when i first saw it thought i was cheated of a Tony death scene but now i see how brilliant it really was
shareNah, it wasn't brilliant. It was a cope out and the audience deserved to see an ending rather than leave it ambiguous
shareIt wasn't ambiguous.
Everything that shows that Tony was assassinated, is right there - you just don't see it.
But Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there.
I saw it, because I watched.
It was brilliant from a producer standpoint, but not from a story standpoint.
Chase got the end the series without having to write an ending. Plus, if Gandolfini had not tragically died so unexpectedly, we'd have had a real Sopranos movie by now and Tony would be alive - and no one would cry foul. Maybe Tony would have died in the movie/sequel.
You can get someone else to play Tony in a movie

You could, but who would go to see it?
Did you watch a James Bond movie after Sean Connery left the franchise?

Honestly, I've only seen the Roger Moore Bonds, but that's not a bad point actually. Still, I can't see anyone else playing Tony unless it's a prequel with a much younger actor.
I recommend seeing You Only Live Twice with Sean Connery. Its very much grounded in reality for a Bond movie

shareThey definitely ended it the way they did to leave the door open for a future return. But alas, Gandolfini passed on.
shareI had never seen a single Sopranos episode by the time the final episode aired. I remember seeing news coverage and the final moments of that last episode and thinking "oh, he gets whacked at the end."
Then later, I went back and watched the entire series. When I arrived at the end of the final season and came to the last scene once again I said, "yep, he gets whacked at the end."
I don't know how people can interpret it any other way.
And yes, I love the way it was shot, loved the ending. Chase executed (pun intended) perfectly.
Tonys death should have been something dramatic instead of what we got
