The Top Ten Greatest Warriors in Westeros: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLMRR9sWo6E 

This was originally going to be an April Fools shitpost, embracing the ridiculousness of a clickbaity Top 10 video. But it turned into a pretty respectable lore/character video instead. Hope you enjoy!

We're still working on finishing the giant Dune videos. Then we'll move on to The Real Jon Snow.

Thanks for your support!

I’d love to know how the original script looked, if this was supposed to be your April Fools video 😂 Loved the Ser Pounce reference. Enjoyable watch 😊

Autumn

This instantly made my bad morning much better. I hope you’ll keep uploading videos to the podcast stream so I don’t have to keep trying to hide the fact that I’m watching YouTube from my coworkers haha. I’ll be honest: I fully expected you to put Pod at number one (he did slay a kingsguard, after all) 😄

The Sheriff

What metric did you use? Skill, feats or ‘who would win?’ Cause Robert isn’t the most skilled but a 60+ hammer will kill everyone. Either way, very interesting

Mandi Mateer

This list was perfect. I wish we got to see Khal Drogo fight fully armored knights. I feel like that might have altered the ranking. I'll be interested to see if the books change the Sword of the Morning's ending at all.

D

No love for Qhorin Halfhand?

Bram Reichbaum

Tough to weigh Bloodraven under the rules, but he'd get to keep Dark Sister and his weirwood arrows no doubt. Lyn Corbray might rank up there with the Tyrell boys. Well done, think you made the right call

Alt Shift X

Yeah Bloodraven would kick a lot of ass. But I think he'd usually rather dispatch his enemies from afar than risk his neck in single combat -- with the exception of Bittersteel..

Alt Shift X

Yeah Qhorin probably should've been in the honourable mentions -- "the wildlings beyond the Wall had known no foe more implacable", "The Halfhand could have killed me as easy as you swat a bug"...

Alt Shift X

Yeah I suspect we'll see Arthur Dayne differently by the end of the series. He's way too perfect and mythologised.. ASOIAF is about questioning those ideals.

Alt Shift X

Haha probably should've put him in the honourable mentions, yeah

Alt Shift X

Yeah it's hard to judge. This video focusses mostly on feats and reputation in the books -- things get very complicated and subjective if you bring in your own speculation on "who would win" in each specific matchup..

Alt Shift X

The original April Fools version had George Martin at #1, because he's killed so many characters

Autumn

. . . and also all our hopes and dreams 😐
