No he wouldn't. He makes a great military leader, but not a political one. He's too much like Ned. He'd get himself killed really quickly. Dany has learned how to be a better leader politically, and more importantly is much better at choosing advisors and taking advice.

Plus, given the gains that women are finally making in Westeros, it would be a really shitty message for the female heir to die so that another male heir can have the throne.

Jon is nowhere near as trusting as Ned. He learned that lesson, literally with his life. That is what the killing of the people who killed him was all about.

Dany just burns people to death when they disagree with her. So, if you want a great dictator, she is your person. If you MUuusssttTTTT have a woman on the throne Sansa is a far better option.

I'm not really a feminist but I hate the trope where there's a male and female character and he's the Chosen One and she's the Love Interest even though, because of her background and skills, she's just as capable, if not more so, as him of being the Hero. It is very clearly sexist.

This happening to Daenerys, especially if she stays alive just long enough to shoot out a kid and then Jon sits on the Iron Throne with an heir in place, is the only thing I truly dread for the final season. Sansa might be my favorite character and I'd rather her die than for the show to do Dany like that. Daenerys works so hard and long for everything she's got but then Jon gets to keep it all because his baby daddy was Rheagar. Fuck that.

I agree with this completely. ALso, why did Jon have to be made legit? It would be just as satisfying for the story if he was the child of Rheagar and Leanna, but they never married.

da

Jon is legitimate because Targaryens practiced polygyny.

I want to know why Rhaegar thought it was a good idea to have two sons named Aegon.

I'm the person you responded to and they made Jon legitimate to make it neat and tidy. It was stupid, though. Rheagar should have had no grounds to annul his marriage to Elia. What reasoning was even used? It's bullshit and maybe what pissed me off the most about season 7. What's worse are the fans who defend it by saying shit like "there's dragons in the show but you're hung up on the legalities?" Yes, I am because the show has made legalities extremely relevant!

Pretty sure that’s not how it’s gonna go in the books, because the show explanation had plot holes you could ride a dragon through. The show, I’m guessing, didn’t want to explain Targaryen polygamy to the audience, and knew that most would accept an annulment, even if in-universe it would never have happened.
