[@billymarino4452]

As violent and trigger prone Richie Aprile was, I get the sense that he didn't really start shit with people who weren't involved in the life. He even tried to go relatively easy on David at first (he tells him to not come around any more games until he repays his debt, we all know how that went). And it's not as unrealistic as it sounds. F.B.I agent Joe Pistone said that most of the mafia members and associates he ran with, even the particularly violent ones, were cordial to people who weren't involved in the street life. Only one guy, Tony Mirra, was an asshole and bully to civilians. On one podcast Pistone talked about how he was waiting in line with Mirra to use a payphone, Mirra got impatient, and threw the guy out of the booth. And there were other incidents where he would harass waitstaff at restaurants and bars. Needless to say, Mirra's death was no great loss to society.

But I mean Richie is a guy that wants revenge (Beansie), makes mistakes (coke on garbage routes), gives away a Jacket, and after he feels disrespected by Tony he wants a change in management that he later abandons when he realizes he can't muster the support.

If you watch closely at the beginning of the scene, the way Beansie snaps his fingers viciously at the guy behind the counter in my opinion is a subtle not to the way Beansie treats the average man.

Beansie is a snake and should have expected this, though Rich goes too far later this seems fair enough.

[@MrRiddleAW]

You might have a point. I was wondering what he snapped his fingers for, but I thought he did it because he was enjoying the mood or something.

Man it was a bummer when Richie died such an exciting character

[@Chameleonardodavinci]

He had such fury, he was in fact the most furious character of them all, Phil was more bitter rage stemming from wounded pride but Richie was just pure malice borne out of nowhere, born mobster who loved getting his hands dirty. It's almost like he didn't care about the money he was owed beyond it being a means for him to inflict carnage on people. He was just a rabid dog. David Proval is crazy good, it's weird seeing him in Shawshank and other things.

[@GabrielNicho]

@@leoross5777 Was he though? How? He helps Janice with money etc, gives away a jacket. He only turns on Tony after he feels disrespected (Janice goads him), then he hits Janice after a long series of frustrations when she challenges him why it matters if his son is gay.

[@anthonycruciani939]

Richie really shoulda waited for that Veal parm sammie before beating Beansie. Sounded pretty good.

[@GabrielNicho]

I love when he says "that man wants to talk to you", the song goes "oh oh oh" lol, and Beansie looks worried.

[@MrRiddleAW]

Imagine what things would have been like if Jackie Aprile was still alive and acting boss when Richie got out of prison. I think it would have made the rivalry between Richie and Tony all the more better. Personally I think they could have held off on Jackie's death for a later time in the show.

[@KS-xk2so]

Honestly It would probably end up being Jackie with Tony's help trying to control asshole Richie. Rich would've become capo of his crew again, but Tony and Jackie, his kid brother and his brothers friend, were now his boss, and his equal. It would probably be more like Feech La Mana. Just an old pain in the ass, that they eventually get rid of without killing, lol

[@thomassaehler9038]

James Gandolfini really wanted to keep David Proval character on going. But David Chase and the boys had him going out by pissing of Janice

I’ve seen Goodfellas 100 times, but I never noticed that Beansie was Henry Hill’s coke dealer until the last time I watched it. It’s like half the Sopranos crew came straight from Goodfellas, but they reference Godfather a lot more

[@neomcdoom]

Probably because it brings up weird issues about the fact that goodfellas has multiple characters that look exactly like the people in the show

[@AdamFerrari64]

Richie was an awesome villain

[@DarkFilmDirector]

I like that Richie treats regular civilians and family members of his associates with the utmost respect, yet absolutely ruthless with other criminals and associates if they are in his way. The way he just reassures and politely declines the unnecessary attention from the part timer that Beansie is trying to use placate him. If he toned down his aggression just a tad with the other made guys or business associates he might have been more respected and could have realistically usurped Tony for his position. Obviously him quick jabbing Janice was out of line but.... I mean she was extremely manipulative and brought out the worst in him.
