Succession Promotes New Season By… Roasting Its Own Characters
So here we are, less than a month away from the fourth and final season of Succession.
And while we find ourselves in bitter yet thrilling anticipation to see how the Roy family epic will end, the promo is in full swing, inviting fans to reminisce and poke fun at the characters.
Following the release of the final trailer, the official Succession Twitter account has been posting short clips roasting the main characters. It's a good way to get reacquainted with characters we've grown to love.
With a touch of irony, of course. No matter how dramatic the plot twists and turns, it's still satire. First on the list was none other than family head and founder of media conglomerate Waystar RoyCo, Logan Roy.
For 2 minutes and 17 seconds straight, the other characters (mostly members of his family) confess their hatred for him, call him an evil beast and express their displeasure with his presence.
"I'm just a lovely guy", as the clip ends with Logan's line. Nice attitude, Logan, this is the way to go!
The next edit is dedicated to "daddy's boy" Kendall.
"He clearly has mental health issues and crazy guilt, coupled with addiction", concludes a flashback to the misfortunes of Logan's eldest son from his second marriage.
The post got the most likes, while followers were sympathetic and compassionate toward Ken. But it seems that not all fans are excited about the potential roasting of their favorite characters:
"Are you gonna do this with all characters?? Don't you dare do it with Shiv she gets way too much hate, so don't set up my girl!", Twitter user shivmcavoy pleads for mercy for Shiv.
The last clip so far turned out to be a roasting of Connor Roy, Logan's son from his first marriage and the oldest of all four siblings.
The idle son of a rich father, who decided to start a presidential campaign (with Trump-level argumentation skills), ends the clip with his own words, "I am the eldest son". Yes, Connor, you are indeed the eldest son!
"Connor Roy was interested in politics from a very young age", @WolfyWobz remembers perhaps Connor's best line. Don't forget, lads!
We have yet to find out who will be made fun of next time. In the meantime, the first episode of Succession season 4 will air on HBO on March 26.
