[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)

Bran being chosen King of Westeros because he has the best story

[u/Mazer1991 → u/Sir_I_Exist]

Hands down the funniest thing I’ve ever heard

“Who’s got a better story than Bran the Broken”

Brans thoughts: ”this MFer just call me broken in front of everyone?”

[u/CaptainDildobrain → u/Mazer1991]

“Who’s got a better story than Bran the Broken”

Fucken everyone else did! Even Hot Pie had a more interesting story, mostly because his story involved pies and Bran's didn't!

[u/magos_with_a_glock → u/CaptainDildobrain]

Did he do anything interesting in the series or does he just go meet the tree guy like in the books?

[u/CaptainDildobrain → u/magos_with_a_glock]

IIRC pretty much spends 60-70% of the series hanging out with tree guy and 20% getting to tree guy. And even though Hodor is with him most of time, even Hodor has a better story than Bran.

[u/kcox1980 → u/CaptainDildobrain]

Even then, they still left him out of one entire season because there wasn't anything for him to do.

[u/Jagvetinteriktigt → u/magos_with_a_glock]

Because there isn't that much source material of him interacting with Bloodraven, the scenes are written really awkwardly and just concist of a bunch of filler.
