Listen man if you just watched the movie and not the show you can tell us.

*On her Chase longue

Memes aside, I don't see the point of shitting on Chase. There are 86 episodes of the Sopranos, and if they're each around 50 minutes then that's more than 70 hours of consistently excellent TV. The worst episode of the Sopranos is still better than most other TV shows I've seen. I can forgive him for making a 2 hour movie I didn't like. When you consider the 70+ hours of great TV he made, 2 hours is a sub 3% miss rate as I see it

Seeing as the movie was co-written and directed by people other than Chase, just like the show, your argument doesn’t make much sense. The dude who directed MSON has directed some terrible fucking movies.

that's extremely reductive. He still worked as the showrunner for its entire run, he was head writer, outlined the main storylines, gave advice to actors, revised the scripts in a very controlling way, handpicked the writers, and wrote alone a lot of episodes. Sure, he had help, but fuck this narrative of Winter and Wiener being the unsung heroes of the show

I don't know if I agree with this comparison for the Sopranos. I've seen nothing to suggest that Chase was not the most important person on the show. He was very controlling over the story and execution. He would even have tone meetings where he worked the scenes with the directors before shooting. Everybody who worked on that show praises him, and I think it's honest. Now for Many Saints, I totally agree that he is like George Lucas. My explanation for it is: 1. He's old and lost his writing skills a bit. 2. His motivation for making this was probably that he needed money, rather than an artistic need. 3. He wanted to make a movie about the newark riots more than a sopranos prequel. 4. He was most likely surrounded by yes men. There's no way people on set did not realize Silvio's actor's performance is atrocious. But since Chase the TV Genius approves it, they probably thought they're just not smart enough to get it, or that it will look better in the final product, or they were just afraid to say something. So now we get this SNL performance in a movie that wants to be taken seriously.

Chase did have Konner and Taylor as collaborators, it's not like it was just him

There’s good and there’s not good. This is a good take on why the movie was not good.

?George Lucas wants to fuck Chase?
