It doesn't make sense though. The kingdom that just became independent gets 2 votes while everyone else gets 1. Then to the surprise of no one they choose one of their own to be the ruler of all the other kingdoms. Why did anyone agree to that? Especially the Iron Islands who fought in the war in order to become independent as well.
I swear when Sam suggested democracy and everyone laughed, I expected him to turn to the camera, shrug, and this to play. That whole thing was so weird.
I think thats so valid in the ending tho, but typical of the show its just a 3 second clip you forget instead of something you sit with.
Like after all this, the game of thrones, the coming together to overcome this looming existential threat, only for the immediate aftermath to devolve back into another game of thrones when theyre on the precipice of solving everything and advancing as a society. Thats a very ASOIAF ending set piece. I like it better the more unsatisfied all the kingdoms are with bran ruling, if its pitched as a "good end" then i agree thats stupid tho.
The way there might be different but iam sure the end goal is the same. Bran on the throne. He is the first POV in the book, GRRMs says its his favorite character. He will be king.
