He’s having dinner with his family when the series ends. Happy ending.
>>221376994His daughter kills him, how is that a happy ending
>>221376994My dad unflinchingly believes members only jacket guy pulls out a machine gun and just annihilates the entire family and I can’t talk him out of it.
>>221376994Having the final scene take place in some random diner that isn't even Italian or anyway thematically linked to the show always felt like a tryhard effort going out of the way to avoid bookending the show because that's not rEaLiStIc or some shit.
>>221376994Some autistic twat is gonna bring up onion rings and claim Tony suicide
>>221376994I don't understand why people pretend that he got killed. >IT CUTS TO BLACK AT THE END!!!All films/shows do
He died in the safe house. That's why the episode opens with him in the same position as when he got shot and funeral music is played The whole episode is just his version of the final stage before he's clipped and has to restart all over again in Melfi's office from the pilot
>>221378098They spent seasons for shadowing it, kept repeating hints that what happens is everything goes black and that’s it. Lil carmine won
>>221377474Based, they would all deserve it, especially Carmela. But the thought of Tony being domed in front of her, Paulie telling her to fuck off when she inevitably begs for support, and her having to get a real job is nice too.
>>221378146>I thought black was deathCongrats. You are saying Tony dies because of a take from AJ
>>221377474Thats my headcanon too. Yeah theyre civilians but its messy times and the boy one day becomes a man. We've all seen Godfather II, whatever happened there. So Carmela is better off going too so it looks random.
>>221376994even if he wasn't killed there he was going to end up dead or in jail very soon anyway
>>221377474Carmella and AJ die for sure, Meadow is spared. There's a lot of symbolism in the scene that points towards that.
>>221378198He probably would get home arrest because of his injury and bring an informant for terrorism
>>221378177He dies so lil carmine can take over nyc and nyj, lil carmine had bases in Miami, nyc, nyj and Los Angeles at the end of the series and cash rich money laundering to wash it all.
>>221378215that's the happy ending
>>221378146That's a boring ending though. mobster gets whacked and we learn crime doesn't pay. Yawn.
>>221377474He might be right, I always thought only Tony dying was a bit unrealistic. They're all right there, they'd all get ventilated for sure
OP is unironically right. Anything after the cut to black is pure conjecture and not canon. You can't meaningfully say Tony died any more than you can say AJ ended up becoming a helicopter pilot.
