what was his fucking problem

he had to kick up to the big guy

>>79523706
he had no kids

Paulie was an aging man who'd spent his glory years as a baleful thug under the thumb of manipulative cunts whom he could have taken apart one handed. As soon as he stepped out of his bubble and tried to be something more (with New York) he saw how irrelevant and uninteresting he actually was despite a storied history of fighting for New Jersey.

He never has the makings of a varsity athlete.

>>79523775
New York (Johny Sack to be precise) just played him like a pawn in his game.
Carmine didn't even know about him.
That showed that he was capable of being a traitor, especially since he had nobody on the outside to take care of

the saddest character in the series

>>79523942
And this is basically what Paulie has to look forward to if he makes it into old age.

>>79524657
yeah they really are simmiliar

Underappreciated, disrespected, nearly killed by Tony on the boat, big mouth.

>>79524657
Junior's Alzheimer's arc was the saddest in the show. I've had several relatives who died with it, and Dominic Chianese's portrayal of it is totally accurate.

>>79524820
yeah my grandmother had it too it was really painful to watch the show and see it

>>79523706
He told everyone to watch it

>friendly reminder that Paulie murdered an old lady

>>79525134
Sorry to hear that. I think Alzheimer's is infinitely more cruel than death.

>>79523775

thats a really good summary

>>79523814
This. The look on Pauline's face at the party after he realizes carmine has no clue who he is. Devoted his life to the mafia and in his chosen profession is literally unknown by the people who really matter. Hard pill to swallow man

>>79525240
I swore to myself if I ever got Alzheimer's I'd kill myself before it set in, but I'd probably forget... and not being a smart ass I hear it creeps up on you quick and before you know it you're fucked

he spilled his guts on film for a movie called "the Big Bang" and it wasn't even a porn

He grew up with old women for the rest of his life, he had no father figure. He also kept trying to kiss up to tony because he knew Johnny soprano then tony started 'hating' him after the pine barrens incident so he started smooching up to New York, but he didn't fit in there either. Paulie was always trying to find his place in the mafia world, he was like 60 yet he was always a low ranked soldier.

>sitting with his friends, having a good time like always

poor guy

>>79523942
Best character

>>79525232
>being an elderly woman automatically absolves you of everything

>>79523942
The look on Tony's face as he walks away from him for the last time is haunting, like, he'd just come face-to-face with the futility and pointlessness of everything he's done his entire adult life and all the things he sacrificed his humanity and loved ones for.

>>79523942
He basically realizes that even if he somehow makes it out alive, he probably won't even have the memories to comfort him. Just fucking nothing. It's horrible.

he was a captain and by the end of the show he was an Underboss, so he was on par with Johnny Sack (underboss on NY) but on the NJ family.

Watch it, singles.

I think Paulie would be the next boss after Tonys death/
Because srsl who else? In the end their mob was very weak they should take Furio back

>>79528734
Anybody would be better then paulie. Patsy for example.

>>79528734
The one who doesn't want the job is best usually, like Silvio

>>79528785
Patsy had almost no real respect
Sil was my fav character but he had asthma attacks becauae of stress that being acting boss gave him

>>79528734
Tony's death would signal the end of the NJ crew, honestly. Paulie would be a terrible leader.

>>79529245
tony had panic attacks and jackie had cancer

>>79529094
Silvo was in a fucking coma.

He was stuck in fucking chickentown. No wait, that's the other guy.

>>79529321
>Paulie would be a terrible leader

watch it chrissy

>>79528467
fuck he really does look like him

>>79529333
Well then there's nothing left of the crew, they're wiped out

>>79528734
Larry Barese would probably take over, if he got out of prison

>>79529939
This. Compare that to the end of a previous season (I forget which one) where the whole crew is chilling in front of satrialles and yells at that random dude for speeding through the neighborhood....although Phil's strategy was "decapitate and do business with whoever's left"

>>79528734
Literally Silvio.

>>79530648
He could be a fucking vegetable!
On the plus side, he was never that smart to begin with.

>>79530648
Silvio is literally near-dead in a coma and will probably not wake up, and even if he did would be in far worse shape than Tony was

I never cared for me getting it as much as I feared about my father getting it or other relatives. I watched my grandpa suffer through it but I didn't feel it as hard cause I was really young for most of the time he was around. Still upset by it though. But seeing my father get it would just fucking kill me

>>79529245
They killed his brother. I like to think he had something to do with Tony's death in the end

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9sCp_DA3_c
Why does Paulie seem so weird here? Is it because he doesn't swear a single time?

>>79531900
seemed pretty accurate to Paulie, imo

Ralphi Ciferetto was the best character in that series. It was so much shittier without him. He was great comic relief and that series greatly needed an asshole "call it like it is" character that was funny enough to lighten the tone.

That and all of the subplots around him centered on his sexually deviant opulent tastes, which always seemed pretty interesting.

The show never regained it's high watermark which were the two seasons with him in it.

And on a semi-related noted, I always wanted to see Meadow's big black italian bush, who's with me?

Ralphie wasn't my favorite character, but he was definitely top 5 and I took his death pretty hard considering how much I knew I was going to miss his presence.

characters that were great in sense of acting but you would still kill them

>>79532799
one of the biggest issues with the show was introducing great antagonist characters then killing them off, only to introduce a new one and do the same thing. It became a tad formulaic

Agreed. Ugly two faced cunt.

I also really hated this bitch. Spoiled, over dramatic and an ugly crier. Literally "attends psych 101 once": the character. Incredibly insolent and condescending to her own parents. She's lucky she was so sexy, stupid bitch.

But I'd still kill her with my dick

>>79533565
this a little bit to be honest.
>>79533594
I hated her too

Everytime I see this I am amazed how creative is some people here

>>79529939
Barese crew came out unscatched, and they are the most numerous. Characters characters we see on the show are only a small part of NJ family.

>>79525240
>tfw BOTH grandparents went from it
>seeing my dad at 62 starting to forget simple stuff, keys, glasses, his phone etc.

I really cant even focus on it too long, I know I'm gonna see the man I looked up to deteriorate into nothing.
