Jon Snow runs a GOT Gauntlet

Started by Inhuman7 pages

Besides wildlings and white walkers, Jon has fought countless of soldiers in armor in the battle of the bastards. Also the besting Ramsey feat was pretty good. With arrow blocking reactions and all.

Giant melee battles aren't really the same as 1v1 fights. People were getting knocked over by horses mid swing, cut down by arrows and all sorts of other mayhem. And he used a fairly large shield to block those arrows. Also he wouldn't need to be that fast to block the arrows if he held the shield up before Ramsey released the bolt. Dunno if that's how it happened tho

We see Ramsay shooting, then we switch to Jon and only then he held the shield up. Seems pretty clear to me.

Just rewatched it and yeah he either lifts just as Ramsay is shooting or immediately after. Very fast indeed. But that one showing doesn't erase all the others. He repeatedly is tagged by things far slower than arrows. Unless we assume that GoT characters swing swords faster than arrows fly

None of these others have ever fought anything as dangerous as a white walker. What opponents have the others fought that are better "quality" than the opponents Jon has fought?

Brienne beat the Hound, one of the best fighters in GOT.

On another note, what would you guys say Jon’s best fears are? I can think of a few off the top of my head: killing Styr, the two white walkers he’s killed, and Karl Tanner (though he kinda got lucky)

Killing Styr isn't a good feat - Styr basically stomped him, until Jon found a hammer. And Karl could've killed him as well, though the enviroment may gave Tanner the edge.
Anyway, it's the second WW fight, him bring able to take on multiple wildlings on once/over a short time, and I think I'm missing something.

The Attack on the Wall, Hardhome, the Battle of the Bastards, and the frozen lake fight show that Snow is a gorram marathon man. His endurance is crazy

You mean when Brienne beat a sick and weakly Hound?

Then all the more I'm confused why you think Bronne is better than Jon? The only clean one on one fight Bronn won was over the vale knight who was encumbered by armor and who had zero feats for us to know how good he was. Bronn couldn't beat a sand snake (sand snakes who couldn't take down a 1 armed Jamie) and was only able to beat the Dothraki through circumstance. Other than that, Bronn has been fighting in giant melee battles and didn't perform quite as impressively as Jon Snow.

Bronn > Dragon therefore is > Jon

Bronn took on two Sandsnakes, and they fought for a minute at best. Also, two sand snakes were able to give Euron trouble, who was slaughtering Yara's men, and beat Yara herself (who cut through Ironborn with ease) in less than half a minute. So yeah, it's not a bad feat.

Weapons allowed?

Jon took on the fookin' Legend of Gin Alley.

He clear with ease.

Jon loses to Brienne.

Sandor had a festering wound that left him sickened and weakened when he fought Brienne. That is what he is "talking about".

I don’t remember that. What was the wound from?

Are you talking about the one on his neck? I don’t think there’s any evidence in the show that it affected his fight with Brienne, so saying it left him sick and weakly is a little ridiciulous

Arya claims it causes him to be much slower in the previous episode and that is should be cauterized.
