Unsuccessful Series Recaps

Nick Douglas Fails to Make a Comprehensive Game of Thrones Summary

— July 14, 2014 — Pop Culture
In an absurd YouTube video, Nick Douglas attempts to complete a Game of Thrones summary of the entire book series in 2 minutes. He fails miserably.

In an awkwardly hilarious upload to the Slacktory channel, Douglas tries to explain all five books in the fantasy series penned by George R.R. Martin. A Song of Ice and Fire inspired the hit television show on HBO, which was recently nominated for multiple Emmy awards. Douglas not only fails to recap the series in 2 minutes, he also falls short of giving a comprehensible Game of Thrones summary. With an enormous amount of information for each book, Douglas struggles to find the most important parts, trips over his words and curses often. For example, he fails to mention the Wall until Book 4.
Trend Themes
1. Short Recap Videos - There is an opportunity to create short, comprehensive recap videos of popular books, shows, and movies for people who may not have the time to read/watch them in full.
2. AI-assisted Summaries - The creation of AI-assisted programs that can accurately summarize book series like A Song of Ice and Fire and other complex materials can save time and effort for readers and audiences alike.
3. Entertaining Edutainment - The development of amusing and engaging edutainment programs that can educate audiences while entertaining them can become a new trend.
Industry Implications
1. Online Education - Online education platforms can develop courses that teach people how to summarize books like A Song of Ice and Fire and create their own short recaps.
2. AI Technology - AI companies can develop programs that can accurately summarize complex materials like books and other written works for easier consumption by users.
3. Entertainment - TV and movie industries can produce entertaining edutainment shows that help audiences learn complex subjects in an amusing and enjoyable way.
