house of dayne Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I really like the history and lore series on youtube...the animations are beautiful and the narration by the hbo actors is superb...no new ground is broken but its an outstanding introduction to westeros and the back stories so important to appreciating the story...the art is so good it makes me long for an animated vetsion of d and e or possibly a telling of the dance of dragons...one day maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I'm not sure if they're technically allowed to be on YouTube, copy-write issues and what not. (ETA: But yeah, they're really good. ) Season 5 will include a 20- or 30-minute segment on the history of The Dance of the Dragons. A scene of it can be seen at the beginning of this video.

WalkinDude Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Others have mentioned some good ones, but I'd like to add Rawrist and Tony Teflon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof. Cecily Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Ozzy Man, for the irreverence! New Rockstars, for season 6 Their musical analysis of episode 10 is spot on, and they mention a disquieting detail in episode 9 no one else seems to notice.

The Catelyn ones, for the reasons I've mentioned to you before: -they can't tell the difference between narrative and a character's thoughts -they don't understand third-person, limited POV -and they twist the text so badly to try and make their case that they've essentially rewritten Cat's part of the story Haven't had any major issues with any of their other videos so far, and I'm really liking The Wars to Come series. I don't agree with all of their interpretations, some are pretty thin, but I think they have some really strong points too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphis Baratheon Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Preston Jacobs at least admits in his videos that he's probably wrong about at least half of whatever theory he's giving. Unlike the Order of the Green Hand who label their theories as "clarifications" as if they are all but proven fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therae Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 @Lady Blizzardborn I'm interested! Parodies, too. For my part, I enjoy those more than the analysis/theory videos I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhhhh YES! I don't like listening to some youtubers spouting their half-backen nonsense theories, but I LOOOOOOOOOVE those parody videos. There's also these medleys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY5oBI76sig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH66oTVashY Tywin coming out of the privy to rap always cracks me up X-D And this music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjJf0WqKK1w This Jon Snow isn't the best singer imho (not horrible though), but their Joffrey is MARVELOUS hahahaha.

When you present a theory you should not only give the evidence in the text that supports it, you should also give evidence that doesn't support it and why you THINK it does not matter. For example for their theory that Val is the daughter of Eddard Stark and Ashara Dayne they mentioned her eyes as sometimes grey and Starks have grey eyes. However they don't mention in their description of Val that she has dark honey blond hair. No Daynes or Starks are described as having honey blond hair ever in any books. Then they also put up pictures in their videos of a girl with white Dayne/Targaryen hair to represent Val, they mislead their viewers. The same way they mislead their viewers when they flash pictures of Arthur and Mance saying the same thing, then call the show fan fiction when it does something to disprove their theories. If Val's hair had any white in it Jon would have mentioned it when he lists the other 12 things that were white in his description of Val's appearance.

Sure, but you can't use visual or any other evidence from the show to help prove a book theory then go and say other stuff from the show can't disprove your book theory because its fan fiction. You have to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
