Succession remains appointment television on Sunday nights and, as usual, digital water cooler Twitter is abuzz with talk of the latest episode a day later. However, today’s chatter is slightly different than the usual disdainful amusement at the antics of the toxic Roy family in their endless power struggle. Today, there is an air of disappointment that Sunday’s episode did not deliver on the potential entertainment value of Kendall Roy’s 40th birthday party.
Sure, we got pesky little brother Roman antagonizing his older brother, Shiv’s dance floor meltdown, Connor’s coat (and polling-related injury), and cousin Greg‘s victorious date proposal (though Comfry may have just accepted out of spite for Ken’s nonstop buffoonery), but the one thing we didn’t get was the one thing the show’s writers had to have known we’d want from the moment they wrote the words: Tiny Wu-Tang.
Just look at Rava’s face. The skepticism mixed with wonderment and just a dash of curiosity. Truly, she is all of us.
I desperately need to see Tiny Wu Tang #SuccessionHBO

And then Kendall (probably wisely) pulled the plug on his schlocky performance idea (crucified, singing Billy Joel’s “Honesty.” Whew, lord, that man isn’t just out of touch — he’s never been in it). And so we all missed out on what could very well have been the most side-splittingly harebrained of his birthday plans. Fans aren’t happy about it, either.
The Tiny Wu-Tang that’s never show is more powerful than any Tiny Wu-Tang you might see.

Things I wish we'd got to see in this week's #SuccessionHBO:
– Tiny Wu-Tang
– Kendall's set
– Tom 'proving it' to Greg
– Someone, anyone, punching Roman in the face— Holly Brockwell (@holly) November 29, 2021
ok but the tiny wu-tang could’ve still performed

Kendall was right to cancel the Jesus cosplay but he was VERY wrong to cancel Tiny Wu-Tang

Justice for Tiny Wu-Tang

Ah, well. It’s probably better we didn’t get this anyway. Could you imagine those poor kids having to tour behind some dumb joke from an HBO show? That’s one future reality show we definitely don’t need to be subjected t– aw, dangit. Now, I want that too.
