Ziggy's got that one scene where he and Nick are trying to figure out why the Greeks want those chemicals, and Ziggy knows how to use the computer and search for stuff while Nick's totally clueless. Ziggy's kinda like D'Angelo, where he's in a life that's a bad fit for him. But D'Angelo was pushed into it, and Ziggy chose to be a stevedore instead of going to community college like his brother (Frank says that to him in another scene). So it's hard to feel as bad for Ziggy, but I like the parallel between him and D'Angelo. Both of them could have been a lot better off if they weren't doing what they did to earn money.
It occured to me that even if guys like Frog, Cheese, Gleekas etc etc treated him right, it still wouldn't be enough for him at some point. Nick got him money and everything but he still managed to fuck it up. He was doomed to be in prison or dead because the guy just can't help himself from making stupid decisions.
He didn't respect himself, as he currently was, so even if he did get treated right, he would still try to compensate. However if he got treated right it would make a big difference. Actually it would've gone the other way if he was respected he would have been a killer with lots of bodies (innocents or otherwise) and still insecure, instead of non violent and insecure (until he finally snapped that is) But since he was weak he'd never get treated right
2:09 The pawnbroker gives a low-ball offer, and Zig says "Fair enough" without being outwardly offended, although there's a creaking noise which represents his frustration. Foreshadowing of when Zig finally gets tired of being low-balled and lashes out later. Would he have chosen to buy the gun if he had been offered a fair price in this scene? What did the pawnbroker set into motion?
If Ziggy had come up with a stable family in a better economic setting, he would have aced school and became something impressive. That or he would have been resourceful enough to build a proper business.
I don't know about that. He's kind of a fuckin dumbass. But I agree that he would've been a whole lot better off regardless of whatever he ended up doing. Someone like Ziggy has no business being at the grown-ups' table, especially with people as dangerous as The Greeks.
Every scene with Ziggy just raises my blood pressure.
if stupid ppl make u mad then they win
@@dixinbuttz44 your statement is correct , but it still upsets
@@danielcantiego9374it's not real
EXTREMELY ACCURATE! And sadly, we've all been in the presence of a Ziggy before, ...Starbucks be damned!🤣
@@dixinbuttz44you must win a lot
Imagine a crew with Ziggy Sobotka, Jackie Aprile and AJ Soprano. They would be the kings of the east coast.
