Yes, I know we'd all rather have Hodor and Pod and Moon Boy for all I know. Ain't the point of the thread.

Daenerys and Jon have been set up as the main two heroes of the story. Both have overcome adversity in their backgrounds to rise up to a position of leadership, and it seems likely one of them will be sitting on that throne at the end - though you never know with George RR Martin.

It has to be Jon Snow for me. I don't think Daenerys has good leadership skills or motivation to rule. She marches from city to city, announcing a list of increasingly silly titles as to why everyone should bow down to her. It all seems to stem from "I am a Targaryen and I have dragons therefore I am better than you".

Jon meanwhile has leadership thrust upon him and people love him because he is a decent man who commands respect. He does what he has to do and doesn't take pleasure in reckless violence, fully subscribing to Ned's "the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword" mantra.

Curious to hear your thoughts!
