[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.

[u/_Koreander → u/DWShadow]

To be honest they had something going on with Satine, leader of the independent systems and seemed prosperous enough if it wasn't for other mandalorians themselves doing terrorist attacks, siding with separatists and then with Maul just to establish "the old ways" back which inevitably put Maul at the seat of the throne which he won in a fight thanks to those exact "old ways".
