Tulsa King | Chickie kills his father, Pete

[jeromemorgan]

That is 100% true. It is the betrayal of close friends and family that you never see coming, unless you have that third eye open. Lol

[tjjordan]

By the end of the day, regardless of what his father made him do, he still chose this life. Even Dwight acknowledges that about himself. That’s the difference between the two of them. One blames others, the other takes responsibility.

I guess Dwight really is a better class of guy

Always from inside the family, always!

[MayTheOddsBeInYourFavor]

The saddest thing about betrayal is it never comes from your enemies…it comes from friends. Your family.

[tomxaider]

Pete has it coming for him since he betrayed Dwight first by ordering his death in prison out of paranoia that Dwight gonna break the code of Omerta

trivia: Stata Zit is italian for "shut up".

Your killers all come with smiles.They come as your friends. and they all seem to come at a time when you're at your lowest and most in need of their help

[josephpack]

You never take sides against the family

This is like if Tony Soprano actually went through with killing his mother…

i really thought i'd find an analysis of the scene from other people like gen z does nowadays inside and the closest thing i've found is that comment about how chickie is blaming others, but If you were finding something similar this is an attempt at that.

I really thought Pete was going to apologize or at least be gentle. I don't know why, because ever since the beginning of the series, in every scene they are together, Pete has been condescending, rude and practically has humilliated chickie in front of the mafia multiple times, not including this one. He voices a thought, it isn't a complaint, it isn't in a certain tone, it's just a what if, a last attempt into what could have been a proper conversation.

Chickie probably did begin to show this type of behaviour and see it as normal probably from a very early age. Like, your dad just told you you can steal and nothing will happen. Like gen alpha nowadays who are desensitized to everything and don't fear their parents, and people at that stage of their lives have no moral compass or conscience or anything to define for them what's right or wrong, except parents and teachers, for the most part.


Now, we see the scene of the priest, this man who, like dwight, has regrets. He talks about the apple, and the temptation, but it's like kids with drugs, you can't really blame them for being exposed to that as a parent. or as a viewer really, It's the job of a parent to protect their kids from these sort of things, and judging by how pete treats chickie, he has been wanting him to be the mafia boss for quite some time, possibly even arond the time when he was still a child.

Now chickie isn't a good man, for obvious reasons. I'm not defending him. And he is blaming his father for introducing him to this type of life, but has every right to do so. I didn't really see any other way for this to go out. Pete practically said, "son, it's family business, you gotta take care of it" without stopping to think if he ever wanted that, It seems that chickie had dreams and want, s but ultimately gave them all up to get a speck of recognition from pete, who just kept at it with his horrible treatment towards him.

Pete may have introduced him to the mafia because maybe he thought that was what was best for him, but like, do you really want your child to see the things that you've seen? to be someone dangerous? to see them get exposed to danger? that was an insane lack of judgement from pete and it's a very Irresponsable Dad Move TM.

This is a grown man who is still viewed as a child, by a man who destroyed his life. He is not a psycopath, you can see in it's face that he's in pain and he doesn't want to do it, but what else can he do? I personally think Chickie is in crisis and having no sense of control in his life, so killing pete is what he thinks is going to help him regain it. So that's my take. I don't know if dwight would have done the same if he was in the same situation, but they're both different people and it's unfair to compare them. I wanted to post this because all the comments seemed really similar, betrayal and all that. Is it really bad to "betray" someone who had absolutely no respect towards you? You owe nothing to your family but the things they've given you.
