Game of Thrones hero Jon Snow (played by Kit Harrington) got a raw deal in the season eight finale when he was banished to the Night’s Watch.
He was sent North as punishment for taking the life of Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) following her descent into madness.
Although what he did was the right thing, ultimately, he didn’t have a strong enough status to be able to avoid being punished for killing the queen.
However, one Reddit user believes the show could have been so much different if Ned Stark’s (Sean Bean) fate was different.
cpl73092 wrote how the Tower of Joy scene was completely crucial for Jon’s life.
The important flashback scene showcased Jon was actually a legitimate Targaryen and Stark child.
While there, Ned tried to stop Targaryen soldiers from taking Lyanna Targaryen’s (Aisling Franciosi) newborn away from her and he successfully killed the army.
Ned then rescued Jon from a dying Lyanna and promised to raise him as his own bastard child in order to protect him from those who were against the Targaryens.
However, what would have happened if Ned was unsuccessful in his mission to save Jon?
The Reddit user thought: “Imagine how different Jon’s life could have turned out if Arthur Dayne ended up killing Ned at the Tower of Joy and successfully smuggled Jon out of Westeros?
