Game of Thrones' Iron Throne: This is who really deserved to rule Westeros
All loyal Game of Thrones viewers know that the best part of GoT (other than the prophecies, romance and violence, of course) is watching the tweets roll in.
After the final episode of the series, Twitter was alight with opinions, especially about who should sit on the Iron Throne.
Years of speculation led up to this moment. The obvious choices for the Iron Throne were, of course, Dany and her nephew/boyfriend Jon Snow. But Game of Thrones was one again full of surprises.
Unfortunately, there was ultimately no actual throne to sit on after Dany's dragon, Drogon, destroyed the throne in a fiery blaze - but Bran Stark was eventually chosen to sit upon the metaphorical throne.
I'll forgive the writers for so much because they finally gave me this moment. #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/FnJ6Q23WbX

Twitter was suitably upset with Bran's place as leader.
Okay so at least Ghost got a pat and we saw Sansa on a throne pic.twitter.com/1AAASpKMA5

While people were excited that the episode ended with Sansa Stark sitting on a throne as Queen of the North, others wished her throne had a little more significance.
all hail sansa, queen of winterfexit

Sansa was applauded for telling her uncle to sit down during their important King's Landing meeting, proving yet again how powerful she has become.
tyrion: i think we all know who should rule...

Bran never expressed any interest in ruling while Sansa was always interested in wearing a crown.
My theory:
Sansa ends up on the Iron Throne
Arya becomes the hand of the Queen
Daenerys kills Jon Snow
Arya kills Daenerys
Tyrion continues to sh💩t the bed
And I miss all of it because I'm traveling. #gameofthrones @SophieT pic.twitter.com/VxQxkzH6Ah— Jessica Chastain (@jes_chastain)
Even celebrities wanted Sansa on the Iron Throne.
I don't watch GOT, but I'm truly disappointed it didn't end with Sansa chugging wine like this on the iron throne. pic.twitter.com/ijxKyOhnGk

Cersei might have been evil but she was the best and Sansa did learn from her, especially when it comes to wine chugging.
Sean Bean confessed that Arya is one of his favourite characters and he would like to see Arya or Jon or Sansa on the Iron Throne#GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/doUP6AOEHr

Even Ned Stark thought she was the rightful heir to the Iron Throne.
Possible spin-offs for #GameOfThrones:
• Assassin's Creed: Arya in West-Westeros
• Dickless in Naath
• The Bachelorette: who wants to marry Sansa?
• Where on Earth is Drogon?
• The North-of-the-Wall Vet pic.twitter.com/nDD5d89v0U— Prof. Bananas (@gandama2uco)
Of course, there could always be a spin-off starring Sansa. Prepare for The Bachelorette: Winterfell accordingly.
