  • Hey youtubers it’s Charlie. So the Game of Thrones Season 5 Trailer dropped

  • way earlier than I expected. So this is going to be a breakdown of all that footage.

  • I’m also starting a new round of the giveaway. All you have to do to enter is be a subscriber

  • and leave a comment on this video.

  • It's just going to be a $20 Amazon Gift Card.

  • So here we go down to business. So I'm going to try and avoid liberal spoilers.

  • But just general spoiler warning for everything through Season 4 on the show.

  • So here we go. First thing: did not like the David Bowie Heroes Cover, I could have done without that.

  • Its spliced with footage of Jaime and Cersei standing over Tywin's body in Baelor's Sept.

  • I know we all knew that Tywin was going to be in Season 5 probably as a corspe and this just confirms that.

  • This is also something of foreshadowing too. People in the future that they'll fail to protect.

  • If you have read the books and you do want to comment on who those people are that they fail to protect in the future

  • please just use spoiler tags in the comments.

  • This bay here up in the north is Eastwatch by the sea. It’s the port ships go to

  • whenever they are traveling to the wall. I can’t make out who these people on the boats are.

  • But Stanniswould have brought his men here last season whenever they landed.

  • Remember they have a bunch of wildlings there now. The battle is over. They won the battle.

  • So they are going to have to decide what to do with the wildlings that are still alive.

  • Then we get the Littlefinger voiceover. He's talking to Sansa. “There’s no justice in this world."

  • "Not unless we make it"

  • It looks like theyve left the Eyrie now and they're traveling around the Vale.

  • It cuts then to footage of Bronn with Jaime drawing swords.

  • There have been liberal spoilers about where theyre going, how they're storyline has changed.

  • There are some shots of them in the trailer that I'll talk about.

  • Try to avoid super spoilers when you're talking about them.

  • Here we see our first shots of the Sons of the Harpy wearing masks. That's in Meereen.

  • Then we jump all the way to Dorne. Brand new place.

  • We see Obara using her whip which is funny because it looks like she's torturing someone here.

  • She’s Oberyn Martell’s oldest daughter, the oldest of the Sand Snakes.

  • And the best warrior of all of them. They're all good warriors but she's just the best.

  • But it all looks like they're standing here in the background next to Ellaria Sand.

  • So they might be trying to get information from someone.

  • Vengeance is a big theme for the Martells in the wake of Oberyn’s Death. So they might

  • be torturing someone from King’s Landing.

  • This is Sunspear with the Water Gardens. It's the palace that Prince Doran spends his time hiding

  • out at. He’s really weak so he stays out of public sight, just so the illusion of his

  • health isn’t shattered.

  • Like all of his people think he's totally normal.

  • So here this Sansa scene - this is actually is really big. Little finger says, "Avenge Them."

  • Sophie Turner said Sansa was going to have some traumatic experiences in Season 5. It's possible

  • that the producers gave some aspects of Lady Stoneheart’s story to Sansa. Maybe not in a literal way.

  • But Sansa might take on a spirit of vengeance. It would be awesome to see her kill someone.

  • Our little Sansa. Grown up. Stabbing people in the face.

  • So this looks like more Eastwatch by the sea.

  • Varys says, "I believe men of talent have a part to play in the war to come."

  • This balcony he’s standing on, it looks like he and Tyrion are in Pentos at Illyrio’s home.

  • He’s talking about Tyrion. He's trying to get Tyrion to help him in his cause to put someone worthy on the Iron Throne.

  • This footage is actually cut with shots of Jon Snow and the Night’s Watch Brotherhood rallying,

  • Cersei in King's Landing.

  • Then Sansa.

  • Then Margaery.

  • They're just basically contenders for Iron Throne just cut in with Varys' speech.

  • Daenerys says, "I'm not going to stop the wheel, I'm going to break it."

  • And we get a shot of Ser Jorah in the Meereen Fighting pits. Sucks to be him.

  • She's trying to abolish slavery in Slaver's Bay. Like that's been her mission since Season 4.

  • As we saw anytime she leaves a place like a city, like Yunkai, all the rats flood back in and start slaving again.

  • So these people who are fighting her, those are the Wise Masters. They represent the old guard. the people who still want to slave.

  • This looks like it might be a gift from House Martell. Or Varys.

  • I thought it might be Tywin's Chain of Office but I thought that was left on his body.

  • I know a lot of people are pissed we're not going to see Kevan Lannister.

  • It does look really look like Tywin's Chain of Office though. Its just hard to zoom the footage in because its a little fuzzy.

  • This bonfire here looks like Melisandre's latest attempt at working some big time magic.

  • Bearded Tyrion here reaffirming his desire to continue living.

  • So here's Jon Snow entering what looks like some sort of conflict. It looks like he's wearing a Wildling outfit.

  • So Stannis and the Night's Watch could have already integrated the WIldlings into their forces.

  • So here's a full shot of Jaime in Dorne. I guess we don't have to worry about spoiling that anymore- they stuck it in the trailer.

  • That was actually one of the biggest surprises of the trailer. Was seeing like, full on Jaime in Dorne.

  • I didn't think they were going to include that.

  • This looks like it actually might be Tyene Sand trying to seduce him.

  • So it's possible that, if you read the books, that they're combining Arys Oakheart's part and giving it to Jaime.

  • And the Arianne Martell part to Tyene Sand.

  • It just makes sense because that's a really important story line but they cut out some of the important characters to someone else.

  • Here, I'm actually happy to see the Queen of Thorns made it in. Diana Rigg was awesome last year. Its good to see her back in Season 5.

  • Her line: "They'll never find what's left of you." Is just cut with battle scenes from all over the place.

  • Up at the Night's Watch. Down here in Dorne.

  • Here, this will make people really happy. This is a shot of Quaithe.

  • The graffiti in the background just says Wise Masters.

  • There the opposing force- there like the antagonists in Meereen.

  • Technically the Masters are from Yunkai but I don't think that they're leaving Meereen in terms of location so it looks like they've come to Mereen.

  • Here's a quick shot of Ramsey and Reek cut with Jaime and Bronn fighting Dornish soldiers.

  • The voiceover? This is the High Sparrow that we hear in the background. He's saying strip away the gold, knockdown the statues.

  • He's just an advocate of the people so he hates what he considers to be vulgar displays of wealth.

  • So he's not a huge fan of the crown.

  • These people running through the streets smashing things might be Faith Militant.

  • This person could either be the new Marcella or Maggie the Frog.

  • Its kinda hard to tell. There aren't that many big characters that have color of hair.

  • They aged Marcella's character up so she's not a little girl anymore.

  • Then this is actually really cool. We get to see Arya about to enter the House of Black and White in Bravos.

  • I know everyone is pumped about that.

  • The voice over ends with, "this is what remains." As Arya looks at needle.

  • Its just meant show that needle is all that's left former life as Arya Stark.

  • She's just trying to transition to a new life and needle is just the last thing she has left of her old life.

  • These soldiers bare the symbol of House Arryn so they're probably riding with Sansa and Littlefinger around the Vale.

  • This map board, its hard to tell who is standing at it but these symbols on it looked like Flayed Men so this could be Stannis map board.

  • That'd be awesome if he brought giant table map from Dragonstone.

  • Think about what that implies: Stannis mapping out troop locations for the Boltons.

  • Remember they were headed for Winterfell at the end of Season 4.

  • Here Tyrion and Varys just cap off their speech saying Daeneyrs is the right girl for the job.

  • Varys is just trying to get Tyrion to back Daeneyrs.

  • I know a lot of people are upset that Young Griff isn't going to be in the show.

  • It sounds like they're cutting straight to Daenerys.

  • And here we finally get a beautiful shot of a huge Drogun about to melt a bunch of people's faces off.

  • If you thought Drogun was cool in Season 4 you have no idea. He's going to be enormous.

  • Think about how fast he grew between Seasons 2 & 3 and then 3 & 4.

  • Yeah, he's going to be that much bigger in Season 5.

  • The really cool thing about dragons is, is there is no limit to the amount they can grow.

  • Its just dependent on their ability to find food.

  • Although when you do chain them up, it does stunt their growth so that's why Daenerys' other two dragons aren't as big.

  • Here's more East Watch by the sea.

  • Then it looks like Missandei is totally gonna go for it with Grey Worm.

  • Daenerys presiding over some slave fights in the fighting pits.

  • Melisandre here getting ready to have sex and ruin someone else's life up at the wall.

  • Seems like any time she has sex with someone she's ruining their life so don't have sex with Melisandre.

  • Here's Daenerys with her Unsullied marching around.

  • Valyria Sand back in Dorne at the Water Gardens. They're holding spears at her so she might be in the presence of Prince Doran.

  • This here looks like it might be Bowen Marsh.

  • He's one of the new characters in Season 5. He's a Night's Watch character.

  • Brienne and Podrick on the run.

  • Then we have open revolt in Mereen.

  • It looks like the Sons of the Harpy are fighting Daenrys' Unsullied in the streets.

  • Shit goes down.

  • Here we have Margery and Tommen. It looks like she's about to do something really naughty.

  • Then all out craziness in the fighting pits.

  • And a shot of the statue being torn off the top of the pyramid.

  • That's just meant to imply that rulers will face off a lot of opposition from their people in all parts of the world.

  • I guess you could subtitle Season 5: Vengeance or Uprising or Revolt depending on whose point of view you're taking.

  • So here's my big question for you guys: of all the crazy new things they're going to be doing and the new places we're going to visit, what are you most looking forward to?

  • Like Arya in Bravos at the House of Black and White.

  • Or say like House Martell in Dorne.

  • Personally, I would say both those things are probably pretty equal.

  • But I think House Martell is going to be pretty awesome.

  • So like I said, new round of the give away starts now.

  • Now all you have to do to enter is be a subscriber and leave a comment on this video.

  • So I'm going to do a Q&A tomorrow where I'll announce the winners.

  • And actually instead of gift certificates, I'm giving away to preorders for Episode 2 of the Tell-tale Game.

  • Sorry I forgot about that in the beginning of the video.

  • Its going to be a great Season. I'll be doing all the same type of videos I did last year.

  • I'll be doing bonus videos, episode reviews and then Q&As. So it'll be like three Game of Thrones videos a week.

  • It'll be a lot of fun. I'm really excited.

  • If HBO posts a higher quality version trailer tomorrow I'll just attach it to my Q&A.

  • While you guys wait for that you can click here to learn all about the Citadel of Maesters.
