Game of Thrones – Jorah vs Qotho

If only Qotho was allowed to kill the witch, things would've turned out better than they did. Rhaego would probably lived, and Drogo would be spared, but prob die of the infection.

Horselord? More like scrublord.

Kicked his fookin ass

"No further, faglord"

What happened to Khal Drogo's other two bloodriders??

I mean, Qotho was kind of dumb for staying there. Leave the damn weapon and evade dude!

What is the name of the music in the background?

Thats why a knight is superior.

That's the dude from scorpion in the back… wow didn't notice that until now.

Jorah won because he got armor and a big fucking sword!

Knights in armour will always prevail. The Mountain would cut Khal Drogo in half.

"No further, horselord" is one of my favourite and definitely one of the most badass moments so far.

Why you wear armour

The sad thing is, how right was that horselord?

Can someone who knows about armor tell me what that "skirt" like thing Jorah wears by his legs are?

Plot armor at its best lol.

"D'you wanna know how I got these scars?"  😀

QOTHO IS FROM DENMARK, MY COUNTRY <3

A few silly things.
#1 That hit actually would not have killed Quotho. It did not reach far enough back behind the mouth. The pain would have been enough to finish him, though.

#2 In nearly all Game of Thrones (TV) fights there's one ridiculous omission: there's no shield. In the books this omission is not present, but there's apparently someone out there in the GoT costume design team who thinks people must fight with one-handed swords and no shields. This is ludicrous. Also, all the arrows are flaming for no reason whatsoever.
Had Jorah had a shield it would have been even less of a match. You don't pit an armoured knight against a savage.

If Drogo just let Qotho fight Mago in the beginning then none of this would have happened.

Qotho could have easily beat Jorah if he was aiming for the head.

Armour vs speed

FIGHT!!!

Armour for the win!

Armour one.  Speed zero.

(Of course its 1-1-1 because of Ser Vardis vs Bronn & The Viper vs The Mountain)

There isn't one Khal for all the Khalasars, there's a Khal for each one. Khal Drogo was the strongest of them all, and I believe had the biggest Khalasar. In the books it's mentioned, when they go to Vaes Dothrak, even the Khalasars that are at war with eachother, feast and drink with eachother under the mountain god. Because you can't shed blood in Vaes Dothrak. d:

shotel casul get wreced, surprise u didnt flip u fuckign faggt

How many khals are there? Are Drogo the most powerful of them?

That is some fucked up shit going on in the tent.

I agree. The comment you replied to was only directed toward what 'The Chosen One' said, which was pretty irrelevant to the argument Subr Subrr was making.

Bronn understood the advantages and weaknesses of the full plate armour. Qotho was an arrogant prick who really hadn't a clue about either.

I'd say that Bronn won through strategy and planning, rather than any particular display of agility. Qotho relied exclusively on agility and reflexes, and lost when Jorah exploited the advantages of his armour.

The common point in both fights isn't the abilities of the winner, but the fact that the loser refused to think.

That isn't the point. He defeated someone wearing a 'steel dress' with nothing but agility and reflexes.

Shame. I liked Qotho better than Drogo, honestly.

Bronn had a straight sword, not a curved one.

Also Jorah's armour was perfectly suited to defend against the weapon Qotho is using. Qotho's sickle-like weapon is only good for slashing, something which Chain mail and plate armour are very strong against (force of attack is spread out through the links and cannot pierce).

On the other hand Bronn wields a sword which (suitable for slashing and stabbing) and directs his attacks at weak points in Vardis' armour (the killing blow is a thrust straight through his unguarded neck/shoulder area)

In the book, Mormont only won out of luck. He didn't catch Qotho's sword. It lodged in his bone.

It's a fantasy series don't take it too seriously lol

Its not definitive. Remember Bronn vs Vardis? Jorah did not wear a helmet and he had no shield, he was smart and dressed to an optimum level of speed and armour. Vardis went overboard on armour, he had chain-mail and plate-mail and a shield and a helmet.

Also remember this is one on one, in a battle of tens of thousands the speed and agility win. Robert also admitted Westeros fighting styles are no match for Dothraki hordes.

The difference is that Bronn understood the weaknesses of armour, that its faceplates constrict breathing (most armour weighs about 40-60 pounds, that's less than standard military equipment in the present day).
Bronn realized that if he kept his movements to a minimum and dodged as needed, he's outlast his foe.

Conversely, Qotho relied on exertion rather than either skill or energy conservation. He played to his foes advantage, and thus deserved to die like the fool he was.

If it helps, knights also had their armour custom fitted to them, so it was less like wearing a tank, more a suit made of steel.

Bronn wears a scalemail above a gambeson.

Probably has more to do with experience. Qotho has been fighting other dothraki or lightly armored sellswords. Bronn knew how to fight men in full plate, he'd been doing it all his life. Also, remember, the fight was in the Eyrie, at high altitude. Vardis Egen would have tired quicker than Jorah

anyone else REALLY want an arach now

You can't just outright say that heavy armor > no heavy armor.
For example, when fighting high up in the mountains, people are lightly armored, because no matter how fit you are, hauling heavy armor up the hill will leave you exhausted and you wont be able to swing a sword for a long time. Also, even armored knights have weak spots (wait until season 4) Im not saying no armor is better, Im just saying its a complex topic.

The debate about the heavy armor vs no armor is a joke, a talented knight dressed in plate armor would be trained and used to wear it and it's a obvious thing that a knight would have had a great stamina during his lifetime practise in armor. In a real duel 1v1, a foe wouldn't stand a change against a fully armored knight 😛
