There are things I liked about it. It was interesting to see Dickie's story. Overall though, it doesn't hold a candle to the series it was based on, and while I'll likely rewatch the show many times in my life, I can only imagine coming back to Many Saints as a bizarre curiosity.

[@theroyalwraith]

Thank god they didn’t go with this. Not only would it ruin Junior’s character, it would make the events of the show make literally zero sense. What about all the Sunday dinners they had as a family? Why would Janice ever let Junior anywhere near her daughter and step children?

[@philmangini1728]

Sadly you're wrong which is why this idea is so insidious. People bury things and move on. They hide the pain and truth for the sake of the wider family and do things you cant belive unless youce seen it like bringing kids to a known abuser. The fact that janice had a cordial relationship is not out of character at all for a victim. And as far as junior telling richie about a light wallet or tony about a gas stove left on is also in keeping. For one if this idea were true janice would feel rage and try to hurt or kill junior without any suspicion falling on her whatsoever. It also makes sense that junior wpuld piss in the ear of anyone she may choose to confide in. We also easily forget about tonys second sister. Both sisters vanish around early adulthood? This subplot is abhorrent and meanspirited but the subtext is there. Uncle Junior has always been a piece of #!$@ Again the idea is repulsive. And hollywood may be tryung to normalize it but it mightve had a hidden value. People think of predators like theyre darth vader, obviously evil. But they arent. Abuse can be both subtle and hidden in plain sight.

[@theroyalwraith]

@ Don’t get me wrong, Junior is a POS. But I don’t think he would stoop to that. Although it’s not exactly analogous, he seemed genuinely outraged when he found out his tailor’s kid grandson died. I don’t think he would have gone out of his way to have the guy responsible dealt with if the protection of children weren’t a genuine conviction of his. He’s no doubt an evil man, but I think he had some lines he wouldn’t cross. As for Janice and Barb leaving home, I think Livia and Johnny Boy were more than enough reason to get away. Maybe I could believe another character would overlook something like that, but Janice? She killed Ritchie the moment he hit her. She plays the victim constantly throughout the show, and much like the rest of her family launches into rage or hysterics at the drop of the hat. I don’t think she’d stay silent in the one instance where she’d be wholly justified in speaking up. All in all I just don’t see it. It just seems like a way to make Junior out to be more evil, which is just kind of unnecessary.

[@BigMuff520]

@@shivahuggins1276this is exactly how it goes. ESP back then. I’m about the age Janice would be and when I was a kid, if you got molested and spoke up, you got in trouble for it and if you kept your mouth shut and pretended it never happened, maybe someone would buy you a nice dinner or something you really wanted. Then kids learn they have to accept their abusers. Abusers as well tend to convince the kids what they are doing is because they’re special and dress it up as special attention and adoration. It more often comes with gifts and adoration rather than force and verbal abuse. I was a clinician in a women’s shelter for years. Heard this story over and over every day. As a clinician who has worked with the abused and abusers as well, Junior strikes me as the type.

One of the things I dont like about the movie is how much worse it made alot of the show characters. Yes they were bad guys but most of them had some kind of redeemable qualities and were relatable. Johnny Boy in the show was shown as charismatic and Junior was still pretty intelligent and had wisdom despite his insecurities. In the movie, Johnny Boy is just a grumpy asshole and Junior is already senile in his 30's. The writers probably don't like that there's fans who supposedly idolize these characters but at the same time being likeable and charming is literally part of what they do.

[@TheHarbingerofAutism]

The story says she completely repressed it to the point that it took hallucinogenic drugs for her to unintentionally remember. If the story had remained, then it's likely she would've repressed them again, after her talk with Dickie, as it could be explained that she was still under the influence of the drugs when she told him. Also, childhood abuse is not as easy to overcome, as you make it seem. I'm no psychiatrist, but that much is easy to understand. There's a difference between experiencing abuse as a helpless child who can't begin to fathom why something like that is happening vs. experiencing abuse as an adult who can understand things like that.

[@Geileguru]

Janice tried to kill him when she was young. She didn’t put the gas out in his kitchen. Junior caught her putting the flame out

[@candle-jack]

@TheHarbingerofAutism Who said anything about overcoming the trauma? It's her psychological makeup that made Janice pull out a weapon. I'm saying within the framework that Janice, as a character, is depicted in the show, it is hard to believe she would let Junior live happily in front of her face. If not, with her own hands, she would have gotten someone to do it. It would be hard for me to reconcile that idea with Janice from the show. Also, repression is not, as matter of fact, an idea in psychology like it is in TV shows and movies. To add double repression (full repression again after recovering the memory) is a dubious prospect.

Sopranos was already woke with johnncakes, the "black jew" at college having sex and treating tony's daughter like an afterthought. And Tony saying it's ok to be gay in prison.

[@villiannewyork]

If you wanna add that element to it whatever I guess, not that I think it adds much. But to have it be Uncle Jun is just insane and disgusting.

[@Pezint]

@@villiannewyork The undertone of Junior ordering the hit on Chris father's and Paulie or that cop Chris killed not being the one who did it also changes the tone of the series. And chase said, "I should have watched the series again before writing the movie". You can't add something into the canon that doesn't even remember or account for what came before. I mean you can do it but the integrity of the show is severely damaged from the chaotic tone shifts, retcons, and implications.

He's been to priests about it. He could probably get a letter from his church.

When Jr. found out about this he was going to have Dave Chase whacked at Vesuvio. I mean being a bushman of the Kalahari is bad enough.

the worst part is how good the scene actually is. The dialogue really fits the characters, the tone is just right. But good lord, they should tell this kind of story with new original characters. I feel like they’re shoving it in there just because they *had* to make a sopranos movie

[@Kira1Lawliet]

Cutting this was a good decision not just because it feels like out-of-nowhere shock value, but also because what happened in the finished cut not only feels so much like what Junior would do, but it was the ONE part of the movie that felt true to the spirit of The Sopranos. Junior has Dickie whacked for nothing more than a slight against his ego. And this coming from a series where 90% of the tragedy and conflict that happens is a result of gossip, hearsay, bruised egos, or the ever-treacherous "breakin' balls".

[@foxyhooligans]

Was probably a fake script like they did with Season 6

Dude, I normally love your videos. However, you're cracking me up on this one. You're actually mad, disgusted about a part of the movie that you're glad they didn't add. This should be a video about how great of a choice that was. Also, as movies are being written, all kinds of odd ideas are explored.

[@drunkdave5677]

Hold up. Janice is 8 years old in this scenario? This is at the end of the movie? Janice is older than Tony and Tony is a teenager in the latter half of the movie. And she really did acid at 8 years old? Makes no sense to me even as an early draft.

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

The acid unlocked suppressed memories

[@ClaytonTheCracker]

It would've taken place later in the timeline I'm sure

[@Xenaman]

🤦🤦🤦that happened in the past.... is that so hard to understand? The acid unlocked here suppressed memory and triggered here PTSD. Janice tells Montisanto what happened WHEN she was 8 years old.

[@VictorNieves-o3o]

No. Janice would’ve been a teen, but she recalled the abuse from when she was 8.

[@drunkdave5677]

Yes, thank you everyone. I misunderstood. I thought he touched her both some time ago and then again when she was doing the acid. Next time I won't play minesweeper as I watch the video.

[@flameguy3416]

Many scenes in Newark felt unnecessary

[@psychobiddy]

I think Chase wanted to redeem Livia and Janice in the film. And that's fine as an idea, they were presented too much like one-dimensional villains on the show. And both of their behavior could actually be the result of trauma. But if THAT was route he wanted to take, he should've introduced a whole new character as the molester. Maybe Livia's father and Janice's grandfather (it would explain Janice's and Livia's complex relationship as well to have them be bonded by this shared trauma). But NOT completely destroy an already established and generally well-liked character. That's the worst idea I've ever heard. Plus, none of Janice's and Junior's interactions on the show would make any sense if this were true.

[@tonytoes0]

I think there is a knee jerk reaction among some people to make any evil done by women to be the result of athe woman being victimized by a man. Are there any female villains in pop culture who are just evil?

[@allgonewrongful]

@@tonytoes0 That's a fair point.

More proof that The Sopranos directors never watched the show before writing The Many Saints of Newark. It wouldn't have made sense both plot and character arc wise. Timeline got fucked up.

[@NuncNuncNuncNunc]

David Chase, the creator of The Sopranos never watched The Sopranos before writing The Many Saints of Newark? Note: writers write, directors director, sometimes it is the same person. Chase directed two episodes and wrote 24. Konner, the cowriter of The Many Saints wrote two episodes and directed none.

Theres nothing in the show to suggest Junior is a weirdo?? Ok buddy.

[@thomasspengler9044]

It does not feel like Janice’s character at all to bring her step children around the man that abused her as a child. She attacks a woman at a children’s soccer game because the woman’s child was too rough with Sofia. And we’re supposed to believe she would then bring that same child around Junior for Sunday dinner? The same woman that gunned down Richie and pushed Ralph down a flight of stairs is too scared to cut junior out of her and her Children’s lives?

[@ChosenOne1991]

The movie was an abomination. A trash piece of shit waste of time. They butchered the characters & background stories. Made a bullshit DEI plot which made no fuckin sense. Woke Joked the whole story. Going from having the mob get smashed by low level black st hoods. Which would never have happened in the 70s. They wouldn't have dared. Especially during the height of the mobs power. Then a Black riot that had absolutely nothing to do with the mob. No I'll will towards the cast though. Alessandro Nivolo was fantastic as Dickie. Thank God they didn't do that to Juniors character. The whole movie was a shit show. Chase needs to redeem himself. He lost his touch by GAF about what people think. Instead he should have gone his old way by not GAF. Never compromising his characters & stories. For cheap studio propaganda agenda's.

[@Deeeeezeeeee]

Junior was many things!!! A Clam eater yes! Mr Maggoo Yes? But these allegations are Slander if you ask me lol
