Game of Thrones Season 7 Discussion [SPOILERS WITHIN]

[Homeless Nutter]

Though I don't 'despise' it in the way Homeless Nutter portrays it...
I have to agree with one of his core values. Why should it matter that Jon is by 'birthright' the king of Westeros. [...]

Because apparently Jon Snowflake wasn't special enough yet. He's a master swordsman, he has a giant wolf for a pet, he has a ultra-rare Valyrian steel sword, he invented cunnilingus, he's one of the two people - that we know of - who killed a White Walker, he can come back from the dead, he can ride dragons, he's the Lord Commander of the Watch, the savior and de facto leader of Wildlings, the King in the North, the rightful heir to the throne of Westeros, he's Azor Ahai, the Prince That Was Promised, the Stallion Who Mounts The World, and who knows what else. He's Batman, Jesus and Bruce Lee rolled into one... Not to mention - he's incredibly handsome for someone with so much inbreeding in his family history. 

This is the problem with American fiction - writers don't know when to stop piling on the "awesome factor", which often leads to overpowered, unrelatable and boring characters. A problem this show often has with at least a few of its main characters...

And by the way - how does marriage annulment work in Westeros? Raegar had two children with Elia Martell, didn't he? So, basically - some coprophiliac maester in Dorne secretly "undid" their marriage - that had clearly been consumated - making their children illegitimate? I guess marriage - even a royal one - is a fairly casual institution in that universe, is it? I wonder if Elia's kids knew they were dying at the hands of the Mountain as bastards... 

Yeah, Jon Snow's daddy - a real stand-up guy, wasn't he... But the important thing is, that he married the "love of his life" - hopefully - before squirting Jon the Super-Messiah into her belly. And that's what counts... Let's all marvel at this beautiful, touching love-story.
