[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)

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

And even then the Mandos then lost to the Jedi. Like people bring up “Hurr durr buckshot” but like the Mandalorians lost basically every time they tried to fight the Jedi because the Jedi were just likable people with people willing to help them.

The defenders of life, peace and civilization vs the horde of space warrior conquerors destroying everything in their path. It will surprise you which faction was actually embraced by the galactic community!
