Hey youtubers it’s Charlie, this is going to be a breakdown of the viral trailer Game
of Thrones just posted.
It’s all about Arya and gets into some Braavos stuff so careful for minor spoilers for some
specific Braavos Locations in that city.
It’s going to be one of the major new locations the show does in addition to Dorne.
And Quick reminder that I’m running a weekly giveaway for a copy of the Telltale video
game.
All you have to do to enter is be a subscriber and leave a comment on this video.
So here we go.
Starting off it’s Arya having a waking dream.
It’s not specifically a warg dream because we’re seeing visions of the past.
She remembers killing the Frey Guardsman after the Red Wedding while the Hound just watched
with his jaw on the ground.
That was at the end of Season 3.
Then she remembers the time she killed Rorge after she and The Hound came on the dying
man in the village.
Remember where the heart is.
That was late season 4.
Then she sees herself giving the Bravoosi coin to the ships captain in the season 4
finale.
The first time I saw her wrap her fingers around the pommel here I thought it could
have been from back when she killed Biter but she was wearing different clothes.
And her arm looks unusually clean here.
This looks like it’s from before she left King’s Landing.
There haven’t been a lot of times she’s tried to use a blade that’s clearly way
way too big and heavy for her.
Needle is the size of a large turkey knife.
So this is probably from a long time ago in the past.
The last shot is the biggest, the Black and White Doors of course being the entrance to
the House of Black and White in Braavos.
The temple of the Faceless Men, the order to which Jaqen H’Gar belongs.
I’ve already done a couple bonus videos about Braavos and the Faceless Men, so I’ll
add links in the description if you want to learn all about those things.
That’s the only real new footage, but here’s what’s going on.
HBO is using this to promote their viral website.
The Three Eyed Raven dot Com where you can sign up for mobile alerts via text message
and twitter.
I would just recommend going with twitter because text messages will cost you money.
I do a lot of my communicating between videos on twitter too, there’s a link for that
in the description.
So you can also follow me for related Game of Thrones updates.
HBO promotes each new season a little different every year.
So the big question is what will they use this new system for?
Mostly releasing new season 5 promos.
That will probably include everything from footage, behind the scenes stuff or even just
images.
I’m not expecting the first full trailer till the same time as last year.
And that was in February.
It was about 4 weeks before the start of season 5.
So don’t expect a huge long trailer till then.
They will be posting official stuff, but it will just be super short things like this
9 second teaser.
Because they went with the Three Eyed Raven name I’m hoping they focus all the viral
content on Arya, Bran is supposed to not be seen on screen at all so I don’t think any
of the content will invoke him.
Arya’s warg dreams have never been a big thing on the show.
But all the stark children who’s direwolves are still alive have the dreams.
No matter where they are in the world.
I think I talked about that in my direwolves video.
But If they’re just doing Three-Eyed Raven warg type teases they’d probably show new
footage of Jon up at the wall.
I don’t think they’ll do that, it’s possible but here’s why.
Braavos is this new big exciting place we haven’t seen a lot of, so if I were HBO
and I wanted to get people pumped up.
I’d just focus all my teasers there.
Especially if none of them are intended to be full trailers.
You save all the other big characters for that first trailer in february.
They kind of did that last year where they had the wolf vision teasers for all the stark
children.
I didn’t really like those, I’m more a fan of traditional trailers.
But I will give HBO a high five for trying something creative in terms of marketing.
Just speaking as a fan I think this is interesting but I feel like the Telltale Game will be
a more effective marketing tool.
Especially since it’s a legitimately good game.
They’re sending me an advance copy in the next week so I’ll let you know pretty soon
when I’ll start posting those videos.
Be sure to subscribe to get everything.
I’ll post the first couple on this channel and then I’ll move the gameplay stuff to
my game channel charlie streams.
Links for that in the description too.
Since a lot of the shows I do videos for are going on break in the next couple of weeks
I might have some time for extra game of thrones bonus videos so leave all your requests in
the comments.
Congratulations to the first winner of my Telltale giveaway, Hannah M. You win a pre-order
on steam.
Please message me on my channel for details, because I’ll need some contact info.
For people that want to buy the game it’s on discount right now.
So you can get it on Steam for about 25 dollars.
Normally it will be 30 dollars.
but the price will probably go down.
I don’t think that includes a season pass for all the future episodes.
There will be six total over the course of next year.
Probably one new episode every two or three months.
