see, it works on a ton of levels, both as a road trip show, and as a character study

It would be darkly hilarious if Orco were still perfectly alive, but Fango could simply prank his underlings with his delicious dishes.

That was some gorgeous direction and tension.

aaand like that, avilio's tiny sense of sympathy towards nero, evaporated

on some level, it's nero's petty piece of vengeance towards angelo for his enthusiastic role in facilitating the death of frate.
the events of the civil war affected nero more than he likes to come off. nero wears the glove of power well, but he wears it uneasy

That was a brilliant piece of writing and composition right at the end. Angelo did not even give Vincent the peace of death, but the horror of watching his world fall apart before his eyes.

And neither does Angelo. What does Strega have in store for him? Strega has no means or incentive to keep him alive. And there's not much to say about his characterization, he's a walking cliche, you know precisely what he wants at all times.

This certainly was a denouement. Freed from the flattening responsibilities of Don, Nero is his old self again. Nero and Angelo have been scoured clean, bereft of anything, there was no point killing further.

Though it's kinda vague, because for some reason the animators didn't draw a set of footprints moving away from the shore, and the waves were nowhere near strong enough to drag a body out to sea. Deliberate surrealism, ghost interpretation, or animator error? This will be impossible to decide.

I know people complain about slow lingering shots but I loving love them for their sense of tension
