"A Song of Ice and Fire (commonly abbreviated as ASoIaF) is an ongoing series of epic fantasy novels by American novelist and screenwriter George R. R. Martin. Martin began writing the series in 1991 and the first volume was published in 1996. The story of A Song of Ice and Fire takes place in a fictional world, primarily on a continent called Westeros but also on a large landmass to the east, known as Essos. Most of the characters are human but as the series progresses others are introduced, such as the cold and menacing supernatural Others from the far North and fire-breathing dragons from the East, both thought to be extinct by the humans of the story. There are three principal story lines in the series: the chronicling of a dynastic civil war for control of Westeros among several competing families; the rising threat of the Others, who dwell beyond an immense wall of ice that forms Westeros' northern border; and the ambition of Daenerys Targaryen, the exiled daughter of a king who was murdered in another civil war fifteen years before, to return to Westeros and claim her rightful throne. As the series progresses, the three story lines become increasingly interwoven and dependent upon each other."
"Game of Thrones is an American fantasy drama television series created by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss for HBO. It is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, a series of fantasy novels by George R. R. Martin, the first of which is A Game of Thrones. Set on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos, Game of Thrones has a large ensemble cast and follows several story arcs throughout the course of the show. The first major arc concerns the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros through a web of political conflicts among the noble families either vying to claim the throne or fighting for independence from whoever sits on it. A second focuses on the last descendant of the realm's deposed ruling dynasty, who has been exiled to Essos and is plotting to return and reclaim the throne. The third follows the Night's Watch, a military order defending the realm against threats from beyond Westeros's northern border."

"The Real Euron" would be sick as the next installment in this series.
Not sure if there’s enough book content, but I cast my vote for Margaery.
Yes! You gotta do the real Tywin next!
We must have Rennifer Longwaters!
My favorite thing he does in the books is knighting four random sellswords and absorbing them into his household in Feast, it's incredibly funny and in character for him to take advantage of the fact that knights can make new knights for pretty much no reason.
Hey, I like your videos. Keep it up.
Hey it's Quinn!
@elijahalbiston3105 of course it's quinn, he has to check out on his bf...f
@@giacomoromano8842 wait what
That's hilarious lmfao
The fact that they make him master of coin in the show, despite him not even understanding the concept of dept and borrowing money, is mind-numbing.
Almost as messed up as naming the man with less story than almost anyone, a guy who said he wanted no throne, the King. Bran the Broken is the real villain fr.
@@elijahalbistonno I think Bronn is far worse
D and D kinda forgot about that
They kinda forgot about it.
@@elijahalbistonBran becoming king would at least be a possibility in the books (If they ever get finished) and might even make Sense with the right setup. It could have even have sense in the show with one more season. But Bronn as master of coin ? Absolute bullshit. Minor Lord should be the height of his achievement If he doesn't get assassinated for causing too much trouble.
Book Bron always! Naming Lollys's son Tyrion was just such a Chad thing to do😂😂😂
Bronn’s story in AFFC is one of my favorite story arcs ever, and it’s only made better by the fact that it’s entirely off page
Bronn is the goat
@@jj947 Yeah ASOIAF has some of the best* story development done through gossip.
Fucking legend
Why wouldn't he have named him Tyrion, it was meeting Tyrion that brought Bronn to where he got. It was hanging around Tyrion that got him knighted and made commander of the Gold Cloaks. It was being champion for Tyrion in the Vale that caused Cersei to bride him not to be his champion against the mountain.
I think the biggest part if Bronn's book character is how little he asks for. He takes everything offered, but never once does he try playing the game. For as cut throat as he is, he also is just good at his job. Tyrion offers gold and power, and he takes it. Tywin gives him knighthood. He takes it. Lolles needs to be married. He marries her. Just by being around the winning side and not overstepping, other people are playing the game and dying around him. He just does what other people think themselves above. He isn't held down by pride or honor. When other lords refused to marry Lolles, he did. He is such a shock to the system that he will just walk several lordships
The irony is he is probably the most honorable character in the series. If he says he'll do something he'll do it without any hidden agenda. As long as you keep to the terms and pay him what's owed he will keep his word. Plus you always know where he stands, while others are pretending to be loyal for loyalty sake Bronn makes it known he is only loyal to whoever is paying him currently
He doesn’t wanna be the tallest prettiest flower. He just wants to stay in the garden…
@@emanuelmartinez7267An honorable character that would murder a baby if paid properly. Unless thats just a show thing.
@@alexmartin3143 well that's a morality thing then an honor thing. Nothing in the show or books suggests that if he were to be paid to escort the baby to a different town that he'd take money from a 3rd party to kill the baby instead..... Now if that 3rd party approaches him AFTER he delivered the baby and fulfilled his current contract that's a completely different story lol
Same reasons I like the Boltons so much. They know the score, and they do not care for the rules.
Bronn is actually playing Crusader King in a passive way while everyone else is playing the game of thrones.
My man is on Observer Mode
I really like The Theory that Bronn will end every ASoIaF book in a better position than he was in the last book. Bronn being one of the surviving characters is just a hilarious idea for someone who started as a pretty minor character.
The two characters I want to see keep going till the end of the books, beating all odds are Bronn and Victarian.
That would be typical GRRM irony for you, the guy who had nothing going for him in the beginning ends up getting everything everyone else had. Where do you think he'll end up? Not on the Iron Throne but in a similar position to the show's Master of Coin?
@@elijahalbiston definitely something like that. I don't see him being Master of Coin, due to his obvious lack of knowledge on how debt works, but I can see him being in a similar high power position. Master of Laws, maybe? It's such a nothing position anyways.
Honestly if Bronn lives he will probably be the most powerful man in the Crownlands.
@@John-kd2tc Same here. What's funny is Victarion was supposed to be killed in various drafts and GRRM decided to keep him alive each time. Would be awesome to see a character who GRRM was thinking about killing off a few times end up surviving until the end
Lysa: "You don't fight with honor!" Bronn: "No. But he did." Probably one of my favorite show only lines, really emphasized the major theme that you can't win in this messed up world by being a goody two shoes. I also just love how, in a story filled with magic and dragons and grand politics, some lowborn cutthroat can have as big of an impact as any main character.
But behaving like some bandit won't do you any favors either. Think Tywin Lannister.
@@josephbulkin9222Tywin Lannister *is* “some bandit.”
Only a bandit would massacre thousands at a wedding under the protection of guest right.@@Longshanks1690
Yes but come on, isnt it just obvious? Its kinda corny. The show always try to explain obvious things and it takes away from subtext
it's a bad line because the whole point of a deathmatch is to fight to the death, Bronn fought "with honor" the whole time
Cersei's atempt to kill Bronn is one of the acts of biggest cartoonish incompetence for everyone that took part in the atempt.
She's like kill that dude but makes it discrete. The woman's husband: I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL GOOD SIR
Of all the possible ways to kill him, challenging him to a duel? Just lol That's like trying to take out prime Mike Tyson by challenging him to a boxing match.
@@BlazingOwnagerI was speechless when the guy proposed an honourable duel while expecting a heartless cutthroat to follow the rules. An out of shape former tourney knight against a battlehardened killer. I really don't what was going on in Balman Byrch's head.
All the effort for him to not represent Tyrion as a champion, cos he's so fking good at it loll
@@devvv4616 Sad part is, fiction wise, I think there's a really huge chance he would have won it. He sure wouldn't have made the Viper's mistake and started ranting.
I'm convinced Bronn is a Night's Watch deserter who got REALLY lucky.
Bronn's probably not even his real name
@@prointernetuser Bronn is Benjen confirmed.
Is his real name The Fucking Lizard King?
Unlikely as in the books the Nights Watch oath appears to be magically binding with every deserter in the book series being killed by or with the help of someone from House Stark (except for Mance Raydar who may actually be working for Bloodraven and therefore still ultimately serving the Watch)
@@bannedaccount540 That's BS. It's a normal oath and there is no hint for anything you claim.
Show Bronn has one liners and Jerome Flynn to make him more charming. Book Bronn is a literal gigachad, running through the Game of Thrones like it's a track meet, fucking with everyone in his path.
Heh
Along with bankruptcy, Show Bronn would’ve no doubt faced numerous uprisings in the Reach because of their blood claim to Highgarden. The Tyrell’s faced challenges after Aegon gave it to them, and they had married Gardners. Bronn would’ve been hated, almost certainly, and the Reach would’ve rebelled against the Crown for giving it to an up jumped sellsword.
That was one of the few things in the show that really never made sense, especially with him being the master of coin and not having actual family to hold the seat at high garden. Even if he was there I can't imagine the noble houses being alright with it.. Like they said in the video the twins would make a lot more sense, would provide him with a solid income especially if he continues to hold any other land or titles..
The show just gave up on having any sense of logic by that point
Not defending the show (it went to shit), but wouldnt most of the Reach nobility be kinda dead in the show-Westeros? Killed by Daenerys (like the Tarly) or later by Lannisters during the entire campaign to sack Highgarden? If theres noone to oppose you or horribly weakened, he could possibly last. You dont need to look no further than the post-William english kings. Conquered, butchered and stable (relatively...as far as medieval england goes xD )
The offscreen Hightowers would have definitely made a big fuss out of it considering they were married to the most recent occupant and also have old claims (they joined the Reach via marriage with the Gardeners). We can safely ignore the Florents, they're all but dead in the show and almost in the books.
@@jakubblaha4904Oldtown was never destroyed in the show so the offscreen Hightowers would have still been alive. Also since Olenna did joined Dany, we can assume some of her Redwyne kins were still alive since the Arbor was not shown being invaded (though we don't know how many died when Euron ambushed the Sand Snakes, I'm assuming that was the Redwyne fleet transporting them).
I almost cry when he named the child of Lollys Tyrion. For all the betrayal and last minute switching of sides, he still have Tyrion in mind, thankful for all that he granted him
It's really a very questionable honor to have a child named after you that was potentially fathered by half of Kings Landing without consent and that you implied to plan on killing so your own sons will take its place.
I think Bronn would have stood up for Tyrion if his opponent had been anyone but the Mountain.
Or maybe he just really wanted to piss off Cercei.
@@jamesbrice3267 I think that even in the show they got that right. Bronn is smart and not afraid to play dirty, but the mountain is juat to strong. Tyrion had the luck of finding someone with a literal blood vendetta against him, and even he lost.
I really wish you’d mentioned that Tommen offered to send baby Tyrion a kitten. One of the funniest and most innocent lines in the whole series.
Aw
“A substandard cat” killed me. 🤣
He worked for one. In the Vale.
The bad POOHsay😭
The idea of an omniscient magical hive-mind essentially naming someone the Secretary of the Treasury just because he really likes money is one of the funniest concepts the show ever came up with.
D&D were not cooking with that one. They were ordering in.
2:04 Haven drinking Lysa milk 💀
Thanks for pointing it out, i gonna remove my eyes now.
Nice!
I hate u for this
Show Bronn was fun at first but the writers really went overboard in trying to him more relevant that it just got ridiculous
They did the same to Ellaria coz of how good Indira Varma was and they ended up butchering the character.
@@nunyabiznes33they made show Ellaria the antithesis of her book character. When I first read about the ASOIAF version, I refused to believe they were meant to be the same person.
I actually wished they used him more I love his character and interactions with Jaime and Tyrion. He’s the man
In a room sit three great men, a king, a priest, and a rich man with his gold. Between them stands a sellsword, a little man of common birth and no great mind. Each of the great ones bids him slay the other two. ‘Do it,’ says the king, ‘for I am your lawful ruler.’ ‘Do it,’ says the priest, ‘for I command you in the names of the gods.’ ‘Do it,’ says the rich man, ‘and all this gold shall be yours.’ So tell me-who lives and who dies? Bron is the man with the sword.
The king. The rich man can only Offer gold, gold that will belong to him in any case after death. The holy man can only give promis of salvastion in the next live but that assumes he is truly in favor with his god and his god is real. The king can hrant titels and honours.
I got to defend my boy a little with the “Doesnt understand Debt” stuff. As a Sell Sword who deals with being paid and negotiating terms I am very sure he understands the concept of borrowing things. I always took the scene as Bron asking questions to make Tyron say out loud how silly it all is. You are borrowing money to but things you cant afford with a pinkie promise to pay it all back with extra money or else you get upset. Bron knows anyone will be hard pressed to take King’s Landing and that it is damn near impossible with an army supporting it. So I always felt he was saying “Fuck the iron bank. What they going to do?” Bc Bron believes Might Makes Right.
“A Wolf in sheep’s clothing” Wow! I never saw Bronn in that way but that’s REALLY accurate! His “wolfish” smile and his “sheep” sigil as Lord Stokeworth… GRR Martin is a genius in writing and so are you!
Bronn is one of my favorite characters in ASOIAF, I love to see this sellsword rise to a lord pretty sick hopefully he survives.
That 'a wolf in sheep's clothing' line went hard.
More like a wolf in wolf's clothing. Bronn is a freaking badass and with all his accomplishments, he would surely be seen as such too in-universe
It works because he is said to have a wolfish grin and literally is the head of house stokeworth whose sigil is a sheep
I like to think that lolys baseborn kid to bron will be just as much of a rugrat to him as his own eventual kid with lolys. Him not having any other lords preconceptious biases probably means that he'll treat whatever progeny he might have with lolys no different than her bastard.
Bronn will probably kill the kid or lolys hes a psychopath But i do like to imagine despite his cutthroat nature hes nice to lolys and raises the boy as his own
@@okloshbrokla8154Nah, he doesn't need to kill her, all the contrary if she's alive he has more legitimacy. And she being an airhead means he can do whatever he wants as long it doesn't goes directly against major lords (and even so he still named the child Tiryon).
@@fran3ro Just wanna add to what you said... He doesn't need to kill the kid either. That kid is bastard so unlike Bronn's own kids lil Tyrion won't have any legitimate claims to whatever his step-dad manages to get from The Game. Furthermore naming the child Tyrion suggests that Bronn will take care of the boy. I can see him training lil Tyrion to be a very deadly knight that eventualy ends up as ser Tyrion Tanner member of the Kingsguard.(which would ensure the "no legitimate claim" even better)
@@stopkins222Yes, I was going to add that too, but I decided not to for some reason haha.
Jerome Flynn was excellent but Bronn was one of many, many characters who the writers clearly didn't know what to do with.
When the writers followed the books (and had books to follow), they were fine. Once they deviated or got ahead of the source material, they were in trouble. The best improvement the show made were the scenes with Tywin and Arya. Aside from that, too many shortcuts, omitted characters, and composite characters.
@michaelbayer5094 grrm even said he liked some things they did in the show better. And I think he even said he'd change those characters to match. Until yeah, they ran out of materiel
Frankly , I kind of hope Bronn ends up truly falling in love with Lollys .Would be really cute and a welcomed surprise for such a ruthless mercenary .
"substandard cat" 😂 If I wasn't already subscribed, that line would be the reason to hit the button lol
Im def a book Bronn guy, but I do love the actor. He was one of many great performers chosen in the show!
Also Egan V Bronn, such a damn good fight. My boi nearly did him in too in spite of his age.
Show Bronn is definitely a fun character, but the book version is just such fucker. One of my favourite scenes with him, that illustrates his true colours is this one: After Ned and Robert are dead Cersei is sending out goldcloaks to murder Robert's bastards, and Tyrion ends up dealing with them pretty harshly and seems genuinely horrified at their actions, and he asks Bronn "Would you do that? Rip a child from it's mothers breast and kill it without question?" and Bronn pauses for a bit and says "Without question? no. I'd ask how much (will you pay me for it)" I'm paraphrasing the exchange but you get the idea.
the thing i love about bronn is that he isnt playing the game of thrones like everybody else hes playing the ''make bronn richer'' richer game so he always tends to benefit no matter who wins the over all game of thrones
I feel Bronn in the show aligned really well with the Bronn in the books up till the third season. Then he fell into the "protagonist hole" we later found Tyrion in, where any darkness and cruelty that should have been shown was neglected for instead being clever and vaguely charming.
had they went with a proper grey tyrion showwatchers would think hes meant to be a villain and be confused when he bounces back, even book readers got a bunch of small heads who thinks hes evil and is gonna burn KL because they miss the point of Penny, the slaving arc, the subversion of the evil vizier trope that he represents, and how all the protagonists are going through similar darker arcs and only read the first half of adwd or saw some wiki resume, but these are the same people that think Cersei is smart, Stannis is religious or that Bronn getting the Reach made sense
Bronn naming Lollys's bastard after Tyrion just to fuck with Cersei is still funny, even after all these years.
I think I prefer show Bronn because: 1)We get more of him 2) He has pulled off some interesting actions (like the Trial by Combat) 3) The actor is charming, even when he doing morally grey things and 4) I like his singing. But I must say, Book Bronn has his own charm, after all. Like naming the kid Tyrion was a brilliant and hilarious move.
The trial by combat is pretty much straight from the books. Book Bronn isn't as charming because he's meant as a monster. Not an anti-hero, or a grey character but a pitch black murderer.
@@Evilanious while true, it's one thing to read the trial by combat and it's a completely different thing to SEE it. They hit a bit differently. Show Bronn is charming because the actor they hired is charming, even when he's doing downright terrible things. I get the point of book Bronn. That wasn't the question. The question asked was which do you prefer. So I answered and gave a bit of reasoning why.
“Substandard cat”
Babe wake up new Fantasy Haven just dropped
"Substandard cat" has me weak 😭😭
That "Wolf in sheep clothing" at the end was really good bro
Ah yes, the substandard cat. We all love those. We strive to acquire those.
You want the good writing but you crave the substandard cat. 🤣
Your Highgarden joke make me wonder if giving Broom the twins will not in fact be something that happens in the book. It double a castles(the twins are two castles), the Frey are so hated no one is gonna object(except any fry that might still be alive but they don't matter), and it suite him as a sell sword extorting i mean extracting toll from passers.
One battle feat to note, In the battle of the greek fork bronn fought off 3 soldiers at the same time.
The actor that played Bronn really brought the character to life. He god damn embodied that character. Unfortunately his story in the show got stupid. I want to say that I prefer how the show portrays Bronn but I don't prefer what the show DOES with Bronn. Of course that's a given. Because I love how the show portrays every character (euron withstanding), but I hate what they do with all those characters.
Brings new meaning to the story Varys tells Tyrion. The one about the three powerful men, and the sellsword.
I’m listening to read through of A Clash of Kings and the reader does voices/accents for the characters and his Bronn voice is a Texan Accent and honestly I can totally see it. Bronn would be a great cowboy. 👍 Love Bronn & Tyrian.
I never thought about this but Bronn becoming a key crownsland lord might just be my favorite potential storyline now
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. The girl I was going to marry left me and I still haven't found the will to live, but your videos are making me laugh for the first time in weeks, and it means more than you can imagine. When you said "sub-standard cat" I had to pause for a full minute. Cheers mate
Thanks very much :D I'm glad you enjoy my stuff. Stay strong mate, it always gets better. Take care
your videos and the gm guy one are some of the best asoiaf content in years, we really needed some breath of fresh air in the community, after many creators left and scandals like that david lightbringer one got caught with old soc media posts lusting for book dany and book lyanna (both 14) and ignoring the community bad apples many ran out of insight to give, your videos are shorter yet better edited and focused than the alt shift guy too. Tho I like his Jon video.
Thanks :)
Bronn is one of my favorites. Smart, sassy, honest, and deadly.
I always felt like Bronn is the "common sellsword" in Varys's riddle. He represents basically all the soldiers on all sides of all wars. Power is where he believes it is. He took Caitlyn Stark's offer. He served Tyrion Lannister. He took Tywin's Knighthood. He took Cersei's bribe. And who knows who else he may serve before the end. He had been avoiding playing the game of thrones and simply keeping his head down, serving powerful people to the best of his ability, and reaping the rewards from those associations, but now that he is a lord, he may begin overstepping and trying to raise his own station further. The answer to the riddle changes depending on circumstances, but given enough power, the answer is to kill all 3 great men and become the great man yourself.
"The Winds of Winter are approaching"
They really aren’t.
Substandard cat will never stop being funny
Ooh I'm loving these videos. This is such an unique niche mix of animation and essay type writing.
I thought for sure if anywhere Bronn would be given The Twins in the show. It makes sense to me with Bronn being able to enjoy getting the toll people need to make the crossing between the North and Riverlands and Bronn can get his fingers in every lucrative racket available
6:31 that has to be my favorite part of the video which fantasy haven being like “he will surly be given the twin that Arya depopulated” then when Tyrion said High Garden he was like “wait what, wtf?” That made me spit out my drink and have a good laugh hence he played the “wait wait wait wait” clip as well 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I totally forgot about Maegor the Third (a classic Mace the Ace moment) and now I see that there is a whole Wiki page about this fact which is wild. But to be honest, I always liked the speech Tywin gives to Tommen and the story about Orys the First just sounds cool. Lorewise it isn't far of a stretch to assume that he was a Storm King from before the Conquest but otherwise I am the last one to defend D&Ds later writing choices.
I do vaguely recall a Storm King during the Andal Invasions, who formed a so called Weirwood Alliance with the Children of the Forest, and was murdered by his brother who joined the andal faith and turned against the children. That guy might have been an Orys, but I’m not sure. Was a pretty just guy though, to ally with a non-human species rather then convert & reap the benefits. And he was murdered by hid own brother. Other then that; yeah duck D&D. Never in all 7 hells would anyone name their kid Maegor after King Maegor ruled his cruel reign
True ending: "There's nothing in the world more powerful than a good story. Nothing can stop it. No enemy can defeat it. And who has a better story than Bronn the Sellsword?"
Bronn is a upjump sell sword. Not an insult just a fact. And he is doing a great job at building his coppers and army Show bronn had issues as him and cerise had....issues to say the least so they couldn't be near each other. Book version fights dirty. Takes eveey opportunity he can get and is working it like marrying the noble woman and getting soldiers to build his group. I doubt he cares for tyrion and named the child as an insult but cersie missed it and if Tyrion comes back he may switch sides onky because he follows the gold
Yeah, apparently it was in the contract that Jerome and Lena can't be in the same scene together, hence Bronn going out for a walk during the Dragonpit meeting.
@@nunyabiznes33 it's funny considering he is close to Tyrion and Jaime aka her brothers
"Wolf in sheeps clothing" Panther would fit better as Bronn is said to be cat-like in his way of movement. Also the Stokeworth Sigil being a sheep.
It’s really visible how the quality of videos improves every time. Great animations and background!!
Thanks!
Thanks for that also he is very underrated for his Comic genius. The Guy consistently cracks me up. Keep the vids rolling. Love your work.
OMG, I didn't know I needed this in my life! ty for the content.
I love him in the show but was always confused about the sort of things he was always asking for… Highgarden, for instance, just seemed an insane request. He was a single sell-sword, not some noble with an army and a plausible claim.
It also makes me wonder, would he even want such a massive responsibility? Like, being a knight, cool. Owning a castle, sick. Having to regulate the entire economy of Westeros? Would he even say yes to that? He is ambitious and an opportunist but he doesn't seem the kind to just take a job he is wildly unqualified for simply because it's a high stature position.
"What you need is a substandard cat" 😅
Bronn, the man who didnt know how Simple Interest worked for most of his life becomes Master of Coin. Gods be good how this show lasted so long with those two doofuses is a mystery for the ages
I would love it if Bronn pulled a Lann the Clever by forming his own house and it surviving the series. House Blackwater has such a ring to it!
Lol I forgot about Tyrion’s doubling counter offer. I can totally see bronn ending up at the twins afterwards. He would make a good toll booth manager.
In my opinion Bronn won the game in at least the show. We shall see in the books
Alright fine, I'll read the books. You win Fantasy Haven. I'm going to go find the first edition of the first novel and see where this dank character arc goes.
Wow what happened. This really blew up. good for you
Incredible character. Amazing acting in the series too. What a man!
if you’ve ever played mount and blade warband he’s basically every starting character ever (except for the noble start)
The Twins not happening was somehow worse then so many issues with season 8
Bronn saving Jamie from drowning was the greatest plot armor ever,,,😮😢😂 I’ll just leave that right here….
Bronns out here being an RPG protagonist
Hail my great Lord Haven! Awesome videos as always the animation and drawing, u have really gotten good at that plz dont stop continuing advancing your craft, the animation was moving a bit to quick at times just thought u should know not hating.
5:30 "substandard cat" had me rolling. your videos are hilarious
An excellent script, cheeky and eye catching artwork, and a sultry voice narrating it all 😏 ALL HAIL FANTASY HAVEN
Thanks!
" Where'd yah learn that? Fancy Lad School? " 😂
Book Bronn for sure, I find his story far more interesting. Thanks for the great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ma king has returned 🎉🙏👑
I like when a video starts "In the first 4 seasons."
Glad someone made a dedicated Bronn video!!! 👏
🙏
Show and Book version of Bronn are my two favorites.
I like that they showed him being kind to Lolly in the show at least. Every time she was mentioned in the book it was almost always dismissive coz of how slow she is.
Yo this is Westerling from Baseborn; really admire you.
Show Bronn is more fun. The best dialogue changes in the show, were between bronn and Tyrion. Gave the series great comic relief. That said book bronn seems to be on track for better use. He’s a great example of the street smart wisdom trope.
Hey man, great video as always. Are you still planning a video of all religions and cultures of the ck3 mod?
He was describing what Bron did in the later seasons and I realized I remember almost nothing of it, maybe I suppressed it from my memories
When cercei try to kill him with that one dude and he killed him and then named his child Tyrion in the books just to piss her off I fucking lost it
Absolutely lolled at "substandard cat".
Bronn is one of my favorite characters. Truly underrated.
I liked show Lollys and was disappointed we didn't see her again. Now I'm even more disappointed, knowing what could have (should have?) been. By the way, the expression is "pride _goes_ before the fall," with "goes" meaning "goes away, departs," which is one of those fun facts most people don't remember anymore, but it actually makes more sense that way if you think about it. People get all humble when they know their position is in jeopardy.
just as an aside, Bronn deciding 'who sits the Iron Throne' fulfills Tyrion's answer to Varys's riddle about power I just realized something, if we take everything at face value and apply information we know... Cersei (in the show) in an effort to screw over Bronn gave Lollys to a Bracken... so potentially the heir of Stokeworth is married to a Riverlander who was recently an enemy. Smart...
Wait, they seriously made Bronn Master of coin in the show?? 😂🤣🤣 Edit: (now further along in the video) Wait, wait, wait, I must have missed heard you. Did you just say they made Bronn Lord of frigging Highgarden & Lord Paramount of the Reach!?!? Ya, I'm sure the other houses of the Reach would be totally fine with that! 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤣🤣
She had seen Bronn fight on the high road; it was no accident that he had survived the journey while other men had died. He moved like a panther, and that ugly sword of his seemed a part of his arm.[4] -thoughts of Catelyn Stark
Bronn is THE MVP. It would be cool if he had a POV chapter
"the winds of winter are approaching" yeah, nah. No sign of that happening yet.
"Substandard cat" 😂
Bronn of the books was so much better,even if we haven't seen much past "Feast". The part with Cersei sending Ser Balman after him, only for Balman to challenge him and for Bronn to torture him before overthrowing Falyse was just epic. Show version just had him tagging along with Jaime to try to make him seem relevant, even though his only point was to make quips and quotable moment(and disappear whenever his ex Lena Headey was in a shot.)
Do more of these comparisons!
Sure thing 🫡
