WARNING: A BIG SUCCESSION SPOILER AHEAD! DO NOT READ FURTHER UNLESS YOU’VE SEEN IT.
Ready?
OK.
Whew. That Succession series finale was something, wasn’t it? We’ve rounded up the five most devastating moments, which included two big things from the final fight between Shiv, Kendall and Roman Roy.
One of those was Kendall, in pure desperation mode, screaming at Shiv: “I AM THE ELDEST BOY!” It’s a call-back to something he said in front of Connor Roy earlier in the series, who rightfully took offense to it since he’s truly the eldest sibling despite the fact that he has zero interest in Logan’s business.
Of course, that phrase became a meme:
Kendall Roy: I AM THE ELDEST BOY
Shiv Roy: 😂😂😂 You are not pic.twitter.com/qNpMfpK8oK— THE TRENDING💙 (@TheTrending7) May 29, 2023

Everyone tweeting “I AM THE ELDEST BOY” must remember that Connor, the real eldest son, said it first. #Succession pic.twitter.com/LgBlVPWbVQ
