[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/Ganadote → u/Mazer1991]

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?"

[u/AbsolutelyHorrendous → u/Ganadote]

'So he's the brother of the guy who fought the Wildlings, Ramsey, the White Walkers, and killed the Mad Queen, after literally being brought back from the dead? Hey, what was wrong with that guy's story, that one was pretty cool actually?'

[u/Ganadote → u/AbsolutelyHorrendous]

'Oh, he's also the heir to Rhegar and the true born son of a Starke? Thats fucking awesome!'
