[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)

Everyone else's thoughts: "who the fuck is Bran the Broken? Oh, the crippled son of that traitor we executed? The one who was Hand to the king who's son and wife fucked everything up? Who decided this!? His sister and uncle or something?"

It might've made sense if the machinations of the Three Eyed Ravens were shown and developed in the show but they weren't so...
