Also that is just it, Jon was one of the most complex people in the story, or at least just as complex as anybody. In the end he was just a tortured soul...Killing him off would have been a mercy, but I think him walking away from it all suits his arc better. He had done enough and lost enough.I am not ashamed at all to say that I like characters that are complex.
In case you missed it, GoT was a tragedy. Not a comedy, not a fairy tale, but very much a drama centered around tragic event after tragic event. JMO, but having Jon become a martyr would have fit storywise. It also would have shown how much he was like Ned, the man who raised him as his own. It would have been a contrast to who he was born. In the end, Jon was more Stark than Targaryen, IMO.Clean? Happy? Was there not enough tragedy for you? Deer lord..
It would not have been a "Happy fairy tale" it would have suited him better. I totally 100% disagree with you that beheading him would have served any purpose and would have made all the R+L=J crap mean even less. He doesn't need to be a dead martyr, he already is a living one. He already got murdered once for saving people, no need to do it again.In case you missed it, GoT was a tragedy.

I never ignore anyone. I wear big boy pants.I will say the same to you, and add how about you ignore me? That way I won't bother you any more, and I won't really start to dislike you, I have always thought you were a good dude, so I'd like to leave it at that.
That's ok, me and Butchie go round and round all the time, and I love him to death. I haven't said anything any meaner to you than I do my own brother who also shares your cockamamey ideas..You think mine are so there..I'm nowhere near as big a jerk as you like to believe. I just vehemently disagree.And I 100% disagree with you, so we're at an impasse.
With proper storytelling, you would come to love it. Would have been far better than we got.
My docs told me I had the arthritis of decrepit 80 year old when I was still in my twenties..But actually Weezy has had it even rougher than me. I remember.lol @you two from those of us who are 64 and above
