It’s not so much that I don’t like him, even though there are parts of his character I dislike. It’s just that the plot seems to be heading the direction of him permanently dying, and I feel like there’s little else the writers can do with him specifically. He distanced himself from his father, was able to complete a prophecy, truly separated himself from his father, and met and successfully stopped his overly ambitious brother, got the power he was aiming for honestly and became an honest leader in return, had some relationship issues but patched them up, and ended up having a loving family and children, and is now dealing with someone that has a grudge against him that may or may not turn out well. Once said grudge is over and done with, I feel there’s not that much more that can be done with his character. So it would be a perfect time to kill him off.
As were who would replace him, I’m secretly hoping Bristlefrost would. I know she was forced into the deputy position before, and hated it, and was relieved when she was able to step down, but I think it would be interesting if she got the position on her own terms and it was something she at least partially wanted. I feel like it’s been along time since we’ve had a young and slightly underconfident cat as leader Anywhere (not since Firestar, I believe). So it would be interesting to see that narrative again. Of course, it would either take at least a little bit of time (since she has not had an apprentice), or the rules would need to be bent, but I would still find it interesting.
What do you think?

That’s the other thing as well. When he became a leader, he was almost as old as Tallstar when the latter died (around 10 years old), So there’s not much longer he can realistically live. Of course, the authors and editors often forget about character ages, so that might not matter as much. But still, he was an apprentice at the end of the first series, so he’s lived for a very long time. Plus I feel like the others have done a good job wrapping up his personal character arcs. I feel like the old grudge s one last thing to resolve before he’s gone forever.

I love Bramblestar, and he's a pretty good cat and leader, but personally at the end of this arc, I hope he doesn't get his body back. It'd make this arc have a consequence, and I doubt if he ever got his body back, it wouldn't be the same considering a lot of cats will likely associate the acts the impostor committed with Bramblestar, even though Bramblestar's completely innocent of them. I hope he's able to go to StarClan after all is said and done.
That being said, it seems they're trying to make way for Bristlefrost to become leader, or at the very least deputy. Although she got the position, she was extremely inexperienced as a warrior and didn't feel worthy of it, I think after some time, she could become a competent deputy and eventually leader. Mind you, Bristlefrost stills needs an apprentice to actually qualify, so there's still time for her to learn and become deputy later in the arc.

Very much so. I never liked him as a character and his Leadership has been really bland to where I wouldn't miss him.
Also gib consequences to Thunderclan for once, real ones.

I like him but yeah, him and Squirrelflight both need to kick the bucket. They've been main characters for far too long now.

i just hope everyone from TNP dies because they're overstayed their welcome, especially squirrelflight.
i just dont want the writers to have their bias for TNP cats anymore.
i also hope bramblestar's body rots before he can return to it. i want him to accept his death after helping from behind the scenes as a spirit. that should be good enough for him.

It's not that I don't like Bramblestar I just don't want another leader as old as Mistystar. I think it is time for him to go and Squirrleflight to become an elder. As for the next leader I would want a cat who has not had a lot of time in the spot light. I am not really a fan of Bristlestar. It would be nice to see someone who is not related to Firestar to be in power.

Yes - he's been around since the first series, and he's had quite the eventful run (seriously, he's been involved in the drama with every arc since then), it's time for him to go. Plus, this would make for a much more satisfying conclusion to his character than, say, Firestar's death.
And considering there are no kits around in ThunderClan to even become apprentices - unless Spotfur and Stemleaf end up with a batch that grows up quick - I can't imagine Bristlefrost becoming leader, or even deputy, right after Bramblestar. After all this excitement, and after her mate's death, I think Squirrelflight's just going to retire. Personally, I'm excited for the reign of Berrystar.

Didn't Berrynose just die?

I just really want Ivystar. Ivystar is the leader that will make ThunderClan interesting, and it would make the balance favor she-cats, something I don't think we've seen.

Listen, I don't want any leader to go before Mistystar.
I mean, he can die. Just...take Mistystar with him.

Bramblestar (and Mistystar, and Leafstar) should go, and Squirrelflight should retire. I'm cool with Lionstar, Spotstar, Twigstar, maybe Sparkstar, not Ivystar. Not sure if I vibe with Bristlestar as much but it might work. Stemleaf would've been a good leader.

That’s another thing I’m wondering. I wonder what would happen if they were just aren’t enough apprentices to give to competent enough warriors to become deputy, so a warrior is appointed that has not had an apprentice. There would’ve been this with TC and Bramblestar had Daisy not come along. Leafpool had her sign, but even if she hadn’t, there were other warriors wanting Bramblestar to be deputy. Technically I know he didn’t have an apprentice before he became deputy, but it was clear he wanted to mentor Berrykit, and so little time passed between all that that it’s almost a non-factor. Part of me wonders what would’ve happened if Bristlefrost had been willing to be deputy and good at it, while secretly conspiring against the imposter, allowing her to keep the position in the end. It would’ve been interesting, because she would have some experience leading despite not having an apprentice. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case, but she may get the position again.
