what was the point of his storyline? did they just need a homo scene for progressive points?
>>224012741Yes and it almost ruined the whole show. The fact we got this fag’s inner monologue while he’s doing random ass odd jobs in his little gay fantasy vacation was ridiculous.
I liked it. Vito ended up being one of the most entertaining characters.
>>224012741Network shows were required to include certain actors of characters for minimum time on screen so they would make pointless stories that would have minor characters interact to meet these requirements
>>224012741>My brother's over there
>>224012741To show the further hypocrisy of the mobsters. How they would pick and choose which mortal sins they'd actually draw the line at
>>224012741it's apparently based on true story of gay mobster getting whacked and the actor pushed for it to get more scene time.
>>224012741My understanding is the actor was a relentlessly annoying fuck irl and was constantly trying to get more screentime.Eventually he dreamed up the Vito is Gay idea and threw it at the writers and they decided to go with it, probably because of a combination of that being novel at the time and their annoyance with the actor and amusement of making him a finook.
>>224012832> Fag likes another fagWow shockers
>>224012883>>224012900>c’mon, David, it’ll be great. You can introduce the arc with a scene of me sucking a security guard’s dick in the parking lot. And then I’ll be at the gay club in gay biker gear, it’ll be hilarious. C’mon, please David I NEED THIS
>>224012932>it’ll be hilariousIt was very funny. The blood pressure medication was my favorite.
>>224012774Him being gay was fine, getting caught was one of the funnier scenes. But yeah the multi episode happy gay fantasy thing was dumb as fuck.Something more interesting would be him attempting to be a gay strip joint owner and pimp for gigalos. He also has a blackmail thing going from prominent figures. He is eventually found but he offers Tony a cut and the plot goes the same way.
>>224012741It was to show the shift in Tone's persona post-coma. Old Tone would have shared the rest of the crew's pure disgust for Vito's breaking of the mob's patriarchal traditions. Nu- Tone however had that hint of pragmatism creep through that made him at least partial to Vito's case and even shat on the other older crew member because he's not pulling as much dough as Vito. The main motifs here are money vs traditions, the carmine senior-like sober insight that they're all scum anyway who's just in it for the money vs the rose tinted myth of Johny and them being saints
>>224012741The point was to make me laugh. Literally everything to do with the gay Vito storyline was hilarious down to him having the pool cue up his ass and the way fat Dom gets killed.
>>224013270Here you fat fuck, OLAY!
>>224013241That doesn't really work, because he only has Vitos word he has something set up. If he really did, he wouldn't need Tony anyway.
>>224012741Yes, the whole Vito is gay storyline was absolutely dreadful, its one of the reasons I'll never watch the Slopranos againSlopranos has got to be the most overrated show of all time
>>224013339>If he really did, he wouldn't need Tony anyway.Well that's not true for a number of reasons. Almost all of the mob's power comes from the fact that they are a mob and not just lone guys, plus without Tony's blessing he remains in danger from a whole bunch of people.
>>224012932Lmao
>>224012774>The fact we got this fag’s inner monologue while he’s doing random ass odd jobs in his little gay fantasy vacation was ridiculous.Fuck you his workday montage fantasizing about his sandwich was one of the highlights of the entire season.
>>224013270>the way fat Dom gets killed.My favorite part of that is how Silvio is always the level head in nearly every situation, but he's the one who loses his cool first when he whacks the dust buster across Dom's stupid head.
>>224012741Yes. HBO do that often.In tokyo vice, they decided they couldn't have a show about a man, even though it was based on a book about a man written by a man....So they invented a female character who is a prostitute and she's fucking ugly and has an extremely unpleasant personality, and HALF OF THE SHOW is dedicated to her life.
>>224013241It was not. It was because an executive told them they had to have a gay character and a minimum amount of screen time dedicated to him and his vile fudge packing adventures.
>>224012919It’s only gay if you’re on bottom. And on a related note, when I want to hear your opinion, I pull your face out of the pillow.
>>224013628GET BACK IN YOUR FUCKIN’ HOLE!
Catching? Not pitching?
>>224013043>But yeah the multi episode happy gay fantasy thing was dumb as fuck.It consists of about three scenes and makes a good point about these fucks rather dying than adjusting to normal life.
>>224015603>even though it was based on a book about a man written by a man....They took the basic concept and rewrote everything because the book is just retarded lies from a Jewish pathological liar who was so annoying that they kicked him out from the set.
>>224015603>>224016243lol what
