  1. Jon isn't all that good though. Jon betrayed the watch, killed a child, and stole his sister's rightful power of Winterfell. Jon stumbled into almost everything while making the stupidest decisions possible. Letting the wildlings in without explaining clearly why he’s doing which gets him stabbed, betraying the watch (something no one brings up), not trying to gather more northern houses to his side before fighting the Boltens, charging by himself to save Rickon, having Sansa win the battle by requesting help from Littlefinger though a convenient deus ex machina and plenty of other decisions. He’s probably the worst leader to have. And than of course he’s neojesuslukeskywalker secretly in a show that breaks tropes.

  2. Asks Mance to bend the knee and forget pride, Dany asks the same thing. Forgives the Umbers ad Karstarks for their father's mistakes, Dany again asks the same. Tells Theon the words he will need to hear himself next season. Looks like other people's key moments play a significant role in preparing him for his own key moments; he would have to be pretty thick not to make the connection, learn from these people's experiences and apply his own words of wisdom to himself. LOL

  3. I take it that the message GRRM was trying to deliver is that the unlikely people in this story are the real heroes; Tyrion is the worthy Hand; Jon is the kingly & honorable bastard; etc.

    But if Jon is a Targaryen, then his arc is meaningless; i.e. it doesn’t matter that you’ve proven your worth through action & sacrifice, what matters is that you’re born into wealth & power; that negates GRRM’s entire message … unless I’m missing something …

  4. 1. Gets elected to be the lord commander of the nights watch not even sighing up for it.
    2. Made King in the North without even asking for it.
    3 . When they tell him that he's a Targ and rightful king of the 7 kingdoms, he's gonna be like "If you stop electing me for shit I didn't sign up for it'll be great "

  5. This video is really cool. I would like to see a video about the parallelism between Jon (Ice) and Daenerys (Fire) who are the key to the story (GRR Martin told it to the producers of the show, Alan Taylor revealed it in an interview). I want a video on the Song of Ice and Fire!

  6. Jon will sacrifice himself and die. Dany will die give birth to Jon's Son/Daughter. That Son/Daughter will be the ruler that bring peace and prosperity to the lands, guided by Tyrion, Varys and Missandei. Protected by Jaimie and Grey Worm.
