The show never made it feel like it was even worth it to be in the Mafia. Chris just seemed like he did alright. His apartment with Adrianna wasn't even that nice, neither was his car. Tony was doing good, but he was basically the only one.
being a junkie didn't help
Did you not watch season 6 where he bought a nice house and was driving the king of New Yorks Maserati?
Even as a boss everyone will hate the shit out of you by the time you get old, that is if you survive that long.
>>223966865>The show never made it feel like it was even worth it to be in the MafiaIt wasn't
>>223966865this is literally pointed out in the first 30 seconds of the show's narration
>>223967021>>223966940The genius of the show is that it shows that mafiasos are losers and lazy at the end of the day.
>>223966865>neither was his carHuh? Didn't he drive a badass Lexus?
beats having to work a real job, that's the point.
>>223967048Yet they make more money and have more sex than you. Curious.
>>223967122>Curious.
>>223966865>he was basically the only oneThey all did pretty well, anon, able to spend hundreds of thousands. They all made money, they were just paying for wives, girlfriends, kids and poor spending habits.
>>223967122They're pathetic chumps who boost TVs and dvd players. The show reflects perfectly how these grease balls in real life weren't even good at being criminals just like any hood black gang. Twenty years later they've all folded on themselves and anyone left in that kind of life is working for Mexican cartels.
>>223966865they made decent money. they were just classless cretins who spent it on gauchy gifts for their wives & mistresses, gambled it away, or invested it into doing more crime
>>223966865Chrissy had the best fits on the show. He dressed nice, drove a Lexus, Maserati, and other high end luxury cars. I think most members in the family lived in shitty apartments if they didn’t have a family/kids, etc Chrissy, Paulie, and Junior. Rest did alright although not on Tony’s level. Lotta benefits too. Despite the consequence of life in prison or getting whacked over the smallest inconivence/mistake, you would literally live as a King that couldn’t tolerate any disrespect in life besides from ur boss. Money, pussy, and fun would always be in ur grasp. It’s a trade I would take >You missed the point by idolizing themI don’t fucking care. A lavish lifestyle of banting with psychopaths while wagecucks rot away seems nice even if it meant you eventually landing in jail or getting shot
>>223967233It's true of the mafia in NJ for sure, but not in NYC or even Philadelphia. The mob is still very much active and making millions a year from various rackets. The real life Jersey mob was always a mere extension of the Genovese faction of the NYC mafia.
>>223967248Normalfags are so afraid of dying that they'll gladly wagecuck until they're old and frail. They're allergic to taking risks.
>>223967248Junior didn't live large is all, then lost most during the trial through seizures and lawyers. Sil did very well, but he had the Bing. The only two we see a lot of who were "broke" were Pussy and Paulie, but Paulie was the type to scream he was broke with a million under his mattress.
>>223966865>The show never made it feel like it was even worth it to be in the MafiaThat's the point.
How was Tony able to get so rich? In the first few episodes he’s still one of Jackie’s capos but has the giant mansion, the boat, the cars, wads of cash just laying around, etc.Didn’t Jackie ever wonder why one of his underlings was doing better than him financially?
>>223967998Back in the day that's what you could afford working one summer at McDonald's.
>>223966865I'm on season 5 at the beginning, where he and Paulie are bitching back and forth about Chris always having to pay for their meals.How old is Chris supposed to be, and how long had he been in the mafia? At what point are his dues paid?
>>223967998Tony was a very good earner, anon, and been a hood all his life. Capos can make good bank, millions. It's not suggested Tony had more than Jackie, who wasn't boss all that long.
>>223967386>Paulie was the type to scream he was broke with a million under his mattress.I swear thats a line right outta the show.
>>223967998He's got that sanitation job where most of the income is funneled to him. Also he was smart compared to the average goon so it's likely he had a history of good business deals.
>>223966865True to life. Most criminals are poor losers, the Pablo Escobar type is very rare.
>>223967048They're not losers. They're highly successful in their own subculture, and all of them could be called brave, since they risk their lives and commit capital crimes.
>>223966940Jealous fed hands typed this post.
>>223968060Paulie and Olivia were very similar.
>>223966865It's one of those things that seems nice on the surface but actually isn't. That's why they always wanted their kids to avoid that life. You don't really make any money unless you become a captain and you always need to worry about going to prison or being killed.
>>223968050Chis is in his 30's and he was likely working for tony a long time but was only a made man for a short period. Some mafia guys can spend 20 years or never before they get made, it all depends on if the family is accepting new members or not. >At what point are his dues paid?either when he gets promoted to captain or if new guys become members so he isn't the new guy anymore.
>>223968292Least he's related to Tony, so he's got that going for him too.
>>223966865Italians are low impulse control so it makes sense, kinda like another group
>>223967998No offense anon, but he has an IQ of 136. It’s been tested.
>>223968315Eggplant?
>>223968292Chris is meant to be about 10-13 years or so younger than Tony, I guess. >either when he gets promoted to captain or if new guys become members so he isn't the new guy anymore.He'd never get respect. That's kind of the point of his arc, something he realizes near the end. It wasn't just being a new guy, it was the nature of Tony's generation. A bunch of hypocrites who treated everyone like shit and then cried about muh love and loyalty.
>>223968361it was mostly Paulie not giving him respect.
>>223966865It's almost as if the show was trying to teach the perceptive observer a lesson. By the sounds of it, you yourself are one of these perceptive observers.
>>223968410>being a murderer is... le badwoah
>>223968408Neither did Tony or Sil. The whole scene of them making fun of his daughter is there for a reason.
>>223968423they weren't murderers. They were soldiers killing other soldiers. Nobody innocent died.
>>223968444that was later on and he was such a fuck up that his lack of respect was deserved. Tony was trying to groom him to become boss one day.
>>223966865Isn't that the point? Everyone came in when the downfall was underway and the older guys clinging to power after years in jail got the same harsh wake-up as the younger guys
>>223967122But they don't for either?
>Tony was only making $1 million a year
>>223968475>that was later onThat's the point, anon. After everything, years of service, being made, siding with Tony over Ade and multiple hits, they still laugh in his face. They would never respect him. Tony wasn't setting him up to be Boss, he was setting up another lightning rod like Junior.
I mean he drove a Lexus and you to be careful due to IRS and feds
>>223968050Never. >>223968292None of them ever pay their dues. There is no paying your dues. Tony would kill anyone at the drop of a hat and they all repeatedly say "youre only as good as your last envelope" meaning there was no paying your dues. You are perpetually in debt forever as a raped kikeslave and at any time you can and will be disposed of if you even mildly inconvenience someone and they're in a bad mood.
>>223966865>The show never made it feel like it was even worth it to be in the Mafia.yeah, that's the fucking point. it's supposed to be about the mafia or at least the NJ section, dying (when we know they weren't, but the mob has been feeding us that lie since goodfellas)
>>223968501If he was actually running a legitimate business of the same size he would make similar money, without the legal trouble and constant threat of death.
>>223968457>soldiers killing other soldiersPure cope.
>>223968495Yes they do, wagie. Cope more
Michael never had a father. Tony abused that. Tone was the best New Jersey boss ever confiigure
>>223968527And having to go hassle people for money every day
Waste management isn't an easy business
>>223966865the heyday of the mob was long over by the 90s/00s, and even in the best eras, the 20s-70s the street guys never made that much.
>>223968535>drives the family into the ground>entire upper level dead>dies, fatDon Antonio....
>>223967248Not worth the mental effortHaving to kill your wife because she's been snitching to the feds for a year is nothing a wagecuck will ever feelI rather she fucks black dudes than that
>>223968563>I rather she fucks black dudes than thatI can't believe the restraint they showed. I kept waiting for it to happen the first time I watched it.
>go to work every morning at Satriale to unload the meat, butcher it and earn 2k>threaten people into paying you racket money, collect said money and do fuck all the rest of the dayIt's objectively tempting
>>223968576It was a different time, anon. Were it made today, 100% it would happen. AJ's teacher that Carm sleeps with would be black, too.
>>223968599You forget having to kick 10% up and there is a minimum you have to kick up.
Tone could rival New York. THAT will not happen
>>223968576The 20 minute uncut sex scene with Noah's 9 incher was a bit much
>>223966865He didn't need a nicer place and he wanted to just be a junkie. He had a decent house later on even when he was basically in blackball status. >>223967386He had more money hidden away that he forgot about. Also you cant trust any of them about how much money they have. They always act like they're on their very last shekel and then pull out 100 grand for something retarded the very next moment.
>>223968623New Jersey. They have a dod that had mange
>>223968523you're expected to earn money if you're a made guy otherwise what's the point of being in the family. If you can't then you're expected to be a hit-man/muscle for the family when needed. You have to provide some value to them.
Tone. James. RIP
>>223966865that's the whole point you retard.
>>223968639Exactly, anon. I think Junior was pretty loaded, but most everything of his would have been under seizure when he was arrested like John's assets were. Then there's the cost of the trial itself and medical bills, plus Tony took most of his normal street income. Junior kept things low key. It's how the older guys stay out of jail.
New fuckin Jersey? Yet he rivaled
>>223967998Jackie was bankrupted by his cancer treatments. Insurance will happily rape you if you have money before they start shelling out their own
>>223968561He had shit henchman that were unreliable, his only good upper management was Silvio. Bobby was just trust worthy not that effective, the best he could be is a Silvio replacement. Then other effective people like Richie were always acting against him, or Ralphie who at any moment would get killed anyway because he was a dick and everyone hated him.
the fact they keep quoting godfather 3 tells you everything you need to know about themyoure supposed to look down on them. if you take the show at face value and think theyre cool then youre stupid, like they are
>>223968755If anything I bring up Tone. He's that powerful
>>223968771Sounds like a leadership problem.
>>223966865I'm glad this fucker dies. dumbass cunt cocksucker never knew what he had and was always trying to be bigger than what he was
What would Napoleon do?
>>223968783Well he had an open rebellion being fomented under Richie and multiple people knew about it and did nothing, his dumbass sister stopped that of all people. Richie was even publcily discussing it with made guys like the human parakeet and Tony couldn't do shit about it.
>>223966865Christopher had it fuckin' made, with the hot doting wife and got to meet Ben Kingsley and could have simply waited for Tony to get whacked and moved to California with Adriana. but his decision making was that of a stupida fuckin retard.
>>223968823He was literally setting up to have him hit when Janice shot him, anon.
>>223966865>His apartment with Adrianna wasn't even that niceHe wasn't even made at this point and his girlfriend was a hostess>neither was his carHis cars were consistently among the best in the show, even in the pilot he had a top of the line Lexus.>The show never made it feel like it was even worth it to be in the MafiaPeople love to say "that's the point" to this but frankly none of the crew would be nearly as successful in private enterprise, they don't have the brains or patience for that way of life.
>>223966865Yeah but he had Adriana and she was a piece of ass and not fucking rude
>>223966865I didn't think it was possible for me to hate Italian Americans more than I already did, but this show made it possible.
>>223968783No it's the Mafia going away problem. Italians were aiming to be middle class and above. The only ones that would choose it, were both born into it and too retarded to do anything else.
>>223966865That's kinda the point. Mafiosos are retards. Tony could have had that same lifestyle if he actually did run a waste management company legitimately. Back in the day you'd have fresh off the boat Italians facing actual discrimination, so the mafia served a somewhat natural purpose in carving out something for their community. But then time went on and the heads of these families would fuck up their own neighborhoods with drugs and vice, scam morons with crooked poker games and boost trucks of Pokémon cards and stereos, all just so they could afford the kind of house and car your average dentist enjoys. Tony came in at the end of the American Dream, he missed out on the glory days, the life isn't even worth it but it's all he knows and it's the only way he can feel like a man. He talks himself up like he's one of those old school dons who uplifts the community, then sells out the old neighborhood to Jamba Juice.
>>223967048This. They really cracked something compelling by having all the mafiosos be either empathetic, hilarious, or monstrous at any given moment. Christopher is a goofy retard who also treats his girlfriend horribly but who we still want to see escape this life. It's a fine line to walk.
Look. You don like Tone, I get it.
>>223969985That's the point. Chase
>>223966865>The show never made it feel like it was even worth it to be in the Mafia.Well it's not but these people have no real skills and they don't want normal life which is also spelled out in the show.
>>223968849adriana was damaged goods. both her uterus' were pierced
>>223970385Plus she sucked Penn while Teller watched.
>>223967383i don't mind the risk but I think I couldn't just fuck over random people and generally be a scumbag without it weighing on my conscience.
A show so good you convinced an entire section of 4chan who are neets to sympathize with wagies. M D was right
>>223970397kek, I wonder if Penn agreed to have himself referenced like that.
>>223971114>Penn Jillette has publicly stated he was a fan of the show, found the nod hilarious, and was friends with the episode's writer, Lawrence Konner, who included it as a friendly homage.
>>223966865The whole point of the show is that they aren't really the mafia anon. They're just two bit thugs who believe in nothing but themselves
>>223970385She was legit trash. Young Mrs Wheeler was better.
>>223967178They may have been successful financially, but they were all spiritually corrupt. They all claim to be catholic while simultaneously being killers, cheaters and basically overall sinners. It's like in that scene where Christopher becomes a made man in that pseudo-religious ceremony and is disturbed when he sees the bird outside the window. It's like the bird represents the Holy Spirit or God, and Tony is the devil, stealing his soul away from spiritual righteousness. Money is useful in this life, but their catholic beliefs dictate that they can't take that money with them after they die, so by their own purported philosophy, they're being hypocrites.
>>223971191Get out of here with that satanic shit.
>>223971299>C'mon, Ton'. I was simply trying to make a point, like that sun tuh-zu guy.
>>223971191They'll just have to spend a little more time in Purgatory
>>223966865Some economist got some Crack dealers numbers. Local gang leader was making 90k a year, street thugs werent even making minimal wage. It was in the first freakonomics.
The movie Digger, whateva happened there.
>>223967122There's also people who do that without running a constant risk of getting shot in the back of the head by their "friends"
>>223966865I knew a guy who owned a financial planning firm and he encouraged his financial advisors (who are really salespeople) to always be buying dumb shit so they would be incentivized to always want to earn more.
>>223966865Yeah it was great. It showed a completely unglamorized depiction of the mob life. No operatic Scorcese rise and fall (not that Goodfellas and Casino aren't great movies mind you) no "I would do it all again". No camaraderie and sense of community before the third act betrayals, Just dingy grimy misery with people who all hate each other. Like for all the evil and suffering they bring to the world, they don't live any better off than if they had just gone straight. They sold their souls for nothing. At least Faust got a few years of the high life before the bill came due. It's a terrific show.
>>223967122So does the guy that uses his whole paycheck to get into expensive clubs to slip girls date rape drugs.I'm a chubby manlet making $25/hr and I can get consensual sex with a few girls every now and then.>>223967998>How was Tony able to get so rich?Didn't everyone treat him as the defacto head of the family because he pulled so much money, especially under Junior?
>>223967998he wasnt "rich". stuff was just cheaper back then. his house sold for 200,000$ in 1997. today, its....2.2 million dollars. the house increased in value eleven times. its the exact same house, nothing has changed but its over 10 times the price. did your wages go up 10 times compared to what the average salary was in 1997?minimum wage in 1997 was 5.25 or something. today its 7.25 or so. tony sopranos house was not a mansion. it was something someone legitimately operating a sanitation business as a full on career could acquire. had the house followed inflation and remained at what it was "worth" in 1997, it should be at best, 420,000 dollarydoos.
>>223968576Was more surprised Tony and Adrianna didn’t go further in the car honestly like Tony unzipping his pants or some shit
>>223972392The thought never even entered into his head!
>>223966865The whole point of the show was to denigrate Italian Americans. David Chase hated his parents and his ancestry, and he wanted to humiliate Italian Americans to gain the favor of his black and jewish friends. They're always portrayed as crass retards who are responsible for black crime and fundamentally immoral compared to the jews. The Many Saints of Newark proved all of this; Chase had full license to pour his hatred of who he was into every scene. Richard LaPenna was unironically correct, the media's portrayal of Italian Americans is disgusting and false.
>>223972433trvke
>>223967348Still a shell of their former selves to just sit around running real estate scams, some random construction worker shot a boss and faced no retaliation
>>223967122They're parasites.
>>223972433Can we get a show to denigrate Jewish Americans where they're portrayed as neurotic retards who are responsible for black crime and fundamentally immoral compared to WASPs?
>>223972640Boardwalk Empire was close but somehow even Atlantic City was 99% white in the 20s
>>223972640Yeah sure.
>>223966865I dunno. It sure beats wageslaving. Maybe not enough to mitigate the risks that come with the lifestyle but close.If these guys were even remotely intelligent with their money they could channel it into a lot of endeavours and a better lifestyle but as shown they don't plan long term at all and throw the money their money away on frivolities as fast as they earn it. Even with shooting junk non-stop and blowing his cash on stupid shit Chris is still able to buy a McMansion with cash.
>>223972703>Starring Steve BuscemiOk, I'm sold.
>>223972433Chase is basically Melfi's husband.
>>223967122>as if I sought over such hedonistic thingsPathetic
Sopranos WILL NEVER DIE
Approaching my festive Holiday romp. RIP my mum
>>223967383Being involved in organised crime is the highest form of wagecuckery without any of its benefits. Unless you're the boss you will forever be a bottom feeder.
>>223972640Closest show is Curb Your Enthusiasm but it's played for laughs and portrayed as endearing since the jews on the show are the only characters with actual personalities.>>223972832Chase is AJ. Tony is based on his dad and Livia is based on his mom. He made them a generation apart so he could occasionally self-insert as Tony to shit on his mom. But his dad probably thought he was a wimpy queer so he spent 70 years seething about it.
>>223972433>he wanted to humiliate Italian Americans to gain the favor of his black and jewish friends.What kind of /pol/ induced imaginary social war is being fought in this anon's head? Maybe Chase is a self-hating Italian, but where's the evidence? This post feels like it was pulled out of a hat.
>>223972751>still able to buy a McMansionThat's still not an impressive feat. They're called McMansions because they're garbage. Also, Vito is an idiot who let greed be his downfall. Dude was on the cusp of a great life where he could be an honest man and spend time with someone he loved. Instead, he runs back to a group that rejects him, but paid him a lot of money. His storyline is one of the best in the series as it reflects the story of a prince leaving his fortune to pursue adventure and fulfilment (classic hero's journey), but Vito gave in to his temptations instead of completing the journey.
>>223967122But not to the extent it'd make having to constantly look over my shoulder worth it.
>>223972785It's a bad show and Buscemi is in a wrong place in it.
>>223966865>Chris just seemed like he did alright.
>>223966865>The show never made it feel like it was even worth it to be in the MafiaYes, they aren't actually trying to encourage the audience to join an organized crime gang IRL.
>>223966865This idiot would bring attention to himself from the feds for being a 20 something millionaire working in sanitation.
>>223975583>turning gray>20 somethingHe's mid-thirties by the end, anon.
>>223967090Over the course of the show he owns a lexus ls400, a range rover, a hummer, a Benz clk, a maserati and tee other relaitlveiy expensive vehicles. I'd say he was doing very well for himself.
What episode had the topless nurse? Need a nostalgia fap
>>223967998I seem to remember David chase explained it away as him inheriting a lot of his dads illegal revenue streams which I would say makes logical sense.
>>223975705Right and andrew tate is rich because he drives a bugatti
>>223975705>I'd say he was doing very well for himself.Or like Tony he blew his money as quick as it came. Remember he got the Mas for a fraction of the cost because Ginny was hard-up for cash.
>>223975779I mean, yeah? Have you ever seen how much it costs to rent a bugatti? He is confirmed to have made millions from his scam courses and his sex trafficking business. He wasn't buy a Chiron rich but he was certainly a wealthy man. Just take a look at the house Chris buys in the final season, hes not on minimum wage lol
>>223966865they addressed this directly, forget the details but i think it was after chrissie got made but realized they only get as much as their last flim flam and they have to pay a tax on that.
>>223967998He had drugs, casinos, poker games, protection rackets and the strip club. All that alone would make serious bank. Then add in the fact he gets 10% of what everyone else makes for doing nothing at all and it's not hard to understand how he is rich
>>223966865>boss makes more money than workersthat's just capitalism
>>223975819That was when he just got made. But yeah, even then he was having to borrow money from Ade and pull jobs to make his kick.
>>223968563>Having to kill your wife because she's been snitching to the feds for a yearTHNAKS FOR THE FUCKING SPOILERS YOU DUMB FUCKING ABORTED PIECE OF FUCKING PUSS PISS SHIT CUNT ASS
>>223975834No he didn't lol. He got a small cut from the poker games and Silvios strip club and that's it. He only lost money to casinos and the show made a point that protection rackets are an obsolete thing.
>>223975892look at this guy, he's not even on his fifth+ rewatch of the hole thing, haha
>>223975892SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE
> Lexus LS400> Not that niceIt was like a 90k car?
tv better not be selling coke on those garbage routes
>Adriana is posting AI slop of herself on OnlyFans to make money in 2026Fucking bleak for an Emmy winner
>>223975966YOURE SUPPOSED TO PUSH WOPISTICS!
>>223975985She was always massively overrated but you need postnut clarity to see it.
>>223975985Emmys don't mean shit. The show covered that, too.
>>223966865>The show never made it feel like it was even worth it to be in the Mafia.iirc the first episode basically says with the rico laws and everything, the party is over and that generation showed up at the end. why do you think tony never involves AJ like his father did him? partly because he knows his son is a worm who wouldn’t make it but also because he knows there is no future in it
you can tell the anons who make these threads have never had a real job, anything is better than a 9 to 5 (or even worse, retail)
>>223975892This show came out before you were born this is on you for putting off watching a wildly popular show for so long
Christopher always had nice cars. Lexus LS 400Range RoverMercedes CLK 430Pontiac GXPMaserati Coupe (bought from Johnny Sack)BMW M3 convertible (bought stolen from Pussy)BMW Z3 (the writer's clown car)Hummer H2Cadillac Escalade EXTAnd nice clothes and a Cartier watch. "Nigger rich," as they say.
>>223968576Don't worry, David Chase finally got to put his cuck fantasies on film with Many Saints. He even makes a Moltisanti get cuckolded so it's the next best thing.
>>223975959NOYOU BITCHYOU BITCH
>>223971191Criminals are superstitious and very, very religious. It's a low IQ thing.
>>223967248Even while obviously criticizing the characters and actions, the show still massively romanticized and glamorized many aspects of being in the mafia. In reality, it was a pyramid scheme where most of the people involved were dumb as fuck barely making ends meet.
>>223976619Well the main characters are the ones in good position. Then the show includes several retarded mooks who basically exist to get whacked.
>>223976534IRL blacks exist and have sex with other blacks but also whites, asian, latino etc myabe you should touch grass once in a while and #have sex you basement dweller
>>223967103Vito refusing to see his watch really resonated with me
>>223968135>risk their livesyou can't even touch a made man without getting murdered
>>223976499>"Nigger rich," as they say.That's implied in the first episode, anon, when Tony patronizingly talks about him buying the Lexus, implying he was buying over his head.
>>223976743Isn't there also commentary on how most of these guys aren't even making more money than they would with an honest job? Or is that a different mob show
>>223968315mafiosi aren't even 1 percent of all italians you mong
>>223968475>it well deserved for every single co worker of yours to make fun of your infant daughter becoming a whore right in your faceI am losing hope for this board
>>223968457besides the many non soldiers they end up killing over the course of the show
>>223968534you have more in common with chris chan than any mafioso btw
>>223968771>>He had shit henchman that were unreliable>literally kills his best earner over a fucking horse and because he called him fatplease watch the show
>>223976756Different show, but yeah. Being a hood is self-employment. You're only as good as you can scheme and you're not pulling scores all the time. Like jacking trucks. You're not doing that every week. Most mob guys actually have real jobs with crime being a bit of a side hustle. That's in the show, too. Tony with garbage, Pussy with the shop, Sil with the club, Feech with his store, etc.
>>223968444I think Tony and Tony B ganging up on him about his sobriety was another strong display of it. He'll always get little brothered by his peers until they die off and he has seniority, but that's potentially decades away before it all goes to shit. At the same time, Chris was a serial fuck up, but he was set up to fail by the guys around/above him.
>>223976756They might not but then again they probably got a lot of free stuff.
>>223966865>worth itworth what? what did any one of them give up to be there? they all refused to work, so the alternative would have been to die penniless on the street
>>223968618yepand when you don't manage to kick up the desired amount then it adds up and after a while you will be killed or given to the cops
>>223969887plus they don't have intelligent guys in the mob at all, as why would they go to such a high risk environment when they can become a dentist as you said
>>223971191>the bird represents the Holy Spirit or Godit's a ravenit represents the guarrantee that Chrissy will die for the life now that he's made
Word to the wise, remember Chernobyl:https://youtu.be/qoWz7OuaEUU
>>223976830So do you consider yourself an unintelligent dunce since you aren't a dentist?
>>223966865That’s the point
>>223976859Nuclear energy is the future you cunt
>>223974047just like most far right mental illness
>>223976865of course, anon, I am in 4chan shitposting about a 27 year old show, after all
>>223968511Chris never got any respect because he never earned any. He was always a weasly little bitch boy with no self control and no brains. What was there to respect? His entire time on the show was a montage of bad decisions.
>>223976865I am a dentist tho
>>223976926Fuck off Bobby
>Uhm actually criminals are based and the show runners are jews for portraying them as bad!!
>>223976926True enough but it doesn't really change the situation, does it? He's the same as Paulie in that regard.
>>223976942I love the show because it portrays everyone to be a smug retarda true window to America
>>223976859anatoly dyatlov, whatever happened there?
>>223966918Yeah, after Tony ordered Silvio to kill the love of of his life. Christopher got promoted past other longer serving, more competent mobsters, who all resented him and openly disrespected him to his face while Tony laughed along. Christipher was a dumb asshole, but he had just enough self awareness to realize how empty it all was. He's only a little happy when he gets to make his movie, and even then, gets killed like a week later
>>223966865it came out after Freakenomics, which had already told everyone that being in organised crime is no better than a minimum wage job. being in the soprano gang meant you spent almost all your time with the others in gang and spent most of your time just hanging around.
>>223977156>it came out after Freakenomicssopranos first started airing in 1999, freak_o_nomics was first published in 2005
>>223967386Junior traveled a lot in his youth and got lots of trim, and even in the first season had a girlfriend he was still fucking while taking trips to Florida. Pussy owned an auto body shop and lived in a nice house in the suburbs while sending his kids to college, he just felt like he should've had more. Paulie also had plenty of money. His little condo was enough for him, but he also always had nice new cars, manicures, and is probably paying his mistress's rent
>>223972359They addressed this in season 1.melfi pointed out that tony was a sanitation manager and his neighbor was a pediatrician. She was implying that she knew he was lying about his career.
>>223968408None of them respected Christopher because he was bad at the job and kept getting promoted anyway because he's Carmella's cousin or whatever he was
>>223977135>and openly disrespected him to his face while Tony laughed alongLiterally nobody did this besides Paulie (asshole to everyone) and Artie that one time
>>223967248>you would literally live as a King that couldn’t tolerate any disrespect in lifeBeing unable to step over minor and often unintentional slights sounds like a source of endless stress.
>>223977402I don't think he was necessarily worse at his job than Paulie.
>>223966865I literally joined the mafia because of this show.AMA
>>223977731What would a truck of 1999 pokemon cards be worth today?
>>223977988about 3.50
>>223977988Lotta money in that shit
>>223977514wrong. Paulie makes a joke about how Christopher's daughter will end up working at the Bing and everyone laughs, including Tony
>>223976767That like saying scammed aren't 1% of all jeets, 1% is enough to stereotype them
