I partly agree. But in another way, The offscreen death explained by a quick remark is more realistic. Rothstein was always in control, always had the fix in. But eventually he ended up murdered over a gambling debt.
Nucky's expression at Luciano's anger is hilarious. He implies that Luciano is a child, so Luciano acts like one. Lucky has one of the best character arcs on the show, in my openion.
Nucky's problem wasn't that he underestimated Lucky, it was that Nucky never stopped to reassess Luciano, he always saw him as the hothead he was when they first met.
Luciano took a lot of lessons from Rothestien and was councilled with lansky but was also done the same from torrio before he took and claimed it all. A lot of value and grit made Luciano. What happened with nucky was the change of an era
Love how nucky didn’t flinch when Luciano squared up with him, plus it’s even funny that rothstein won pretty big here to screw nucky over but years later at poker nucky would beat rothstein in a game
A B yeah the mob or criminal life does that, even in movies it shows that if you don’t kill someone before they get to strong they’ll eventually try again to kill you. Look at The Godfather 2 lol yeah don ciccio wanted to kill a kid which is pretty awful but decades later Vito grew up, became strong and STILL went back to Sicily to kill the old man

Calm the fuck down and take a seat”. And sure enough, he composes himself and sits down haha
@James Donnelly Fucking libtards... They don't seem to understand that midgets bred in captivity simply can't cope in the real world. My midgets would fight to the death in a 7 foot deep pit. It was quite the spectacle. Shady figures from the criminal underworld, big city bankers, aristocrats, bus drivers - all would rub shoulders and bet on the hand to hand combat of the midget pit. Bernie, my prize midget, was an expert with a short sword and had 21 victories to his name. Each opponent was beheaded upon defeat and Bernie would take their left ear as a trophy. He had a great ceremonial necklace made from ears. Anyway, I shouldn't really be telling you all this as the first rule of The Underground Midget Fight Club is you don't talk about The Underground Midget Fight Club.
Lucky in this series was nothing less than a small potato hothead. His temper got in the way when anyone slighted him in infractions that infuriated him.
lol, Gotta love how Nucky didn't budge when Lucky got up. It's amazing how well they demonstrated the power of dynamics of then without foreshadowing to death that YES, THIS GUY IS GONNA BE A BOSS. Loved this series!
@Isabel Beckerman Definitely in the earlier seasons, though he's considerably more calm and calculated in season 5. Shame we had to jump so abruptly in his development.
One thing that seems to go under the radar about Nucky is how fearless he is. Especially when confronted with someone as aggrssive as Luciano, he doesnt even so much as flinch. He stands his ground and stares them down. He's a legit boss.
Why do you guys think AR was such a gambling fiend? His personality was so quiet and reserved, yet he gambled like a psychopath and didn't know his limits at all.
Chairman Meow You will be more surprised to hear his story about how he started to losing all the bets in a sudden and winning his last bet on the presidential election but can’t cash out the result because he was shot
@TheRealist 811 That supposedly was what did him in. He lost high stakes poker game (4.7 mil in modern currency) and claimed only way he could've lost was if the game was fixed, which led to him getting targeted for a hit. To him it wasn't "you lose some, you win some" or "It's okay to lose so long as your spirit isn't broken." Granted if testimonies were right, it was true that the game was fixed.
As I seem to recall, an escort plays that song later on the ukulele for Nucky and one of his political equals (the king-maker of New Jersey?) later on in either this season or season 2.
Seeing as it's a song that's notorious for being inherently tranphobic as well as making light of the Khmer Rouge atrocities, I'd hardly say it's beautiful.
i think it's more shock that someone is ballsy enough to step to him and check his disrespect, like if you were at a bar and someone said something disrespectful, but there's that one person who will step to disrespect and check it no matter what: that's what Charlie is here, and I think he's giving Nucky a sort of reality check about the kind of gangster-ism happening in New York, where hoods are everywhere, whereas Nucky is sort of protected and sees or fancies himself as aristocracy in New Jersey... but times are changing, and Charlie Luciano is part of the new wave of gangsters coming up (like Bugsy Siegel) who won't take to getting stepped on by anybody, rules or not
@@bethenawaltz4190 So he's an overly emotional hot head who can't control himself, and throws a tantrum at a minor insult? You read that scene way different than I did.
@@hardpack187 Totally. Luciano had a long way to go, both in reality and the context of the show, before he would be heading up the commission. Contrast his behaviour here with when he's with Capone in the final season and Nelson calls him out. He knows he's in Capone's house and that he has nothing to gain, so just lets it slide. Here, he's in Nucky's town, in Nucky's establishment, surrounded by Nucky's men, but he blows up at the provocation anyway and is made to look like an idiot.
I just love when he slams that guys head into the table after the guy insults him in front of everyone. Really makes you remember that he isn't some average rich dude, he is the fucking BOSS and will not take shit from anyone. I also loved when he was talking to Rothstein later on the phone and he says "You wanna see how I do business? Show your face again in Atlantic City." The man does not fuck around...
Nucky knows he can't look weak in front of his customers especially with Rothstein there. He rarely gets violent but knows he needs to now and then when it's called
The song playing in this scene is called The Japanese Sandman, B-side to Whispering by Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra, the first record to make $1,000,000.
So, one thing I REALLY like to do is to find actors who play other mobster/gangster characters in differen shows. The guy who plays Hans Schroeder here (the upset husband) plays a pretty substantial role in the show "Power" as Tommy. Nucky plays tony b in the sopranos (but everyone knows that) chalky is Omar in the wire. There's others but this comment would end up being way to long!
His grandson is a successful surgeon and also fond of the card games. He often played poker with a Jersey stripclub owner and mr. Sinatra, Junior, Sir.
Pretty stark contrast between Nucky and Luciano in this scene compared to the one where Nucky is on his knees begging for his life in the final season.
@@torontoBluejays87 Not really if nucky's nephew wasn't there they could have just got into a shootout and everyone in the front would have died, Including lucky Mayer,Bugsy,Eli,Etc...
markwest1987 if they didn’t rush the final season for god knows what reason, they could have had a MUCH better storyline as to how everything played out. As phenomenal as this show was, the way sped up the ending was pitiful and disrespectful in my book
from what i've gathered, luciano would have never have reacted that, even as an adolescent. he could invent dirty, withering, challenging insults on the spot, sometimes saving them for later.
I wish people dressed like this today. Yesterday I saw several people wearing pajamas, women with wraps on their hair, pants hanging so low you can see their ass. We need to bring Shame back.
@@halwakka504 Hans Schroeder (the guy handled by Nucky Thompson, Buscemi's character) was bigger, younger and perhaps used to work physically demanding jobs, different from Nucky Thompson whose job was done mostly while seated; hene there's no way Nucky could have just beaten the hell out of a physically fitter man.
@@mauricio460 No way? Physical size and age doesn't mean everything. Dude was drunk, he was wobbling on his feet. If he was sober it likely would've ended differently (ie dude fighting back and having the same thing done to him only by Nucky's guards) but nothing's certain in a fight.
"This Rothstein's a cheater. Honestly, if he wasn't who he is, they'd found him in a fucking alley." Nice foreshadowing on what happened to Arnold in the end.
According to his bio arnold had a keen sense of weak players and weak houses. So it's kind of on nucky for having a weak house against a skilled gambler.
@@alexmuenster2102 it's not cheating if you find an advantage over the house like card counting or what have you but they don't want your action is what it is. Not cheating per say.
Has anyone ever actually slammed someones head on a table against their will? I loved this show but this cracks me up. Nucky shooting a guy in the face okay. But the WWF move on a bigger man was pretty silly. Got to love TV.
how you expect me to suspend disbelief with that beatdown? What is he, the hulk? guy pushes his head and he doesn't even hold the table to counterbalance?

God will not be mocked!

Indeed.

Agreed... Rothstein's diamond-tip bowties are particularly sharp.
@@CharlieSheensTigerBlood some types of fools wear chains and pants so low they can't run properly while some still dress very, very well.
I can’t believe they had the nerve to end this show without showing Rothstein getting killed. He was a great character and he just disappeared
At least they could start off with a flashback showcasing Arnold’s death and then carry on with the rest of that rushed season. At least...
They dropped this show hard for game of chumps. Find some solace in the fact that piece of crap show flamed hard
