Who was the most complex character on the Wire?

[jay211]

A little off topic, but I loved how my nikka Slim Charles held it down for Joe by offing Cheese.

 

[The Jewnited States]

kima

 

[SCORCH]

Ziggy and D'Angelo.

He was the least interesting Sobotka.

 

[Anbesa]

Michael was pretty complex to me

 

[feelosofer]

Michael was pretty complex to me

This.

 

[Arcavian]

Stringer is the most complex, Carvers evolution is pretty slept on also

 

[jay211]

Ya Carver had a great evolution. Loved his arc in season 4.

 

[The Electric Lady]

He was the least interesting Sobotka.

Didn't say I like Ziggy. But he and Dee are of the same coin. Ziggy is a complex character. An annoying one, but complex. Frank and Zig's cousin are pretty simple. But Zig is deep.

Omar

Clay Davis

Lester

Snitchin ass Randy

 

[JayYoung314]

People be hatin on lester because he comes off to "shaft" like, but he was always the most complicated character honestly.

Brother Mouzone

 

[Wise]

Stringer.

Lives in a upscale condo, yet eats off low-income environment.

Went to pursue a legit lifestyle with the condos, yet was still deep in the game.

Kept a street aura and wanted his people to be loyal, yet he he turned on his best friend.

Closest to him would be McNulty

I think a better question would be "Who had the most flaws on the show"?

 

[Jax]

Marlo no doubt. Then Stringer and Omar.
I still can't cope with my nikka Stringa dead he had so much to give.

 

[PIFF101]

Stringer was the complex one at the get. Juggling the game and the business side. Mcnulty was lead to believe by the viewers that he was, but he soon reverted to his old ways. Sabotka was second. Carver, with his approach of talking to dealers instead of doing it the Western way and actually trying to not book Namand in baby bookings is third. Carver also tried to make Randy safe.

Ziggy was incredibly annoying which is testament to how well his character was written and the actor himself but there was nothing complex about him. He was an idiot.
