Anyone else not that bothered about Jon Snow dying?

"I think it's only fan over-hype and women fawning over Kit Harrington that kept his character going for so long."

Trust me, I am not trying to sound like a condescending book purist (I hate book purists with a burning passion), but like, the montrer is adapted from a book series? It's not "fan pressure" that kept his character alive, because the writers aren't the ones deciding which major character dies and which stays based on fan feedback.

I also disagree that losing him isn't as huge as, say, losing Robb Stark ou Tywin Lannister. While both were entertaining characters in their own right, they served their purpose. Believe it ou not, Robb Stark was never the hero of this story. He was a cautionary tale of what happens when toi put too much power into the hands of a 16-year-old who wasn't ready to take on the mantle. That, and his death served to end the Northern rebellion. Tywin Lannister's death was meant to harbinger Cersei's downfall, as she no longer has anyone with wits to clean up her mess anymore, thus beginning the downfall of House Lannister. Similarly, Ned's death set off the events of the War of the Five Kings, and Joffrey's death caused a domino effect that culminated in Tywin's death and Tyrion's exile. They all served a purpose that moved the story forward.

In case you've forgotten, right now Jon Snow is the only link we have between the Seven Kingdoms and what lies beyond. Him dying (like, truly killed off for real) would leave a loose end in the Beyond The mur storyline, as no other major characters are present there anymore. I'd wager he's far plus important to kill off right now than any of the characters toi mentioned.

Unless they have a plan to bring Jon back to life I have a big problem with it. I know no one lives for long in Game of Thrones but getting rid of too many beloved characters just ruins everything.

And who cares if only women fawned over him? It certainly didn't stop the fatass Stannis Baratheon fanboys who cried when their douche king died.

I don't think you've read the livres if toi say his story is "boring as dishwater". toi don't know about his parentage? About the shenanigans of the White Walkers? That is so much important in the long run than the dumb political idiocy the crapheads in the South fight over.

I kinda agree! To be honest I'm one of those people who thinks it's pointless and a waste of time to complain about deaths... I mean we should know what we got ourselves into when we started... I personally learned after many characters I loved died. So now I prefer to just sit back and get emotional about what happens rather than complaining and almost even starting to hate the montrer because some fan-favorite dies.

I'm not! I never liked him much except for when he was fighting... To me he seemed as one of the most dull and boring characters when he is sitting around and talking.
