why everyone voted for Bran?
its just so unbelivable when most of them dun even know much about him.
shareIf they'd taken the fucking time to flesh things out they could have actually put in the only possible reason they'd want Bran on the throne: He's a temporary place-holder, one who is only there because can't father a new dynasty. The realm has been devastated by years of war and everything is a mess, the economy is in ruins from war and winter, there are no viable candidates for king, and half the great houses are defunct or have someone clueless in charge. Nobody wants to deal with the mess Cersei and Danerys left, and nobody dares start a new conflict because they're all on the verge of famine so none of these mighty lords were willing to ask the others for the office.
So, they put in a guy as king who can't father a new dynasty, who doesn't seem interested in governing, who doesn't have much of a life expectancy, and they think of a nice line of bullshit to feed the public to explain it. In reality, all the great Lords are going to run back home and get their shit together and wait for Bran to die, and when he does they're all going to push themselves or their puppets for the next king, or try for independence. In the meantime, they're going to let Tyrion straighten on the mess left by the War of Five Kings and Two Queens, they all know he's a competent administrator and doesn't want the throne. And all of the great lords at the council understand this (those with triple-digit IQs, anyway), even if none of them say it out loud.
And of course none of this has made it into the script, we're just supposed to buy the pretty story about the crippled boy being magically made king and isn't it sweet.
not quite ... they said that there would be no more handing down power, that every new king would be elected from the electoral college, so to speak, of the lords of Westeros.
shareThese things happened in our history but sooner or later there was always someone who thought that a dynasty would be a great thing. So, I'm pretty sure everyone thought: fine, let's be done with this war but the next time...
shareEvery time I read one of your emotionally posts here, it just proves you expect things to work out your way and when it doesn't it really bothers you. The world according to OTTER...Lol
Why don't you write a letter to RR MARTIN and tell him how to write his books and how to write the ending too?...lol
If you ever understood the real theme of this show GOT, then you would know why Bran was chosen as King, but I doubt you ever will but continue to rant your anger of BS about what you think or how things should be? I bet you have a tough time being you because life is UNFAIR..Lol
lol You consider that an "emotionally heated" post? lol
lol
That's one of my less heated posts. There are others.
As for working things out my way, well, if the writers can't be arsed to explain why they pulled King Bran out of their asses when he's got no right to the throne and nobody thinks him capable of ruling, well, it's up to the fans to find a way to explain it. Or not.
There's really no explaining some of season 8.
Again you refuse or incapable of understanding why Bran king became because you don't comprehend the GOT as a story or its theme. You were defending Danny last week and you were proved wrong when I told you you are not getting what her character's role in the story, but now you are harping about the ending is wrong and Bran should not be king? Maybe its you who should take your head out of your ass, Bran is KING because RR Martin wrote it that way, just like the way he wrote Danny's was not going to be queen. Get it? I doubt it.
shareOkay, YOU explain why Tyrion and all the lords of Westeros want Bran to be king.
From the characters' POV, not Martin's.
Because it makes absolutely no sense for them to do that, unless they want a placeholder.
I saw this on Youtube that this guy predicated Bran will be king over a month ago and I think it does actually make sense that Bran became King, but to people like YOU who had other expectations and can't comprehend what are the core deeper meanings and the core themes of these Books really were, then it is hard because you wanted to end the way YOU think it make sense and not really even taking into account there is a theme or message to this entire story that you have failed to even understand:

Why does it make sense for Bran to be king, unless the great lords want a harmless placeholder who'll be a figurehead while they repair the damages of war and figure out how to grab the throne forthemselves?
Really, why?
Bran has no dynastic claim to the throne, no political or governmental ability, and no influence.

"it's up to the fans to find a way to explain it. Or not."
Maybe you should start reading the books and get the answers from the writer that wrote it instead if waiting for fans to explain it or even bother to maybe consider that you are WRONG? Or that you are clueless about this show's themes? maybe to educate yourself by reading or watching some of RR Marting interviews instead of your constant rants here to devalue a show or creators of it that you could not even compete with.
FYI noob, the books haven't been finished.
