0:00.0 | In the last episode, we compared Achilles to Damon Targaryen, and at the end of that episode, we gave clues for the next parallel lives. |
0:07.6 | This time, it's two characters from Westeros, Megor the Cruel, and Gregor Clegane the Mountain that rides. |
0:14.4 | Let's review the clues we gave with a fuller explanation. |
0:17.5 | First of all, even their name sounds a little similar, take out the first two letters and it's E-G-O-R. |
0:22.7 | Egor, yeah, they're both Egor. They're both huge men. |
0:26.4 | That almost goes without explaining. |
0:28.6 | Gregor is the largest person we've ever seen in Westeros, as far as I know. |
0:33.7 | And Megor, well, not quite that big, the biggest Targaryen we know of, pretty easily so. |
0:40.0 | I don't think there's anyone else from the Targaryen family that's even particularly close. |

0:56.2 | That's our next clue. |
0:57.4 | And in the case of Megor, he was knighted by his own father, Aegon the Conqueror. |
1:03.3 | Gregor's case is a little more tragic. |
1:06.3 | He was knighted by Regar Targaryen, and then Gregor turned around to rape Regar's wife and kill his son, quite brutally. |
1:13.8 | Which brings us to our next comparison. |
1:16.0 | They're both ultra-violent, and there's notable, repeated examples of extreme cruelty and brutality from them both. |
1:21.8 | Look at what Gregor did to Vargo Hoat. |
1:24.6 | Look at what he did to Sandor as a child. |
1:26.4 | Look at what he did to that innkeeper's daughter. |
1:28.2 | Look at what he did to all those people in the riverlands. |
