shawnpmcd Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I didn't find it to be too bittersweet, and I was a fan of it. Now what WOULD have been bittersweet was if Dany's last words to Jon were "I'm pregnant". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Spanish_Inquisition Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Jon leaving to return to the true north, where he was always happiest, but only because he’s been exiled for a crime that will always be misunderstood and will stain him as a traitor and murderer for all time is pretty bittersweet.

Do you actually think people will see him as a traitor though? His best friend Sam is the one writing the narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people realize Dany is mad. His legacy won’t be tarnished but he is forced to go Beyond the Wall or be a part of the NW which is bitter.

I'd guess he will go down a hero, because Dany turned out to be exactly the crazed Targ with her foreign hordes come to decimate Westeros that Cersei's propaganda said she was....

Everyone knows that Daenerys destroyed the city and Jon rescued them from her reign of horrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can’t have a king/queen murderer running around with no punishment, considering how badly it went with the Lannister version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they knew where Jon would be happiest and who was actually waiting for him at Castle Black. I don't think its was expected by Bran that Jon would serve out his days as a man of the nights watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise he’d have stuck around castle black and not immediately left with tormund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been funny I guess. Jon to dumb to realize they want him to be free, rebuilds the Nights watch and waits for recruits that never come.

Winter prince Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 It's bittersweet for Jon. He even said what he did does not feel right. Sure he's free in the North with ghost but at what cost to him emotionally? He's now betrayed the two women that have loved him and held both of them in his arms while they died Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrion killed his father and got charged Guilty of killing Jofferey and he is walking around like nothing happen.. And that's worse than what Jon did. I need to let this go. It was just pure s#&t. Nothing makes sense and here I am looking for answers and doing my own conclusions to make this show make any sense. It's trash, pure trash.

EProduc Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 It was going to be bittersweet all along, George has been saying this for years. You know all this 'Jon went where he was the happiest' talk may have some truth in it, but he lost so much. I truly got the feeling he was a broken man, and I mean why wouldn't he be, he killed the woman he loved because he just had to. I'd say it's even worse than bittersweet. It's more of a sad ending. Every character lost a lot and even if there is new hope for a better Westeros and the war's over, empty spaces can not be filled that easily. Jon, Tyrion and Dany, basically the main characters, had the worst endings so I think it's fair to say the series ended on a bad note with some hope for better times in sight.

I'm sorry but how did Jon and Tyrion have bad endings. Jon got to do what he wanted to do and Tyrion did as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
