HBO's adrenaline-fueled drama Succession has reached an epic conclusion. The show ran for four seasons and saw an all-out war between the power-hungry Roy siblings over the control of a global media and entertainment conglomerate company, known as Waystar RoyCo.
The company was founded by their father Logan Roy, a cut-throat businessman who depended on traditional methods to run his company.
Logan's three children, Kendall, Siobhan (Shiv), and Roman waged war against each other after the death of their father. While none of them were able to become CEO in the end, the final episode saw a sequence where the three siblings had a massive argument. Amidst the argument, Kendall claimed that he deserved to become CEO because he was the oldest.
This claim made the internet go berserk as they found the claim ridiculous.

"I am the eldest boy!"
