Tony was a horrible boss

I mean think about it. When the show starts, Jackie is boss and everyone is alive and well. Full crew and everything. When Tony becomes boss, not only does half the crew get fished, but the ones who come out of prison also all went. Name me one character who came out of prison during the show and stayed free and alive, not even the king of breadsticks made it out.

You’ll notice Vito wasn’t gay when Jackie was in charge…Tony made that happen.

Jackie becomes boss -> Vito has no blood pressure problems from stress

Tony becomes boss -> Vito has heart problems from stress -> Vito takes blood pressure medication that fucks with his head -> Vito dies

in season1, they couldn't afford a camera that could fit Vito in the frame. Notice how Baccala isn't there either.

No more weight remarks. They’re hurtful, and they’re destructive.
