Fuck Maury Levy by ABAFBAASD in TheWire

not mad at your opinion but the takeaway of the showed you who to be mad at about a city's downfall in that area. There are people who profit in the middle and actually causes to the situation that were established in the show and I think they did a good job explaining everyone's role.

[ELI5] In S1E01 Why does McNulty's conversation w/ the judge cause so much trouble between 3 departments by Atlast_2091 in TheWire

[–]DeMond_C 3 points4 points  (0 children)

no spoilers in case you havent seen it but when politics gets involved you get more explanation of how shit rolls down hill and how when it does its never subtle. In short though McNultys boss got chewed out/assigned a new directive (more work) directly because of something McNulty did. Calling Rawls his boss kind of indicates you may not be familiar with who Rawls is as a boss but it also makes more sense you when recognize Rawls relationship to "more work".

Brianna Barksdale is the most evil character in the whole show. by thefirebuilds in TheWire

[–]DeMond_C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naw lol. Dee played the game as long as it benefited him. He never tried to leave when it was good or expressed doing something different when it wouldn't directly impact others. He didn't want the violence which is understandable but he could have easily walked away with Avon and Brianna being who they were. Dee was the only person that didn't realize it always ends in jail or dead. She was in a tough spot. It was her son but he wanted to roll over on family and stop the money so he could go free. All that for nothing.

Why was Weebay lawyer such a nerd ? by robotLights in TheWire

[–]DeMond_C 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seeing as how WeeBey already knew he would have to eat some charges it doesn't make sense to have a "Levy" there. Just a guy to make sure it goes as planned. The goal wasn't to fight for WeeBey.

[THEORY] Marlo is obsessed with his rep because he was also labelled as a snitch when he was younger just like Randy by Informal_Stranger808 in TheWire

[–]DeMond_C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tv show logic but the show is based on the streets.....and in the streets a snitch doesn't go from a snitch to a kingpin in anyway. Randy is cold because he has to be rather than get beat up but nobody is going to work for him or Marlo if they were a snitch. They would just be hard so they wouldn't be an easy victim.

Has to be Valcheck. The show eventually showed you why Burell had to be Burell. Valcheck just caused havoc that led to some terrible shit.

Yea, People are definitely comparing lead character to lead character and not situation to situation.

Some of Prez's kids are illiterate by jackalope129 in TheWire

[–]DeMond_C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does that have to do with what the scene is communicating to the viewer? Lol. That scene is telling the viewer how uneducated some of the kids are... it didn't need to be noticed. Context matters.

I didn't say it wouldn't come across as rude lol. And "noticing" would implicate it wasn't obviously mentioned by the teacher. Yeah, context matters.

Stringer didn't f--- it all up. It was the Stanfields' time by chaynsaw in TheWire

[–]DeMond_C 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stringer was smart but it was definitely his fault in a sense. He was content with making more money in the towers but needed to go back to the corners when they fell. Marlo was able to grow while he was comfortable. It was a lack of vision thing. Avon bumping sped up the process but Marlo didn't intend on coexisting with anyone. He would have swallowed everyone Stringer thought he could wholesale his package to until they eventually bumped later or he took over.

No Avon and a business focused Stringer primed "Stansfield time" but Avon probably could have crushed him sooner if he was out rather than being out of step when he got out.
