The answers were -
I'm really looking forward to his fate in the books.to me, the show lost a chunk of it's magic when they killed off Stannis
for the piece of shit he was, he was the wild card that kept the show extremely entertaining to me, it helps he was written spectacularly
The Riverlands aren't the Westerlands. In the book or the show.
he was written terribly. Especially in season 5.to me, the show lost a chunk of it's magic when they killed off Stannis

Not sure, which is worse. The guy who spent a few weeks emptying chamber pots representing the citadel or no-one representing one of the most powerful kingdoms at this supposed great council.
I don't think Bran would have become King if he didn't foresee the plan to give Arya the dagger and make himself bait to kill the night king. I don't think the endgame would have taken place without the white walkers invading.
Same reason Olenna got her daughter to be Queen and Mace was previously Master of Coin- The Reach is responsible for much of the country's food supplies and may be the wealthiest of the Kingdoms in the wake of the issues Casterly Rock is having.
He was probably mandated by HBO to appear as much as possible because viewers like him.
fan favourite added to a scene because it had to be funny for some reason.
Meh I doubt HBO had any say in that writing room. D&D did what they wanted to do. They liked Bronn. He's a meme joke machine.
I think it's pretty clear that he was in bloodlust mode ever since Missandei, and it was evidenced when he chucked his spear last episode (being egged on by Dany's actions). So I think there's some personal liberties being taken here in terms of the Lannister executions.
That's true. Although George has hinted HBO has asked for popular characters to be featured more. He described it as 'network pressure'
He doesn't, but Bronn loves titles and prestige. He's the guy who keeps going for promotions just because he loves promotions and the good life that comes with that status. The power doesn't interest him, the executive class reclining airline seats do.
Also, a small issue but I hate how insignificant him riding Rhaegal ended up feeling. In the season 7 I thought it was quite cool how Drogon approached him, hinting at some bond due to his Targaryen lineage. I envisioned the moment where he rides a dragon before people know, and they're like "wtf only the blood of the dragon could do that". Instead Dany's just like "hop on" like it's one of her pet horses. They have their Aladdin magic carpet ride and she didn't seem phased at all that this Northern bastard can ride a dragon.
Well, yeah. You can see the setup for it w/ the Tarlys and Tyrells being taken out, but it's another "didn't do enough setup" thing from S7/8.
Having weak/ineffectual people under you is a good thing if you want to consolidate authoritarian power. Gutting external agencies and consolidating power within the executive offices Is what you see them do in the real world. If Book Bran ends up truly being Galaxy Brain Littlefinger, it makes total sense. (And allowing the North to be independent would also play into that, as Sansa would be by far the most strong-willed opposition figure.)
Jon Arryn, Ned Stark, and Tywin Lannister were all hand and lords. Someone, like their wife or something, rules in their stead while away.
Bran would probably allow it. Man would just nod at your every request.
So what would happen to the Lord already governing at Storms End? Bran just kicks him out of the castle?
Cersei robbed the Reach to pay for the crown's debts (and the GC), though.
The finale doesn't give a shit about rightful heirs.
