It was painfully obvious that the writers themselves weren't even interested in Bran's story. They left him out of season 5 and barely acknowledged him in the last 3 seasons.
What, you weren't impressed with the blank eyed soul searching thing? Wasn't that enough to logically make him king of all (except for the North)? Sansa was having none of that. The council laughed at Sam's suggestion of the kingdoms ruling themselves but had no problem with a the Starks ruling the 7 kingdoms.
Brain being made king was actually a stunner for me because I, too, saw nothing in Bran that would lead me to believe he was capable of command over 6 kingdoms.

I could headcanon that he foresaw all of this and didn't intervene so he could become king and try to gain control of Dany's dragon. He had visions of Drogon flying over King's Landing, the exact same shot was used after Dany heard the bells, back in season 4. He also saw the destroyed Red Keep with ash falling in that same sequence. He knew Dany was going to go batshit. Him being an evil mastermind would've been better than what they did.
I think this goes along the same lines as giving Juliette infinite power from the earth or Diana the golden snowflake of power. It's a cool thing, but then what do they do with a character who is so omnipotent? Even though he can see the future, you can't have him see the future and actually warn the characters of impending danger because he'd be the solution to every problem.
