Not really. AJ is a complete faggot and Tony never seemed to give a shit in toughening him up in the slightest.

no. he wasn't a good person either.

No. Meagan was everything he hated and AJ couldn't even kill himself. He wasn't even a good mobster.

Literally me

Yes and no. He provided for them but in the process he spoiled them and instead of spending a lot of time mentoring his son he was either working or fucking his bitches and partying.

Still better than a lot of dads though.

He wasnt a great father but AJ was such a piece of shit son that it didn't matter. Tony didn't live him like Meadow but it was clear he did love him.

no

I forgot how shit AJ was.

Tony was just a bad person. I don't know why you would start a family if you're going to fuck hookers and do blow all the time.

He was literally the worst, even from the very beginning
>get expelled
>steals and crashes carmelas car
>smokes weed at confirmation
>stole communion wine
>sets car on fire
>attempts suicide
The list goes on. Tony did what we could with what he had

He was a good friend.

no and he wasn't even particularly smart. none of them were. he was an interesting character tho

Tony tried every season to toughen him up it was Carm that kept him soft. Another reason he resented her and another reason she couldn't measure up to his mother.

Well I do blame AJ's "faggotry" as a result of Tony's bad parenting, which is an extension of the bad parenting of Johnny Boy. Johnny wanted to raise Tony to become a mobster exactly like him, he literally threw Tony into the business (starting from the day Tony witnessed the finger get cut off). Johnny even went as far as assign Tony to commit his first act of murder as if it were a rite of passage into being a man.

Tony grew up and had kids and realized the dangers of being involved in his type of work and raised his kid not to be a "mobster". He wanted AJ to grow up a normal kid and give him an education with the best schools/teachers, at the same time he embellished in trying to be a good father and ended up raising AJ a spoiled rich kid. Another problem is that AJ also inherited Tony's problems, but didn't have the sociopathy/muscle to utilize it. Instead he whined and bitched and grew up a fuck up. Studies show that people are almost 100% influenced by their parents. AJ to me reminds me of Tony in many ways. He has the same type of personality, but the environment he grew up in made him a coward instead of making him an ambitious thug (Tony).

AJ did the smart thing in the end (unintentionally), if he really tried following in his father's footsteps he would have ended up exactly like Jackie Jr. A dumb spoiled kid who thought he can be scarface.

>Tony never seemed to give a shit in toughening him up in the slightest.
Did you even watch the show or were you just playing on your phone like the faggot you are?

this guy gets it
women are literally useless in raising a son and tony had no clue what he was doing

No but he was better than the one he had.

>do blow all the time.

I'm actually doing another rewatch it right now, just finished "Bust Out" from Season 2. Here's how it typically goes:

>Carmela complains about AJ's behavior
>Tony gets mad
>AJ whines
>Tony yells at AJ
>Carmella says Tony's been to hard on AJ
>Tony shrugs and stops giving a shit

for you

Military school would have been the greatest thing to ever happen to AJ. He rack a disciprine.

>tho
fucking queer

So Tony looked at AJ the same way everyone ITTs father looks at them?

i'm a girl :)

Dumbass, we all are.

Not completely useless, but a father figure is much more important in raising a son. Most men raised without a father yearn for a type of father figure, but most grow up to be fuck-ups.

e.g. Christopher Moltisanti and Tony being his "father figure"

Trans pieces of shit aren't real girls user

>doing blow

You're projecting reddit queer

top kek

it's Carmella's fault, Livia was right, Tony shouldn't have married her.

No.

Saw Sopranos on HBO as a kid, but always skipped the channel.

Should I watch it? I know about the ending, but that doesn't bother me. Is it a good mobster series?

Yes. It's one of the towering achievements of the medium. Go watch it. NOW.

Do you always need people to make decisions for you retarded failure?
No one's gonna recommend you watch the most acclaimed TV series of all time, especially after saying that "you saw it on HBO as a kid" what a fucking mong you are

You don't know the true ending though, just what you've heard from others. I recommend The Sopranos, it is hailed by many as the greatest TV program ever made.

In my opinion The Sopranos killed the italian mafia genre forever. Nothing will ever reach such a level as The Sopranos ever again and everything afterwards will fail to impress.

I forgot to quote you but you know who you are fag

it's very slow and boring at first but it gets better

How was Tony's entire family so shit?

>I went to Blockbuster today to rent Cinderella man, and guess what?
>It's still a classic?

blatantly untrue. tony always wanted him to stay away from video games and study more, like meadow did. he was hurt by his son distancing himself from him, but didn't know how to rectify it. AJ was a shit.

Spotted the fucking pleb

What's your families excuse?

My family are saints.

>stay away from video games and study more, like meadow did.

and where did meadow end up ? ooh thats right she got BLACKED lmao xd

i probably am but i still think season 1 was difficult to sit through, i enjoyed season 2-4, the rest not so much

He was much more jew than nig, kinda the opposite of lenny kravitz, maybe like lennys brother morty kravitz

gtfo user

What went wrong with you then?

...

What a piece of shit. My parents would have disowned me if I behaved like AJ.

Livia, Carmela, A.J., Meadow even Uncle Junior and Christopher deserved to be slapped so fucking bad that the fact that Tony treated them well most of the time reflects how much of a good guy he is. His family was so shit he would rather fuck whores and hang out with his buddies all the time. Any sane man IRL would have been much harder with them. But hey, that's how the characters were meant to be portrayed.

>Meagan

I assume you meant Meadow and you're 100% wrong.

>implying jackie junior wasn't more of a nigger

In fact, I thought that was the joke.

good post, I would agree AJ having parents that cared is what saved his life in the end.

Tony made a conscious decision to toughen him up, that was one of the recurring themes in the show with military school and football but he also kept AJ away from anything mob related and that's what saved him in the end

Not Christopher. He had a shit lot in life, sometimes tried to push Tony away, sometimes tried to get closer to him. He seems schizoid a little. Tried to change but couldn't. Don't forget that Tony was practically his father; he put an unhealthy amount of importance on Tony's shoulders and had to scale back. I lived that, the only way you can do it is by pushing his boundaries and realizing that he doesn't measure to the towering giant you have in your mind. After that you can reconciliate. In that environment that's a fuck up but he realized where he belonged in the end. Got popped just as he had found answers to his questions.
Livia is a bitch but the only mom he has. His sister used that to her advantage and manipulated his emotions in the most despicable manner I have ever seen.
Meadow came around, stopped rebelling against her father and accepted him for what he was. Redemption.
A.J. is such a failure he failed to kill himself.
I would have impaled Carmella with a pike the moment she got a let-me-see-the-manager haircut, especially after finding out the bitch stole my money after I gave her a cushy life and everything she wanted. She was not a good mother by any means either.

He made sure his son got nice and fat with all the gabagool.

This show had the best musical selections, bar none.

Tony tried toughening him up when he saw how big of a pussy (no pun intended) he raised. Tony realized he went soft on him for most of his life and now he's suffering badly once AJ reaches adolescence.

youtu.be/nU5MyNuBdhg

Fuck no, he was pretty much absent for most of his kids childhoods hence why AJ was so babied by Carmella.

Meadow was fine because she's actually intelligent but AJ could've used more guidance from his father.

>Saved him in the end
>Became a porn producer

AJ will be shooting pool in the back of the Bing before his 25th birthday.

>AJ sitting in his underoos laughing at a computer screen

yeah dude nice thread
