That's what is meant by "spoiling" a kid
Maybe him becoming a good for nothing douche has to do with the fact that he figured out that his father murders people for a living.
it couldn't possibly be because tony is a shit father, could it? the only reason meadow turned out successful is because she made it her mission to become mostly detached from her family whereas AJ was the sort of person who needed constant support and approval while never receiving it
meadow is a fricking bawd prostitute cum receptacle that's why she turned out alright
Shes by far one of the worst people on the show
incel take
Meadow is fricking annoying and the more spoiled of the two, if she was a dude you’d hate her more than AJ.
Trannies (you) are literally incels.
daughter that hot literally can't fail
how many loads do you think she swallowed?
Tony's only goal was to keep his kids out of it. Meadow is working for a mafia lawyer with a Parisi and AJ is working with Little Carmine. Tony failed.
She'll be fine. I mean she will be a scumbag lawyer getting criminal wops out of the chair but she'll be fine. Nobody messes with the lawyers.
Her being at risk was not the point. She may be legit, but her and AJ will never escape their Faustian bargain that began with their grandfather Johnny Boy.
Aj was a chad he had multiple gfs.
Pre social media dating must’ve been incredible
>be skinny 5'11 italian from a poor family
>I've had 4 GFs this year
You're just autistic bro
Jesus anon at least I don't make them gfs, it's inhuman what you're doing.
Four Jersey bawds amount to one actual girl, so good job.
Spoiled kid that knows he won't live up to Tony's expectations. Plus they're always gonna have that generational barrier between the two of them that makes it hard for them to empathize with each other.
Tony may have not been the best dad emotionally etc but he actually apologised to him and said the words ‘I couldn’t ask for a better son’ do you know what I would of done for my dad to say that to me once. Aj knows nothing of pain
Tony also said AJ is a genetic dead end
Not to his face
>LOOK AT HIM? THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE MY FRIGGIN' HEIR?!
He kinda did
He apologised though as previously stated. Not excusing his father skills but I’d like to see anyone else do better with the shitty childhood he had.
he was going to raise a Hispanic child, he is worse than a genetic dead end
my dad was kind of a douche and never once explained himself or his outbursts. so i'm not sure if tone is a good father or not.. murderous sociopathy aside..
Feel you
This
My parents screamed how entitled I was for asking for some lozenges while choking on phlegm from a sinus infection
AJ has no idea how lucky he has it
honestly your parents were right and your a total b***h
>posting a fox news homosexual.
Is Greg Gutfield actually funny? Should I actually start watching his shit?
hi moron zoomers welcome to class
>My parents screamed how entitled I was for asking for some lozenges while choking on phlegm from a sinus infection
lmfao. if i asked my father for a lozenge he'd say
>LOSS-SENGE?
>YOU NEED A WHAT?
>MOFRICKER...
>I WALKED 20 MILES THROUGH NEWARK SCHOOLS IN THE FREEZING COLD
>WHAT IS A MOTHAFRICKIN' LOSS-SENGE?
>you askin' for a cough drop, moron?
trust me when i tell you my dad was 100x more like tony...
if you didn't play a sport that while your dad vicariously lived through it...
AJ managed to recover a fumble in a meaningful moment in a football game
you kids wouldn't have shown up to practice.
you kids would have been EATEN ALIVE in AAU sports...
AJ at least tried. with a totally delusional father who thinks his dwarf son can be a FRICKING LINESMAN lol
be glad you never had to face the lebron's of the world at age 12.
As a kid, my dad signed me up for basketball, baseball, flag football, and soccer. I was miserably awful at all of them and had to beg him to not make me play, sometimes getting on my knees and crying. He was great in high school sports and resented me for being shit.
i'm older than you are you stupid little butt fricking homosexual son of a b***h c**t new gay little twerp. frick off. stupid fricking moron. go jerk off a dog. c**t.
there's millions of AJs out there right now because people who shouldn't be parents did become parents
>kills self
jfc AJ i'm sure they weren't that bad. i mean i'm israeli so i wouldn't want to eat treif but frick..
Just because you yids dont eat pork doesnt mean israelites eat nasty shit anyways. Every one I met was a white bread homosexual.
cool i've got no idea what any of that means but good for you. treif is permissible if it's life or death fyi but otherwise keep on keeping on i guess
As an AJ the best explanation I can give is that it's not really a "few times". Make a mistake in school? Get screamed at. Didn't finish homework before dinner? Get screamed at. Speak slightly out of turn to mom? Get screamed at. Video games after 8? Get screamed at. You're home 5 minutes late on a weekend? Get screamed at.
I had parents getting mad at every little thing and I basically ended up with an avoidant personality. I also never tell them whenever I need help or have an issue because the very first thing they will do is to put the blame on me.
It got better with age but holy shit it socially stunted me in my teenage and early 20s.
Tony is a terrible father, are you serious? Even ignoring Tony's mental health issues, toxic behaviors, and projected insecurities, Tony didn't even have a formula for AJ to follow since everything Tony knew was geared to being a wiseguy, something he didn't want for AJ at all. So now AJ has Tony's shit brains, bad habits, is spoiled, and has to deal with how to be a man and provide in a way thats acceptable to Tony but doing everything his own way? And succeeding? Its basically impossible. AJ's only options were to run away and start a new life (we see glimpses of this but he never commits), follow in his dad's footsteps (which Tony knows he's not built for and doesn't want for him), or to meander through life in some kind of broken compromise between these two (which is basically what he does to Tony's disappointment).
So tldr: Tony is a garbage role model for AJ, what did you expect?
>give kid material riches
>deprive him of effective fatherhood
AJ was right to hate his dad, boomers struggle to understand that money doesn’t make up for spiritual emptiness
>boomers struggle to understand that money doesn’t make up for spiritual emptiness
I don't get it, my pops has worked 3 straight over time weekends as manufacturing technician so he can afford to sit alone (divorced of course) in a McMansion above his means, literally do nothing but sit in his lazy boy and binge 2A youtube and text scamming sugarbabies giving him the run around. No energy to do literally anything, nothing to spend his OT pay, no friends, brags about swiping an antique oil can from work that "might be worth $40" -like wtf are your priorities killing yourself through work to languish in a big empty house while you shop at Aldi and subsist on bread and sausage meat.
Drag him to a family thing and he's a damn mute with nothing to contribute but occasional boomer rage tantrums. Miserable frick can do nothing but issue commands, observations and corrections to how you're doing something the wrong way, yell and cuss under his breath around the house in stewing rage all the time, nearly getting into road rage accidents all the time. Gee why don't your kids want to be around you?
Then the stupid frick goes and gets 3 big exotic birds that he treats like paintings on the wall with mountains of shit piling up in their cage, no attention screaming at him til he screams back and shoves the cage in a closet. The macaw parrots knows how to scream and say "shut-up" that's it, poor birds.
this sounds exactly like my old man. currently drinking himself to death
>born in the best economy ever
>owns a house worth half a mil, paid 60k for it
>could have owned a 1mil house if he wasn't a moron that insisted on living across the street from his brother who he doesn't even talk to
>house has been falling apart for the past 10 years, doesn't care
he's a miserable person, no idea why he had kids or got married
That image should be Crissy.
>Ay Tone, so I gotta a great idea for a game, if you could fund me. It's Pokemon meets Sonic the Hedgehog. It's what all the kids are into these days.
2A Youtube? Second Ammendment?
What the frick?
yea like daily vlog updates on court cases and ATF shit. single issue voter types. it's a whole not so little cottage industry under arms and ammo/prepper umbrella
Typical nintentoddler
>why did my son stay inside and play videogames and not become a degenerate criminal scumbag like me?!
AJ is like the lesser of two evils, OP.
>not become a degenerate criminal scumbag like me?!
he helped burn a dudes toes off. Frick him.
I don't even remember that. I haven't seen the show in years.
>I don't even remember that. I haven't seen the show in years.
It's one of the last 4 episodes.
I only remember the cut to black finale, like everyone else. I've been meaning to rewatch the series.
it was a joke!
Tony raised his son to fear him and by extension fear the world. Fear of confrontation, of authority, of older people, other people, of taking up space, being out of place, expressing his thoughts and even simply using his material voice.
As long as AJ is under Tony's yoke that dynamic will not change - hence all the primordial mythology about patricide and "moving out" becoming your "own man"
I'm exactly like this as an adult yet my dad was a loving guy that always made me feel secure and appreciated; what gives?
We're the makers of our own destiny. Idiots like that other anon blame the parents.
you are what you are. how come i'm not making pots in fricking peru?
>how come i'm not making pots in fricking peru?
Because you either tried and failed or you didn't try at all. Either way, it's on you.
>Idiots like that other anon blame the parents.
I think you're the idiot because I was pretty clear in the 2nd part of my post that change is possible but you must first remove yourself from the conditions of your conditioning and the parents control - things don't magically "fix" themselves especially once you're off the automated milestone treadmill through highschool.
You absolutely can grow and become a better and less traumatized version of yourself - for a lot of people that means therapy but you're probably a moron that thinks that's a scam for women too
I'm the same way except my dad hated and resented me. I haven't spoken with him in 11 years but I had a dream he showed up at my job to call me a pussyless cuckold.
your uncle molested you and you forgot
sorry to remind you
Someone else in your life made you fear.
>buying your kids things is all you need to do to be a good dad
>you don't have to actually talk to them or bond with them or teach them things like a real father
Was my father a writer for the Sopranos? Is that where he actually was for my whole childhood?
AJ is one of the most accurate depictions of a depressive person in media
>lazy
>avoids responsibility
>difficulty at socializing
>feels very strongly about things out of his control
on top of the usual feelings of worthlessness and nihilism. The best part of this is that he gradually becomes like this, in the earlier seasons he acted like a normal kid.
I'M SUPPOSED TO GO AROUND LOOKNG FOR LEAVES?!?!
favorite AJ quotes?
>they said hotel rooms cost like 5 dollars back then. room service must have been 50 cents!
You just reveal your own ignorance
I REVEAL MY OWN WHA?
>How about the fact that I hate my son? I come home and his sitting in front of the computer in his frickin underwear. Wasting his time in some chit chat room going back and forth like some other frickin jerk off giggling like a school girl. Frickin smash his frickin face in.
Haha can you imagine being that pathetic? Haha
I literally had to pause the episode a bit when this came up because it hit dead-center to home
I think we all did.
I'm afraid to say this, but Cinemaphile, and by extension Cinemaphile, has been flooded by normalgays who probably laughed and shook their heads at this scene, exclaiming loudly "what a loser! I would kill myself in his position!"
Tony was a gay, I showed my dad the internet and he was watching gore videos and torrenting stuff within a year
my dad installed napster but then freaked out after a week or so and deleted it. i reinstalled it since he was such a pussyclart about it.
>pussyclart
Is this a typo? I'm not familiar with the clart meme
Bombaclot
all he had to do was work a cushy part time supervisor role at one of his dads construction businesses. I don't know how much assets the feds would seize if Ton died but he'd almost certainly get a suitcase full of money when his Dad inevitably died. also he probably had pussy on tap because of who his Dad was. I would of been banging every stripper that was in and out of badda bing if I was him.
>he'd almost certainly get a suitcase full of money when his Dad inevitably died.
did you not pay attention during the entire series where it's flat out shown that family members of made guys don't get taken care of like they say? Tony was pretty open about stiffing widows, even Vito and Paulie were keeping money from Carmella when Tony was in the hospital.
T's family would get nothing and it was a huge plot point with Carmella throughout the series.
>proceeds to go watch TV
This little homosexual got all the worst character traits from both Tony and Carmella. Meadow turned out awesome. Some kids are just born losers and it's not really their parents faults.
That's what happens when you spoil a kid.
They grow up ungrateful and soft.
As soon as you have to put your foot down and straighten them out they act like the biggest victims in the world.
My nephew is like this, never had to want for anything, but as soon as my sister takes his electronic shit away because he's about to fail fricking high school he gets all dramatic and woe is me.
I want to collar him and give him a smack but she won't let me. Hard times and struggles build a man's character if you rob them of that they become moronic pussies.
>ME NEWPHEW DUM gayET
>HURRR DURR ME SMACK NEPHEW
>VIOLENCE FIX ALL
>ANON PUNCH PROBLEM HAHA
Yikes.
cope seethe dialate
I tried the soft approach but he's a very selfish and self centered person. Eighteen and can barely read, can't write, socially inept, gets aggressive and whines when things don't go his way, or when people ask him to do what he's suppose to.
No job just school, no chores, no responsibility but school.
Only wants to play roblox, be on discord, and do shitty OCs recoloring other people's drawings. Was kicked out of one home school program and is about to fail senior year and get kick out of this one.
But yeah I should let his mother powder his ass and not worry about it.
Not my kid. So frick em.
>but he's a very selfish and self centered person.
Thats called puberty.
nice trips
he's not alone that's for sure. hard to tell if you're even describing a problem kid or just a gen-z kid generally. pretty much all of them are sucked into the digital imaginary and see IRL as a hostile place
He's literally autistic you fricking moron. Get help from a specialist before it's too late. My dumbfrick parents lived in denial about my older brother being autistic and just told themselves he'd grow up and sort his life out eventually. Now he's a 30 year old NEET who hasn't had a job in 10 years and just plays Pokemon in his fricking room all day.
This isn't the fricking 1950's anymore. Modern problems require modern solutions. None of those people back then could even comprehend the shit we have going on in our world today.
Goddamn I hate boomers. Leave that kid alone you abusive frick.
literally me
a spastic homosexual?
FRICK YOU! FRICKKK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
this guy was based. my favorite one-off character. also, great actor
>Junior constantly jokes about Chinese people
>his only sidekick in the looney asylum is Chinese
pottery
Most likely one of your kids will a snot nosed shithead too. That's how it works.
It doesn't matter, he'll be in a very lucrative sinecure no matter what he does.
I do not get people who take some pride in having a shitty childhood.
Like, congrats, you're a dysfunctional human being.
lotta fricking balls..
the funny thing is when they try to use it against you, if you like creative stuff: ALL THE BEST ARTISTS HAD SHITTY CHILDHOOD MUUH MUUH MISERYY AWOO hehe , how about no it's not like that. if the c**t had said it helped him then ok but to generalize it and try to take something away from me: dead to me, go think about the headshot you saw as a kid cukco, and go steal some tunes some more passing them as your own
A girl straight up dumped me once because my family is too normal and therefore I'll "never understand her". Like, girl, I understand the situation perfectly. For you love is so precarious that you just reflexively shut yourself off from any connection so you can't feel let down later. Not exactly an incomprehensible mystery.
we're all living a story we tell ourselves, women have been inculcated by their media to highly dramatize their own story as that of tragic-romance and uniquely misunderstood (like male media) to give their esteem a sense of distinction and selfworth as cope. "the right man" that overwhelms her defenses is itself a fantasy, you just don't tickle her fancy. Usually girls have matured past such idealism by mid 20s when bills start coming due and shit gets real.
Reddit post
you don't get itttttt. its easy tho. he is quite young when he realized his dad is in the mafia. for a kid raised to do good it turns everything upside down, get it 'tard-o. it's bound to mess one kid up one way or the other.
In trying to keep his son "out of the life" he failed to instill anything masculine in him at all. On one hand he was upset with how weak AJ was, but on the other he never tried to instill or encourage strength in him. He's small, so frickin' what? Teach him how to hurt someone if they frick with him. He had some athletic ability too, but he should've been a runningback rather than a linebacker. When AJ showed clear delinquent behavior that should've been his wake-up call that AJ is him but smaller, dumber, and grew up rich. Being a goon for Little Carmine's mostly legit business was exactly the place he'd thrive, and it's a shame it took Tony so long to see it.
He was raised by an even bigger homosexual, objectively. I would’ve turned out bad if I knew my father murdered for a living like a fat Black person.
why is it that anytime i watch a show theres immediately several threads on Cinemaphile about it?
same thing happened with sg-1, are u guys seriously gangstalking me this hard? ur making me blush
you are the playable character and we the NPCs, now fetch those 40 boar fangs to your local grocerie store
well it's either frequency illusion or you're going schizophrenic
https://wikideck.com/Frequency_illusion
>At work, attentional bias creates an optical illusion that can lead to poor judgment, limiting our pool of available data for decision-making in the same way that availability bias, confirmation bias or frequency illusion can. We notice more Tesla cars on the road after a friend points them out – when we are primed to notice them. You probably think your neighborhood is less safe after you join an email list devoted to reporting crime incidents. Someone with attentional bias-fueled anxiety might take that a step further and have trouble reading any other emails after signing up for the crime list. A manager wired the same way might conclude that all workers steal after catching a single incident of an employee pocketing a $20 at the end of the night – ignoring hundreds of other days when dozens of employees acted honestly. It’s easy to see how dark that workplace could quickly become.[1]
>There is a known link between the Frequency Illusion and delusion, or people with anxiety and schizoprenia. The phenomenon may lead to the confirmation of delusions, and negative thoughts that the patient believes are more than mere suspicions. This happens because the Frequency Illusion confirms doubts and leads a person to think they are truths.[2][3]
>The name "Baader-Meinhof phenomenon" was coined in 1994 by Terry Mullen in a letter to the St. Paul Pioneer Press.[4] The letter describes how, after mentioning the name of the German terrorist group Baader-Meinhof once, he kept noticing it. This led to other readers sharing their own experiences of the phenomenon, leading it to gain recognition. It was not until 2005, when Stanford linguistics professor Arnold Zwicky wrote about this effect on his blog, that the name "frequency illusion" was coined.
Tony should've just let AJ into the family. He was clearly begging for it and it would've given him a little direction in life.
>endless charcuterie
b***h you KNOW tony would give AJ shit if he found out the little shit ate all the gabagool and the nearest place is like at least half an hour away
the good stuff is for DAD only
Did AJ really not know what a gutter was, or was he fricking around? He looked genuinely confused. I never got this scene.
