Logan using the line “everything I’ve done, I’ve done for my children” to get through family therapy is the same energy as connor saying “Connor roy was interested in politics from a very young age” to evade his dads biographer 😂
His kids have been sponging off him as grown adults. In what way is not a good father? He created a path they could take where they would never have to worry about work or money, if they chose.
@@marcuslong9761Here's the thing: Humans need parental figures, it's an innate need. So when Logan was absent and abusive the kids' only way of feeling close to him was to become more like him so he would notice them.
@@marcuslong9761 I still wouldn't say he's a good dad but at face value, he "seems" to be right. His kids are entitled and they should make "their own pile." But he actually stops them every time they tried to. Shiv tried to do her own thing in politics and Logan leads her on, saying she's "the smartest of them all" and trying to get her to take over, but never following through. Kendall was set to take over from the start and Logan kept leading him on. I think Logan was never gonna be happy with any of them truly making their own way, because it would mean he lost control over them, but he also wouldn't accept any of them taking over the company.
That line summed up his entire identity. It was not only chilling but brutal in it’s simplicity. I still think about it when I think about Succession. It sums up the entire show for me.
Never noticed that when Logan says to Tom “or are you shooting blanks”, the camera switches to show Kendall sitting, head bowed, next to Tom. After the final episode, that scene hits different and sheds even more light on the emotional abuse that Logan used to control Kendall
It's also a foreshadowing right from the pilot episode when Tom used a sneak tactic on baseball game and not let the kid win his homerun. Tom is always taking any opportunites every time the siblings messed up. Also, in intro of Season 1, you noticed that younger Logan kinda look like Tom so it has foreshadowed from the beginning that Tom is destined to be the winner.
Honestly, one of the best characters ever written. Logan is an extremely complicated character, because as Brian Cox said Logan's only weakness ever was his love of his children. He spoiled them, and always wanted them to excel like him, but due to how he spoiled them they lacked the capabilities to do anything for themselves and stand on their own two feet. It's sad that his final moments with them is when he told them that he missed them at his birthday party, and how without him they are stumbling mess, being pulled in all kinds of directions.
Not only did he spoil them, he also abused and manipulated them on a regular basis. He definitely loved his kids, but he inherited his uncle's abusive tendencies unfortunately.
@@jkta97 I think he honestly believed that his uncle’s toughness towards him made him so driven, disciplined and eventually successful. He gave his kids everything he didn’t have growing up, and acted like his uncle did to toughen them up and make them successful like him.
He abused and manipulated his children and threw them under the bus when it was necessary for his interests. I believe he “loved” them in his own way maybe but that is not real love.
@@librocubicularist3322 Agreed, it was definitely not healthy or sustainable, and clearly, he produced very damaged kids. The tragedy of succession is that while the sins of the father might not be passed down to his son, the trauma definitely can be
a lot of his hatred is self-hate. that is a subtle cut. he spoiled his kids, hoping they would be better than him - more driven to do more because he provided more. as time passed, he realised he shot his own ambitions in his foot because his success crippled his empire due to him making his kids brats. as much as the title implies succession is about the physical empire, it's more about logan trying to pass his fire down to claw and scratch, only to see that spiritual empire fall
I can really relate to the fear and the need for approval that he instills in his children. He is a total monster but one warm fatherly gesture from him and I myself would be ready to forgive him for anything 😮
I loved this video. Here is a quote that I would have included: “Im 100 feet tall. These people are pygmies”. It totally fits the narrative you presented here: Logan is arrogant, vile, and successful.
Logan Roy is without doubt one of the best tv characters ever created-but all thanks to Brian Cox's delivery.He IS the show. Series 4 fell amazingly flat for me as he isn't in it for most of it. It was like getting a The Office series 3... but without David Brent-an over extended epiloguge basically just to show you what happens in the end.
I've seen parents act horrible to their kids as a twisted way of showing care and affection. I gotta say though, this is one of the most sickening yet well-acted examples I've ever seen.
Someone needs to make an edit of gigachad Logan ie when Logan fails to do 'I went to market' but then does it perfectly later Or when Marcia prepares fish for Logan and Kendall when she is out the day before the vote of no confidence, but Logan just gets them burgers Or when Shiv says "Dad can't swim" at family therapy and then Logan goes swimming after they've all left
Karolina’s “because you are a good dad” before a string of abuse from Logan is top tier editing
😂😂😂
I find her "we've always pushed that you are a good dad" to be a gem of passive aggressiveness.
That "huh" moment is the iconic (!) one.

"You are not serious people."
That is the prefect and precise summation of his kids 😂
Just like you Ryan, a joke
Exactly
to give him a little credit, he did preface it by saying he loved them
and the perfect end for last season
Why? They are serious people. This is ironic?
Logan using the line “everything I’ve done, I’ve done for my children” to get through family therapy is the same energy as connor saying “Connor roy was interested in politics from a very young age” to evade his dads biographer 😂

hes right tho

TV's most ruthless parent since Tywin Lannister and Livia Soprano
Vernon Schillinger is way worse
Also most terrible parent.
@@wardenmagellan2643 nah
@@jkhcu i dunno his kids are billionaires due to him only
Livia Soprano is the worst, by far.
“BeCauSe yOu NeEd a SUpEr MaJOriTY…”😭😭
Definitely missed the "it's a number on a piece of paper...it's a fight for a knife in the mud". Arguably one of his best and rare calm moments.
That line summed up his entire identity. It was not only chilling but brutal in it’s simplicity. I still think about it when I think about Succession. It sums up the entire show for me.
@@Davidsworldtravels was a saying that to someone the other day. The line that comes to memory most thinking about the show
for sure the best one
Which episode was that again?
@@SuperRichyrich11toward the end of season 3, when he's negotiating with kendall at the dinner table.
the hyena farm always gets me 😂
How to annihilate someone's self-esteem in one line
"thaaanks dad"
Might be my favorite insult from him. just so brutal and funny at the same time.
Me too! He didn't even need to curse😂
It's missing Logan's best line. "Give my best to her cancer."
One of the funniest lines in the whole show
Another one that was great "If I drop my pants down, I can show you an alternative face"
"You are not serious people." Legendary delivery from the actor
Hands down, Logan is one of the most memorable and legendary TV characters. Up there with the very best!
right next to Tony Soprano
“I. Will. Win” even topped “I am the danger” for me.
"I am the danger" remains on top. It's the culmination of a man's pure uncontrollable ego summed up in one single sentence.
@@mrprimeconsigliere he actually said "for me" so Logan's "I will win " remains on top for him!
And the quote of "I love you but you are not serious people" has the same vibe as "Goodbye, Lydia."

A villain so entertaining you root for him
Everyone is a villain against each other in this show
surprise. he's not the villain.
not a villain
He's definitely an entertaining villain. 😂
I'm rooting against him
"You better be smelling your armpit, Romulus"
I just watched a man verbally abuse everybody around him for five minutes straight and i've never been happier
0:19 "none of my kids has went off the band or offed themselves" watch out for this line
kenbros on watch
@@Owlero according to my it's over/ we're back scale... it's not looking good
I think Roman is the one to watch after last ep
he really is the king of a read, for better or worse. he is savagely gagging people like there is no tomorrow

3:01 Best life advice. "Play smart today...."
The best “I’m back” since Jordan and Jesus
3:47 is maybe my favorite moment from the entire series
🤣 he had me rolling when he did that, Logan is the Goat for real
Logan throwing greg’s fathers sexuality in his face is ruthless
1:13 this insult to Karl kills me every time 😂😂😂
Savage 😂😂
wheeze everytime
I must use that line one day
He's a living testimony to emotional damage.
I can really relate to the fear and the need for approval that he instills in his children. He is a total monster but one warm fatherly gesture from him and I myself would be ready to forgive him for anything 😮
He is a sociopathic manipulator and abuser.
"Who wants to smell Gregs finger?"

His presence is missed this season but the show has done a great job of still making it an amazing season without its main character 🙌
Totally agree, so far been very well pulled off
Totally agree, so far been very well pulled off
Much like Hannibal Lecter in "The Silence of the Lambs," who only had about 16 minutes of screen time, you can feel Logan's presence in every episode.
Its the "or are you shooting blanks?" for me 😂😂😂😂
“Money wins.” That one line sums up the entire show and America in general.
Only second to Genghis Khan.
I agree but also don't forget Qin Shi Huang, lol!
Imagine Tywin Lannister and Logan Roy going at it that would be something
A truly iconic character..Thank you Brian Cox 🙏🏼
We did not get you from a hyena farm! Great writing, will miss this show so much.
I was devastated when he died in the show. Best actor on the show
My favorite is “She’s a million years old. It’s disgusting. You’re a laughingstock”
Logan & Roy are two of the most memorable charcters in Televsion history without a doubt 🛐
Lets not forget that Connor Roy was interested in politics at a very young age
I need to see more of him this season 😭😭
😂😂😂
I love the Logan and his family , especially Kendal, I understand their difficulties and pain.
"my best to her cancer" was one of the best lines in the entire series, let alone logan's
Certified legend. 🔥
The delivery of the hyena farm line was perfect 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
man not gonna lie i miss these bangers from Logan 😂
" You have to be a killer" one of the most iconic phrases, Se.02 episode 10 , it should be in this video @HBO
My favorite is "Success!" and then he does a cute little fist bump before breaking into a full on improvised dance to music he mumble-hums himself.
one of the most remarkable characters in recent tv history
I've seen parents act horrible to their kids as a twisted way of showing care and affection. I gotta say though, this is one of the most sickening yet well-acted examples I've ever seen.
''Smart people know what they are.''
3:45 He uses the sibling mock against them.
“Money Wins”
Always have and always will
“I love you but you are not serious people “
I was waiting for this to get posted. So good!
I miss him so much
0:55 I always loose it with that safety briefing 😂😂😂
I miss Logan, I miss this show terribly 😓
4:30 best one😂
Shut him down😂
Logan was right…. “I love you, but you’re not serious people…”. SO PERFECT!! 👍👍💪💪💥💥🤣🤣
Love this character, one of the all time greats.
This video is so good it almost made me forget he was in Pixels
2:56 is looking realll prophetic right about now 😭
God, i completely forgot that Karolina used to be a blonde.
Logan Roy, one savage father
0:05 - Background music is "Big Guns" by ALIBI Music
Truly father of the year😂😂😂
Greatest man on earth.
Someone needs to make an edit of gigachad Logan

Or when Shiv says "Dad can't swim" at family therapy and then Logan goes swimming after they've all left
Can't believe they left out "are you a sicko?"
I hope there will be a separate TV series about Logan 😅❤
„Nothing is a line. Everything everywhere is always moving, forever.“ should have been in here
HBO to all the streaming services: "You are not serious people."
This video is all good, but we should all know, Connor Roy was interested in politics from a very young age!
Logan roy the GOAT of television charecter
who's your lawyer line kills me
Imagine quitting a job where your boss is Logan Roy and land somewhere where you have Michael Scott as boss
Incredible actor...
Iconic character!
Sent this to my father. We are not billionares but I can relate. Anyone else?
1:57 William Stryker and William Stryker, lol.
Logan Roy is kinda the dad you hate but can't keep yourself from wanting his approval.
This is one of the most brilliant anti heros in television history
He is a villian
Kendall roy is one of the greatest anti hero of all time with ,Tony sopreno ,Walter white,don draper
He isn't anti hero he is a villain. It shouldn't be forgotten he is a bad man through and through with no redeeming qualities.
he deserves an Oscar
“I am dead!!” - Logan Roy
My favorite character ❤
It's cloudy. It's sunny
They deserved him as a father. Every one of em.
Logan is an sheer dinosaur. A T-Rex to be more specific.
he came, he won, he died.
Best character since Tony Soprano 👍🏻
1:21 JAJAJAJAJ Romulus, cuando te rías por favor hazlo al mismo volumen que todos los demás, no te sacamos de una granja de hienas JAJAJAJAJA
Such a shame he wasnt in season 4 for longer time
R.I.P Logan Roy (2023)
The ost is insane
Imagine if Kevin Spacey played this role
Logan Roy reminds me of my dad lol
^You are not serious people ^the most real thing about the Roy's
RIP Logan Roy....My Leader
Without logan, no succession
duh
Logan has always given me big Heihachi energy
Logan is that guy.
omg how can you miss when he said to frank, "you're not trusted. you're mashed potato."
