BlameAnesthesia 05/20/19 9:20:14 PM #7:	I still think Jon should have been the one to sit on the iron throne. It's not like being King was something he didn't want but still rose to the responsibility in the past (King in the North). He has all the right qualities. Noble birth, but humble beginnings (believing he was a bastard). He has military experience (Night's Watch, Battle of the Bastards). He has compassion (united the wildlings with the north). He has strong conviction toward doing the right thing, but has slightly more moral flexibility than Ned. And he was the answer toward the infamous "Targaryen madness" (gods flip a coin, blah blah blah) because he has Stark (ice) in him to temper the Targaryen (fire). It's poetic. It's what I thought the entire series was building towards. I largely consider him to be the overall protagonist (A Song of Ice and Fire) given his role in taking down the Night King and in this case averting the country from another Targaryen tyrant. Literally the only people in Westeros who would be against his rule would be the iron islands (not relevant to current power structure in Westeros given their lack of a strong navy anymore) and the Unsullied, who ended up leaving for Naath anyway, and are an extension of Daenery's wrathfulness at King's Landing. Instead, we got an ending where the Starks effectively control all of the continent, but it's splintered into three major powers (?). Also, I have major issues with Bran taking the crown. He acted like he was no longer Bran for the entirely of his Three Eyed Raven arc. He frequently acted like he was "above" the politics of Westeros and refused his birthright at Winterfell. If he theoretically sees the future, then he knew the slaughter of an entire major city was coming, but he justified it in order to....secure himself the throne? Fucker slow played everyone in Westeros or otherwise has a dangerously close "greater good" mentality that Daenerys had. It was the only way to "cleanly" wrap up all the loose ends with how rushed the last few seasons have been. Had the story actually been told with respect to finishing all of it's arcs I think Jaime, Ser Barristan, Jon, etc all could have gotten a much better ending. It just feels rushed. --- Anesthesiology resident PGY 1 - prelim surgery <cite>BlameAnesthesia posted [p:922159850] in People who...
