Pretty much. The decade-plus worth of loser-@$$, invective towards Noah is nearly 100% from loser @$$ white male fans who IRL average looking women like Meadow wouldn't lower herself to date let alone have s3x with.
@@prometheusjackson8787yeah that’s unnecessary heat on Tony. That’s the only reason he even went the intimidation route, he felt that was the best/only move. The most feasible move.
That's what most pseudo tough guys do. Or the ones who can't admit their anger is half the result of not being able to beat the person who wrongs them. A real fighter just hauls off and swings when spoken to the way Tony did to Noah. Then of course,there's the internet,where all the tough guys hang out.😁
@@davidgangemi3314 Yeah I'm with you on all of the above. The internet allows posturing without repercussion. If everyone had their home address tagged to what they post then the internet would be the most civil place on the planet.
If the idea of striking Tony had so much as even passed through Noah's mind in that moment (as opposed to days later), T would have given him the Coco treatment
4:15. I"m a musician and audio engineer. One day, many years ago when I was working as a recording engineer at a studio in New York City, we were booked to record a pop singer named Cynthia. There was a producer whose name escapes my memory, but he was an excellent musician. He was producing Cynthia’s pop record because the pay was good. A big Italian guy named Mike was the executive producer. Mike reeked of money (for obvious reasons, I prefer not to elaborate on this point). He wanted us to record basic rhythm tracks and a scratch vocal for Cynthia’s song. This wasn’t going to be a problem: the producer (I regret I cannot recall his name) was a talented, skilled, and experienced musician who knew what he was doing, and so did I. And Cynthia was very easy to work with. Mike left, and we did our work. It all went smoothly. Now, I had recorded a rough reference mix on cassette, and we left the mix on the multitrack on the console. Mike returned to see how we were doing. We had accomplished everything we set out to do. So, I played what we did from the multitrack. Mike didn’t like it. He said it was OK, but it needed something. So, he started playing with the faders on the console. His contributions made a complete mess of the mix, with the VU meters slamming into the red on every track we recorded. He said it sounded a little better, but not quite what he wanted (keep in mind this was NOT the finished product). Then I said “Mike, give this a listen.” Then, giving the producer a quick look and wink, I played the cassette of the exact same mix Mike didn’t like. Mike listened to it and said “Now THAT’S what it should have been the first time!”
I was watching this series a couple days ago and was going to comment asking when you were getting back to it, this is by far my favourite video series you’re doing right now 😁😁 love the channel brotha 👊
8:24 As mentioned in the earlier video, this is no mere fan-theory, but a deliberately telegraphed message to the audience; Phil literally being in, then coming out of, the room's closet. That wasn't a writer's joke, but a writer's message for the audience 👍👍👍👍
Remember when Carm slapped Tony and he was all 'what the fucks the matter with you?" and basically shrugged her off? That would have happened to Noah, then Noah would've been transferred to that 'George Washington slept here' house...
Ha ha Noah punches Tony as hard as he can just inside the front door. Tony staggers back and gets a bloody lip. He does look angry for a microsecond, but then he smiles and offers Noah his hand and apologizes for antagonising him with something like: "I always knew you cantaloupes weren't all filled with yellow." Everything else happens exactly as the show because Tony never took revenge for stupid or weak reasons.
I'm enjoying these videos but getting the strong impression that this 'laws of power'/ Maciavelli stuff is basically like astrology but for power hungry and or strategically minded men. As in the analysis rings true but it's so vague and multi factor that a clever person could plug anything or its opposite into the 'law' anecdotally and it would ring true. Like I'm sure if BW tried he could make a similarly strong case for why arguments are more effective than action, cause really both a true depending on the particulars. Like just off the tip of my head there is the time Johnny Sack convinces uncle Junior to lower his tax on Hesh, the time Tony convinced Chris to stick with the mob instead of a move career (a little aggression but mostly was just an argument), the time tony convinces uncle Jun to not eat alone ( ie spread the tax on He's umungst the captains) it goes on and on really. Of course none of the arguments would matter for much if there was no reputation for action, but by the same token action would be too costly if you had to do it all the time instead of mixing it up with argument/discourse. So the law is just like astrology, only seems insightful when the common occurrence of opposites is disregarded.
When it comes to these very vague laws, you're right. But there are more specific ones where you can't impose your interpretation on them, for example the situation of using underbosses for enforcing unpopular decisions so that you are isolated from the blowback. (Although, I don't know if that video was out when you commented this)
5:33 Because Tony knew that if things got physical between him and Richie, Richie would go savage, and wipe the floor with him: Sure, Tony's a big guy, he has strength, so he could somewhat endure a fight, as when he started that fight with Muscles, and when he fought and (eventually) kiIIed Ralph, but Richie was a very different creature to either of those guys; he was expIosively fast, brutal, and guaranteed to fight dirty, so he would have been able to out-power Tony's inherent strength/endurance... Tony knew which fights he could win, which ones he couldn't, and he didn't ever cut loose physically unless he knew 100% that he could not lose (hence why Pu$$y got shot, rather than say, being garrotted, where it'd then be an equal fight between two chubbers, and not a guaranteed win for Tony) 👍👍👍👍
Another power law that Jackie should have learned is that following in the foot steps of greatness is a way to only lose power. Robert Greene writes that if your father is powerful and successful you need to differentiate yourself from him as much as possible so you’re not constantly compared to him. Since Jackie tried so hard to be like his father he would only be compared to him and seen as inferior. I think it’s rule 41 or 40.
If Noah punched Tony, nothing much would happen, at least not immediately. Noah is a nobody, and harming nobodies brings unwanted attention and his daughter would never forgive him. At most, Tony would have given him a few blows and sent him on his way then it would be forgotten about within a few weeks. Months or years down the line however, when Meadow is no longer romantically involved with Noah, who knows what accidents could happen...
I genuinely think Tony would have murdered or at least badly injured Noah had he tried anything with him. But it doesn't really matter since Noah would have never attacked Tony, that was some of the saddest and least credible posturing ever from him.
I think Phil was so deeply closeted in his mind he didn’t even admit to himself he was gay he just went over the top with the homophobia like some gay men do before they accept themselves. I don’t think Phil would have EVER faced that about himself though.
@@MichelangeloVA Phil was very clear he never did that in prison and chose to masturbate instead..He addressed it directly. I think it was subconscious, he wasn’t aware of it.
Your so wrong about meadow! She’s the smartest and most gangster and loyal person on the show! She’s street smart book smart and knows how to keep her mouth shut! Just not a good driver!
Even the actor is too young to suffer through the diverse pain Tony would have enriched him with... so there could be no fight scene, since even an act would destroyed him.
Sopranos fans are lowkey jealous of Noah cuz he got all up in meadow and left her, dodging that bullet literally and figuratively
But Meadow was the only reason he didn't get whacked earlier
@@prometheusjackson8787 WTF are you talking about ? Noah was in no danger of getting "whacked" at any time.

Noah wouldn't have the balls to punch Tony. He said that days later from miles away and to people who wouldn't repeat it.

How do you foresee and plan against manipulation?

I love this series, keep up the good work, look forward to it every time it comes out, any chance of making one using the show mad men as a backdrop?
Didn't he nearly drown in 2 inches of water?
Lol
The wheel turned, and not the wheels XD
Glad you picked up on that! Thanks for watching
Very observant
Noah was never going to punsh Tonny , him saying it was just a pathetic way of being manly infront of Meadow.
Noah Tennebaum was one of our favourites?He was a self-centred, conceited child, who had grown up without any boundaries by his permissive mother.
What if Noah Punched Tony? Just post it as a Short 😂

NO POSSIBILITY WHATSOEVER he just like a dramatic entrance ?
I don't think the joke was lost on Phil. I think he did it intentionally.
Everyone but their grandmother 👵🏽 was included in this one 😂
In summary, its better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission
...he should of just been honest with Fin when he got busted... Told him these guys will kill me if anyone finds out they just don't understand...
Remember when Carm slapped Tony and he was all 'what the fucks the matter with you?" and basically shrugged her off?
That would have happened to Noah, then Noah would've been transferred to that 'George Washington slept here' house...
If Noah punched tony it probably wouldn’t have even fazed him and tony would have beat the ever loving shit outta him with his bear hands
Quite correct
Hahaha, "bare" hands is what you probably meant, but "bear hands" works too. :)
🙄
"bear hands" is actually quite appropriate 😅🤣
Sounds like u fantasize about Tony 😂

He was never gonna hit tony, he was just trying to save face in front of his girlfriend.
I don't remember Mike Epps on The Sopranos
Noah would’ve killed tony with the one hit
tony probably would have laughed if he got punched
Noah pumped and dumped Tony's daughter
Oh man what happened to Morgan Freeman?
I would have had Noah punch tony he slips and falls over his robe and dies on the spot
He either would’ve got his ass beat or been killed and meadow turns on tony
What if Noah punched tony video!!!!!!
I don’t think Noah had the balls to hit tony at all. He was saying that to sound big and tough to meadow.
Your so wrong about meadow! She’s the smartest and most gangster and loyal person on the show! She’s street smart book smart and knows how to keep her mouth shut! Just not a good driver!
What a terrible first. Very realistic
First view like and comment I'm simply the fastest man alive
Surprise- Noah is a female to male transexual
Real certified hater alert lmao
Lol 4 realz
😂😂
Just like AOC.
Noah was in meadows walls and it burns you LOL
Imagine how good the Sopranos film could have been.
Even the actor is too young to suffer through the diverse pain Tony would have enriched him with... so there could be no fight scene, since even an act would destroyed him.
Is this English?
@Dewi Lew I can understand it just fine. "Destroyed" should be "destroy", but apart from that it's perfectly readable.
Noah later died of Alzheimers.
