Man this video is so beautiful I was crying. Robb was my favorite character. He deserved so much more. And Rickon was innocent. He was a beautiful child cut down by a sadacious bastard.
Stark in german means strong
"You're too fat for your armour"
I think that the fact that the ghosts eyes are red refers to the Targaryen blood
Winter is coming
White wolf – targerian famous for silver hair merging into wolf character
I just realized the tragic destiny of Rickon. Being an orphan even when his parents were alive; no education, no value, no love. The main thing he know about life was to be worthy you had to being facing death.
Like Bran was the summer child, Rickon his the war child. Nothing to hope, raised in fear of winter. Add this this cold season and the war no wonder he did not run in zig zag he was either wishing for death or dead inside.
House stark:Punching bags of westeros
Seriously didn't expect that much insight into Rickon's character
"Stark" is a german word meaning "strong"
Another key bit of symbolism: Jon was the only Stark to die before his dire wolf did. The fact that Ghost was still alive was a glaring clue that Jon wasn't gone for good.
I live in stark county North Dakota
And this is why the Starks will win.
where is ghost in season 7 ?
I like your videos about the houses but would u please say the difference about what happend in the show and the books

subtext – americans don't understand because they're sheltered from their european dark side….Europeans get it entirely because we're raised on this history…and the whole GOT world is built on European history.
Found the channel today. It´s really good! putting my fattest finger upwards
Even though (in my opinion) you must always be carefull of symbolic analisys. Love the in depth background information.
ALL HAIL THE SCREEN IN THE PRISM
"A Direwolf for each legitimate Stark child." Yeah, because Theon Greyjoy is a legitimate Stark. Jon Snow may be a bastard and he may only be 50% Stark but thats 100% more Stark than Theon Greyjoy. I never understood why Theon got the wolf since he was gifted to the Starks but.
Great video but was disappointed by you not mentioning, "The North remembers".
saddest part of the show is when a direwolf dies…poor puppies
Starks are not stoic at all, they are impulsive and easy to manipulate,that's what got them killed. Except for rob in the beginning, after he married the random girl, he became a typical Stark.
This is
Amazing you can probably see how many times I have watched this video which I will continue to do?
Winter is coming
Geralt of Rivia is the true White Wolf.
2:53 In Swedish t means strong
I just love all of the Stark's
Beautiful…
Robb Stark – former king of thr north
Jon Snow – Lord Commander of the Nights Watch
Bran – Warg, can control Hodor
Arya Stark- Proven Assasin
Sansa Stark – Lady of Winterfell
Rickon Stark – USELESS (DEAD)
my favorite family.
I've always wondered if the starks have a second motto for when it is currently winter. Seems a little silly to tell everyone that "winter is coming" in the middle of winter.
Rob Starcc is my favorite Game of Thrones character
Where's Tony Stark when you need him? Is he done building his Iron Man suit yet? He's the last hope that his house has.
Script writer "Zoe miller" is she same writer who wrote question of betryal.
tbh… I stoped the video like 2 minutes in
I subscribed then continued watching !
Excellent work ! rare fine quality video.. as a legit GoT fan I say: Thank you !
2:47 Stark means strong in German.
So what happens to Jon Snow now that we all know he is the heir to the Iron Throne? Will the northman fall in bihind the man they named their king or will they balk when they find out he's half Targaryon and half Stark?
Game of thrones is the greatest thing ever invented
Ghost might be white because it represents the white hair of the Targeryens?? Also ghosts are invisible, which Jon is most of his life at Winterfell. Also before he leaves Castle Black he is the invisible hero of westeros, he fought the white walkers and saved the wildings, which no one south of castle black knew about
If you think about it his siblings are as much stark as they are Tully it's not like anyone is fully stark
Actually now Jon is actually rightfully the king of the north because hes confirmed half stark half targaryean
Please do a House Tully Symbolism video.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!
jon snow last but the BEAST
Good episode -> instant sub
Btw Stark means strong in german
Your videos are awesome! Knowledgeable and easy to watch. Great job!
Will there be a new meaning for jon's white direwolf after season 7? He is aegon targaryen
