History YMMV / GameOfThronesS8E6TheIronThrone

* UnfortunateImplications: Bran's title being "Bran the Broken". While the moniker carries various symbolic meanings in the context of the narrative (most obviously its being a CallBack to Tyrion's line about sympathising with "cripples, bastards and broken things"), it is also something people with disabilities are often called, and regarded as, in real life. It has already been pointed out by several people that having him be called "Bran the Unbroken" instead would have kept the symbolic significance, without echoing any insults thrown at wheelchair users in real life (and might actually work as a TakeThat to the people who do describe them as "broken").

* {{Narm}}: Revealing that this whole saga will be recorded in-universe as "A Song of Ice and Fire." Not only does it come across a cheap homage/ripoff to Lord of the Rings as well as the book fandom, but the ice and fire barely play any role in the whole political mess. The White Walkers invaded Westeros for all of five minutes before being killed off and forgotten by literally everyone. Dany on the other hand enters Westeros very late in the story and her story can be summed up as "she burned a lot of stuff then died anticlimatically."

* PlotArmor: Jon kills Dany with her Unsullied & Dothraki right outside between his loyal northmen and himself, and instead of brutally murdering him - as they are shown doing to defeated prisoners minutes before hand - take him prisoner and hold him for the weeks or months it would have taken for the lords and ladies of Westeros to assemble and allow them to elect a monarch, who happens to be Jon's brother so far as they know, and accept his judgment on Jon's crimes. Now with the combined armies of Westeros gathered and ready to fight over the issue of Jon's life, it's reasonable enough that Grey Worm would back down, however angry he was over it. But it's a hard pill to swallow that Jon lived long enough for that to happen; either Arya would have helped Jon fight/sneak his way to freedom or the Unsullied and Dothraki would have killed him and dealt with the Northmen after the fact.

* MoralEventHorizon: Just in case it needed to be made clear that Daenerys has become the very kind of tyrant that she wished to depose, her NewEraSpeech reveals that she has plans to conquer the rest of the world so she can "liberate" their populations.

* InferredHolocaust: While ElectiveMonarchy seems like a way to ensure that tyrants will not take the throne, history has show these tend to revert into hereditary monarchies in the long run. Indeed, the lack of hereditary successor may actually lead to civil war, as even if Bran has a solid recommendation for his successor, he or she may not be one all the lords desire for whatever reason, with the usual “bloodline” excuse not being able to be fallen back on as it has in the past.

Not to mention that even if Bran has a solid choice for his successor, there is a good chance a civil war will happen upon his death as people may not agree with his choice (if he chooses a successor in any case), allowing the Game of Thrones to continue.
