If you're white and you go on about how "realistic" this show is, fucking end yourself.
Why?
Inb4 chess scene anon autism
thread like a forty degree day...
>>220909327Idk the blacks in the show seems generally violent, impulsive and stupid. So I’d say it’s realistic for the most part.
I found it viscerally realistic before this scene. Don't know why they would include such a ridiculous moment in an otherwise honest depiction of the cruel corruption that had undertaken Baltimore. I'm Canadian btw.
Just go look at any blue city run by these same pieces of shit, it's pretty realistic, or, if anything, not realistic enough.
>>220909327Make me.
>>220909327no one says it's realisticit's literally the definition of "for white people about black people"
>>220909327I mean what's not realistic about it? It definitely takes leaps but the message is clear. The system is fucked and will continue to get worse. Look at our country. >>220910096Is this scene more ridiculous than McNulty acting as a British guy and fucking 2 hoes? This scene isn't even unrealistic, she looks like a slutty chick who picks up dudes for sex what's the problem?
>>220910097I started a rewatch recently and forgot even the black cops call the criminals niggers. Based show. >>220910128Black people loved this show too
>>220910128There are very few black people worth watching - their culture is disgusting and outdated for thousands and thousands of years. They can't even pull up their pants properly. Why would Whites want to watch them in their natural state? Not worth the cotton, or well, anything. Thank goodness for Margaret Sanger, but even her plan wasn't enough.
>>220909327as someone who was using and selling drugs in the mid 2010s, this show was real enough and even helped me out from being completely fucked by the law. mostly how they portrayed the snitches like bubbles and going undercover themselves, being able to read text messages and call logs and bullet board a string of acomplices and the use of stealth survillance from afaranything other than that i knew was fictional bullshit but how some of the street cops acted in the show loosely mirrored the actual war on drugs at the time.also the main take away from the show was real which was that the local, state and federal government profitted off the war and took active measure to even help and fund it from the shadows. they created and kept fueling fire then taxed us to put it out but never really did
>>220909327We can just have a Wire thread without a ragebait OP.
>>220910255Incels literally can't conceive of people having sex.
Everyone knows The Shield is true whyte man kino.
>>220910285>why are some people more curious than me? autists really should have to get licenses to use the internet desu
>>220910468It's either>N-or>the Sopranos was betterPick your poison, anon.
>>220909327I'm White and I know it's not realistic because they made Dumfries, Virginia look like some country town when it's just a boring suburb with ghetto neighborhoods outside Quantico. Sad for the oldest continuously chartered town in the state.
>PANDEMIC!
>>220910504Never saw it, tell me more.
>>220909327If the show was just full of ignorant niggas and ignorant coppers it would be depressing as fuck. Getting bamboozled all the time by corrupt politicians, CIA agents and eastern european mafias
>>220909327https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8GaFuo4svQLooks pretty realistic to me
>>220911253>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8GaFuo4svQWhat was the point of this scene?
>>220910400>also the main take away from the show was real which was that the local, state and federal government profitted off the war and took active measure to even help and fund it from the shadows. they created and kept fueling fire then taxed us to put it out but never really didCool it with the antisemitic remarks.
>>220910587Whats is N- supposed to mean?
>>220911150Crooked cops and tons of suspense. Starts out kinda slow but get to the money train and it's kino till the end.
>>220911150GTA if it was a TV series.
>>220912148
>>220909327im black and i think its bretty "realistic". fuck you nigger. you don't speak for me
>>220911621you tell me
>>220909327>>220912394If you're a suburban Trevor Wallace white guy and you have zero experience with inner-city drug dealing and you're going on about how the wire is a "realistic" depiction of "the blacks" then yeah that's coded racism. If you're a Maryland Wood and you think the wire is a realistic depiction of the turn of the millenium drug trade and associated law enforcement activity and so forth then IMO that's a valid opinion. So I get where OP is coming from but it's like a case by case thing.
TELL THOSE FUCKING FLOUR RANGERS!
>>220909955How is that autism? That scene is laughably stupid, like most in the show.
>>220912772>thinks skin color means anything on the city streetsask me how i know, for a FACT, that you have no fucking idea what you're talking about. go on ask me. i fucking dare you.you racist imbecile cunt.
The robin hood AIDS nigger is one of the most embarrassing characters ever conceived. It's pure capeshit and the rest of the show is not any better.
>>220912861What are you trying to say? My point was a suburbanite wouldn't have the lived experience to judge whether or not The wire was in any way realistic, whereas a White man who had been in the penal system would have the knowledge to do so. On which particular point are you flaming me so I know how to respond?
>>220909327nigger babble: the shownever got the hype, probably the same morons that laugh at The Boondocks
>>220911150They made him suck
>>220912989I love how he's another reflection of McNulty just more educated
>>220912989>Mr. Davis, I'm City Hall
>>220912831It’s autism because you have a compulsion to say so in every thread whilst reading waay too much into it like it’s saying niggas are 110 IQ or some other such nonsense
I don't like white people and I'm glad that their TFR is falling. They're mean, very nasty people filled with hate.
>>220909327>t.seething darkie
>>220909327>hes never worked in an office before>hes never experienced bureaucracy>hes never bought weed off Frog. >hes never had a commando squad with bitches pullin guns out they pussy.
>>220909955>we are le intelligent negroes…play le chess!Realism would’ve been them crowding around one ps2 playing nigcore games like gta and def jam
>>220911150>Never saw it, tell me more.Wirechad here. The Good: >The acting from the main cast and seasonal stars (glenn close/forrest whittaker. >the characters are well written>Its a very funny show. >The main plotline is excellent>One of the best endings in television. Possibly the best. >has a very 2000s feel to it. The Bad>consistency and pacing are all over the place. Seasons always end strong. >the humor isnt always intentional. Theres a lot of dumb shit in the secondary plots. Laugh at it not with it. >Characters come and go too soon. >Has a very 2000s FX edge lordness to it. Go watch it. You'll see at least 2 Wire cameos.
>>220913850>>220912831the scene is just meant to show you the ghetto nigglets don't know or understand nothing other than the drug market so they have to relate even something abstract like chess to it, there are other scenes in S1 the hammer that point more it's a majore theme of the showit's not meant to be a deep metaphor or anything like that, everyone sperging about it is stupid
>>220913850if you were intellectually impressed by that shit then you're the retard here
>>220909327>If you're white>Fucking end yourselfWhy don't you just say what you mean you faggot?
>>220914087>have to relate even something abstract like chess to it, t>The rook is the stash so when you movie it around you bring the muscle. D talking out his ass. He was not a smart pawn.
>>220914087the original "i was blown away" post was from reddit and posted in earnest.
>>220914428>rook>castle>towers>stash
>>220909327> fucking end yourselfChuds and trannies (the people who hate this show the most) have the highest suicide rates, so I think we'll be fine. Keep seething tho lil chuddy troons. The world smiles when you suffer (^=
>>220914629and that guy was retarded too doesn't make people seething at the scene less stupid
>>220914629Soi fags started fawning over that scene a decade+ after it aired. At the time it wasn't seen as anything but ghetto nigs badly misinterpreting life through badly misinterpreting chess
>>220914629>from redditimdb message boardseven i forgot they existed for a moment.
>>220909327I'm watching the 1st season of The Wire and I just got done watching the episode where DeAngelo teaches the younger kids chess. I was blown away! I had to watch it a couple times to really pick up on it, but did you guys realize that when he was teaching them about the chess pieces, he was really referring to THEM being the pawns!It was so deep and meaningful, I am amazed by the deep symbolism of this.Do the later seasons continue on with masterful symbolism like this? This was truly the pinnacle of storytelling that I have ever seen on a television show, and I think I can confidently say The Wire is the best show ever made without even having seen the entire series.The acting is great too. Dominic West and Idris Elba really do a great Baltimore accent.
>>220914948this sounds like sarcasm tbdesu
>>220914855>imdb message boardsF
Any hot women though? No darkies, sorry.
>>220914022Shieldchad here. I agree with all you said.
>>220915630SPOOK STREET NIGGA
>>220909327It's realistic.
>>220916075Are you white?
>>220910400Things that never happened, the post.
>>220916766yeah having a life outside of 4chan must seem like a foreign concept to youbut if you actually went outside and did shit youd know about the xanademic of suburbia in the mid 2010s, any hashwreck who didnt leave the nest after highschool or go to college was caught up in a cycle of booze and drugs. shit like weed, xanax, molly, lean, percocet, any fucking thing really and if they couldnt fund their habit theyd steal shit until their parents kicked them out. if you kept a low profile cops wouldnt give a fuck but if you were out and about and fucking up theyd be happy to lock you up and make the county some money. they would sit on evidence for about a year before taking out a gang of high level suppliers because why drain a lake if you can keep fishing. and thats what they did for years, sit and watch neighborhoods of dumbfuck kids ruin their lives and make their parents pay while they just got rich.
>>220917132Nice fanfic bro
>>220912865https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnie_Andrews
>>220910504Trash show and trash opinion
>>220910504You might as well start with the Greeks.All "prestige" cop shows are a just a variation it.
>>220918976Boomerslop? No thanks.
>depict blacks doing what they do>>220912772>yeah that's coded racism
>>220910096>not realisticHow do you think people hooked up before phone apps? By mail?
>>220911253>nig understands “what if” questionsIt’s already high fantasy. Might as well have elves shooting magic while you’re at it.
>>220920428lel
>erm, akshually you have no way of knowing if this realistic if you're whiteOmar is capeshit though
>>220912772>>220912937>you're right but... for the wrong reason!!!Lol at people like you
>>220913850i'm black and i'd fuck you up in chess and i am borderline retarded lel
>>220909327I won't. About 12 years ago my dad got me invited to some bigwig party and we got the chance to talk to Philly Mayor at the time Michael Nutter, who is black if a bit dorky. We talked and bonded over our favorite show, the Wire. At one point he stopped our amusing discussion about Major Valchek and said 'You know what I really love about this show? The realism.' We all pondered this for a second before smiling and sipping our appletini beverages.
>>220911621Bunny had been suggesting to the academic overseeing their program that they'd be wasting their time trying to cater to dysfunctional youths over a certain age and level of exposure to hood life. This is the academic trying to have a discussion with one of these seasoned youths and quickly realising it is futile.
Most overrated trash nigger show in existence
It's quite telling that a show which portrays black people as fairly diverse in terms of how their circumstances impact their behaviour, personality and life trajectory, and a seething OP still wants to piss all over it because it's popular with white people.
>>220909327>"Omar's coming! Omar's coming!">little kids run>house wives close the wood shutters>hard street niggas jump in trash cans to hide>store owners lock their doors and turn their signs from "open" to "closed"Very realistic and doesn't resemble a goofy ass cartoon at all
>>220922676so what do you like?
>>220910128You’re an idiot
>>220909327It's funny how unfunny the million of chud replies ITT are.
>>220922676That nigga only ever shows his face when he's about to rob someone and in many of his robberies there are bullets flying everywhere with numerous bystanders hit. Makes sense those in the neighbourhood familiar with him bolts when he's about.
>>220910400> as someone who was using and selling drugs in the mid 2010sNobody forced you to do or sell drugs. You just refuse to be accountable for your own choices so you make up some retarded conspiracy about the government.
>>220912772Nigger I lived in Baltimore city for 10 years. The show is wildly unrealistic. I depicts feral urban blacks as somewhat sympathetic figures who are capable of rational thought and can speak in full sentences
>>220913644True
>>220922897>I depicts feral urban blacks as somewhat sympathetic figures who are capable of rational thought and can speak in full sentencesIn fairness those comprise only a small portion of the niggas featured and generally only main characters.
>>220917132Dumbest shit I’ve ever read.
>>220913644Y-you too
>>220922827I like the show but Omar is a cartoon character that detracts from whatever grounded commentary it tries to have. They obviously decided to do that on a whim too. In his first scene he's wearing a mask and doesn't want his name spoken because no one knows who he is. He also needs 2 sidekicks and to shoot a kid's knee out to get the job done. Later (even later in S1), everyone flees on sight and stash houses full of armed men simply give up the drugs out of fear. What's worse is they doubled down on it with the brotha mouzone character. >>220922827>That nigga only ever shows his face when he's about to rob someoneDid you watch the show? They make it a point to show him casually going out to buy cigs and cereal and stashhouses randomly throwing their drugs at him out of fear.
>>220922949One of my neighbors was a woman in her 70’s. One day a nigger thug broke into her home to rob her. Realized she was an old woman living alone and moved in and began serial raping her for about a week until some family member went to check on her and discovered what was happening.The levels of true depravity in Baltimore can’t be shown on TV
>>220909327its realistic in the sense that no character is too big to get randomly shot in the head out of nowhere over some bullshit. but the idea that these guys are like ghetto philosophers is a joke
>>220923076you have to be completely retarded to see them struggling to grasp the basics of chess and think they're philosopher geniuses
>>220923058>Did you watch the show? They make it a point to show him casually going out to buy cigs and cereal and stashhouses randomly throwing their drugs at him out of fear.Did you watch the show? The moment you're referencing is not ordinary behaviour for the character and it's because he's out that the crackhouse he just happens to light a cigarette by assumes he's there to rob them. His reputation has become mythologised.
>>220923221So he does go out doing regular shit but everyone still expects mass murder every time he appears? That's cartoon writing >His reputation has become mythologised.It already is in S1 when everyone runs on sight of him.
>>220923268>So he does go out doing regular shit but everyone still expects mass murder every time he appears?He goes out extremely infrequently. This is well established so when people see him they expect to be robbed. >It already is in S1 when everyone runs on sight of him.So what's your problem? By the moment you referenced his reputation has only grown and become more exaggerated in the hood.
>>220922897Even if that's unrealistic it's kind of standard to show people as more interesting and capable than they actually are.
Name five shows that have more realistic depictions of low IQ nigger criminals.
>>220913850def jam was based though
>>220909327I just treated it like a semicomedy like I do the sopranos, both series are so over the fucking top and whacky
>>220909327the fuck did i do?
>>220923060Okay but nobody wants to watch shit like thatRealism autists really don't understand. Stick to the sopranos lads real narratives aren't for you
>>220920428but he didn't understand them
>>220909327I was a wigger that went to a crime ridden ghetto high school and season 4 was spot-on
>>220922676kek>>220924282I think his point is this show drastically anthropomorphizes them and turns them into these Shakespearean tragic characters when really they're basically brain dead violent chimps on drugs.
