I'm not sure I agree with this Bran/Iron Throne theory, or if it's a good thing at all. Of course it makes sense if the whole prophecy about Bran simply ended with the Night King, and him being this kind of Messianic figure (not sure where that leaves Jon who was conceived out of actual prophecy) destined to end the Long Night. However, trying to connect it to the Iron Throne goes against everything we know about Westeros, its politics, and its rulers. The fight for the Iron Throne, or politics in Westeros in general has always been presented in very realistic (some might say even brutal), rational terms; and that also contributed to why they had so much issues mobilizing against the Night King, and his threat, who epitomize magic. It's no surprise it had to take Jon Snow, and Daenerys, who came from beyond Westeros, and with dragons, to come together to defeat them. Even Aegon the Conqueror whose ancestors left Valyria because of prophecy conquered Westeros simply because he had more firepower.
Even if we assume there is a first for everything, and someone destined for the Iron Throne will rule finally - there is no guarantee that this will be good for Westeros, either in the short or long term, and the creators didn't even bother to try to show us this. Even Tyrion's pitch for Bran was laughable, and are we meant to believe all these Lords of Westeros have suddenly had an epiphany? What happens when Bran dies? And I'm willing to give his reign the benefit of the doubt, despite the fact that he had no interest in ruling, and left matters up to Tyrion. And finally, if Bran knew all of this, then he let Daenerys kill tens of thousands so he could be ruler? That to me makes him no better than Daenerys who at least did it to save millions, and actually had a better shot at making the world a better place.
