Assertion:
Tony Soprano died at the end of the series finale.

Essay and/or background: The last episode of The Sopranos has sparked much debate and people have strikingly different opinions about what really happened, and whether it was a good ending or a horrible one. To set the scene, at the end, there's a very suspenseful sequence of events with Tony sitting in a restaurant and his daughter trying to park her car outside. Several people look suspicious inside. Finally, Tony looks towards the door and the screen goes black for 10 seconds and then the show's done. Do you think he lived or was killed, and why?
Cruxes...
The top point in support right now is, "There was the conversation in an earlier episode where Tony's brother in law speculated that "you don't even hear it when it happens.""

Chase (creator) hasn't totally ruled out possibility of movie, which would require Tony to be alive!

No, a movie could take place timed before the series finale (like a prequel)

would be pointless to kill him, a real insult to all the fans that invested years in watching

Tony Soprano is a fictional character. He could not have died because he was never alive.

I think this is a silly argument. James Gandolfini certainly didn't die, but Tony Soprano is a character and characters die in stories all the time.
