Inadequate Inheritor	comment	A successful bigwig, be it in business, politics, magic or even world conquest, is growing old, and in preparation for an eventual retirement and death, looks to their adult children to see who among them can take up their mantle... and is faced with incompetence, The Slacker, lack of interest, or a Corrupt Corporate Executive in the making. These are by no means an exhaustive list of possible shortcomings, indeed just about anything that can make a parent ask "Why Couldn't You Be Different?" is grounds for this trope. Special mention should go to times when the Inadequate Inheritor is not good/heroic enough, too evil, or not evil enough. Whatever the case, the prospective retiree doesn't think the inheritor deserve their potential inheritance... at least, not as they currently are. Cue an Impossible Task, search for a non-standard heir from outside the family (who has a statistically abnormal chance to be an orphan/bastard child of the retiree), or otherwise trying to reform their potential heir or forcibly change them one way or another. Results vary: the heir may become worthy, rebel against their "benefactor" (which may be what they always wanted) or fail outright and prompt the retiree to switch to plan B, become immortal. Expect this to be a knife through the heart of any children who just want their parent to say "I'm So Proud of You" but have been passed over. In the most extreme cases, they might get an actual knife in the heart to make way for a more suitable candidate. Especially nasty when an iron-handed Patriarch crushed their spirit into Nice Guy and The Dutiful Son and now despises them for it — with bonus points if he had used the threat of Passed-Over Inheritance to help crush them. May be related The Wrongful Heir to the Throne. If the inadequate inheritor actually gets the position, through guile, lack of other candidates or sheer luck, they may either turn into a surprisingly good leader once actually in that position, or they will become a Sketchy Successor. Compare Game Between Heirs. Contrast Superior Successor and Rejecting the Inheritance. Sometimes (particularly in Feminist Fantasy), a girl will be seen as this because of her gender, and/or be passed over in favor of a less competent male. See also Sucksessor. To avoid this, see Disinherited Child.

Inadequate Inheritor / int_1037b4c0	comment	The Parliament of Heroes: Amity voices this belief about herself in comparison to both her new mentor, Donna Troy, and the previous Wonder Girl, Cassie Sandsmark. Due to the years of abuse she suffered under Odalia, Amity has developed the belief that if she can't instantly succeed at something, she must be a failure. She's first seen voicing this to Donna when she struggles to lift a boulder with her newfound Super-Strength that she could've easily thrown aside with her Abomination Magic.

Link eventually gets him out of his funk, leaving Ralis to determine that he can't actually help his people if he's halfway across Hyrule moping about his insecurities all day. He then returns to Zora's Domain to take his place on the throne, feeling that this is what his mother would've wanted for him, and inspires the Zora to move on from Queen Rutela's death.

Inadequate Inheritor / int_11b7db91	comment	In Adventure Time, the rightful heir that Princess Bubblegum creates in her laboratory turns out to be a failure, and kind of... "special," to put it nicely: her Frankenstein's Idiot, Lemongrab, is a horrible ruler, because he's dysfunctional, socially inept, mentally unadjusted, overly-sensitive, obnoxious, and... well, a butt. It gets VERY worse. Bonnibel then tries to give Lemongrab an equally insane little brother, so that they'll scream at each other and like it. This works for a time, but eventually they degrade into full-sibling rivalry (complete with cannibalism) over their "son". As for her daughter, Goliad gets the wrong idea about how to be a good ruler (not helped by her God Save Us from the Queen! psychic powers) and tries to be a ruthless dictator, so she has to be psychically imprisoned. So far, Bonnibel's best attempt at an heir was Lemongrab junior-junior, Lemonhope, but he decided to go Walking the Earth instead. And the Gumball Guardian 2.0 / Banana Split Elite Collective that ultimately takes over as a multi-layered ruling party? They enslave the entire candy kingdom in gatcha stasis balls and wander aimlessly for hundreds of years, forcing new heroes to bust the sleeping prisoners out.

Inadequate Inheritor / int_12300cc3	comment	Watchmen: Subverted with Ozymandias/Adrian Veidt: he was more than capable of inheriting his father's wealth, but instead he gave it all away and built his own financial empire. There are hints (but nothing overt) that this was also largely influenced by the fact that his parents had been Nazis. Adrian changed his name and left any connection to them behind. Also subverted with Dan Dreiberg/Nite Owl II. His father was a successful banker/financier who, despite never really getting his son's obsession with birds, left him the money he uses to pay for his crime fighting career. Additionally, Hollis Mason, the original Nite Owl was more than happy to let him carry on the name and costume-theme after he retired to be a mechanic.

Inadequate Inheritor / int_16fc4335	comment	Heralds of Valdemar: The story told of the founding of the country of Valdemar says that its first king, although confident in his son's ability to succeed the throne and rule well, feared that sooner or later one of his descendants would fall into this trope. That fear led him to pray to every god he knew of for a solution, a prayer answered by the arrival of the first three Companions and the quick adoption of a law requiring that the country's monarch must also be Chosen by a Companion in order to be eligible for the throne. Even with that, the trope is a subject of some concern in Arrows of the Queen, albeit to a lesser degree; thanks to a combination of benign neglect from her mother and a particularly ill-intentioned nursemaid, Queen Selenay's daughter Elspeth is such a Royal Brat that her mother and the royal Court fear she won't be Chosen and a suitable Heir will have to be selected from among the other Heralds. One of Talia's first responsibilities upon being Chosen as a Herald is to attempt to civilize Elspeth enough that she might be capable of becoming a Herald. A non-monarchic example appears in the Last Herald-Mage Trilogy, where Vanyel Ashkevron, firstborn son of Lord Withen, looks and acts nothing like his father, who Wanted a Gender-Conforming Child, and is The Unfavorite. After some misguided attempts to 'shape him up,' Van is packed off to Haven, where he finds his true and tragic destiny as... well, the title character, eventually being Chosen and becoming a Herald. This removes Vanyel from the obligation to be his father's heir, letting that fall to a younger brother who's more to Withen's liking.

In the post-game content it comes out that, the Hero is a Hidden Backup Prince, the son of Clavius' older brother, and therefore has a better claim to Argonia's throne than either Charmles OR Clavius. The Golden Ending has Clavius denounce his own son as the fraud he is (he cheated his way through his Rite of Passage) and instead backs the Hero.

However, the Rune does not allow Alenia to wield its power effectively, and when she tries, the rune nearly goes berserk and needs to be subdued. The rune is removed, and given to Lady of Black Magic Sialeeds Falenas, who can wield the full power of the Rune. However, Sialeeds has her own agenda and uses the rune to destroy an ambush set for the player. Alenia, when finding out that Sialeeds failed, accuses her of treason. However, Sialeeds invokes the trope and points out that Alenia knows just how hard it is to invoke the Rune's power. This fools her.

Inadequate Inheritor / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach plays with this regarding the title of "Kenpachi". Retsu Unohana, the first Kenpachi, determined that the young boy she fought centuries ago in Rukongai was strong enough to surpass her and inherit her mantle. However, because said child was an even bigger Blood Knight than she was, he subconsciously restrained his own power upon realizing that he was stronger than Unohana, afraid that if he killed her he would never again face a Worthy Opponent. This devastated Unohana, who was ashamed of being so weak that she made her potential successor cripple himself like this. She then stepped down as Kenpachi and allowed others to inherit the title, yet deep down she always knew the people who kept succeeding her as Captains of the 11th Division were in truth pretenders in all but name. Eventually, the young boy from her past, now a stronger, grown man going by Kenpachi Zaraki, killed the incumbent Captain of the 11th Division and took over in his place, becoming widely acknowledged by most Shinigami as the strongest Kenpachi in the history of the Gotei 13. When the Wandenreich invades Soul Society and Zaraki suffers a crushing defeat at the hands of Yhwach, Unohana acknowledges that the time has come for her to restore his true power, and the two engage in a duel to the death where Unohana repeatedly kills and heals Zaraki, each death releasing the restraints he placed on himself. Once he becomes strong enough to land a killing blow on Unohana, she happily allows herself to die after formally recognizing Zaraki as the true inheritor of the name of Kenpachi.

Removing them from the succession is easy, ensuring the next heir is one of yours is more difficult. Unless you choose elective monarchy and select your children's mentors and spouses based on talent instead of political expediency, turning your court and extended family into an anachronistic haven of meritocratic excellence: in that case, even if your current ruler's sons happen to be inept, they'll have plenty of capable cousins selectable as heirs. Bonus point if your dynasty is Basque: cue the long unbroken line of hyper-competent badass queens conquering the world.

Not helped by the fact that Oliver (especially Oliver), Roy, and Diggle see her as this and aren't shy about telling her so. This culminates in a villain drugging her leading to her seeing Sara beat her will taunting her over the idea that she could do it. Nyssa also initially shares this view, but changes her mind and becomes a mentor to Laurel, and Felicity points out that Sara may have been a better fighter, but Laurel is a better person. Sara is eventually resurrected, and completely supports Laurel's efforts. The position must be cursed, as following Laurel's murder her replacement is also shown to be deeply insecure over her role.

Along with the pressure her father had already put on her to awaken those powers, hearing the public make fun of her behind her back only made Zelda more tense. Only when Link was on the brink of death was Zelda able to awaken her powers. By that point, Calamity Ganon had already destroyed most of Hyrule. Riju fears not measuring up to her mother, the previous chief of the Gerudo; her people all try and shield her from the harshness of the world with kind words and praise, and she fears their lack of criticism will lead her to become complacent.

He's no more supporting of Diddy Kong or Dixie Kong, either. The 100% Completion challenges in the series are even said to have been created by Cranky to make the young Kongs prove themselves worthy of his respect — whilst the Gameboy remakes in-universe are a result of Cranky challenging Donkey and Diddy to take another shot at repeating their former successes against the Kremlings, to really prove they deserve his respect.

No. Because he's been dead for over a year before the series begins anyway.

Inadequate Inheritor / int_30a5ebfd	comment	In a flashback in Naruto, Hiashi states that he's disappointed with Hinata's performance and notes that the clan doesn't need a weak heir, but never goes so far as to openly disinherit her. This, however, is before Hinata Took a Level in Badass, and the two have not been seen interacting in canon since, so fan works have several interpretations over whether Hinata lost her right to inherit the clan back then, and whether she would be considered worthy to inherit the Hyuga clan when the time came. Post-timeskip, they are seen together as he observes her training in the clan fighting style to the point of exhaustion. No dialogue specific to the matter of inheritance is provided, but he seems to be more approving and proud of her determination despite being less naturally talented than Neji, the "genius" of the clan who was born to a branch family and can never inherit the clan. When facing his resurrected twin brother, who believes that his current state is punishment for trying to change his fate, he says that Hinata and Neji both fight to prove that destiny is not written in stone, indicating an acknowledgment of her efforts to change herself.

Inadequate Inheritor / int_38c57aa2	comment	Eberron: This is a brewing problem in Breland. The king is wise and has achieved great things, but he's also old, and none of his heirs are anywhere near worthy to take on the position. There is a significant republican movement...but its main backer is Lawful Evil and expects it to make him effectively the next king. Accusing a Valenar elf of being this is typically followed by rolling initiative. The core of Valenar culture is the belief that the spirits of their greatest ancestors are kept in existence through living elves emulating the ancestors who choose them, and most of the Valaes Tairn take this responsibility deadly seriously. As such, the accusation that someone is failing to live up to that standard - or, worse, actively disgracing the ancestor's legacy - is a direct called shot to the stereotypical Valenar elf's greatest source of pride and biggest insecurity all at once, and when the person you're targeting is a member of Khorvaire's most notable Badass Army, it's a shot you want to be very careful about taking.

Unfortunately, his father didn't like it so he cut Vernon from the will. In "Harry Prongs Tatum", James Potter's father realized James was a spoiled brat not ready to take over the full inheritance. Because of that, he set a list of conditions James had to fulfill otherwise he'd just inherit a portion. Harry inherited the task.

Nooo!"; after attempting to escape from the castle by climbing from a window, the King cuts his rope, sending him to an almost certain demise. In an attempt to gain a new heir, the king then has Prince Herbert's bride-to-be's father murdered so that she might consider him as a father, then claims he's going to marry her off to Sir Lancelot, who had only just showed up and murdered half the party guests. Before this can get anywhere, though, it's revealed that Herbert survived, much to the king's annoyance.

They succeed in fulfilling this condition (and as it turns out, the old man dies at the very stroke of midnight), but the man gets the last laugh on them as it turns out that the masks have permanently disfigured their faces to make them accurately reflect their personalities.

Inadequate Inheritor / int_69fa7496	comment	Disney Ducks Comic Universe: Whether or not Scrooge McDuck considers Donald Duck and Gladstone Gander to be this, thus leaving his fortune to the triplets Huey, Dewey and Louie instead, is a case of Depending on the Writer. Although the usual paradigm is that this is the case, as Donald is typically set up as too likely to squander it and Gladstone's luck-dependent laziness offends Scrooge, some stories instead present Donald as the heir, but one who desperately needs some training (at least in Scrooge's eyes). The decision to have the triplets be Scrooge's heirs was made most prominently in the 1953 Carl Barks story "Some Heir over the Rainbow". Taking advantage of the legend of a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow, Scrooge made a Secret Test of Character. To test his potential heirs' skills, he wanted to give one thousand dollars to each one of them without them knowing the money came from him. Using three rainbows and three pots, he managed to give one thousand dollars to Huey, Dewey and Louie, another thousand to Gladstone and the last one to Donald. Donald spent the money on a down payment for a new car; Gladstone saw no immediate need for the money so he decided to hide it somewhere; and Huey, Dewey and Louie used their money to help a man search for a treasure. Before Donald's nephews had a return from their investment, Scrooge would, despite considering an "awful injustice" to allow Gladstone to inherit his fortune, choose the lucky bastard over Donald for being the least likely to squander it. However, Donald was earlier declared Scrooge's heir in the 1949 story, "Race to the South Seas". And three years after "Some Heir Over The Rainbow", in 1956's "Two is Company", Donald and Gladstone were again competing for the position of Scrooge's heir. And in the 1961 story, "Bongo on the Congo", the whole plot is Scrooge considering Donald his heir and trying to make him better fitted for the role. Also, Donald's inadequacy is as writer-dependent thing; in several stories, such as "City of Golden Roofs" and "Crocodile Collector", whilst Scrooge still "wins out" at the end, Donald still displays considerable business savvy. For example, in "City of Golden Roofs", although Scrooge wins by receiving a huge golden nugget, the sizable amount of worked golden goods and sculpted jewels Donald earned would probably have a greater value than Scrooge's huge nugget. And in "Crocodile Collector", Donald allows Scrooge to swindle him out of the $10 thousand he was promised so that he can secretly claim the far larger treasure he discovered whilst searching for Scrooge's special crocodile.

His father, King Gavilar, united the feuding Alethi High Princes under his rule and was considered The Good King by his subjects. However he was assassinated, and now the only thing holding the kingdom together is the Vengeance Pact the Princes swore to avenge the previous king. Elhokar is a borderline Manchild that is constantly looking over his shoulder for assassins, real or otherwise and virtually everyone sees that he's not really up to the task of running the kingdom. He gets incredibly jealous when he sees others (like his uncle) do a better job than him. Words of Radiance reveals that he is aware of this, however, and genuinely tries to be The Good King, but he simply doesn't know how. Whenever he ignores his advisors it turns out he should have listened, when he follows their advices it turns out to be bad advice, basically nothing seems to work out for him. Shallan, after getting to know him, even starts to believe he really does have what it takes to live up to his father's legacy. Sadly, he's killed before he has the chance to really try.

Their father is giving primogeniture a try in a setting that usually has heirs compete with each other before one is chosen. As a result, Wilfried has grown so complacent that at age seven, he only knows part of the alphabet, can't do basic math and doesn't know a single song despite being expected to play one in public for his upcoming social debut. Being spoiled by the people who are supposed to educate him and his doting grandmother also made him a Royal Brat.

Dojima's own Captain, Shintaro Kazama, and Masaru Sera of the Nikkyo Consortium work together to make sure he doesn't, both men agreeing that the Tojo Clan would be brought to ruin if a man as ruthless and ambitious as Dojima were to become the next Chairman. Dojima catches on to Kazama plotting behind his back and (since Kazama is too competent and well-respected among the Tojo Clan to just have killed) manipulates events to have him sent to prison so that he can't interfere while he has his Lieutenants acquire the Empty Lot for him in order to secure his Captaincy, setting off the events of the game when Kazuma Kiryu, one of Kazama's protÃ©gÃ©s, becomes involved in Dojima's schemes.

Whenever he ignores his advisors it turns out he should have listened, when he follows their advices it turns out to be bad advice, basically nothing seems to work out for him. Shallan, after getting to know him, even starts to believe he really does have what it takes to live up to his father's legacy. Sadly, he's killed before he has the chance to really try.

Admittedly, this had a lot more to do with the boy's failure to emulate his father's sociopathy than his relative shortfalls in skill, cunning, and levelheadedness. In The Legend of Korra, both Korra and her mentor Tenzin feel the pressure of living up to Aang's legacy and responsibilities, as Avatar and progenitor of the new Airbenders respectively. Book 2 entails their learning to accept that they are their own people and not the roles placed on them.

Quark becomes Nagus and Zek's son makes several attempts on his life so that he can usurp the title. Turns out Zek's not really dead, and it was all a ruse to test to see if his son was ready to be Nagus. Zek determines that he isn't due to his impulsive attempts to simply kill Quark instead of subtly amassing power and support before getting rid of him. Quark himself was not in on the ruse and was not very happy to find out his life was endangered just to teach Zek's son a lesson. When the Nagus really does retire in one of the last episodes of the series, the successor ends up being Rom, a new kind of Nagus for the new Feringinar.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Prince Ralis of the Zora Tribe thinks he has become this after his mother's death at the hands of the Shadow Beasts while he fled to Hyrule to secure aid for his people. Link eventually gets him out of his funk, leaving Ralis to determine that he can't actually help his people if he's halfway across Hyrule moping about his insecurities all day. He then returns to Zora's Domain to take his place on the throne, feeling that this is what his mother would've wanted for him, and inspires the Zora to move on from Queen Rutela's death. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Princess Zelda was considered to be this by her people due to her not being able to awaken the powers that slept within her soul. Along with the pressure her father had already put on her to awaken those powers, hearing the public make fun of her behind her back only made Zelda more tense. Only when Link was on the brink of death was Zelda able to awaken her powers. By that point, Calamity Ganon had already destroyed most of Hyrule. Riju fears not measuring up to her mother, the previous chief of the Gerudo; her people all try and shield her from the harshness of the world with kind words and praise, and she fears their lack of criticism will lead her to become complacent.

In his mind, Mongo can only be ruled by an iron fist covered by a velvet glove. In one episode, Aura ends up unintentionally causing Ming to be put into a temporary coma. When Ming wakes up, he's mad that he's still alive. After all, a capable and ambitious leader would have ensured that Ming wouldn't wake up. As such, Aura is unworthy. In the final episode, as Ming is being led to the gas chamber, he looks at his teary-eyed daughter (who was part of the coup and ordered Ming's execution) and tells her he can be finally proud of her. Ming's son, Terek, had it worse, almost killed at birth due to being a mutant. But he somehow escaped and became leader of the outcast "Deviates" and officially led the rebellion. Apparently succeeding his father.

He first crossed paths with Bruce Wayne because he thought he could convince Bruce to become his heir with the temptations of power (his empire) and love (his daughter Talia al Ghul). Notably, Talia is competent enough to be his heir, but he has issues with her being a woman and would rather have her give him a male heir, with Bruce as the Chosen Conception Partner. Another example is Damian Wayne. It's shown that, in the future, he will become Batman after he accidentally causes the death of Dick Grayson (the first long-term, accepted Batman successor). Bruce calls him out on this immediately, and Damian himself even admits that he can't measure up to Bruce or Dick, but will try anyway, because he promised to protect Gotham. And so he cheats, making a deal with the devil so that he cannot die, and even then, he is still inferior. Bruce sees a vision of this future and thus tells Damian that he can't ever become Batman.

Henry eventually confronts his son about his behavior, and in the 2012 BBC production, Hal's rather flippant response earns him a slap in the face. (Hal isn't really an example, though; he's engaging in Obfuscating Stupidity — well, obfuscating debauchery, but there isn't a separate trope for that — so that he can appear to reform overnight once he becomes king. Shakespeare's audience would have known perfectly well that he grows up to be Henry V, considered one of the most successful of English kings.)

Ironically, it's all but stated that Jushtin would've been the better choice; while he became a diplomat who created long-lasting alliances between Mewni and several other kingdoms, she was a genocidal, racist warmongerer who tried to kill all monsters and was killed by them in turn. Due to her mental instability and lack of magic prowess, Dirhhennia the Heaped was passed over in the succession in favor of her younger sister Crescenta the Eager. It's hard to say if Dirhhennia would have been a better ruler, but considering Crescenta turned out to be a petty tyrant who manipulated everyone and led an anti-monster crusade, she couldn't have been worse.

For every great leader bringing their House to an apex of greatness, there is eventualy a wholly incompetent one who squanders the efforts of their forebears. Perhaps most notable with the Davion family of the Federated Suns, whose prior luminaries included Hanse Davion or Victor Steiner Davion. Unfortunately for House Davion, they ended up with the cowardly, wildly unethical, and actually psychotic Caleb Davion (as in, he experiences severe untreated paranoid schizophrenia that manifests as an Imaginary Friend who acts as a Toxic Friend Influence to encourage all his worst urges). The previously dominant Federated Suns was invaded and nearly conquered (in fact losing its capital world of New Avalon) during Caleb's reign and it takes his successor Julian to just barely start pulling things back.

Inadequate Inheritor / int_960062b7	comment	My Hero Academia: All Might's former sidekick Sir Nighteye wasn't thrilled to learn that All Might had chosen Izuku Midoriya, whom he saw as a random Quirkless kid, to be the inheritor of One For All, and during the internship he constantly belittles Midoriya and tries to convince him to give the One For All to Mirio Togata, thinking that he'd be a better successor for having not only the skills and power, but also the personality to become the next Symbol of Peace. He later changes his mind when Midoriya defies Sir Nighteye's Foresight Quirk, proving him that what he sees isn't set in stone. And in an ironic twist, it's later revealed that being Quirkless actually made Midoriya a better suited inheritor, since One For All has the side effect of shortening the wielder's lifespan if they already have a Quirk upon receiving it. Kyudai Garaki, All For One's most faithful follower, initially refuses to lend his aid to Tomura after All For One's arrest because he sees him as weak. He does, however, agree to change his mind if Tomura can make Gigantomachia submit to him. This is easier said than done, however, as not only does Gigantomachia also see Tomura as unworthy of being All For One's successor, he's strong enough that he spends the next month curbstomping the entirety of the League of Villains as they try to fight him. Eventually, both Dr. Garaki and Gigantomachia accept Tomura once he leads the League of Villains into usurping the Meta Liberation Army, which culminates with Tomura overcoming his past trauma and releasing all of his mental blocks, turning him into a Walking Wasteland.

Inadequate Inheritor / int_9a6791aa	comment	The titular aging monarch in King Lear prepares to bestow the best portions of his kingdom among his three daughters; after Goneril and Regan have made eloquent professions of their love for their father, Cordelia declares that even though her love for Lear has been dutiful, she proclaims that her future husband will share the duties. Lear ousts a dowerless Cordelia from the kingdom and the king of France marries her, while Lear divides his kingdom between Goneril and Regan, who treat him and his company of knights inhospitably, reducing the number to none, with Lear finding the stormy elements more hospitable than his harsh daughters. Old Gloucester, who himself has erroneously believed a forged letter by his bastard son Edmund that frames Edgar as conspiring against his father's estate, is blinded by Regan and Cornwall, and he joins Kent in rendering his services to Lear, while Cordelia goes out and nurses Lear back to health, before Edmund's forces capture them, with Goneril poisoning Regan before she commits suicide, and Lear reconciles with Cordelia before their deaths.

Inadequate Inheritor / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: This is the reason Samwell Tarly ends up joining the Night's Watch. His dad wants a warrior and a lord for a heir, and Sam is a soft-hearted, bookish boy of some obesity. When, after a long series of miscarriages and daughters, a second male heir is produced, his dad offers him a choice: join the Night's Watch, thereby forsaking all claims to land and heirs, or experience a Hunting "Accident". Made even worse because Sam had attempted to Take a Third Option by joining the Maesters, but his father, being an anti-intellectual, flatly refused. Jon Arryn's six-year-old, sickly and mentally stunted son Robert. Arryn tries to arrange for the boy to be sent away to be fostered in a more healthy environment — since his mother's over-protectiveness is a factor in his inadequacy — but dies before getting the chance. In response, King Robert takes away the title of Warden of the East from House Arryn. Tyrion's father Tywin Lannister tells him that he has no intention of letting him inherit, since he despises his son for his dwarfism and because his mother died giving birth to him. Tyrion is the second son of Lord Tywin, but his older brother Jaime is a member of the Kingsguard, and therefore has forsworn his rights to inherit, which Tywin is furious at him for. Ironically, Tyrion is probably the best potential inheritor of Tywin's children, and by far the most similar to Tywin himself, but Tywin's prejudice prevents him from seeing this. Cersei, being female, is ranked behind her two brothers. Nevertheless, she becomes the ruling Lady Lannister after her father dies and Tyrion is sentenced to death (Jamie can't inherit due to being in the Kingsguard). Her irrationality, paranoia, and cruel nature mean she's probably the worst possible candidate to carry on the Lannister family legacy. It would have been much better to skip to Tywin's younger brother Kevan, or literally anyone else. Speaking of the Kingsguard, the current membership is considered this by its veteran members. Lord Commander Selmy considers most of the others utterly unworthy; Jaime for breaking his oath and the rest for their lack of skill (in his early 60s, he claims to be capable of killing the five of them as easily as a dagger cuts through cheese, and they believe him). Things go downhill once he's kicked out. Jaime replaces him as commander, and tells one of the new guard that a member he had served with prior to the start of the series would have been able to cut through the six new members "with his left hand, while taking a piss with his right." This is especially evident in A Clash of Kings, where two of the Kingsguard are killed, one by an angry mob and one by a squire. This is how Robert feels about Joffrey, to the point that the only thing stopping him from abdicating is the thought of Joffrey taking his place. Given what happens when Robert dies and Joffrey inherits, staying was the right thing to do.

Jonas was everything Rusty isn't: tall, muscular, attractive, successful at seemingly everything, beloved 'round the world, a perennial hero, and the leading figure of a massive empire of both superscience and business. Rusty, by contrast, is stringy, bald, homely, a Bungling Inventor suffering from countless neuroses, generally held in derision, a Nominal Hero on most days, and struggling to keep the decaying family business alive. Later on, though, this starts being zigzagged, as it becomes increasingly apparent that Rusty, though not boasting anything resembling Jonas's talent, is a far better man with much healthier relationships with the people around him. He's also occasionally shown to be able to either complete the inventions that his father never finished or correct their flaws. Phantom Limb's family of costumed adventurers (suggested to have included FantÃ´mas and The Phantom) rejected him because severe birth defects left him unable to take on a life of adventuring. He gained his superpowers during a botched attempt to make himself whole and take on "the mantle of his forebears". He later confirms to Dr. Girlfriend that he was disinherited at a young age and forced to work his way up from nothing, unlike supervillains who fund their evil acts with trust funds like The Monarch does.

Inadequate Inheritor / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: Sam ended up in the Night's Watch because his father considered him this. Lord Tywin is an undisputed master of the game of thrones, but he is a 67-year-old man and views Tyrion as a celestial condemnation and openly tells his youngest son that lawful heir or not, neither gods nor men will make him heir to Casterly Rock, and laments that he cannot disprove Tyrion's lineage, though Tyrion is probably his equal (unlike his other children or grandchildren). Unfortunately, Tyrion is repeatedly discredited. This is the main flaw exploited by his enemies. Davos uses this argument to persuade the Iron Bank of Braavos to allow Stannis a small loan just to hedge their bets. This is Renly's justification for attempting to take the throne instead of Stannis or Joffrey. Both Stannis and Renly dispute their "nephew" Joffrey's parentage, but Stannis is the older Baratheon brother. Renly just hopes he can bank on people thinking he will be a better ruler and forget about the accepted rules of succession. Olenna Tyrell later admitted that the Tyrells should never have backed Renly's impossible and incompetent campaign and "should have stayed well out of it". Stannis considers Renly, who has never fought for anything, an inadequate inheritor for their ancestral home of Storm's End (as well as titles that Renly earned without any significant accomplishment), which Stannis withstood The Siege to hold in Robert's Rebellion. After Tywin is killed by Tyrion, Cersei is left to fill her daddy's shoes as the real power behind throne and as a political intrigue mastermind in Season 5. Having no foresight nor grasp of realpolitik, she fails on an epic scale when her attempts to sabotage Margaery backfires. It shows that Cersei is no Tywin, by a long shot. Even taking the throne for herself by killing everyone else that had a claim to it is likely to lead to her getting deposed in short order, given how many enemies she makes doing it.

That's why Zouken Matou adopted Sakura into the family. Nobody even bothered to tell Shinji that he was now entirely obsolete until a decade after she arrived. The fun part is that the inadequate inheritor and the inheritee? Lose big time to the 'substitute magus.' Only in one route, though. In the other two, Shinji loses big time to Shirou instead, after Sakura gave Rider to him. And, of course, Sakura has spent the last eleven years being horrifically abused by both of them, so she's hardly won either.... As was implied in Fate/stay night and shown in Fate/Zero, all the Matou line after Zouken himself have been Inadequate Inheritors. Shinji is just the culmination of the trend, having no magic potential whatsoever. (His soul does have sort of vestigial remnants of magic circuits, but that turns out to be a really bad thing for him in the only route where it's relevant.) It's also made clear that this trope is self-inflicted on Shinji, as he's actually fairly good at non-magus skills. He just wants to inherit a position he was never suited for.

The main conflict in the series comes from Queen Alicent Hightower trying (after being pressured by her father) to crown her son Aegon as king by proving that King Viserys' intended heir, his daughter Rhaenyra, is this trope. By all accounts, though, Aegon is the one who is inadequate, as he is shown to be a hedonistic teen who cares not for politics and later starts raping his serving girls. Rhaenyra, for all her faults, of which there are many, is actually interested in ruling the Realm, and is working to be a good leader, but many nobles think she'll be a poor ruler because she is a she.From the books When Aegon and Rhaenyra do finally clash, the stress of the conflict and so many things going wrong for her causes Rhaenyra to cross so many lines that she ends up being betrayed and fed alive to Aegon's dragon, and goes down in history as one of the worst monarch's Westeros has ever seen, resulting on an unofficial ban on a woman sitting on the Iron Throne.

Inadequate Inheritor / int_c0eae17	comment	In the Total War series, you typically have a Faction Leader and a Faction Heir. When the Faction Leader dies, the Heir is promoted and the game assigns a new Heir for your faction. (Often the new Leader's eldest son or younger brother.) Unfortunately, this may not always be the best person for the job. Some games, such as Rome, allow you to manually change your Faction Heir at the cost of some influence to the former Heir in the form of the "Disinherited" trait. Others, like Medieval II, do not allow you to manually switch your Heir, presumably for historical accuracy. If the game decides that your Faction Heir is going to be that greedy, incompetent governor in the middle of nowhere instead of your kickass, utterly loyal and upright general, your only option is to have your Faction Heir killed via Uriah Gambit and hope the game selects a better one.

Billy wants to inherit his father's hotel chain upon the announcement of the latter's retirement, but is deemed unworthy because he's uneducated, obnoxious, an idiot, and sometimes an ass. Billy tries to remedy this by trying to complete the education he never truly received to avoid having his father hand over the reins to corporate sleazebag Eric Gordon. Unusually for the trope, at the end of the film Billy himself recognizes that he really isn't a good choice for the job, and voluntarily steps aside so that an executive who is both competent and caring can take control.

He'd rather hang out with Jimmy and his girlfriend, Saffi. This is implied to be the case with the entirety of the Heinous family, barring Lucius I. When we meet all the other Heinouses in "Pop-Sicles", Beezy's grandfather Lucius VI demonstrates himself to be Eviler than Thou to the current Lucius (who is a Smug Snake and Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain), and scolds his son for how the people aren't miserable enough.

So instead he adopts an orphan and gives him some Training from Hell to make him just such a ruthless manager as he himself is. Seto takes over his adopted father's company quite rapidly, driving him to suicide. Gozaburo considered downloading Noah's mind into Seto's body but decided against it because he believed Seto was more adequate than Noah to inherit. As a result of a boosted intelligence but little to no emotional maturity, Noah has an Inferiority Superiority Complex and considers himself a god.

Kanata, the other twin, was declared by a series of tests to be the "better" child and became the heir. However, despite Haruka spending her entire life thinking Kanata had the easy life, Kanata was also this, belted when she was anything less than perfect and constantly under suspicion of being the "bad one" herself. Learning this and the fact that Kanata was forced to treat her so cruelly by the family under threat that they'd kill both sisters leads Haruka to reluctantly realize that there is no good or bad one and a Daddy DNA Test won't make the extended family love them.

As a result, he could only rely on the Estuuban brothers to win the war, but even this alliance didn't last and Vorakia turned on him for not being hawkish enough to invade the Ursula constellation. During the third war, he was only able to get Vismel's support, but no other planet to help him in his war with Vorakia Estuuban. By the present, Vorakia turns several key political players against Arcturo, ensuring that the galaxy is fractured.

Inadequate Inheritor / int_da89c5dd	comment	The Indian epic Mahabharata has this as a recurring problem for the Kuru dynasty. First, the dynastyâ€™s progenitor King Bharat states that none of his nine sons are worthy enough to inherit his kingdom, so he adopts a Brahmin boy and names him Crown Prince. Then we have Dhritharashtra who is first in line, but the kingdom elders deny him the throne due to his blindness. His brother Pandu is made king instead. When Pandu is forced to abdicate and leave, the eldersâ€™ concerns about Dhritharashtra are proven right - he ends up an Entitled Bastard who is willfully ignorant of his son Duryodhanâ€™s many character flaws. And finally, Duryodhan is also in line for his fatherâ€™s throne, but everyone wants Panduâ€™s eldest son, the wise Yudhistir to become the heir. Duryodhan plots and wrests the kingdom from his cousin and proves to be a grown up Enfant Terrible whose many transgressions include murder, attempted murder, attempted sexual molestation, Droit du Seigneur and cheating at dice games. It takes a bloody civil war to depose him and put the capable Yudhistir back on the throne.

His son Zach, who only discovered the truth after the original's death, was, if anything, better than his old man. However, after Zach began training the third, a street orphan named Roscoe James, this left his own son, Jerome, somewhat out in the cold. As it turned out, Jerome was neither a mechanical whiz, nor was he a good athlete (his only attempt at it ended in a busted knee). While his father was entirely okay with this, as it meant he'd live a much safer life, Jerome still clearly felt unhappy he wouldn't be able to carry on the legacy—though he did end up saving a few lives thanks to his medical training.

Considering she plans to turn her country into a meritocracy and abolish the nobility, this keeps in line with her goal. In a more specific example, her supports with Caspar involve how Caspar's older brother is lazy, greedy and acts as though he's entitled to inherit House Bergliez, while Caspar, for all his faults, is brave and hard-working.

Unlike canon, though, their mother managed to smooth relations between them so there were no hard feelings. Dirhhenia arguably got the better deal, as Crescenta not only regretted taking what she believed was her sister's birthright, she had stolen Dirhhenia's boyfriend from her, only to find he was a serial cheater. Many considered Venus one of these, due to her promiscuity, and wondered why Galaxia didn't disinherit her in favor of Minguanta. Galaxia's reason given was because Venus was good at numbers. Some suspect Galaxia, who could see the future, saw a Bad Future for Mewni if Venus was denied her birthright. Star is considered this by her people due to her actions that led to the War of Two Worlds and the decimation of Mewni's population. Star herself considers herself one, and wouldn't even be queen had it not been forced onto her as a punishment by the Magic High Commission.

Or pretending his daughter Firia is 'just adopted', refusing to recognize her as his daughter by blood because she was born without wings. In Dragon Quest VIII, Prince Charmles (the obligatory "Prince Charmless" pun is made early and often), heir to the throne of Argonia, is fat, lazy, spoiled, and dishonest, despite his father King Clavius' attempts to encourage, prod, or shame him into making something of himself. In the post-game content it comes out that, the Hero is a Hidden Backup Prince, the son of Clavius' older brother, and therefore has a better claim to Argonia's throne than either Charmles OR Clavius. The Golden Ending has Clavius denounce his own son as the fraud he is (he cheated his way through his Rite of Passage) and instead backs the Hero.

As Theo's son, Sammy is the logical inheritor of the crime syndicate, but neither Theo nor Robert Quarles has a high opinion of him. Quarles was himself considered a potential heir to Tonin's criminal empire but his psychotic nature caused him to become too much of a liability and he was exiled from Detroit. He tries to regain favor with Theo by turning Kentucky into a major source of illegal prescription drugs but his plans are foiled and Theo ends up putting a reward on his head. In season 5 Sammy becomes acting don and it takes him only four months to wreck the criminal empire his father has built. In season 2 Mags Bennett and her oldest son Doyle are planning to go legit and it is made clear that only Doyle and his family will get the money from a crooked land deal. She disinherits her other son Dickie but gives him her marijuana business as consolation. However, she explicitly gives control over all her other criminal enterprises to Boyd Crowder. Later, when she finds out that Dickie has been arrested and Doyle killed, she chooses to kill herself rather than try to help Dickie. In season 3 when Dickie gets out of jail he goes looking for a stash of money that his mother left behind. Turns out that she gave all the money to Loretta, a girl whose father she murdered and she herself saw as the daughter she never had, rather than let Dickie have it. Before the start of the series, everyone assumed that Bo Crowder's son Bowman would take over his father's criminal enterprises. Then Bowman is killed and Bo looks to his other son Boyd for help in controlling crime in Harlan County. However, Boyd is going through a weird Heelâ€“Faith Turn so instead Bo turns to his nephew Johnny Crowder. This is short lived and when Bo starts favouring Boyd again, Johnny betrays Bo and partners up with Boyd to take down Bo's meth business. When this blows up in Johnny's face, Bo decides to clean house and exiles Boyd and tries to kill Johnny. Bo is then killed and Boyd ends up taking over anyway, much to Johnny's resentment.

Eames suggests using this to implant the idea that he wants to terminate the family business to get back at his father. But Dom points out that they have a much better chance at making him believe that his father regretted being such a poor example as a greedy and unethical businessman and wishing that his son doesn't become like him, and that this would motivate Fischer to break the trillion dollar monopoly the company has. Convincing him that his father was a good man deep inside and hoped his son to be a better man than he was is something Fischer would much prefer to believe than seeing his father as an evil man who despised him. It also has the benefit of giving the protagonists a goal which doesn't put them over the Moral Event Horizon. Who would want to root for a team of crooks whose goal was to drive a man to hate his father so much that he destroyed his inheritance? It's much more sympathetic to try and achieve their objective by giving him a positive relationship.

Inadequate Inheritor / int_fda9c8b	comment	Drives most of the plot of Downton Abbey. On the death of his heir, on the Titanic, the Earl of Grantham's estate is all set to pass to...a solicitor. Gasp. Of course, the real issue is that Grantham would much rather leave his estate to one of his actual children (but can't, because they're all girls) than to a distant relative he's never met, who could potentially throw his daughters out onto the streets with nothing when the time comes.
