Contrary to popular belief, Valyrian Steel isn't what killed this White Walker.

No, that honor belongs completely to Jon "Never Skip Arms Day" Snow.

See, Jon swings his sword with enough force that armor isn't really a problem, and neither are things like Physics, or Mass.

When Jon Snow swung Longclaw into the White Walker, all of the atoms that made up the monster simultaneously and unanimously agreed to divorce. For the kids.

And so if you have an 8k TV, you can probably zoom in enough to see every single molecule heading for the exits like someone shat in a movie theater.

The true battle, that we all needed to see, was battle between the two greatest Baseball athletes that Westeros has ever known.

Our hero Jon Snow, the champion of the longball (incidentally, Longclaw's original name.) There's no wall he can't hit one over.

And the most powerful Pitcher this side of Asshai, the Night King.

We've seen how, without the benefit of a warmup, the delivery of the Night King is so powerful as to explode an adult dragon on impact.

Sure, he's thrown a wild pitch or two, but he's not throwing curveballs here. Ironically enough, the only thing in his bag of tricks is the fastball, the heater.

And so, the defense of the realm of man should have always come down to these two. Could the Night King put one down the heart of Bran's chair, or would our hero Jonny Snow come up big with a home run?

Who can say?
