hey youtubers is Charlie hopefully you all enjoyed your finale pie these are
going to be my season 7 predictions just careful for spoilers if you haven't
seen the season yet I'll also address what's going on this
summer too there is new stuff happening this summer they did a couple clear
things to foreshadow big events like a big war between Daenerys and Cersei but
I just tried to look at it from different region like you know stuff
that's going on up in the north stuff that's going on in the Crown lands and
stuff that's going on in the South so that's kind of how I divided these up so
starting up in the north of course I'm expecting more little bear just being
amazing the actress herself is actually probably a little bit older but if you
remember how much bran changed physically just because of how much
older the actor got year to year I think if they can make you forget how much
older bran looks this season than he has in previous seasons and they can do the
same thing for the little bear so expecting more really awesome moments
I call the actions like this she's just really strong leader and it's also
really funny because she's this little ten-year-old girl with a bunch of old
men so mass respect for the little bear on the flip side of that you know the
people who aren't such big supporters of Jon Snow Littlefinger probably going to
continue to scheme and plot behind his back try to rope Sansa in even though it
doesn't seem like it's sonses intention to go against her brother he's probably
going to try and twist her against him or at least involve her and some of his
schemes remember how committed he is to his idea of sitting on the Iron Throne
with Sansa beside him he's not just going to give that up just because Jon
Snow was named king in the north so what about bran we left him at that
weirwood the weirwood that he was touching is actually the one where Jon
Snow and all the other Night's Watch take their oaths there's still a lot of
moments that he has not flashback to yet we haven't got a Rhaegar specific
flashback yet it would be amazing if we got to see the Battle of the
Trident in the moment of his death as he whispers Lyanna's name you know rubies
flying from his chest it's this really iconic moment from the books and we
haven't seen Rhaegar yet it just said that on his death as Robert had smashed
him with his Warhammer and was destroying him he whispered a woman's name but we
never learned that name now we know he was probably whispering Lyanna's name and
if you're wondering what Lyanna was whispering to Ned she was just
whispering Jon name the reason they did that the reason they made it hard to
hear is because they wanted to tell you that visually
with the transition like you can kind of make out protect him Ned Robert will
destroy him so she's talking about the bit you know protect the baby so there are a
lot of people that were confused like hey maybe Jon Snow has a different name
maybe it's like Aegon or maybe he has a Targaryen no I think that the name that
Liana initially gave him was Jon and so that's what Ned called him I don't think
that Ned gave him a different name other than snow like Ned named him Snow as his
bastard and that was the lie but I don't think that they were lying about his
name being Jon there were a lot of people that were wondering that as part
of tradition you know maybe they would have given him a name from the Targaryen
family tree or something from the stark family tree like Brandon is a common
name in the stark family there were many different Brandon's like Brandon's the
Builder it's just a lot of people were wondering if maybe lianna had done the
same thing and given him a family name from the Starks or maybe he had a
Targaryen name but at the end of the day I still think that his true name is Jon
it's just that the last name is the big reveal the big surprise like oh he's the
son of a Stark in a Targaryen so technically you would call him Jon
Targaryen but he identifies as Stark remember he doesn't know who his mother
is so he still thinks that he's Ned's son so he feels like he's a stark that's
been his family his whole life so even if everyone were to find out that he's a
Targaryen maybe he has a legitimate claim to the Iron Throne
he would still tell you that he's a stark of Winterfell he doesn't know
anything about Targaryens he prot even if he met Daenerys they probably
wouldn't feel like family he's like I've never met you before I've never met any
Targaryen I've only known Starks so that's my family so if he had the power
to give himself his own name he would probably take the stark name but that's
another thing too I don't think that Jon Snow is going to learn his heritage
until he meets with bran which will not be right away
first bran is going to learn more about what's going on with the night's king
the magic of the wall benjin kind of explained the magic like the dead cannot
pass here so I cannot pass so bran will explore his powers more probably
flashback you know hopefully to a Rhaegar scene and then he'll find a way
to communicate with the Nights Watch and then Jon Snow largely the priority in
the north is rallying to prepare for the night King Jon probably isn't going to
be too worried about what's going on in the south because physically the north
is so far away from what's going on like they just made it through the Battle of
the bastards everyone swore fealty to the king in the north so Jon Snow is now
like okay great you're listening to me we have this big problem north of the
wall let's get ready for this so yes what's going on in the south
between Cersei and what's going to happen with Daenerys is going to be too
big to ignore so they'll probably find out about it but Jon Snow probably won't
send troops south I'm expecting that he'll largely just be paying attention
to what's going on north of the wall it was this kind of funny offhanded comment
that Daenerys made when she was breaking up with Daario where he's like you're
going to have to get married who you going to get married to and she's like I don't
know you know I'm going to have to make an alliance I'll probably have to get
married as part of that think about this there are no eligible Martell bachelors
there are no eligible tyrell bachelors either so you look at King's Landing
Jamie is unattached but the problem is is that Cersei is not going to give up
the crown so she's probably not going to okay a marriage between Jamie and
Daenerys meaning that Jon Snow king of the north
King Crow is the most eligible bachelor in the Seven Kingdoms so I'm not really
expecting anybody to get married anytime soon like Jon Snow if you asked him
about marriage he'd be like what what are you talking about I have no idea
what's going on Daenerys isn't in a rush to get married either
Cersei is definitely never getting married again if there's any alliances
that are forged with marriages I'm not expecting that to happen till season a
so those are the only circumstances where I see Jon Snow ending up with
Daenerys form an alliance in season eight but this is mostly a season seven
video so the takeaway for season seven is is that no one is probably going to get
married what about the Crown lands what's going on with Cersei so she's
pretty much solidified her power she'll probably squash anybody that rises up
but there are no sons of the harpy and Kings Landing anymore that was what the
faith militant was they've largely been killed off and the queen of thorns made
this really interesting threat when the faith through Margaery and Loras into
prison she said we control the grain we will cut it off we will starve King's
Landing out if you don't release them in the high sparrows answer to that was we
are the poor we are the many you are the few we will rise up and tear you down
now that they're dead the Queen of thorns is free to make good on that
threat and if she's trying to destroy Cersei if she's trying to destroy the
Brown then the easiest way to do that would be to starve them out then when
they're on the edge of death March Daenerys azar Mian so I'm expecting
multi-pronged attack from the new alliance in the south from the the
Dornish Tyrell of Daenerys alliance where the Queen of thorns starves King's
Landing out over the course of a couple episodes weakens them then Daenerys is
army can march in and it'll be much easier for them to take the city so what
about Jaime Queen Slayer I'm not expecting any kind of Queen Slayer
moment till at least season 8 because all the actors just renegotiated their
contracts they're getting a half a million dollars per episode so at least
the five main actors and that includes all three Lannister children so Cersei
Jaime and Tyrion all getting a half a million dollars per episode through
season eight meaning that we'll probably see Cersei make it to season eight so if
there's a queen Slayer moment it probably won't come for a long time and
I kind of said this during my episode 10 video last night but I think they might
give that kill to Arya because while all this is going on you know these three
sections of the kingdom you have Daenerys alliance in the south
Cersei in the middle in the Crown lands in Jon up in the north
I think Arya is going to be skipping around crossing names off her list but
in order to do that she'd have to head south and when she said she was going
back to Westeros she said she was going home so it's possible she could go to
Winterfell but it feels like she would run into the Hound maybe and then get
pulled away in another direction it just feels too easy to have a stark
reunion right away when season 7 picks up so yes I do think that Arya will see
Sansa and Jon again but maybe not right away it feels like it'd be too easy to
do that right away I'd rather see Sansa get letters get word of what Arya is
doing and just kind of chuckled to herself because she's kind of dark she
could just laugh the way she laughed when Brienne told her about Arya I saw
your sister Lady Sansa she didn't look like a lady at all she you know she was
covered in mud she had a sword with her in Santa was like yeah that sounds like
Arya so I'm expecting more moments like that
Walder Frey was assassinated after eating a pie that his relatives had been
baked into oh that sounds like Arya bacon Frey pies
so the other big thing critical pieces of information that they need they need
to learn how to make more dragonglass they need to learn how to make more
wildfire just everyone in general anyone that's going to survive to fight the war
for the dawn that is where samwell in the Citadel comes in
dragonglass would be the first go to and then he'll probably be the reason that
Jon Snow starts thinking about Daenerys more seriously like oh we need dragon
fire to nurse has dragons okay Jon you're going to have to find a way to
form an alliance with this Daenerys person and so then they'll have to
figure that out but that seems more like a season a thing so I'm not expecting a
ton of Samwell in season 7 just a couple moments just seeing him studying in the
library learning things that are important for fighting the night king
and finally what about the episode count so I feel like everybody has heard that
they're going to do a shortened run but the actual episode count hasn't been
confirmed yet what it sounds like is going to happen is there'll be seven
episodes in season seven there'll be a little bit longer than normal episodes
so the actual runtime of this season will be a little bit less but you won't
be missing out on as much content as you think like each episode itself will be
much longer and then the final season might only end up being six episodes but
but again they'd be much longer episodes so they'd be spending as much money as
they do on each season it's just that they'll be cramming all that into a
fewer number of episodes so nothing is confirmed yet like their big priority
right now is getting the actors to sign all their contracts once they do that
they'll figure the season out figure the budget out all that stuff and then I'll
do a video explaining what's going to happen HBO is usually really good about
announcing details like that like they'll be X number of episodes we're
going to premiere around this time of the year the premiere date can fluctuate
depending on stuff that happens throughout the year so hopefully they'll
do that when they come to Comic Con they haven't announced a comic-con panel
officially yet but I think they'll come back hopefully they will bring the
little bear it would be amazing to see her march out on stage and do like a
low-key style call to action where she just does like this King in the North
speech and then introduces Jon Snow and all the other actors come out think
about how much easier it is for HBO to do that panel this year now that we
don't have a big Jon Snow type cliffhanger but if you didn't know Comic
Con is going to be like the third I think it's the third of the last weekend
in July so it's not for at least another month but of course I'll be doing videos
