HBO Boss On ‘Game Of Thrones’ Finale Backlash, Coffee Cup Gate, Prequels Status And Why Spinoffs Aren’t In The Cards

Oh let me try:

  • What People Expect - Jon to kill the Night King.

  • Stupid Subverting Expectations - Arya sneaks and kills the night king while Jon does nothing.

  • What a true subverting expectations would be - Jon is trapped by the dragon. Arya sneaks and tries to kill the Night King, but is stopped by the Night King. They have a duel. Cut back to Jon who stares down the Dragon that breathes fire on him. Cut back to the duel where the Night King has Arya and is about to kill her. We hear shattering, and its Jon, on fire, killing the White Walkers. Jon duels the Night King and beats him. He says "sorry for being late" and Bran says "You were exactly where you were supposed to be."
