I cant get over how much of a dusty idiot Avon Barksdale was

I'm still alive and got the opps on my team in prison while you laying in a dusty building with holes in your chest

Avon has the club, that was all he needed. String inadvertently fukked that up.
Omar was the thorn in them boys side. Stringer dropped the ball on Omar a couple of times. Get rid of Omar early, without displaying his lover's body like that, leave Wallace be and Marlo doesn't get a foothold.

You talking Woulda Coulda Shoulda

Let’s talk about the show as it occurred

Franklin got caught slipping by a crack head bytch

Before he was Malcolm he was Detroit Red

He's still young in the game,making power moves Avon and Stringer wasn't making until their 30's

When they make that Wire Prequel that you just know is coming,we will get to see how Avon and Stringer was messing up early on. Might even get a LGBT remix about their relationship. Matter of fact ,lets just say right now that prequel won't be canon in advance

Nostalgia is undefeated.

Some of us like documentaries,some of us like imagery,blockbuster suspense,Oscar worthy acting,weekly cinema

As realistic as The Wire tries to be,its too unrealeastic. I'm of the belief you should pick one.

Snowfall is very unrealistic
A 19 year old black kid from South Central is in bed with a rogue CIA agent

We need a thread in the film room calling out Snowfall on its bullshyt

Avon was a small minded chump who lacked vision. When Stringer died, I stopped watching The Wire. Stringer’s weakness was his loyalty to Avon. He should have had him killed.

You missed the best season of the show.

As it occurred? String was responsible for almost every L the crew took and is dead. Avon still making power moves behind the wall.

Spin that how you want.

Was Avon not getting his ass kicked by Marlo? You seem to think pointing out String's shortcomings somehow changes that Avon wasn't the block captain he thought when it came to Marlo

String was in over his head
Avon was taking Ls to Marlo left & right

Avon put in work on Marlo though and would've ended Marlo's chapter if Stringer wasn't such a hoe.

Stringer was the one who made them look weak and made Marlo go harder at them

Marlo had his crew beat up a Barksdale crew ran them off the block and Stringer ain't do shyt



Stringer's response was to try and talk a truce and that co-op shyt with Marlo. All Marlo did was tell Chris to have they people tool up for war. Marlo saw them dudes as weak cause of Stringer

I'll entertain a more supported viewpoint if you can provide one. The crew was weakened and crippled by Strings antics and by Omar. Marlo made it to game 7 based off injuries, not by outmaneuvering avon. Marlowe's only W came from murking the crash test dummies. Omar dealt more damage than that.

All I know is Avon thought it was a good idea to send a nikka who was a reformed gangsta out to war and they got sent packing
All I know is Avon thought everybody was a simp for p*ssy and got his plan folded up when Marlo saw the play coming from a mile away

plenty of blame to go around

 

[Maximus Rex]

Marlo

Avon's final form

 

[H.I.M.]

Thread is rafters material.

Marlo

Avon's final form

technically. he's a combo of both. which is why he won.
