Sopranos Thought Experiment

Assume that the poker game robbery that Jackie Jr orchestrates goes off without a hitch. Nobody gets killed and no shots are fired. Would Jackie have earned the same respect that his dad and Tony did when they pulled the same stunt? Or would hothead Christopher kept him from advancing or maybe even get revenge?

I don't think he would've gotten the same respect Tony did, I think he would've found another opportunity to step over the line and he'd get killed anyways

Since it was Ralphie's card game, Ralph would probably have been really pissed off about it and might have even tried to have Jackie Jr. suffer an "accident". I think the last episode would have been largely the same accept Jackie Jr. wouldn't have been killed in Boonton.

>Who the fuck told you to rob a fucking card game huh?
>Ralphie told me about how my dad and youse
>Ralphie? YOU HEAR A FUCKING STORY FROM RALPHIE FUCKING READING RAINBOW AND THINKS LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE YOU DISRESPECTFUL LITTLE SCHMUCK?!?

It was a low level game so no respect even if they got away with it.

holy shit i totally forgot how that guy died and that furio was shot in this

if nobody got hurt and tony or ralph would know it was jackie, he would have to pay the money back. If he couldnt pay it, he would die, if he could, ralph would still hold it against him when busting balls. So Jackie killing ralph is the option imo

Christopher was totally right, Tony covering for that kid was bullshit.

>forgetting based Dino Zerilli
You gotta keep Dino in mind, paisan!

>Christopher was totally right, Tony covering for that kid was bullshit.

?

Victory has a hundred fathers but defeat is a orphan.

Fuck no. It's apparent when the old school guys come back from jail, that they don't fit in with what Tony's doing since he wants complete control of everything.

I watched some behind the scenes doc and they showed that scene being filmed. Gandolfini was having a *very* hard time and kept lashing out at the director.

Based Feech La Manna should have stayed around longer , he was a great addition.

Jackie Junior was clinically retarded he would have never made it.

It all comes down to the sacred and the propane.

No

everyone knew he was too dumb to live

Remember Junior's comment "he almost dorwned in 3 inches of water?"

Honestly I think Chase fucked up making all the younger characters like AJ and Jackie so fucking stupid, it makes them much more boring as characters.

>Honestly I think Chase fucked up making all the younger characters like AJ and Jackie so fucking stupid, it makes them much more boring as characters.
It's a realistic depiction. Each generation is weaker and more stupid than the last. Chase would only be cucking himself by sugar coating it.

>zerilli
guy had no chance really
