​@@bluecollarlitPeople miss most of it sadly. The whole Junior not realizing Livia was losing her mind to dementia and thinking she was faking it... only to get dementia himself and everyone thinks *he's* faking it. Great stuff. People actually think poor Livia was plotting against Tony when literally everything Junior said to her was in code and she would literally respond, "I have no idea what you're talking about..?!" Then there was that whole thing with Tony thinking she was smiling when she had a stroke (which makes half your body, and especially your face, sag) which is a reference to Tony seeing the picture in Melfi's lobby as a negative when it's actually a normal, neutral painting. It showed that Tony inherited his mother's negative outlook, seeing things that are normal or even positive as a negative. And the same way he saw treachery from his mother is the way Livia saw treachery from everyone around her. And by the end of the show, Anthony Jr inherited the same miserable depression. Tony remarks about infecting his son with it and feels awful, only to then say later that he hates his son. The show is a masterpiece, illustrating that these people are all miserable. The glorification of the mobster life is completely misapprehended as they all have personality disorders and severe depression. Melfi's colleagues explain this during dinner and she finally drops Tony, which is where the show ends. People always think about whether Tony got whacked at the end of the show when it goes to black. But I always found this juvenile. The show ends because Tony failed to get on top of the illness that the show opened with. The last thing Tony looks at is his daughter, which is represented by the ducks leaving the pool. Meadow is Tony's ringing endorsement that what he does/did is worth it. When the ducks grew up and left the pool, Tony had his first episode on the show and passed out (that the audience sees, we know he had attacks earlier). He mentions this to Melfi, saying that the timeline of the ducks leaving was around the time of his recent episode. When Meadow finally grows up and is about to move on like the ducks (represented by her getting a job, moving on with her life, and entering the restaurant last after everyone else) Tony looks up to see her and the screen just goes to black. The metaphor came full circle and the show ended right where it began. Whether Tony passed out like he did before, got shot by NY or someone else, or the show just ended there... makes absolutely no difference. Everything was wrapped up perfectly. Many people miss this stuff. They go around commenting about how Livia was pure evil (even though she was clinically unable to feel joy, which is horrible) and about how/if Tony get's whacked at the end. Few people talk about the metaphors coming to a perfect close. I guess David Chase's audience isn't up to the task as much as he'd hoped. I imagine he was slightly disappointed with people asking if Tony got whacked because it seemed to distract everyone from what a good job he did.

Richie was a great foil to Tony as a sociopath. Tony was self-centered and vindictive, but up until the end, he did a great job of hiding it behind his charisma and calculated shows of power. He could be manipulative and cunning, but even the audience would be fooled by it. Richie didn’t have any of that personal charm or depth in the show. He was far more of a low-functioning sociopath, where he defaulted to threats and shows of force so often that nobody considered him reliable, just a ticking time bomb. He was also way more easily deceived and manipulated by people like Junior when Richie thought he was in control. Him getting killed by Janice after abusing her and considering her beneath notice even with a gun to his face was an inevitability. If not Tony, if not Janice, someone would’ve gotten him eventually, all because he was too much of a vicious prick.

That is to say, they were only scenarios of emotional conflict that he could see little in the organization as a confrontation, in fact, Cifaretto's death has to do with Tony's emotional state, nothing to do with his position as a boss like the one Richie perceived. .

Everyone (rightfully) talks about James Gandolfini, Edie Falco, Michael Imperioli etc. when discussing how sublime the acting is in The Sopranos- I personally think David Proval’s portrayal of Richie is the best performance in the entire show

That was one of my favorite scenes at the end. Screen writers did a great job building up to it

This actor was even menacing in Everybody Loves Raymond

Richie was such a badass. Angry as fuck 😆

I can appreciate how hes genuinely kind to the people that work under the stores he's exploiting. No need to be a dick to some 17 year old nobody. If you get into the "bidness" however it becomes a different story.

I was disappointed when Richie's character was ended on the show. He should have been in the series longer than he was. David Proval was in "Mean Streets":with Deniro and Harvey Kietel.

My favorite part is when he's dying on the floor acting surprised. Lol

Richie Aprile is a terrifying character played perfectly by actor David Proval.

Richie was a capo when he went to jail above tony people forget that. He got tony out of the feech la manna situation well written character.

Richie the guy u love to hate and hate to love 😂 he played a great character

"Whats this? ITS THE JACKET!" Idk but that part had me rolling 😂😂

Richie was believable. Loved his character. When he had to go, it was a sad day.

Legend has it that David Proval was one of the Runner Ups to play Tony Soprano. I think Richie Aprile was a fair consolation. And he was probably better for it.

The “best of” a psychopath is more like it. One of the more gratifying moments in this “family oriented” HBO series was when Janice let him have it.

He got it coming one way or another. I love that acting😂

Richie was a character that I first hated and then having watched the series a few times I realized that he's one of my favourite characters. Season 2 was my favourite season because of Richie. I don't care if that's a controversial take. I'm from the old school, I shouldn't have to explain myself.

@@mosthatedny2243 that's my position as well. I didn't like Richie when I was younger because he was set up to be the antagonist. His situation though is defensible in retrospect and I think that he brings a different dynamic to the table. Except for hitting his wife.

I think the rationale is that, given they are Catholics who don't really believe in divorce, once you've given a woman your last name in marrying her, you're obligated to provide for her no matter what. A girlfriend doesn't have that protection.

Richie deserved both of them shots. He played that role great

THE JACKETTTT 🤌

I had an employee who is a facial twin of Ritchie, best shopping mall detective I ever met. I have met 300 +. I knew it the moment he entered my office. A natural.

I would say that the biggest pure sociopaths on the show are Ralph Cifaretto and Paulie Walnuts. Both of them killed people at the slightest provocation, with zero remorse. Richie is a mean prick, but, he still possesses some rationality and restraint that elevates him over those two psychos.
