I think we forget this show was always about the relationships between people and power and tries to be very closely aligned with real life instances. I feel people lost sight of that.
What GRRM was trying to convey in season 6 was that the iron throne doesn't work. For the post season 4 characters most of their problems were all inherited from the beefs of other people (Tywin vs Targaryen and Stark, Littlefinger vs Stark, Boltons vs Stark etc etc) the Greyjoys wanted independence as did the Starks and slaves of Mereen. It's a tragic story but it ends in a logical way. The chair had to go and with it, the remnants of the past. The debate will rage on of what could or should have been just like any political outcome. Dany's angle shows you how tyrants are made, Tyrion's speech in jail gave you that. Jon's story shows you that the window of opportunity is only open for so long and being humble doesn't always work as well as being aware of your environment. Jon said he wanted nothing but expected what he deserved and as we saw it doesn't always work like that (think about jobs where you wanted promotions but were overlooked). Fact is there are decisions being made about some of y'all lives that y'all ain't even apart of.
In the end we all wanted Jon to be King but Jon didn't want it. He got exactly what he bargained for and through it all, he's lucky to have left with his life. Bringing this back to power, the question here is, well is it better to have had and lost than to never have had at all ? Bran would be the best king for the realm for all the reasons Tyrion listed. It's a bittersweet symphony but how often in politics do you get what you want ? We all wanted Al Gore and Kerry to beat Bush, we all wanted Sanders to be the nominee and we all expected to see Hillary Clinton defeat Trump. On and on the wheel turns.
Although the ending was sad for some of the characters and major build up I am satisfied with it.
GRRM wasn't trying to convey anything in season 6. He's had nothing to do with the writing since the end of season 4. You niggas just be saying anything out here lmaooooo. Tf.
