[@TheHestya]

I think Jon showed great compassion by not prolonging his fear. He just got it over with, knowing the man was scared. He made it quick. That was 100% a kindness.

[@thedarkprince305]

One of the reason why Jon still beheaded him is that he said he was afraid and that’s weakness. You can’t be a brother of the Night Watch and let fear controls you. They call Samwell a coward but at the battle of Castle Black Samwell didn’t run, Janos did

[@drumaticpageofmusic4148]

Another is because he’s probably pissed because Grenn and Pyp died in battle protecting the Wall, yet Janos, who outranked them, hid in a closet and says that he’s “Afraid”. Jon’s probably thinking “My friends died and you say ‘I’m afraid’? Fuck you, then. I don’t need you.”

[@thedarkprince305]

@@drumaticpageofmusic4148 don’t forget about Ygritte. So that’s three people he care about dying in the same night

@@thedarkprince305 true. I just mentioned those two because they were fighting for the same reason that Janos was supposed to be fighting for

[@Daron7181]

Being afraid doesn’t make you a coward, it’s how you act in spite of it that determines courage.

[@snatchadams69]

Sam was never a coward he just wasn't a fighter...

[@Kyjohnson1500]

Jon not only got rid of their weakest link. But sent a message to his brothers that he's the one in charge now.

[@InalienableOtter]

Sent the message that you can’t lay shade then take it back while your head is on the chopping block. You have to be scared to stick your neck out in the first place. That’s military discipline. Jon’s leniency was reminding him that it’s a command, then asking if he’s refusing a command. That was when Janos could have backtracked. Waiting for his head to be on the block, when his expected mutiny didn’t happen, is too late.

[@ozzyjackdaniels386]

And after all these years I realized he also got revenge for Ned stark.

Slynt also betrayed Ned Stark. He said the City Watch were with Ned but then killed Ned's men etc.

[@multiplefan682]

In my opinion beheading was too kind.

[@snatchadams69]

He also beat Sansa

[@Dorne_is_the_GOAT]

The best part was that this wasn't personal. This was a mercy killing cause Janos Slynt was legitimately terrified of their enemies north of the wall so Jon made his death clean and quick without pain. Also the fact Jon doesn't know that Janos had betrayed his father.

[@arandomguysshh8614]

"Good Jon, good. Kill him. Kill him now."

[@canadian__ninja]

It may have been coincidence but I love how Jon buys Thorne's loyalty right before by respecting him and giving him one of the highest honours a Ranger can have.

[@kimberlywilmoth9184]

That wasn't Jon's intention at all. Jon himself is an extremely honorable and respectful man. He gave Thorne the position because he knew he was the most deserving and most qualified. Besides, Alliser wasn't loyal to Jon after that...he killed him.

[@canadian__ninja]

@@kimberlywilmoth9184 he didn't buy Thorne's loyalty to him persay, he bought his loyalty to the night's watch as a unit, and ensured no mutiny. The betrayal later I don't hold against him. It's a long winded explanation but the tldr is that I fully understand why he did it. And make no mistake, Slynt was one of Thorne's men. That was one reason why he was so uppity. He thought he was going to be protected.

[@canadian__ninja]

I'll put it another way. It would have been very easy to give command of the ruined fort to Thorne. Literally everyone in the room, Thorne included, expected it. Instead he gives him a position of power as the defacto second in command. If Jon didn't allow the Wildlings through he would have never had to worry about a mutiny

[@kimberlywilmoth9184]

@@canadian__ninja He shouldn't have had to worry about it in the first place. He's the LC, he can do as he pleases. Besides, letting them through was the right call.

[@davewade30]

Jon Snow cures Lord Janos of his cowardice. 😁👍

[@Kit_Mundo]

Frog-faced Lord Slynt sat at the end of the council table wearing a black velvet doublet and a shiny cloth-of-gold cape, nodding with approval every time the king pronounced a sentence. Sansa stared hard at his ugly face, remembering how he had trown down her father for Ser Ilyn to behead, wishing she could hurt him, wishing that some hero would throw him down and cut off his head. But a voice inside her whispered, There are no heroes…” - Sansa, A Game Of Thrones

[@memecity9849]

Even though getting greyguard was a form of punishment, it was still a reward. He was given command of the castle where he would have had some power but nope!

[@Axel1051]

Jon had respect and loyalty from all the guys who voted for him. But all the doesn’t mean damn thing if he can’t command a degree of fear.

[@naifdafirenze4408]

You know, if Jon didn’t behead him, his men will start talking about how the commander is having second thoughts and is weak.

Janos slynt betray Ned stark and Jon beheaded him that's my Friends Is pure Justice

[@SpiralSine6]

The comparison between Jon’s and Robb’s executions shows just how unready Robb was for command in these brutal times. He could lead his men in battle, send them to die for him, but he couldn’t end their lives with clear mind and soul for betraying him. It took him three gruesome strikes with a large pole axe to behead Karstark; whereas Jon has a single clean swing, clear and focused.

[@lucks4fools978]

Having a Valyrian Steel Sword does help massively with chopping off someone’s head.

[@nostalgicbliss5547]

[@arthurkazuya8750]

I think Robb beheaded in first strike too. It was theon who couldnt do it.

[@santanaduncan9047]

Ned taught his sons/nephew how to wield swords and behead when necessary! The series began with a beheading of a Knights Watchman... it was Theon Grey who couldn't yield his sword and behead with precision

[@tblack6974]

And Theon...lol he basically hacked away Sir Roderick's head. Like no experience at all....especially after watching Ned so many times lol

[@TheRubberDuck77]

There is a difference between being boss and being bossy, Janos would have been bossy. Jon was being boss. The one rule you DO NOT BREAK on the wall, refusing the order of the Lord Commander. As soon as he did he signed his own death warrant. At that point Jon couldn't show mercy even if he wanted to.

[@kagani6202]

Jon is better than me, he gave him 3 chances to accept that deal, personally I would’ve fed him to Ghost after he called me a bastard.

[@tararocksong5085]

Yeah, when someone with higher rank than you gives you an order, you obey w/o question. But fight/disobey the order and there’re consequences for going against your superior.

[@ChrisVillagomez]

Someone else pointed it out further down in the comments: Janos Slynt was all, "Orders are orders", when Tyrion confronted him about killing babies on Lannister orders, but all of a sudden, "Orders aren't orders" anymore because they came from Jon? Plus, weakness and disobeying orders is not something the Night's Watch can afford. Sam didn't even hide during the Battle for Castle Black, yet Janos hid with Gilly and the baby. Janos deserved it

[@EphremWondafrash-qz9mi]

Jon got his revenge but he doesn't even knowing that

[@commantermormont1657]

While reading the books I always liked Jon, he was in my top 10 favorite characters with Stannis being the 1st. When I read that scene, Jon jumped up to 2nd place instantly. Right after King Stannis.

[@ethanyolme8041]

I was in military service and this 100 % accurate,u insult ur commander in private and u might get away with it,but if u do it in public u get lucky if they just fire you,this is modern day military and im sure in the past the insult meaning death

[@alt7244]

Jon did exactly what his father taught him to do from the very first episode

[@lmtupac5758]

Ned beheaded a rogue boy, then he was beheaded Rob beheaded a Carstark man, then he was massacred in Frey castle Jon beheaded this man, and was massacred by these men. You see is not a good idea for starks to behead others lol

[@quasimotto8653]

I think there was a good chance Jon was going to show mercy. But where Slynt lost that opportunity was when he said, "I'm afraid...........I've always been afraid". When he said that, the look in John's face told me that he knew that he couldn't allow someone that proclaimed himself to be such a coward to remain in the Watch; the cowardice was spread and poison the rest of the men.

the show version didn't understood the meaning of that scene..it is far more symbolic in the books because it was supposed to symbolize and transfom him into a more mature,darker and ruthless version of himself...it shows that he is ready to do questionable things to acheive his goal and ready to kill his own men if they question his authority then fucking D&D made him a stereotype action hero and goody two shoes

[@drumaticpageofmusic4148]

He literally executed his own man in the show because he thought Jon was too much of a chicken and screwed with him. Jon put him in his place and proved why you don’t fuck with him and it seemed like that was his first time that he was willing to go to that level.

[@calebsmommy812]

It was more than that in the books. Janos was the man that brought Ned to his knees to be executed, and Sansa hopes that one day a hero will bring him to his knees the same way. Then Jon does.
