If you were Tony Soprano, what would you have done differently?

Would you have let Richie and Junior sell coke on the garbage routes?

Would you have given Ralph the promo over Gigi?

would you have strangled Gloria to death?

give it to me

Wouldn’t have killed my best earner...over a horse. And Ralphie should’ve been named capo from the beginning.

Tony was a dikk to Feech too and probably could have worked something out with him and been able to have Feech help smooth things out with New York.

Upon first watch it seems tony is infallible and is the victim of a lot of shyt (Richie, Phil, Ralphie, stupid actions from underlings, etc) but when I watch again it’s easier to see that Tony was in the wrong a lot and put himself in positions that yielded negative consequences (Tony B, Chrissy)

Chris said it best.

"Tony thinks that everything is his"

I saw the issues with Tony’s leadership during the first watch but it was easy cause I was binging over the course of a couple months

Doing the second watch now and it’s rough seeing all his mistakes. Finishing season 3 as I type this

With the amount of times Gloria deliberately put herself in harm's way, there's no doubt in my mind Tony would have killed her eventually. People with her personality disorder tend to be highly addictive in relationships and while the highs are fascinating like Tony described to Dr. Melfi, it also comes with devastatingly lows which we saw commence at her house. Combine that with her pretty much acting like Livia 2.0 and yeah, that affair was only gonna get uglier.

Fish broads out of Dr. Melfi's waiting area, brehs.

If Tony had that drink, Ralph would've been loyal to him for life. Still might've fukked up because he's a loose cannon but he wouldn't have hesitated to run through a wall for Tony. The satisfaction that came with snubbing Ralph in that moment wasn't worth it, no matter how good it felt.

The little things turn out to be the most significant things. Love this show.

I absolutely loathe tony soprano (great actor and great character in that “they” were able to elicit that emotion from me)...his character was just such a actually lemme not get into it but the show did a great job of making me hate that pig-headed fukk...that being said he wasn’t wrong w/ how he dealt w/ ralphie when he apologized and ultimately in killing him...dude crossed the line numerous times and was blatantly disrespectful on many occasions...as much $$$ as he brought in he brought in the same amount of trouble/chaos if not more...he was too much of a wild card
