Yes, there it is. I'm one of the MCU's biggest critics on this board, but even I can see they gave the characters in Endgame fitting endings. Jon didn't have to be king for me to have been satisfied with his character arc. But the ending they gave him was completely stupid when you consider that Bran banished him to the Night's Watch.

Newsflash, show writers, the Wall is no longer under Bran's jurisdiction as he literally just gave the North its independence. Why did they honor this banishment, especially after the Unsullied and Dothraki all left the continent on a ship just as Jon was about to leave King's Landing for Castle Black? His sister was made Queen of the North. She could have easily pardoned him as the Wall and the Night's Watch are technically hers now.

His ending made absolutely no narrative sense after you think about what had just transpired at that impromptu election.

His character arc was to unite the north and defeat the NK. Also he saved the seven kingdoms by killing Dany. He was never meant to become King.

It's highly possible Jon didn't want to come back with Bran being King and he always liked living with the Wildings

I thought the show made it fairly obvious he was leading the wildings he saved in hardhome back to the north. Like Tormund says he’s got the real north in him.
