- the North proclaims Jon Snow king in the north despite him being a deserter of the night's watch, a bastard, a wildling enabler and the rightful heir to Winterfell (Sansa) being quite literally next to him - Cersei proclaims herself queen of westeros after blowing up half the city and no one minds - the Sand Snakes and Ellaria kill their rightful lord and his heir and then conspire with Olenna Redwyne (NOT Highgarden's hair, not even a Tyrell by blood) to unite Dorne and the Reach for house Targaryan
How is this justified within the show's narrative?
As per Jon, he died, so his watch ended. Also he's at least competent, unlike Sansa Lannister-Bolton. Really, the bigger question is why everyone just accepted his supernatural resurrection, and why Melisandre never even bothered trying to resurrect Rickon.
And nobody said Olenna was an heir, she just went there to do business with them.
This copypasta of yours is quite a blast from the past though.
Joseph Young
The show is feces and completely shits on the books. In the books, GRRM goes out of his way to imply that Jon Snow will become legitimized by Robb Stark. This important detail is completely omitted on the show because normalfags can't keep up with the details.
Daniel Ramirez
Didn't the show include Robb making his will and naming Jon his heir?
Wyatt Rodriguez
-Any other heir is dead or persumed dead, and Sansa could not inherit anything as it would fall either to Lannister (or Bolton lol) hands.
-They didn't let her because they "didn't mind". They were fucking terrified of her. It was a situation of "Give me the throne or I'll have you kille in the most brutal way possible."
-I'd rather die than justify Dorne in any way senpai.

>tfw varg could be in ramsay's part fuck we missed the opportuniy.

>As per Jon, he died, so his watch ended. No Lord knows this or would believe it.
Also the last time they declared a King of the North it went swimmingly for everyone
>Only person not showing up to the trial that gets bombed, all opposition literally BTFO. >appoints herself queen the next couple a days
surely no-one would ever piece it together.
Brody Martin
There were tons of eyewitnesses and nobody seems to question it, they just don't seem to care which is even stranger.
Brayden Sullivan
The smallfolk and remaining nobility must have gone "fuck this"
Thomas Reed
Of course they did. The whole war has brought them nothing but misery for half a decade/three years in the books. They never cared. And they don't wanna wake up one day and see green incendiary snot trickling into their hut.
Lucas White
Cersei had refused to cooperate with them before, so it isn't out of character for her. She's obviously immediately suspect, but nobody would really have any proof on her, and she would just blame the "accident" on Aerys leaving some wildfire behind that eventually blew. The only people who would know are either dead or gone.
The real question the show needed to address is why the fuck she ended up in charge, it should have been Jaime.
Oliver Brown
Because YAAS QUEEN. That's literally the reason for all of the female character suddenly ending up in charge.
Isaiah Gonzalez
Doesn't Jon know that Bran is still alive? I guess birth-right stealing is nothing less than expected from a Tardgaryan bastard.
Benjamin Sanchez
He does, so does Sansa. Actually most of the North knows. The show just forgot about it because Bran isn't a fan favorite.
Connor Cook
No. It's too complicated for showfags. They have to make everything clean and politically correct. Just have a little girl turn Jon into a king instead. That's like progressive and stuff.
Jeremiah Cooper
On a side note, what was Loras doing in King's Landing in the first place? He didn't have anyone left to marry and I'm pretty sure he's the only heir to House Tyrell in the show. Why would Olenna put the House's only legacy in the most dangerous and volatile place in the 7 Kingdoms surrounded by Lannisters for no good reason when he could've been /comfyinhighgarden/ and safe.

>ITT speculation about how westeros citizens will react to events that they haven't had time to react to, because they just happened
