It looks like white walkers are the big threat to Westeros in Game of Thrones Season 8 – and one of the only things that can stop white walkers are Valyrian steel swords. Where are all the Valyrian blades in Westeros, and how might they play into the future of Thrones?

    FAQ: - Wights (zombies) can be killed with fire, but we've never seen a white walker (icy blokes) killed by fire - only by dragonglass or Valyrian steel - Yes, in the real world, longswords are longer than bastard swords. But in ASOIAF, bastard swords are longer than longswords. (Jon VIII, AGOT) - Yes, in the tv show, Tywin hires a Volantene smith to reforge Ice. But in the books, it's Tobho Mott. (Tyrion IV, ASOS) - Yes, in the tv show, Brienne names Oathkeeper. But in the books, Jaime names Oathkeeper. (Jaime IX, ASOS) - No, Arya's sword Needle is not Valyrian steel. It's regular steel forged in Winterfell. - No, the Iron Throne isn't Valyrian steel - Yes, Dawn is cool as fuck, but it's never referred to as Valyrian steel. Yall can stop commenting about this stuff now 😶

    "Joffrey uses his sword to slay...a book, and then...a pie...and then he dies." lmao
  • @petefarx1882
    The most powerful weapon against white walkers: unfathomably bad writers.
  • @Kriosaivak
    Honestly, the idea of Tywin not only reforming Ice into two Lannister swords, but also dying it red so that it can never be remade, is sadder than some deaths to me. The death of a long tradition for House Stark. :(

    "the night that never ends" It ended withing 60 minutes
  • @oliverwarren1074
    Ah, back when we thought the show was still reaching for this level of complexity.
  • @elpeacecarter
    Who's here after the battle of winterfell realizing none of this matters
  • @scorpio594
    10:00 "This is why we need a Game Of Thrones prequel movie, guys" Even better, we got a TV show.
  • @SCCH286
    "Certainly XX will have implications later in the show" "Possibly YY will tie the present and the past in a very cool way" "ZZ can be an important plot point in the final seasons" Well, here we are.
  • @JeremyEricson
    "Widow's Wail is now the only known Valyrian sword in the city of King's Landing, so it surely will come in handy sometime." Yeaaahhhhh... no.
  • @aurelia8028
    Man the most impressive thing about the GoT series is just how many characters there are and how George manages to write little details about all of them to make them stand out and be their own person. Like with the smith who melted down Ice. I doubt any other author would've bothered giving him a name.
  • @Arcian
    9:58 "This is why we need a Game of Thrones prequel movie, guys." HBO: "We'll do you one better."
  • @70BTHS
    So in short, every time Alt Shift says something like "It's not clear how (insert sword) will tie into the show" just insert the Narrator saying " it won't "
  • @Zain12131
    You are the definition of quality over quantity. Bravo sir.
  • The Night King probably walked into Westeros thinking, if I die, at least it’ll be memorable and a satisfying conclusion to years of waiting and countless fan theories.

  • @arnoldherm1594
    A whole video about swords, but turned out to be a knife
  • @phunkym8
    man these videos should have aged well but the writing of season 8 shits on everything. every theory you made a video about makes so much more sense than what we got in the show
  • @bonky8043
    Its kinda weird how Dany kept her ~8000 unsullied for so long. Im sure that more of them died during the battles, considering the final episode where she has her entire army there, it looks quite sustained in numbers even though many died. Also, in the second last episode, it was made clear that the lannisters had 20 000 golden company soldiers yet the unsullied looked like they had more than them...
