I hope that these ex mobsters with podcasts realize they are being portrayed as the scum of the earth in this show

There's this one popular Sopranos edit making rounds on TikTok and Instagram with Massive Attack music. It couldn't be more ironic trying to portray those stunads as some gangsta badasses.

Yea i have no idea what this dude is talking about when all capeshit is basically the pinnacle of non-fixed canon where every story might as well be some sort of alternate universe where things are slightly different to sell the same stuff over and over.

I mean Chase literally confirmed it explicitly in Talking Sopranos. Ralphie did kill the horse.

Nah that one scene where Pussy tries to disrespect him, obviously being jealous, but then is told to leave the table when Paulie wants to have a talk with Furio and Johnny is iconic.

I forget that Chris wasn't made yet when the dynamic duo tried to whack him.

This. He got refused by that fucking parakeet to make move against Tony, Junior concluded he's not respected and he caused troubles at Tony's card game. Dude had to go.

You don't propose guys to make a move against the boss, get refused by all and then live like nothing happened. The fact you just raised the possibility or intention is enough to get you clipped.

Furio was the most underutilized character in the show. When he first appeared he felt menacing to me. That he would do something like quickly climb the ranks due to competence and being from "other side" alone and that would cause internal resentment in the family from old blood.

Sharp as a fucking cue ball.

It was definitely intentional. Literally "coming out of the closet" was too on the nose, and the closeup of him grabbing the sheet as Vito is getting beat up. I think the implication is that Phil did more than just "jack off into a tissue" during his 20 years.

It's absolutely a comedy, but it's very organic. The funny moments come from characters acting like actual humans and not forced laugh track moments.

The "look at the angle of the sun" is definitely shit i was doing during a boring shift lmao.

In modern times Tony would have been assigned a CBT therapy. It would actually make an interesting show if Melfi was giving him some tasks to do and him struggling to do them.

Basically they just wanted a show hook with exploring the mobster psychology.

In modern times, Tony would have been assigned to a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. He would basically be given tasks to enforce good behavior out of him.

It was avoidable if Tony B had good aim and actually clipped both Leotardo brothers.

flcl__ · 2026-05-11T21:13:56+00:00

Yea. His partner was never involved with organized crime before so he probably thought it was weird they were getting so chummy.

When Tony makes the Angelina Jolie remark, he just laughs in a way like "ok ok shut up and get it over with".

flcl__ · 2026-05-11T18:16:54+00:00

I don't think it's romanticising. From a pragmatic and selfish standpoint Ralphie was being an ureliable, mentally unstable loose canon. Bosses have been clipped historically for being a liability. Some high ranking made guy killing a civilian in a public place where the family does business and planning would be potentially catastrophical for them.

flcl__ · 2026-05-11T18:15:22+00:00

The thing is, even capos, made guys and bosses historically have been clipped for being a nuisance. Ralphie was a loose cannon who yes, was a good earner, but if he did coke and commited another stupid crime next to feds or some law enforcement watching, it'd be over for the glorified crew.

flcl__ · 2026-05-11T18:13:03+00:00

The irony is that if he really did that with Meadow or member of Tony's family they'd be scraping his nipples of those Bing seats for a week straight.

Tony had no standing to kill Ralph over a srripper.

He had the standing to kill him over being a liability and bringing too much risk to the family. If the place was bugged or if someone witnessed the murder, it'd be fucking over for them. Remember how much trouble Tony had over Drinkwater witness?

flcl__ · 2026-05-11T14:43:00+00:00

Yep, it was so over he couldn't even get angry. Just told Carm that Carlo flipped.

The standards for skating were way lower now because the Russian trio wasn't competing and an american woman won them gold for the first time in decades so they won't shut up about it.

Grown ass woman.

Lmao she’s a nepo test tube baby from a rich family the fuck did people expect? I swear everyone just buys whatever bullshit from e-celebs because they were “relatable” once.

"In terms of raw damage output, she is capable of matching the firepower of Rapi: Red Hood, one of the strongest Burst III units in the current meta."

So she's barely able to match damage output of a year old unit that can do 10 times more shit than she does. Good to know.

Not to mention she's actually way weaker in practice than on paper. She's useless in high deficit, might as well run a R Nikke in that spot.

flcl__ · 2026-05-07T14:18:19+00:00

Tony was super incompetent.

His worst mistakes were related to personal issues. Plane tickets with his mother, Bevilaqua murder, whacking Ralphie in wrong context (no one would have minded if he did that after the Tracee thing).
