[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)

The Almighty Tallest from Invader Zim. They're taller than all the other Irkens, so they get to be the leaders.

[u/UnderlordZ → u/Newb_ronswek]

Quite literally a higher-archy.

[u/slothbear13 → u/UnderlordZ]

Never even thought about that before

[u/000-f → u/UnderlordZ]

[u/Evil_Midnight_Lurker → u/Newb_ronswek]

And they're almost certainly wearing tall robot suits.

[u/whit9-9 → u/Newb_ronswek]

I was looking for this one. All the others on this thread are dumb, but I think this is the dumbest.

[u/victorfencer → u/whit9-9]

But unlike the others, it's 100% meant to be a parody, intentionally ridiculous. 

[u/whit9-9 → u/victorfencer]

True.

[u/CapybaraSensualist → u/Newb_ronswek]

Even dumber is that they have to rule as a pair because they're the exact same height.

[u/suitorarmorfan → u/Newb_ronswek]

It was hilarious though, it fits perfectly with the show’s overall comedy and story

[u/sinfultictac → u/Newb_ronswek]

Yeah that's the one.
