House of the Dragon Season 2 included a tease of The Prince That Was Promised, and in doing so made the cancellation of Game of ThronesJon Snow spinoff seems better. House of the Dragon Season 2’s ending has its biggest connection yet Game of ThronesFeaturing the appearance of Daenerys Targaryen, a White Walker, and the Three-Eyed Raven as part of a weirwood tree-influenced sequence.
Daemon Targaryen’s vision of Daenerys et al was important to the prequel’s own story, but also to the wider franchise. With her appearance in the sequence preceded by a red comet, as well as being linked to the battle against the White Walkers, it then suggested that Daenerys was the prince that was promised all along in Game of Thrones (If not the A Song of Ice and Fire books, which is tobacco). of course, Thrones He did not do a huge amount with this in the end, but it at least makes me happy that the Jon Snow sequel will not happen.
Jon Snow, apparently not being the prince that was promised is better after his sequel’s cancellation
I’m glad his story won’t continue after the end of Game of Thrones
initially, I’d thought House of the Dragon was set to add more to Jon Snow’s story And the idea that he was the prince that was promised. Certainly, the discovery of Aegon the Conqueror’s Song of Ice and Fire dream, which itself was connected to The Prince That Was Promised, could be taken as concerning Jon, since he was the one to unite the realm against the White Walkers. .
This, in turn, would have made Jon’s Targaryen parents more important, since Game of Thrones Season 8 didn’t dive too deeply into what it really meant to him (and was more about what it meant to Daenerys). Coming to terms with all of this in some way—Jon dealing more with actually being half-Targaryen, and talking more openly about how he feels about it—could have been one of the bigger advantages of Jon Snow’s spinoff.
However, by suggesting that Jon is not the Prince that was promised, House of the Dragon doubles down on the idea that he is a Targaryen ultimately doesn’t matter.

Jon is not the prince that was promised either Game of Thrones Fate is better. I think There is something a little more powerful about him not being the prophetic savior but just a decent man who always tried to do the right thing.And an added tragedy in him to kill Daenerys if she really was said hero.
I wish the show had done a lot more with the prophecyBut I like the idea of ​​the bittersweetness of the prophecy and how following fate led to Danny’s downfall. with House of the Dragon Adding to that, then I prefer Jon’s ending left as-is, not injured with a spinoff.
This is for the best Game of Thrones’ Jon Snow spinoff is not happening
Harington himself revealed they couldn’t find the right story
Since it was first announced, I’ve been in two minds about Jon Snow’s spinoff. On the one hand, the idea of ​​continuing Game of Thrones So directly, with Kit Harington returning, is a tantalizing prospect, bringing back something millions of people have loved and obsessed over (myself very much included). And in terms of character, there could be some potential in exploring his trauma and the weight of having to kill Daenerys.

On the flip side, I think Jon Snow’s Game of Thrones The ending was close to perfect, bringing his story full circle and still adding to the bittersweet feeling, giving him a relatively happy and peaceful ending that he deserved, but colored by tragedy. Since Jon Game of Thrones Spinoff isn’t happening because Harington and the writers couldn’t find a story worth telling, I think it’s because the best things don’t come forward, and House of the Dragon Season 2 only adds to that belief.
