Jimmy is almost unconsciously unresponsive to threats, challenges, and whimsies posed to him by the characters with whom he is confronted. That is an individual that has bore witness to such atrocities that he is no longer effected by trivialities. War will do that.

[@treynelson4946]

Yep.

[@niteowl2397]

It's funny cause later Manny manages to intimidate him into slicing the guy's throat.

[@GlennShook]

It wasn’t intimidation that he did that. Nobody could intimidate him. He just would get tired of hearing something or didn’t want to keep arguing about something he would do it. It being slice throat or try to have Nucky killed. He was scared of no one. Plus slicing his throat instead of shooting like manny prob expected showed what level jimmy was on as a bad ass.

[@brodyman1231]

Allen Iverson I think that scene had more to do with Jimmy’s inability to navigate obstacles within his business. He made poor business decisions and was inexperienced with power plays and positioning at the top. Jimmy was an effective soldier he wasn’t a very good politician. That’s why at the veterans memorial opening Jimmy came up to Nucky and said “you don’t think I know how to play this game?” And Nucky says to Jimmy “I don’t even think you know the rules” it all ended up being true unfortunately

@@deathrager2404 Yes, Michael Pitt was hard to work with, however, storywise, i think was also the feeling that Manny gave to jimmy, like a father authority figure. As we all know from jimmy's upbringing, that never set in well with him. For starter's his relationship with the commodore, or the reunion with the elders at the mansion when he got hit by one of them for not taking things seriously, ending in a reckless retaliation. As @Brendissimo points out, Manny's patience was strong, specially towards jimmy because, eventho the meeting was a success and he saw in jimmy a man on the come and saw him as a kid that could learn, he knew business was business, 5k or 500k didn't matter. By the time Jimmy pushed doyle off the second floor at babbette's, he knew jimmy didn't have what it takes to keep his affairs in order, or learn by that matter.

ISUPK KENTUCKY Jimmy set his family up to be touched when he started conducting meetings out of his home. It's why Remus commented on it, when they meet. Not only is it unprofessional, but it's flat out dangerous in that line of work. All it takes is one snitch (Mickey) to give up information, and he had good reason, when Jimmy got too bigheaded by throwing Doyle off the ledge infront of Manny. Even though, Capone or Luciano were probably gonna whack him eventually. Jimmy didn't have the makings of a Boss. He knew how to enforce, but was sloppy at running an operation. Soured what could've been a good alliance with Philly, over a 5K advance. Had Jimmy honored his word, Manny would've been out of town muscle like Frankie Yale to Capone.

Jimmy wanted all the power without putting in the work

[@unkownuser5809]

@Northern Wolf exactly, but it didn't help that Nucky treated him like shit when he got back from war, and actually was mad a Jimmy for even going to war. He was fucked either way trying to please Nucky

[@unkownuser5809]

Of course he was mad, he raised Jimmy basically, and set him up for political success, meanwhile James dumbass is off at college having sex with his mom and beating up professors. He volunteered for the war, he wasn't some victim of the draft. He threw everything away Nucky built between the two.

William is a very good actor. Liked him since I first seen him in DEAD BANG

[@stevebuscemi5544]

Don’t know what it is about this scene, but it’s just so satisfying

Manny is like if a giant bear became a man

[@skycorrigan6511]

Such an amazing actor. He should've been more popular

[@soysauce1219]

That's the same guy that did Gravano in the 90's. William Forsythe plays a hell of a gangster.

[@RedmundR2]

These two actors apparently had a fist fight during Jimmys death scene xD

[@GD1082]

I genuinely liked Manny as a character, I was pissed they killed him off and let characters like Gyp Rosetti exist longer.

[@surrealisticvision9009]

Manny wouldn't have been dead if he didn't kill Jimmy's wife, that was a dark twist from him ngl

[@GlennShook]

He tried to scare Jimmy and Jimmy didn't even bat an eye. So awesome.

[@dexagalapagos]

Avram was my favorite character, I wish they did more with him.

Eastern State is scary old place...it’s open for tours.
