The Sopranos

[Tommy Shelby]

Lorraine Braco was penciled in to play Carmella and Steven Van Zandt was also pencilled in to play Tony but HBO executives wanted a actor who had experience so David Chase wrote Silvio's part for him, which I found interesting.

So been thinking.

Is Tony Soprano a bad mob boss?

 

[28 Jakes Later]

Yeah he’s pretty bad
takes to much personally and is hot headed
also murdered his top earner

 

[28 Jakes Later]

Better mob boss than husband and dad though

 

[Loochblade]

No wonder with those small hands... that was always his problem.

 

[Barry Poppins]

He never had the makings of a varsity athlete.

 

[28 Jakes Later]

Not that Johnny Sack was any better either

 

[Barry Poppins]

Johnny Sack was too ruthless to be boss tbh.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Uncle for all his faults probably was a way better boss than Tony.

 

[Loochblade]

tbh... almost everyone in that familia would be a shit mob boss.

 

[Barry Poppins]

tbh... almost everyone in that familia would be a shit mob boss.

Patsy probably was the only one with a good head on his shoulders.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Hear me out actually. Tony could have had so few problems if he had just given Ralphie, Vito, Chris, Patsy, and Gigi their own crews.

Paulie gets the old Altieri crew, Patsy gets the old Junior crew, Chris gets Tony's crew, Ralphie gets the Aprile crew, and Gigi and Vito are given their own crews. Keep them far away from one another and you get:

Ray Curto's Crew
Chris's Crew
Ralphie's Crew
Patsy's Crew
Paulie's Crew
Larry Barese's Crew
Gigi's Crew
and Vito's Crew

Bobby Baccala stays as Underboss, and Tony feeds orders through him. Silvio remains consigliere.

 

[Loochblade]

I dunno... wouldn't that may end up being more destructive than productive? Creating more smaller crews feels like it would make you more vulnerable to those crews trying to start their own shit etc.

Vito was a bottom boss

 

[Tommy Shelby]

T was a good guy but had a bad temper and wouldn't think of ,willing you . I ,ean his biggest energy is gay and I starts to unravel the gang till Philly wiped him out. Johnny sack he's my other. Fav boss but changed the way he become Don of NY
