Some people pointed out that Tony is a regular guy and while that is true, that doesn't mean he would be boring. Now there are some things I wanted to cover. Its influence and legacy cannot be overstated enough, it is the standard for a realistic drama show. Even if you haven't watched the show, chances are you've seen some clips from it, or you've heard people praising it. It's a show synonymous with HBO, it received awards, and it's held in high regard. When I was putting together the list I was thinking of what could be the next HBO show after Game of Thrones to get a character? And my mind went straight to The Sopranos. Since I did put Tony Soprano in my top 10 most likely MultiVersus candidates article, I feel obligated to help make the case for him. I originally thought The Sopranos was a musical based on the title

Part of the appeal of this game is seeing the craziest characters crossover and seeing one of HBO's icons and a character who defined "prestige" TV make it in is super appealing to me. I love it when super out-there choices get into a game and this is one that would not only raise eyebrows but also make for some great big-body hard-hitting moves. He's such an out-there choice with huge name value, and the idea of a mob boss character archetype could be a blast moveset-wise.
Tony Soprano is one of those names that as soon as he entered the conversation I knew I wanted him in. I know it's about tough-as-nails gangsters and I know Tony himself is the patriarch of the family. I know how influential this show was and still is. I'll be honest, I've never seen The Sopranos, but also that doesn't really matter to me. Honestly though, I don't think they'd care if they settled on the idea.I just don't know if they WOULD settle on the idea. Game of Thrones at least is a fantasy series, rather than a serious drama. I think the only thing stopping him is whether a more realistic crime boss character is one they'd go for instead of grabbing someone like The Penguin from DC. I think if WB wants to reach past Game of Thrones to get some of their most famous HBO icons, Tony would be the guy they wanna get. The ending of the show is hotly debated to this day, some seeing it as genius and some as laughable, with tons of parodies even if you don't realize that's what they're parodying. Without The Sopranos we wouldn't have Game of Thrones, HBO wouldn't be seen as the place to watch mature and hard-hitting dramas, and WB knows this because they're always advertising HBO with The Sopranos. So, The Sopranos is THE "prestige" television show.
Noms: Paul Atreides x10 (c'mon buddy I need you to sandwalk into that top 7) So sure, bring Jersey's Number One to the multiverse. Tony is an incredible character with amazing depth and humanity despite being, at his core, a bad person. The Sopranos is considered one of the greatest shows ever made, and for a reason. And with cosmetics they can probably include both.Īlso he shows us in Space Jam 2 so that adds a lot of points to him Yet James' adult take on the character remains the most iconic and acclaimed so I imagine they'd go for that one (unless the rumors of a prequel show starring Michael do pan out, in which case young Tony would likely be included in a nice bit of synergy). James Gandolfini unfortunately passed away and his son Michael played the role in a prequel movie. Second, the question of how he'll be portrayed. To any kid playing he's just a fat gangster stereotype without delving further. First, he can just not curse, and without that I don't think his inclusion would ruffle any feathers. Plainly speaking, being a mature show doesn't necessarily hinder it, and being at the front of the pack likely helps Tony as even if there's a small number he'll be chosen.Īs for how he would be included, a couple of things. If MultiVersus is Smash meets Fortnite then they're going after the player base of both, and the average Smash (and platform fighter) fan is probably in their 20s to 30s. You want diversity in what's being promoted, you want to show there's something for everyone, and that includes adults who want shows for their audience (that don't include dragons and zombies, thank you very much). In that sense, while Arya and GoT are already there for team HBO, the spirit of it still isn't repped and no one does that better than Tony.Īlso consider the goal of this game: to promote HBO Max. The Sopranos is HBO's "brand": a prestige, grounded adult drama dealing with real people in real situations. While Game of Thrones surpassed The Sopranos in cultural impact and iconicness, the latter remains the most emblematic show of the service.
