Twist: MARLO WAS AVON

[BigMoneyGrip]

You think avon would have let it slide if the ref stood his ground?

Actually yeah.. he told the ref stand up for himself, you can’t let a nikka come up to you on some rah rah shyt..

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

If you want to find a closer comparison to Marlo, it’d have to be Stringer Bell, not Avon. Stringer had Brandon tortured. Stringer ordered Bodie to kill Wallace. Stringer had D’Angelo killed in prison. Stringer had Omar and his grandmother shot at during the Sunday truce.

Avon was no saint, but the show is pretty clear that Marlo represents something worse than him. I don’t see Avon being so petty as to have that security guard murdered for no reason. Avon respected the "rules" of the game in a way that neither Marlo nor Stringer did.

Exactly.. String was a silly nikka.. at the end Avon was still Avon.. String caught them double slugs from a faggit and Muslim

Avon and his people are what you considered a lighter shade of black.

 

[Loose]

Outside of both of them loving power I don't agree that they're alike, avon barely directed anyone to be taken out that was all stringer bs

In real life Marlo would have gotten bodied by the end of season 4

And if he did somehow make it to season 5 he woulda got killed at that last co op meeting

Dude pulled rank on the whole co op while they had him and his people out numbered by at least 5-1

He would have gotten bodied right then and there if not sooner

If you think marlo was Avon you wasn’t watching b .. simple as that

Big difference is Avon had power because of his rep. Marlo had power because people feared him. Respect always outlasts fear.

Avon
Marlo
And randy are all the same. Just at different stages of life

Marlo was just a bytch nikka on top of it. But him and Avon were the same leech. Neither was more saintly or redemptive than the other. They represent the same character - one with redemptive value/context and the other without any such context.

"Neither was more saintly or redemptive than the other. They represent the same character - one with redemptive value/context and the other without any such context."

The two sentences contradict each other.

They dont contradict
Neither INDIVIDUAL has redemptive value in of themselves.
Avon is situated in a redemptive CONTEXT.
