Because the Iron Throne was destroyed and Bran brought a chair with him.

Love how In Deep Geek goes back and fixes the episodes with far better explanation that the episodes themselves could come up with. Its well done, even if the episodes, writers and directors themselves cant seem to convey them anywhere near as good.

[Argonova]

Bran was never even a player. He just had the cheat codes.

[jamiedandy]

I like how your analysis doesn’t include personal biases and complaints about the show. Really enjoy your episode analysis!

[geraldd]

He became king because he came all that way.

[dfig]

I've always been suspicious of the three eyed Raven, I mean remember the first time we saw him look at that cave fill with what looked like human bones, in the books the description does not scream pure and good to me. He used both Stark boys remember Rickon had the same dream/vision, the three eyed Raven was throwing out his bait and Bran fell for it.

[coledevlin]

“The person best suited to be king, is someone who didn’t want it all along” I’m pretty sure Robert Baratheon didn’t want to be king all that much and we all know how that turned out.

[joribremer]

Nah Bronn won the game of thrones, was just a simple sellsword, and now has the biggest castle, and the best lands to live on (and without losing anything, every other “player lost something whats important to them

[michaelc]

Bran became king because "chaos is a ladder" and he was one of the best climbers in Westeros. Only now, he can fly.

[colton]

You make it sound way more interesting than it really was lol

[Thxsober]

Bran was destined to become king because Bran was the first main character to appear on center camera in episode 1. Jon and Rob were off to the sides.

[jeonkayla]

Cersei did say to Ned Stark “When you play the Game Of Thrones you win or you die. There is no middle ground, ” and she was absolutely right. Everyone who played and didn’t end up with the throne, died. Cersei, Joffrey, Tommen, Stannis, Renly, Dany, even Rob as he fought to be King In the North. Jon wasn’t playing. He was never playing, as he didn’t want it and would never have accepted it. Bran was, we just didn’t know it 🤷🏾‍♀️ and he won.

[andrewsmall]

Yes! Bran is a combo of all the three eyed ravens before him. Bran didn't become king the three eyed raven did.Perfect description!

[sooziemc]

I’ve been thinking about Bran and what he represents. In the beginning the Children if the forest ‘ruled’ Westeros. In the end through the weir woods and the three eyed raven (Bran) the Children rule again.

[tk]

One has to wonder if Bran would begin replanting Weirwood groves around Westeros.

[Xearrik]

Tyrion is king. Bran is the master of whispers for Tyrion.

[carolewebber]

I can't imagine the leaders of the 6 Kingdoms going along with Bran's non interventional style of leadership for very long.

[dustinb]

Hmm, so the throne of Westeros went to, quite possibly, the most evil entity still alive on the show.

[JC]

Bran having one of the most powerful abilities in the show and his contribution to anything after season 6:
-The Night King has your Dragon
-Jon is the son of Rhegar and Lyanna
-awkward staring
-Sat quietly in his chair during Battle of Winterfell and war against Cersei offering no recon or strategic intelligence

Let’s make this man king!

[heather]

Blood Raven always wanted to be king, didn't he? So in a way, he became what he wanted, he just used Bran's body to do so. Excellent video as always, Robert.
