I know reading spoilers isn’t the same as seeing it for myself but, this Arya and Jon reunion....

They're SUPPOSED to have a strong bond but that wasn't even emphasized on the show. There's only that Needle scene in S1 and Arya's reaction to hearing about Jon + Sansa's comment in S7. They've never really consistently built up their importance to each other. That was a lot of time in between that they could have chosen to do that but they didn't.

The showrunners made it clear that their relationship wasn't a plot point worth prioritizing. Idk why people built up all these expectations from what they were watching lol. I didn't get the hype tbh.

In the books, part of why Jon breaks his vows is because he was furious when he thought Ramsay married Arya. We don't even get that main thing, much less all the other moments where they think/mention each other.

So even if the reunion is lackluster, it's consistent with what they've shown so far.
