I give Grey Worm credit for commanding such an impressive army, we know Jon can handle himself, never forget his killcount. We'd have a few more episodes just covering this battle alone lol
Someone who fought great darkness 8000 years back.
'Price that was promised' was probably just a false prophecy used to keep their religion moving forward.

Makes sense, but that leads to another question (not sure if it's explained in the books, i'm still in the beginning of the second one)... seeing how the NK and his minions operated, and that the only way (that we know of) to stop them would be to kill the NK, and knowing that he was still "alive" until the battle of Winterfell, is there any word on how he won that battle 8000 years ago?
Fu k them for not showing this. The greatest swordsman of the North and possibly Westeros after the Cleganes VS an elite Essos based warrior. Jon was the most effective among the 7 guys beyond the wall including Jorah and the Hound.
Jon would start getting his ass kicked but then he would be saved by something unexpected at the last moment.
It's how he overcame almost every obstacle in the story
Haha but it's the truth: - Gets killed by his allies: unexpectedly gets revived
- About to get killed by zombies: unexpectedly gets saved by his uncle
- Is getting owned by Ramsay: unexpectedly gets saved by Sansa (and little finger)
- His stupid "lets get a zombie" plan is about to get everyone killed: gets saved by Dany
- Is about to be killed by a zombie dragon: unexpectedly gets saved by Arya killing the Nigh king
He has an amazing track record of wins for which he personally didn't do much
Well, that's the point of GoT, it's not Dragon Ball; the best fighter can still lose if he is outnumbered or if he faces an oponent that is good against his weaknesses or even if he just happens to have bad luck that day.
So i've watched a lot of spear vs. sword commentary on YouTube as a result of this thread...and the general consensus is that in scenarios where both fighters are of equal skill and experience, a spear beats a sword most of the time.
...but those same videos talk about how shields completely change the scenario up, not to mention armor.
Greyworm is wearing leather armor...which isn't really going to resist a ton. His spear length appears to be about ideal to deal with 1v1 combat (generally 7-8 feet long seems to be best for 1v1 combat).
Jon looks like he's traditionally using leather armor as well...so that's not super useful against spear...AND he's not rolling with a shield...
So based purely on sword vs. spear...I'd give it to spear.
But Jon still wins cause he's Aegon Flippin' Targaryean...not Cockless Anger Insect
Unfortunately, if we're going by show logic, then the presence of physical armor means jack shit since it only works or doesn't work at the whims of the writers
