What going on guys, carmine here and a while ago I said I would be doing a final season
review where I would take a couple of days off and binge watch all of season 5 over again
and do a fresh full review. I'm almost done watching it all but I thought I would make
a top 6 best scenes this season. You're probably wondering "carmine...why are you doing a top
6? why not a top 5?" because go to hell jesse, that's why. I also want to thank everybody
for their adolf hitler is jon snow's father stories....they were uh...pretty fucked up.
I even had a couple of Israeli people send me some stories....I don't know what is more
terrible, that or the sand snakes haaaa oh we'll get to that in a later video, trust
me. But with this out of the way, let's get on to it. Keep in mind these scenes are all
my favorites this season and they beat out a ton of others. This is all my personal opinion,
if you have different Top 6 scenes leave them in the comment section. So here we go Number
6
And number 6 Has to be Cersei's arrest. I absolutely loved this scene and not because
I enjoyed both Jonathan Pryce and Lena Heady performances but because it is probably one
of the biggest fuck yous in the show's history. One of the biggest. Here you have Cersei,
trying to use the Faith as a weapon and ...I hate to be that guy who loves using cliches
but when you play with fire....it fucks you in the arse. And the reason why it's on this
list is also because the character of Cersei Lannister is such a failure and it's almost
shakespearean how badly she fucks up. I will go into more details about this in an entire
video dedicated to her, wink wink nudge nudge, but it is such a pivotal moment for the character
and it will be a driving factor into how we will be seeing her transformation next season.
But yeah number 6...Cersei's arrest. And before anybody reminds me. Yes I am aware that she
used a body double for that walk of shame scene and I am kind of disappointed. You can
see some nipple in the movie 300 (with all the spartans) where she also played the Queen.
I found it a bit weird how her boobs changed size but I get. I'm a little disappointed
that she didn't go above and beyond the call of duty, but its understandable. Okay so Number
5 is...
Arya Killing Meryn Trant. Now this was a little tough for me because I really liked the first
time she went down and saw all the faces on the wall. That was another good scene but
I have to give props to her finally taking out Meryn Trant....what would make it better
is if she went all crazy and started tattooing tally marks all over her body everytime she
killed someone. I also loved her they switched out the original character for Meryn Trant.
It somehow fits nicely into the show. For those of you who don't know, we are all still
waiting on George to release the 6th book but occasionally he gives us one of the chapters
to hold us over every year and a while back it was a chapter called Mercy. I won't go
into too much detail over it but similar events do happen. I guess you could say that Arya
killing him was another big fuck you but I must say...showrunners, was it really necessary
to make him a pedophile? I mean it makes the death much more well deserved, in my opinion,
but we didn't need a reminder of how much of a jerk he is. He already hated him for
what he said to Sansa. I think Bronn said it best Meryn is better "at beatin' litle
gurlz then fightin' men". And the only reason I did that impression is because everybody
hates me doing impressions but I'm going to keep doing them anyway.
Alright but moving on, Number 4 has to be...Jorah in the Daznak pit and I have to say...what
an amazing fight scene. Iain Glen, I believed that is the actor's name...he plays such a
good Jorah Mormont. I absolutely loved it. I thought it was simply amazing and I also
noticed how there were a lack of quick cut edits or shaky cam. Thank you so damn much
for not putting that in. Also I forgot who sent me this, it was someone in the comment
section but they linked me to another youtube video where Jackie Chan basically says the
reason many studios do quick cut edits and shaky cam during fights is mainly because
some actors can't actually fight...which makes Iain Glen all that more badass. I understand
the aesthetics to putting on the white walker costume takes time but I would've prefered
to see Kit Harrington get his ass handed to him in steady cam. That being said, Jorah
in the pits was such a great moment for the show and for him....the look he gave Danerys
before fighting and afterwards too...I absolutely loved it, I was into it the whole time. Definitely
one of my favorite scenes.
But moving on, We're down to the top 3 best scenes for Season 5...you ready for this?
some of you will hate me for saying it but...number 3 has to be Stannis' last stand. Look I understand
some of you hate the character for his choices OF BBQ meats but I still got to give him props.
Even though many people would argue that the showrunners completely ramsay raped his character,
they did get a few things correctly and this scene is proof of that. Stannis knows he out
numbered and has no chance of winning...in fact if you go back and re-watch that battle...look
at the back of his army, some of his men are running away. So basically, morale is down,
everybody is tired and they have no horses. Hes done but he doesn't fall back like a little
bitch he goes towards the charge with his sword out and he is at the front of it too.
Somehow he ends up in the forests but what ever at least he didn't go down while on the
toilet. You gotta give him that much
But moving on to the number 2 best scene in season 5 and it has got to be....The Tyrion
and Danerys scenes. This is kind of a cop out placing because I'm basically choosing
two scenes but you really do need to put them together for it to work, so number 2 is the
scenes between them in the throne room and then again alone in conversation. This is
something many of us been waiting for, for a very long time, especially in the book.
These two characters finally meeting up. To be fair...Tyrion is such a well written character
and is basically the Tony Stark of the Game of Thrones universe so you kind of have to
put him in any top list....well Tony Stark without the height and suit. But his banter
with almost every character is just so unique and it makes the other person stand out so
much more but here is the thing...something I've had a problem with is identifying how
Danerys is being protrayed on the television show. We've seen strong female characters
before but my question to you guys is this, and this is going to come into my final season
5 review...do you think shes a strong character or just someone trying hard to hide the fact
that she has no idea what shes doing. I really want other people's opinion on this. Some
like her some hate her and some are in between. So I look forward to reading your comments
on this topic if you have an opinion on it but number 2 is Tyrion and Danerys.
Okay so now we've come to Number 1 and you had to have seen this coming. It is The final
shot of Hardhome where the Night's king comes down and raises up all of the dead wildlings
into his own personal army. This shot setup the real threat of the white walkers. Up until
now we've been hearing about how its crucial we must all band together and how we need
to fight back but this shot summed up how scary and insane these things really are.
Thousands of people slaughtered in a few minutes...not something you see happening every day. Especially
how efficent and quick they were about it too. I also heard that it took them almost
an entire month to film the entire battle of hardhome and how a lot of work into everything
from clothes, to lighting and even stunt work. I really do appreciate the love and care that
goes into making this stuff look believable, especially when they shoot on location....take
note Lucas. But ya I hate to leave you guys on such a small note with this but can you
blame me? I really did enjoy it but I'm curious...if someone out there feels that hardhome shouldn't
be number one? let me know in the comment section what you think it should have been
and why.
