Unbowed, unbent, unbroken and completely surplus to requirements. The Martells were bearable in the books but the Dorne storyline just fell on its ass in the series.

Couldn't believe it when I found out that the actor who played Oberyn was in the first episode of season 4 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer "The Freshman".

can you do house tully or arryn

They where my favorite house….

Can we get a Tarley and Tully symbolism

Tyene was supposed to be extremely resistant to poison like her father… what they did to her in the series was laughable.

This is why I’m a Martell

I disagree and I'm sorry but the CADUCEUS comes from Hermes and it represents commerce. The real symbol that links the snakes to medicine is the Rod of Asclepius. Its a common mistake, but a mistake none the less.

While we loved the Tyrells and hated the Martells, that is another opposite about them.

Poor Elia martell what did she ever do to deserve such a horrible fate, first rheagar humiliated her in front of public and runaway with his lady new wife/love, and hold as a hostage by crazy king/father in law, then she and her kids gets brutally murdered by the mountain who was knighted by her husband, divorced and her kids casted aside and never be heirs, rheagar his such an asshole!

Could you please do a video on house Karstark

I am looking forward to the spinoff of game of thrones. hopefully we see more of this house, if this is a prequel, I hope we see what happened before robert's rebellion. that way we can see elia and rhaegar get married.

House tully?

Do house tarly!!!

So now we only got a few left do we? Tully, Frey, Arryn….. Maybe Karstark or Umber, but I'm not sure if there's enough info about them. I wouldn't know any other houses that could be used….

The Dorne storyline on GOT was a short-sighted, rushed, muddled mess. And no, I was not satisfied when that psycho Cersei got her “revenge.” I wish Cersei was the one who had died in that dungeon. 🙄

If I never hear anything akin to the tired and simplistic "Strong Female Character" trope again, it will be too soon. 🙄🙄🙄

I'm very impressed with the detailed and thorough analysis of the GoT houses in your channel, well produced videos with great additional infographics cut together with clips from the show and illustrations. I really dig the semiotic analysis of the symbols and colors a lot, going to subscribe and look forward to more great work from all of you in the future

You should feature the next Houses:
1. House Tully
2. House Arryn
3. House Frey
4. House Tarly

The show completely ruined the Martell stoyline. I get having to stray a bit but it wasn't even close. And it had so much potential with the source material and good actors playing the roles

Love your videos! Would really like to see House Arryn and House Tully.

Homosexuality completes the powerful man.

3 minutes in and youjust said the excact same thing twice regarding them?

What if rheagar married to lyanna stark of winterfell and never wed elia?
1, the dorne wouldn't be involved in anything because elia never wed rheagar.
2, there would be no robert rebellion, no downfall of the dynasty.
3, Dany's dragons eggs would never hatched.
4, Brandon and Rickard would still alive, rickard southern ambition would still be active and his already got allied with vale, riverland.
5, Ned would have joined a sellsword company in essos. Ned would be the new wandering wolf?
6, rheagar now faces the mad king with lord rickard of the north support and with the vale and riverland.
7, this would shortened the story and it would be boring, no Dany's dragons, no civil wars, no interesting varys secret targaryen restoration, no cersei rise of madness, no tywin's smartness, no dornish masterplan, no tyrion being smart and badass, Arya becoming a badass assassin, we get a peaceful boring westeros?

my heart took FOREVER to heal from oberyn's death, omg. i still actually haven't watched his death because it's TOO MUCH (also wow thanks for inserting clips of it in the video, i had to cover my eyes). i wanted to care about the rest of house martell, but after oberyn and doran's death, it all felt so tacked on

Your right! I have to admit I was with Cersei on this one. I felt girlfriend got what she deserved, it was short-sighted what she did… you have a daughter too, Cersei is not going to spare her… it was as stupid as boyfriend, he had that battle WON but he couldn't stop 'TALKING' long enough to pull a dagger and end The Mountain…JUST KILL HIM! In my opinion, HE HAD ACTUALLY WON! 'Pride goeth before destruction and a haunty spirit before a fall'!

Heya people ! ! ! OMFG section i like this material deeqly vitamin ..

I would love to see a spin off on these people.

Loved it. Though Oberryn was one of my favorites in the whole show

Do house umber or the wildlings.

Ummm..short sighted hubris? That was only oberyn, not characteristic of the entire house. Had no sight of the long game? Look into Doran's character development through the Areo Hotah chapters as well as Arianne chapters. Do your research.

Want to know how show ends? (Show not book) you can t unread it. I'm that sure

Do Hause Arryn

This channel would get an A in highschool english classes.

In the Books the Martells have the Absolute Most Long Game Plan of all !!

Could you do House Tully? Love these vids btw 😊

Interesting how the two house with the "strongest women" are now extinct due to the actions of those very same women.

ok, enough Freud with the egg sperm sun spear

You are wrong that martells are motivitated by small time goals. Doran martell has waited years so that he take his vengance. He is probably the least short sighted man in westeroes

How was Doran incompetent? He kept Dorne healthy and out of bullshit as opposed Ellaria who fucked the country over royally.

If you enjoyed cercie geting her revenge it says a lot about yourself. I liked the martels a lot and wished they had gotten more justice on the show.

I think this isn't your best video at all. They do not have "a high tolerance" of homosexuality. They just don't mind BISEXUALITY. So yeah, there for erasure, as always. And the "short sighted" stuff, well… Jon Snow is pretty short-sighted still king in the north. Also, it wouldn''t matter how much time we had with dorne if it would be as badly written.

How could such a cool character have such a dumbass family?

I feel a hint of feminism in these videos.Unfortunately

Also the Martells are not wiped out even in the show. Oberyn mentions in Season 4 he has 8 daughters. The others are just not shown and by Dornish tolerance of bastards one of them is bound to get legitimized in course of events.

They are my favourite house in the books. How they were portrayed in show is not Dornish at all. Dorne is a formidable power. I will never forgive DnD for this. I hope when they make the prequels they have a story on Nymeria's wars so we can have an actual well developed story around Dorne.
