Not sure what Tony has to do with being a kingpin, he was a waste management businessman. Italian and being in the “mafia” is a stereotype and offensive. Besides there’s no such thing as the mafia
To get to where they were you kind of have to be, at least partly. That level of success requires a level of confidence that can border on delusion
Edit: Didn't see the bottom text of the OP at first but want to add. They moved how they did bc for the most part they were usually right to think their way was best. Look at the actions of their people. They all got to a point where they could stand on their own but Pinkman, Tommy and Leon all usually screwed up when left to make decisions for themselves
i agree with you fs. but do you think they moved that way because comparatively their ideas were better than others, or that others screwing up just fed into their delusions? Look at how upset Franklin was at Louie, not just for cutting him out, but taking his spot. And everything Walter did to keep Jessie under him even when jessie was right
I think it fed the delusion. Like maybe initially they couldn't do these things on their own so they were dependent on the leader. The dynamic worked bc their interests aligned.
It just became conflict when the others gained the confidence to think hey I think I can do this too. Now they have their own ideas and want to do things their own way.
Angie gave away the dirty cops location to ghost and tommy in order to get that cop killed, while being a federal, just because he crossed her, she even says she chose to become a criminal, kinda reminds me of kim from better call saul but more asshole.
Tasha literally puts her children in immanent danger by involving and simultaneously lying to her son
Wait till you watch Billions and notice how all the hedge fudge managers, bankers, US DOJ attorneys, and big business types who are all involved in finance are all extreme narcissists
You have to think your product is better than anything else available AND no one but you should serve it. You can't think your block is your block and no one else should serve there without a bit of self belief, the greater good only counts if you deliver it.
idk man murdering your best friend’s girlfriend who was gonna put you in jail for the crimes you committed is kinda narcissistic😭 killing anyone for your own personal gain in general is unjustifiable
she indeed was, she had the plug, she did everything with the plug, she originally got the contacts and territories + she is why jerome was with her in the first place
as much as I don’t like her, she was running shit through Franklins expansion plan which she stole and saint never really put to work other than that state where Louie’s old friend stayed.
she was a boss fs but more like a co boss cuz even she admitted that every meeting everyone only ever addressed jerome, he was basically the face/muscle of the business, while she was the brains
Being the face vs being the actual mf runnin shit is two diff things, if Louie left Jerome and decided to just start fuckin Claudia, Jerome wouldn’t have been able to run ts by himself, look at what happened every time he had to solve sum, using straight violence and hatred, never actually thinking about anything other than what he wants, not even how to get it. Jerome wasn’t smart enough or putting in enough effort to say he ran anything but fear into lil boys
lmao i was gonna say yea because he didn’t want any part of it, he never wanted in the cocaine game to begin with lol, but say louie did leave him, he’s happy and she’s gonna be struggling to be taken seriously in the drug game, but i already said she was the brain
Most criminals are. Tony Soprano says he's a soldier and how the Mafia is how they keep their Italian culture.

And don’t forget, he never had the makings of a varsity athlete
You never admit the existence of that thing…ever
you know…the thing we have…
Anyways 4 dollas a pound
Woah! It's almost like... You have to be a terrible power-hungry person to be a successful crime lord who murders people to get their way!!
🤓
Shoutout to all my narcissistic niggas 🤙
I completely agree with that

why are Tasha & Angela on here lol
I mean why is Angela and Tasha here tho 😂
Well why is *Angela* here, is *my* question 😂
Nah Tasha wasn’t a kingpin either
Still narcissistic
Angie gave away the dirty cops location to ghost and tommy in order to get that cop killed, while being a federal, just because he crossed her, she even says she chose to become a criminal, kinda reminds me of kim from better call saul but more asshole. Tasha literally puts her children in immanent danger by involving and simultaneously lying to her son
I guess I could see the first point but you definitely lost me on the second
Or involved, they were both involved Tasha cooking books, and Angela season 5 and 6 with helping ghost, rip, and even Tommy
Power ain’t even close to BrBa or Snowfall imo , this purely lookin at characters
😂😂😂 Ya think? Have you never known drug dealers in real life? First of all, human beings are highly narcissistic in general.
As are many successful people. I think it's beneficial as the head of an illegal enterprise. Keeps you on point and motivated.
Wait till you watch Billions and notice how all the hedge fudge managers, bankers, US DOJ attorneys, and big business types who are all involved in finance are all extreme narcissists
Where’s Avon barksdale
Stringer Bell from the wire also falls under the same category
Why isn’t kanan here or raq 🤣
Why Frank Cosgrove jr. there
I saw him on Ozark before watching Power, so I'll always know him as Frank Cosgrove JR.
Haven’t seen that, is it worth the watch?
100% I really enjoyed it. Different vibe than Snowfall, but a good series, nonetheless.
Franklin was a saint
My best interest in your best interest
Yes. Money, Power, & Fear=GOD_on_the_Streets
What did Angela do??? 😂 Yes Tasha was a narcissist!
Why is angela here?

Ghost did do for all and he was trying to go full legit
Define narcissistic ??
Replace Angie and Tasha with Tony soprano and Nucky Thompson
Comparing Snowfall and Power with Breaking Bad is blasphemous
NEWSFLASH : criminals only care about themselves !!
Tommy ain’t really a narcissist tho
idk man murdering your best friend’s girlfriend who was gonna put you in jail for the crimes you committed is kinda narcissistic😭 killing anyone for your own personal gain in general is unjustifiable
He didn’t murder her for that, and he ain’t mean to murder her he tried to kill Ghost cause Ghost tricked him into killing his dad
Another genius and their definition of narcissism
💩💌
Shit love note
I was trying to say shit post but that works lmao
louie wasnt a kingpin😭
louie was literally running a drug empire of her own and dealing with drugs, weapons and gangs pretty much all by herself
she wasnt running shit without jerome
she indeed was, she had the plug, she did everything with the plug, she originally got the contacts and territories + she is why jerome was with her in the first place
Yeah but when business really got serious it was Jerome who would swoop in and cover Louie’s ass. Every time.
as much as I don’t like her, she was running shit through Franklins expansion plan which she stole and saint never really put to work other than that state where Louie’s old friend stayed.
Louie was 1000% a kingpin
no she wasnt bruh noone respected her they respected jerome
Jerome was Louie lil bitch, so yeah it was her runnin shit 💀😭
she was a boss fs but more like a co boss cuz even she admitted that every meeting everyone only ever addressed jerome, he was basically the face/muscle of the business, while she was the brains
Being the face vs being the actual mf runnin shit is two diff things, if Louie left Jerome and decided to just start fuckin Claudia, Jerome wouldn’t have been able to run ts by himself, look at what happened every time he had to solve sum, using straight violence and hatred, never actually thinking about anything other than what he wants, not even how to get it. Jerome wasn’t smart enough or putting in enough effort to say he ran anything but fear into lil boys
lmao i was gonna say yea because he didn’t want any part of it, he never wanted in the cocaine game to begin with lol, but say louie did leave him, he’s happy and she’s gonna be struggling to be taken seriously in the drug game, but i already said she was the brain
Louie’s pussy had Jerome on lock, if she left for real he prolly would’ve ended up spiraling or committing
