OPINION The Wire - A Hindsight Discussion

[Chi-Town B]

Avon and Marlo squashed their beef which is why Avon helped Marlo take over the connect

Yeah, that was me a few years back.


Had to rewind a couple of times to make sure it was her, but it was.

[Elzo69Renaissance]

ThAt was Stringer s ambition

Stringer Bell summed up in 10 seconds.

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

String s ambition was on point …. He just thought he was the smartest man in. The room and ended up getting played…. He wasn’t wrong for investing the bread it’s just how he went about it and who he trusted

He needed to go, a fiend can't be trusted to keep his word. Avon being upset about that destroyed the family

Wallace was a snitch, Dee was a fiend and could have turned rat at any moment. Dee wasn't doing nothing with that girl so why shouldn't Stringer get at her

 

[PhenomTheMac]

The show is so explicit about this. People just blinded cause they like Stringers idea. But the show beats you over the head with examples that it was NEVER going to work like that. It's actually overwhelming to list them all.

Didn't account for Marlo. Tried to reason with him completely misreading him from then jump. Avon scoped him from day 1. "No Marlo. No game."

The show tells the viewer repeatedly that those who try to reform institutions will always lost to the institutions themselves. Stringer, McNulty, Bunny Colvin, anyone who tries to subvert the systems in place lose. "The game is the game
"
Make a long story short. Stringer was a hypocrite. He tried to run the gangster shit like a business and the businnes shit like a gangster. When it didn't go to his liking he violated his own rules, ie. bucking at Poot for rightly calling him out during the meeting or trying to assassinate a state senator. Not hard enough, not smart enough.

D'Angelo was a halfway crook

 

[PhenomTheMac]

D'Angelo was a halfway crook

Stringer was wrong about all 3.

Wallace wasn't a snitch. Dee was gonna eat them years and just wanted to be left out of the game. And fucking on Dee's girl was another step away from Avon who in the end was the only person who could have saved him.

Stringer is wrong about literally everything the show doesn't even try to portray it as a question. He gets gatted down by the two men he misread in the very building he was getting rain made in. He lost in both worlds. Meanwhile the game comes to a halt when Avon walks across the field. The king remains the king.
