He is the greatest fictional character ever written. We will never see a character broken down and dissected like him. Name a fictional character that has more depth and is more dissected and broken down than tony ill fucking wait

What's there to analyze? He's a mobster and he does mobster things. That's pretty all there is to him.

Alright but you gotta get over it
>>
>>220279930
No. We never delve deep into Walt's subconscious or his sexuality. Every facet of Tony's existence is explored. We even get childhood memories. There's a couple Walt flashbacks, but no childhood memories. We don't even get to see his parents.

The only thing good about Sopranos is the humor. It's a rare show that's laugh out loud funny. The characters are all shallow, stupid, and completely uninteresting.

You are midwit incarnate if you find Tony to be an amazing character.

I agree but only in that you won't get that combination of director, writer and actor competency in this permanent age of streaming.

>>220282420
I thought about typing some shit like "genuinely asking", but I know how that sounds too. I am interested in hearing what characters would someone who considers Tony Soprano to be shallow consider to be deep.
I know some people genuinely think like you do, and out of interest I actually WOULD like to know what they think. I'm sure there's some show you can name if you weren't just being hyperbolic.
>>220282492
Interesting, I've only seen Rome out of those and to me that's a much more plot-driven show where the main characters aren't fleshed out as much as in The Sopranos.

Shut the fuck up faggot. The creation and airing of The Sopranos predates Reddit.

Villanelle maybe. The show ended up with a shitty final season and fans complained about her episode in season 3 where she met her mother. Killing Eve had potential

Right, Tony doesn't change much from the beginning to end except becoming more like his mother and his actor getting remarkably fatter
>>
>>220280118
Right? Walts Mom is mentioned like once but that's kind of it. No other family, which is fine but even then the only flashback we really get of him was that one where I assume he was working or building the company Grey Matter or whatever. There was definitely opportunity to make Walt a more interesting character instead of long boring shots of New Mexico desert. Shit, I think we got more insight on the assassin twins then we did with Walt.
>>
>>220285384
Gilligan came from the same school of thought as Shawn Ryan in that he didn't believe on doing detailed backstory dumps.

The only reason the Gray Matter shit got explored was due to him being pissed that fans believed Walt's self serving woe is me story about being kicked out of the company in a coup. So he brought them back twice to hammer home that Zwalt was a liar and an asshole who's ego was unspeakably huge.

>>220284241
zoomers watching one season on their second monitor while scrolling tiktok and going “ummm this is kinda mid???”

yeah bro it probably does suck when you binge it at 1.5x speed between valorant queues. it’s almost like character drama hits different when your brain isn’t fried from slop.

but go off king, tell us more about how a show that carried HBO for a decade suddenly “isn’t good” because you saw a couple reddit takes about how tony is le evil hypocrite. that was the point, you stunad.
>>
>>220279784
Al Swearengen was Tony's spiritual successor
>>
Criminals are boring and dumb. They grab quick money then die. Yawn.

This show has to e propetually jerked off by one Italian fuck in new Jersey. These threads , otherwise, are unexplainable.
>>
Don Draper.

With Tony the writers where really just spitballing as the show went along and it shows. Inconsistensies, many such cases
>>
>>220279784
Rewatched Sopranos and Mad Men back to back, Don Draper is more nuanced. You should give it a watch.
>>220279860
Bojack comes close to Don but they drop the ball with the a bloo bloo you have power over women dumb stuff.
>>
>>220288365
Oh they were definitely spitballing with Don, but what really makes Mad Men the better, for lack of a better term, "character study" is that Mad Men does not bog itself down with the petty squabbles of mob life. That stuff makes for supremely entertaining TV, but it's sort of filler for anyone who's actually interested in Tony Soprano as a character.

Overall both Sopranos and Mad Men come out as cream of the crop television. I haven't seen Breaking Bad but I know normalfags love it, but I can't get over the (unironically) pedestrian discussions I've seen over the decades of
>Was Walt doing it for himself or for his family??
Of course he was doing it for himself. Jesus.
>>
>>220283451
You've unlocked the secret finally. Tony Soprano was not a good guy, so he's a bad character :O
>>
>>220282647
And it's one of Reddit's favorite shows. It's proto-Reddit. Search your feelings, you know this to be true.

He sounds like a retard. Compare season 1 and season 6.
>>
>>220290371
No. My enjoyment of a show does not rely on a bunch of faggots quoting it constantly and gathering in their gay subreddits and discords. In fact, if such places existed for something I liked, I cease liking it. See how that works? It's called not being a faggot, try it sometime.
>>

This
>>
>>220290473
this is actually true and based though. Tony acted like a bigot that would be seen as literally worse than hitler today but only gets a pass cause it was back when being a bigot wasnt world ending. Nowadays villains cannot be redeemed or show sympathy without being a moralfag that kills for some good justified reason or are a minority victim

That is the most faggot shit ever. People can literally ruin anything you like just by liking them how fucking thin skinned are you?

>Starts liking something
That's where you reveal your faggotry and retardation, frog posting loser. If people I hate STARTED liking something I liked, it wouldn't matter. If people I hate always loved it from the beginning because it was made for them, I'd have to be as gay as them to keep liking it. That's what you're doing. You're stepping into this fandom of reddit and discord fags and going "this is fine". Omega cuck right there

Actually yes because the creators start listening to the mongoloid women who can only convey their thoughts through public outcry
