Logan was pissed at Shiv so he hit Roman. That’s pretty much the clearest view into there childhood u can get.

@Joellebee_ 3 ай бұрын

I believe it’s been analyzed that the siblings are meant to represent the F trauma responses. Connor(Flight), Kendall (Fight), Shiv(Freeze), Roman(Fawn). Although they all can sometimes exhibit all of these at different times it seems the assigned ones of each of these is the most dominant in the characterization. And yes, Roman was most definitely abused in childhood.

I think Ken’s reaction to Logan hitting Roman is a very big sign that this isn’t the first time it’s happened. There have been a lot of signs in the show so far that Roman is Logan’s punching bag. Even in the first episode of season 2, Shiv says something about Logan beating Rome for ordering lobster when they were kids while Kendall always gets off easy.

Did you not watch the fourth season? He's not a nepo baby but he didn't grow up dirt poor, he grew up with his aunt and uncle who "well, they had a little money" and Logan inherited his uncle's business which he turned into Waystar. Yes he knows what it takes to build a business into an empire, unlike his kids and yes he's way more grounded but by no means does he have a rags to riches story

@@ArthurKnight1899 Yeah, his uncle was a swell guy who did everything to help Logan! He even "massaged" his back 😂 Mickey implied he's a nepobaby by saying he's nothing without his wealth and he definitely isn't in any way. Logan worked himself to the top in the media industry by being smart, brutal and cold just like Murdoch did after he left Australia for England and then the US. He's a terrible but complex man and it's fine to hate him but it's disingenuous to imply he got it all delivered on a silver platter. It all came from his intelligence, lack of empathy, luck etc and not because his uncle gave him a job when he was a teen in Canada lol. That's ridiculous..

@@BK-ob3lo yeah that's pretty much what I was referring to, it kinda annoyed me tbh. He clearly hasn't paid attention or doesn't understand the show at all if that's how he views Logan. His children are the definition of nepo babies / nothing without wealth but Logan is the oppsite, he came from nothing and only achieved what he did by using his intellect. I think Mickey can't accept that a terrible person he despises actually is intellegent, I despise Logan too but he's extremely smart (and brutal), it just feels kinda virtue signal-ish?

Thats because it wasn't written into the show... they just retconned it. And not even really, an HBO character page mistakenly (at that point) described Shiv as the youngest but it was literally never decided in the writers room. Jesse Armstrong then kind of half-heartedly agreed in an interview because Kieran Culkin is older than Sarah Snook.

Logan is pissed that his age, health and temper are not allowing him to be a fully functional ceo. It triggers him to see that his kids could replace him and they might actually do a good job saving the company and taking it further. A sane father would put the kids in place in key positions and not make them compete like this. I'd put Ken as ceo, Shiv in pr and Roman in finances. Yes it's nepotism, but they are actually decent at their jobs and when they actually work together they accomplish things. The dinosaur comment worked in this situation, but logan's ego can't handle other people seeing potential in his kids who are fixing his mistakes now, in his twisted mind they make him look bad when he actually should be proud.

It was last episode where he just went on a tangent and started soapboxing for no reason.

When he pretty much exclusively talks about politics and not the other amazingly written/acted emotional aspects of the show it tends to feel quite preachy.

We do good works out of love for what Jesus has done for us because out of love he died for our sins We don't do good works out of fear because we fear we might not get to heaven or out of fear we aren't saved.
