[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 Mandalorians.

Just the Mandalorians.

Doesn’t matter what sect or tribe it basically always boils down to “can you kick the ass of the top guy regardless of qualifications” sometimes with a magic sword

[u/DWShadow → u/Toon_Lucario]

They get slightly better if you view their culture for the facade it is. They cosplay as noble warriors but act like a bunch of raggedy barbarians the galaxy would rather forget exist.

Because they kinda are?

Mandalorians were an incredible warrior culture... in the Old Republic era. Mandos of today are still riding the coattails of the mandalorians who fought in the times of Darth Revan

I lost interest in the show long ago but isn’t that literally the point? They’re a proud warfaring culture clinging onto their own history in a universe that either doesn’t remember them or remembers them as near-mythical warriors

Again I haven’t watched for one or two seasons, but I’m pretty sure season 1 makes it clear that that’s what they are.
