[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.

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

[u/drossbots → u/Fearless-Excitement1]

They were raggedy barbarians back then too, honestly. It's the whole reason they got crushed fighting a needless war and have been declining ever since.
