Who was your favorite of Tony's adversaries?

Livia? Richie? Gloria's roast beef? Ralph? The Shah of Iran? Gravity?

I gotta go with Ralph. He was such a unique character for me. What's great about this show is that he was only around throughout seasons 3 and 4, which are in the middle or lower tier for me. I think I like him so much because he goes against so many mob stereotypes.

"I hate to do it, Artie... but I think I'm gonna pass. Sorry. Because if you don't pay me back, I ain't gonna be able to hurt you."

"Tomorrow I can be on time, but you’ll be stupid forever."

"Why was I born handsome instead of rich?"

Livia was the villain of this thing of ours. If she hadn’t been such a miserabe, Tony might’ve ended up selling patio furniture. Or at least he could have been a better boss. Instead he is just like her. He pits each member of the crew against the others and manipulates the fuck out of everyone.

Its between Ralphie and Richie for me. I lean more Ralph though because he was more likeable.

Honorable mention to The Shah of Iran

Its kinda funny you call Tony's enemies the "villian" as Tony is as evil as anyone, but I know what you mean of course.

For me it's Old Manson Lamps. That hand pushed his chair over far too early... what he did to Beansie alone ☝️
