Even if I was still was a fan of Game of Thrones, I'd be rolling my eyes at this. Jon Snow was one of the most boring and uncharismatic characters in the show, and from what I've heard from season 8 (which I didn't watch), he was at his worst there. Is he seriously popular enough to warrant a sequel surrounding him? If so, then I don't get it. Furthermore, even taking into account the show's disastrous ending, what is even the point in continuing the story of Jon of all people? Its over, it ended, he completed his arc and went to go galivant with the Wildlings in the far North, away from all of Westeros' bullshit. What the hell else is there to say for him?

Hell, there seems to be an overall lack of focus on what to do with this franchise. HBO really wants to make more shows for it, but rather than just make a solid sequel/prequel set in the same universe, they just keep throwing more ideas at the wall. It all reeks of desperation. Considering how tainted the IP has become, but how apparently in-demand serious fantasy appears to be, it would be better of HBO just ditch Game of Thrones and instead made an all new fantasy IP story instead. But I suppose that would require creativity, and we all know how in short supply that is in Hollywood.
