Keep people in character for one. That's how you get objectively decent (at worst) writing. They didn't, thus it sucked.

Examples:

If Jon kills Dany, give him an actual reason. Like her threatening Sansa and Winterfell. Or her trying to execute Arya (who tried to kill her).

And then if that happens, Drogon either kills him or Grey Worm does (Tyrion clearly dies as well). And due to their Khal dying, the Dothraki raid Westeros in vengeance. And the Unsullied back them up because they serve the same queen.

Things like that.

Or just...have Arya actually use her assassin abilities to kill Dany.

Also no Bran as king. Either Sansa as Queen, proving she 'played the game', Jon because he's the rightful heir and might be able to control the dragon, or keep Dany.

Alternative is to have Dany mimic her father, talking about burning all her enemies (or maybe doing so at Winterfell) and Jon does a Jamie and everything is full circle.

And the worst one would be for Jon to rule by Dany's side, but it still works.

If Bran's going to be king, we need a montage of him manipulating events for the pieces to fall in place, so at least it's an evil mastermind ending.

Basically anything but the apathetic garbage we got that didn't make sense.

Your suggestions are even worse.

They did give Jon a reason. That was the point of the whole conversation with Tyrion. Even though she hadn't threatened Sansa and Arya yet, it was obvious that they would be in danger and Jon realized this.

Yeah, maybe they could have somebody kill him out of vengeance. Whether they did or not would have been fine IMO.

Arya killing Dany would have been really dumb. She already killed the Night King, so her killing Dany as well would have been a bit much. Not to mention she had almost no interaction with Dany throughout the entire show.

While Bran as king might be kind of underwhelming for a lot of people, it made the most sense given the circumstances. Too many people hated John, and Sansa preferred to rule the north. I liked it because it wasn't predictable yet still made sense.

Ultimately everyone just has different preferences of how they wanted it to end. People wanted it to end their way and that's why they were disappointed; they ended up going a route that no one really envisioned.
