[@cygnustsp]

That second to last visit in the hospital, that's when Tony realized he didn't have to bullshit anymore, Jackie was gone and he's the new boss. People forget that Tony never, ever cared about anyone except himself, everything he did was a lie. This is shown at the very end of the video, Tony tosses in a minimum of dirt and stares as if saying "f you, my turn you prick"

Huge difference between season 1 and 6 Tony. I think Tony genuinely really cared for Jackie Senior and he was probably the only guy Tony at his age then would accept as his boss.

[@Bklyn93]

Jackie was the Boss of their teenaged crew, so Tony was also used to obeying him. He also respected him as a hardcore gangster and he was apparently a fair leader - so this combined with them being best friends - why not? Everything worked out at the end of the day when Jackie ran the show

[@darthsidioustheemperor7976]

The reason for the change, the director didn't like ppl , liking tony, hence why he becomes more deplorable as the series went on, can't remember exactly what he sead but somthing in the lines off, ppl really like him, but he's a mobster he shouldn't be liked , so I've made it where you really see his ugly side more and more to the point you start to hate him, !!!! Again not the actual quote but similar

[@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470]

​​​​​​@@darthsidioustheemperor7976Yeah you can really tell that by Season 6 David Chase really wanted to emphasise how toxic these characters (especially Tony and Christopher) actually are. As well as how miserable the mafia life truly is. It was definitely a necessary direction given how much of the audience completely missed the point of the show beforehand (and somehow still managed to after Season 6 to this day).

[@NickyMetropolis1313]

​@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470 i love David Chase but like many artists he's all over the place. Because he also said he was hurt by people wanting a definitive ending for Tony facedown in his linguini after spending so much time with him. Paraphrasing of course.
