All hail Bran the Broken! Really? The quiet kid who has a strange new power no one understands makes the most sense as a ruler? How is Sansa sitting right there and no one throws her name into the ring? Her getting the North feels like a consolation prize; we know Jon doesn't want the power of ruling the Seven Kingdoms, but we never get to hear Sansa's thoughts on it. I think she would have been the perfect choice to sit on the throne, but it doesn't even seem like an option. (Fantasy GOT League time: Sansa is Queen, Arya is the Hand, Brienne is the Lord Commander of the Queensguard, and Yara is Master of War.)
Sansa's denial of the throne isn't the worst thing that happens to her, though; that would be her season five rape at the hands of Ramsay Bolton. That act — which is not in the books — inspired scores of watchers to boycott the show, and it was made even worse when the writers reference in season eight — only to have Sansa explain away her strength, courage, and intelligence by giving credit to Littlefinger and Ramsay.
