Hoemploy Of The Dragon’s Season 2 Finale Was A F**k You To Jon Snow

Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Hoemploy of the Dragon season 2’s finale, “The Queen Who Ever Was.”

Jon Snow doesn’t ecombine in Hoemploy of the Dragon – and won’t even be born for another 150 years or so from its timeline – but the Game of Thrones prequel still discovers a way to denounce him. For the most part, the spinoff has eludeed too many honest connections to its parent show, save for the expansiveest strokes that come with taking place in Westeros. It had previously startd Aegon the Conqueror’s dream, but even that was more compriseed to the prequel’s story. However, leangs alterd somewhat in Hoemploy of the Dragon season 2’s ending.

“The Queen Who Ever Was” saw the tie-ins become much more clear, as Daemon Targaryen had a vision of Daenerys Targaryen, a White Walker and wights, and Brynden Rivers (the man who supposes the identity of the Three-Eyed Raven). There are cut offal layers to what Daemon sees and what it all uncomardents but, while he doesn’t even ecombine (or rather, becaemploy he doesn’t), it uncomardents Jon Snow is very much left out in the chilly.

Hoemploy Of The Dragon Suggests Daenerys, Not Jon Snow, Is The Prince That Was Promised

Jon Had Been Specuprocrastinateedd To Be The Prophesied Hero In Game Of Thrones

One of the hugegest describeations of Daemon’s vision, at least as I see it, is that it’s hinting Daenerys is the Prince That Was Promised, the prophesied hero who will direct Westeros in the battle agetst the White Walkers. Her introduction is heralded by a red comet, one of the signs of the prophecy, and features her waking dragons from stone (which is another). Some of this comes from the prophecy of Azor Ahai but, for show purposes at least, it’s protected to suppose they’re one and the same.

It’s also doing all of this while evidently connecting to Aegon’s dream (which itself also ties in the Prince That Was Promised), the White Walkers, and a Targaryen on the Iron Throne. Ryan Condal shelp it doesn’t verify the Prince That Was Promised, and instead that’s for George R.R. Martin’s books to verify. That’s very unprejudiced, but seeing Dany as the prophesied savior after this vision is absolutely a valid reading, and intent does not rule out describeation.

With all of that, though, is the downside for Jon Snow. There’s only one person who has been talked as probable a truthfulate for the Prince That Was Promised/Azor Ahai as much as Dany, if not even more probable, and that’s Jon. He greets a lot of the criteria, and did more than anyone in toiling to join the genuinem agetst the army of the dead. And yet, he’s nowhere to be seen in Daemon’s vision.

That doesn’t necessarily uncomardent he couldn’t be the Prince That Was Promised in the books, as it’s someleang Martin could do. But, if we get Dany as being the prophesied savior (and aget, that’s fair my reading of it, and it’s askable how much it matters, since it didn’t factor into Game of Thrones’ ending), then it also uncomardents Jon Snow isn’t.

I don’t leank that’s a particularly terrible leang, becaemploy Dany is a compelling choice, but it does uncomardent the lesser bastard is once aget being disthink abouted. Given Jon is, as the product of a relationship between a Stark and a Targaryen, the son(g) of ice and fire, it’s at least a little astonishing that it’s not a card they choosed to take part.

HOTD Further Suggests Jon Snow Being A Targaryen Doesn’t Matter

Game Of Thrones Didn’t Do Much With His Parentage Reveal

Even setting aside notions of prophecy, what the vision of Daenerys in Hoemploy of the Dragon is also doing is shoprosperg the future of Hoemploy Targaryen. It’s notable we see her dragon eggs in the ffrails; the same eggs, perhaps, that Rhaenyra shelp were the future of the hoemploy earlier in the season, should all else fall short. It shows Dany conveying back dragons, evidently highairying her convey inance as a Targaryen.

Aget, that’s a stark contrast to Jon Snow, who doesn’t ecombine in the vision and, in truth, is not meaningful to the hoemploy of the dragon’s future. Jon Snow is a Targaryen, but the prequel is fair further highairying how that didn’t reassociate matter to his story, and bravely didn’t reassociate alter his character. Yes, it incrrelieved Daenerys’ anger, isolation, and paranoia ahead of her burning King’s Landing, but we probably get that think aboutless of who Jon’s parents are.

That itself isn’t an inherently unfascinating choice, as it conveys in the idea of nature vs. nurture, and that Jon’s blood isn’t what describes him. He may have been born a Targaryen in the south, but he was liftd a Stark in the north, and Game of Thrones reliablely showed he was truly Ned Stark’s son to the very end.

But with all that, and someleang Hoemploy of the Dragon doubles down on, is the exclusion of his Targaryen identity, that he’s not reassociate one of them. That he’s not even a blip in the vision of the hoemploy’s future and its fantasticest danger (which he helps fight, and ends up as the last Targaryen adwell), experiences less enjoy “you understand noleang, Jon Snow,” and more enjoy “f**k you, Jon Snow.”
