@Ultimate Cell I'm not completely sold on the casting choices for Paulie and Junior (especially the latter with how perfect of a double they were able to find for the flashbacks in the series), but Michael Gandolfini is the perfect choice to fill his father's boots. The trailer also features some great parallels such as how Dickie tells Tony he'll only be stealing this one time much like how Christopher would always tell himself he'd only do drugs this one more time. I'm not expecting to be blown away by it when writing a prequel is difficult and The Sopranos is very much perfect as a complete series, but I'm still interested in seeing it.
@Keedounan That's probably the most basic reason people like anti-heroes, with it being especially interesting when they contrast someone closer to a standard hero (eg. Char Aznable from Gundam functioning as a great anti-hero with how he contrasts the more typical Amuro Ray or Vegeta being far less merciful than Goku). If only functioning at just that level though, then an anti-hero will only become an edgy protagonist. For a compelling anti-hero such as those examples and other major ones such as Tony Soprano, Walter White, Anakin Skywalker or Guts, establishing what leads to them making moral compromises or going down a dark path is every bit as investing. Moreover, providing the idea they could always sway to a side of true heroism can make an audience even more invested in their arc such as Season 6 of The Sopranos hinting at this for Tony or Berserk showing Guts ultimately succeed in doing this.
@Wǒ dǒngle One of the many great cynical remarks that show why Junior is one of the best Sopranos characters. It's also somewhat tragic in that this is shortly before his decline in memory

@GreatSaiyaman123 Logan's a very solid dark take on the X-Men with its bleak outlook with moments of hope providing a different take on things than the other X-Men films but not being completely removed from the spirit of the franchise with it still relating back to the core theme of the X-Men protecting or doing good to a world that shuns them. Logan himself has a good character arc with him being pulled out of the darkness of inaction through the need to protect a girl that embodies his hope in the world (ie. TLJ Luke done right) and the ending is a great sendoff to Jackman's tenure as Wolverine. There isn't much I can point to as problems within it beyond perhaps the callback to the wstern X-23 watched being a bit on the nose. Some point to the Wolverine clone being a bland villain, but it succeeds in fitting with the core narrative of Logan facing his past. I have heard many detractors say that it's an inferior version of several of the westerns it takes inspiration from, but I'd have to watch them to say how much validity that point has to Logan's value. For now, I'd say it's a solid 8/10.
