jesse armstrong missed a huge opportunity by not introducing superpowers, is he stupid?SERIOUS DISCUSSION (self.okbuddysuccession)

submitted by Cool-Departure-5498soyboy greg

i liked succession but i feel like it could have been better. in the marvel movies, the most successful trilogy of our time, the characters are more likable because of their powers. this subliminally makes the viewer want to root for the good guys. i didn’t want to root for any of the characters in the show because they just argued with each other and did not fight for humanity. i didn’t even feel like they were good people.

Squiggle is actually the one with superpowers.

Kidney punch!!!

I think it was subtle. When Kendall screamed “it’s kendling time” I thought Jesse was implying that he was secretly Jared Leto

Gah that made me think of that one scene in The Boys

[–]bananakin611 24 points25 points  (1 child)

That idea makes sense dramaturgically. I think adding CGI in the fight scenes would be a great addition as well!

I appreciated the practical effects, but you could totally see the seams on the robot bird costumes during the final boardroom battle.

Were we even watching the same show? It was clear when Ken told Greg to set course for Planet Mustafar, warp 7, that he was going to search for Logan. Even though Logan betrayed Ken to the Romulans, Ken still sees the good in him. The show is clearly about fighting for the good in humanity.

"From my point of view the Matsson deal is evil."

"You were supposed to bring balance to the Board, Kendall!"

[–]CanadianContentsup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Like the Airplane Doctor should have had flying speed. He could have revived Logan, got the phone out of the shitter and cleaned it with his cleansing X-ray vision. First thing- who’s your Successor now, tough guy? The brat who won’t fulfill commands, or the brats who want more money for your company?

Why wasn't morbius the CEO of waystar smh

[–]Mikimao 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After Kendall lost the vote he should have laser eyed Frank, ala Homelander...

It's makes sense, dramaturgically

[–]iCouldCareLessBruh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn’t you hear? Roman was so upset that he didn’t become CEO that he became a mad scientist and accidentally made a special potion that turned him into Homelander

You heard that right. Roman is Homelander

ur forgetting the straight to dvd movie coming where kendall uses the speed force to go back in time stop mattson only to find out hes actually a wagie and logan roy isnt a billionare. he teams up with Tom to buy waystar and defeat mattson who jacked him off at super speed to make it seem like he nuts at just a womans touch.

Final boss battle between Tom and Greg in that bathroom (ends with sex scene)

[–]Purple_Brilliant_824 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel at their heart they would good people. We saw glimpses of that with Shiv (especially when she got pregnant), Kendal when he is dancing with his children, Roman (when he runs to mom), Colin (he us good but spoiled). They are a product of their upbringing. They can’t help how they are
