What do Americans think of Tony Soprano? Is he looked on as a Hero? Or as a Villain?

Question

Hj, There Tony!
Deeeepest respects!! Tony,
From the UK.
If I may offer you some advice: Don't buy your analyst so many presents
Don't New York Analysts make more money
than Mafia Dons?
No wonder you're always broke!
No offence meant, Tony Baby.
We all love you in the UK.

What's the general opinion of the programme over there?
Kindest regards to you all.

Hi,there, and ,as I said before,
Deeepest and most admiring Respects
Now, (Tony,babes!)
Hope you don't mind the excessive familiarity.
But we always address our Prime Minister this way.
Now TS ,I think what we may have is as little linguistic problem.
As they say:
"A failure to communicate!"
Like; "You say tomaytto, and I say tomahto".
A good example is this Great Guy on answers,who has Z in his name.
Now, In England ,we say "Zed".
But in the Good ol' US of A you say "Zee"
So maybe we could broker a Deal.
"Make each other an offer that we can't refuse".
No disrespect Tones baby but there'sa little puppy dog outside and Momma will be upsetif I don't rush out and pat it on the head.
Also gotta find out how you spell "Ciao"
Back soon !
So you can see you

Hi there everyone,
Hope you will excuse me if I come back later because I am busy putting the World to Rights at the moment
and have just pressed the wrong button and lost everything.
If you want to see a fine example of English Irony have a look at some of my other Q&A
Hey Tones Baby!
Think we can do a deal on the insurace because,as you may know,only Criminals are allowed to carry guns and Momma is getting a bit worried.
Hey Tony babes!
If I show you mine will you show me yours ?No! No!
Analysts!
I can't send you a photo.
But if you want to see who she resembles then type URSULA PLASSNIK into search(she's 6 foot 3 inches tall)
She taught me a lot about myself
But,as big Hymie said to me:

Oedipus-Schmoedipus
What does it matter as long as a boy loves his Mother?
If you're gonna come across come during the Monsoon Season.
We call it "Wimbledon Fortnight"
Anyofyourconnections involved in the $18,000,000,000 computer that Blair bought from US?Expect it to work?Bum!

Answer 1

he needs to pose naked

Answer 2

He is a television verion of Ghotti.

He is looked on as a modern day Billy The Kid.

He robs from the rich and gives to himself and to his family.

About the analyst , he gives her the gifts because he wants to get her in bed and because if he can't get her in bed he would prefer not to have to kill her, so he tries to keep her happy.

And what is the Mafia? And who is Don? You must have tony confused with somebody else. He is a respectable club honor and family man. You have been reading too many stories.

And if you love Tony so much then perhaps he can interest you in a little protection. You never know when you may need it.

Answer 3

The show is popular, and as far as what goes on with the Mafia over here, unfortunately, too much of what they show is all too true, all you have to do is to read the newspapers to know that the mafia is not a figment of anyone's imagination.
As far as Tony Soprano goes, totally a villain. In ways can he be seen as a hero of any kind. don't think he is meant to be seen that way.
