She would have wound up in debt to him as a result and he'd probably have used it to guilt her into sleeping with him or something
Yeah the Mexican rapist should have died and the idea that "it would have made her just as bad" is stupid but the Mafia aren't jannies, they don't do things for free
>but the Mafia aren't jannies, they don't do things for free
Tony wouldn't have charged her anything. He was in love with her so much that the idea that some disgusting rapist touched her would drive him insane. He wouldn't be able to stop himself, Tony would of had the rapists balls cut off in an abandoned warehouse before the end of the night.
Consider how Melfi had to convince Tony not to go after that teacher that was fricking his students. Do you really think he was going to send the daughter's parents a bill for services rendered?
>Tony wouldn't have charged her anything.
The show make it painfully clear that's not how it work
Mobsters are predatory in nature, they always leverage anything at their disposal, people who want to use them for "shortcuts" always end up paying a price down the line
Explain what he was leveraging against miss "happy birthday mr president" then
Nothing in the show because nothing happened with her, nor the racetrack
>payment
>profit
It's not about money, it's just that Tony does whatever he want to got what he want
He want to frick Melfi at some point, do you genuinely believe he wouldnt bring the murder of the rapist to her over and over again just to pressure her?
>It's not about money, it's just that Tony does whatever he want to got what he want
So when he curb-stomped that one guy for insulting his daughter, how did that benefit him? Was he expecting anything from Meadow? Gratitude for being a protective father from that entitled princess? Don't make me laugh.
Tony knew damn well that would lead to war between him and New York and he did it anyways. For the same reason he would have butchered the man who raped Dr. Melfi.
Basic male instincts to protect and provide for those we care about.
You're basically reinforcing the exact point I'm making here: Tony does whatever the frick he want and doesnt care about how it affect the people around him
That's not the same thing as saying
>Tony does whatever the frick he wants because he expects a reward or payment for doing whatever the frick he wants
>Tony does whatever the frick he wants because he expects a reward
I dont think you understand the mechanic here, he doesnt "expect" anything, he just use people
He doesnt "expect" anything when he offer his help to Melfi, in his mind he's a good guy just righting a wrong
But if she did accept his help, later when he wanted to frick her he would 100% use it to apply pressure to her till he get what he want
It's not really premeditated or even conscious, it's just how he is
>Tony does whatever the frick he want
is tony soprano a earthrocker?
He died like one
Thats revenge, not protection.
Yeah gonna disagree on that one. It's revenge AND sending a message (protection): "Don't ever fricking touch my daughter".
if he knew it was going to start a war. how is that protection?
I never said he was smart about it.
In fact now that I think about this more let's take it a step further. If all he wanted was revenge he would have snatched Coco away quietly and tortured him for weeks, or hired a 3rd party to do it. Whatever it takes so New York wouldn't know it was him.
Instead what did he do? Walked into a cafe in broad daylight and threatened everyone at gun point while he fricked up a high ranking New York mobster where everyone saw. Knowing damn well Phil wasn't going to like it.
have benny fazio drive icepicks in his balls. From New Yorks perspective tony just walked into their version of satriales, beat one of their made guys half to death, and stuck a gun in the face of a high ranking mobster. How did he not expect extreme consequences for his impulsive rage fueled rampage?
>his impulsive rage fueled rampage
This is my point. He's not thinking in terms of favors or repayment. He's "thinking" (if you can call it that) in pure hatred. Someone threatened somebody that he cares about, and that person has to die (or at least suffer for it). There are negative consequences but he can't let it go.
The same thing would have happened if Melfi told Tony what happened to her. He wouldn't be thinking "Okay if I ice this parasite she'll give me a blowjob". He'll only be thinking "MURDER MURDER MURDER".
> So when he curb-stomped that one guy for insulting his daughter, how did that benefit him?
It made him feel better…
>it didn’t benefit him
What are you smoking?
So the same Tony Soprano that had to be convinced by multiple people (Melfi included) not to tear apart a school teacher fricking an underage girl out of pure hatred alone - with no implication that Tony even knew their parents or expected some kind of payment for that - was going to take out a rapist that hurt a woman he was obsessively in love with on the expectation that she'll owe him? The same Tony Soprano that punched a made guy after he killed a stripper that was annoying him constantly?
I don't believe that for one second. Even Tony, mobster that he is, isn't motivated solely by profit. There have been plenty of times where he's stepped in and did what he felt was right, even at his expense.
>So the same Tony Soprano that had to be convinced by multiple people (Melfi included) not to tear apart a school teacher fricking an underage girl out of pure hatred alone - with no implication that Tony even knew their parents
Exactly. He knew Melfi. How can the parents be implicated in a murder when they don’t know the murderer?
>or expected some kind of payment for that
Tony Soprano didn’t do anything without expecting something on the other end. He was an emotional vacuum with deep unfulfilled needs.
>was going to take out a rapist that hurt a woman he was obsessively in love with on the expectation that she'll owe him?
Yes. Because he was a narcissist.
>
The same Tony Soprano that punched a made guy after he killed a stripper that was annoying him constantly?
And yet had no problem with his consiglieri running a strip club where women were regularly used and abused. The same Tony Soprano who terrorized a woman with a baseball bat over money (except it wasn’t about money because again, narcissist).
I honestly don’t understand why you think people who are like this love others in healthy ways. Every relationship is abusive on some level. They don’t operate like a normal person because they aren’t normal. Melfi would have been in a position where he had massive leverage over her and the police wouldn’t be able to protect her. Having a narcissist “in love” with you is not a safe position where you want something like a murder hanging over your head.
>ooh nooo I will have to get let this chad italian-american mafia boss with millions in cash frick my pussy once every week boohoo poor me 🙁
I fricking hate women. They can live on easy mode if they wanted to but choose not to.
sex
Yes.
The rapist? Italian
obviously
>you should owe a debt to a mob boss
Did you even pay attention to the show?
She could have done the whole fake refusal thing in order to avoid being in Tonys debt, but she didn't. She genuinely didn't want Tony to kill the guy for moral reasons.
Tony is crazy though and would flip on her in an instant when he has a bad day and decides she owes him something
Humiliation Ritual
This dumb c**t should have stayed as a framing device like in the 1st episode. Making her a full character is the worst mistake the show made, right next to meadows Black person israelite boyfriend.
t. didn’t get it
NTA but what did I missed?
Theres nothing to get. Shes wasted screen time every single time it focuses on her. I dont give 2 fricks about her crying about some lady smoking at the table next to her. Letting her rapist get away doesnt make her "strong". Including the rape at all wasnt interesting and added nothing to the plot.
>a framing device like in the 1st episode.
>exposition by therapy
they should have just done it office-style where tony looks directly into an interview camera to monologue to the audience
Would have brought the show from a warm 6/10 to a solid 8/10. Have Carm and Paulie speak their piece too. Nobody else.
>I knew it was too much pulp and bought it anyway
>steals 10s of thousands of dollars in cash from the bird feeder
>still b***hes and moans about money despite never wanting for anything
>kids sneaking out
>grab the AK
I disagree, her arguments with her bleeding heart moron ex husband are kino
>she sees tony as a vicious dog
>doesn't end up fricking him
most unbelievable part of the show
>every woman in the show wants to frick Toni at some point
That’s unbelievable
my mom said she had a crush on him when she was watching the show when it was still running
its not unbelievable
your mom had a crush on everyone. especially the mail man
when the police found melfi she had a pool cue up her ass.
>tony is known to be paranoid and violent
>sick him on attacker
>I now "owe him"
>I know have first hand knowledge of a murder tony committed
>one day tony gets paranoid I might go the the feds
>raped and killed by gabagool breath as a precaution
Rape is just latinx culture. She was being enriched.
At least we get yummy tacos and burritos. Part and parcel as our friends in England say.
>Rape
That's essential element in white culture. Very allegorical
THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS POSTULATED SEVEN SOULS
FRICKIN QUEERS
kek, this was the episode that sealed the deal of the show being poorly written for me. ironically, the best episodes come after this with Gloria. But still. This episode and the absolute ridiculous contrivance of it all is so bad that I subconsciously block it out of memory to pretend Sopranos is good as cope for the fact that so much of TV is shit that I need to call atleast SOMETHING "good"
All I gotta say is that this is one of my fave rape scenes. No cringe dom/ sub power dynamic shit like 90% of Cinemaphile rape. Just a rando hit and run.
