Classic Kendall.

Lol as if his dad wasn't also new money

@@pasajerodelabrujula8261 I mean, isn't he supposed to be some kind of self-made man? And I remember there being a lot of unspoken tension between the Roys and the Pierces due to the nature of their respective fortunes.

⁠@@pasajerodelabrujula8261nope

@@yggdrasil2 Exactly. The Pierce's are old money, and that is why Nan can walk away from Logan's bid on her company. She will always have money. Logan struggled his entire life to get where he is, and he resents the old money people who never had to get their hands dirty and looked down on him for growing up poor. For Kendall to act like they are not new money is so delusional when his wealth only goes back one generation.

It’s not *bullshit*. But it’s kind of… bullshit?

@@LloydWaldo Just tells the kind of crazy these high level Business Types are.

Loved that line. He was kind of careful with the words and with the phrasing, but he basically told that they inflated the number at least ×200% 🤦‍♂️

It’s genuinely hilarious how she screwed herself over for no reason

@@idont448 she a fool for that fr

I hadn't even noticed her expressions at first, it's so subtle, but brilliant nonetheless.

how tf are your 4 comments on top

​@@MRHEY 😂😂😂 No idea

dont you think thats a little homophobic?

@@berserk4souls your cute little numbers came out as gay

@@berserk4souls He just means the numbers aren't straight. Of course, he said it in a roundabout way for shock's sake. lol

@@uscitizen3252 …I’m just quoting Kendall’s response

@@berserk4souls oh lol true!

Yeah and then that guy got paid a million dollars

Your honor my client was drunk when he did that

@@verpen8108he never got paid. He was just offered it. They didn't end up using him. Ironically offered by Roman who also offered the kid a million dollars if he hit a home run then rubbed it in his face when he almost did it but failed to in episode 1. Luckily Logan gave the kid an expensive watch but also made his family sign an NDA. They're all awful people but sure go ahead and die on that hill defending them.

@@Koi_World okay, Romulus offered him a million dollars in exchange for photos of Kendall's initials tattooed on the hobos forehead. We didn't get a definitive scene with the transaction happening but I assume that the former hobo didn't give them the photos before receiving his payment.

wasn't that Roman who wanted Kendal's initials tattooed

Because Alexander Skarsgard is a gigantic real-life Viking

Any scene between Greg and Kendall is equally hilarious. There's like a foot difference in their heights so the angles always look comedic and weird

@@BatmanHQYT It was weird how Nicholas Braun still dwarfed him

​@@BatmanHQYTFun fact, Nicholas Braun (Greg) is 6'7" and is taller than Alexander Skarsgard who is 6'4"

Agree with everything EXCEPT that he slipped up. Mattson's like everyone on this show, rich, damaged, emotionally immature, smart but not nearly as smart as he thinks he is. I think Mattson told Shiv about the blood because he genuinely wanted someone he could confide in. He also picked up, early on in Norway, that Shiv was being shut out by her brothers, so he confided in her to get him more on his side. It's a twisted form of endearment, rather like Roman sending dick pics to Gerri, or for that matter Mattson sending blood to Ebba.

I bet the people saying this is a ruse are the same type of people that think all billionaires are master strategists and cannot do dumb things therefore a show with dumb billionaires looks "unrealistic" to them.

@@hughjass8807 agree w/ this completely

@@PrestigeLearning agree w/ this too

@@hughjass8807conspiracy theorists in a nutshell

The writer of THE SOCIAL NETWORK?? I think his background is what influences his writing … so he may not have the same finesse when it comes to writing upper class characters …….You can see that anytime the twins in social network talk … quick , dumped down and short

He actually called himself a “Succession evangelist” in an interview so he is a fan for sure.

😂

Absolutely. He’s going to bury the brothers

The plan was already to bury the brothers in the deal, so why would they need add this "fake numbers actually no they're real" bit?

yeah I was surprised at how many people just accepted what was obviously a staged public argument

He's a prick it's not surprising.

The actor may speak perfect English but he was born Swedish. Mattson's accent and weird speech patterns are almost certainly based on people in Alexander Skarsgård's own life

None of them talk in complete sentences. Which is why it doesn't feel like scripted dialogue and feels more real. This is how cornered, angry, sad and under stress ppl speak.

@@PrestigeLearning, no, thats just his real accent.

@@spanishflea634 Heard his post-show interview, you're right. But he does American so well!

If you watch True Blood, he nailed that Southern Accent but for this show, Alex is using his original accent, Swedish accent to sound more natural

is it really tho??

Star Wars

nah

Nah, I don’t think it is cuz matsson seemed genuinely frightened by the numbers. He’s using Waystar as a scapegoat

Cuz they are fucking idiots

I think it was to convey one of the reasons, Matteson was so interested in acquiring Way Star, by becoming so big that the India thing would become much less relevant. This is me spitballing, I really don't know what the point was.

Not really, there is a point to all of this. You see, Mattson is basically a fraud and can't technically afford Waystar and ATN. His hope is to buy it to drown out the noise of his fraud and eventually sell the business for parts to recuperate his investment while legitimizing his wealth. Gojo was always going to tank when people found out it was fake, so Mattson needed a way to scam himself into actual wealth. At the end of the story, we think he's successful because he wins in the moment and achieves his plan. However, he actually cucks himself because he just ended up playing a $192 a share (33% premium above what he was originally going to pay) on an already overvalued company that he can't afford. Mattson is never recuperating his investment and he isn't the business mogul (like logan) that is capable of making Waystar + ATN appreciate in value. So he's basically fucked. The point of all these scenes is to inform the watcher that Mattson ends up losing too, because he too is not a serious person. He like Kendal, Roman and Shiv are too emotional. It fits in with the whole theme of the show. Everyone ends up losing. Succession as a story is a tragedy because nobody technically wins.

Also advanced the plot of Shiv being pushy on the India tactics which was a factor in Matson souring on her

@@kylesteiner50 that's a good take, man theses writers knew what they were doing

It is actually a very important plot point...just in a very indirect way.

It is. He knows how to lead these two down a primrose path

Ok, if this was all a ruse, to what end? The deal would still go through and the plan still being to cut Kendall and Roman out would remain, so why would this convoluted plan need to happen anyway?

@@J____L first to gain shivs trust so she would him help along the way , And also to make Kendall make mistake based on false info which his doing by trying to blow the deal

@@erm12341 too much stress…you’re overthinking it

The India numbers conflict was probably real. The reason it was included was so Shiv could speak up about it, making Lukas realize she isn't the yes man he was looking for and choose Tom as CEO instead.

Says the tiny PP “man” who can’t even get a woman to look in his direction. I get it! Life is hard for your kind. Here’s hoping it gets better and you become better. ❤
