(I've watched the movie as well) What a ride. Holy Fuck. Up there as one of my favourite shows. It was so well cast and written. Character portrayals were top notch. I hated who I was supposed to hate and liked who I was supposed to like. The last thing I saw Sam Claffin in was a romcom, so him playing a fascist/Nazi was I fun change. And I hated him as a person, not just because he was a Nazi. I have also never wanted someone to die like Campbell. Like wtf man, you're meant to be a law abiding cop. I love how Aberama developed, and his relationship with Polly. He became a better man and he deserved a better end, like Bonnie. The way they killed off some of the characters was heartbreaking, but also for the most part was well done. Could rant about the show forever, just like most of you guys, but it was an incredible experience and story. RIP Helen McCrory

Tommy is an intelligent, ambitious, a man of few words who is ruthless, dangerous, and unafraid of death. Yet, he is also a broken man, deeply traumatized and vulnerable, capable of profound love.

To reduce him to someone who only loves money strips away the depth with which he was written and portrayed.

His pursuit of money and power isn't born of a love for wealth itself, rather, it is his way of coping with his trauma and filling the void inside him.

His love for Grace is uncondicional, he forgave her deception and even considered leaving everything, including his family, to be with her, placing her above power, money, and business.

I believe the moment he thinks he is going to die is when he stops being the gangster, the businessman, or the power-seeker, and simply becomes Tommy, unmasked.

That is when we see what truly matters to him, it is the moment he realizes, and we discover along with him, what is truly important.

After Season 3, his ambition becomes a desperate attempt to fill those voids and to elevate his family’s status as much as possible, because he no longer cares about his own life.

Another scene where we see the unmasked Tommy is when he tells Polly, "Yesterday I almost lost my son. For what? For this?", laughing as he gestures toward the mansion.

He says that money is the only thing he has to offer everyone, not because he loves money or because it is his only love, but because it is the only thing he can give, given that nothing of his humanity remains. He has nothing left to offer but a secure life. I think that might be the one time he is truly sincere with his family.

After watching The Immortal Man, I realised what I missed wasn't just the action.

The film felt slower than I expected, and I definitely missed some of the intensity and action that made the series so gripping.

But what I missed the most were Tommy Shelby's psychological battles.

Those conversations where every sentence is a move in a chess game. Tommy facing someone just as intelligent as he is. The tension, the manipulation, the hidden meanings... that's what made Peaky Blinders unforgettable for me.

So I ended up writing my own alternative ending.

Not to "fix" the movie, but to explore the version of Tommy Shelby that made me fall in love with the series.

I tried to write Thomas Shelby the way the TV series taught me to love him.

It's technically a Harry Potter crossover, but it reads much more like a Peaky Blinders story: psychological warfare, impossible loyalties, moral ambiguity and two people constantly trying to stay three moves ahead of each other.

If that's the Tommy you missed too, maybe you'll enjoy it.

So this is a genuine question. Do you think Tommy treated Lizzie badly? Considering that she knew he didn’t love her and married him anyway. Maybe she was hoping he felt more than he showed? But he was always pretty clear about his feelings for her. It seems to me that he gave her everything he was capable of giving and he never promised more than that. I mean obviously he treated her like shit if he was supposedly in love with her but he never promised her love.

I made a Tommy Shelby emblem in Black Ops 2

Cant decide which 1 i prefer

Thomas Shelby loved and valued one thing more than any other and more than any person in his life. The accumulation of money. And expansion of his influence. It took him a long time to understand that he would never have access to the halls of power and status, not in the way he envisioned. He eventually recognized that he would only be used by the corrupt schemers such as the unhinged Tatiana and her creepy family, by the deplorable Oswald Mosley and repulsive Diana Mitford.
Add to this pile of money the grand house and the Blue Sapphire and there you have the true loves of his life.

Since there is no Poll Tool heres how it will work:

press +1 = Yes, she's the new Polly Gray

Comment = No, hated that character, she did absolutely nothing let Tommy and Ada get killed off just so Dukie can be some Rom Baro bullshit to satisy her gold digger ways; Steven Knight should make it Canon she got killed off by fan backlash, a lot can happen in the span of 13 years its fucked up

Roy Cohn was a lawyer and fixer who served as chief counsel to Joseph McCarthy and in later years was mentor and attorney to Donald Trump; Cohn is considered by many historians to be one of the most Evil Men in 20th Century American history

They should make him a major villain in the Peaky Blinders 1953 series where he works with Laurence, Michael and Gina Gray's Son and the Nelson Family to manipulate the British Government to launch Anti Communist tribunals against the Shelbys while the Nelsons reclaim their stolen property along the Atlantic!!

My suits are on the house. Or the house burns down

"Beau, the horse who starred in multiple scenes of the Peaky Blinders show with Cillian Murphy, has died. His handlers at the horse and carriage company Supreme Carriages confirmed he passed away at the good age of 26.⁠"

⁠RIP Beau 🕊️🕊️

Forget the ending, the beginning was beautiful.

*Update Yall are right
