Even in Season 1 when Jon took his vow at the Night's Watch in it he said he , " would wear no crowns" Foreshadowing. I agree though, he should have been King. The one who doesn't seek power is usually the best type of ruler, so saying he doesn't want it is pointless. He was a leader. That being said there was a ton of foreshadowing that 1) Jon wouldn't be King 2) Dany was like her father the Mad King and would go mad herself 3) that Bran would be King. Everyone likes to act as if they ruined the show in season 8, but in reality if you picked up the clues it was there all along. I knew since Dany watched her brother die in season 1 that she was no heroine. No tears either. I said it then to my husband, "oh, she's going to go full Mad Queen one day." Heroes don't act the way she did even to their enemies.

The way Varys described serving for so many kings, more than anyone, and being very intellectual and knowledgeable about history and understanding that every king he had witnessed and learned about always loved the idea of being King. Maybe some were less greedy and prideful than others but still seemed to be a thing that was common in all. EXCEPT Jon Snow. He truly didn’t want it. Yet he always acted like a true king. Unlike Dany who was full of pride and entitlement only because of her last time. Even with Jon knowing the truth about himself, he still didn’t want it and Varys recognized him as the true king not because of his birth right either but because of his character. Jon hated to be violent, Dany just cared about how she would be looked at because of it but Jon truly didn’t want that on his soul. He was all the right qualities not just for a king but to be the very best of them all. WHY DID THEY MESS UP THE ENDING SO MUCH, like why?? Even with the same amount of episodes they could have at the very least stay on track with everything but instead decided to wipe their behinds with all those years of hard work and dedication and give us something worse than an elementary kid could dish out.

If in Dorne bastards last names are Sand, and in Winterfell Snow. In High Garden probably be “Grass or vegetables” and in Catle Rock probably “Stone” ? Hahaahaha lol 😂

[@archangelgaming6301]

for high garden the surname is Flowers and the surname Stone is used for the bastards of Vale.

[@sashazukiwskyj3071]

Flowers: The Reach Hill: The Westerlands Pyke: The Iron Islands Rivers: The Riverlands Sand: Dorne Snow: The North Stone: The Vale of Arryn Storm: The Stormlands Waters: The Crownlands

Sure, Bran can see things that happened in the past, things happening right now all over the world, but can he see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

[@jjh2456]

Bran probably loves Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

[@coohllplays5863]

A song(Jon) of fire(Rhaegar) and ice(Lyanna).

[@blkprophet7685]

I never understood why Jon's real name was Aegon. Lannan knew Rhaegar already had 2 children, including a son named Aegon already. Why give him the same name?

[@vlredreign]

That is a show thing. However...remember that Lyanna is a Stark. The stronger ones have warging abilities. We're told that she has 'wolf blood'. It is possible that she and Rhaegar intended to name Jon another Targaryen name; Aemon, perhaps, after Maester Aemon, Rhaegar's favorite uncle. But perhaps in her labors, when her guard would be down, she 'saw' baby Aegon being murdered, and therefore the name was available for the taking. Just a random thought.

[@PabloRestobar]

Because dumb writing

[@maylovely5226]

Cause Rhaegar always believed in a prophecy where his son would be named Aegon and would do great things, and since his first son was not turning into that, he thought that Lyana’s son would be the right one

[@blkprophet7685]

@May lovely the prophecy never specifies anyone named Aegon... And really, it's immaterial. I'm just wondering why name Jon Aegon when Rhaegar already had a son with the same name. And even if Lyanna got wind that the Mountain had killed baby Aegon and Rhaenys, isn't it a little sick to name your newborn after his deceased half brother?

[@TheCdathomas]

@@blkprophet7685 I think his name is going to be Aemon in the book. There's a scene where Jon remembers playing with Robb as children in Winterfell where Jon pretends to be "Prince Aemon, the Dragon Knight."

[@jackson_craft_gamingscates9324]

its almost as if Ser Arthur Dayne knew a little more about the entire situation (including the future that is to come of this situation)

No one would believe Rhaegar didn’t kidnap Lyanna, Jon and the Kingguard would still get Roberts wrath

The soundtrack is so good when Ser Arthur Dayne and Ned was talking

[@doubler9893]

And to think Bran knows all this and still made himself king lol

[@tonyattardo9350]

5:24 you can count a little malice in Ser Daynes eyes, even though he is the coldest professional he still needs a touch of rage to engage in his craft.

So howland reed also knows the truth with Ned ? Such a loyal friends

[@8mmkyle865]

smh Lyanna getting married in the light of the seven instead of in front of a weirwood tree. Which I think she will in the books, because the only way for Bran to look into the past is through weirwood trees.

[@chrisquiett1776]

Ned doesn't get enough credit. Arthur Dane is the greatest swordsman to ever live and he stood his ground. Yeah, he was losing but still, that's an accomplishment. And Dane knowing he was going to die protecting his king from Robert was badass. "I wish you good fortune in the wars to come" if he thought he was walking out he would have just said battle. He knew it was a losing fight and he still gave his life. I'd love to see Dane in his prime vs Jamie in his prime. That would be an epic fight

[@giorgikobalava7430]

And what exactly was sister fucker's impressive feat ? stabbing mad king in the back ? his badarse image was entirely built on reputation. Natural prodigy blah, blah, blah. Fucking Brienne of Tarth hammered him for crying out loud !!!!!

His sword made its way from being stuck in the ground to back in its sheath

Look closely, the sword on the left comes from the ground.

evil bran didn't tell the incest secret of lanister but wanted to tell the truth of jon ao bad because he knew it was perfect for him to become king

[@biforpotterbot9813]

If Lyanna had told Ned the truth he would’ve sided with the Targaryens

[@anotherworld_metal_community]

He wouldn't. Mad King still must die.

[@Themrine2013]

Theres a theory that she did but lysa Tully, Hoster Tully, or Peter beylish stopped or hid the raven or letter to start the war against the mad king.

[@closetglobe.IRGUN.NW0]

Doubt it. Why would he side with the targs that killed his dad and brother?

[@Themrine2013]

@@closetglobe.IRGUN.NW0 Aerys did that not Rhaegar. If the truth came out Lyanna wasnt kidnapped early on before the battle of the trident than things may have changed especially if ned knew the truth.

[@closetglobe.IRGUN.NW0]

@@Themrine2013 it would change very little. Jon and ned would still try to kill aerys for killing family. And we don't know if rhaegar would be fine with that. Even if lyanna told robert and ned she wasn't kidnapped that wouldn't stop Robert and his ego from killing rhaegar

“Love is the death of duty” Ned Starks love for his sister went above his loyalty to his king, his wife, his children. His reputation as an honourable man was never really true, and every time he was told he was a man of honour, Sean bean portrayed that inner conflict, years before the story unfolded.
