How A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Is Saving the Game of Thrones Franchise

Описание: In this video, we're returning to Westeros - a place that used to mean peak television but lately has felt like a graveyard of wasted potential. We are diving deep into A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to understand how a show about a homeless knight with dysentery managed to restore faith in a franchise I thought was dead. We'll break down the "micro-scale" brilliance of the Ashford Tournament, analyze why Ser Duncan the Tall is the perfect antidote to the "Chosen One" fatigue, and argue that this low-budget, muddy adventure exposes exactly why House of the Dragon and the final seasons of Game of Thrones felt so empty. It turns out, you don't need dragons to save a fantasy show - you just need internal logic and a good sandwich.
