To contrast, Bran being named King of the Six Kingdoms is probably the most controversial element of the series finale, aside from Jon assassinating Daenerys after she went full Mad Queen Dany on the citizens of King’s Landing.
It’s just too bad that there was no way to get Ned’s reaction to everything.
Sansa was poised to eventually become Queen of the Seven Kingdoms by marrying Joffrey when Ned lost his head in Season 1; taking her place as Queen of the North without needing or seemingly even really wanting a husband shows just how much she changed after surviving all the way through to the end of Season 8.
