete absence in the show of the Legend of azor ahai nissa nissa, so even jon killing daenerys could happen for different reasons more related to the long night

I don’t see Dany going mad on top of that Cersei I can see going crazy after Tywins death she’s never really the same and she did the walk of shame so she’s definitely angry and probably wanting to burn the people. I do see Dany and a lot of other characters taking a dark turn but danys whole story is meant to help defeat the others not to just kill the others and then burn a bunch of innocents. D&D really did her dirty and folks trying to justify it by stuff they wrote when the books it’s completely different her loneliness and regret is one of the saddest things in her pov chapters. Also why is it that missandeis death had to be the one to be the final push they literally had her put in chains again to be killed like that was really degrading and humiliating.

This is a great video! Thank you so much to everyone involved in the production. I love seeing the accompanying art work which each chapter *chef’s kiss*

32:31 I remember Roose saying to Ramsay that the boots won't last long because he knows full well (don't ask how i knowww! type of thing) that boots made from human skin easily breaks or something along that line

Get ready for Winds of Winter! only half a decade to go!

[brokendreamzyall]

I don't think the books were too dark.... I think the guys at HBO, just like Dumb & Dumber, only scanned through the books instead of reading them and understanding what makes them good.

[DigitalDuelist]

This is good. Was getting ready for bed before starting it. Almost 2am now 😅

[darkelfyarwyck]

Its so intresting to know what we have missed in game of thrones series, i dont get how they could cut all this part about lannister household in the series we dont actually see anyone ruling house Lannister after season 4. Thank you a lot!

[GodzillaX]

Can you imagine the mountain lifting you like the thumbnail? Its like when Batman had his back broken by Bane. Great video!

[BuddsyMalone]

Which videos are the storm of swords videos?

[Wyliecoyte]

You are right that season 5 is the last season that adapts the books. Season 6 makes a few adaptations like the kings moot and the tower of joy.

Stannis looking at title: "Darker."

[palemoonlight]

Must have been such a difficult and demanding to make video, thank you!!

[Milkra]

“Get ready” like we haven’t been for 11 years now

[mjshubham]

Hey... Nice narration 🔆🌱💯... Can you please make a full YT series of Aegon's conquest, starting from Valeria when Targaryens first see the prophecy of the doom Valeria and then continue it from there... Just like the YouTube channel the three eyed raven tried... He did 3 videos but isn't dropping the 4th part of Aegon's conquest, please do it 🔆👑

[xandermarley]

You would get a TON of views if you did audiobooks of All the ASOIAF books. The way you do these videos there’s No Doubt they would be better than the awful audiobooks on YouTube now

[PhilJonesIII]

Wow! That was a ton of work with a lot of detail. Did you get time to eat? Many thanks for this. I'm on my second reading of the series and you videos have filled in a lot of detail I missed or just forgotten. Not an easy read but not put-downable either and it's often difficult to tell what details/characters become important later. Thanks again.

GRRM just procrastinates all the time. I used to defend him but the fact is that we are lucky, if The Winds of Winter will ever come out. There is absolutely zero hope to get to read A Dream of Spring. I've lost all hope, just like I lost it with the show around end of 6th season.
