I don't know why people keep comparing Marlo and Avon. Marlo hadn't been in the game nearly as long enough to be considered a legend in the streets. He was still building. He was also part of the new generation. Everyone in the co-op was old school.
Anybody recall how old Marlo was?
The fact he had a mill at such a young age made him a legend, it's just he strived for it really hard, whereas Omar and Avon had it come to them

"what if he comes after my family?".
you forgot about the card game robbery

he got killed for giving too much back talk. he didn't know who marlo was. he played himself by staring at marlo like he was going to steal something so marlo wanted to let him know he wasn't shyt by taking two pieces of candy.
Marlo would have found that dude later on and killed him for being an annoyance
You saying Avon was worse?
