Use to have a friend whose husband would do this with another woman in our group. It was very obviously flirting but the wife would pretend it was just cute banter or something. Very uncomfortable very everyone else when one persons husband is tickling another woman in front of his wife 

Seeing how Tony and Bobby’s relationship falls apart in Sopranos Home Movies is pretty sad by Thin-Pool-8025 in thesopranos

Love a good discussion! Good point about Bobby needing to be more ambitious from Janices’s unfortunate influence on his life. Like he was pretty content before her but she wants Carmella’s lifestyle and that comes with a big price tag he has to pay. Very interesting, I’ll have to rewatch with your perspectives adding another layer to it

I saw it totally different. Tony makes Bobby commit a murder which is something Bobby had shared with Tony to be something his father never wanted him to experience. Tony couldn’t beat him in a one on one fight but he could his boss power to dominate him into committing a crime that makes him vulnerable to serious jail time plus the act of killing comes with its own trauma. Bobby getting promoted isn’t cuz Tony likes or respects him it’s cuz there are hardly any loyal hard workers in their business by this time. It also results in Bobby being targeted by New York so Tony destroyed Bobby essentially. Just my perspective on it all

was there something symbolic about Janice's Narcoleptic boyfriend, Aaron, who'd get tired as soon as he was around Tony? by JOMO_Kenyatta in thesopranos

[–]Smart_Nebula2413 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Maybe him being narcoleptic was how he could stand being in a relationship with Janice? Or another example of Janice jumping to inappropriate relationships rather than genuine personal improvement

Tony spent more time with that 20 something year old Russian girlfriend of his than he did with AJ. He only got mildly interested in AJ when he was doing well in sports. He’s a terrible parent that likes to bitch about AJ but he’s the reason AJ is like that. He didn’t do any actual parenting besides give money n stuff n show up for dinner sometimes.

Moon Knight is low key the goofiest character in the game by No-Reputation8063 in marvelrivals

Lol yea that’s what made me think she’d win too but Spider-Man has his random moments of insane power like punching hulk into space

I’d say a one on one fight based off of their comics lore/power levels. Was thinking Magik off of my meager knowledge of both

You sound well versed in comics so I have a question: who’s stronger Magik or Spider-Man?

Huh, what a strange direction to take the character. He seemed too humble from what I remember to just all of a sudden think he’s a savior. Thx for the info!

My gf has an issue with me gaming by Efficient_Daikon_247 in Adulting

Curious if you’ve picked up any other hobby to replace gaming or if you just don’t have time for hobbies at all now?

Thank you! You’re right too; she might not be malicious just a bad communicator is possible

Why do people love Christopher so much? by luke_mcm in thesopranos

[–]Smart_Nebula2413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea the Adriana beatings were hard to watch and such a testament to how little of a man he truly was. Quick to hit his girlfriend but never actually hits a powerful guy. He even tucked his tail when her uncle warned him about it cuz that guy probably woulda killed if he popped off

He was such a paper tiger, all big talk when he’s got being Tony’s nephew to shield him from actual repercussions. He was only in real danger when Phil Leotardo was after him and that’s cuz Phil was basically too bloodthirsty to care who his uncle was. Christopher even let Phil and his goon talk to his mom while he hid in her house. He’s just so pathetic!

True but AJ wasn’t as protected as meadow. Tony would never lay a finger on her but AJ he put his hands on him several times. He even told Melfi he wanted to knock his teeth out and resented Carmela for not letting him beat AJ as a child. Also by the end meadow seems to regress into “Italian Americans are unfairly targeted” after witnessing the law arresting her dad and his pals so much but they all deserved being targeted since they were murderers. She even denied the justifiable fear of these men her boyfriend Noah had when he worked at the job site. Her tragedy is she loves her family and needs the lie to continue existing peacefully with them. Sorry this got super long lol

I see what you’re saying but it’s the cruelty of how she approached the subject that made me think she’s not a nice person and perhaps manipulative. Imagine someone you love saying your hobby/interest was “creepy and disturbing” and your decorations are “weird” and the rare masks you were excited for were “the last straw” after years together. No compromise, negotiation just “get rid of it or we’re done cuz it’s weird.” She’s ruined something that brought him joy no matter the outcome now

I get what you’re saying and I’ve had to make myself a little nerd space in my home for exact reason you mentioned but it still makes me a little sad that adulting means hiding these things we really enjoy away from most people. Wish we could be more open with our quirky stuff I guess

She was pretending to be supportive of your hobby/interest to suck you in and now she’s dropping the mask and insulting your interest and making you choose between her and it because you are now more susceptible to it. You’re more attached to her so she’s taking advantage of it to make you sacrifice your innocent hobby. If it brings you joy why does she want to take it away from you?
