In all the warring between Daenerys, Jon, and Cersei, Bran was mostly overlooked as a contender, having become a living Wikipedia database and losing his personality in the process. The sudden decision by Tyrion and company to name Bran the new Lord of the Seven-sorry, Six-Kingdoms might have prompted a fair bit of whiplash for viewers. Honestly, someone should have thought to crown Bran earlier. Three, he can see across the sea of time and has the power to mentally experience every memory anyone in Westeros has ever had, which is definitely a helpful skill set going forward. Two, he’s got the temperament-ever since he assumed the mantle of the three-eyed raven, I haven’t seen him get remotely upset about anything, so no Mad King potential there.
