10 Things About Game Of Thrones That Make No Sense

1. Bran Takes The Crown

Imagine creating a character so powerful that he could literally see into the past, present, and future all at the same time. Imagine crippling him in the first episode and sending him north of the Wall in order to gain these powers, losing friends along the way, and then doing basically nothing with it.

During the Battle of Winterfell, Bran was identified as the Night King's target, and so was put under the protection of Theon and a handful of men. While many thought Bran would do something incredible, like warg into a dragon or even the Night King himself, his contribution to the fight was reduced to scouting as a flock of ravens.

That wasn't even the worst of Bran the Broken's story. The whole reason he traveled to find the Three Eyed Raven in the first place was because he couldn't be a knight, and as he said himself later, he couldn't be Lord of anything.

But he can be a King, though? The ridiculous double standard makes absolutely no sense, made even worse by Tyrion's reasoning for crowning him - because he can tell a good story. Never mind having any leadership skills, or experience governing subjects, as long as he knows his history he can sit the Throne. Surely this would have suited him better to the position of Archmaester at the Citadel, where they record all these stories?
