Hello everyone! Today I'm discussing why I feel like people often take the wrong lesson from Game of Thrones' best moments like the Red Wedding.

Be sure to subscribe if you enjoyed this video! What do you think? Is there anything I missed? Do you think this arc should've been included in #gameofthrones? What do you think of #houseofthedragon so far? More #asoiaf content is on the way!

Thank you all for watching! I'll be back with more theories next week!
