How do Carmela, Irina, Gloria, Svetlana and Valentina compare? A Sopranos character evaluation

In this episode we will evaluate Carmela, Irina, Gloria, Svetlana and Valentina in terms of what they represent to Tony, such as what he wants, what he cant have and different aspects of himself, as well as why they were attracted to him, what they want from him and, in comparing them along those lines, we will see who really was the best choice for Tony.

[@bullywhispers9544]

Thoughts?

[@bradhorowitz2765]

While I agree with you that Carmela is the best choice for Tony-the only one who really is the better person is svetlana. She knew who Tony was and wouldn’t take the bait. She was opposite of Carmela; Independent and with a strong moral code. I do think she would have been a better partner to any decent rational person and that’s saying something considering she herself was a mobster

[@katana2k]

Tony is with different women every time we see him in the VIP at the Bada Bing. When before Ralph kills Tracee, we see Tony with his arm around some woman, and when Paulie makes that joke about how Chrissy's daughter will be a stripper, we see T with another young woman. He also drools over Ade's friend, the FBI agent, in front of his wife and kids, when she's brought to his house during dinner. He flirts with Charmaine Bucco, and Connie DiSapio (Barone Sanitation). He reports to a strip club for work. I think it's safe to assume that Carm's assessment of the situation is correct; he's fucking catchers mitts whenever we don't see him on-screen. They just don't bother showing it every time.

[@BillBraskyy]

Dude, I never realized that both things tony took from Ralphie went up in flames until you mentioned it... I mean, I've seen the whole series 7 times now, and I've never noticed that. Also in his dreams post-Ralph, the car dream where he said he was hot (Paulie said hell is hot), then the old house with the scary shadow woman aka the ghost of Livia in the stairwell, and it was Ralph who lead Tony to the house, thus the theory of Ralph representing Satan/the devil in Tony's dreams, where he also brings Tony toward death (who I think Shadow Livia represents death/The Reaper), and the two things he accepted or took from "the devil" happened to leave tony (or get taken/stollen away from Tony) via engulfed in flames...

I loved when Svetlana dumped Tony. He couldn’t handle a woman using him for a one-time thing and being the one with the upper hand for once. She was able to keep things casual and it bamboozled him.

[@robertlee4172]

True, but...quite possible, it was out of self preservation. She weighed her options, based on what Irina told her, Tony's situation, business, family and history. Sveta bailed on Tony, to dedicate herself to Bill and his Mets. The fact that she cheated on Bill, is troublesome enough. A lot of drama could come out of that relationship.

Your comparison between Irina and Gloria is spot on. The sbmissive Irina and what at first appeared the complete opposite, Gloria, traveled, independent, smart, strong willed yet under it all so so sick. Man those episodes when her issues took over, were depressing to watch. The dinner fight scene in her home still haunts me. Rest in Peace Tracee, nod to the comment below made to her But forr me, man I wish they could have done some flashbacks of a late teens early 20's Charmaine Bucco. Past or present, even compared to Dr. Melifi Charmaine was the strongest female character in the show. Think about it, many nights she was on Tony's mind...and Carm's also. They both, in different ways, wanted what she had . From whitecaps when Tony and Carm have a huge a fight. The weight lifter I bet was smoking hot. Carmela's comments: "You've had quite a time on my watch. The pre-school assistant... - the weightlifter..."

[@tedwojtasik8781]

Charmaine was without a doubt the hottest, and most put together woman in the show. Svetlana is a close second as she is emotionally stable, completely independent, and a virtual rock.

When the show first aired I thought Valentina was a phenomenal. As I aged she still holds a very seductive look, but the nails and persona are to tacky. Gloria theirs clearly a dynamic sexual presence due to her highly emotional and manipulative nature. She’s very sexy, but toxic clearly. Irene is gorgeous, but young. She would be my type currently. The least amount of baggage. Carmela I always found to be the worst of all. Who is she? She plays the role of mom and wife. But her motives seem material. She’s completely self absorbed where she can turn a blind eye to decades of murder, lies and serial affairs just as long as she can lavish in its material spoils. She doesn’t get enough attention in these types of character analysis. I put her in the same spectrum as Tony, just different motives and manipulation tactics. David Chase and these actors are possibly the last of a generation that could give us such masterpieces in storytelling

What's *BULLshit* is not only is Tony not attractive enough for every woman to thirst over him but also that he's on Prozac..and Prozac is popular for its libido issues, most commonly, sexual side effects.. from impotence to inorgasmia. There was a huge cast of main and supporting actors so the odds that ALL of the attractive women/girls(minus melfi) are throwing themselves at him like a bunch of savages is too unrealistic. I'm not only talking about his physical attractiveness..im including personality, body language, reliability, commitment, medicine and other factors.. If he was played by Leonardo Dicaprio, Brad Pitt or even Dickie Moltesante, I could understand top models begging for even a hug.. Anyway..

The whole Prozac thing was brought up in the show. Tony is everything you described him as, and the same can be said for most of the women he attracted with the exception of Svetlana. Those women are the same as Tony: shallow and self-centered, in the relationship for thrills and power, everything but real companionship.

A) psychiatrists RARELY provide psychotherapy..they mostly deal with meds/symptom management but there are exceptions..like on TV B) the show has way too many fans to just have Tony storm out all the time and never actually cover much except boundaries (the best portrayal imo)..so much of mental health professionals were watching and learning from this show while dr.melfi is practicing psychodynamic therapy (Freud) which is basically almost never used in modern day..but there are exceptions to everything C) and it was simply brought up..it was never followed up on as he's probably with a Bing girl in the next episode.

@@mitchbaker5995 there's a few reasons for that..the old man has life insurance, and no matter how physically unattractive they can be..being well groomed, confident & have a sense of humor about looks and ofc the $ that (if they're smart) can lead to wealth which leads to power and the women who are turned on by it..which btw is an anecdotal statement..many women want power of their own and are independent and smart enough to get it..They're lawyers, doctors, politicians, sex workers etc..even then they can still be attracted to being in a power couple relationship where both bring home the gabagool. If u look at empirical data, stats, research etc attraction is mostly based on familiarity (neighborhood or same friends), rapport, commitment and safety (which is sometimes represented by $ and sometimes by dating tall, strong men..and ofc a sense of humor, commonalities, differences etc. Those pickup artists don't like to use science but it doesn't mean that everything they say is gold. Some is psychopathic.. In any case..Tony is far from "ugly" but he's not the Calvin Klein model from fantastic worlds that some dream of. So my bad for not elaborating and there's def more

Better than Livia is a pretty low bar. Don’t try and kill your kid and you’ve more or less cleared it.
