Drogon should have roasted Jon

Yeah, well, I don't really get the point of the finale, and I'm wondering if all my suspicions about GRRM being unable to finish because his ideas for the finale sucked are correct. Really, what WAS the point? Was the Stark family supposed to eliminate threats to humanity from both Fire and Ice? If so, Terry Pratchett did it first, and better.

As for Sansa, yeah, I knew she'd claim her birthright one way or another, when she no longer needed Jon to fight wars against The Dead or Cersei. She did. I won't say it's wrong, because in the culture she came from it's considered right, ethical, and honorable to do whatever needs to be done to claim your birthright, and the rule of the North is absolutely her birthright. She's also a better ruler than Jon, I mean he's a complete idiot when it comes to politics, so I can't object to her actions. But nobody could call her actions nice or likeable.

Exactly. It infuriated me that Jon is the rightful heir, and most of those present at the council called after the war were his own bloody family Starks and Tullys, plus his best friend Samwell Tarly and NONE of them made the SLIGHTEST effort to assert his rightful claim to the throne. When Grey Worm said Jon killed the queen, the response should have been "your queen revealed herself to be a mass-murdering tyrant, and an unspeakable monster, and it was the DUTY of the RIGHTFUL heir -- the man whom you know as Jon Snow, but whose real name is Aegon Targaryen -- to rescue his people by putting down this mad pretender."

And you know, Jon could still have gone north. They could still have made the ending come out the same, but do it by having Jon abdicate voluntarily. Have him declare that after having to destroy his own kin, and the woman he loved to boot; perhaps also have him declare he doesn't think himself fit or trust his judgment after having trusted her in the first place and events proved that trust so misplaced; perhaps even have him add that too many Targaryens have gone mad over the centuries, and perhaps its time for their dynasty to end. But have it be HIS choice.

Instead, the writers chose to make his ancestry, his rightful claim, his qualities as a leader who inspires loyalty all count for exactly nothing, and completely deprive him of his agency, thus making the character who should have been the hero of the story into a pathetic and largely useless pawn.
