Young men are drawn to seemingly despicable immoral figures like Homelander, Patrick Bateman, Tony Soprano and so on because of the following combination:

Theyre hated + They're successful

Soyciety puts pressure on men, puts men down in order to control them and make them feel less worthy in order for the elites to keep the ever-increase of exploitation and racking up profits

this creates a top-down effect funelled by men natural distrust and intra-sexual competition (compared to which women are much more collectivistic and cooperative between themselves) and therefore creates an endemy of men being socially shunned, chastized, ostracized and so on

we as collectivistic animals depend on being socially accepted in order to be succesful and thrive. meanwhile figures like Homelander and Tony Soprano are hated and still are successful because of their individual qualitities hence why men are inspired by them.

I like characters like Liam from the entire history of you because he’s just a guy who got cucked by the better man. Very realistic story

Because they seems to receive more gratification, aré more masculine, aré extremely confident, more dominant, and because they aré different, unique and these characteristics that make them special works on their fictional worlds
 
Because these are characters that achieve success inspite of societal expectations and moral limitations.
Thats why I get Extreme Schadenfreude when a woke normie fails in life

That's the great thing about the show.
You know Tony's a hypocritical bastard from the outset of it but you're still routing for him every step of the way.
At least I was!

because the show evolved within its machiavelian logic. tony did what was the best course of action within the show to achieve and protect his success. it was evil but 'necessary evil'

the moment he used violence acting on emotion and not strategy he died (when he attacked a made-man in his home turf for assaulting his electra-complex platonic lover daughter)

True. Gandolfini also brings an incredible charisma to the role.
Tony's character would have fallen short without him, no doubt about that.
