I think it’s because of how well Disney did with Marvel, and the prospect of bringing back the old cast when Lucas said he’d never do it. And Fox also being a soulless corporation who was being maligned for mishandling their Marvel properties.

I miss those days. Occasionally they show glimpses of her as a decent human being. She at least repents for faking being blind in a recent one. 

Mmmmmm....Mead....

I’d like to think most of the fans who think that way just watched the first season where it’s set up that he’s the henpecked doofus with an obnoxious brother in law.

Sopranos still somewhat influenced fashion with the bowling shirts and tracksuits. So even then the trashiness was glorified. 

It was MADE! in AMERICA! 

The internet has ruined all of our imaginations. There’s probably a fan theory somewhere that Tony is an immortal genie.

Poor Bobby did hear it. 

They could go full Godfather 3 and have Meadow get killed, and he dies a sad/broken old man. Someone on the show did call the film misunderstood! 

But he keeps blaming it on the Indian food.

I honestly preferred the first half when Tony was just a kid on the periphery, and the focus on other characters whose fates aren’t well known to us.

I think Chase really wanted to tell the Newark riot story (which was very good) but the studio browbeat him into forcing in more Sopranos references, so he decided to go all-in and make it as cringe as possible. I loved the first half when it was simply in that world and less of a prequel.

I think “they” wouldn’t do that to her. The revenge would likely be by New York for killing Phil in such an ugly and public way in front of his family, so thus they’d do the same to him. 

But they also get mad when people like the monsters and root for them if they’re too compelling: Walter White, Draco Malfoy, Archie Bunker

They just want to sell their name.

Ah don’ wan’ et

The Masked Sex Partner is a better idea. Contestants have to fuck a celebrity in a costume and guess who it is.

I do hope this means we get Worlds Worst Criminals back 

Gotta love the cognitive dissonance of these shows existing and politicians screaming about the sanctity of marriage and gay marriage being a threat to it at the same time.

Pizza Hut got worse around the same time.
