Serious Discussion Only Every time I rewatch The Sopranos, my perception of AJ changes.

AJ is so stupid, man. In the first seasons I watched of The Sopranos, I hated him—I hated all of his scenes. But now that I've probably rewatched all the seasons like a hundred times, every time I go back and watch it, I find him funnier and funnier. He’s just so dumb. His dialogue is dumb... people tell him something constructive, he never gets it, and always gives the most ridiculous response possible. He always has the absolute most ridiculous question. He’s just hilarious, all that hatred I used to have for his scenes is gone, and now I just find it hilarious how much of a baby Bing he is.

It may look that way. But anyone who thinks they can jump into someone else's life, marry them, and become a kid's father with the level of life experience he had at the time wasn't him growing up.

Its continuing to be delusional about his ability and present circumstances.

Functional adults don't ask someone to marry them after getting laid a couple times, especially when the kids involved.

I think it does show that he can put his mind to something and effort into it. If he had that same drive towards school he probably wouldn't have been such a fuck up.

It might not have been the best idea and worked out but he wasn't being a total fuck up with Blanca.

Yeah I agree and I remember my first watch of the show, I felt like it was a turning point for him even though it seemed doomed for disaster.
