Breaking Bad was better than The Sopranos. Breaking Bad was actually suspenseful and dramatic, Sopranos felt like a soap opera most of the time.
Bryan Cranstons character had more range, he went from a meek school teacher to a sociopath drug lord meanwhile James Gandolfini played just played an insecure mob boss who had an occasional panic attack/dreams and cried sometimes if an animal got hurt.
Breaking bad vs Sopranos
Please go back reddit
Agree with everything
Sopranos fully developed almost every character in the show, everyone had an arc and the story had more deeply affecting themes than Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad only really developed Walter and Jesse. Breaking Bad is a great show but the Sopranos is the best show of all time, Breaking Bad wouldn't even exist without The Sopranos. The Sopranos is like a literary-fiction novel while Breaking Bad is like a New York's Bestseller's page-turner. You have shit taste.

Good in its entirety

Reddit garbage. Barely tolerable during S1. everything afterwards is shit and unwatchable
I watched a marathon of BB on some network. I got interested, but then it fell flat and I stopped caring and really didn't want to continue watching whole episodes that barely had any effect on the story. Soprano said had those kinds of episodes as season filler and character explorations but there was never three or four of those in a row. Sopranos also kept me interested in what was going to happen next. When things seemed to smooth out, something fucked up happened and there was always tension. They're both watchable shows but Sopranos comes out on top. There's more going on, bigger stakes etc. Soprano was born and raised a piece of shit. Chase makes that clear in the first season. He dies even more of a piece of shit. That was the point of the show.
Better Call Saul is better than both of them, it’s more subtle than BrBa but just as fun.
>Better Call Saul is better than both of them
Yikes
Too bad nothing happens in Better Call Saul. I finished first season and I cannot even remember anything of it: nothing seems to happen in it
The people in The Sopranos feel real. Like real human beings, the way they talk, act, think. The characters in Breaking Bad are actors in a play, they don't feel like human beings in the same way that they do in The Sopranos. That's why The Sopranos is superior, everything stems from that.
I know it's the easy joke that nothing happens in the show, but I unironically think it would be better if it focused solely on Jimmy rather than splitting the time between Jimmy and Mike. Mike could still be a supporting character, but all of the Mike stuff just feels like some producer said the lawyer stuff was too boring and they needed to spice it up
BB was a much more traditional tragedy structure so redditors like it since it’s easy to analyse and feel smart
Sopranos is a nuanced character study, subtle but with a lot to discover on rewatching
Furthermore
This is the objective answer to all of Vito's questions and enigmas. Please refrain from ever discussing them like the pleb ignorants you are:
>Was Vito gay?
"No!"
>then why suck the guy's cock?
It was a joke
>why did he he make such a homossexual joke?
Because of the medication
>what does the medication have to do with it?
It changes a mans sense of humour
>was he still under the effects of the medication when he ran away?
Yes
>was living with the fireman a joke?
Yes
>why did he leave the fireman and the happiness he had found, even knowing Phil wanted his ass dead?
Because the effects of the medication wore off
>how did Vito sneak behind Jackie Jr and "nothing personalled" him?
Objects of large mass can collapse upon themselves, create black holes and teleport themselves in wormholes. Vito was a man of large mass
>did Vito also teleport the car and the driver?
Yes
>Could Vito have teleported himself to another place when his jokes were found out?
No, the medication made him lose too much mass
>how did Vito kill Jackie Jr with a toy gun?
He didn't, Jackie had a collapsed lung, as we can see by the snow already having blood when he falls, and Vito took the credit for it. Lots of luck
>why does the scene where Vito threatens Finn DeTrollio look like bad CGI?
Objects of large mass, such as Vito, can deform their surroundings due to excerting a stronger force of gravity
>was Finn really his arch nemesis?
Yes. Thin. Kind of tall. Looks like Daniel Day Lewis' son. Couldn't take a joke
>would Vito kill him in the Yankees' game?
No, he just wanted to make a new friend, and share some jokes
>why did Phil want Vito's death so much?
Because he was a closeted faggot
>wasn't it all a joke?
No, he wasn't fat, so he wasn't on medication

Please tell me it's a copy pasta and you did not just type this
I agree. Breaking Bad was pretty good all the way through except for the disappointing ending. Sopranos got really repetitive in the later seasons so much so that the writing staff seemed tired and had to bail on a lot of storylines that they developed earlier like Tony's depression and PTSD.
I hate this versus crap because it acts like you can only have one or the other and preference is an objective measurement of a show being good or bad. Both were great, and I like the different approaches each show took
Are you the same guy who's made several threads asking why The Sopranos is better than Breaking Bad lately or did some hipster YouTuber just spout a new opinion for kiddies to follow or something? How is this even a debate? It's like comparing 2001 to The Martian - except the writers of The Martian probably had an idea where they were going and didn't make it up as they went along.
I see your point but the therapist thing is almost classic theater in a modern setting
>Simple scene with two characters dominated by dialogue to reveal something about themselves or the plot
>and cried sometimes if an animal got hurt.
IT WAS JUST A HOOOOOARSE (it was not my jockey she was carrying)
I wish the zoomer contrarians would go after The Sopranos more instead of Breaking Bad. Both are amazing shows but Breaking Bad cops a lot of flak here due to being cheaper and more recent
The redditor outs himself again
I cared about every character in The Sopranos, because it was well written and the characters felt human. For the last four seasons of BB I didn't give a fuck about any character because they were not written as human. Jesse is one of the two MCs and by the end of the show I didn't care if he lived or died. Love, care, time, and attention went into The Sopranos, and you can taste it when you watch it. From the blandness of Breaking Bad (though it was enjoyable for the first few seasons despite this) it's fairly obvious that no one involved gave a fuck about any of its characters and put the storyline together as they were going along. I enjoyed Breaking Bad (for the most part) when I watched it but I have never watched it since and probably won't again. I've rewatched The Sopranos every year since it aired.
Also, Gandolfini WAS Tony Soprano. Cranston was playing a character. You can suck off his range all you want, but he rarely felt like a real person, which is less Cranston's fault than the writers'.
breaking bad has zero rewatchability. i watch the sopranos every year
Why would you even compare thou ? They have barely anything in common.
Well time to watch the Sopranos. I will post the results at some point later
Watch it user
MOM, CHECK THIS OUT, I SAID IT AGAIN. REDDIT! REDDIT! REDDIT!
said no one ever
>The Sopranos is like a literary-fiction novel while Breaking Bad is like a New York's Bestseller's page-turner.
That description was so apt I googled it to see if it was pasta I wasn’t familiar with.
Breaking Bad is better than The Sopranos though
Sopranos might be better, but BrBa still had a bigger impact on me
I like the way you type and I agree but it's bullshit when someone tries to lord a show's seniority like an argument
>Breaking Bad wouldn't even exist without The Sopranos
What an obnoxious fucking claim to make
They both strive to do different things an they both excell in their fields. I personally think that the sopranos is much better. BB gives an amazing wholesome powerful emotional Rollercoaster with extreme points. It's, theater, a tragedy, storytelling at its finest.
Sopranos on the the hand portray jersey and Italian American culture, and the nuisances of life. It feels more like real life than any other show, so much is ambiguous and given to us in a way that mirror real life. Just because the acting in BB is extreme and powerful, it doesn't make it better than the subtle and daily life of Sopranos. I argue Carmella breakdowns trumps anything in BB.
Based someone with some goddamn taste

It's assumed the viewer doesn't have ADHD when they make shows
