It's seems there is no Iron Throne, but 3 winners. How does that work out?

00:00 - 00:03 As Season 8 of Game of Thrones has wrapped up,

00:04 - 00:05 r/NobodyWinsTheThrone is the clear winner.

00:05 - 00:07 Thanks to Drogon the Iron Throne itself has been melted,

00:08 - 00:12 and thanks to Sansa the North is independent

00:12 - 00:15 meaning that the 7 Kingdoms is no more.

00:17 - 00:19 So we've undeniably won

00:19 - 00:21 and get the winner's badge.

00:24 - 00:26 Well, here's the thing.

00:27 - 00:28 Unfortunately...

00:31 - 00:33 They're giving r/BranWinsTheThrone a badge,

00:34 - 00:36 and they say we won only by technicality.

00:53 - 00:58 Lurkers, latecomers, and other subreddit subscribers leave.

01:13 - 01:15 WE WON COMPLETELY!

01:15 - 01:17 THE IRON THRONE IS MELTED!

01:18 - 01:23 Even if you don't take it literally we still won.

01:25 - 01:28 The Irone Throne is no more as it's now an elected monarchy.

01:29 - 01:31 Even if you don't accept that

01:31 - 01:34 Sansa made the North independent so there is no longer

01:34 - 01:37 7 Kingdoms meaning that nobody won the Iron Throne at all.

01:37 - 01:40 How is that not 100% clear?

01:40 - 01:42 It seems they think Bran is the winner

01:42 - 01:46 Bran is in a wheelchair, how can he sit on the Throne even if there was one?

01:46 - 01:48 Well he rules over 6 kingdoms

01:48 - 01:52 That wasn't even the competition.

01:53 - 01:54 It was who wins The Iron Throne.

01:56 - 01:57 So if there is no longer a throne,

01:57 - 02:00 nobody won it as there is nothing to win but melted metal

02:00 - 02:03 There is no longer a monarchy that rules over the 7 kingdoms.

02:04 - 02:08 Even if there was, Bran said he isn't Bran anymore, but the 3 Eyed Raven.

02:08 - 02:13 But let's say they meant that when they chose Bran, there still isn't hereditary monarchy in Westeros.

02:14 - 02:16 He's an impotent cripple so the council will decide

02:17 - 02:21 who rules after he dies, meaning there is no absolute power.

02:27 - 02:29 We chose nobody to win The Throne

02:30 - 02:34 because we we felt it deep inside that The Throne would no longer exist.

02:34 - 02:36 That the 7 Kingdoms would be no more.

02:41 - 02:42 Now you're telling me, that

02:43 - 02:47 we're only winners by technicality and the winner-in-spirit is Bran?

02:48 - 02:53 How much clearer does it need to be? It was literally who wins The Throne, nothing else.

02:54 - 02:56 We chose correctly, and they decide to

02:56 - 02:59 diminish our win by calling us "technical winners" and all but

03:00 - 03:02 saying that Bran rightfully won?

03:04 - 03:07 It's ok, we're still going to get a badge.

03:14 - 03:16 We have no other choice but to accept.

03:19 - 03:23 If we have to share the win with just one other subreddit, I can live with that.

03:25 - 03:26 Thankfully only two get a badge.

03:31 - 03:33 Listen, choosing nobody wasn't an easy choice.

03:40 - 03:46 We love all the characters but just knew it wouldn't have a happy ending.

03:46 - 03:49 It's Game of Thrones after all.
