House of the Dragon the second season included the teasing theme of “The Promised Prince” and in doing so canceled Game of ThronesThe Jon Snow spinoff seems better. House of the Dragon The ending of the second season had the biggest connection with Game of Throneswith Daenerys Targaryen, a White Walker and the Three-Eyed Raven appearing as part of a weirwood-inspired episode.
Damon Targaryen’s introduction to Daenerys and others was important not only to the prequel’s story, but to the entire franchise. Given her appearance in the episode preceded by the Red Comet, as well as her connection to the battle against the White Walkers, it seems likely that Daenerys was the prince that was promised all along. Game of Thrones (if not Song of Ice and Fire books, to be confirmed). Certainly, Thrones In the end, I didn’t think much of it in itself, but at least I’m glad that there won’t be a Jon Snow sequel.
Jon Snow doesn’t seem to have become the prince he was promised after the sequel was cancelled.
I’m glad his story won’t continue after the end of Game of Thrones.
Initially, I thought House of the Dragon should have added more to Jon Snow’s story and the idea that he was the Prince That Was Promised. Of course, the reveal of Aegon the Conqueror’s Song of Ice and Fire, which itself was related to the Prince That Was Promised, could be taken as a story about Jon, since he was the one who united the realm against the White Walkers.
This in turn would make John Targaryen’s parentage more important since Game of Thrones Season 8 didn’t dive too deep into what it really meant to him (and was more about what it meant to Daenerys). Somehow accounting for all of this—Jon engaging more with the fact that he actually is half-Targaryen and being more open about how he feels about it—could be one of the biggest advantages of a Jon Snow spinoff.
However, by suggesting that Jon is not the promised prince, House of the Dragon doubles down on the idea that being a Targaryen ultimately doesn’t matter.
However, assuming that John is not the promised prince, House of the Dragon doubles down on the idea that being a Targaryen ultimately doesn’t matter. And if it’s not something that will be discussed in its spin-off show, or at least the idea we’re told isn’t as important elsewhere in the canon – then I’ll be more glad it doesn’t happen, given the lack of obvious options plot for the show after Game of Thrones‘ ending.

John, who is not the promised prince, also does his part. Game of Thrones fate is better. I think there is something more powerful about the fact that he is not the prophesied savior, but simply a decent man who always tried to do the right thingand the added tragedy is that he had to kill Daenerys if she really was the hero in question.
I wish the show had done more with the prophecy.but I love the idea of a bittersweet prophecy and how chasing destiny led to Dany’s downfall. WITH House of the Dragon Also, I prefer John’s ending to remain as is, without the spin-off interfering.
“This is for the sake of the best Game of Thrones spin-off about Jon Snow” will not happen
Harington himself said that they could not find the right story
Ever since it was first announced, I’ve been on the fence about a Jon Snow spinoff. On the one hand, the idea of continuation Game of Thrones So, with Kit Harington returning, it’s a tantalizing prospect to bring back something that millions of people (myself included) loved and were obsessed with. And from a character standpoint, perhaps there is some potential in exploring his trauma and the gravity of having to kill Daenerys.

On the other hand, I think Jon Snow Game of Thrones The ending was close to perfect, bringing his story full circle and further enhancing the bittersweet feeling, giving him the relatively happy and peaceful ending he deserved, but tinged with tragedy. Since John Game of Thrones the spin-off won’t happen because Harington and the writers couldn’t find a story worth telling, then I guess it’s for the best, nothing happens, and House of the Dragon The second season only strengthens this belief.
