Who do you think had him whacked at the end of the show? I personally think it was Paulie.
He was whacked? I just remember it fades to black.
>>532342138They confirmed that forever ago. I'm surprised there's people who still don't know that.
the gabba ghoul gets him
>>532342045What does /pol/ think about The Sopranos?I'm only midway into season 2. >>532342433This. Fucking nitrates, man.
It was most likely New York who got permission from the top guys left in Jersey (Paulie and Patsy) to go through with it. Revenge for Phil, Coco, and others, plus the fact that Tony is so unstable and difficult to work with. With Tony taken out, someone with brains that's also easy to work with can take over and benefit everyone in NY and NJ (probably Patsy since he was actually intelligent and Paulie was unwilling to lead).
>>532342410It doesn't matter what they said. What matters is what the show shows and no execution is shown at all.
>>532342138The guy in the Members Only jacket shot him.
>>532342727Tony didn't see it coming.
>>532342784We know but the question was on whose orders
>>532342045It was Noah punching his lights out.
>>532342822The Phantom Thieves did it?
>>532342045>I personally think it was Paulie.Paulie sold him out to New York, in the last scene with Tony and Paulie it's clear that Paulie is fed up. "live to serve you my liege">>532342727They only had to say it at all because people like you can't read between the lines.
>>532342045The point of the ending is that we don't know if anything happened to Tony, and we can't know. He's about to get RICO'd, most of his crew is dead, his family is moving forward without him, and he's going to be a high priority target within the mon, and for the feds for the rest of his life. We as the viewer are finally experiencing the level of anxiety and paranoia that Tony has let ruin him for the run of the series, and just like him, we don't get to know what happens next. Paulie wouldn't have whacked him, though. Would have been someone from New York, or Carlo.
>>532342045You never see the one that gets you.It was us - the audience - who was whacked.
>>532342045Realistically, as in applying real world logic to the show, the only correct answer is Hersh. Because of ethnico-religious factors he's the most likely to do a backstabbing.
it was us aka the viewerwe got whacked
>>532342045Oh. It's a mystery? Gabba-goo! Didn't watch that shit. Piss off, suburbanite.
>>532342045We can speculate all day long but at the end of the day we will never know . Unless that Cunt writer divulges
>>532342045Paulie got in touch with Butchie after Miami and organized a double takedown for Tony and Phil. Patsy knew about it when he went to Tony's house.
>>532342045I thought he died of a heart attack
>>532342138They had a conversation earlier in the show, it was a callback to that. It went something like "Paulie what do you think it's like being whacked? Do you think you're just there and then BAM, you fade to black" and then they did that for the end of the show because Tony got whacked.
>>532342995At first they said that the spectator got whacked, a metaphorical ending. Then they said that they wanted the end to remain open.

By the end of the show he had so many enemies it was inevitable that somebody would get him. I think that was the whole point. It could have been anybody, everybody.
>>532343090True The post of the ending is that it doesn't matter what happened- whether Tony got whacked, gets RICOd, has a heart attack, has a nice family dinner, whatever. Tony's life is functionally over and he is now living in a hell of his own creation for the rest of his time on Earth. He knows what's behind the curtain and chooses to keep leading the life he does, he knows that whatever happens to him functionally doesn't matter. He lives in a state of such abject paranoia he might as well be dead at that moment, because any other escape from his life has been completely closed off.
Butchie. He gave the green light on phil to clear the way for his takeover then ordered the hit on Tony to decapitate the family like he had talked about wanting to do before.
>tony was le whackedThat's the low IQ take. The song Don't Stop Believing was chosen on purpose so you know life goes on.
