[@jamesmcdougall7748]

[@hbo8412]

Neapolitan and Sicilian (Southern Italy's main local languages) are quite distinct from standard Italian (which stems from Florentine Renaissance language and only cultured Southern Italians speak as "main" language). Both have very strong Greek/Norman/French/Spanish influences. Sicilian also has some Arab influences because it was directly conrolled by Arabs for one century (unlike Naples which was controlled by Christian Byzantine Greeks during that period).

[@dodger1214]

Say what you want about Gyp but he was a badass character. And as it turned out, he was right about Lucky. Masseria underestimated Luciano and that was a huge mistake.

[@chazzzztastic]

He wasn’t right about him, Luciano only killed masseria after he put a hit out on him

[@yourboylads9626]

He also killed Joe because he made a deal with maranzano that if he killed his rival they would be seen as equals, plus, Joe honestly was a huge pain in the ass

[@2009worstyearever]

"Hey Joe, I failed you at holding down 20 blocks because I am riddled with rage and am incompetent but give me more responsibility please and more resources and I will definitely wont fail you at a much harder task than the much easier task I previously failed you."

doesn't matter what you say as long as you know HOW to say it. this guy would be very good at job interviews :)

[@5uckk]

Then proceeds to call him a future king, Gyp knew that all of these bosses were egomaniacs and psychopaths just like himself, well played. Van Helden got away from certain death just like that as well, Al Capone scene.

The conversations between Joe 'The Boss' and Gyp, I believe, were some of the best on the show. Very deep, almost everything Joe 'The Boss' says here implies a threat to Gyp and Gyp knows it. He has to use all his wit to stay alive and convince The Boss to give him another chance. Outstanding scene.

This was a win win situation for Masseria. If Rosetti took out Thompson, Lanksy, Rothstein etc then he had all the power, money, exports etc. He had undisputed power. He could then get rid of Rosetti himself. He let Rosetti take all the risks while he sat back and let Rosetti take down the mafia empire. However if Rosetti didn't succeed then as Masseria 'couldn't control him' then he was killed(Rosetti).

The only thing predictable about Gyp was that his insecurity always made him unpredictable, extremely reactive and easily drawn into needless conflict, though I believe at some level he was loyal to Joe you cant have a point man you have no control over and have no idea what mess he is going to land himself and by association you in.

+Ouroboros612 Yes. Not only has he caused trouble in New Jersey that Joe doesn't want, by being absent as long as he has, he's lost a lot of his designated turf in New York, which is also Joe's turf, as Gyp is one of his capos, and thus has cost him a lot of money.

[@hallmonitor98]

I never realized he was about to kill gyp, i thought he was just giving him a scolding

[@OBroIchain]

For Masseria this was a smart move. If Gyp succeeded in taking over Atlantic City Masseria would then absorb the entire operation and subsequently all of the profit, which would take everything to a whole new level. If Gyp failed, Masseria could just use him as a scapegoat and simply cut his losses, which at worst would be a few dozen dead soldiers and a dead capo who he couldn't control anyway. Rosetti was like a rabid dog who he could either kill or unleash on his enemies to do his dirty work, then he could just kill Gyp later. The risk was well worth the reward for Joe the Boss.
