David Chase knows what happens to Tony Soprano and his family after the infamous finale and has thus penned his thoughts in "The Sopranos: The Complete Book," which is excerpted in the upcoming edition of Entertainment Weekly magazine.
In his book, Chase says he wasn't surprised by the angry reaction of "Sopranos" fans who complained the show's finale didn't offer them "closure."
"There was so much more to say than could have been conveyed by an image of Tony facedown in a bowl of onion rings with a bullet in his head. Or, on the other side, taking over the New York Mob," he says.
"The way I see it is that Tony Soprano had been people's alter ego. They had gleefully watched him rob, kill, pillage, lie and cheat. They had cheered him on.
"And then, all of a sudden, they want to see him punished for all that.
"They wanted to see his brains splattered on the wall. I thought that was disgusting, frankly.
"The pathetic thing - to me - was how much they wanted his blood, after cheering him on for eight years."
