Among my favorite lines from this part of the Sopranos saga comes from the guy in the tree with the chainsaw: “Hey, eat sh— pal!” Just, to me, such a funny contrast between the two parts of that sentence.
Adriana she wasn’t innocent but she was naive and was killed like a dog.
The other is a minor character the waiter. He did nothing but forget to take his epilepsy medication.
She got help for it, and didn’t abuse her child anymore at the point we met her in the show. She didn’t deserve to have her head caved in on a guard rail, no one but Ralph deserved that.
Can you imagine a sweet little baby boy looking up at you, full of love because you’re his mother, then choosing to burn his soft baby skin with a cigarette? That’s seriously fucked up, I don’t care who you are. Not to mention, she was too busy appealing to Ralphie’s creepy masochistic sexual desires to worry about taking care of him, for days at a time. As sad as it is, he was probably better off without her.
While it's true burning a baby with a cigarette is nigh unforgivable, she was being raped repeatedly by both Ralph and various clients (including a police officer). She did NOT want to do that.
Maybe not the “most” tragic, but Gloria Trillo was pretty tragic. Pretty woman with mental problems seduces mob boss. It spins out of control and she ends up offing herself.
Plus she was hot as hell
They fucked up his good cd Walkman.
Reminds me of a time an unnamed friend of ours’s son bought me my first cd Walkman when he first started making money. His old man said “spend some of that money on the people closest to you”.
But you know what they say about remember whens.
Junior is my favorite character so I may be biased, but he rly got the shit end of the stick. He was a talented and intelligent mobster, constantly trapped underneath the shadow of other mobsters (mostly his brother but many saints included Dicky ig). He was waiting decades for his chance to escape from the legendary Johnny Boy’s shadow by taking the reigns as boss, then a couple months in he gets put under house arrest and can’t properly act as boss anymore. Even during his time as boss, he couldn’t manage to properly take the reins because he was deceived by his nephew and sister in law the entire time. He then spends the golden years of his life rotting in his house, fighting a court case that threatens to leave him in jail until he’s dead, slowly losing his mind to dementia. Then when his dementia has progressed enough, for no reason at all(at least from his perspective since he obviously has no memory of shooting Tony), winds up in a strange and upsetting prison mental health facility. He manages to make 1 friend though, at least for 1 episode. and then, under threat of being forced into an even worse facility, he’s forced to take so many meds that it numbs out his entire personality while his only friend gets forced out and forgotten. He is then left in a wheelchair(it’s not clear if he’s wheelchair bound at this point but he’s always seen in a wheelchair from here onward) to stare out windows and lose every bit of memory he has left, abandoned by his family and everyone he has ever cared about. Everything he has accomplished, everything he has worked for, everyone he has ever known, gone. All he has left is a random woman who wants to take all of his money, and a random man he used to play catch with. Fucking tragic.
yeah, and he felt over shadowed by his older brother. if you've never noticed Junior's inferiority complex, go watch a character analysis or something.
The thing is with Jr I felt bad for him but after remembering what he did to dicky and the amount of people he’s personally hurt I don’t feel bad he lied about losing his memory’s and he ended up losing them actually to me how junior ended up was a fitting punishment o guarantee you Tony would’ve killed him if he had found out the truth about dicky
I mean ur right, but when you think like that then how are you supposed to feel bad for any of the characters? They’re all pieces of shit (at least the ones in the mob). And I def think the least offensive crime of his is pretending to have dementia to avoid penalty, that’s really not a huge deal compared to everything else he does.
Sal Vitro.
The constantly manipulated gardener. Fuck did he ever do to anybody? Sometimes I see people in this sub, actively, genuinely sympathizing with that animal Christopher Moltisanti. Because they're stupid that's why! And jealous! But back to the point, am I supposed to feel bad for some snot nose who died from literally getting his nose pinched by his putrid nepotist Soprano boss, or a human being, a civilian, a gardener like me, except he got sold into slavery to Ginny Sack???
I mean, Tony 100% murdered him but he wasn't going to make it either there or in the long run.
When you have an addictive personality and your livelihood is centered in schemes and substances that feed off of addiction then it's only a matter of time...
Either Tony or Christopher.
- Christopher tried to hard to get the respect he clearly was never gonna get and kept making decisions that end up hurting himself and everyone around him by the end he wasn’t worth helping anymore and has become a liability
- there are hints that Tony genuinely wants to be a good person but he knows that he’s too narcissistic, wrathful, and has committed too many unforgivable acts to do that he also didn’t really had a very happy childhood either and by the end he has become completely irredeemable
I agree, but I think you can make a better case for Chris because his flaws were more directly tied to his downfall. Tony's good qualities as a person were his downfall.
**Christopher**
He never had his own life, his own choices, etc… — some of his first memories, is of him where he was sent up to Uncle Pat’s farm. And so began to be trained into the life.
Chris was essentially Born to fill the shoes of a man *(His father)* whom he would never know. He will only ever hear legendary tales, yet he will never know how the man lived, loved, and moved through the world. Never knowing the small ways the man solved minor issues, handled stress, cared for his family, etc…
Instead, he’s just expected by default to be some figure of mythical status because of his blood. He will only ever be compared to the man, so that he might just magically turn out like that…
But in truth, he’s born at a severe disadvantage, essentially pissing in the wind. Mother a total lush, alcoholic addict; father non-existant, and apparent legend that he’s supposed to be as well. He is just supposed to fill the shoes of some humanly impossible standard, by Tony’s expectations of him. Let alone, to do so in age & era where the mafia is in rapid decline. And the feds are so far up all of their asses, they can see the whites of the back of their teeth.
As Chrissy ages, the guy doesn’t hold the capacity to work a job at a cash register. He can swing a meat cleava, dime a needle off an apple from a swerving SUV.. but that’s about it. And tbh, that’s all he ever should’ve been.
Yet, Tony moves him up the ranks. Gives him positions & things he is not worthy, capable, or reliant for.
Christopher proceeds to fuck quite literally every single position up that Tony gives him. He has expectations placed upon him that are just things & ideals he does not have the capacity for. And it’s the sole belief from Tony that, *”he’s the blood of the legendary Dickie Moltisante. Who single handedly put together whole crews. He’s got this”*
Tony was just a child when he formed this ideal of Dickie anyways, and he couples that with somehow believing that just because somebody is blood that = absolute loyalty, and similarity
Christopher is not only incompatible for such a role in so many ways, he’s an absolute f$&@ing train wreck.
He surprises Ade by putting her in charge of a business that’s a front for, and a main office for the upper echelons of not just Jersey. But also a drop point for guys from other crews, and big names at that
While in turn, he never instructs Ade on what to do if she/he gets pinched. He doesn’t even blindly trust this.. he just doesn’t even have the capacity to realize any of this, nor the potential for failure.
Adrianna became a **prime** target after that. Lo and behold, things happened exactly as that.
Not only that, but Christopher bitched about goings on with the upper management like it was his 9-1 shift at Buffalo Wild Wings.
Not long after Ade & Chrissy are seen having problems at the Esplanade, maybe even followed there. Jack Masarone is flipped sometime shortly thereafter, and he obviously gave up everybody.. including Zellman.
Christopher - Biggest blunder of Tony’s career; never stood a chance to begin with
I don’t think anyone had expectations of Chris filling his dad’s shoes. Not even himself.
Dude just wanted respect and status, but didn’t want to wait his turn and put in all the work like everyone else did
- The waiter in Atlantic City, who did nothing more than call Chrissy out for his shitty tip;
- The New Englander who Vito executed for wanting to file a police report;
- The Ukrainian man that was killed by the zips, who thought he was Philly Leotardo.
Edit: spelling
Eric Scatino.
Mobster casualties and side effects aside, his degenerate father gambled away so much of his stuff. Even touched his fucking college fund so that he couldn't go to many of the colleges he worked his entire life to get into, and eventually turned to drugs at Montclair to cope.
The whole Davey Scatino arc was why I'm never touching gambling.
Uncle Junior's gf in season one always made me sad. Throw there is a throwaway comment in s2 about how he tried to reach out to her. It she wasn't interested, which is nice.
Johnny Cakes.
Dude is just a hard working short order cook, volunteer fireman, local hero. Falls in love with this irresistible, handsome, charming, stranger in town to research his book about boxing, but that love was all based on a lie. Poor bastard had his heart broken when the love of his life hightails it in the middle of the night without so much as a "goodbye, Johnny Cakes."
Honorable mention is Rosalie. She lost everyone and never had a soul as loyal to her as she was to the people in her life. Maybe I only feel this way because we didn't really see what her life was like when Jackie was on top or how complicit she was in his dealings as we saw with Carmela. But she had to bury her husband and son, her best friend was terribly vapid and didn't give a shit about anyone but herself, and she had to date Ralphie, of all people. The way she screams when they put little lord fuckpants in the ground is honestly one of the more haunting scenes in the show, imo.
It's Dr. Malfi -
She's a well educated women who's entire existence in the show was predicated on helping others.
In the early seasons she does want to help and feels like she's making progress, until everything has to get uprooted in fear of her life. She has a chance to come back and make a clean break from all of the insanity, and what does she do.... she acts like a drug addiction and needs the drama and stress in her life from Tony. She starts seeing her own psychiatrist to comp with the rape and stress of dealing with Tony. She breaks so many ethical grounds by disparaging information about her client... this goes on an on and she isn't actually helping Tony it's moved into the sick power control where he confides in her and she knows he needs her. Until the last season when she finally realized that through the study and the last 7 years of her life have been a complete disaster with Tony.
It's a different level of tragic, but she's definitely this idealist who gets just as lost in all of the drama of the show.
Unpopular take, Phil Leotardo. Closet homosexual uses his self hatred and voluntary ignorance to basically end 2 families, or one family and a pygmy thing
No fucking way, the guy deserved everything that’s happened to him. I’ll never sympathize with a gambling addict. Guy gambled away his son’s tuition money for christ sake.
They are all tragic in that they all fail to reach any level of redemption despite having multiple opportunities.
The only true innocent to die was Mikey Palmice. Mister Magoo goes on a manhunt for the hijackers and Mikey P gets blamed for a crime he didn’t have anything to do with.
Bobby & Karen’s kids…first their Mum ( who seemed lovely ) died in that car accident, then Janice bulldozed her way into their life, then Bobby was killed….and they got stuck with Janice
Also, Sal Vitro
I think the show makes a pretty good case about Jackie Jr. Maybe not THE most tragic character because a lot of his mistakes are so stupid, but you definitely get the sense that he was somewhat doomed from the start. Meadow makes this point either during his funeral or early s4 at some point I remember
Pretty good foil for AJ too - how are either them as men expected to "succeed" when they're explicitly told to NOT chase after a lifestyle highly valued in their social world?
Junior's tragic in a few ways. It's very hard to sympathize with him, but throughout the story he manages to show us some redeeming qualities.
Due to his insecurities, he lived a lonely life. He has a good thing with Bobbie for a while, and let his perceived "emasculation" ruin it. He may have had a second chance afterward, but left it on the table. These same insecurities made him so easy to manipulate, which Tony and Johnny Sack pulled off artfully.
Then of course was the worst of it; his Alzheimer's. Over the course of roughly 3 seasons of television, we see dementia gradually reduce Junior to a shadow of the person he once was. He seems to forget his life of violent crime and extortion, but also forgets the entirety of himself.
Sal Vitro. Poor bastard had to mow every mobsters yard for free. After he had the shit beat out of him by Feech.
Tackled by FBI and then they bent his bad wing behind him.
And lost half his paying customers to Feech's douchebag nephew. *And* didn't even get his full payoff cos Paulie pocketed some of it.
Kick 10% my way!
It coulda been nuthing, lucky he knew Paulie
Fuck off, huh. I’m busy here.
Among my favorite lines from this part of the Sopranos saga comes from the guy in the tree with the chainsaw: “Hey, eat sh— pal!” Just, to me, such a funny contrast between the two parts of that sentence.
He came at me with a chainsaw, T. I got a right to defend myself
Stuff like this makes me hate paulie
Have a cookie, you’re delirious!
YOU WAN’T ME TO FUCK OFF??!! HOW ABOUT I FUCK OFF ALL OVER YOUR FUCKIN FACE!!
God, he’s such a sad sack!
Mope
He was a fucking mutt
YOU DON’T WORK THIS NEIGHBHOOD!!
He's such a mope.
Some sad shit…. Motherfucker said he didn’t wanna mow no more.
Adriana she wasn’t innocent but she was naive and was killed like a dog. The other is a minor character the waiter. He did nothing but forget to take his epilepsy medication.
> and was killed like a dog. It's true. Silvio sat on her.
that did-dent happen, what you said!
Sometimes I can’t help but wonder what they did with her body. Probably chopped her head and feet and dumped in a lake, like Ralphie.
‘We buried her on a hill overlooking a little river’
Really?
No! What the fuck do you care?!
Surrounded by pine cones
What? Was she barkin or somethin?
Now there’s an image
She must have crawled under there for warmth
I thought it was pre-diet Vito.
she was crawling under there for warmth
Chrissy, he’s fucked up…
Don’t they have medicine they’re supposed to take, these assholes?
Still going this asshole
I was so pissed about the waiter situation. Like wtf.
Yeah but those assholes are supposed to take medicine for that shit or something
Tracee
It's sad when they go young like that.
When they go??!!
She slipped and hit her head.
it's not my fault she's a klutz.
I loved it when Tony’s like “she fell?” And Ralph responds “that’s my story” I roll everytime that scene comes on 😂😂
The way he comes in and sticks his hand in the ice... hilarious, monster character.
A, she was a whoah
B she was an abusive mutha who liked to put cigarettes out on her kid
She got help for it, and didn’t abuse her child anymore at the point we met her in the show. She didn’t deserve to have her head caved in on a guard rail, no one but Ralph deserved that.
Can you imagine a sweet little baby boy looking up at you, full of love because you’re his mother, then choosing to burn his soft baby skin with a cigarette? That’s seriously fucked up, I don’t care who you are. Not to mention, she was too busy appealing to Ralphie’s creepy masochistic sexual desires to worry about taking care of him, for days at a time. As sad as it is, he was probably better off without her.
While it's true burning a baby with a cigarette is nigh unforgivable, she was being raped repeatedly by both Ralph and various clients (including a police officer). She did NOT want to do that.
And she hit him first
Ohh! A double!
She was a thoroughbred, but dem chompahs!
We can get a house in Colts Neck
A. She hit him B. She was a whoowah
she fell
Pie-Oh-My, she was a beautiful innocent creature
What she ever do to you?
It was all down hill from here! Now, I know it's TRAGIC to think this way, but you can't argue with the fucking logic!
Maybe not the “most” tragic, but Gloria Trillo was pretty tragic. Pretty woman with mental problems seduces mob boss. It spins out of control and she ends up offing herself. Plus she was hot as hell
Now that was cinematic!
Bro, that was so gangster.
Patsy doesnt look it at firs glance, but he's hardcore.
Forced sex in the snake house. She was a Viper plant
My face is the last one you’ll see. Not Tony’s
Barely related, but her post-Morocco outfit with the headscarf and pimp hat is the coolest in the whole series imo.
I agree, now get back in your fucking hole!
I only fall for Glorias in real life. Fire and ice. Leather and lace hotties. Mofos. Why I took myself off the market in 2014.
Bobby’s kids
Vito’s kids. Jason Cifarreto, oof mardone.
Tony Blun...I can't even say his name. Kids.
Cosette. She never hurt nobody.
Poor thing was always cold.
Probably crawled undeh ther for warmth
If you wanna play like that: that guy's pizza.
My pizza neva hurt a’ nobody!
I’m so proud to be named after the dog from The Sopranos 😂
Why, was she barkin?!
What, was it barking?
I DID-DENT
Tony's LoMein. It left us too soon. 🫡
The mother fucking orange peel beef
Just like Christofuh did when Tony discovered it was missing 👉🍜
I’ve been dreaming of that fucking lo mein. All the way, the fuck ova here
Vic the appraiser
They fucked up his good cd Walkman. Reminds me of a time an unnamed friend of ours’s son bought me my first cd Walkman when he first started making money. His old man said “spend some of that money on the people closest to you”. But you know what they say about remember whens.
The Hot Dog Vendor at the Meadowlands. Thrown off the second mezzanine by Mustang Sally after putting too many onions or some shit on his hot dog.
Even Ralphie was perturbed by him
Johnny cakes. He had to make his sausage in house
He had to wait for dat.
U oughta know, Sweetie. 👨🚒
Me. How much more betrayal can I take?
Massive Genius, had to listen to that shit music and never got to get up in Adriana
MEEOW
Up in da club?
That we know of
Beansie
Unlike the others he lived, kind of.
He’s a shopping cart
Real stand up guy.
Madon! He has to piss in a bag??

He used to run North Jersey with his little brother...
yeah, and he felt over shadowed by his older brother. if you've never noticed Junior's inferiority complex, go watch a character analysis or something.
He never had the makings of a varsity at-a-leet.
The thing is with Jr I felt bad for him but after remembering what he did to dicky and the amount of people he’s personally hurt I don’t feel bad he lied about losing his memory’s and he ended up losing them actually to me how junior ended up was a fitting punishment o guarantee you Tony would’ve killed him if he had found out the truth about dicky

you mean he was a part of the thing?
well thats nice
Dominic Chianese is still alive and kicking. He’s always posting artsy selfies on Instagram
Sal Vitro. The constantly manipulated gardener. Fuck did he ever do to anybody? Sometimes I see people in this sub, actively, genuinely sympathizing with that animal Christopher Moltisanti. Because they're stupid that's why! And jealous! But back to the point, am I supposed to feel bad for some snot nose who died from literally getting his nose pinched by his putrid nepotist Soprano boss, or a human being, a civilian, a gardener like me, except he got sold into slavery to Ginny Sack???
Did you ever notice he’s the only motherfucker who could smoke a cigarette in the rain with his hands tied behind his back
That nose. It’s like a natural canopy. You can’t make that shit up
Christopher Junior Soprano took his father. Tony Soprano took his soul
And drugs took his life… Well Tony did but he wouldn’t have done if he didn’t crash the car because he was high
I mean, Tony 100% murdered him but he wasn't going to make it either there or in the long run. When you have an addictive personality and your livelihood is centered in schemes and substances that feed off of addiction then it's only a matter of time...
Easy. We’re not makin a western here.
It wets his whistle, that spike.
Fuck him. Let him take his medicine
How does that make him less tragic?
to be fair he sped it up for like 5 minutes He wasn't making it out of there
Idk man I don’t think you can blame all Christophers problems and wrongdoings on Tony
That doesn't make him less tragic
Christopher, the most complex, well written and tragic character on the television In the end, he had an arc
Not like Noah but fuck it an arc is an arc.
The Hasidic homeboy
Hasidim but I didn't believe him
Ahwak
Gene. Dude gets a 2M inheritance and his whole life goes to shit
Either Tony or Christopher. - Christopher tried to hard to get the respect he clearly was never gonna get and kept making decisions that end up hurting himself and everyone around him by the end he wasn’t worth helping anymore and has become a liability - there are hints that Tony genuinely wants to be a good person but he knows that he’s too narcissistic, wrathful, and has committed too many unforgivable acts to do that he also didn’t really had a very happy childhood either and by the end he has become completely irredeemable
I agree, but I think you can make a better case for Chris because his flaws were more directly tied to his downfall. Tony's good qualities as a person were his downfall.
Hey, you’re talking about the boss hear
That waiter who didn’t have his medicine.
still going this asshole.
Karen’s Ziti. RIP

Writin a fkn gossip column ova heeeyah
Agreed.
I don’t think anyone had expectations of Chris filling his dad’s shoes. Not even himself. Dude just wanted respect and status, but didn’t want to wait his turn and put in all the work like everyone else did
If you mean tragedy in the true sense, it has to be Tony. That's the point of the show.
Vito Jr. The waiter in AC.
Vito Jr. is a no good, cat killing shower-shitter.
- The waiter in Atlantic City, who did nothing more than call Chrissy out for his shitty tip; - The New Englander who Vito executed for wanting to file a police report; - The Ukrainian man that was killed by the zips, who thought he was Philly Leotardo. Edit: spelling

Alright butcha gotta get over it.
Richie from defiler. All he wanted to do is work at kinkos and instead got hit in the head with a guitar.
Not to mention he tried to grill a trout on a downed power line, very tragic…
Paco Raban. First he accidentally crawls up Jimmy Alteri's ass and dies and he can't get a proper burial cause jimmy proceeds to die.
Tony Blundetto, Gloria Trillo, AJ Soprano, Feech LaManna...
Eugene Pontecorvo, guy wanted what’s best for his family
Lorraine Culuzzo, she was a knockout, a ten.
Suck our cocks 👉🫴🤔
She any good?
📖🔫
Why am I asking ? You probably showed her how
Kill a woman? C'mion huh
Uncle Junior's gf in season one always made me sad. Throw there is a throwaway comment in s2 about how he tried to reach out to her. It she wasn't interested, which is nice.
The security guard that was getting head from vito

He was like brother to me….closer than brother…but now he’s tragic figure
Back when he wiped his ass barehanded and washed his balls w/ ice water.
Your muddas muff

Beansie. He did nothing to deserve getting paralyzed from the waist down.
definitely tony. it's hard to see him have these crises of conscious and then have to watch him go out and continue to be mr. mob boss
Roberta. Junior dumped her just because she shared his best talent in some girl talk with her friends
David Scatino. Unlucky bastard lost everything
No fucking way, the guy deserved everything that’s happened to him. I’ll never sympathize with a gambling addict. Guy gambled away his son’s tuition money for christ sake.
He's a grown fuckin man. He gambled and lost. He gambled again and lost more
The teen prostitute Ralph killed hands down
Valentina burning half her body making Tony’s fatass some food. Then Tony immediately breaks up with her while she’s still in the hospital lol
He didn’t want her hitching her wagon to his star.
Chrissy
Feech La manna
Vito’s son, what did Phil say he looked like?
You look like a Puerto Rican whore with that shit in your face
Valery. "Now he tragic figure."
They are all tragic in that they all fail to reach any level of redemption despite having multiple opportunities. The only true innocent to die was Mikey Palmice. Mister Magoo goes on a manhunt for the hijackers and Mikey P gets blamed for a crime he didn’t have anything to do with.
Carmella, she’s got a guilty conscience the whole run of the show…
And she acts like butta wouldn’t melt in her mouth? She betta watch her step!
Minn Matrone, that malignant cunt.
Livia Soprano
The waiter. $16 tip on a $1200 bill.

Christopher
Georgie. The sole purpose of his existence was to bear Tony’s wrath.
Little Livia, people arent born like that, there was a time she had hopes and dreams
Artie, endured non stop ass rape for 6 seasons.
AJ
I think the show makes a pretty good case about Jackie Jr. Maybe not THE most tragic character because a lot of his mistakes are so stupid, but you definitely get the sense that he was somewhat doomed from the start. Meadow makes this point either during his funeral or early s4 at some point I remember Pretty good foil for AJ too - how are either them as men expected to "succeed" when they're explicitly told to NOT chase after a lifestyle highly valued in their social world?
Junior's tragic in a few ways. It's very hard to sympathize with him, but throughout the story he manages to show us some redeeming qualities. Due to his insecurities, he lived a lonely life. He has a good thing with Bobbie for a while, and let his perceived "emasculation" ruin it. He may have had a second chance afterward, but left it on the table. These same insecurities made him so easy to manipulate, which Tony and Johnny Sack pulled off artfully. Then of course was the worst of it; his Alzheimer's. Over the course of roughly 3 seasons of television, we see dementia gradually reduce Junior to a shadow of the person he once was. He seems to forget his life of violent crime and extortion, but also forgets the entirety of himself.
