I actually took some notes so writing based on those xd
Tbh, I rly like Angelo's design. He's pretty sexy, even with his crazy smiles! Not that we see those often, as he is master of poker face, able to stay calm in front of person who murdered his family- and even being able to stay calm while having gun barrel next to his face. Though this also makes me kinda think that he has death wish, that he doesn't rly care what happens with him as long as he gets his revenge- that this is the purpose he is living for.
The child hiding in drawer while their parents get murdered is pretty common trope. In general just child witnessing their parents murder, I guess Batman is most known example of that and how it drives persons revenge. Taking that accord and the revenge story in overall, so far I don't think the story is completely unique and it's somewhat predictable. But it's enjoyable ride.
To that predictableness- there was actually two things that did suprise me. It was Clemente dying so soon, he seemed pretty important character and one we would see around lot longer. But nope, Angelo is efficient! When he sees a chance he will take it. Another is Nero's family turning on him.. or rather being ready to abandon him so quickly and over sth like this. How much power this other family rly has??
I think we have seen some scenes that humanize Nero, and I guess rest of the Vanetti family as well. And not only to viewers, but to Angelo as well. Different thing is how he is taking that though, so far his poker face has been flawless. But seeing Nero grieve over loss of friend, well even plp who murdered ur family are still plp. Seeing how Nero and Angelo are going to hang around now, I wonder if Angelo will befriend Nero and start to have conflicting feelings towards killing him- or will everything be an act to forward the perfect revenge. Maybe even killling Clemente was calculated, to make Nero feel the loss of a person close to him.
So things I'm looking forward in the next eps:
- Who sent Angelo the list of people who killed his dad? Are they truly allies of his? What is their agenda? Doesnt' seem like Orca family did it, they are too dumb.
- How is Angelo's and Nero's relationship going to evolve, will there be conflict or not.
