I wonder what you think about Livia? One of the better scenes is when Tony runs away from her, falls and his gun falls out. For me, she is the sickest character in the story. Pure evil.

[@jelenastojanovic5086]

Yes, Livia is pure manipulative psychopath, a pure evil😳☹ that is one of the main reason I feel empathy with Tony, she was horrible to him

[@philbuttler3427]

Tony is pure evil. Like did you watch season 6?

[@natedogg890]

It's funny that most people won't acknowledge that Livia and Tony are the two most similar characters in the entire series. Tony parrots her word for word over and over without realizing and often behaves exactly like her. They had such a toxic relationship because both of them idealized Johnny Boy and displaced their anger and resentment towards to him completely onto the other. They both had they're opportunities to break the cycle when Johnny Boy was alive and they didn't take it, just like every character in the Sopranos that choose misery instead of self improvement

[@nataliazivanovic4399]

@@natedogg890 ,

[@nataliazivanovic4399]

Both Johhny and Livia are deeply disturbed people. The two of them take credit for the fact that their children are deeply disturbed. But a mother who plans the execution of her own son with his uncle is more than disturbing, if we consider that it is the Coza Nostra and mothers who care for their children, especially boys. In general, that world is not normal. Dave Chase did a great job describing them.

[@chris_player2995]

"Mr. Type-A personality" is my favorite comment

[@csc4781]

And the Tony’s response to it “we’re here to talk about you killing yourself with drugs not my FUCKIN PERSONALLY!

[@xxczerxx]

4:15 it was definitely the latter; Chris took it as an ego hit as Paulie was suggesting Chris never intended -- or could bring himself -- to shoot Tony. Actually one of the rare times Paulie shows something resembling compassion, I think he said it to defuse the situation as he doesn't want Chris to get hurt, rather than directly trying to knock Chris's ego.

[@garethtaylor1470]

Very true, one of the worst scenes (yet also funny) was when Furio announced to everyone within a mile radius that Tony Soprano is here, right there sat at a table discussing business with a group of other Mafia members and that his car is parked a distance away! 🙋🏻‍♂️👋 👨🏻‍🦯💬“Tonaaay I hadda parka tha car all da way ova dare I got to ahhhhh fucka me ata lega arghhh!” 🧍🏻‍♂️🩼❄️

[@murraykelm5691]

Just shows how evil Tony truly was, he was willing to throw Carmela and the family away, and start again with Adriana, and a few episodes later sends her to her death without thinking twice.

[@Xumal]

Jesus christ i never thought about it like that

[@Th1sIsMyLegacy]

It also shows how stupid Adriana is. Chris abused her and ratted her out killed, but he cared about her too. Tony didn't give a shit about her and directly had her killed. Chris is also younger, more attractive and is clearly being groomed to take over as boss one day. Attractive capo in his 30s and future boss or overweight balding boss in his late 50s. Hmmmmm

Must be analyzed scenes🙏: 1. Tony and Ralph decideing Jackie Jr fate, briliant scene where both of them try to wash their hands of soon-to-be-spilled blood of Jackie Jr. 2. Gloria Trillo's break up, her psyche and resemblece of Livia. 3. Johnny Sack entering the room with a scared look on his face, after the hit put on his life by Carmine Sr/Tony and the simultaneous canceled hit of his own on Ralph... Its something left unsaid and unseen in the show... did Johnny Sack knew something? P.S. These analyses are gold.

Chris was a loose cannon and an addict so he obviously couldn’t be trusted. But I feel that if Paulie and Patsy did conspire to kill Tony as there is overwhelming evidence to suggest.. THIS would be the time to start the conversation with Chris.

Pointing out that Tony is a serial philanderer isn't an _ad hominem,_ it is bringing up an extremely relevant character trait showing a clear pattern of behaviour which supports Chris's suspicions.

The very first scene when Feech Lamana first comes back home and is Junior’s kitchen with Junior and Bobby.. Tony comes in.. then they all sit down and Feech asks to get “back in the game”… Tony then looks at Junior… and Junior gives Tony a nod. It happened very discreetly.
