Himmler was just looking to stroke his own ego having Smith apologise and beg for his life and his family's life before he was to be arrested for treason.

I think that if the show focused on a singular world it would have worked better. Like get rid of the films and have them replaced with a real book written by a dissident writer who inspires many. Have Jules read it and become radicalized, while Smith continues to rise and eventually assassinates the Nazi leadership. This allows for an independent America and a resistance movement within the neutral zone and American Riech. On the Japanese side have the BCR not be mainly filled with African Americans but with a coalition akin to that Fred Hampton made uniting the white, Hispanic, and black populations against the Japanese. Have the Japanese characters of Kido and the Tagomi have their stories revolve around redeployment to the Chinese front as diplomats after the Japanese leave America. This would both create a fascinating story and appeal to international audiences, especially a Chinese market were they are portrayed as communist freedom fighters. From a sales and story perspective this would be better. Since the shows focus on the parallel worlds hurt it more than helped it. Childan and Ed could travel the neutral zone encountering the growing resistance.
Gotta be honest, I loved the angle of the films and parallel universes around season 2 and until mid season 3. But after Frank Spotnitz left the show (I'm not entirely sure that's the reason, but I imagine the main showrunner leaving fucked things up quite a bit, like Darabont leaving TWD after season 1, for instance) they seemed to have lost their creativity and ran out of interesting things to do with the show, which is ridiculous with how much there is to do with a world where the Nazi's won the Second World War.

Can we all appreciate how good of an actor Kenneth Tigar is. He wasn't suppose to play Hitler but he played a way better fascist leader than the man who played Hitler.
I agree, Tigar was amazing in this. However, I also think that Hitler was written as a relatively weak character in this, on purpose. In this universe he is an old man, and the people around him are plotting against him or waiting for his death. We don't really get to expect a strong Führer. However, we get to see a glimpse of the "familiar" diabolical plotter when he survives the assassination attempt and shows he knew Heydrich et co were after him. But still, he was an old sick man in this.

Fun fact, you can't actually smell Zyklon gas unless an irritant is added (done for safety purposes as it was originally an industrial pesticide), and this was one of the reasons it was used in the Holocaust in addition to its widespread availability.
So John walks into the room, saw the poisoned whisky and the gas tank proper, commits to insult the failed chicken farmer into killing himself, forces him to inhale the gas which John’s about to unleash to his own ”non-Aryan” country men Nice little details here and there, that’s why I love this series
He died a coward who ran away hoping to be taken in by the Allies, and he thought run Germany after hitler. He knew he would face the noose and took the cowards way out, because he was always a tiny coward.

Hell, you could maintain 99% of the film stuff too by just having the Man in the High Castle distributing propaganda or they use impressively good fake films to disturb the citizens under the regime!
When Smith said "The very thought that you see yourself in me, it sickens me", I thought maybe he was on some redemption arc. Turns out he was too deep and "didn't know" how to get out. Really wish this series has one more season to properly flesh things out.

It's just a show but at least have some common sense.
@@B_B463 Well yes but Both regions are never shown in the series so we don't know whether they are the same bands in both continents or different in both continents after all they changed their bands in N.America
@@theidk4589 Yes.. but the US is a country. And every country has their own flag. So there’s no such thing as an ‘African armband’ because there are many different nations on the African continent.
S4.E9: This should’ve been the ending and there should’ve been a season 5 to end the show properly. Smith is such a good character that i began to side with him and hated the resistance. Wyatt is ok but Juliana is so boring. it’s Rome all over again. I’m pretty sure a lot of American presidents wanted to do that to Hoover. This scene was so good and then the next episode just derailed everything... I think, we can all agree, that this episode should be the real final episode. They divided the empire; The end of this season was such a shame. A real disappointment for an otherwise very good season. It really felt rushed towards the end. And here’s the thing... Smith was kinda the show's main character. Season 1 he was the antagonist. Season 2 and 3 he had become an antihero and by season 4 Juliana's arc had been so far relegated to the side, that Smith and Helen were constantly centre stage with the Japanese plot being the next most interesting. The show went out of its way to make clear that John was never a die-hard Nazi. Every deed and decision he’d ever made he’d done for his family. The tragedy of his character was supposed to be that he could only go upwards onto ever more shaky ground, or come crashing down with his wife and kids' fates in the balance. To all of a sudden take a 180 with his character feels so cheap and forced to me. Why is he going full steam ahead with plans for Holocaust.3.0 when he and his family are safe? Because he “didn’t know how” to stop it? Really!? But his mate, Bill, could turn the planes around with a single order and publicly throw away his badge? Not to mention that’s terribly unrealistic for a nation where significant portion of the population are extremely indoctrinated and at least half the top military staff in the American Reich are still die-hard Nazis. This needed another fucking season. We should’ve had John lose his sanity over Thomas and kidnap him. It would’ve made for great storytelling. If the writers wanted to drum up the “Absolute power corrupts absolutely” trope, they could’ve... but not in half a bloody episode! Way to butcher 4 seasons worth of character development in 30 fucking minutes. :(
I completely Agree with all you said. I've always liked John Smith characters since the beginning, and I still think he's the main character of the show and not Juliana. He's the reason why I continue watching the show, but after watching how S4 ends.... oh man
I like your take but the issue with it is we don't see what John Smith did to not only survive but amass all that power. It's pretty clear what he did -- implemented and probably planned or architected the American Holocaust. He's the American Heydrich. So yes while the show takes decades later, it would break suspension of disbelief for someone like John Smith to have "redemption" because redemption for such a man (a man that Himmler sees as a son) to be redeemed. He murdered millions of people. Redemption can't come for someone like that no matter the motivations. There's only one possible ending that could secure his family and put him on the side of the resistance -- become the Fuhrer and achieve the destruction of Germany somehow but that would really take some creative writing and would logically end up in his own destruction. He's far too selfish to have redemption because any credible redemption would result in his death.
@@brianllllll It's like that saying: "Everything that starts wrong is doomed to failure in the medium or long term." We can see this with the character Nicholas Brody from the Homeland series (2011-2020)!!!
Man i literally just finished season 4. What a weird way to end the series, i feel this definitely deserved another 2 seasons to fully flesh out the story.
@@worldofdoom995 They canceled the show because ratings started to decline along with budget cuts. And ya, I too feel this show could've gone another 1-2 more seasons because the ending felt so rushed
What's cool is that the actor who plays Himmler also played as the old man who stood up to Loki in the first Avengers film (the scene then referenced Hitler when Captain America entered the scene).
Adorable coming from a Lincoln avatar: a treasonous tyrannical homosexual that gave black slaves rights, betrayed his race, his people and suspended the Bill of Rights, gave bankers absolute power, used white slaves to fight his wars only to get BTFO by John Wilkes Booth the hero at a theatre. Please do inform us on who was truly evil little miss keyboard warrior.
I really think that this scene can be a drama and emotional if Himmler didn't yell or mad but instead crying. He trusted Smith so much that i think it not so wrong to make him go emotional instead of madness
If Hoover had made his case,Smith and family would have been killed. I LOVE how Smith killed Hoover. ' I refuse to beg for my life!'. "I wouldn't listen ,anyway".
Himmler earlier: *Opposes killing the Emperor because he knows the Japanese need to see their deity surrender* Himmler now: *Fails to notice Smith and Goertzmann forming a coup de tat under his very nose*
A person can be blind to what's happening in their immediate vicinity and be pretty great at stretching attention to what's more distant. Specialties differ.
It's scenes like this which made me realise that John Smith was one of the most interesting characters from the series. It took a long time to see that, though.
The irony of the scene is how do you root for one man who has made evil choices in life over another man who is just as clearly if not more evil himself. This was an awesome scene in the show, and it shows the depths of which human beings will fall in order to maintain power and protect themselves. This is why tyrannical governments and feudalistic societies were and are so brutal. Machiavellian is a means to an end, survival of the fittest is only one small segment, you have to be diabolical in thinking 12 steps ahead of your competitors or you will end up "one coughing fit away from being eliminated". In these types of societies everyone is your competitor, you only have temporary alliances to achieve temporary goals in a never-ending cycle.
Himmler: Say something in your defence! (Got you now, bitch! haha) Smith: What can I say, Mein Fuhrer? You're... right. I never loved you. Himmler: *COF* (Yo, wtf?)
frankly, at times it's almost unbelivable that he managed to get to the position he did, despite only having the respect of two other nazis throughout his entire career.

Smith has all this evidence and high ranking officials against him. But nope, let's just put him in a room alone with the supreme leader coughing up a lung. It's just a show but at least have some common sense.
Killing a murderous leader only to become the next one to take his love for blood.
What'd u expect? No matter how bad a Person is Murdering them just makes you the same
Yeah I mean in that case Juliana and all the other "good guys" were evil too.
@@gustavabensberg4260 so id be as bad as hitler if I killed him? He started a war that killed 60 million and yet I’d be the same as him?
@@dreamcream5443 yes because murder is murder
@@Chosen9038 so in stead I let him continue killing millions of people? Got it.
I like how this is almost exactly the same as the TNO Himmler death scene where Heydrich kills him.
@Nathan Morrow It's the Rule of Two
I think TNO would’ve made an even better TV series than Man in the High Castle.
TNO?
@@davidw.2791 its a hoi4 mod check it out its very good
@@NerfMaster000 eh not sure about this one whit all the drama that the time had a few years ago
As the scene started I was watching as usual........as it went, I'm thinking "Yah - John - just give it to him"......
I have no regrets.
Hi Jim
I love how the US Nazis still have stripes on their armband, while German ones just have the red one
Well now I wonder how the bands look like in Asia and Africa.
@@theidk4589 You realize that Asia and Africa are both continents right?
@@B_B463 Well yes but Both regions are never shown in the series so we don't know whether they are the same bands in both continents or different in both continents after all they changed their bands in N.America
@@theidk4589 Yes.. but the US is a country. And every country has their own flag. So there’s no such thing as an ‘African armband’ because there are many different nations on the African continent.
@@B_B463 But they are controlled by one nation the Reich. It's like USA a country has 50 different flags for 50 different states
Nice title
Ahah Thanks ! It made me laugh so I kept it :D !
Title should have been John Smith kills the Old German guy who stood up to Loki in Avengers
S4.E9: This should’ve been the ending and there should’ve been a season 5 to end the show properly. Smith is such a good character that i began to side with him and hated the resistance. Wyatt is ok but Juliana is so boring.
it’s Rome all over again. I’m pretty sure a lot of American presidents wanted to do that to Hoover. This scene was so good and then the next episode just derailed everything... I think, we can all agree, that this episode should be the real final episode. They divided the empire;
The end of this season was such a shame. A real disappointment for an otherwise very good season. It really felt rushed towards the end.
And here’s the thing... Smith was kinda the show's main character. Season 1 he was the antagonist. Season 2 and 3 he had become an antihero and by season 4 Juliana's arc had been so far relegated to the side, that Smith and Helen were constantly centre stage with the Japanese plot being the next most interesting. The show went out of its way to make clear that John was never a die-hard Nazi. Every deed and decision he’d ever made he’d done for his family. The tragedy of his character was supposed to be that he could only go upwards onto ever more shaky ground, or come crashing down with his wife and kids' fates in the balance.
To all of a sudden take a 180 with his character feels so cheap and forced to me. Why is he going full steam ahead with plans for Holocaust.3.0 when he and his family are safe? Because he “didn’t know how” to stop it? Really!? But his mate, Bill, could turn the planes around with a single order and publicly throw away his badge? Not to mention that’s terribly unrealistic for a nation where significant portion of the population are extremely indoctrinated and at least half the top military staff in the American Reich are still die-hard Nazis.
This needed another fucking season. We should’ve had John lose his sanity over Thomas and kidnap him. It would’ve made for great storytelling. If the writers wanted to drum up the “Absolute power corrupts absolutely” trope, they could’ve... but not in half a bloody episode! Way to butcher 4 seasons worth of character development in 30 fucking minutes.
:(
I completely Agree with all you said. I've always liked John Smith characters since the beginning, and I still think he's the main character of the show and not Juliana. He's the reason why I continue watching the show, but after watching how S4 ends.... oh man
I like your take but the issue with it is we don't see what John Smith did to not only survive but amass all that power. It's pretty clear what he did -- implemented and probably planned or architected the American Holocaust. He's the American Heydrich. So yes while the show takes decades later, it would break suspension of disbelief for someone like John Smith to have "redemption" because redemption for such a man (a man that Himmler sees as a son) to be redeemed. He murdered millions of people. Redemption can't come for someone like that no matter the motivations. There's only one possible ending that could secure his family and put him on the side of the resistance -- become the Fuhrer and achieve the destruction of Germany somehow but that would really take some creative writing and would logically end up in his own destruction. He's far too selfish to have redemption because any credible redemption would result in his death.
@@brianllllll It's like that saying: "Everything that starts wrong is doomed to failure in the medium or long term."
We can see this with the character Nicholas Brody from the Homeland series (2011-2020)!!!
Um... he wasn't a "die-hard Nazi"...
But did a LOT of horrific shit in their name.
If it quacks like a duck, goose steps like a...
In this scene, I thought John Smith was finally starting his repentment, but I was so wrong!
This is one of the most satisfying things I have ever seen.
The series should've ended with this episode, and I like to pretend that it did.
This was honestly the most satisfying part in the whole series
I love his character developement.
this was the moment john smith became man in the high castle
killed the same way he did millions of his victims, no air left to breath
the irony, killed with Zyklon
Justice is more like it.
Almost killed him with the roasts alone. 💀💀
John cooked him alive
Man i literally just finished season 4.
What a weird way to end the series, i feel this definitely deserved another 2 seasons to fully flesh out the story.
yeah I think the writers expected 5 seasons but were stuck with four.
@@worldofdoom995 They canceled the show because ratings started to decline along with budget cuts. And ya, I too feel this show could've gone another 1-2 more seasons because the ending felt so rushed
2:46 for some reason the delivery of this line has always stuck with me. Great acting
The gamer in the chat when he finds out the owner is a furry, 3:00
Smith: Try this new drug……it’s a gas.
Hi John
I never watched the show so I was expecting an actual chicken farmer 😂
has nothing to do with the show
IRL himmler
was a chicken farmer then a smuggler
I had hoped for a John Smith redemption but instead they ruined the ending of the series.....what a waste
Were there any in the books.
@@ramsaysnow9196 John Smith isn't a thing in the book.
@@infu7248 LOL
@@infu7248 yes he is
Damn, I had no idea the poultry business was this cutthroat.
*Failed chicken farmer*
I hope you are happy John, you broke poor Heimrich heart
Man one of the best recent shows, I loved it. Time to watch it again
in 7 octaves nazu pitch: say something smith in your defenxe
Zyklon B, what an irony
What's cool is that the actor who plays Himmler also played as the old man who stood up to Loki in the first Avengers film (the scene then referenced Hitler when Captain America entered the scene).
👍🏼
Wow
i really wished they made a joke about sleipnir ....... that would have made that scene perfect
To this day I still think this is one of best written and executed pieces of television in history.

what karens say wearing a mask feels like.
What Karen's will say what happens when you don't wear a mask.
@@simplelogic9090 oh no does someones mom make them wear their mask :(
Interestingly Kenneth Tigar also played the old German man that refused to bend the knee to Loki in The Avengers. Delicious irony.
The Failed Chicken Farmers would be a great name for a goth band...lol

Adorable coming from a Lincoln avatar: a treasonous tyrannical homosexual that gave black slaves rights, betrayed his race, his people and suspended the Bill of Rights, gave bankers absolute power, used white slaves to fight his wars only to get BTFO by John Wilkes Booth the hero at a theatre. Please do inform us on who was truly evil little miss keyboard warrior.
@@tactknightgaming2066 cope
2:40 "a failed chicken farmer" 😂😂😂😂
I really think that this scene can be a drama and emotional if Himmler didn't yell or mad but instead crying. He trusted Smith so much that i think it not so wrong to make him go emotional instead of madness
If Hoover had made his case,Smith and family would have been killed.
I LOVE how Smith killed Hoover.
' I refuse to beg for my life!'.
"I wouldn't listen ,anyway".
i like how he kills him with zyklon just like himmler did to others
you ALMOST feel sorry for him
and his chickens
though listening to his lungs turn to soup is quite amusing
That's poetic justice, zyklon B no less
Himmler earlier: *Opposes killing the Emperor because he knows the Japanese need to see their deity surrender*
Himmler now: *Fails to notice Smith and Goertzmann forming a coup de tat under his very nose*
A person can be blind to what's happening in their immediate vicinity and be pretty great at stretching attention to what's more distant. Specialties differ.
The way Smith walks and looks around is great,he is always 2-3 steps ahead of his enemies
The Collapse of the Order State of Burgundy (Circa 1981)
john really didn't give a shit with himmler LMAO
Failed Chicken Farmer : Say something!
John Smith : ES IST ZEIT FÜR REICH!
When watching I thought this was going to be johns redemption but how wrong I was
The bastard killed itself, so rip bozo I guess
"Say something I'm giving up on you"
His final coughing fit was amusing
The title is incorrect. He’s a mediocre failed chicken farmer
It's scenes like this which made me realise that John Smith was one of the most interesting characters from the series. It took a long time to see that, though.
What's the soundtrack at 2:18? Really makes this scene.
@@jake.s7065 'Tanks.
0:08 "Your sidearm please " Nazi game intro
Challenge: take a shot every time Himmler coughs.
The irony of the scene is how do you root for one man who has made evil choices in life over another man who is just as clearly if not more evil himself. This was an awesome scene in the show, and it shows the depths of which human beings will fall in order to maintain power and protect themselves. This is why tyrannical governments and feudalistic societies were and are so brutal. Machiavellian is a means to an end, survival of the fittest is only one small segment, you have to be diabolical in thinking 12 steps ahead of your competitors or you will end up "one coughing fit away from being eliminated". In these types of societies everyone is your competitor, you only have temporary alliances to achieve temporary goals in a never-ending cycle.

Himmler: 💅 you know how it is
Himmler: Say something in your defence! (Got you now, bitch! haha)
Smith: What can I say, Mein Fuhrer? You're... right. I never loved you.
Himmler: *COF* (Yo, wtf?)
"A failed chicken farmer" assassinated with a air tank of Zyklon B. So appropriate and fitting end.
Had he been a good chicken farmer, maybe he wouldn't have joined the Nazis in the first place.
Doctor traveled to another dimension.
I am in class, and I nearly burst out laughing because of that title, I nearly got in trobule
It's very upsetting that this series never got the ending it deserved
Mein Fuher, Himmler... has been killed.
Hitler: "Oh no!"
Hitler: "Anyways, the new Porche 911 looks really good!"
frankly, at times it's almost unbelivable that he managed to get to the position he did, despite only having the respect of two other nazis throughout his entire career.
That title is a great way to avoid spoilers. Well played.
I wonder what Himmler would have said if John waited until he was done with the mask
For some reason I thought the title said Man murders failed chicken 🤣
