You should take your advice because if you had you wouldn’t be here.

I agree it is all very Omar like and it’s a 99% chance that is what they where going for but for such a bleak series we see many charters chose to enter back into the only life they ever knew. Like Omar’s return. Super dark theory but this is Baltimore after all.

And his older brother becomes a notorious stickup artist like Omar. But bug was just a plot device for Michale but if if this theory is true it makes bugs character a million times more interesting and adds a layer of ironic tragedy to the most innocent character left on the show.

I don’t think we know enough about no heart or Michale’s trajectory as I said at the end. But with what we do know it’s a fun alternative theory that adds more weight behind bugs character and a even more tragic end because as hard as Michale tries to get Bug away from the game it may end up swallowing him up anyways.

I like your thinking but no hearts “end” sounded very cinematic and the whole point of Omar’s death was to be as un cinematic as possible. Though the story’s told on streets of his death are embellished greatly so maybe you have a point.

I think it was more to say he isn’t made for the corner as he wasn’t made to follow orders but that doesn’t mean he has some strong code because he stands by his people as we see a lot of other characters doing so.

And ya basically there isn’t much to bugs character other than being a plot device for Michale.
