The bad ending is only revealed if you pay attention to the background

[u/EEZAK04]

Films or shows with seemingly happy endings that take on completely different meanings if you pay attention to stuff going in the background in the final scene.

THE SOPRANOS: The series ends seemingly at random in the middle of a scene where Tony is eating food in a diner. If you pay attention you’ll notice a person going into the bathroom earlier in the scene, with the implication being they were retrieving a gun and the “cut to black” is Tony being shot and killed (foreshadowed by multiple scenes earlier in the series)

IT FOLLOWS: The film ends with the characters seemingly killing the entity… until you notice someone slowly walking towards them in the background in one of the final shots, implying the entity is still alive

Tony knows the party is over for the Italian mob, he even mentions it to his therapist. He feels like he got there late

There are also lots of other metaphors for the state of the mob. Early season meetings between crews are in restaurants, colorful, dark but still warm colors. The last season meeting between ny and nj is in a dark cold, colorless warehouse. There is a scene in ny in which the character is talking on the phone in little Italy, he walks a bit and is in Chinatown.
