Okay, let's hear your head canon for what happened in the months and years after the final moment.
>>220926711You want me to explain to you what happened in the world after Tony got whacked? The show fuckin ended. What else is there to say?
>>220926737No, I'm not looking for you to explain that. It's intangible. I'm just interested in everyone's theories on what the characters did with their lives in the aftermath.
>>220926711The hit on Phil was revenge for his brother getting killed in Cassino real greaseball shit.
>>220926792>massacres the innocent horseswhat the FUCK was his problem
>>220926836Pony rides ended early
>>220926711It didn't happen. It was bullshit. Some kinda dream sequence or whatever the fuck.
>>220926711Tony committed suicide with the onion rings. They set this up in the scene with phil where they compare their near death experiences and he took his fat fuckin hand in friendship
>>220926923Tonys drip was fire on god
>No please don't do it>I'll do whatever ya want, you want me to suck your canoli? I'll suck your fucking canoli.>You want me to eat shit, I'll eat your shit right in front of my fuckin family!Probably something like that.
>>220926711With Tony's crew mostly gone, Paulie quietly built a smaller but more streamlined operation to replace it, with more younger guys involved in white collar and cyber crimes. The New York mob changed similarly and both of their influence was extremely lessened to what it once was thanks to war and increased law enforcement pressure. Years later a quiet vacation of the DeConcini family in a South Pacific resort is shattered by an explosion. Butch DeConcini is killed along with his grandson. Local law enforcement never figures out who placed the bomb but there's a gabagool sandwich and a box of canolli found delivered to DeConcini's hotel suite.
>>220926711Carmela: Sells the house and uses the proceeds, living trust, and life insurance to continue flipping houses. AJ: Taken under the wing of little Carmine after a second failed suicide attempt. Becomes an executive at his production company that branches out from porn and eventually becomes mid-level in the wake of Cleaver and the new Baldwin projectMeadow: Defence attorney at big firm who loses her bleeding heart for minorities Silvio: ComatosePatsy: Given bump and token underboss role by NY to run Jersey directly beneath whoever they install to oversee their new Jersey operation Paulie: Cancer comes back within a few months. Steps back and eventually dies alone within a year.Janice: Becomes over-bearing soccer mom to her two daughters that eventually estrangeJunior: Dies alone without even knowing who or where he isButch: Made boss in New York
>>220926711Tony survives, but only barely but realizes being a massive fattie with heart problems almost doomed him in that restaurant. He spends the next year getting himself and his crew into proper shape, to restore their honor and reputation with all the small petty conflicts and drama that entails. One or two of the old boys end up packing up and gets "traded" to other families in exchange for some eager but dumb younglings, like Christopher was at the start or the two dumb fucks who tried to off Tony for Richie. And after a time, it works and Tony starts feeling safe again, like he has control, and the news of his success with his crew in his area spreads to the other families.But instead of emulating it, trying some of the changes for their own crews, they see it as a threat to them and the established order. In the ensuing conflict, there are plenty of causalities on both sides, Meadow dies and Anthony ends up siding with a rival family and kills Tony in his vulnerable grief state.
>Meadow does fine>AJ grows up, finally >Carmella loses the house and has to move in with Janice
>>220927847>Carmella loses the house and has to move in with JaniceHow would that happen? The inverse is more likely.
>>220927896I think the property tax on that house is pretty high, but it is paid off iirc. At the very least Carmela would have to get a job or do something like Angie, which we know Carmella is too stupid to do.
>>220926711I went to an ice cream shop and didn't realize it was the one this scene was filmed in. They had a bunch of sopranos merch for sale. The ice cream was very good.
Furio hears the news and comes back to finally pipe Carmela and manage things as Patsy's 2nd in command of the jersey remnant crew.
>>220927946I don't see her continuing to live in the house after Tony dies anyway. Meadow's moved out and it's far too large a house for just her and AJ. She would likely sell it and probably go on with her house flipping.
>>220926711Tony goes to prison for the rest of his life. Meadow finishes law school, marries Patsy's son, and becomes a mob lawyer. AJ continues working for Carmine Jr, being exposed to mob crime but never actively participating in it. Carmella has to sell their house at a loss and moves in with Meadow, taking nice care of their home and even their kids. Paulie gives Carmella close to nothing and it turns out Tony was more or less totally lying about the money he had put away in the event he went to prison or died
>>220926711Skyler is a lay about, battling depression.Meadow turns SJW coded and goes full Johnny Cocharan at her new job, using her father's death as both motivation personally, and sympathy elsewhere for attention. AJ is in therapy after watching his dad killed, and the baby phase is now gone. Witnessing the strongest man he ever knew murdered in front of his eyes made him question every worry he's ever had.
>>220928311Syl recovers from his coma and becomes a stunt double for Al Pacino.
>>220927896NTA but Tony was being prosecuted at the time of his murder. Feds probably took the house.
>>220926711Not only does he die but his whole family is taken with him because no way Paulie and patsy are taking on that monetary obligation
>>220928374From a corpse? The case against him falls apart with his death and besides, the house is in Carm's name. He says that back in season 1.
>>220926711AJ get iPad
>>220926711basically house of ashur only with paulie walnuts and instead of a strong black mulignan protagonist its some guido youth he takes under his wing and a hooker with a heart of gold who they fight and betray each other over. paulie deals with new york moving in while trying to maintain as much independence as he possibly can manage with a mind to starting his own crime "family"
>>220927405What about Tony and Melfi?
>>220926757Well we know Paulie over as boss with patsy as his 2 in nj. Then butchie and the parrot take over the one nyc 1 family. Both are under lil carmines control who BBB is expanding into Hollywood after taking over a he could in Miami, nyc and nyj. Carlo gets a deal, meadow would survive but the rest of Tony’s family ai/wife are probably dead aj is definitely dead. Do she just goes off and turns into the other sister and it ends the sopranos line.
>>220928402I don't think Patsy is going to kill his son's fiancee, and he doesn't seem THAT vindictive to kill Tony's wife and kids. Greedy fuck that Paulie is, I still don't see him killing them to get out of paying, he'll just give them the runaround and eventually relent and stiff them with a token sumI know the "real" Italian mafia (especially the Commorah and Stida were brutal with entire family killings but even that was for ratting) kills families too but it's still not completely "just cos lol", and "standards have gone to shit" but creating a huge red hot potential outrage about "promising young lawyer and entrepreneur gunned down in cold blood" still doesn't seem that likely
Yeah aj definitely gets killed with Tony. When chase semi confirmed Tony was killed aj would be killed to prevent a revenge kill or aj talking. Carmela wouldn’t probably survive only meadow survives because she was purposely delayed. Aj served his purpose for lil carmines feeding him information and getting cleaver made to split up the nyj leadership and family
>>220928709Aj Had to get to prevent talking. Remember he’s Tony’s son and he worked under lil carmine who got Carlo arrested and okayed the hit on Phil. Aj was a loose end, and it prevents a revenge killing or aj talking to the cops about lil carmine anyone who knew about lil carmine is dead except paulie and butchie. He’s the bank
>>220926836Horses had already been wounded during the exchange.
>>220926711Tony actually died from eating onion rings. They established that he wasn't allowed to eat onions after the shooting, and reminded you again when he couldn't eat eggplant just a few episodes before the finale.
Tony gets shot once, clean shot back to the head, instantaneous death (explaining our cold cut as an audience) assassin rushes off leaving a screeching Carmela and catatonic AJ.Meadow becomes a sleazy mafia adjacent defense attorney who helps greasers circumvent sentencing. AJ joins the army and dies a really stupid preventable death, like getting run over by a fellow soldier but in Fallujah. Janice knows enough to keep her ugly head down for the rest if her life.
>>220926711He farded and ruined his familys nice dinner.
>>220928113>Furio would sit around crying about geriatric pussy for yearsThey've got women in Italy, too- he would have moved on by that point.
Tony is whacked in front of his family, traumatizing them. The hammer comes down on Little Carmine, Butch, Paulie and everyone else who was at the meeting in the garage as the feds had the room wired (remember when tony calls George to set it up that call was being recorded). The New Jersey family is effectively removed at this point, Carlo flipping basically puts everyone of importance away (they finally got a rat to actually survive).What's left of the Lupertazzi family lays low for a while, power vastly reduced. Esplanade project falls apart due to the scandal, Zellman probably forced to resign.Agent Harris loses his career as well for getting too chummy with Tony.AJ probably ends up back in the psych ward or an heroing and succeeding this time. Carmela turns to alcohol and becomes kind of like Joanne (Christofuh's mother). Meadow copes better than the others, she most likely ends up as a CRIMINAL lawyer like Levy from the Wire or Saul Goodman.But as far as New Jersey goes, the day of the Italian Mafia is done. Crime in Jersey becomes dominated by black gangs, latin american cartels, and the Russian mafia.
>>220926711>We decapitate and do business with what's leftPaulie, Patsy and the remains of Tony's glorified crew get fully absorbed by New York
>>220928628>Tony Dead.>MelfiI genuinely forgot about her but considering she had already severed their relationship prior to his death I would think she would just cry to her therapist about how she feels guilty but she'd move on with her life.
>>220928913>>220928913Most accurate so far but Carmela would probably start traveling with Rosalie more as they bond over shared grief, they would inevitably go to Rome and both become more religious after getting an audience with a cardinal or attending the pope's Angelus.
>>220928374If he's killed then they wouldn't seize it, only if he was convicted. As mentioned it was in Carmella's name, so she would have it. What matters is how much Tony's family would have after his death. Insurance payout (if he had any, I'm assuming he did though) and whatever financial assets remain after whatever debts he had get paid off. If they're in some deep shit then they have no choice they need to sell. But if they have plenty then Carmella might move and give AJ the house when he's an adult with a job.
>>220928947VAE VICTiS amirite??
