Game Of Thrones: What If Joffrey Was The Hero? 7 Ways It Would Have Changed

1. Jon Snow Could Have Been Completely Irrelevant

Could you imagine an alternate universe where nobody would bat an eye at the death of a certain bastard in Westeros? Well, if Joffrey were the hero, that outrage might have happened when the blonde king was poisoned, not when some random dude in the Westeros army died... but then, that's not how it happened, is it? Jon might not really have been relevant to the story at all if Joffrey was the hero of the tale. As you can see from the edited video, Jon doesn't even appear at all. How would he have influenced the story? Perhaps if the R + L = J theory has some truth to it, then perhaps Jon could have been the one to save the kingdom after Joffrey's untimely death at the purple wedding. In that case, things would have moved a lot quicker and there certainly wouldn't have been the cliffhanger of the century... so perhaps it's a good thing that Joffrey was such a noob after all. See? It all comes together.
