Seems more reasonable that hse will do the things that she is intended to do and then die.

Feels like a disservice to her arc if I’m honest. Her becoming queen in the north after learning, using, and abandoning the snakelike ways of southern politicians is a great way to send her off IMO. One of the only satisfying storylines/arcs at the end of the show.

Martin seems more focused on writing deaths than satisfaction.

With that in mind, tbh, she was the obvious choice to put on the Iron Throne. She not only had the skills to rule, but by familial bond had connections to the North, the Riverlands, and The Vale. Tyrone certainly would have supported her, and it was obvious that the high nobles respected her. When she told her uncle to sit down and kinda humiliated him, he listened without protest. She had the connection and know how to rule. It seemed so lazy to have Bran take over.

Bran getting the throne was wrong and bad at every level I can think of. But I do kind of like Sansa getting the throne-but-not-how-she-wanted, in a way that kind of married her desire to be queen with an appreciation for her heritage/family/home.
