    There is a great scene before Jackie gets killed. He is playing chess with the girl, he knocks the pieces over because he realizes he will probably lose, and the dad points out Jackie will never learn by giving up and running off. A metaphor for his whole life.

The nearly empty room, the guy talking on his phone in the back, people using it as an excuse to get out of house arrest, the picture board showing all the potential he had, the cops arresting people at the funeral topped off by his mom's scream. Between the few outbursts of emotion from Meadow and Jackie's mom, the saddest thing was that the few people that showed up didn't really want to be there.

      People like Tony and Jackie Sr. can't really be honest about what they want, they say it's all about their family but I think the show does a good job showing that it's just as much about the lifestyle for these people. Imo the real tragedy is that people like Tony and Jackie Sr can't convince their kids not to go down this path because they're hypocrites. Like you can't at once enjoy all the perks of a job like that and then say it's just a necessity to look after your family, your behavior is showing that you don't really believe that, and so of course your kids won't either when you say otherwise.

      (Read this in Melfi's voice lol)
      It's an interesting study on nature vs nurture and brings to light ideas about morally malleable people at vulnerable points in their life, manipulated by sociopathic psychos into becoming sociopathic psychos through a type of survivalistic necessity. (whew)
      Some of them are bad because they want to be but some are bad because they have to be and they've had to be for so long they can't get out, even if they really wanted to. Even if they did old behavioral patterns and traits manifest again in the new life. Jr with his candy racket for example. (He was a "want to" person.)
      Tony was a "have to" and while he wanted to quit, a mixture of pride and duty kept him tied in. Plus like you said he liked the life. (More pride) But he didn't want that responsibility and obligation for his son. Or Jackie Jr.
      Tony wanted better for his son but also knew AJ wasn't capable. And Tony resents AJ and himself for that failure to be capable, even if he never wanted him to have to resort to that capability. Its a definition of character.
      Tony would be someone else if his father earned a similar wage an honest way. AJ would be the same if Tony earned his wages honestly. Jackie Jr would likely be the same whether his fawtha was connected or not, J.J was an incapable wannabe.

      He was too stupid to see that a hot med student then doc with a great body who's also a rich kid would have made him a social player and looked great in women's eyes. He didn't need to hurt anyone or commit crimes

    But he lacked even the slightest hint of wisdom. He didn't think things through and he chased his ridiculous image of a cool gangster. He chose wrong in every possible situation, no one took him seriously, he was just a nightmare.

    Jackie Jr reminds me of every player character in a role playing game that thinks that since it's a fantasy world there is no repercussions for their actions. He literally died for being a murder hobo.

    Honestly if Jackie would have at least tried in school and failed on his own and not threw his fathers name around all the time, he might have funneled into the MOB naturally when they needed him..
    If he was honest with tony later down the road saying I didn’t do good in school and start out doing small jobs for the family he would have been fine.
    There’s no way Tony would have let him starve or go to waste. Being an Aprile he would have had something to call his own.
    He just jumped the gun like a Matt B and Shaun
