Better stories? Some of these people do. Others? Not so much.
Joffrey? Just a spoiled, sadistic punk. Not much story.
Khal Drogo? Eh. Some story there, but not much.
ect ect
You are overthinking the meme. The point is that if you are going to win The Game of Thrones then you should have really earned it. He didn't do jackshit. His only contribution to the story line was to lead the NK into a place where there could be an ambush. Well that and to substantiate the revelation that Sam had about Jon.
So, the only thing he did was save mankind? Ok.
Bran was the best choice to be King. First, he didn't want the job. Second, he held the memories of mankind's entire existence, so he could see what mistakes were made. And lastly, he was pragmatic instead of political.
From the lore in the books being King or Queen was never about the "best qualified". They shut down Sam pretty quickly and even laughed at his ass when he suggested they use Democracy to select the person.
Throughout the history is was always who was able to take the power. Even inherited power had to fight to keep it.
Bran may have been a wise and fair ruler but given the conflict in the book to get the Iron Throne he didn't do anything to earn it. Actually only Jon did.
Oh well. We got what the Hollywood writers decided to give us, which is always the case.
They earned their paycheck from people like me that subscribed to HBO. It cost me about $100 a year so eight years worth of the stories and the other entertainment helped to give them their their paycheck.
