Succession (HBO) TV Show • Page 125

Halfway through industry season 2 and it’s really good and I 100% always know what they’re talking about for sure.

 

Must be nice

 

In all honesty I have the gist of what they’re saying business wise since I’m in sales but there’s still some lingo/diction I’m not privy to

 

Subtitles help when Industry gets real in the weeds if you care to learn. If not, they usually do a good job of dropping a dumbed down headline to sum it up before moving on.

I like that they don’t stay too long on the business convos when they decide to go into the weeds of the financial lingo

 

I’m rewatching Industry s2 right now and forgot there is literally a part where someone goes “why are you dressed like Kendall Roy?” Lmao feels weird that Succession exists in the world of Industry.

 

orrr maybe Waystar RoyCo exists in the world of Industry!

 

Would be cool if there’s an ep in Industry S3 where “Waystar Royco” is mentioned in a trade

 

I’ve started saying, “you (or “they” if reiterating a conversation/experience) are not serious people” in regards to people / departments at work and hooboy does that not sit well with some folks lol. Some people react like you just screamed something vile in someone’s face.

 

Well it was meant to be a pretty serious putdown. He was basically telling them that he decided to sell because he knew that they would screw it up after spending so long trying to pretend to be adults.

 

Now start telling people to fuck off.

 

gifs you can hear

 

I would probably not adopt language that stern from a fictional show in my real workplace lol, and ironically I'm talking about the "not serious people" thing, not "fuck off" (that's fine)

 

I laughed too much at this lmao

 

If that is the value of AI it's time to throw the servers into the garbage.

 

I hate the idea that people could make their own endings to satisfy the interpretation that they had. I would much rather have a "bad" ending that was what the creators intended than some sort of crowd-sourced idea based on what fans wanted. That is what makes art good.

 

I mostly agree but then I think about how GOT ended.

 

But there is value to that too. The ending is so universally despised that it is sort of a learning moment for what not to do. Even people who are not that media savvy could identify the way those last seasons betrayed logic and the character arcs that had been established.

Also, I would bet that most peoples' endings would be worse.

 

No argument there. It just makes me wonder what it'd be like if people could universally agree the human ending was weak and then took to some machines to create alternates.

 

it'd be stupid and hacky is what it would be like. what makes art enjoyable is that it was created with intent.

if you just want your own head-canon satisfied you're no better than a pig eating from a through. slop it up, porky.

 

Agree to disagree

 

they're right

 

Firm firm firm agree.

Also bad endings have value. Being able to universally agree “Dexter’s last season is some of the worst content ever” creates common ground lol
