How to kill your main character: Game of Thrones & Vikings [video essay]

Hey subfuries! I really want to do more video essays and writing videos like this in the future. What do you think? Let me know your thoughts below. below.

Can you do more animated videos? The animation style is really cute.

If you like Game of Thrones, you'll like HBO's Rome

Vikings!

Gurren Lagann does it better X)
(Kamina ftw)

This kinda makes me think about the shift in protagonists that is occurring in Star Wars. The original series focused on Luke, then shifted to Anakin, and now it has shifted to Rey. By the time we were familiarized with our new protagonist, Luke was still around, but SPOILERS we were ready for the clean break that would occur in his death during TLJ. Same thing applies to Han, and inevitable, Leia.

Sure, we were sad when the old protagonists died, but we still had this plethora of new protagonists to follow as each original protagonist has been killed off. These new guys sort of took up the mantles of the original trio without being carbon copies of them. And in my opinion, it was really well done.

Keep doing these video essays. They're amazing, and I really enjoy listening to your critiques. You are very insightful.

So like telltalegame's the walking dead season1?

I like this direction it really stands out you should do this for breaking down books and other forms of media.

Also do a battle video…

Spyro vs Tim

More, please! #💖it

i found this video incitful and hope that i can use its lessons to make me a better writer

or turn your protagonist into a villain

…like vader

Hello, fellow Kiwi. KAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. I love how you do theory because there are not many people who do the stuff that you do so stay original unlike our kangaroo cousins (We made the pavlova).

You should read the Stormlight Archive by Branson Sanderson.

The problem GRR had, and one thing I'm surprised no one has really brought up anywhere, is that he forgot to make any of his characters besides Ned actually likable. He's made some of them sympathetic, mostly by making them less monstrous than the majority of the cast, but some readers (like me) saw through that, and put down the book shortly after Ned's death. He may not be the only protagonist, but he was the only hero, the only one (barring some of the children, because they are still children) who was redeemable, or even that compelling.

ALL HAIL MISHKA KAWWWWWWWWWW! From your neighbor, Australia

me too, i love historis and histori

This is amazing please do more of this

I like the visuals

Guys race to the edge is com ki ng 16th febuary !!!!

This is very, very interesting and gave me some great insight. Great video!

This reminds me of overly sarcastic productions

I don’t think Ned Stark is the protagonist of GoT the closest thing we have is john snow real name Aegon Targaryen ( watch the show) or deanarys

whats the point of giving a spoiler warning if you know that the spoiler is about the death of the main character?

Do a video essay on the MCU! Keep up the great work

YES! LOVE! MORE!

d-did you draw that ITS AMAZING

This is amazing! Your analysis is very clear and has given me inspiration on how to move forward in my texts

My sister says I kill too many characters for my book…I Only do it every once in awhile though. XD

This is it. This is it. This is the video that would make me subscribe to you. Been following you for a while but now. I'm hooked. I'm a SUBFURY!!!!

Could you do more ways to write better they are really helpful seeing as I want to write a book soon

You do know that with the title and thumbnail you are already spoiling right? (I've watched both shows so I didn't get spoiled myself, but I am saying for other people?

I really enjoyed the animated parts! AAANNNNDDD the rest of the video, don't think I didn't enjoy it. but really this was great!

Great theme! You should always channel whatever you are passionate about!

I just don’t think that the low frame animation or the practically still frames in a video like this work. You speak fast and a (visually) faster paced video is necessary so as not to be distracting.

Either build the images and clips of these videos a little more or show yourself up and use the clips as support.

I hope this feedback is helpful.

Stay nerdy! 😉

Does this means that you just have to pay attention and you can see character deaths comming in most stories?

Was I the only one who thought that having Hodor so high up was both super sad and hilarious at the same time?

By Mishka you should do more videos with this kind of analysis!!!!

🤣Please we want more 🤣

Way I see it: You have three options.A: With a FREAKING BANG. This is self explanatory.B: With tragedy. Let them fail everything; or their one goal; just let them die.C: Just… Do it. No fuss, no tragedy, just death. How it happens. They were there once chapter, and in the next, they just… Aren't.

(Commented before watching the movie) CAST SEAN BEAN!

Kill your characters. You'd know about THAT, wouldn't you tim? (Cough Theo cough)
