What was his endgame?

>>79723084
he knew he was going to end up in jail or dead his entire life

thus muh corners

>>79723084
He literally didn't have one, he didn't think that far. ahead He just wanted to sell drugs on his corners, take out his enemies, fuck his bitches, and hang out with his homies.

this. Childhood is idolizing Avon, adulthood is realizing that Stringer had it right.

Juss a gangsta, I suppose

>>79723180
Avon had it right when he said Stringer wasn't smart enough for them out there

>>79723166
Except I think that's maybe false in the TV show. Avon gives the money for Stringer to finance lots of things that are "community" related, like housing, shops and such.

rmyt.

>>79723180
Avon had it right, they had a good setup right there, Stringer was a megalomaniac who couldnt be happy with that simple good life.

>>79723643
Ambition and the climb are what separates the wheat from the chafe. Stringer was right to want more. Avon was essentially already dead, because he had stopped being ambitious

I get what you guys are saying but

WHERE WALLACE AT?

>>79723754
seems like reality completely disproved your assertions.

as always, conservatives are always wrong and live in an idealized fantasy.

>That episode where Stringer moves Avon to be a fake leader of the organization by distancing Avon completely from the business but letting him be the one cop's chase

damn cold.

Just because Stringer died in the pursuit of greatness doesn't mean he was wrong to try

>>79723754
Stringer was a hypocrite, wanting to break from the game despite killing D'Angelo for trying the same thing.

If you murder and deceive that much you can't turn your back on it or it'll bite you in the ass.

muh corners
muh lake trout

>>79723180
Stringer had it right in trying to go legit, but he went about it the wrong way, proving you can take the man out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the man.

>>79723605
That was just to launder the money.

>>79724169
Stringer didn't want to break from the game, he just wanted to move onto a bigger and better game. He had D'Angelo killed because he thought that D'Angelo would spill the beans to McNulty.

>>79723131
African dream basically?

>>79724301
He wanted in on downtown life and investments, to give up being a bandit and take himself out of the line of fire.

It's a game but not THE game that he had been playing with Avon since childhood.

>>79724301
>thought

Dee woulda snitched and you know it. Dat nigga was outta pocket wit that shit

>>79724041
Stringer must've been angry at that tbqhy.

Nothing but a fucking slightly smarter streetrat and he couldn't face it

>>79724816
Stringer was full of shit. At least Avon knew his place

That's just perfect reaction. I don't understand how the crew didn't laugh themselves to death when it happened.

Stringer was even too dumb to realize that Orlando possibly couldn't front 30k for the buy.

You mean the guy who wanted to assassinate a United States Senator for swindling him?

I can't even call it anything else. He was swindled. Who the fuck gets swindled kel.

>>79723131

No, he just didn't entertain delusions of being some fucking businessman.

Just why do you think Marlo was able to happen? Because muh corners.

what do you mean with that marlo remark

>>79727087

I love how they were so proud of this shot they used it for all 5 season intros.

>>79728498

Stringer's preoccupation allowed Marlo to take over. They only had a skeleton crew left by the time Avon was out so his first priority was to recoup, which would've been the smart thing to do.

lol stringer thought he could actually function at the next layer of the corruption food chain and got absolutely embarrassed and taken for a ride

Season 2 > Season 4 > Season 1 = Season 3 > Season 5

2>3>4>1>5

What makes this interesting is that seasons 2 and 5 are both underrated.

>>79729741
God, Season 4 was so fucking good. Why was S5 such a shit show?

>>79729813
>>79729741

3 > 2 > 4 > 1 > 5

At least season 2 does something different and begins The Wire being a show about the city than cops vs ghettos.

>>79729813
Season 2 is probably very good on its own, but it seemed like a real curveball after Season 1 so i hated it

>>79729816

>Why was S5 such a shit show?

What, you didn't enjoy seeing Mcnulty become an Absolut Madman?

nah senpai its the opposite. stringer thought he was shrewd enough to compete in the world of the true criminals, but he was just another smart thug from the ghetto. He ended up exactly where he was always going to. Avon knew that they weren't built to live outside of their habitat, and was quite satisfied as a family man with a widely successful business. Despite the murders and worse, avon was a strong man. simple, but he lived for his community and family and was not spiteful. stringer was weak, he lived for a twisted ideal he had constructed out of his insecurity of power after living in the oppressive atmosphere of the ghetto all those years

Who is the best character? Is it Omar? Stringer?

>>79730392
Lester.

>>79730392
Ziggy.

>>79730369
best.part about the.show.is the implication of goverment wide.corruption

Kenard. The only character with no redeeming qualities, just pure human garbage waiting to grow up and become a monster. No" oh actually this dude is sort of cool", nope, just evil. Even Marlo was cool sometimes.

>>79728231
Maryland State Senator, not a US senator lmao. Could you imagine that?

>>79730392

Slim Charles.

>>79723084

I think the duality him and string had was that avon had the wisdom, and stringer had the smarts

>>79730392

the lesbian girl and her partner who worked for marlo can't remember their names

Laughable character. An uneducated street gangster making references like "Day of the Jackal" and "A Man Without a Country"? Typical self indulgent nonsense from journalism majors.

he was going to fucking Baltimore City Community College.

settle down

>Avon Barksdale

He had no mother fuck'n end game, OP! All he wanted to do was stay IN the game! Truth be told, Omar was the fuck'n antagonist. He was the one robbing Avon exclusively because he had some bug up his ass.
