"Game Of Thrones" Theory Unpacks Significance Of Jon Snow’s Staredown With Dragon


Jon Snow’s motives were broken down by a task force “Game Thrones'” most dedicated ors.

A Game Thrones’ fan theory is quickly picking up steam on , posted by a user operating under the handle “Applesoapp.” Before I go any further in retracing their theory, be advised this post does contain SPOILERIFIC CONTENT, if you aren’t up to speed with the latest GOT episode. I can’t stress this enough. I already spent a portion my day speculating on the ethics a beatdown issued by a Domino’s employee who had the ending Avengers: Endgame spoiled by his co-worker.

SPOILERS LIE AHEAD, tread carefully.

The theory in question concerns the meaning behind Jon Snow’s cursed staredown an undead dragon in Episode 3 this year’s final season (“Long Night”). Applesoapp contends that Jon Snow merely yelled at the dragon in a crucial situation, akin to a martyr/hero taking a bullet for someone important. While there’s no reason to buy into the theory outright, several clues bolstered the argument for “distraction.”

As Applesoapp outlined in the thread, Jon Snow can be heard screaming “go, go, go,” which the Applesoapp and those who champion the “distraction” theory believe is directed at Arya Stark. If proven correct, that means Snow was willing (in that moment) to sacrifice his life in order to keep hers in good standing. What do you make the theory, comment below?
