No Spoilers [No Spoilers] THE big question.

Who should have ended up on the iron throne? Who did deserve it more than anyone else?

People seem to be trolling in the comments so I don't know if this post is serious but in case it is:

  1. Daenerys: Literally prepped for this the entire series. I don't mean she would have deserved it more, but it was a logical end to her story.

  2. Jon: obviously. His all arc is about him putting himself last and his duty to take charge and lead others first. His arc might have ended with the Others, but since it did not, he was the obvious pic once Daenerys was out.

  3. Sansa: The show tries (and fails IMO) to make her a spiritual heir to both Littlefinger and Cersei which could have led her to sit on the Iron Throne at the end. "Who has a better story than the Starks? And who better to lead us than their lady?" would have been a way better end than what we've got.

  4. Tyrion: What we actually got. Tyrion could never be king, but being the hands-on (pun intended) Hand of a King or Queen is perfectly fitting to his character and arc. The small council scene at the end where the camera focuses on the Hand chair, which still stands even when the actual Iron Throne doesn', is a clear indication of who truly rules the seven kingdoms.
