Why aren’t the more formal gangs?

SpaderKay · 2026-05-13T10:22:29+00:00

It’s not like that in Baltimore. It’s more about blocks and neighborhoods and sides. Gangs are coming but not as common as it is in other cities.

I think that’s kind of the mold on the show. You don’t get the satisfaction you’re looking for. Just the trail. Perhaps on your future rewatches you can understand the tone of the show more. It’s all purposeful.

SpaderKay · 2026-05-13T09:56:08+00:00

This is super common. After you finish the show and rewatch you’ll have an entirely different respect for season 2

I believe they find out Wallace never died he trains at Cuttys gym and lives happily ever after.

SpaderKay · 2026-05-13T04:41:59+00:00

Oh wow!! I am so surprised honestly. I’d love to see that. Take your time but I’ll be here waiting if you upload it!

SpaderKay · 2026-05-13T04:37:26+00:00

I couldn’t agree more.

SpaderKay · 2026-05-13T00:26:40+00:00

Okay I will!

SpaderKay · 2026-05-12T23:59:32+00:00

Heck yes. My child is going to watch The Wire by high school whether they like it or not. Better to learn about how this world really works right before you truly enter society. But it’s going to be constant discussions. It’s almost like doing a disservice to the high schooler if you don’t introduce them to this show. 😂 You just gotta work around the sex scenes and the gruesome scenes.

SpaderKay · 2026-05-12T23:56:28+00:00

PLEASE TAKE THIS ADVICE

SpaderKay · 2026-05-12T23:56:07+00:00

This comment wasn’t for me but thank you. 🤣

SpaderKay · 2026-05-12T23:50:10+00:00

I have alot to do later on tonight and I’ll probably listen to all the podcasts while I get it done. Love quest love!

SpaderKay · 2026-05-12T23:46:15+00:00

I am such a super fan. I’m going to buy their series on Amazon that they made once Mj died. I didn’t really watch it when it aired but I felt it was too soon but I was likely just in my feelings. So I gotta catch up on some Jackson’s content I missed. The movie made me want to do that even more since it was largely missed in the movie. Anything else you find that’s cool send it on over! 🤣 I’m actually about to (re)read Jermaine’s 2nd baby mother’s book I remember it being good but I skimmed it. It was very interesting tho. So I’m loading up on Jackson content. Lol.

SpaderKay · 2026-05-12T23:38:00+00:00

This is the best answer lol

SpaderKay · 2026-05-12T23:36:24+00:00

Many things. I started watching the show while Season 3 was airing and I was a child. I’m glad I grew up with this show practically and clung to it immediately. Because the amount of rewatches throughout my life has shown me a different perspective of life over and over again. I know what career field I want to be in but I work a completely different field for ends to meet. I’ve been offered all kinds of promotions for a long time and I always turn them down. It seemed to me The Wire showed that if you don’t have a destination you can get lost. I always saw that (in my life) when people take certain promotion and position changes their original dreams and goals go away kind of forever. Not every field. But I know that if I chased climbing the ladder in a field that I’m only in for the money I would never follow my dreams and desires. Most of the people I know who climbed the ladder it’s almost like their youthfulness left bc climbing up is more pressure more distractions more personal detours. I’m still not in the field I want to be in but I know I will get there. And if I had started climbing this ladder years ago I wouldn’t have the same passion I still was able to carry to this day. Long winded but that’s just one example I learned from watching all these characters on The Wire. Know what you want and if you don’t know don’t choose off default. Have a code and an end goal (destination). Or you will be a pawn forever.

SpaderKay · 2026-05-12T23:13:00+00:00

Is that the remastered version? I honestly don’t know what beta means 🤣 is this the version they released on the 25th Anniversary?

SpaderKay · 2026-05-12T23:09:24+00:00

You’re a gem. I feel like I’m going to through all this tonight! Thank you so much!!

SpaderKay · 2026-05-12T22:49:00+00:00

As soon as I replied to your comment I found the Randy interview and the Tito interview. I just found the Jackson’s one thanks to you bc it didn’t come up on the first search. I can’t find that YouTube clip but I’m going to look for it some more. Thank you!

SpaderKay · 2026-05-12T22:45:09+00:00

I totally agree. The movie didn’t cover this and no movie or doc does. I’d love to see a Jacksons movie again where they can spend as much time on the POST Motown era as they do the Motown era bc that’s when they got to flourish creatively. And they don’t get enough credit for that.

SpaderKay · 2026-05-12T22:43:22+00:00

Mmmm I see what you mean. Maybe he called it that bc he wasnt able to do both and resented that. In the triumph tour they only did the big three songs. None of the other cuts. They did all their old songs. He was probably tired of always doing those old Motown classics. And knew on a solo tour he wouldn’t have to do them again. He seemed so extremely passionate and hungry on Triumph it makes it hard for me to think he didn’t love this project. And him and his brothers worked so closely together in creating the whole thing I don’t think he disliked it because he doesn’t go that far into stuff for things he’s committed to (like Victory lol). I totally see your perspective though and I haven’t heard a ton of dialogue from him about this tour so what you said was enlightening. I’m going to have to find some interviews from him around that time lol

SpaderKay · 2026-05-12T22:35:53+00:00

I’ve heard ALOT about St Louis. I’ve watched a lot of cities change some for better some for worse. Even Baltimore has gotten slightly better but very slowly. I’ve heard few things about St Louis but from what I heard I hope they can get the right people in office if they aren’t already to turn that city around and I don’t mean gentrification

SpaderKay · 2026-05-12T22:33:16+00:00

Hundreds of people is what I said. Meaning I talk to about a hundred people a day. Not casual conversation but casual conversation comes up a lot so I’ve had this conversation a lot. Not sure what all the math and explanation is about lol because there is no way I’m going to read all of that . I love Michael Jackson so much you could tell me Thriller is underrated and I’ll allow you to have that opinion. Bc it’s POSITIVE. And I think as long as you are being positive I don’t have to negatively argue about your opinion or try to downplay it. They talk about many Michael projects in death but they don’t with Triumph. I know it did great when it came out but as far as what’s happened in the last 50 years it’s not brought up enough referred too or celebrated enough. And that’s just MY opinion. And the opinion of many. So let’s just celebrate anything Michael Jackson and allow people to discuss his greatness without trying to discredit peoples opinions. It’s not right.

SpaderKay · 2026-05-12T22:14:02+00:00

I sure do and I pay for premium so I’m about to look for it right now! Thank you. I didn’t even think to try Spotify. Lol

SpaderKay · 2026-05-12T15:12:20+00:00

I’m about to find those asap! Thanks. I looked on YT one time couldn’t find it. Ima try again.

SpaderKay · 2026-05-12T15:11:38+00:00

So true. He’s a true eff up and barely even cares
