Yeah but it'd be weird and everyone would call it a ripoff because they already did that.

Nope, the mafia is pretty much dead now and the show fits perfectly in the context of immediately pre-and-post-9/11 America.

DUDE HE’S A MAFIA DON BUT HE’S GOT PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES LMAO

damn he yells at his family but he also loves them in the end? everyone acts like a retarded cartoon? based!!!

yeah and it turned out to be the best television show ever made

you have to be fucked in the head to be a mobster in the first place

based

and now we come full circle

Sopranos started right at the end of the mob being relevant (1999), and with its solid start it was able to keep going until 2007. But it’d be pretty dated now, I’m not sure if it’d take off like it did back then

Europe is where it's at these days. For that sort of 'thing'.

technology would also be a huge component to the plot.
texts, apps, facetime, cloud storage, etc.

>Chrissy: ay Tone, you heard about this new "bitcoin" shit?
>Tony: *inhales audibly* Sounds like one big scam
>Chrissy: No shit Tone, but get this I put in 30 G's last December and now I'm up to 100 GRAND
>Tony: Get the fuck outta here.
>Chrissy: Swear on my mother's life Tone. The money's in my bank right now.
>Tony: How's it work?
>Chrissy: It's internet money, the Russians are big into it.
>Tony: *takes bite out of gabagool*

Yeah real entertaining.

So many zoomers ITT

>Silvio: So we had to update our..offerings...at the Bada Bing for the clientele
>Tony: Whaddiya mean "offerings"?
>Silvio: You know, talent.
>Tony: What was wrong with the old girls?
>Silvio: That's the thing Tony, this new generation aren't into the girls so much.
>Tony: AYYY YOOO! I don't want the Bada Bing to be full of fanooks
>Silvio: Nah T. They are girls.
>Tony: Huh?
>Silvio: They call 'em T girls.
>Tony: What's the 't' stand for?
>Silvio: Transgender. They've got dicks Tone. Since I've been using them tips have gone up a shitload.
>Tony: They've got dicks? How can a girl have a dick. It's unnatural!
>*gazes at Chrissy*
>Chrissy: Don't look at me, just because I'm the youngest one here doesn't mean I like dicks.
>Paulie: Not what I heard! Heh Heh Heh.
>Chrissy: THE FUCK DID YOU SAY PAULIE?!?!

Yeah see that just doesn’t work because old mob guys don’t do any of that. 1999 was perfect, and starting anytime past 2010 just wouldn’t work for the characters involved

At that point it becomes an action spy-fantasy though.

>Paulie: a buddy of mine screwed a ladyboy in the war. Yeah, guy turned out to be a full blown fanooch

The FBI would be a lot better at surveilling them as well.
>get warrant
>listen to them through their smartphones without even having an informant

Yes. Cameras and actors still exist so it should be fine

No, because Gandolfini is dead. Who else could possibly be Tony?

No because James Gandolfini died

The question is obviously hypothetical retards

>instead of being a character with depth and flaws and shit, Carmella's just always right and much smarter and better than Tony

>Paulie: He tried to kiss me once. I had to whack him.
>Chrissy: You whacked him off Paulie?
>Paulie: Heh heh heh.

>Carmella's just always right and much smarter and better than Tony
I honestly wouldn't mind this as a mafia wife character. Gangsters are quite evil and often poorly educated.

It's not from my era but should I watch it? Just heard about it now.

Tony get ipad

>shits changed, Tone. We got this new racket called "jailbreaking"

Nope, not with the rampant SJWfaggotry around now. They couldn't even reference a mulignan or a ditsoon.

Gandolfini was such a great actor. You watch The Sopranos again, and there are so many little nuances you pick up from his performance that you didn't get the first time.

Chrissy get iPad
Vito get Grindr
Paulie get bitcoin
Tony get 4K TV
AJ get Twitter
Meadow get Tinder
Carmella get Facebook

BrBa is better, only pseuds denying that

>phoneposters aren't ruining Yea Forums

Both are comfykino.

>Chris: Ay tone, you need a lift?
>Tony: Nah, I got one of ubers.
>Chris' car pulls up
>Chris: Hey what the-
>Paulie looks out from the window
>Paulie: "heh heh, ay ton'. I'm a goober driver"

No. The Sopranos was created on the right moment at the right place.

>Vito's lewd gay pics get leaked on the cloud a la The Fappening.
Kino.

>you lived long enough to see this board turn on The Wire and now The Sopranos

Yeah, but only with a 'look at these backward white scumbags' angle. Which isn't entirely absent in the series itself.

This.
Sopranos is still GOAT.

I'm still amazed by how good this scene is. Quite possibly the best television performance in history.
>Because she's JEALOUS

heh heh
OHHHHHHHH
heh heh

CHRIS: then the girl calls him onii-chan. that means he's her brother, right?

PAULIE: the girl's bangin her brother?
SILVIO: naww
TONY: who's bangin her brother
PAULIE: girl in chrissy's comic book
SILVIO: it's a manga, and he ain't her brother. it's a honorific

TONY: lemme look at that
SILVIO: wrong way, tone. ya read it back to front, right to left
TONY: right to left, up is down, this broad's bangin her brother *chuckles* the fuck is wrong with japan

PAULIE: *points with cig* whys the guy's nose bleedin
SILVIO: *shrugs* artistic shorthand. means he's pitchin a tent
ALL: OHHHHHH

TONY: you got more of these chrissy
CHRIS: i got one where a girl's head gets cut off. girl grows a new head, head grows a new girl
TONY: what the fuck
CHRIS: hand on the fuckin bible tone
PAULIE: ehhhh. that's unhealthy
SILVIO: it's tomie

FURIO: in italy we do not read these things

CARMELA: what is that
TONY: crazy comic book. from Japan
CARM: ugh. looks like the smut ya son watches on that laptop computer
TONY: ohh, he's MY son when he's watchin hentai?

Which means it's only a couple years until Breaking Bad becomes respected on here. It honestly can't happen fast enough.

>Italians
>white

>Your mutha told you what I said about your fahthas psoriasis? I was tryna be honest with him!

I loved browsing the BrBa threads.
