What would a cartoon version of The Sopranos look like?

Gabaghoul?

I feel as though the "freer" drawn medium combined with the darker setting might tempt showrunners to put more of an emphasis on action scenes while straying away from character development. I know you said not actually the Cartoon Sopranos, but to use it as an example I feel like there would've ended up (probably in the later seasons, to up the stakes and make it more mainstream-palatable) being quite a few "big gun fight" scenes. Sopranos was always reserved with action parts, and it showed them quite realistically. There were never Scarface-esque shootouts where the main characters mowed down tons of unnamed mooks. Were a character to be in a firefight, they'd end up either wounded, barely escaping, or dead. Admittedly, that scene where Tony kills the two black hitmen was a bit much, but that's the only scene that comes close to over the top that I can think of. Remember the big rifle Tony never got a chance to use? I can't help but feel a Sopranos cartoon would have had him using that to take out some New York goons near the finale. There'd end up being more "wow this character is a badass" scenes and fewer "wow this character is a real developed person" scenes.

To clarify on what I meant about "freer" : the cost and effort differences between animating an action scene and animating a non-action scene in a cartoon are much smaller than the cost/effort differences between shooting action and non-action scenes in a live action show. To do a "big action scene," a live action show might need to seriously eat into a season's budget, while an animated show wouldn't (unless they had a fairly shit budget).

Good point. I personally don't think that'd be a bad thing because having exaggerated action fights is part of the charm cartoons (such as the new Castlevania) are capable of. So long as the Characterization and human interaction remains good of course.
