ITT: that boy Marlo aka Black

amongst my favorite characters of the series. That said when the fuck does anyone call him by the alias "Black" besides when the cops are talking about him.
lol anyways my re-watch is up to Season 3 and I'm loving every minute.

He was one of the worst part about Wire
Wasn't really buying that whole le emotionless sociopath nigger thing

>That said when the fuck does anyone call him by the alias "Black" besides when the cops are talking about him.
lol i do notice that every time i rewatch
i think david simon just forgot about it

I'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! What an amazing metaphor!

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.

Also the acting is amazing. Idris Elba and Dominic West do a great job with their Baltimore accents.

It was the most accurate depiction of a nigger in the series

so whats your series user? I mean not everyone has to like the same shit. Its cool. I'm just curious what you dig.

hmm the worst part? to each there own. Not liking Marlo seems that it would make it difficult to like this series much beyond Season Two.

>so what's your series user?
im actually rewatching it rn and it holds up well, i just posted the pasta because i think it's funny

i like the wire and that pasta is accurate as fuck

it was a dumb scene

I feel you.
The pawn bit works for both D and Bodie if you ask me.

it's not a matter of delay, of course it makes contact with the drug free of charge. This is a copy passenger but the wire is the most impressive and you alone can not pass the pilot pilot

This Pacific did not use the feeling because the "symbolism" of trying to criticize comes from the meaning of the competition. The revelation is not trying to pass from the depth, the behavior is, and the character is foolish.

...

I see this knit a nice but what is a good example?


And no, Snyder is clearly an outward figure that is not good at all

and sincerity was worse than Tony and the duck, sopranos certainly were a better picture, but I found the happier wire.

They use certification certificates in their first season.

>show about nigger villains in Baltimore
>best season has little too do with non-whites
Woah

>clearly anti black people
>is suprised when he doesnt like a tv show about black people


I know racists are dumb but come on.

> buying that whole le emotionless sociopath nigger thing
That is just regular niggers. Niggers have the least amount of empathy and compassion.

>aka Black
What did he mean by this?

>Marlo is the ultimate gangster
>has people retardedly loyal for no reason and is never seen actually planning or doing anything besides staying silent and nodding somehow having everything go his way possible

His gangster power is being super lucky?

yeah, it might seem banal to us, but to niggers in that hood it's like the rocket science. context is a helluva thing

This, I don't get it
Avon and Stringer had charisma while at the same time being intimidating as fuck.
Marlo was just an intimidating autist with no charisma at all.
>inb4 some Machiavelli shit like "better to be feared than loved"

I'd argue it was part of the 'evolution' of the streets from old to new that to be a leader you no longer had to be especially charismatic, just bloodthirsty

You do not live in md or dc. He is a regular black.

Eh it just felt like he had plot armour. The best part of his character is right at the end of the series when we actually see him speak and do something.

google him im real life. had one of the craziest shootouts in brooklyn history...atleast modern. shootout dozens of bullets dead body ambulance got tailed and shot up hospital got shot up ! some shit straight off the wire.

I know what all those words mean, just not in that order.

nydailynews.com/news/crime/fatal-gun-battle-party-wife-jamie-hector-played-marlo-stanfield-wire-article-1.426713 heres the article. in real life he runs with the leader of one of the most murderous jamaican cartels out there. theyre known to come anywhere you are in the world once they know. the boss just got locked up by the fbi on a fluke murder for hire charge and as soon as he did brooklyn ny murders started to rise and havent gone down. his article next if its online.

I thought he was involved but it was just outside

lame
