Stephen King Fights Succession Fandom In A Dirty Tweet Battle
That's the level of the enemy even Roys themselves wouldn't wish to have.
If anything good has come out of Succession, it is an army of very dedicated fans who are willing to tear to shreds anyone who trashes their favorites.
Though sometimes too extreme, the fandom also produces an insane amount of edits, theories, and fiction to entertain themselves and others when the show ends.
What no one usually wants to do is step into the middle of the very sensitive and heartbroken fan base and make things worse. Stephen King, however, didn't seem to care, just like he didn't care about the ending of the iconic HBO series.
The author slammed both Succession and The New York Times, which covered the finale in their article.
"NYTimes headline: SUCCESSION is over. Why did we care? Here's a newsflash for you: A lot of us didn't," tweeted the author.
You can imagine how quick the fandom was with all the possible comebacks you can imagine.
While some were trying to come up with their own snarky comment on King's tweet, others were happy to imagine how the characters themselves would respond to such a tweet.
Fortunately, neither Roman nor any of the other Roy siblings have real-life Twitter accounts, because the scandal would surely be massive.
Despite Stephen King's apparent lack of interest in television, many remember his recent tweet about getting an early screening of The Flash and praising it online.
Though the movie has yet to be released to the general public, Succession fans find it hard to believe that their favorite show is losing out to another superhero movie.
That is why many of them ask King to speak up only on the things he actually liked, or not speak up on anything at all.
To protect their favorites, some fans are not afraid to get personal and call out some of the strangest moments in Stephen King's books.
The orgy in 1986's It is probably the most talked about and creepiest of them all, which makes Succession fans wonder if they should pay attention to King's criticism at all.
After all, the show clearly doesn't fit into his area of interest. The same goes for the topic of incest, which the show did not explore as well.
Perhaps, the horror author would enjoy another HBO hit, House of The Dragon, a little bit more than this one. Or maybe The White Lotus?
Or maybe just let everyone enjoy their favorite shows in peace?
