I actually agree. I went into Sopranos with high expectations and was kinda disappointed, it's an ok show, meanwhile BB is legitimately the best show I've ever seen.
Always has been. Sopranos might have a good story and characters (I don't know, I haven't watched it really) but what it lacks is in the choreography really. I just don't find it convincing to see a bunch of old obese men running around and killing people, with guns or fists, they just look so awkward doing it. The same goes for movies like Casino (remember the scene where Joe Pesci gets beat to death with bats and all the old geriatric fat dudes are lightly tapping him with the bats? So unbelievable). That's why all the new crime television series like Breaking Bad or Boardwalk Empire will always be better than the old shit.

That's not really supposed to be a badass line. That's just Tony telling Chris straight up what he expects from him.
Yeah, seems like you're still missing the point of Sopranos. I'm guessing you're a triggered BB fan who's never actually watched the show. It's a shame because unlike on BB, Tony isn't meant to be your self-insert mary sue. He is what he is, but he's not meant to be idolized at all.
well. the same can be said about breaking bad but you keep insisting that its just full of quips yet these "quips" are much more prevalent than sopranos than on breaking bad.
They aren't. The "quips" on The Sopranos are mostly idiotic lines used to ironically make fun of the characters. On Breaking Bad it's literally '80s action level shit.

same as breaking bad
do you see every single character spouting these "quips"
no because Its only walter white that keeps spouting these idiotic lines.
because thats the kind of character walter white is. hes a chemistry teacher who thinks being in the drug game is like being in a 80s action flick.

Right, but the only problem is the the drug game IS like an '80s action flick on Breaking Bad. Cartoonish stuff happens all the time. I still like Breaking Bad but it just isn't as grounded as The Sopranos. Also, comparing the two isn't really a good idea in the first place. if you're looking for a tightly written story without much extra, then yeah Breaking Bad is the show for you, even if it is a bit unrealistic. The Sopranos is paced in a much more chillout kind of way and is much more about immersing the viewer in the MC's daily life.

i already pointed out how cartoonish sopranos is to you.
some guy is about to rat on tony and he gets a heart attack?
like that guy said fat geriatric mobsters threatening people?
Mobsters killing people in broad daylight without repercussions?
Its already pointed out to you how goofy sopranos is and you keep insisting its le grounded adult mature drama.

There are unrealistic things on The Sopranos, sure. But as someone who knows about the Mafia and the cartels, BB is still the worse offender. The whole storyline with Gus is just ridiculous. The Tuco twins seem like characters from a comic book. The final season with Walt killing the Nazis and pretty much every other "Heisenberg moment" on the show is corny as hell. I say this again, as someone who watched the show more than once and enjoyed it at the time. There are things that happen on Sopranos that feel contrived as well, but for the most part I would say it's more realistic to its subject matter than BB is. Besides, the primary focus of The Sopranos was never supposed to be the Mafia stuff. Doesn't necessarily excuse it, but still.

Pretty much. Only saying I've read about them/seen webms of them on /gif/. I guess seeing the cartel light someone's face on fire gives you a different perspective on Breaking Bad.

yes. the point is both shows are unrealistic.
both shows have plot conveniences.
both shows have plot holes.
but MOST of the time all of these issues are much more prevalent in the sopranos.
If breaking bad is an unrealistic corny quippy show then sopranos is the same but much worse.

Overall I would say Sopranos accomplished more than BB did on a thematic level. BB is fun to watch, but is there really much of a moral to the story? I was pretty interested in Walt as a character for the first few seasons but by the end I'm not really sure what to take away. Sopranos seems to at least have a vision on what they're trying to say with their story.
reddit is that way ------------------------->
>look up "breaking bad vs sopranos" threads on reddit
>all top comments say sopranos is better
>every breaking bad fan is downvoted
idk bout that one, chief
how do you know where reddit is?
He says, posting a picture of the most useless television character of all time to make his point.
Breakfast kino

true, mostly due to the lack of israelites and italians (jews with good food)
Yeah, hispanics and Black folk are based. MAGA

While I prefer Breaking Bad, the imagery of fat boomers murdering people is very true to the real life mafia
yeah boardwalk is better than sopranos.
Sopranos might be a bit too slow without at least three epic Heisenberg moments® per episode, I know.
