Jon Snow’s Big Floppy Sword Is Breaking The Internet

No, that’s not a euphemism. And no, that’s definitely not Valyrian steel

Okay, we know you’re all still reeling from last night’s EPIC Game Of Thrones finale, but while we have your attention can we please alert you to a massive fail from Episode 9, The Battle Of The Bastards.

A lot happened in that episode, not the least Sansa and Jon Snow wresting back control of Winterfell from the clutches of the evil Ramsay Bolton.

But in the middle of all of this battlin’, one eagle-eyed Imgur user spotted a little problem with Jon Snow’s supposedly rock solid sword Longclaw (the feller of White Walkers, the bester of bastards).

Ahem. Not so rock solid, eh Jon? What’s going on? We thought that thing was supposed to be Valyrian steel, mate?

The whole thing is just hilarious, and the internet is cracking up over the idea of Jon riding into battle with a big, floppy sword. We just pity the poor props guy who forgot to swap out the rubber stunt sword for the real deal.

The North – and the internet – remembers.
