A showdown between Jon Snow and The Night King is the kind of Chosen One bullshit I've seen before. Snore. But giving that moment to Arya, a character that's had way more development and growth, was waaaay more exciting and intense. Especially as at this point Jon Snow seems like a pillar of the show but potentially Arya could die in any scene. I thought it was pitch perfect, not just because it gave a triumphant moment to a female character.

And it showed that Jon Snow might have a role to play in this, but that role might not necessarily have anything to do with whooping ass.
