** First of all, Junior's attempt to kill him forced Tony to burn down the original Vesuvio in order to protect Artie's business, which nearly destroyed their friendship.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Downplayed - Tony mentions him being dead for several years in Season 6 premiere, which implies that Junior still killed him at some point, although Little Pussy could've died for different reasons.

Unlike that film, where C ultimately gets a happy ending after rejecting a criminal lifestyle in favor of an honest life, Matthew insists on making a name for himself as a criminal and it ends very badly for him.

* EvilCounterpart: To AJ. Both are the sons of powerful mob bosses who share their first name and are regularly shown as spoiled, selfish and lazy. But while AJ knows full well he isn't suited to the life and never tries to act otherwise nor does he try to use Tony's name for clout, Jackie struts around like he's a made man based solely on his father's name and his attempts to be a tough guy are laughable before they become tragic. And while AJ never does anything especially bad, save some of his actions with the two Jasons in the final season, Jackie's wannabe gangster act and attempted robbery ends up getting Sunshine and his own friends killed before resulting in his own death.
