was he the smartest mobster in tony's crew? he survived

>>84181071
He was the dumbest capo

>>84181071
He's the embodiment of the old-school Mafia muscle.

He was legitimately playing 12D chess unlike our sexist racist president Comrade Donaldovski Blumpf who is just stupid

>>84181071
No man. Silvio was the smartest. Your boi was just lucky.

>>84181859

This, he was a fucking consiglieri

>>84181071
>skin of his nut
What did this daft cunt mean by this?

>>84181859
Silvio was the smartest. Paulie was easily one of the toughest though. He and Christopher were gods. Christopher probably would have survived the killings if tony didn't kill him for being a drug addict

Paulie was high ranked and close with Tony but was also too irrelevant to murder.
If he was more important then Tony or New York probably would've killed him imo.

no he got lucky.

>>84182400
NY did consider it, but figured bobby was more important and whacked him instead

>>84181071
Paulie was the smartest, you've got to be fucking smart as a maffia guy to live through the 80's

>>84181071
>even outlived tony
excuse me?

PISHADOO

Paulie literally won the game

1. High ranking enough to command respect from the top dogs, but low ranking enough to avoid being clipped in a war

2. Army vet + did time in jail, has more life experience than almost everyone in the crew

3. Tough guy

4. Manlet?

5. Naturally funny

He also ended up completely alone and probably went the way of Junior.

That is why he is so smart. He was high enough for other to break his balls but low enough never to get in the FBI and other families sights.
He also never got married or had kids which meant they could never use that device to persuade him.

>>84184592
>He also ended up completely alone and probably went the way of Junior.
He ended up completely alone because he outlived anyone else.

>>84184679
pretty sure none of that was intentional and that he would've loved to have been relevant because he would always kiss new york's ass

>>84181071
Dumb enough to take on that cursed capo job and no doubt died of cancer shortly after the show ended

Why is this scene a meme?

>>84186090
I always thought it was cause Vito looked like bad CGI in this scene

do all single guys end up like paulie?

what do you think will become of aj after the finale, do you think he will toughen up? will he make a good wise guy?

>>84186354
AJ is too small, dumb, and weak minded to be a wiseguy.

>>84186642
the thing is, until the very end he has never actually seen anything, people wisen up over the years like you can see with chrissy. he wasn't cocky and playing the my father card like jackie

>>84186811
Yeah but AJ just seems like that kind of pathetic faggot who spends his entire life on a shrinks sofa, and lives alone in a studio apartment for his whole life, never learning how to improve himself. One of us.

>>84181071
>outlived tony
thinking tony died at the end is the most trash opinion around

>>84182847
not knowing about the tony dies at the end theory is equally as trash

you're both scum

If you think Tony didn't get shot in the head at the end, you weren't paying any fucking attention to the last season. Chase has all but admitted it.

>>84186354

His parents handed him a cushy job and a new car in the last episode. I don't think he will ever be a wiseguy, but connections will always make sure he'll lead a comfortable life. Because of that he'll probably never improve his character, which fits with the main motif of the show that no one will change because change is hard.

is Silvio ever shown to do or say anything smart? I would assume Tony is actually the smartest

>>84181071
>but Tony didnt die

>>84188662
he was the best at reading people and seeing the bigger picture, look at the situation with patsy and chrissy where he started a conflict to show chrissy still has to learn

>>84187828
Artie Bucco was the only character that changed.

He quit being self loathing and spent more time in the kitchen than harrass the customers. His restoraunt started to flourish again.

>>84187828
>>84186354
AJ's ending was essentially his family accepting he was mentally weak but loving him anyway, I think his whole character was Chase examining what he thought of the millennial generation

>>84189104
Paulie changed at the end too, he made up with his mother before she died and stopped being a nuisance after Christopher died and he felt guilty

>>84188662
He wasn't quite as smart as Tony, but not being impulsive like him made up for it.

No risk, no reward.

Why do they always wear black leather jackets when they're out busting knee caps, killing, or blowing stuff up?

>>84189391
I always wondered this too.

Yeah, make sure you look exactly like what most people think mobsters look like when you go commit crimes.

>>84189391
because they are comfy and timelessly fashionable

Only for a joke

Anyone get feels when Tony pulls AJ out of the pool. Tony obviously is disappointed with AJ and his life, but you can tell that he still cares about him.
