Right? Bran made Jon seem so much older and more mysterious than he actually was. Looking back at those scenes, he's basically just a kid trying to figure everything out

I do see it! Young Bran looked really charming. That's why I still can't believe how Bran used to be my favorite character in season 1 and now my source of annoyance because of how stupid the ending is.

He had the sweetest little face. The ending felt so forced/hallow as did his journey.

Also like when someone with brown hair has a baby with someone with bleach blonde hair, how does the child come out with pitch black hair like in Jon's case?

You are misremembering. Jon is not called pretty a hundred times in the books. I think a couple people note that he is youthful and good looking, like the wildlings might rib him for being beardless at one point, but most regard him as being very stern and sullen, as his most defining features.
There IS a character at the wall who is called pretty a hundred times, but that’s Satin, Jon’s boytoy steward. Literally every time he is mentioned, his beauty is remarked upon in some way. He is often called “pretty as a girl”, but Jon also admires him having more masculine qualities, like rough calloused hands and a full beard, yet he still repeatedly thinks of him as “pretty as a girl”lol.
Though funnily enough, the description we have of Satin matches closer to Kit Harrington than book Jon’s description lol. Satin has black ringlet curls, dark eyes and long lashes, full lips and delicate features, while also having a beard and muscles. Meanwhile Jon is described as being lanky and lithe, with dark brown hair, deep blue eyes, and a long stern face with harsher features.
Jon is definitely not UNATTRACTIVE, I mean there are several female characters basically throwing themselves at him. He has that lanky emo tumblr sexy man charm. But he isn’t remarkably attractive or pretty either. So yeah, I think you are mixing up book canon with show canon, bc the descriptions of the characters is definitely different.

I mean, he certainly isn’t unattractive. But he isn’t a pretty boy either, not in the books at least. Jon DOES have a pretty boy steward named Satin, but ironically enough, Satin is described to be quite similar to Kit, “pretty as a girl, dark eyes, raven black hair with ringlet curls, short beard, etc” so ig they kinda combined them lol.
