Yeah, Mike should have left Axe alone. Axe was already asleep and didn't want any conflicts and competitions. Mike went all by himself to another continent to wake a monster, a monster whose wounds had healed and just wanted to live the rest of his life in exile. He went and kindled the fire and rage in its heart and a raging bloodthirst. He got what was coming for him.
True. Despite losing all Axe never lost himself. He remained who he was and doubled his worth by remaining in exile but Prince forgot that he is a beast too hence this outcome.
Also Andy. He was clearly in love and wanted her back.. she basically had a foot out the door & was close only in moments of triumph. At the end, Axe got to his Achilles heel and gutted his move on Wendy.
@@anubhavnigam2483 That, too. Prince wasn't willing to cut any ties to win, he always wanted at least one person on his side. Axe obviously wanted people with him, especially Wendy, but he wasn't above screwing them over if needed.
@@anubhavnigam2483 I dunno if he loved her or loved having wife and kids all together again but not enough to make a her a priority and she always knew that about him and chose to do her own thing
Law 15 - Crush your enemy totally. Mike failed to do this by giving Bobby 2 billion. And Bobby wipes out Mike's entire portfolio giving him no chance to recover and get back to him. (From 48 Laws of Power)
For some reason, I liked Prince's character more, Axe was more impulsive, the storyline (more like the writers) just helped him seem more badass and more of a clairvoyant and shit but for me, Prince was better.
@@justin783 A person who has never had anything to do with the stock market or business in his life will not understand this series (Just like you). I watched good movies about the stock market when your parents didn't have you in their plans yet son...
@Sic350 First of all, I actually worked in finance. Second of all, if you're really someone who understands the stock market or "business" and who has watched good movies, you should NOT think this is a good series. This is not even close. Calling me son when you're profile picture is from DBZ and who's channel is all about video games is wildly ironic LOL.
Mike and Grigor were the best villains! Mike was truly formidable and managed to gut axe the most. Hubris got the better of him ultimately and he failed to see the Stauffenbergs lining up to shoot him down. I kinda want a follow up series on the retribution of Michael Prince.
The Lion doesn't pretend to be anything else but a Lion and he knows what a monster he is. There was only one Lion in that battle, the other was a honey badger, a big one though, powerful, stubborn and very delusional one.
@@ridwanomar5351agreed and with that said, Billions, for a show with no action is superbly written and executed but The Wire is the best show for me personally
Honestly, it's been the same thing since the bronze age. Wealthy people with power always competed with each other. From the Roman elite, to Fuedal Lords, to mob bosses, to titans of industry. It's all about being on top, by any means necessary.
The most dangerous enemy is the one who can convince the masses they are a sheep when they are clearly a wolf. The most advantageous ally is the wolf who knows they are and never ceases to howl.
Despite losing all Axe never lost himself. He remained who he was and doubled his worth by remaining in exile but Prince forgot that he is a beast too hence this outcome.
They don't release enough tv business tv shows, and a lot of them have become wildly successful. Billions, Suits, Mad Men, Shark Tank etc. Mainly because the busoness minded community has mostly been overlooked.
This show got so ass with the “let me tell you in the words of…” bs…. Seasons like 1-3 were good Last couple seasons sucked… prince sucks… and the dialogue and acting got so bad it’s painful to watch. Oh god then the 10min climax ending of the show? Smdh Epic quality failure
Propaganda. They also are so deluded that they think that a country where they've taken away reproductive rights for women, where you can't walk down the road with an open bottle of beer in your hand, or cross the road without doing it at a traffic signal is "the freeest country in the world"
@@ykx777he won't answer you, everything is woke to him. He probably doesn't even know what woke mean😂 anyway, that line was actually genius because that's Prince's whole schtick. He is the politically correct wholesome billionaire who's not at all a sociopath. He cares about looking good but deep down he's just as ruthless as Axe. That's why he said that. And also it's hypocritical since he's also "white and male"
There are no good guys. They are all villains that replace each other. This is game theory. The difference with Mike is the rest of them know they are monsters prepared to do whatever to achieve their goals, whereas Mike doesn’t see his flaws and believes he is above all, morally and intellectually but he’s really not. Kind of a dangerous person to have in charge of one of the most powerful nations. Honestly if you can, watch the show from start to finish, it’s so well written and executed by all involved
@@ykx777Axe is totally a villain, he knows it he’s admitted it and he accepts its who he is. Remember Donny? Remember how when he was dying of cancer, behind the scenes the doctor told Axe that he could extend his life a couple months and Donny would make it to his final christmas? Instead, Axe manipulated the doctor into not telling Donny that and he manipulated Donny with money to his family. He then used the rest of Donnys lifespan to lead Chucks team into a wild goose chase to weaken the case against him. A key witness to testify against Axe Capitals shady practices died under the care of the police, and it’s exactly what Axe wanted no matter the remorse behind it. He was in bed with the Russian mafia for a while. He has Hall, a guy that will sweep anything under the rug for Axe no matter how it’s done. Hell if you’re not sure about all that, the show made it clear that Axe will use anyone and anything to save himself and his company from going under. Axe is an admirable fella, but he’s a straight up villain bro. And like Axe said in this video, ya gotta be a monster to have made it that far in the first place
@@reginaldbutcha4844 None of those things are evil. Serving yourself is not villainy. Donny was dying anyway. It is ethically questionable to use that to your advantage but far from "evil"
He has a good point about how squaring away your enemies list is a great way to remind your enemies they're still your enemies.
I know this very well.
How has no one ever thought to cast Corey Stoll as Lex Luthor? Mike Prince is the perfect template
He may yet be in the new movies?
The producers might have seen him as MODOK😂
Prince was a monster pretending to be a knight, Axe was a monster. That’s why he won
Facts!
Yeah, he was trying to get away from his true self and it bit him.
He won because the writer wrote that story 😂
Fucking Facts!
Prince won but the show made Axe win in the end. It’s got nothing to do with being a monster or a knight 😂😂

He thought axe was behind it all
True. Despite losing all Axe never lost himself. He remained who he was and doubled his worth by remaining in exile but Prince forgot that he is a beast too hence this outcome.
Prince lost because he cared too much about appearing as the good guy when winning. Axel was focused on winning, no matter how he looked doing it.
Also Andy. He was clearly in love and wanted her back.. she basically had a foot out the door & was close only in moments of triumph. At the end, Axe got to his Achilles heel and gutted his move on Wendy.
Well said bob

He wasn't married to Wendy @pharma2546
Prince was so smug he almost deserved to be put down. At least Axe was not pretending to be a savior. Per his own words; " I am a monster "
Almost?
Great recap... kindly keep uploading interesting recaps from the show, specially of main characters and most intense moments... thank you
"best healthcare in the world" is a pretty wild statement.
It's true. It also happens to be the most unaffordable.
May not be affordable, but it's the best.
this aged poorly...
@@christianwalter997 like fine wine
It's actually nearly dead last in developed nations in terms of quality of outcome... so definitely not even remotely close to the best.

I like that unanimous "nope". He wasnt a double crosser, but he's not going down with the ship.

Mike Prince was Never a Villain, it’s was Axe & Chuck all along
Where can i find the track which plays in the ending ?
I cant find it.
26:35 Honourable & walked away with his head high “BEAST”
When do we get the spinoffs? Billions London or Miami? Get Axe again, make some money for your production.
My man gave it all trying to get that Lex Luthor gig through this show.
The Lion doesn't pretend to be anything else but a Lion and he knows what a monster he is. There was only one Lion in that battle, the other was a honey badger, a big one though, powerful, stubborn and very delusional one.
These guys fought the hell out of their balls
Sure looks like it!
He was a formidable opponent.
No TV series today Beats BILLIONS
The wire
@@ridwanomar5351agreed and with that said, Billions, for a show with no action is superbly written and executed but The Wire is the best show for me personally
succession
Industry
House MD but like them both just as much
Great vid, thanks for posting it!
But why do I want Prince to make a come back? Like his exit was badass.
What is that music in the background when Governor Dunlop is talking?! I love it
The Nope from everyone is hilarious.
24:55
WE NEED BILLIONS BACK❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
Rich people are weird.
Yes we are. When you say rich, what do you mean by that? Money?

It's about domination!
Not gonna lie his 2nd act would be crazy that’s one guy u would have to put down
Axe looks like a grown up Malcolm in the Middle.
There's something Axe does and no one can. This is a monster
The most dangerous enemy is the one who can convince the masses they are a sheep when they are clearly a wolf.
The most advantageous ally is the wolf who knows they are and never ceases to howl.
26:45 that speech is not gonna help bobby sleep
What’s the track playing at 24:51
Sounds so good
Bobby nailed it
Despite losing all Axe never lost himself. He remained who he was and doubled his worth by remaining in exile but Prince forgot that he is a beast too hence this outcome.
Epic metallica shirt
That derek stand off was the highlight of last season in my opinion!!!
Reggie is absolute class 👌🏻
They don't release enough tv business tv shows, and a lot of them have become wildly successful. Billions, Suits, Mad Men, Shark Tank etc.

Not doing, Mike, DONE! ❤
If that quote doesn’t scream “I am the one in control” I don’t know what is
Johnny sins...is that you?
20:59 Prince & his team were far superior
Mike Beats Axe
Sacker Beats Chuck
Scooter Beats Wags
The others are a draw
Is that Tek Knight??
Were to get billions ?
Paramount+
17:15 is that Vic from Penguin?
These adults speak like teenagers
Prince screwed up when he threatened Wendy.
It took all them to take down Mike? That says more about Prince, than them...
Yeah axe character always wins, big woop
Whys Russo trying to sound like Frank
This show got so ass with the “let me tell you in the words of…” bs….
Seasons like 1-3 were good
Last couple seasons sucked… prince sucks… and the dialogue and acting got so bad it’s painful to watch.

Why do America think they have the best healthcare , infrastructure in the world 🤣

His name is darren and he is not a dick!!
i mean......that guy allegedly got 10k of javelin misilles to ukraine are you sure 6-10 arent.....
This story is loosely based on Steve cohen… spinoffs?…..

That boardroom was a DEI initiative
Prince Lost because... Axe Win because... Guys the script made It that is f u c k1ng show 🤷
There is no "best of" between these two. In fact, prince ruined the show

Prince was a bit too plain of a character and his acting was a bit lacking compared to axe and rhoades. Still good just not as good.
Corey Stoll is a brilliant actor Damien Lewis is just a crown jewel
Does wags ever actually do anything?
prince was a congressman
