    I always liked Patsy's character. He was loyal, smart, and could be intimidating when he needed to be. He could've easily wacked Tony but knew it wouldn't be cinematic.
    Also, it's interesting that before the Sopranos, Patsy's actor Dan Grimoldi wasn't an actor but a math professor

    Patsy was my favorite outside of the main cast. He was cool, calm, collected, and basically the strong silent type Tony always strived to be. Even Vito playing for the other side didn’t even bother him because he knew how much Vito was bringing in since he was doing their books. Wouldn’t surprise me if he leads things in Jersey after the final episode.

    Patsy gets the ultimate revenge. NY probably appoints him as head of NJ when they absorb the Pygmy thing, not the walking blunder Paulie. So he takes Tony’s status. But what I haven’t seen mentioned is how he also absorbs Tony’s family into his own with Meadow marrying in and AJ on his way to being a soldier in Jason’s crew. In the end, the Strong Silent Type causes Tony’s head to literally explode and takes everything that was his save for Carmela and her big house with the pool.

    I don't think Patsy was behind Tony's death, but I think the way Tony treated him was a big part of why New York removed Tony. We got caught up in Tony's main character syndrome, but you could see the resentment of his crew building out of focus throughout the seasons if you look for it. They were loyal, but weren't happy with his leadership. Tony was all about Tony and didn't really give a damn if the people under him were doing well or not. It caught up with him in the end. The successful bosses, the Carmines, knew they had to keep their people fat and happy.

    Personally, I don't buy into the idea that Patsy wacked Tony. While Patsy definitely still held animosity towards Tony, I saw his smugness towards the end more so that Tony was forced to respect by Italian customs. As far as motives, by that point Patsy had no real reason to kill Tony, as aside from Paulie he was essentially the de facto Underboss of the family. The only reason he would have Tony wacked at that point would be to seize power, but that doesn't really fit with his character from my perspective.

  • @STONESGAM
    @STONESGAM День тому +9

    I thought Don Grimaldi played Patsy very realistically. I would have liked to see him get a little more screen time. I don't think he was involved in whacking Tony at the end I truly think it was New York and payback for the Phil hit which Butch said "do what you've got to do" but it probably didn't sit well with the other families having Phil get whacked that way in front of his wife and grandkid at a gas station. So I think taking Tony out was okay'd and then they just considered it a wash and started over with a new regime.
    I think New York probably just absorbed the remainder of the Soprano Crew or more likely installed someone as boss and kind of called the shots over NJ at that point. Where NJ was kind of a satellite of the Lupertazzi Family or had a weak boss who gave New York favorable deals on their joint Construction projects. I honestly think Patsy just kind of accepted his brothers death eventually and realized it was part of the life they chose.

    • @coyotemojo
      @coyotemojo День тому +2

      I think the lack of screen time was intentional. There's a subplot of a collective growing resentment towards Tony that Chase intentionally left out of focus. Small things minor characters say or do while Chase kept us focused on the drama of Tony's inner circle. I agree that New York was behind Tony's death, but I bet they made sure Patsy and Pauly would be ok with it before they did it. I think Little Carmine was the architect and came back to run the NY family after Phil and Tony were out of the picture.

I think Butch took over he seemed to be a real gangster and like somebody who wanted to be in charge.

Some.middle-tier guy in NY? And what will his son and Meadow think about that? At the end, Little Carmine is de facto running NY, and there's no way he's sanctioning a hit on Tony. And Patsy is not going to do anything unsanctioned, I guarantee you that. Don't even bring up his brother. He put his grief behind him.

    Spoons was killed because he was next in line for Junior's crew. The gossip didn't come out until after the hit was ordered.

    I love a good sopranos breakdown video ... I hate that this channel keeps getting suggested in my feed, this channel is extremely low effort

      Heres what you do. You go to the three dots beside the video on ur feed. Then you tap it. Options pop up. You tap “dont recommend this channel”. Bam. Problem solved.

      I beg to differ, I put lots of effort into my videos and always have and will. Whether this is writing scripts for the video, reviewing them, recording the script, editing the audio, and putting it all together with the recorded footage to match the audio. Not to mention making a thumbnail for the video, creating tags for the video, and then uploading it all while posting on other socials. But thanks though for watching! 👍🏼

      I stopped watching regularly because he makes a lot of mistakes, which is odd for a diehard Sopranos fan. I get your point. I do still watch occasionally.

    To me the shooting outside the Bada Bing obviated that NY was not targeting Patsy and Patsy wasn’t targeting them.
