The Role of Magic Swords In Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings

I think i have figured out the ending with Jon and Daenerys. She will have to plunge the sword into Jons heart to kill the last "Fire Wight" and Break the wheel of the Night King coming again as the Starks are linked to the first Night King and thus their death is the only thing that can kill the night king..

Cute set, so cozy!

Dany and jon will have an ultimatum. Kill one and assume total control of kingdom. Dany the mad will order her dragons to burn jon, but they refuse her. Jon, with a sad look on his eyes, stabs his lover. The blood sacrifice causes the sword and dany to burst in flames, forging lightbringer

I could watch videos about JRRT and GRRM swords all day long!

And Theo unsheathed his mighty humongous weapon, throbbing with devilish pourpose.
– Can I touch it?, timidly asked Gil.

First for Lady Forlorn best sword!

Always with the Daeny hate, to the end.

Gil is so adicted to Sansa, that when Theo said Jon would have to kill Sansa he ignored and dismissed it…

As much as I would like to see a sword in Sansa's heart killind Dany makes more sense, guess Dany killing Jon is possible but Dany is fire, Jon is Ice and Fire.

But is Sansa was the sacrifice she would at least be usefull for once, fuel to a sword.

So Jon is going to have to stab a Lion, maybe like Cersei or Tyrion, and then stab Daenerys?
Awww i hope he doesn't stab Tyrion, cause I think Jamie will kill Cersei 🙁

Hello GOT!! I watched another video from Teflon Tv which supported the idea that Jon Snow would win the war against the night king by challenging him to a trial by combat. Do you think that perhaps he may need to use a sword made of all the valryian swords melted together to form one? It would be über symbolic….the strength of the living against the strength of the dead via swords. Anything targaryen (or valaryian) in this story seems to represent fire and therefore life. Life vs death =all the valayrian swords of westeros melted together to form lightbringer vs the night king in one 121 battle.

Isn't Gil a Vegan? Why all this VIOLENCE!!?!?!?!

You should do a complete series of the symbolism of weapons in ASOIAF and LOTR: the hammers of Robert and now Gendry, the knife of Littlefinger and now Arya, the axes of Gimli and Tyrion… It would be a very interesting series.

The Sword of the Morning wasn't fighting to protect Ned's sister from Ned, he was fighting to protect baby "Jon Snow" from Robert. Killing off rival claims to the throne is commonplace place in Westeros. Ned was fighting under Roberts banner, the kings guard couldn't risk Ned or the force he brought (Which included a Dornishman) from not putting Jon at risk by making his existence known. A truth so deadly that Ned never told his wife or Jon.

I have a question. Does the Iron Throne possess Valyrian steel swords?

So, you have already given up on the ASOIAF chapter analysis?

Swords are nothing more than a projection of the male phallus and were never as practical in real world combat as were pikes or axes. Male fascination with their own cocks is what keeps this mythos alive and kicking.

“Alex. I’ll take Magic S’words for $500.”

I never understood why Ned took ice to Kings landing, being an ancestral sword it should've remained at winterfell with Rob.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government, supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Thanks, I really enjoy this series bridging together LOTR and ASOIAF. More please.

Huh, wouldn't have taken you guys for ones likely to take the Azor Ahai story literally.
He stuck his "sword" into his wife and made the "weapon" that beat the White Walkers at the cost of his wife's life. I mean… duh! Rhaegar tried the exact same thing and Lyanna died too, giving birth to Jon Snow.
That story is not at all about a sword!

Does that make Theo a weeaboo?

And also didn't George R.R. Martin say the ending will resemble the Lord of the Rings?

Aragorn didn't just have a sword to prove his legitimacy. He was also vouched for by Gandalf, who has served Middle-Earth for hundreds of years and renowned around the world, Imrahil, the prince of Dol-Amroth, Legolas, son of the King of the Woodland realm, Elrond, King of Rivendell, and his sons and daughter, Éomer, King of Rohan and Celeborn & Galadriel, King and Queen of Lothlórien. All these people of political power and authority all agree and proclaim he is the rightful heir of Isildur, that it cannot be denied.

Danny will die in childbirth so therefore John will have killed her with his sword and the child will be lightbringer

Finally Gil, got to taste the steel thanks to Theo. It's nice to see that Justice is still served with cold hard steel. Itamar beware!

Where the fuck is Itamar

The Golden company has Blackfyre and they will present it to Jon as the rightful ruler of the seven kingdoms.

Wolves have claws too, they just aren't as necessary as a bears. Which is suiting considering Jon's position on fighting.

Hi, guys. Please, do some video about the role of the maps in ASOIAF and LOTR.

Hope Melisandre comes to resurrect Gil soon.

Ian Payne? 😉 close

Fact check- Narsil was the sword before it was broken, Andruil is the sword reforged, not the other way around

Lord of the Rings is not relevant anymore guys.

Why not a video withTheon and Itamar?

Who the fuck
