>>219248526He was old-school and out of his element. Very hard character not to like, especially compared with everyone else on the show. I think one of the weirdest things about The Sopranos is how much Phil is basically a retread of Richie.
Very first scene he was in outted him as a maniac with anger issues.
>>219248702Beansie was way out of line. First off, Richie put in him in action. Second off, Richie is a captain and brother of the former boss, why do you think a civilian can tell him to fuck off? Not even Chris could get away with that.
>>219248702You know that's how the mafia works right? I remember the first time I watched the show I thought the same, but after several screenings I finally got the message: that's how a mafioso is supposed to act and the only reason he got framed as the bad guy is because they needed an antagonist. But in restrospect he didn't do anything that Tony wouldn't have done.
>>219248526Janice was obviously a mistake though
>>219248841Small correction: except beating his wife because Tony was too mych of a sissy to put Carm in her place.
>>219248789Yeah yeah build the fuckin ramp
>>219248526Beansie didn't owe him shit, and even if he did, Richie failed to collect>try to make peace with the bossConspired to take him out like 3 days after he got out of jail>and again with diamond jimHe laid hands on one of the boss' customers on the big card game and got taxed by getting paid late>randomly lose bidsHe lost those bids because he had been a pain in the ass to Tony since he got out (those who want respect, give respect)>get framed for shooting Christopher by Matt drinkwaterThat had 0 repercussions for him>>219248841Did Tony ever try to kill DiMeo or Jackie Aprile or bitch to them constantly about how things work? Richie was kind of stupid
>>219248983>Did Tony ever try to kill DiMeoTony put a hit on junior
>the jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacket
>give the boss your legendary leather jacket>maid's husband is wearing itOof. How much does a man have to take?
>>219248913How about I build a ramp up to your ass and drive Ginny's mole into it
>>219248526Guy chose to date Janice, he had it coming. At least with Bobby she had to do some intense psychological manipulation to get him to fuck her.
>>219249057That never happened
Janice was a cunt. Tone shoulda had her whacked
Interesting thought experiment and edgy take on Richie. But he was a psycho. You can't run an organization with such a guy
>>219248983t. graduate of slip and fall school
>>219248526>do 10 years, not a peepwouldn't shut up about it right after those 10 years
Did Ritchie have a prison bitch or was he the prison bitch?
>>219248526his approach to Beansie was textbook street thug, even if he ever became a significant player, he had no strategy, even Junior says so, "he couldn't sell it."
>>219249208Being a manlet I'm sure he was the bitch
>>219249178You’re wrong. Richie did meditation and yoga in the can. He’s changed. When he gave Tony the jacket, he was being genuine and accepting his place as Capo, marrying his sister, just making money and literally hanging up the past. He says so to Tony and Tony spits in his face.
do garbagemen in new jersey really sell coke off the back of their trucks?
>>219249278The jacket was a power move. He was basically reminding Tony who he was and why he should be respected but Tony wasn't having it.
>>219249319That's anti italian slander!
>>219248664Seconding this. The show is about the degradation of the country through the lens of the degradation of the mafia. Richie did everything right and gets nothing for it because his boss, who got his position through nepotism, finds him annoying
>>219248877Why was it not a mistake for Bobby?
>>219249178i always wondered why richie was so lenient on davey in the beginning, because davey was "friends" with tony?
>>219249723He saw the same thing Tony saw, he’s a fish with a store he will always be able to pay up
>>219248664the big bad in every season is the same thing with a different character
>>219249723He's a gambling addict and has a successful business, better to slap him on the wrist than scare him off from ever borrowing from Richie again.
>>219249711Maybe Bobby could handle her better. Maybe he didn't let her rile him up so much. Maybe he was whipped. But punching her in the face and then getting murdered for it is not a desirable outcome.
>>219249723It was just a stutter step
>>219248841>You know that's how the mafia works right? Assuming you are talking about how it worked in old timey gangster films, Sopranos wasn't trying to be like those films.
