Compared to Tony or even Ralph he was a super soft character

@nort Like I’m at the point now in the mixing stage where I struggle to distinguish what exactly could be changed from a mixing POV and I will struggle to communicate some of that to my engineer

For example, you say that the first half of track 2 struggles with sounding to “muddy”. Ok fair enough. But I don’t really know how to explicitly fix that.

Right I mean I get it, it just wasn’t interesting

The Mafia is primarily about making money

Vito was the best at that

And he had a close relationship with new York like I said

He would have been a pretty good choice for taking Tony's spot even if he didn't initially make for good television

Well he wasn't very interesting until it introduced the concept of how the Mafia reacted to finding out one of their top earners was gay

Which was kinda interesting and the first time the show explored that

I would feel differently if they abandoned the rest of the show and focused strictly on Vito going and being gay

But it directly involved the core plot and was impactful towards how the show went and there was still other stuff going on

@KodakSpice Covid spice. Korok spice. Give these a consideration

Those first 6 episodes devoted a lot of time to it where I’d have preferred to focus on one of the more interesting characters

Again, I think back then, when homophobia was rampant in the mainstream, it was a powerful way to address it, but now that it no longer is it doesn’t hold up to me

I personally, in modern times, am still not involved in the Mafia and can't say for certain how they would react to gay people in 2025

So it was still pretty interesting to me

I mean I think many people watching the show back then would be as homophobic as the mafia and the point was to show those people how tragic homophobia could be. Whereas now, most people watching it are on Vito’s side

It has less to do with the mafia and more to do with the viewer

I'm not so sure that the mainstream opinion on gay people was that they should be brutally beaten to death in 2006

But I was also 7 so I could be wrong

bruh

Same s***marriage was only legalized in 2015. The 2000s were super homophobic

As crazy as it sounds, same s***sex was only legalized in the 2000s

I didn't really take what the show was going with it as a like woke message to show the evils of homophobia anyway

I think it was just topical and an interesting idea they hadn't explored yet

So like the idea of homophobia being less of a mainstream view didn't really impact the way I view the story

I mean yeah because you’re watching it now but I think if the show was written today, that plot line would either not exist or he would be a trans person or something
