      I absolutely loved this vid. Jon is the undisputed moral compass & reluctant but inspirational & idealistic hero of the entire saga. He's King Arthur, Aragorn, Superman & Captain America all rolled into 1 :)
      Jon does share some similar traits as Danearys like you said but try as Danearys might to be an enlightened ruler, she still mercilessly & ruthlessly feeds people to her dragons, crucifies prisoners & is extremely arrogant (Examples: Not wanting to help Jon until he bends, refusing to heed Tyrion's sound advice about naming an heir in case she dies). The big difference between Jon & Danearys is that Danearys wants, craves & expects power while Jon doesn't care for power only to protect his loved ones, his friends & his people no matter the risk to himself and that is why Jon is the only one who can truly break the wheel & rebuild Westeros for the better. Jon sees the bigger picture while Danearys is blind to it!!!
      How about a vid centering on Theon Greyjoy: The Kraken raised by Wolves, both Greyjoy & Stark :)

      Did you know Jon's "Stark Sigil" has flown alone atop Winterfell since the pilot?
      The White Wolf on the Grey background has been the Stark symbol in the intro from the beginning. So have D&D been telling us from the start Jon was the most noble member of the Stark house?

    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 "

      Jon snow basically never asked for all these responsibilities and power, title, duty like ned stark never asked for to be the Lord of Winterfell, never asked to be a father to jon and pretend he is his bastard, basically the same as never asked all this much responsibilities and power.
      Ned stark has been put under so much weight of responsibilities and power.

    • @Brandonhayhew
      @Brandonhayhew 6 лет назад +5

      One more thing lord Jon, if rheagar lived and your uncle brandon lived somehow?
      Uncle ned would be in essos as a sellsword, and you be a trained and educated to be a prince, but what about your half siblings elia's kids?

    • @crimsonblade1857
      @crimsonblade1857 6 лет назад +1

      Why would Father be a sell sword and what are you talking about being raised as a prince and other siblings?

    • @Brandonhayhew
      @Brandonhayhew 6 лет назад +5

      Jon Snow I mean is image it in some alternative universe where Ned's father and brother lived, your grandfather and uncle the heir to winterfell, and your real father Mr, rheagar and Mrs lyanna lived, but had other big problems like broken betrothal with robert, elia martell and her kids being dumped by rheagar and having her marriage annulled and her kids never be heirs, this is just asking a war with dorne, and your crazy other grandfather the mad king, all this is on your father Mr rheagar?
      Ned your uncle would be a sellsword, because his a second son who got nothing to inheritance in the north, uncle benjen already got the job as a NW Ranger, Ned's career option be limited, so there for, there is this sellswords company known as company of roses in essos, formed by northmen after Aegon's Conquest.

    So sick of the Jon haters. I agree with this video in that Jon has always been the center of the story, while simultaneously remaining independent of the politics of Westeros and of the Seven Kingdoms. Out of all the characters, Jon has always remained “Jon.” Like him or not, he is the balance of “Ice and Fire.” And he’s the only one who has come by his power through elections, and not by conquest. He doesn’t even want power. I’ve always gotten the impression that all he wants to do is drink a good tankard of ale with those he loves. Hell, in Season 6, he was pretty much guilted into the Battle of the Bastards, and only agreed to go through with it for Rickon and Sansa. Jon. Fucking. Snow. That is all.

    Jon snow is a Disney character. He has a magic sword, a loveable animal side kick, a mean step mother, he is the chosen one and everything always goes right for him and works out no matter the odds.

    • @Brandonhayhew

    • @braemtes23
      @braemtes23 6 лет назад +37

      Dany and all the Stark kids have animal sidekicks; most great houses in Westeros have magic swords; Beric Donderrion has a magic sword;
      Dany is also a chosen one and things always go right and work out for her. Etc., etc. Are they all Disney characters, too?

      How is he chosen one, he was bastard and outcast for most of the show? He was hated by his adopted mother and most of the folk who didn't liked bastard children. Magic sword, wtf is that??? Everything always goes his way, really? He lost the love of his life Ygritte, two of his brothers, his father, his commander Mormont, his mentor and one of the only alies in the Night watch Aemon and yeah, he lost his damn life. Yap, everything always goes his way, sure...

    His family is home and he is in love
    Now he is gonna go home to see how Arya his fav sister is a psycho
    Bran is on weed
    Sansa takes no shit
    He will learn his Farther who he thought never lied, lied to him all his life
    And his now real father plunged the realm into chaos so he could be born for a prophecy
    The women he loves is now his aunt
    His name is AEGON named after the most important man in history
    And his is heir to the throne he never wants

      What I mean is what about his long dead half siblings who was killed in the sack of kings landing, and their mother who got dumped by Jon's real father, named jon aegon, who already had a son aegon with his first wife.
      And also what about this long as journey for jon to reach the iron throne and he never wants it at all what was the point of all this much death and changes?

  • @squamish4244

    Jon is the biggest and perhaps the decisive reason the show's managed to hold my interest over seven seasons filled with a lot of scumbags and horribleness. I appreciate all that stuff, but it would probably be too overwhelming without him as a counterbalance.

    • @nexis1293

    • @squamish4244
      @squamish4244 6 лет назад +42

      Suit yourself. Is Jon cliched or just traditional? Traditional does not mean bad.
      If Jon had died for good at the end of Season 5 I think it would have been the last straw for many people.

    • @squamish4244
      @squamish4244 6 лет назад +46

      If GRRM didn't want Jon to come back to life, he would have stayed dead. And Jon's story in the first four seasons was just as GRRM had written it. So that's the problem of book fans, but not the author, or show fans. And a lot of both book and show fans definitely DID want him to come back to life. Jon as a Targaryen had been written into the story since Book 1 as well.
      I think as the books dragged on the series became something GRRM never intended or wanted it to be. He turned a number of fantasy tropes on their heads and played with many more, but he kept many intact. Jon's story, for example, has followed every beat of the classic Hero's Journey so far. But the more years passed as the book series went without being completed, the more some fans started expecting it to destroy EVERY fantasy trope in existence - at least, the ones concerning characters - and if it didn't, they got angry and considered it a failure...or called it bullshit.

      Daron Gates Sansa has a similar issue like Jon
      On a smaller scale
      Battling between Being a Tully and a stark
      For example she hated Jon as a child
      But as she’s got older she loved Jon as family
      As a stark would

    • @Dumpknoedel
      @Dumpknoedel 6 лет назад +14

      I'd love her to compare Arya and Sansa. Cause Arya's strength is pretty masculine while Sansa's is more feminine. I think that's why Arya's more popular even though many of her views are not that smart and her father would be disappointed in her imo.

    Jon, is the most human character in the book. He is human because he represents a set a behaviors, that we can aspire too. His arc follows the traditional hero archtype. You also mentioned the two faults of the previous heroes. Ned, was extreme in his dedication and honor. It separated him from the world. It's leads to his death because to be that dedicated, you have to be selfish in your dedication. Rob, broke his promise because of his love. He selfishly chose his needs, over the needs of his men or the Lord's pledged too him. It ends with his death.

It’s so cool coz all the fire wolf pups are a reflection of the stark children. So Ghost being White is a clue to how Jon Snow is a Targaryen.

    • @marymuth4673
      @marymuth4673 5 лет назад

      You want to know why she hated?? Let's start off with the first season. She was lady like but like in a stuck up way. She made decisions that put the her worst places. Like if she was truth about the fight with Joffery, Arya and the stable boy then her Direwolf might be still alive. Two she is rather helpless. She had to have people protect her or make the big decisions. If she made her own it would really bad ones like sending the letter to Rob or staying with little finger. Three even she gained some wisdom, it got to her head and made her really annoying. Like questioning Jon during season 6. You should question people like Jon on certain matters but like the old saying there is a time and place for such questions. Four, Sansa is one of those characters that some like me find rather annoying and snobby when first watching the show. Face she was that way. Now spending time, Cersi, and Petter, she has gotten smarter, less naive, whiny and weak. Five, she blamed Arya for the death of her Direwolf, Lady. In fact it was more her fault than Arya's, like I said before if she had been honest not just telling to truth about Joffery lying and the fact that she lied about 'loving' riding horses then, they wouldn't have gone around Arya and her dueling partner anyway. Its pretty her own fault her Direwolf had died. Also she acted like she was only to lose something that day. Arya had lost her Direwolf as well and her friend who was ran by the hound. So they both had lost their Direwolves that day. Hmm. I can't think of anything else..

I don't know who they thought they were fooling by trying to pass off whatever that cringy, repetitive, pushover "character" in 8x02 - 8x05 was as Jon Snow, but it most certainly was not him!!

He never wanted to be Lord Commander but his comrades thought he earned it through his bravery and honor. He never wanted to be Da King In Da Norf but The Northmen, Valemen, and hell even The Wildlings appointed him to that position because they thought he earned it once again, through his bravery and honor. There was build up, 7 seasons of it... and then Season 8 happened and Jon ends up as King of The Wildlings which could lead to future conflict. Instead, Bloodraven -- I mean Bran is King and now Westeros is under a dictatorship/surveillance.

      Honestly though, I just can't get behind Jon ever actually going by Aegon Targaryen... he's just waaay too much a Stark for such a Targaryen name to ever suit him, and I feel like he would feel the same! I think most likely he'd just always stick with Jon Snow, even if he had asserted his claim to the throne, but if not: Jon Stark-Targaryan is a pretty boss name :)

    He had the most experience to be a leader and king!
    -lord commander
    -king in the north
    -unified the free folks
    Yet when he learned he’s the legal heir all they ever gave him as a line is “I don’t want it” come on!

    You say he hadn't faced death towards the end. Forgetting that he was killed by the night's watch?
