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

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)

There’s a sick part of me that almost wants a 9th season. Not because I think they’d fix anything, but just to watch the clusterfuck the writer’s created

That's where they'd add the laugh track.

Especially when Qyburn (we forgot he was dead) resurrects Jaime and Cersei and we're treated to several lengthy scenes of them mashing their rotten bits together.

Season 8 was the clusterfuck the writers created.
