A deep dive in Game of Thrones season 5 where I analyze all of the devoid of logic aspects and overall flaws of the writing. From Stannis' butchered arc, the absurd dorne plot, and Littlefinger's character getting ruined. I cover it all babbyyyy.

  • I have 3 things to say: 1. I really want to remaster the Season 7 Devoid of Logic video since it's a measly 8 minutes long and I've grown a lot as a creator since then. 2. The music in the description is more detailed and I'll start listing out tracks I even use from Epidemic Sound. As a side note, Kara's Main Theme from Detroit Become Human is objectively one of the best songs from a video game soundtrack. 3. I also got engaged :) I put a pic in the discord announcements if you're interested. 4. I jumbled Ellaria and Elia my b. They're practicallyyyyy the same :)
  • Stannis' arc was the first sign of what was going to happen. Protagonists being stupid, long arcs ending anti-climatically and villians randomly succeeding at whatever they try.
  • The biggest flaw was Stannis killing his daughter. I quote "It is not a question of wanting. The throne is mine, as Robert's heir. That is the law. After me, it must pass to my daughter, unless Selyse should finally give me a son. I am king. Wants do not enter into it. I have a duty to my daughter. To the realm. Even to Robert."

    Loras is a noble and a knight he'd have servants who would bring him clothes in the morning and some would probably help him bathe. Everyone in highgarden should know about his birthmark really.

    Season 1-4: Peak Television Season 5: Beginning of devoid of logic Season 6: More devoid of logic Season 7: More devoid of logic Season 8: Do I even need to explain?
  • 14;54 the Barristan actor complained about being killed off during the dragon pit scene, because his character becomes a POV character in the latter books, D&D didn't like how much he understood about the books and the character and decided to kill him off in the dragonpit, then he complained so they killed him off even earlier in that hallway fight. For that is how petty D&D are.

    They didn’t run out of books when making season 5. They consciously abandoned the published books to make their jobs easier.
  • I am SO glad someone made this video. I'm tired of people talking about "season 8 is where GoT went downhill." No... it was way before that. In my humble opinion, GoT went downhill the moment Tyrions trial ended and he left king's landing. Not saying anything about the scene itself, just that that marked the end of sensible storywriting. If we really dug, we could find early signs even before that. But Tywin's death, and Tyrion fleeing king's landing was really the true beginning of the end in my book.

    Also if Stannis is supposed to be king and continue his family’s line, wouldn’t killing his only surviving heir defeat the whole purpose of that since she won’t be able to continue the line? They really did stannis dirty
  • @Commenter5651
    The acting performances are so phenomenal that it masks a lot of writing problems in the show. However, by the end, there was no hiding or distracting from it.
  • @mrsnulch
    13:35 is in the books actually. Melisandre says "you know nothing Jon Snow" to him at the end of a chapter in Dance with Dragons, it wasn't invented by Dave and Dan. The implication isn't necessarily that she can talk to the dead, more that she can see his deepest desires and memories.
  • @amiryousef2153
    Why doesn't anyone talk about how stupid and unrealistic is was for Sansa to live with the Boltons who murdered her brother and mother.
  • @s.w.d4010
    The whole Loras “trial” and the only evidence against him being that his squire knows that Loras has a birthmark on his upper thigh was so stupid!! He is a squire!! Squires help their lords undress and dress all the time! It’s literally their job. So why would it be shocking that Oliver knew about Loras’s birthmark???

    Arya in the brothel hawking oysters is basically the equivalent of a hotdog man at a ball game just kicking the door in and yelling HOTDOGS GET YA HOTDOGS HERE!! While youre midthrust
  • @ToxicBanana
    I keep on thinking "it's been 5 years, I should move on" but then another one of these videos pop up and I'm reminded of my disappointment.
  • The greatest twist of Game of thrones is the reveal of David and Dan being Dumb and Dumber
  • @firestar4407
    Just by hearing the "but you need da bad pussay" line, I knew this show was doomed to fail.
  • @TheClem9779
    Cersei was not lying to Cat about the first child dying: she repeats the same story with Robert in S1 (the one where they discuss their marriage and hate for one another), so that cannot be a lie.
