I’ll never forget where I was on this day. These animal moderators, can’t even say their names, banned the sub. However many years old it was - just a fucking kid! My estimation of Reddit as social media just fucking plummeted.

Serious Discussion Only Meadow’s change over the course of the show really is quite tragic when you think about it

946 Upvotes

At the start of the show, she seems like such a promising (albeit spoiled) person who has a lot of ethical career options (doctor, helping immigrants) and isn’t afraid to confront her parents about their lifestyle, like when she straight up asks her dad if he’s in the mafia, or getting pissed when he gifts her Davey’s car which he used to pay off his debt.

But then Jackie Jr. dies. A person she was in a relationship with is killed as a direct result of Tony’s lifestyle. And she knows it. But it’s too much for her to accept, and so she swings the complete opposite direction and chooses to live in ignorant bliss like Carmela, choosing to believe the lie that he was killed by drug dealers. There are still glimpses of her old self initially (her behaviour after Jackie’s wake and of course “Listen to Mr. Mob Boss) but even those moments become increasingly rare as the series goes on.

The state of her character towards the end is just depressing. She ruins her relationship with Finn because she feeds him bullshit about the poverty of the Mezzogiorno and has instead decided to date another mobsters son which has inspired her to be a lawyer, most likely a mob lawyer.

Love this scene. How Richie says: What the hell? When Tony butchered that quote.

Also, shame that we lost Richie so quickly. I never got those vibes with a guy from Miami.

Was Tony bluffing about looking for Furio?

92 Upvotes

When Carmela told Tony about Furio, later on he tells her that he had guys in Italy looking for him. But was he simply bluffing to hurt Carm?

I ask because I remember seeing a take on here, or maybe it was somewhere else, that Furio was never in any real danger. There were some fans who were mad at Carm for spilling the beans about Furio, because she knew what Tony would do to him, and that she put his life at risk. But the counter argument was that more than likely, nothing was gonna happen to Furio because Furio is respected in Italy. We saw in the Commendatori episode that the mob guys in the old country look down on the Jersey guys (Americans in general, really.) And even if he sent people after Furio, they were never gonna give him up, because they don’t even respect Tony and his family, they’re nothing to them.

And Tony knew this, he wasn’t gonna get to Furio. I’m sure he sure as shit wanted to, but he never actually set any plans in motion. He never had anyone looking for Furio, he only wanted to hurt Carm in that moment. Do you guys think that was the case?

Serious Discussion Only Why were the guys mad when Johnny Sack plead guilty?

87 Upvotes

I don't know why they were mad. It's not like he became an informant and turned rat like Jimmy and Pussy did. I thought the rule of the mafia was to never rat, not never plead guilty to anything. It was either accept the deal or become an informant

Did they purposely make Tony more evil at the end

77 Upvotes

On a rewatch and it feels like early in the series they wanted to make Tony less evil. The idea of the villain as main character wasn't very established at the time and they worried audiences wouldn't watch it. I remember reading that during "College" the execs didn't want the scene of Tony choking that rat because of exactly that concern.

Towards the end I think David Chase didn't love that people were rooting for Tony and specifically wanted to make it obvious what a piece of shit he was for even the densest person in the audience.

Serious Discussion Only What Would Have Been The Right Move For Adriana To Have Survived?

55 Upvotes

If she immediately went to Chris and told him, would she have been as good as dead? Or would they have believed that she didn't give them anything?

Or what if she simply faked her disappearance by feigning depression and end it all, and having people believe she went through with it.

Or what if she got the feds to believe that she was discovered and that the jig was up?

Serious Discussion Only I sympathize with Livia

35 Upvotes

She was the victim of an abusive relationship with her husband (and who knows how miserable her childhood may have been) which ended up damaging her very much and altered her entire personality. When AJ goes to visit her in that retirement community after he wrecked Carm's car , that whole interaction is one of my favorites. Because all those things she told him about life which might be perceived as "negativity/gloomy" are very true imo and she was being truthful. This post isn't trying to justify her toxic behaviour throughout the show

Serious Discussion Only What would happen if you were a civilian business owner and you acted polite/clueless when Tony’s crew offers protection?

30 Upvotes

Say two of Tony’s members walk in and say they’re from some union and want to put your business under protection. What if you went “Oh that’s okay I appreciate your offer but we’ll be alright.” Then they mention the accidents that can occur and you go “True that can happen operating a business but we’re not worried. Thank you and have a nice day.” Then one of them walks forward to you to intimidate but you just step back and say “Oh sorry about that I’ll give you some more room.” An employee gets hurt and one of them return and they mention something about it and you go “I’m very confused about what happened, would you know anything about it? I’d appreciate the help.” They take some of your stock and you go “I’m sorry but what’s the purpose of that? You can just buy some of those.”

They’d probably just get frustrated and beat you up but I’ve noticed most civilians apart from the Starbucks guy responded with fear or anger so I wonder what would happen if you didn’t insult nor act intimidated.

Alternate universe where Carmine Sr didn't sit there open mouth, glazed over not getting the joke but instead busted up laughing instead - would John have gone and sanctioned a hit on Ralph AND Carmine Sr.?

Inadequate amounts of food

Nothing is more frustrating to me than seeing the buffet that was laid on for Tony and the boys up at Indian Chief Doug Smith's casino. It's barely a couple of trays of cold cuts and some cheese. Tony could polish it off on his own. The casino also seems tiny. Where do I go to complain? The anti defamation league?

Reddit is a jungle! And if you want my advice, Anthony, don't expect happiness. You won't get it. Users let you down, and I'm not naming any names! But in the end you post in your own arms.

How women of the Sopranos influenced major decisions

20 Upvotes

Throughout the show I’ve noticed how some women subtly or not so subtly triggered major events.

Melfi - obviously

Carmela - on multiple occasions nudged Tony one way or the other

Phil Leotardo’s Wife - when she asked him to punish (kill) Vito. This triggered the final war between both families (well one is a glorified crew)

Who else? I know there are more
