Jon Snow called everyone who demanded a reshoot of the poor Game of Thrones finale "idiots" Actor Kit Harington, who played Jon Snow, commented on a petition demanding a reshoot of the final season of Game of Thrones in an interview with the New York Times. The document, which gathered nearly two million signatures, sharply criticized screenwriters David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, calling them "pathetically incompetent."
Harrington admitted that he was shocked by the scale of the negative reaction to the series finale, and the petition itself caused him real indignation. "It genuinely pissed me off. It's idiocy from idiots. How dare you?" said the actor, linking this reaction to the atmosphere created by social media.
The main reason for his anger was the insults directed at the writers, who, according to Harrington, put a tremendous amount of effort into creating the final season. The actor noted that such criticism is disrespectful to everyone who worked on the project for many years.
