Couldn't make it through her first video on Season 8, she spent most of the video doing that recent Youtuber thing where they give a lengthy and semi-entertaining recap of something mundane in order to artificially lengthen their videos and game the algorithm.
I need someone to confirm if this is more substantive or not before I commit a lunch break to this lol.
Been watching it, it's a lot more substantiveCouldn't make it through her first video on Season 8, she spent most of the video doing that recent Youtuber thing where they give a lengthy and semi-entertaining recap of something mundane in order to artificially lengthen their videos and game the algorithm.

While I agree that her first video wasn't particularly insightful, it was more of a primer for this video. Anyone who dropped off the show should have everything they need to know going forward. I think. I'm hoping to watch this video soon.Couldn't make it through her first video on Season 8, she spent most of the video doing that recent Youtuber thing where they give a lengthy and semi-entertaining recap of something mundane in order to artificially lengthen their videos and game the algorithm.

Man that's a long video, even for her.
Anyone know if she brings up the question "why didn't HBO just replace D&D as showrunners?"
Back when D&D wanted to jump ship, circa 2014-2015, the show was still very well-received. If it was announced that HBO had forced D&D out and replaced them with someone else because they didn't want to "drag out" the show past eight seasons (obviously we know now they needed more than eight, but at the time people wouldn't know that) the optics for HBO would have been terrible. It would have looked like a moneygrubbing corporation dragging the show out past the creators' intended ending.
There really isn't but the way she lays it out provides a lot of closure.I don't know if there's anything left to say, tbh. We know every how when and why for everything that went wrong.
The hell? Who is saying that? The main female characters in D&D GoT are fuckin terrible. But I mean, so are the male ones.This teardown of Sansa at the start is good, I'm sick of hearing how D&D apparently did right by their female characters with Sansa as a shield.

It was a good point to bring up and shows why Dany suddenly turning into a tyrant was out of left field. She had power and we saw what she did with that power. She was ruthless but she wasn't a tyrantThe video goes into some good discussion on the "absolute power corrupts absolutely" adage and how this isn't really accurate in real life.
Sansa stans, the six people on Earth who enjoyed the final season.
I would argue that Sansa was so blatant in her dislike for Daenaries because she was at home and felt confident in the power she had
But that's nonsense. If Daenerys was the tyrant that Sansa apparently fears she is, she outnumbers the Stark army in the North by several orders of magnitude. Being openly hostile serves no purpose.I disagree with her Sansa and Jamie assessment. I would argue that Sansa was so blatant in her dislike for Daenaries because she was at home and felt confident in the power she had.
I'm glad it seems to be better than part 1, which felt like some rando doing a got video in her style
I guess you are not familiar with the rabid Sansa stan fandom on twitter and tumblr? She's pretty much the most popular female character on the show in terms of fanbases.
But Sansa still needed Dany's help to defeat the dead, right? Her open antagonism towards Dany made absolutely no sense - it made her out to be a spoiled, stupid brat as opposed to the 'smartest person I have ever known!'.
That line about Sansa being the smartest person might be my least favorite line in all of season 8.I guess you are not familiar with the rabid Sansa stan fandom on twitter and tumblr? She's pretty much the most popular female character on the show in terms of fanbases.

But on the show they keep saying that she and her ex husband are the cleverest people on the planet, so I guess you're just wrong. SorryBut that's nonsense.

I really feel like the first part was something that she had to do because of the zeitgeist around the finale, and not something that she wanted to do or was even really prepared for, in terms of having the time to discover the point that she wanted to articulate.I'm glad it seems to be better than part 1, which felt like some rando doing a got video in her style
I felt like I could tell she didn't really want to be doing the part 1 video throughout. She came so late to it anyway, she might as well have just waited until she knew what she wanted to make. Of course there's always the zeitgeist/financial factor which... fair enough.I really feel like the first part was something that she had to do because of the zeitgeist around the finale, and not something that she wanted to do or was even really prepared for, in terms of having the time to discover the point that she wanted to articulate.
A big YouTuber skipping out on the Thrones finale is like a toymaker missing the deadline to get their toys out for the holidays. Regardless of the (very large) financial/promotional incentive she might've had, I'd wager her audience was pushing for it as much as anything and she felt obligated to get something out to sate the thirst.
I agree with thatI'll take two hour-long videos where one is easily skippable than one three-hour video.
Maybe you've already watched it and I am too late, so for that I'm sorry. Because this definitely is not worth the watch (especially sacrificing a lunch break over). Extremely tedious and bad. Also the "lol alcoholism" throughout is pretty gross tbh.Couldn't make it through her first video on Season 8, she spent most of the video doing that recent Youtuber thing where they give a lengthy and semi-entertaining recap of something mundane in order to artificially lengthen their videos and game the algorithm.

I feel like that was a poor assumption in HBO if thats true. I dont know anyone who thought thrones didnt need more time even before the last couple seasons.
Late but great.
And another reason I'm glad I don't watch other YouTubers.
HBO owns the tv rights, not D&D. If they didn't they wouldn't be able to make these spin-offs (it's also, you know, online). D&D's Netflix deal didn't even happen until years after HBO announced the end date for the show. Why this easily fact-checked, completely made-up stuff keeps getting peddled around here, I don't know.D&D have the rights to the books AFAIK, not HBO. Any divorce would have been really messy. Everyone but D&D wanted it to continue. They wanted to get to their mega producer money deal (now with Netflix) faster.
