Now that the dust has settled, was it a kino ending or was it pretentious?
It insists upon itself
>>215062705Both.
>>215062705Pretentious as shit. Chase is a hack who hated his audience because he thinks television as a medium is below movies and has some weird complex about the Sopranos becoming successful. The show was completely carried by the writers and actor performances. Most of his ideas were retarded and were seen in season 1 which is easily the weakest season. We know how much of a hack he is from that abortion known as the Many Saints of Newark too.
>>215062705Kino.>>215062780>>215062881>>215062922You're wrong.
>>215062705It's shit. Literally "Imagine your own ending then praise David Chase as a genius for writing for whatever you headcanonned up"
>>215062705unsatisfying

>The onions, I can't...What did the onion rings taste like
>>215063120SCOOP OUT THAT BIALY
>>215062705The writer and Director have the function of telling the story properly to an audience.When they do weird interpretive shit that leaves something unexplained and passed off as open to audience interpretation, then the writer and director failed to do their part and tell the story to the audience. The audience should not have to make up their own conclusions, that is thew writer's job.
The alternative would be the final scene in Boardwalk Empire.
>>215063120gee I wonder what killed him
>>215062977It is so obvious that Tony got shot dead by the guy who went into the bathroom though, anything else is pure cope or outright retardation. The cut to black mid-scene mid-song is so obviously indicative of Tony's death that I can't believe there are even "theories" about the ending.
>>215062705It felt kinda pretentious but also brilliant at the same time, so both
>>215063351I refer you to>>215062780
>>215063120Onion rings aren’t even that good
>>215063304One would think but then again, there are NPCs like this >>215063164
>>215062705Only retards still care about this
>>215063120Waiter can I please get more PRAAAAAAWNS
>>215063304Yeah I'm a hired killer lemme just sit here and drink coffee at the scene where I'm gonna murder a guy and get made by every-fucking-body in the packed public restaurant oh wait I need to take a shit so wait until his entire family are there so I can be even more easily identified and sent to prison for life instead of capping his ass in the car park or waiting for a better opportunity like someone with a fucking functional brain. Or maybe it was just a red herring and the guy was a fucking nobody.
>>215063379lynch is a hack thoughbeit. took mark frost to clean up his mess and write a coherent mystery
>>215063196>The alternative would be the final scene in Boardwalk Empire.Ya that was bad. >gee I wonder who this mysterious new and suspiciously aged and familiar character could possibly be? The Lindbergh Baby? What the tut
>>215063120Grim reaper standing right behind him like "da rent! da rent! da rent is due!"
>>215063414>doesn’t into payback for whacking phil in front of his family>red herringYou must not have watched Tony in S1 chase and run over somebody in broad daylight without repercussions
I think it works well. Whether or not that guy was there to kill Tony, he's gonna spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder knowing he pissed off every high ranking member of the Lupertazzi family and they effortlessly killed his top lieutenants in retaliation. Even if he isnt capped, he's on borrowed time because Carlo turned state's evidence on him. All he has left is increasingly little time with his awful wife and son, and the daughter that he likes but who is going to be spending less and less time around him regardless of whether hes killed or imprisoned for life. Thats it, that's the end, hes eating shitty onion rings with people he hates until the hammer falls
>>215063164 Why should "properly" and "interpretive" be at odds? If stories were only valued insofar as they're not open to interpretation, every book would read like a technical manual.
