SOVL = The Character
>>219368569my name = my name
>>219368569>a hardworking, dependable albeit low level worker is neglected and mismanaged by a greedy, incompetent organization before being killedMany such cases
>>219368569Bodie and Ziggy open lunch truck together, hilarity ensues
>>219368569He couldn't make the correct decision at the end and was too loyal to some shit that doesn't even matter. Sad.
>>219368569Massive fucking balls to approach a street boss on the street. Try that shit irl and the next week your boys will be attending your funeral
>>219368767> approach a street boss on the streetWhere else could you approach a street boss but the street?
Bodie just smart enough to be a dumb fuck. Boy couldn't think past his lil bitch ass corner
>>219368789Paper planes are the favoured way to send messages these days. You stand on a nearby roof and throw it to them with a burner number on it and go from there. Getting physically close to your enemy is not a thing that happens any more
>watch The Wire>sudden urge to wear baggy jeans and clean white AF1s
>>219368847The fact that he never tried his own thing was crazy to me
Nigs don't have souls my dude
>>219368591>spend 2 weeks in jail>nobody remembers him
>>219368929>baltimore PIU (pigeon inception unit)
>>219369133I guess he just got comfortable being a pawn
>>219369133He was kinda too retarded for that
>gets shot by an 8th grader
>>219372710Cant be top dog forever
>>219368591>nobody remembers him>they all speak about the dreaded Omar>kwab
Marlow is when the writing fell off>hey this guy is taking over and doesn't respect the co-op>he hangs out in this courtyard>send a few bangers in there and pop his assProblem solved
>>219372895David Simon was shoving in like 60 years of drug trafficking in Baltimore into 5 seasons. He had to show that by the last season these niggas were wild and had no respect or rules to bring it into accurately depicting the modern drug trade. But if he had the whole coop arrested or killed it would’ve come off as tacky.
I thought Season 5 was solid. The only downside is the boring newspaper subplot, I didn't hate the serial killer stuff. I think it was a natural evolution of McNulty's character, to be self-destructive to this degree. Marlo vs Omar plotline alone makes it worth watching.
>>219374027The newspaper plot would’ve been kino if they focused on it long enough to give us a reason to care about any of them.
>>219368847hes a cunning brute. he would have been just fine if stringer was still kicking but he hitched his wagon to the wrong horse. poot was the intelligent one, kept a low profile and got the girls, got out while he was ahead.
>>219375076It’s very Darwinian. Pooh definitely has some kids whose names he don’t remember
>>219368645What show did you watch? He was a faggot who killed friends and tortured family for no fucking reason and never made a dollar out of it. BY CHOICE no less. He wasn't forced.
>>219374027The McNulty stuff after season 1 is garbage. They knew he was the best character and wanted to shit on him constantly. Got old in season 1, was unbearable in season 2.
>>219375221Bullshit. S4 McNulty was chill
>>219375369Maybe, I forget what s4 he was up to. I wanted to strangle his fucking wife by season 2. I just remember the show constantly couldn't make up its fucking mind if they wanted him to be the lead or not, and finally end with him being a full out retard.He was the only important character in 5 seasons besides Stringer.
>>219368789usually you'd probably have to set up a meet or have someone higher up do it. bodie was just running a corner at walked right up on marlo which took huge balls. marlo still told him to fuck off though
>>219375458The show had no lead. What you're trying to say is whether they wanted to make McNulty likable or not
>>219375660They clearly didn't based on 5 seasons of shitting on the guy. He was one of the only people on the show I could fucking stand other than the DUI bullshit.
>>219368569
>>219375747How the fuck did he do that?
>>219375689I guess they were afraid that McNulty would always steal the scene in a black cast-dominant show
>>219375774Well, they were right on that one because he did. He was the most interesting part of anything going on generally. Him and Stringer are the only two character that feel like they ever have functioning brains even though that is short lived on and off throughout the show.The niggers in general are the worst part of the wire. People shit on season 2 at the docks but I found the dockworkers far more interesting and wish they would've done more with them and less with fucking ziggy. They still had to force nonstop nog behavior in that season on top of everything else.>HEY DID YOU KNOW NIGGERS HAVE GANGS AND SELL DRUGSshit man no way thats crazy
>>219375778>this scene was filmed 30 years ago
>>219375826What about Bunk? He was cool. I love the scene when he chewed out Omar for the shootout in S3
>>219375871I liked bunk but he was constantly shifting between solid cop and drunk fucking retard. I don't get down with drunk driving bullshit so it is hard to have much love for him or jimmy or a lot of the other cops in the show. That shit is a reason to slit a throat in my eyes.It is hard to take your chewing out of omar seriously when you were hitting curbs 6 hours before.
>>219372844That's why the ending is so kino, he realizes the entire point of the game, it's not to win it, but to stay in it.
1 > 5 > 2 > 3 > 4in terms of intro song ofc.
>>219375923>drunk fucking retardI can only remember two instances of that:>Bunk burning his clothes when he was a his side chick's house>Bunk puking into a trash can in S2Scenes with him drinking at the bar and on the rail tracks don't count
>>219376014The entire point of "the game" is that it is jewish nonsense you should never be involved in. With retarded standards held by niggers who have no standards for themselves. Omar is a perfect example of the cowardly pedophilic bullshit that goes on in those spaces.I love how Omar still gets championed as this great character when he was touching on little kids, grooming faggots, and generally being a piece of trash before he ever robbed a single drug stash.>still no idea what the fuck they thought they were doing with him being so obsessed with touching and lusting after little kids openly on the show
>>219376059>Scenes with him drinking at the bar and on the rail tracks don't count>Driving drunk from the bar when you can't speak and function and end up standing in front of train tracks with a train coming isn't driving drunkoh ok.The cops on the wire are all shown to be dangerous fucking drunks multiple times. Even wonderful supercop nigger freed-mon is shown drinking to excess more than once.Hell one of the big plot points of s1 was the three retards going out to the towers drunk and making a fool out of themselves (and removing a nigger's eyeball)
>>219376091I think you need to take your meds mate.
>>219376053Blind boys of Alabama really are the goat. Better than even the Tom Waits one
>>219376091>Michael >little kidsI’d say add it to the list but it’s probably on there already
>>219376421Yes yes, selling drugs is noble and great, you've convinced me Rabbi.>>219376466It really was weird how many scenes are just Omar looking at some baby in a crackhead's arms for way too long. Or touching a kid weirdly. Or just being around young boys and kids in general. If it was one scene you could see it as "oh he's thinking about how shit his childhood was" but nope, weirdo pedophile.
>>219368569SURELY you meant my nigga cutty
>>219376554In a just world his wife would've been beaten to death in season 2.
>>219376554Real.For me? It's Cutty, Bubbles, and Prez.
>>219376640>BubblesI hate that fucking moon cricket. Its all in the game huh you fucking useless junkie faggot?
>>219376537He’d probably go as low as 11 irl but. I think the scenes with babies are more to show he’s “got a heart of gold” because the writers wanted us to see him as some kind of robinhood. And most pedophiles who go for prepubescent kids aren’t also into literal babies, that’s a separate group of pedophilia. But he obviously wasn’t written or intended to be seen that way so the point is moot.
>>219376680Bullshit. He wouldn't be touching on kids and openly lusting after babies if he was supposed to have a "heart of gold" people just ignore it because faggots are great and he's so special!He was grooming them, he groomed more than one young man on the show and turned them into his bitch/helper. He never goes after adult looking guys and specifically talks about how he doesn't want to hear "dirty words" out of their clean mouths. You like omar so you want to play pretend. Go back and watch and try to ignore it.>no no bro he's just robin hood that is why he's touching the cheek longingly of a toddlerkek
>>219376767you can like kids in an avuncular way and like youthful adults in sexual way. It’s not impossible unless your brain is overflowing with cum.The concept of “grooming” wasn’t even a thing in the public zeitgeist until 8 or 9 years ago. The writers wouldn’t be so subtle either. Given the nigger that actually touches kids gets beaten to death.
>>219375174He definitely killed people but I don't recall him torturing anyone. He was blindly loyal to his bosses, they did not have the same loyalty to him; he was just a tool to obtain profit and nothing more
>>219375850>it's real
>>219376989Anon was likely talking about psychological “torture” that he put his grandma through
>>219368569thought this was bashir for a secondkek
>>219375076Poot is now in the suburbs with a wagie job trying to scare his teenage kids about the shit he saw growing up in Baltimore in the 2000s
The chair don't recognize yo ass
>>219376947Oh I agree you can, which is why it was weird they KEPT SHOWING HIM DOING IT multiple times. If it was a one off thing and he wasn't lusting after young men on top of it, whatever.>no no no one knew about grooming back then!kek sometimes I wish I was this clueless.>>219376989Oh he was a tool alright. Yeah he didn't beat that white guy to near death and leave him with a colostomy bag for not even robbing them in season 1. But that wasn't torture right? Ok. People get it confused because they like the character which is fine but people have to stop pretending like these weren't ALL assholes.Omar was a gay pedophile, piece of trash who deserved no sympathy.The cops are mostly drunk faggots who care more about their "spot" than solving a crime.The gangbangers are all faggots who can't see 1 foot in front of their faces outside of Stringer who still goes full retard all the time despite his college business courses.There really isn't a "main character" on the wire that is redeemable in any way beyond specific actions and even then, no.>>219377039Not what I was talking about but that doesn't even factor in for anyone, the damage these creatures do to their families. All of them not even just the bangers.
>>219372895Prop Joe kept the co-op off Marlo because he felt he could rein him in. By the time Marlo recruited Cheese and killed Joe it was already too late for anyone else in the co-op to do anything about him.
>>219377157>Cheese>when a character should last 1 ep tops but he's shoved into shit he has no business being involved in.>but but le funny rapper guy!he's fucking terrible. Should stick to shit like How High which was also way beyond his skills.
>>219377157Avon and Stringer had one season of overlap with Marlow, they could and should have dealt with him
