5 WTF Moments from the new Game of Thrones trailer
By Corey Smith
1. Jon Snow is all out of bubblegum
A wise man once said, “I’m here to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I’m all out of bubblegum.” That man is not Jon, but this trailer certainly projected that attitude from Jon. Jon spends a significant amount of time in the trailer fighting the White Walkers and their minions the wights, and at no point does Jon not look like the big man on campus. (Even if Kit Harington is shorter than Sophie Turner.)
Jon looks to be in all sorts of trouble in the trailer but doesn’t appear fazed by it. The above shot comes shortly after Jon dispatches a wight in lighting quick fashion as if to say “bring it on!” We haven’t seen this sort of confidence bordering on arrogance from Jon before, and it’s quite frankly, rather exciting. If Jon can remain unfazed despite squaring off with a White Walker, staring down a wight horde, and apparently being surrounded, then we pity the Night King for once.

Speaking of the Night King, is Jon’s gesture and posture after dispatching the wight not a direct response to the Night King’s hand raising gesture and Hardhome? We think so, and we are rooting for the man that is all out of bubblegum.
