The guy who played AJ literally hasn’t aged at all
He’s almost at the same age as Gandolfini was at the start of the series.
@@Fleyk1707 its the adrenochrome he's taking.
Still a pretty insufferable b list celebrity from what I made of him with a podcast episode or two 🤷🏻♂️
*The Sopranos Cast Reflect On How the Show Ended*
Every cast member: "Yeah idk bro."
Lmao. Just shrugs all around
for real. talk about useless
Because they don't lol, they have no clue since their script literally just cuts out there.
Edie literally says "as if they continued to go on after the camera stopped but in fact they didn't.". They all died except for Meadow.
Whaddya gonna do?
Remember what Bobby said "when it happens I bet you don't even hear it right?" And when Gerry got hit sitting next to Sil, it went silent and Sil didn't even realize what happened until blood hit his face. We kept seeing Tony's point of view as people we're walking into the diner, everytime the bell rang Tony looked up and we see through his eyes. He looks up one last time to see his daughter and we see his point of view, complete darkness or death. The members only jacket the mysterious man was wearing is a big hint as well tht he was a wise guy.
Yup 👍🏽 I thought the same, when he sees meadow for the last time the guy that was in the bathroom shot him in the head,and the silence is what “bacala” said..that mysterious guy was an Italian and probably an assassin from phill
They could of just showed that, that thought they were being smart making an ambitious ending.
No Tony just passed out again and had a fever dream where he set himself on fire while his crew watched.
@J H his name is Michael Imperioli and no he didn't say that at all.
the darkness at the ending can be two things:
the death
or the dark,i mean that without doctor Melfi, without his closest friends, Tony remains empty.
Christopher still has amazing hair
I am not even 30 but I wish I had his hairline!!
Every time Tony looks up, the camera changes to the door. Indicating that camera view is his perspective. The last time he looks up, it doesn’t show the door. It shows blackness. Void. Dark. He got popped.
He didn’t hear it coming.
🎶 don't stop believing 🎶
Not proven
@@allaboutthemurzic dude you’re the type of person who literally needs cue cards to understand the most simplest things.
It’s very clearly illustrated and unless you have to have things spelled out to understand them, the entire POV section should clear things up.
@@Nanobot1989 the last shot wasn’t even in Tony’s POV it literally showed his face lol. Maybe you need a cue card to understand the simplest things since you clearly don’t understand what POV means
@@bcp25got it. You’re being purposefully stupid. My bad. Carry on.
I adore Lorraine's voice
+Total wreck the same actress that played Jane Frankie and Tommy Rizzoli's mum on Rizzoli and Isles
Me too lol
@@peterwilliamskelhorn6675bro why is her voice hella scratchy now sounds like she needs water on standby vs season 1
She sounds like my cousins from Long Island 😅
Cigarettes
Honestly, getting clipped like that with Tony's final memory being seeing his daughter is the perfect way for him to go. Just look at Sil, Pussy, Bobby, uncle Junior, Johnny Sak, and how they went out. It was a blessing in disguise. Given how any of the other major characters went, it is extremely unlikely Tony survived.
It isnt confirmed hes dead
The creator said he considered how tony could die but he never said tony did die
How do you think Meadow life will turn out? She had to watch her Dads head blown off. And you know it was with a sawed off shotgun.
@@allaboutthemurzic He did
@@allaboutthemurzic David Chase confirmed that Tony was killed in this last scene. He's gone
@brunopereiraikercasillas6265 never confirmed that Tony died. All Chase said was that he planned Tony to get whacked in a meeting in NY but stuff gets re written all the time. Tony's mom for example prob woulda been in the show longer but the actress passed away unfortunately.
I believe Tony died either way. Wether or not he was shot dead in front of his family , or if he lived and went to jail ect. One thing that season 6 made me realize about Tony is that his character was done evolving. He was a mob boss, a wise guy at heart. Turned away by his therapist , resented by people who’ve felt hurt by him, accepted by his wife and children the father he was.
exactly. he has no more to show us. his character development was finished
Yeah the problem is that all us fans wanted the show to keep going so we came up with all these theories as to who ordered the hit on Tony and so on. It didn't really matter because the show was over anyway. So the only question is did Tony get whacked or did we get whacked?
An assassin entered the diner, Tony was killed. Meadow took shrapnel in one eye. She lived (with an eye patch) and became the Attorney General for NJ. Carm seized control of OC. Built a fortified palace. AJ went nuts on money, drugs, and power. Furio came back and helped cement it all. I have another 10 seasons written. I've reached out. They all ignore me. "Fan-fiction" has destroyed smart writers... Ah, well...
Lmaooo 👍
Lol ...a true fan
This was great lol
U look like that guy, chrystopher friend,the writer from the movies😅
Furio got Carm pregnant with a surrogate and they named him FJ.
They all look great
You too
@@cracklingsoda
I concur 😏
Everyone gets the ending that they want. Whatever you want to happen to Tony happens.
Open to interpretation 😉,smart final..but in the last 6 minutes is very clear that the end is his end🙃
So Tony is alive and very well and happy ENDA STORY
I never thought about it like that... actually a great way to look at it
@@corvotorvo4337 Base on the show that's the true ending, they were just happily eating in the restaurant ,thsts it
The best show ever love it
What happened to Tony depends on what you want to do to him. If you want him to suffer for his crimes, then he had a blackout, woke up, and continued with his hell of a life, with the gang war and the criminal prosecution and more scary blackouts and at the end Alzheimer's like his uncle. But if you want to be nice to Tony, then he got snuffed out like a candle.
Junior only had alzheimer because of the microphone that 💥 in his head😅
I think the blackouts had symptoms before they happened. This darkness was very sudden like one second and no warning. So Its Tonys death scene. + he died very fast( got shot in the head)
Not confirmed he died
What about his family. Who've suffered tremendously. Carmen, his son attempting suicide. And now Meadow who watched it happen. It's why at the beginning of shows the camera looking at Tony from the door. That's Meadow view.
@allaboutthemurzic yes we know. It is heavily implied
Imperioli still looks good but why does it seem like he’s aged ten times faster than everyone else?
Genetics and stress maybe
Cause he just let his hair go grey?😕
He looks near the exact same in the face he probably was just predisposed to go grey earlier
Because real men never dye their hair!
@@neiljohnson5351 I mean that's not true.
The ending was perfect.
I can't understand the confusion about the ending. I mean first of all, take what you want from it but it seemed to me to be pretty straightforward that Tony got killed. All of the clues were littered throughout the season, especially the bells! But also, for those who want to know what happened to Tony's wife and children, that too was explained pretty thoroughly throughout the last season when Tony's out of action in hospital after Uncle Junior shot him. The family basically descends into chaos. I'm remembering in particular, Carmella's twisted face after the realisation that Paulie was extremely unhappy about providing her with money and only does so when he realises that Tony isn't going to die (from Uncle Junior's bullet).
Not confirmed he died
@@allaboutthemurzic the writer said himself he is dead
@@angelic_screams he only ever talked about other ways he envisioned tony getting whacked. The sopranos universe ends when tony looks up at the door. Nothing more nothing less
@@bcp25Not true. He said that when he noticed the little restaurant where they filmed the last scene, he said to himself "Tony should get it in this kind of place".

They lived happily ever after. In my world they do!!!! Believe that!!!!! 😂😂😂🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
I just realized that these interviews were right after the 20 year anniversary interview they all had!
Interpretation is left to the beholder!
"member's only" comin' outta da batroom... whateva happened dere.
It’s crazy that AJ had the best response
I agree with Jamie-Lynn Siger. Life went on.
Although David said recently Tony died, I want to believe it's open for thought.
I think all was just showing the constant anxiety Tony had to live with but he remained with his family.
Reading all the comments have shown me your average viewer absolutely hates having to sit with anything unresolved and think for themselves.
Well because it's unsolved. You can think everything but that doesnt mean anything because as you said is unsolved. The show ended with Tony eating at a restaurant, that's it, unless it is on screen he was just eating there, until its a new sopranos series thst says Tony really die or not.
Its only that you like to think in useless theories that will always remain as theories until we actually see it on screen.
They all know the ending. They all give an ambiguous answer like: "I don't know", "It just ends". C'mon, one of them has to have some theory, right? Nope, they hide it, they signed a clause with Chase to not give any theory or personal explanation.
Every body loves a great RIDDLE!
I will quote Mr Blonde 'Either he's alive or he's dead or the cops got him, or they don't?
Well, I think it was just Tony's anxiety.
But great quote and answer. Lol.
He got killed but was able 2 see meadow 1 last time
Interesting. He got to see everyone he loved before seeing blackness.
I believe he was killed.
That's the right and only ending for me
Nope I disagree I think the blackout at the end was his final pov and never got to see meadow.
I always thought he died but maybe him looking worried and and being suspicious of every person coming in and out of places he is is just his life now. Always looking over his shoulder, family not safe. Idk lol great ending.
I love Christopher in every movie he's in
Pretty darned uniform set of opinions from the cast. They just don't want to cross David Chase.
Exactly!... Very disappointed in their responses. Rubbish!
Yeah. ET is a waste of time, like most of television.
Best non-answers of all time lol
Man! Meadow is still a smoke show!
Keep it high and tight!
Lorraine Bracco....
@@illwitness ...........😑
Mannish face, looks glued on
@@License2Bust yea she looks fake
Tony got his brains blown out but reappears stepping out of the shower in the next series. It was all a dream.
With the theme from the Bob Newhart show!
at least edie is honest. basically the expectations were so high that they said "fuck it", and cut to black. so instead of pleasing one part of the fans or another, chase angered them all in one fell swoop.
Meadow says it perfectly, it just ended but if you think about it, you get a sense Tony's dead but DONT STOP BELIEVIN
Tony didn't die. He was just having anxiety while eye-balling that door. Because of the life he chose.
The result is clear if you follow the progression of action;
We see Tony.
The bell at the door rings, we see Tony look up and we see what Tony sees; Carmella walking in.
We see Tony.
The bell at the door rings, and again we see Tony look up and we see what Tony sees; A.J. walking in.
We see Tony.
The bell at the door rings, and again we see Tony look up and we see what Tony sees; but this time what Tony sees is nothing because Tony has just been shot dead.
Wtf Aj talks so different i guess that makes him a good actor
Toneyy my spec houssze!
The crux for me was after such fantastic scripts this was a damp squib,possibly to bring it back to life in the future.
First thing Imperioli should do is get wings in his hair...you know like Paulie!
Oh my god, Lorraine Bracco looks absolutely fantastic
Meadows parking job WAS MADRIPE
Ojala supiera ingeles para saber k dice ay
The writing was so good that they left clues to justify 10 different endings, I even saw on person say that AJ and tony got whacked and they got aj first cus his POV would have been looking at tony then cut to black,there is no right answer or is no wrong answer but chase and his team realized they show was so popular and had so much riding on the ending that the only way they could end it without ruining it was to do what they did
If you watch the final four minutes of the finale carefully, you can tell that Tony was anticipating something bad to happen to him. This is evident when he's waiting for his family to come and when the door opens the first time with the door bell sound he immediately reaches for his pocket indicating he's prepared (he's got a gun) but nothing happens. He does the same thing in the last scene where Meadow's arrival is anticipated. He reaches for his gun. We can just chalk it up to the fact nothing necessarily happened, just like the first time and meadow simply just walked in.
0:33 damn that hit hard i gotta realize that it doesnt go on😂
In the end it doesn’t matter because it was over for him every which way
I think the actors don't even know what the ending means, it seems like they didn't even think about it for a bit. They all agreed "yes this is the ending idk what it means but take it 👍"
We like the ending for the many things it implies and how it allows you to imagine any conclusion you want after it cuts off
Like Meadow said, life just went on, nobody clapped Tony, we would have heard at least a gunshot but we didn't.
I'd have ended it with it turning out to be Kevin Finnerty passing time on his cI'd have ended it with it turning out to be Kevin Finnerty passing time on his commute from NYC to NJ by writing each episode, which is why they are different lengths, with the theme song playing in his head, a kind of fantasy life.
They left you wanting more and never jumped the shark.
You choose your own ending.
Oooh gosh! 🤣🤣🤣
Ya'll are actually asking the cast, "What do you think happened?"....
If David Chase himself is not sharing, then you should know....the cast aren't going to speak on it! 😂😂😂😂
When y'all see them, just share how much you appreciated their talents they contributed to the show; they get enough fans that constantly ask them, "what happened? "...😅😅😅
The ending is left up to your own interpretation!
The ending is very simple. It is the final moments of one man’s life. The Black out ending is Death in it’s true form. Instant,but definite. From the Light &Into the Abyss.
Real death really depends on how you go. Most of the time though it's a fade. Your eyes lose sight, the colors all warp like an old TV set, gravity sucks you down. Then stars in your vision accumulate, then overwhelming dizziness, twilight, and a growing ring paired with what sounds like seashells cupping over your ears. The vein in your neck pumps overtime until your heart eventually sputters out. Pain slowly goes as this happens too, along with sensation in your extremities. Then, you pass out completely. Your lungs outgas your final breath, "the rattle" and your bowels loose. The End.
UNLESS of course you're revived/revive Then all is reverse. An off color image of the person(s) trying to resuscitate you, looking purple ghoulish, no sound, then poping air brakes in your ears, followed by gradual hot cold sweat trickling all over your limbs, and hearing someone sucking in an epic hard breath, realizing only later it was you. Everything is Godfather sepia tone for hours afterward. You hear sounds off center of where they should be. Then somebody tells you how long you were gone. You'll have a vicious headache in the back of your head for the rest of the day, and jittery nausea. "Dying" sucks!
@@JamesRDavenport Dear God... 😦
@@skull5366 Dear God indeed.
@@JamesRDavenport what happened to you?
@@kmsleyang8972 Well, in one instance I had a bad reaction to medication while battling a respiratory infection. (Pre-corona) It was basically like medically induced sleep apnea. Another, I got caught in a rip current at the beach, couldn't get out of the spin cycle. Both times it looked like I was going to die for good, was fully aware it was happening.Fortunately in the first, someone came home and literally slapped me back to breathing. The second, I happened to catch the edge of an underwater shelf just right so I didn't hit hard but was lifted up out of the water enough to stop, get a breath revive and regain control. Both times it was quite the shock to the system. Funny thing, I had the seashell-cupping-over-my-hearing effect most when I had the med reaction, not the beach!
the true answer: it doesn't matter what happened. There was 0% chance of Tony dying an old free man so use your imagination for what you think should have happened
I don’t think tony died it’s giving us that expression
Wow, that was enlightening. Don't ask actors.
They don't exactly write the script lmao
Shrodingers box
Where's Jackie Jr.
Tony's Shooting... what eva happened there
Whatever happened there?...Whatevr..
100% was taken out by the guy in the green jacket who was suspiciously looking at Tony then later went to the bathroom while Meadow was parking her car. Tony himself was nervous the whole time. Eyeing everyone in the diner before he eases up somewhat. There was plenty of cues in that whole scene. The abrupt ending with the black screen was from Tony's perspective. He 100% got wacked. The man was on burrowed time the minute Phil Leotardo got wacked at the gas station.
They made sure the majority of the people were mad.
*Jamie* 😍
A heard it was Alabama that killed Tony in the end.....
They woke up this morning and got themselves a gun...
Exactly. So many CZcamsrs analyzed the characters and made assumptions as "to what really happened to Tony" is ridiculous. If Chase wanted you to know, he would've filmed it.
Still, looking forward to the prequel.
Prequel?
@@antoniafaheerty6980 oh yes ...and Gandolfini's son, Michael, plays young Tony Soprano.
Total garbage..
They were all media trained
The guy in the members only jacket killed Tony
Tony literally came up missing.
If you look closely, it's all there - David Chase
I think the cast knows but is told to not say anything
Tony’s not dead he didn’t die in my opinion
Go Meadow
My senaro sopranos series goes like this: Patrick Parize takes the don position after wacking Tony Soprano yet not for long because he get wacked By Meadow Soprano and she takes the position of don. She has to set up her brother to be sent to prison because he has become weak like Fredo Corleone. With her brilliance she finally makes the organization a legitimate multi million dollar company. Friero comes back, marries her mom and becomes meadows consulgiary
What I have always found interesting is how did somebody know where he was. If it was the guy who went into the bathroom he must have planted the gun earlier. It was surely a nod at godfather, Michael Corleone in that knew about that meeting. So he planted it earlier. This assassin must have known about the family get together. If he was just following him then he wouldn’t have gone into the bathroom. He went into the bathroom to get the weapon that he planted earlier. Then who sits in a diner waiting all day. He must have known the time, gone in before Tony got there, into the toilets, ordered a drink and the rest is how we see it.
But who do you really tell. Who do you tell the exact time you’re meeting your family and the name of the diner? I get telling somebody you’re going for a meal and maybe the place but all those details, especially the time. I don’t think I’ve ever told anybody what time I am meeting somebody at a restaurant.
It must have been somebody really close to Tony to know all of this. Maybe I need to go and watch it again. Maybe they promised Paulie the boss position or something and he got it set up for them.
AJ's girlfriend is sat with AJ when Carmela says where they are all meeting for dinner, always wondered why they included that scene, maybe she got rewarded or threatened to give up some information, just a thought
Who gave the ok???
"I don't know...
the show ended, figured it out for yourself"
😂 ❤
That's it. No one was going to be happy with the ending so it just went to Black and everyone make up your own ending😂😂😂😂❤
That was good.
Ok
They ate onion rings and never stopped believing until a sad trip to Italy 🇮🇹 😢
I don’t get how a.j doesn’t know what happened .. he was there
My friend thinks that it was actually Meadow who was killed. I dont know what to say.
Why are they scared to say he dies at the end?
When someone opens the door we see tony, then what he sees. The last time the door opens, we see tony then black, cos that’s what tony sees
Hey Pus...its not the thing of ours...its my thing !!
Carmela aged backwards.
It was not a great way to end the show. It wasn't an ending. It was a big, "I don't know what to do. So let's leave it blank." You're a writer. It's your story. Figure it out. Good or bad decision, take responsibility for it.
i agree 100% was one of the worst endings
It’s not rocket science. Tony was whacked. Lights out.
Alive goes on. Carmella is getting pounded by Furio on a regular basis.
How does AJ look like he hasn’t aged a day since season 6? Ik this is 4 years ago- but that’s still well over 10 years after the show ended, and he still looks like a baby lol.
Everyone’s saying tony died, which is prolly true. But my theory is that it’s just his paranoia and it shows he’ll always have this shadow over him of uneasiness. Im refusing to believe they killed him.
Creator David Chase,who would know better than anyone, confirmed to E News that Tony indeed died in that diner!
I neglect the bad ending. People can make whatever theories, I just believe the show ended!!
Hello how are you
Chicken Shit Ending...........When the people """In The Show""""
Don't know whats going on .............Now that's a bed ending ..............
how does AJ look the same as a 19 year old and a 30 something year old
Wait so....The Man Waited For the whole Family Too come in so he had a delay when Meadow was parking...So as soon as she walked in The Guy shot them all? Ending THE SOPRANOS Except it wasn't Cinematic...Am I wrong?
Is this show worth watching?
It doesn't really matter if Tony didn't die that day, in the end it will be he fate bullet in the back of the head
The last season was a desillusion.
Onion rings . 🤤
People have no brains if they need to ask what happened. They are looking into it way too much.
He clearly got whacked, but they left it open so they could cash in down the line if they wanted to. RIP Tony
It was explained in Bojack Horseman!!! Duh
AJ still hasn’t hit puberty, crazy.
Lorraine Bracco was so beautiful, why did she mess with her face?
