Game Of Thrones Season 8 Jon Snow Golden Company Theory
you should have listened Mormon father
spoke about the importance of gold I know it’s boring for you you just wanted
to hunt and ride and fight but I listened I learned my garden waters the
most powerful army and esos the golden company 20,000 men horses elephants I
believe the golden company is not here they’re in Essos how is a mercenary
company in SS going to help us do you really think you’re in gradua turned
tail and sail back to the Iron Islands do you think he abandoned the chance to
marry the Queen no one walks away from me he’s sailing with his fleet to Essos
he’s going to ferry the golden company back here to help us win the war for
Westeros hey everyone you requested a golden
company video they’re a really cool group of mercenaries from the book
there’s a big storyline that they might be including from the TV show so I’m
going to explain why it’s relevant to Jon Snow’s storyline and why it’s so
important for a Circe’s storyline because she says no one ever walks away
from me just remember that in the motto of the golden company is our word is as
good as gold as in they’ve never broken a contract so as far as she thinks
Cersei has this ace in the hole an ironclad contract that Euron’s
helping her execute thanks to the iron bank so if you’re finding me for the
first time this is just one of many season eight videos that we’re going to be
talking about in the off season so be sure to subscribe to get everything and
there’s giveaway stuff that I’ll talk about at the end of the video but the
cool thing about the golden company is they’re essentially a mercenary group
started by Targaryen bastards made up of exiled Westerosi Lords so if you’re like
Sir Jorah and you’re exiled for whatever reason usually that’s where you go to
find work because if you’re a knight and you’re exiled you have crazy good skills
because even though the TV show didn’t show it off a whole lot Sir Jorah was an
anointed Knight as they actually called out during season seven so he had crazy
good skills even though he’s a little bit older on the TV show now so we’re
seeing him later in his life although he did show some mad skills up beyond the
wall during episode six but the whole thing about the golden company is that
they’re just a lot more trustworthy than the other cell sword companies my hand
kybun has made overtures to the golden company in Essos I know them well they
have helped us recover a significant sums from parties who would fall into
deep arrears it’s good to hear I too would like them to recover some things
that belong to me but as ty CONUS tourist tells Cersei they use them they
trust them and if the iron bank trusts someone to execute a contract it means
that they are legit but in the books we don’t really meet any golden company
characters until feast for crows book four and there’s a lot of Dorne plot
that gets tied up with it so obviously the TV shows going to do a slightly
different version and they don’t specifically mention that Jorah was a
member of the golden company but you may remember that season four moment where Daenerys calls him out it’s not a question
approval is a question of trust you neither approve nor trust well I would
hire them as a cell sort didn’t you fight for the golden company before
pledging your sword to my brother I did I trust you
there are a couple really important book characters that the TV show has cut out
or given storylines to other characters that we meet through them Jon connington and Aegon otherwise known as young grip so you have these golden company
characters that surface in Arianne Martell who’s one of the door and
characters the TV show has cut out gets word that they’ve broken their contract
their unbreakable contracts get broken because they’re turning to support Aegon’s bid for the throne so he’s sort of like this new contender that comes out
of nowhere with this seemingly perfect backstory so it all sounds a little too
good to be true but you have all these exiled Westerosi Lords including Jon
connington who was Rhaegar Targaryen ‘he’s
childhood friend he was his best friend growing up
so when Rhaegar died because jon connington supported the crown during
Robert’s rebellion he was exiled he went and joined the golden company there in
the middle of this campaign in Essos they drop everything they’re doing and
then head to Westeros and they’re getting ready to take storms and in the
books so they’re right there next to the Crown lands so it’s just another example
of a couple different campaigns for people to take the Iron Throne on the TV
show you just have Daenerys you have Cersei and then obviously we have the
surprise that Jon Snow is Aegon Targaryen so here’s where we get into
theory territory remember that Aegon Targaryen is part of
the golden company in the books they say screw you to the people that hired them
breaking their unbreakable contracts to back a Gon’s bid for the throne jon
connington one of the leaders of the golden company got part of his storyline
from the books given to Sir Jorah who used to be part of the golden company on
the TV show it was a grayscale plot Jon connington gets greyscale Jorah gets
greyscale obviously the TV show had a really weird storyline with jurors
greyscale I think that was really just a reason for him to not be around tenaris
there were some scheduling conflicts with the actors so they’re like okay
we’ll give him this greyscale plot from Jon connington and we’ll put him on the
sidelines for a couple episodes then he’ll come back to Daenerys so because
there are all these TV show things that are seemingly
lining up with book things for the golden company people are now wondering
if they’re going to break their contract on the TV show with Cersei in Bac Jon
Snow and Daenerys you just have to remember there are only six episodes in
season eight so I’m not expected to see them introduce any really really big
black fire characters they’ll probably be some verbal references to their
family their lineage so once they learn the truth of what’s going on with
Daenerys and the son of Rhaegar Targaryen somebody who they really loved
then in the way that you’ve seen the Dothraki support Daenerys we might see
the golden company’s support them now think about it this way how big are the
Dothraki characters during season seven they were very important we got to see
some really badass scenes like Episode four was an amazing Dothraki scene but
how many of them are like really fleshed out characters now like how many big
lines of dialogue they’re more like menacing characters in the background
you see them step up when Jon Snow tries to approach the throne they’re meant to
be very threatening but none of them get really big character moments they just
get big battle scenes so I wouldn’t be surprised if they treat the golden
company characters the same way like we’re they’re really badass like you see
gray worm in the finale it’s just like a very brief moment you see all these
unsullied legions lined up it looks super badass but we’re so late in the
game that you just don’t expect too many new big characters to get a lot of big
moments but if the golden company is going to betray Cersei there’s a number of
ways that they could choose to accomplish that and have a couple of
character moments like Sir Jorah talks to them and they believe that Daenerys
will give them back their titles in their lands if they help her out so in
the books they really do love this Aegon Targaryen character but part of the idea
is is that they’re exiled Westerosi Lords they want to come home they want
to be pardoned in Daenerys once she’s on the throne can do that for them or even
John depending on who you think’s going to wind up on the Iron Throne and because
so many people are going to die during season eight just think about all the
empty castles of Westeros this sort of a running joke on the TV show right now
like when they rolled up to Dragonstone in the first episode it was empty this
huge strategic position which is completely empty storm’s end is
completely empty right now even Highgarden
is completely empty there are so many castles just ripe for the taking for all
these exiled Westerosi Lords to come back if they want them but let me know
in the comments do you think because Sir Jorah got the Jon connington plot in the
books it because Aegon the person in the books that the golden company breaks
their contract to support is now sort of Jon Snow on the TV show do you think
that they’ll simplify golden company on the TV show and just have them break
their contract with Cersei to go add to Daenerys as forces as they’re fighting
the night king remember that line of dialogue from Cersei this is sort of her
tag line now no one walks away from me then what happens right after that Jaime
just walks right away he covers up his golden hand although that’s mostly for
winter protection because it’s really cold and because he doesn’t want people
on the road seeing him identifying him as Jaime Lannister in trying to kill him
or steal everything from him there is a Jaime video that I was planning on
making so why don’t I just do that tomorrow I’ll talk about his season 8
plot because there’s so much awesome brand reunion stuff that I’m excited
about Jaime and bran in the same room again Jaime and Brienne Jaime and pretty much everybody up at Winterfell but hopefully that explains TV show
golden company a little bit in how they might rope in some old book plot that
they’ve already skipped over the whole thing with the black fires the history
bittersteel I’m not expecting them to dig too deep
into that because they’ve only talked briefly about the black fires they
haven’t referenced the Blackfyre rebellion that much but we can talk
about black fires golden company bitter steel daemon Blackfyre in a future bonus

Here's my Game Of Thrones Season 8 Golden Company video. The show set up a number of big twists, so post all your theories in the comments. There are a number of ways they can pull it off! Posting my Jaime Season 8 video tomorrow. New Rick and Morty and Marvel soon too 🙂
They will help Jon or Danny. They were started by Targaryens.
Where is Meera and Howlen Reed and their Valyrian steel sword?
I highly doubt the Golden Company will break their contract in the show. Thing is, the golden company's contract was drawn up by the iron bank, not Cersei. The Iron Bank doesn't gamble. It chooses the victors. Why would they gamble on the Golden Company being able to take down dragons, a feet that's never been accomplished, when they can ensure Daenerys crushes Cersei now that she so foolishly paid back her entire debt in full? Golden Company in the show won't break their contract. They'll destroy Cersei because that's exactly what's laid out in their contract in the first place.
This video is SOOOO much more relevant now that the Season 8 has started!
Golden Company always fought for the Blackfyre family. Varys is the last Blackfyre, Aegon 6th and Daenerys are the last Targaryens. They could very well turn their backs on Cersei to support Jon and/or Dany in the series.
The Golden Campany's contract is likely with the Iron Bank, not with Cersei directly, which means Cersei may not have actually seen the contract. Since the Iron Bank analyzes situations heavily so that it lends money to parties that are likely to repay, they may have contracted the Golden Company to feign loyalty to Cersei and actually come to the aid of Daenerys. This would all but guarantee victory for their side and seem a much more sound investment.
I could see The Golden Company joining The King Of The North if..
The Night King hasn't turned the into his army..
Why am I watching this? I don't want potential spoilers (even guesses). Do I like to suffer?
Does anyone know who captain Strickland is?
If the golden company is loyal to targaryens why would they sign a contract to fight against Denarys???
Yes they will combine Young Griff and Jon. They will gloss over Bittersteel like they did with Bryndon Rivers
There is no doubt that the whole point of last season and this season was to set up Cersei as the main antagonist. As far as the NK goes, we may learn more from the next show concerning origin and purpose, but this is Game of Thrones, not the larger Song if I’ve and Fire really.
Otherwise, there is NO reason that Dany wouldn’t have taken the throne immediately. The fight against the dead is more of something that HAD to be wrapped up.
Your theory makes sense. I'd like to see it happen.
Spoilers ahead with this comment.
And question
Ok didn't Greyworm kill some of the men in the Golden company because he felt they were useless( technically he's a jerk)
But that might be the other reason why the Golden army would break from them.. 1 being mistreated and 2. Finding out that Targaryens are still planning to retake the throne
Castles are like Lamborghinis. You can get one but can you afford the upkeep. Farming willl be key; I totally believe your theory about the Golden Company
Meh to include the golden company without Young Griff is dumb.
I've been thinking this since they revealed the Aegon twist in the show! I wasn't sure how they would go about merging the Young Griff/Jon Snow storylines, and when Cersei said QYBURN (who I SWEAR is loyal to the Starks) was the one talking to the Golden Company…. 😮😀
I think they will wait until the last minute before the battle and turn on her and support Jon and Dany. And I think the last episode will be a time jump to when they're married and Dany will die delivering their child, hence our bittersweet ending. 😢
I think the Iron Bank probably hired the Golden Company for Daenerys and told them to pretend to support Cersei.
The decision by the Golden Company to break their contract (in the books) is based on a whole backstory that doesn't exist in the show, so it would be odd for them to suddenly rally to John Snow – who's going to convince them that he's Aegar – Sam? Bran? Also, we now know (midway through season 8) that there will be another war, so they have to fight for Cersei.
**SPOILER**
So the Golden Company hasn't been involved against the Night King but since we now know Jon Snow and Daenerys got basically no army left, then the Golden Company should turn on Cersei and help them.
Wasn’t the golden company loyal to the Targaryens
I believe the Golden Company isn’t going to break their contract. Cersi is going to run out of gold to pay them, and they’re going to promptly leave and join the other side. Mercenaries are paid at a rate, they aren’t bought like slaves. She stupidly paid the iron bank back in full, thus releasing them to support the side in which they prefer. (Dany and Jon) If she had merely shown them her gold but only paid payments, they would have had an interest in seeing her win the war so they can get their money back. So when it comes time to pay and she has no more gold, the bank isn’t going to lend to her because it’ll be lending to her enemies.
Tywin said: “It’s not that you’re a woman. I don’t trust you because you’re not as smart as you think you are.”
She thinks she is hot shit that she “listened to father” about gold. No she didn’t. She was never truly paying attention and always scoffed at money, thinking she was above it. Too bad because of this she never noticed how Tywin purposefully kept the crown in debt to the iron bank, as a means of buying their loyalty.
Hubris before the fall.
i think john snow (agon targarian) sides with cersi for peace and the golden company fights for him after finding out he is decended and named after agon while danaris goes mad like her father, everyone dies, john snow gets turned into a night king witch the original night king was named john snow to prevent the targarians going ape shit again. i think beratian and arya sit on the iron throne while the saunsa watches the north and the lanisters watches the banks and the realms of mean, on repeat o.O
Totally off topic but could you do a video on Jaimie possibly becoming the 1000th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch?
To me the only reason for the night king storyline was to get Jon and Danny together.
Water
Has she paid the Golden company enough for them to say, yeah we can fight Dragons, no problem…
And the Lannister’s owe the iron bank more gold than anyone. Who can say they’re going to fight for Cersei when she paid them with Gold from the Iron bank?
Their probably gonna back Jon when they find out that he’s Targaryen most likely and I hope they do I’m tired of seeing everything that happend to Jon and finally he gets the iron throne backed by the golden company I hope something like that happens
The Golden Company was actually bought and paid for with a signed contract by The Iron Bank…NOT Cersei…by her paying off the iron bank in full she made a huge mistake. Theres a reason her father never did that even though he could.
The Iron bank had too much money and time tied into the Lannisters to let them fail so they would always supply them since the next king or queen wouldn't inherit the Lannister debt, its better to lay with the Lion you know pays their debts than to fund a new king/queen you dont have that history with.
So by her paying them off she screwed herself because they are only faithful to whomever is paying them and who signed their contract…
The iron bank has their contract and has instructed them that if Danny looks as if she will win turn on Cersei and fight for Danny.
They wouldn't be breaking their contract they will be following their oath and finish out what they were paid to do by the bank…FIGHT FOR THE WINNING SIDE!
Would Love to see the Golden Company break the contract with Cersei and throw in with Jon!
What about Daario and the second soms? They gonna be a factor at all?
The golden company and Dorne will join Jon n Daenerys once Dorne hit the south side of kings Landing Cersei will realise she is fvcked Jamie will come home believe here child is Enron’s and stab her through the belly anointing himself as Azor ahai
I agree that the Golden Co will break deal with Cersei and side with Dani/John, fingers crossed anyway
Maybe the GC won’t betray Cersei bc the actor who played one of the soldiers, I think, said the GC wouldn’t do what we’re expecting to so what we are thinking is they will join Dany or Jon, but what if that’s exactly the thing they will not do??? With all the things that are happening in the show, Rhaegal’s death, Missandei’s death, mad queen Dany, I don’t know what to believe.
Gonna be some back story about how Rhayghar made a contract with golden company to protect his children. Somehow it will slip that he is Aegon and they turn on Cersi.
I vote on this theory to be probably the most accurate
Queen cersi : get me the golden company.
President trump : get me a golden shower.
Elephants!!! 😂🤣😂😂😂
So much for Ser Jorah convincing the Golden Company
Jora is dead. So there goes that failed theory – Next?
BlackFryer bastards are always to no good
…you still think clever things will happen…
The Jew writers aren't this clever.
only Jorah and Theon die
I actually love this theory, if it plays out this way, having the golden company outside the walls sort of makes sense like in the trailer.
7:08 …nope…
"Sir Jorah talks to them and convince them" Ugh, that hurt. So plausible, now impossible. RIP Jorah Mormont.
Oh you sweet summer child
still waiting for the lannisters to give Bronn a fookin CASTLEEEE.
and still wondering what podrick did to those girls…..
What if Varys is planning to reveal Jon Snow (aka Aegon Targaryen) to the Golden Company. Gold would no longer be the binding factor of the contract with Cersei.
Now this theory is fail….
RIP golden company
Walder Frey killed more people than The Golden Company
All these theories. All gone to shit, RiP
She burned thim all 🤦🏼♂️
This Theory didn't age well. They get like 40 sec of screen time.
No contract broken….soooooo now what? -_-
She now the mad queen??
This video is six times longer than the actual screentime of the Golden Company.
Well… they're dead now.
Lol, Nice try.
Well so much for the Golden Company
Well whoever was leading the golden company definitely tried to walk away 😂😂
nope they all just die
Well, you tried 🤣
ASll hype for nothing lol
Who was the golden company again?
lol so much for this
Golden company.. twentythousand men killed in less then 2 minutes PEPELAUGH
In the end the golden company died within seconds and utterly meaningless in the fight.
R.I.P
the mighty golden company was afk during 8-5
Do YOU still powder YOUR balls??
they didn't do nothing
bold of u to asume D&D would even remember all these details, even so that D&D would actually make good writing
They got shit on
Wow after all that they were just dragon fodder.
nope…..20000 golden company warriors killed by 1 dragon blast and a weakened winterfell army. its leader killed while running away……what a waste.
They lasted so long. 🙂
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha….
(cries in disappointment)
Golden company literally did less then Aaron Rodgers did with his cameo
got wasted in like 5 seconds….pointless
"The most powerful army in Esos" literally all die in 1 min 20 secs
Why even mention them just to obliterate the entire force in without a single one of them raising a single weapon? Its like HBO is trying to completely lose 7 years of credibility in one season.
Golden company never even got to a swing a sword lmao. What a shit show
WELL THIS DIDN'T AGE WELL 🙂
proof that fans have better ideas than the writters
Didn't turn out as expected….. lol
It pains to realize that Samwell Tarly killed more people than the golden company did.
Apparently the fans expectations were too high. It would have been safer to just not have any expectations.
THE GOLDEN FRIED CHICKEN !!!!
GOT made them look horrible. Lol..
Boy, the Golden Company were just fearsome weren't they? I've seen Boy Scout troops more menacing.
Clears throat
Welp….damn.
U learned well b*tch
Lol they were so good on the show…..sikeeeeeee
nah nah mama dany aint going to do nothing of that she will burn them all
This video was longer than golden company screen time
This was sooooooo disappointing. Golden company were done dirty by stupid D&D 😞
