#succession script s4

too many emotions

[lesbiankendall]

kenstewy + implied shared history

Arian Moayed: [...] All these episodes are packed with stuff, much longer than the 60 minutes that are in there. In this conversation that we had together, I just remember there were some lines about — it wasn't much, it was a little bit — about how [Kendall's] dad treated him as a child.  Right, because Stewy was there. Moayed: Oh, he saw it. There was this whole section of like, "Do you remember?" Stewy sees all that. "Why the fuck do you give a shit about your dad right now? He treated you like trash your whole life."

Our finales have typically ended with the evil defeated, or at least pushed away, allowing our characters to catch their collective breath and return to their normal lives. But because this is the penultimate season, we wanted an Empire Strikes Back style ending — meaning, it ends on a down note, with our characters experiencing real defeat for the first time. The bad guy wins. Friends (heroes) die, or are badly wounded. We felt this led to some incredibly devastating performances from our cast, as they come face to face with death and loss, a feeling which will cast a dark cloud over the final season. Like a lot of people, high school was a very challenging time for us — you’re facing the pressure of figuring out your future at the same time you are trying to fit in, or even just trying to understand who you are. It’s a lot to take on at that age and it can leave you feeling hopeless, like there’s no end to the uncertainty in sight. This emotional truth was at the center of Vecna. In many ways a physical representation of anxiety and depression, he is an evil force that leeches on youth’s frailty. The devil on your shoulder, the dark whisper in your ear. We hope that the show ultimately gives hope to kids that, with the help of loved ones, you can overcome anything. You can run your way up that hill, out of darkness and into the light. During filming, the script mostly went unchanged, although on set, and in the edit, everyone worked hard to make each character moment as impactful as possible. Some of this came from actor improvisation. For instance, in Eddie’s death scene, the simple exchange where Eddie and Dustin tell one another they love each other was improvised by Gaten [Matarazzo] and Joe [Quinn] during filming. Lucas screaming for Erica to help as Max dies in his arms was similarly an idea that came from Caleb [McLaughlin]. Our editor Dean Zimmerman heightened the moment of Eddie’s decision to fight back by slowing down the footage and adding flashbacks. Our music editor, Lena Glikson, cut a remix of “Running Up That Hill” into the final battle in a way that just took our breath away. It was just many, many moments like these from our cast, crew and post-production team which, hopefully, brought further emotion and humanity to the words on the page.

a man who is still a boy

[jessicaavon]

Y’all, the way Kendall, Roman, and Connor are so uniquely hurt in “Sad Sack Wasp Trap” by their father is brutal.

[catinfroghat]

I always thought the Roman-Frank feud was one-sided but ooh this was nasty

[nigesakis]

all succ scenes that were cut for time/schedule reasons are canon to me. so 4x04 & 4x09 kenstewy canon since arian was credited in intro for 9 and confirmed they filmed ☝️

[loveandthings11]

Maybe ❤️
