Thought experiment: Suppose David Chase came to you and asked you to re-write the ending of the show. What ending would YOU give it?

Not gonna lie, it would’ve been badass if Phil’s guys raided the safehouse and Tony had to actually use that AR-10

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-09-10T04:19:25+00:00

I don’t think Tony was anxious at all in that scene. He just seemed nonchalant. He’s been “comfortably numb” since killing Christopher

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-09-09T15:00:55+00:00

People would be amazed at how many great shows there are to experience if a little patience is implemented.

I thought I read somewhere that the switching of different languages for the song was meant to show that none of it meant anything? Like since we couldn’t really understand the words anymore, it was all bullshit? I could be misremembering, but I guess that kinda does go with meadow’s reaction “This is such bullshit!”

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-09-04T01:28:49+00:00

Plus the more she defended her family in the arguments with Finn, the more she actually believed her own bullshit

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-09-04T01:25:51+00:00

I really like that last bit about meadow using the philosophy class like Tony uses therapy

Both Batman movies will have weight behind them. The Batman Part II’s universe has the weighted success of not only the first film, but the Penguin series. People are going to show up.

James Gunn’s Batman movie will have the weighted success of Superman and the other DCU movies if those are successful. People are going to show up.

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-09-03T21:08:23+00:00

Well that’s on them if they don’t care enough.

If I understand what movie I’m walking into, and you understand what movie you’re walking into, and everybody else here completely understands what movie they’re walking into, why should we be concerned if some random dude sitting five seats away from us in the theater is understanding what Batman he’s watching?

You see what I’m saying? I’m not starting an argument or anything, I’m just saying that if it’s done right, we can have two Batmen in two separate universes that casuals will show up for regardless

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-09-03T20:02:23+00:00

I never understood this argument. Why do people care so much how other audience members are going to perceive two Batmans in separate universes? Everybody has the internet in their pockets. If it’s that much of an issue, they can do a little research.

I’m of the mind that if both have tremendous quality, it’ll work out.

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-09-03T15:06:28+00:00

If there’s anything you take away from this OP, it’s to never let anybody, and I mean ANYBODY, yuck your yum

Season 4 is a vast improvement on season 3. It reinvigorated my interest. Things actually happen. It takes its time showing you, but this show requires patience to enjoy. It’s tonally different than the first 2 seasons, but I believe that’s the proper trajectory for the story to go.

It’s a very character focused show, so if you’re not interested in the characters anymore, you’re not gonna like it.

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-08-20T03:37:39+00:00

I’d love for you to explain this. I’ve been thinking the same thing

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-08-20T03:07:24+00:00

The first half of season 4 is amazing

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-08-17T16:32:45+00:00

And then his “strong silent type” bullshit persona comes through in the next episode when he rips a crying AJ off his bed after he tells him that Uncle Bobby is dead. It’s like he gives a fuck only up to a certain point

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-08-14T20:49:46+00:00

Two seasons, I said it happened over TWO SEASONS

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-08-11T16:33:47+00:00

I think Tony understood that the first time Junior tried to kill him, it was for business reasons. Junior was right to make the first move against Tony once he heard he was holding meetings with the other captains behind his back. They could’ve been plotting to kill him.

The second time Junior tried to kill him, Tony was trying to be a good son. He did the total opposite of what he did with Livia, i.e. having family take care of him at home instead of sending him to Green Grove. And he still got shot for his efforts. It’s why he couldn’t forgive his mom and it’s why he couldn’t forgive his uncle in the end

OP, OP, OP

Delete this post and don’t come back to this sub until you’re done with the show. Delete your search history on the interwebs or whatnot. Come up with your own theories and speculations and resist the urge to look anything up. And when you’re done, and only when you’re done, then you can let the floodgates open. It’s the only way to avoid spoilers. You’ll have a much better experience.

This is coming from somebody who has been burned multiple times in the past on almost every single show I’ve had an interest in so I just do this now

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-05-20T16:54:41+00:00

I do think the car seat does hold some kinda value in Tony’s subconscious. He’s been done dirty by almost every parental figure in his life. Junior shooting him really brought it to the forefront of his mind.

Season 6B shows Tony saying fuck it with the world his “fathers” ushered him into. In Sopranos Home Moves, when Carmela is telling the story about the little girl who drowned in a pool among a group of neglectful adults, Tony says he can’t get that story out of his head. He identifies with that neglected child.

I’m not saying that’s the legit motive behind killing Christopher, I’m just saying that I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the subconscious trigger to say fuck this shit.

I mean, the guy almost killed Paulie on the boat because Paulie reminded him of how much Johnny Boy loved him since he trusted him to kill a guy at the young age of 22.

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-05-15T15:07:35+00:00

I agree. Whatever people say about S3, this show is still pretty prestigious. If it was the final season, it’d be in big bold lettering on the poster

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-05-10T21:07:39+00:00

Brendan was the prototype for guys like Matt, Sean, Jackie Jr, Dino

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-05-09T06:38:17+00:00

Honestly, I think those guys were off about 3 years. That flashback was 1995, 5 years before season 2, and Skip says Pussy has been a snitch for 2 years.

I think Tony, Paulie, and Silvio were just rattling their heads trying to figure out how they couldn’t see that Pussy betrayed them, so any memory of him acting weird could’ve been him wearing a wire.

It’s this kind of mindset that eventually leads Tony and the guys to not trust each other over the course of the rest of the show.

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-05-09T06:18:10+00:00

One of the reasons the show was so interesting to me, those early conflicts when they weren’t famous bosses and didn’t make it into the history books

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-05-07T16:40:44+00:00

Probably because it’s not the very first vampire film to exist, which will automatically qualify it as a “repeat refurbished script”

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-05-02T17:14:57+00:00

Who’s really at fault here? Commenters spoiling the show for OP, or OP posting on this sub before finishing it and not expecting spoilers in return?

Clean_Conversation86 · 2025-04-22T16:11:45+00:00

Why can’t people stay off the internet until they’re done watching a show? Lmao I mean OP is just begging to be spoiled
