Game of Thrones Ending Explained: Who Ended Up on the Iron Throne? – Dragons on the Wall
The choice actually makes sense. Throughout the show, we've seen kings and queens make cruel or critical mistakes due to their emotions- whether that be love or hatred. It's better to have a king that is omnipotent and disconnected from their emotions. That will make for a ruler that wont act within self interest.
Never watched a single episode, so I decided to jump on here and spoil the entire thing so that I don't ever feel compelled to.
I had been telling everyone who tried to get me to watch that it's just gonna end with nobody gets the throne, it's just the driving plot device. Wholeheartedly content with never having picked up an episode now 🙂
Why is this a video? better yet why is 9 mins long? Bran is on the throne, done. He isnt on the iron throne as it doesnt exist anymore. Honestly IGN your content is just exhausting
Bran the Boring.
Throne
THE only reason game of thrones brought in an audience is because of george r.r. martin.
Who ended up in the throne?
NO ONE
This episode was satisfactory, the season is still crap though…….0 character growth, rushed story lines and 0 lore relevance.
Blah blah blah I started this video by accident now I feel like dying
Finally it's over, now George R R Martin can finally finish the books and give us the ending they deserve.
Worst season finale ever
Just terrible. No more to say really.
Ign is full of twats
Elective monarchy is not breaking the wheel or “almost democracy”. It still has problems.
The electors are noblemen who grow powerful and eventually will make the monarch their puppet and will be biased to a certain family.
Plus people forget that the Ironborn already did have an elective monarchy way before the seven kingdoms existed.
The Ironborn would have kingsmoots to elect rock kings and salt kings and they would have a high king to rule over them all. The prophets and priests call for kingsmoot and the ship captains, salt kings and rock kings get to vote for the high king.
This didn’t last forever though. The King to end the kingsmoots was Urron Redhand who killed men gathered at the kingsmoot and 13 lesser kings died and half a hundred priests and prophets died too. Then the monarchy became a hereditary one.
The kingsmoot returns to the Iron Islands after Balon Greyjoy dies. The books have a better reason for returning the old tradition and it was Aeron “Damphair” Greyjoy who called for a kingsmoot in attempt to stop Euron from claiming the throne.
The show version just randomly brings back the kingsmoot without explanation.
Plus elective monarchies have been done before. Check out the Holy Roman Empire.
Global warming hit the ice barrier thing.
There is no iron thorne, just only a wheel chair ?
Lol way to f*** up an entire series, D&D.
Hodor wouldve been the perfect King…
A criple who couldve stopped it all from the beggining.
