(as the one true God of the Game of Thrones world). Jon Snow was done for. As the video says, he fell right into every trap Ramsay Bolton set for him. Nothing short of divine intervention kept him alive.

...either divine intervention or the calvary riding in at the last possible minute to save the day. I personally think sometimes it's a bit overused to have reinforcements coming in at the last possible second to save the hero's hinder.

So many casualties. Note they don't even have long bows, and obviously no gun powder. That's how old the technology of that world is.
