'Game of Thrones': This Is Why Book Readers Hated Jon Snow
The Big Picture Oh, Jon Snow. Watcher of the Wall, progenitor of memes, pouter of face. Kit Harington shot to fame as the recalcitrant bastard son of Ned Stark with a destined heritage more significant than anyone except internet message boards could have imagined, and Harington gave the Game of Thrones role his considerable talents. Millions were captivated by Jon's persistence, temper, pretty boy angst, and courage on the battlefield.
But his Night's Watch brothers are remorseful as they murder their beloved and admired Lord Commander. Despite his inscrutable glowers and haughty isolation, Jon realizes his mistakes early on during his tenure with the Night's Watch. He becomes a mentor, teacher, and friend to his Brothers, slowly and steadily maturing past that chip on his shoulder thanks to worldly experience.
How HBO's ‘Game of Thrones’ Failed Jon Snow In comparison, "Jon Show" is truly, actually boring. Benioff and Weiss missed the memo about trope subversion and instead turned the intelligent boy into a blank-faced physical badass. It's no fault of Kit Harington's; much blame can be assigned to aging up the characters. Harington was in his mid-20s when Game of Thrones began, and it robs Jon's maturation of its believable nuance.
