Good guys winning because the bad guys are incompetent, or idiots, or mustache twirlers, or punching bags or just there for the good guys to run over at whim isn't any fun. If that's the quality of the bad guy, the good guy win in the end isn't worth anything at all.
Then again, GoT - as you say, who are the good guys and who are the bad guys?
