This is one of the things I found relieving, when Chase confirmed that Ralph killed Pie-O-My. I was 100% sure that Ralph killed her. He didn't care about animals, he was a sociopath, he was hemorrhaging money on her, he needed a lot of money to pay for his son's hospital bills, he changed the subject immediately every time Tony brought her up, and the circumstances just worked out so perfectly in Ralph's favor that I found it too fortuitous to be an accident. It annoyed me when people tried to argue something so obvious when there are other, more important things to actually debate about the show.

It's funny how some seem quick to judge David Chase for not having as much insight as the fans may have about his own show. It seems reasonable that a man who created a show with the premise of a protagonist that struggles to come to terms with his own ego, may himself struggle with coming to terms with his own ego. An artist may paint a beautiful painting they have in their mind, but that doesn't mean they understand why they painted it the way they did. David Chase may have written Sopranos in an attempt to reach certain conclusions about life for himself, in which case, he is equally part of the audience as any of us.

Not saying he doesn't still have his good side but him being more troubled manifested itself in hurting people more

I don’t think he got darker. I think he was just more resolved to the person he was and the life he was in. He stop romanticizing the life like he had previously and stop acting like the people in the life were reasonable or had honor. He was always a dark person, look at how he took out the Bevelaqua kid, hell he was gonna suffocate his mother. He just got to a point where he wasn’t taking crap from anyone for any reason.

Yeah that's absolutely wild, I mean they quite literally and blatantly had him become darker/more predisposed to violence and flying off the handle even when he's purely being vindictive and mean, in short they literally tried to get audiences to 'hate' Tony towards the end much in the same way they made people hate or start disliking Walter White in Breaking Bad. There's absolutely no way that was coincidentally written or unintended either. Honestly, after The Many Saints of Newark idgaf what David Chase says lmao, he could come out and state that Tony 100% died in the finale and I'd take that as seriously as the schizo fans on the early 2000s HBO show forums (Oz/The Wire/Entourage/The Sopranos), it's like the guy didn't even revisit the series for the movie there was so much weirdly retconned/cut out stuff it's mind boggling.

Chase really put his heart and soul into this series. Must admit I was shocked by his belief his mother would have been a criminal if she'd been more a man. That's a deep dive.

I can think of a few allegories for him.
Fascinating that he would share all these details. I thought his attitude previously has been for the fans to draw their own conclusions.
I personally think The Soprano's actors don't like their fans or something. The TalkingSopranos channel turns the comments off on every video they make. I'm not sure what the deal is with that exactly, but it comes off that way. I know they take questions on other sites, but still. They should allow people to comment and show their appreciation and what they think of the interviews. It's like "We don't care what you guys think, just watch us and listen to what we have to say"
Steve Shrippa ruined that show which had great potential. That they disabled comments is extremely telling. The man has the insight and depth of thinking of a 5th grader.

Sometimes I wonder, after many saints, does David Chase even remember the show? Lol. He wrote it so what do I know, but I don't know how he can say Tony didn't get darker or worse, especially since he was trying to change and see "each day as a gift" him falling back into what he was before but worse, making bobby commit his first murder, killing christopher and having zero remorse, had always stuck out to me as a reason for his downfall. Also I think the therapy definitely helped him as a criminal, he got the idea to put junior as boss to take the heat off of him from therapy. He got the nerve and justification to himself to kill Tony B from therapy, which didn't fully help but was better than letting him go like he most likely would have done had he not went to therapy.

I disagree with Chase on the "deal with the devil" thing. I think Melfi was the one exception, and her not going to Tony about the you-know-what is definitely proof of that.

Does Tony Soprano die? Yes and no. Imperioli touches on that sunyata Buddhist theory. Whereby nothing ends, it just continues. Dr. Schwinn explains the Schrödinger equation. Every calculation is based on ever changing variables in the equation. Nothing is constant, everything is in flux. Because Tony was enlightened by Gloria's understanding of Buddhist teachings, he subconsciously ponders the question in his coma dream. The monk tells him "There's no you, there's no me." We watch Tony take his journey toward the afterlife. What led up to his death. He suspected that his death was imminent. That conversation with Bobby on the boat. Tony comes to his conclusion, hence... "I GET IT!!!" When in a drug induced mindset, he adds up all the permutations, and comes up with an answer. The cobwebs are finally removed. He gets to eat for free. In the final scene, Tony selects the Journey tune, "Don't Stop Believin'". We are told to believe that Tony's journey continues, because of the Schrödinger's cat question. The 'cut to black' cinematic technique allows us to ponder Tony's fate. The "Members Only Jacket Guy" walks into the bathroom, the bell rings, Tony looks up, now our imagination takes over the rest of the story. Some says he dies; some says he lives; some say they don't know.
Didn’t Chase accidentally refer to the ending as Tony’s death scene while being interviewed for Alan Sepinwall’s book?
I read that article, and so was under the impression that Tony was killed. I recall Chase talking about how it wouldn't have been in the diner. That they had wanted to do it when Tony made a trip to NY. I guess I didn't quite get that he had said that they not only scrapped that scenario, but the idea of Tony being killed, as well. It's interesting then, the his fate still remains unknown and unseen. While it might sound silly and derivative, I think it would be worth their time to do a sequel. To follow up with the family, however many years in the future. Let us know what happened to Tony, and also take a closer look at A.J., Meadow, and Carmela.
It’s crazy how David Chase wanted Ray Liotta to be Ralph originally
About the girl with the New York connection thing. Her model photo was on the wall when the New York guys had a huddle about "And you used to sell razors out the back of your Crown Vic" scene. So that was the connection that the internet made, like to insinuate these NY guys knew of this model chick they reached out to or somethjing or had a relative they knew of or smething.

Huh, I never really thought that the runners intentionally wanted to make Phil gay or bi. I figured it was more humor that was appropriated for headcannon

I don’t think Phil was actually gay but I think he was so homophobic because he was scared at the idea someone might think or assume he ever once had a gay experience in the can. He was extremely self conscious about his last name Leotardo for instance which was more effeminate than Leonardo.

This is definitely the most reasonable takeaway. To 100% say he was a closeted gay is a little outlandish. The joke was about how insecure and uncomfortable he was, not that he secretly wanted to bang Vito

I’m really happy that David Chase cleared up the whole “ David Chase confirms Tony really did die at the end when the screen went to black!” I really lost a lot of faith in American school systems after that. Because I remember within 12 months after the series had ended David Chase did an interview and he flat out says that he wanted the fans to go away thinking after the screen went to black was “I wanted the fans to think that no matter what happened in Tony’s life he’s always going to be looking over his shoulder and one day he’s either going to go to the penitentiary for for the rest of his life or he’s going to get killed.” And then a decade later, the Hollywood reporter runs a story and they use “David Chase confirms Tony dies at the end “ So I read the interview, and David Chase never once said in that interview that Tony died. Yes, there was a shady looking individual there, but if you actually use logic and pay attention to the story, they were telling nobody from either family, New Jersey or New York knew that Tony and his family were going to be in that restaurant. But so many people took a headline, and didn’t even read the article, and just believed it. I was so happy he cleared that up. Before James, unfortunately and sadly passed away in real life I really did want them to do a sopranos movie and then finding out a couple years after he died that after five or six years after the show ended. He wasn’t as burnt out on it as he was during the last three seasons And he was very open to the idea of doing a sopranos movie and coming back as Tony soprano. I really wish we could’ve gotten that.
