I get what this cac was saying….Look at dikkies clothing throughout the video…blue…blue sweater, blue tie at the funeral. Now look at Harold…red…red shirts, the shotgun scene…he IS the devil taking out the saints. The symbolism is brilliant.

It is mid when a black man beats the mafia
It’s okay breh. You’ll get a lot more daps with that narrative in TLR.It is mid when a black man beats the mafia
Naw you wanted to see some gangster shyt and when the movie showed you what really happened during that time you couldn't handle it.
Movie fully explores tony origins and answers many questions about him.

They should have had young Tony hit the weights or the dbol or something. He was supposed to be a muscular, stocky kid. Not a skinny fat incel.
This one was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Even without The Sopranos connection or comparison, it's a D list mob movie. Just indefensible. David Chase didn't care about The Sopranos, I don't know why he made the movie, but it wasn't to make a deserving tribute to the show.
I feel like it was shoehorned in to jump on the success that all-black are black-emphasized casts have had on the box office over the last 5 years. At least dudes got some reps in out of itRight!! Harold was a bad ass character. But not for a fukking sopranos movie that already had long established characters and storylines. I don’t remember a Harold ever being mentioned on the show.

Nah, they turned it into a D List action/mob film. We wanted to see gangster shyt in context to a prequel that already had established storylines and timelines. Why the hell did they make Silvio Dante an old man? In the 60s and 70s? He was wearing a tupe, when it was already established he wasn’t that much older than Tony. That’s just bad, man.

The symbolism is corny. I mean, this is the kinda angle they’re running with? That kinda goes against the whole “pro-black” angle brehs in here are trying to run with. Even then, the saints keep on marching as Tony ends up becoming a successful monster anyways. Hell, what would that make uncle June since he’s the one who took out dikkie anyways. A saint or a sinner?
Your grip is about Silvio rocking g a rug when most men start going bald at 25
You learn why tony becomes a gangster
You find out chris father was not a drug addict but it was rumor started by tony mother just a evil bytch
You find out why tony had a fantasy about an Italian chick.
Just tons of backstory.

None of that makes up for the other storyline and timeline mistakes throughout. Even with Tony, they turned him into some akward lemming. You’d think dikkie and Tony would’ve been closer, since Tony describes him as being “to Tony what Tony is to Chris”. It should’ve been a mini series to showcase Tony’s descent into that world. No Feech LaMana card game, none of the key elements and other characters who were supposed to be around at that time. Why the hell was there a Frank Lucas sighting?Your grip is about Silvio rocking g a rug when most men start going bald at 25

He was still the central villain of the story and wore red throughout the film, thus the allegory with the devil still holds merit.
And they can’t cram 6 years of Sopranos into a 2 hour prequel film, especially with the introduction of Harold who had a lot of screen time. It needed to be a series and Tony was far too young.
