Especially since HBO has done a good job of not really illuminating the audience on how Season 8 will pan out.
Regardless, there are still several weeks until Game of Thrones Season 8 is released, which means it will still be some time before Kit Harington will really be able to shed the mantle of Jon Snow.
Fans are very invested in whether Snow lives or dies this season — along with a slew of other characters, so he is definitely not alone there — and I don’t expect the fervor to slow down until the last episode has aired and the audience has the chance to take a step back from the series.
