Game of Thrones has always been about who ends up on the Iron Throne, and in the series finale — Season 8 episode 6, “The Iron Throne“, we got to see the Iron Throne melted down by Dragon fire.
However, we did get a new ruler for Westeros, one who was selected by all the important lords and ladies of Westeros — Bran Stark. This came out of nowhere for most fans of the show, who were expecting Jon Snow or Daenerys Targaryen to end up on the throne. The fans took to Twitter with a variety of reactions:

How to become king in GOT:
– Be a warrior like Jon Snow ❌
– Be a strategist like Tyrion Lannister ❌
– Be cruel like Cersei Lannister ❌
– Have 3 dragons like Daenerys Targaryen ❌
– Roll your eyes like Bran Stark ✅#GameOfThronesFinale #GameOfThrones

Tyrion: You should be King In the North
Bran: I can’t be lord of anything now. I’m no longer Bran Stark. I’m the 3 eyed raven now.Tyrion: Do you want to be King?
Bran: Yeh why you think I’m here dickhead. Even brought my own chair. LOL. #GameOfThonesFinale #BranTheBroken— Druid (@druid_1987) May 20, 2019
