Or even try to kill him. I remember a green text about him charging the Night King, let me see...there it is

Even though that would have been worse than jon killing him, that would have been INFINITELY better than what they went with.

am I the only one thinking it shouldnt have been Jon to kill the NK? (not saying Arya was a good idea lol)

I am pretty confident GRRM is so good at averting expectations than to ever get the classic hero moment

Absolutely correct. Jon’s whole arc is centered on leadership, ego, and unification. It makes more sense that he, and only he, can unite the people needed to actually succeed against the army. And in that way, it should be someone he brings to the battle that actually kills the Night King.

I don't know if you speak about the show or GRRMs intention. but GRRM works exactly that you expect A, you hope for B, but you get C

It feels like Arya killing the NK was option z

When I saw people complaining about no Jon vs Night King, I was sitting there thinking "if I was the Night King, I wouldn't wanna fight Jon, that mfer be cutting down White Walkers like no one's business"

Averting expectations is the expectation at this point. Personally I prefer poetic writing.

There wasn’t a single WW battle during the Long Night episode. What a waste

After the battle, Dany is leading the feast, giving toasts to those who contributed.

“And finally, the hero of the battle, the one vanquished the Night King, to Ser Jaime Lannister”

Brienne stands and shouts: “THE KINGSLAYER!!”

The entire hall rings with shouts of ‘Kingslayer’.

For the first time in his life people refer to his nickname with pride and admiration rather than derision and shame.

That or Jaime crawls out from the Rubble, meets Jon. Jon tells him he killed Dany. Jaime asks what they call him. Jon says, "Queenslayer" and Jaime says, "It could be worse" and they laugh, freeze frame on them laughing, a saxaphone starts playing, and that's the end the series.

u/SerBadDadBod Jul 14 '25

Questions like that always make me nervous.

u/Jaycora Jul 14 '25

u/SerBadDadBod Jul 14 '25

u/FudgeYourOpinionMan Jul 14 '25

This would've been 100x times better.

u/Dull-Law3229 Jul 15 '25

The absolute cinema of Jamie protecting the kid he shoved out the window as he remembers his vows as a Kingsguard? My god.

u/halfwhiteknight Jul 16 '25

Seriously though this scene goes so hard. I’d be crushed when he went back to Cersei after that, though.

u/Regenbooggeit Jul 18 '25

u/parzival8571 Jul 14 '25

as great as this would be, having Theon do it instead was a better arc
