Stringer Bell (The Wire) Or Ghost (Power)

[DaRealness]

Stringer Bell.

It's hilarious how Ghost was on some John Wick assassin shyt killing cartel and other criminal bosses while half the criminal world and the FBI knew who he was (with a totally reckless and psychotic sidekick), but at the same time still managed to run for office and have his life on TV like it was nothing. Dude would murder someone, put on a suit and be in front of the cameras like Batman or some shyt.

Obviously Stringer's character is waaaay more realistic in every way so I'm gonna have to go with him.

String...too smart for the streets, too slow to politic, he was caught between two worlds...

Ghost destroyed his entire empire over some old latina p*ssy....

Obviously Stringer but that’s cuz of the quality of writing. Ghost would’ve been more memorable with equally level scripts.

This. The wire writing (everything really)>>>>>>>>>>>power.

Stringer.

Would have killed his childhood crush the first season

The back and forth between her and Ghost made me not take him seriously

Stringer never really it made it out the streets the way Ghost did even tho Ghost had infinitely self generated chance to leave the street shyt alone for good.

there was no reason Ghost and his family to even be in the city. Dude shoulda tucked them away in Westchester and kept a lil hotel suite for himself downtown.

Stringer, meanwhile was a damn snitch, smashed his locked up homie’s baby moms and spent the whole series playing Tom and Jerry with the cops and Omar.

I stopped watching power around season 4

Ghost was a superhero. Stringer was basically the real life version of Ghost. Realism doesn't necessarily make for a better character though. It's just not possible to be all the things that Ghost was but that's what makes the character special, and yes...frustrating. He really made the show, while Stringer was really a supporting player for most of his run and the show was clearly way bigger than him.

I just finished a rewatch of The Wire, and Power is semi fresh in my mind still…

Stringer was actually kinda dumb. Ghost was damn near a genius. Ghost actually was making it out of the drug game and everyone pulled him back in. Stringer was delusional as fukk.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Ghost was a weak ass sucka for love nikka that stayed putting his family in danger

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Stringer Bell wouldn't have got caught up on p*ssy

He was still doing good post that. Moving up to high ranking official. He just couldn’t see his end coming the way it did. No one could
