S7 Trailer #2 + Alt Swift X? (Patreon)

Hey guys, a second trailer just came out - here are some initial thoughts:

Cersei looks to be standing amidst the dragon skulls in the Red Keep - perhaps she's reflecting on the Targaryens, and devising ways to kill dragons. And Dany takes down Stannis' banner at Dragonstone - perhaps she, like Cersei, is thinking about the vanquished

Bran's new wheels make him look like Professor Xavier. Brienne and Pod give me Batman and Robin vibes. Feeling some pop culture references coming on..

We see Euron fighting with an axe - has show-Euron taken on a Victarion sorta flavour?

We see ravens flying over the army of the dead - is this like the "Eagles are coming" moment in Lord of the Rings? Have birds been sent to save the heroes deep in enemy territory?

Who or what is Jaime charging on that fiery battlefield? Surely not Dany's dragons...? How will he survive?

There's a strong theme of unity here - Jon working with Dany, Sansa talking about Stark solidarity - everyone's coming together to face the white walkers

So there's heaps to talk about here. I've started working on an Explained video, should take a ~day or two, like the last trailer vid. But I'm also feeling tempted to make a super-quick response video to the trailer - something visually simple, with these sorta initial thoughts, as a prelude to the full "Explained" analysis. It'd only take an hour or two to make - a quick appetiser before the main video, call it Alt Swift X. I could put it up as a Patron-only vid, and if you guys like it, it could be released publicly as well. How does this sound?

Cheers!

PS: The Cersei video is still coming – I'm sorry that it's taking so long, but it's coming, and it's one of the best videos we've ever done. Really appreciate your patience.
