Like Bran the Broken."
It’ll be Kendall easily."
“Nope, gonna be Tom.”
The responses have been all over the place.
Hear me out on this.
This dude started off as a weed-induced puking machine in a theme park costume.
I mean, talk about a humble beginning.
He can’t even afford rent and has to smuggle office snacks in doggy poop bags.
That’s some next-level resourcefulness right there.
Now, Greg may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he’s no fool.
He’s been accumulating some serious insider knowledge and leveraging it like a pro.
Remember that mysterious piece of paper with names crossed out?
Well, guess whose name was on it?
You got itGreg’s!
Why, you ask?
But you might bet your bottom dollar that it means something.
Succession doesn’t throw in details just for kicks.
This fuckin guy Greg, he’s been trading information for power like it’s a yard sale.
When there was a scandal with the cruises, he ratted out Tom and even blackmailed him.
And let’s not forget how he exposed Shiv’s secret deal.
Greg may play the fool, but he’s secretly hoarding secrets and backstabbing like a pro.
The Roys keep underestimating him, brushing off his attempts at hugs and hanging up on him.
But little do they know, Greg’s gathering all the intel he needs to take them down.
As Kendall wisely puts it, “The poison drips through.”
Greg has been gathering valuable information since day 1, and using it to his advantage.
He’s the master of secrets, flipping on anyone who crosses him.
And you know what’s even crazier?
Because Greg’s the guy who fires people left and right at WayStar Royco.
The dude’s got a talent for cutting throats, metaphorically speaking, of course.
It’s a match made in scheming heaven.
Because they’re not good at anything!
They have no actual, discernible talents.
They don’t command respect from anybody.
They’re the opposite of leaders.
Something his father would never.
His track record speaks for itself.
Remember when he ratted out Tom to Gerri about the cruises scandal?
He even stole some paperwork to blackmail Tom and help Ken take down Logan.
And let’s not forget when he exposed Shiv’s secret deal with Matsson to Ken.
The guy knows how to play the game.
Greg is a cold-blooded killer who relishes firing people via Zoom at Waystar Royco.
He’s doing the dirty work that Tom wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole.
Matsson is intrigued by it.
He wants to know Greg’s secret.
How does he do it?
No remorse, no regrets.
HR thinks he cares, but deep down, Greg is just playing the game.
Think about where Greg started with Mattson and the Swedes- being called a dingleberry.
They’re too dumb, entitled, and messed up to be successful.
None of them deserve a happy ending.
And I don’t think Mattson respects him whatsoever.
He’s a truebusinessmanat the end of the day.
One that Mattson can rely on to be a true “puppet” to him.
Just a total shit show that ensures none of them get the figurehead position.
So, could Greg be the one to rise to the top?
I’m definitely feeling like he could.
Both of which would be extremely boring choices.
Imagine Greg, the unlikely CEO of a media conglomerate.
It’s like a Hollywood underdog story, but with way more scheming and backstabbing.
The Play = Greg The Egg
p.s.
nobody falls upward like greg the egg
