@teardropcinema: One of the most unexpected and devastating character arcs in the series. Moments like this are why Game of Thrones is still argued to be the greatest fantasy show ever made. Hodor was never meant to be a hero. For five seasons he’s treated as a joke, a question mark, a gentle figure in the background. A man with one word. No past. No future. Or so it seems. Then The Door rewrites everything. His life isn’t small at all. It’s been moving toward one moment from the start. “Hold the door” isn’t a command. It’s a sentence that fractures a child across time. Hodor doesn’t choose to be brave. It’s forced into him. His entire existence narrows to one act: buying seconds for someone else, at the cost of himself. What makes it unbearable is who he is. Not a king. Not a warrior. Just the kindest person in the room, given a fate he never understood and no chance to escape it. Fantasy rarely lets characters like this matter. Game of Thrones did, and it didn’t soften the blow. At its best, the show wasn’t about dragons or battles. It was about small, overlooked lives — and how much it hurts when they’re finally seen. 🎬 Game of Thrones — Season 6, Episode 5: The Door | IMDb 9.7 💧 Best for: sacrifice, kindness, selflessness, fate, grief #gameofthrones #hodor #thedoor #holdthedoor #dontholdbackthetears

I really hated Bran after knowing he was the reason Hodor was like that😭

Gigi :

Hold the Door!

Martin O Connell :

This is the one that broke me. Poor Hodor.

ajlied :

Could be the same reason why the mad king kept yelling “burn them all” maybe bran didn’t do it but perhaps blood raven did it🤷‍♂️

Kenneth Franko :

He held the door his whole life

This is the only scene I cried at in GoT. Red Wedding did nothing. This? Sobbed. Absolutely broke my heart

LSUzombie13 :

Devastating? No way. He got to be a hero that day. This peasant that was made fun of and looked down upon rose to a level he never imagined in his life. He did it without even hesitation
