No, that would've made her powerful in the eyes of the mobsters. They probably would've expected Tony to step up take the rap & go to jail. Now if Tony would've done that is the real question 🤔????
Knowing how everyone in that family acts (junior, Livia, Tony, Janice) there is absolutely no doubt in mind that Livia would have went to trial against her son… I mean she did knowingly try to get him whacked 😂
@@TheMisterGuy initially I was gonna say you make a good point but after further thinking about it… the sopranos proves over and over that everyone in that life is out for themselves and themselves only… Tony gave tips to the police, there’s a theory that Tony’s dad was an informant The only one that didn’t talk(that I can think of) is junior… and even then he took the charges on the chin not because of his loyalty but because he was proud and envious of the Boss title. He was an old old man with no kids or real family other then Tony. He was also completely reliant on Tony and his crew for income during his trial and therefore couldn’t have snitched if he wanted to. There’s no doubt in my mind Livia would have done everything in her power to mess with Tony because she was angry at Tony for putting her in a nursing home and whether she needed to be put in one or not doesn’t matter… Once a narcissist views you as an enemy and has reason in their own mind to be vengeful and vindictive GOOD LUCK. She would have drug Tony down to the depths of hell if she could have.
@@loganerb3952 "initially I was gonna say you make a good point but after further thinking about it… the sopranos proves over and over that everyone in that life is out for themselves and themselves only" The Sopranos is a show about people who are psychopaths, sociopaths, narcissists, etc. Just because the characters on the show are almost all that way doesn't prove that it's like that in real life. And even on the show, there are characters who aren't. They're just not major characters because that's not what the show is about. "The only one that didn’t talk(that I can think of) is junior…" What about Phil? I heard he was in for something like twenty months, not a peep. Or Feech, even when he got sent back. All those characters who got released after season one were in there for ten or twenty years and kept their mouths shut. "She would have drug Tony down to the depths of hell if she could have." She kind of did, don't you think? "There’s no doubt in my mind Livia would have done everything in her power to mess with Tony because she was angry at Tony for putting her in a nursing home and whether she needed to be put in one or not doesn’t matter" IT'S A RETIREMENT COMMUNITY! LIKE THE ONE CAPTAIN TIBES RAN!
Livia's ability to hide her cunning behind a facade of vacuous foolishness was on another level. Nancy Marchand did a phenomenonal job. Compare it to the character Pycelle, from Game of Thrones, which was so on the nose.
Thank you for a brilliantly insightful episode. "Plurasy ???". 😂😂😂. We have to think that if Livia lived long enough to testify, from how well we know the characters , she wouldn't have made it to the witness box🤷♂️
I love Livia but also grateful I never had one like her as a mother. Just a great character whose entertaining as well as devious, the true boss of the family
All the times I've watched the show and only just now realized Junior says, "suits--pleurisy?" instead of "plural." Maybe I should ne put in one of those high end nursing homes run by Captain Teebs.
I never could understand why Livia would want to take her own son down. First, she let it slip that Tony was the one who burned down Artie's restaurant, which almost got him killed. Then, she pretty much set him with Junior which came really close to getting him killed, and who knows what else she what have done if she had lived. But the whole time I'm like, why?
Livia is the older version of Carmela, we saw a glimpse of what she was to become. Remember how Livia said no one cared for her & how Carmela was trying to hold on to her growing children 🤔, she would eventually start adapting Livia's talking points.....just like AJ!!!!!
@@michaelfetter5413 I said Carmela is going to turn into what Livia was in her older age. Remember Livia saying"I gave my life to my children"🤔, & u saw Carmela have nothing but her children who were turning into young adults. Remember Tony saying let's have another baby. She was going to b alone & her children were going to b living their own lives........she knew Tony wouldn't b around!
Would Livia have testified against Tony?
Yes
Definitely
In a heartbeat
No, that would've made her powerful in the eyes of the mobsters. They probably would've expected Tony to step up take the rap & go to jail. Now if Tony would've done that is the real question 🤔????
@@ReverendSam1 fuck no he wouldn’t. Tony was the most selfish character at the end, as we see greatly from the last episodes.
Tony: My own muda, a spy!
Livia: Oh, poor you!

I don't know, they seem to be OK with assassination attempts or just directly killing each other, but not talking to the law.

@@loganerb3952 omg i wish you were my life coach fr lol & thank you for sharing!
Janice too crazy broads lol
I so wish youd start with “hey sopranos fan-o’s” one time
Love these videos!

Pycelle is hilarious. But you can see from a mile away taht he can't even understimated.
Yo, I love these Laws of Power videos. Keep up the great content dude!
Yay, a Livia episode!
If anyone shot Tony it was himself. He's a depression-case.
A distinct possibility. Thanks for watching!

Another great video, my friend👍👍 The Churchill quote at the end was supreme.
When someone doesn't laugh at your dumb jokes it doesn't mean they aren't on your side: it means they aren't a yes man!
Tony really was running a popularity contest.
I love Livia but also grateful I never had one like her as a mother. Just a great character whose entertaining as well as devious, the true boss of the family
Livia could do 20 years at Green Grove without a peep
Eating cheese of the radiator
Does Bobby satisfy law only transgressing when he fights Tony and then is punished for it?
There is a show for the 48 laws of Power. It’s called Power. It’s streamed on Starz and is co produced by 50 cent
Am I the only person who liked detective Makazian.
That last part you said is true, but very unfortunate. 😢
Livia was so good at irritating, she did it to me while I was watching the show.
Yes the Livia using the tickets to fuck over Tony was supposed to be a major plot line.
There are interviews with writers who said as much.
I would add, Livia was also adept at: Law 8: Make Other People Come to You - Use Bait if Necessary
I think she would defiantly start testifying , but may conveniently have memory issues once on the stand.
I use the 14th law of power when figuring out who do light a spliff around.
Why did Livia even have Tone of he hates him some much

Tony Sopranos' mother could have taken down Darth Vader
Greene Grove 😂
Livia would have gotten more satisfaction out of torturing Tony. I don't think she would've testified against Tony.
0:59 watch out with that Black Cube mention, your TH-cam channel might wind up completely f’in ostrafied and abandoned.
I don't get it.
Care to explain?
Did she run that woman over on purpose?
Hard to say imho lol
Ya never know who’s in theyah😂
Liv hated Junior, that why she played him. If watch Many Saints Liv was not a fan of Junior
Ehh many saints has so many plotholes

hard disagree. We see young Livia and she isn't like Carmela. Carmela doesn't wear Tony down
