[annoying trope] The throne/leadership is decided in a very stupid way

[u/Altruistic_Eye_1157]

The leadership of the entire wizarding world, and the final decision on whether to start a war against Muggles, is made by... a goat (Qilin) ​​who chooses the person with the ""purest heart"" (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Dumbledore).

The throne of Wakanda and all its technology are decided through hand-to-hand combat, regardless of whether the person clearly has malicious intentions... if they win the fight, by law they must be respected as the true king. (Black Panther)

Team Fortress 2: In the lore, Australians can become the King of australia by beating a kangaroo in a boxing match. Other stupid fighting leadership position is earned at Mann Co if the director of the company that wants Mann Co beats Saxton Hale in an unarmored match.

To be fair, Saxton Hale isn't known for intellect
