God, two of the greatest scenes showcasing a characters traits lies in this montage. The scene where Marlo is in jail and the final Marlo scene where he comes back for a whiff of the streets. It truly shows what kind of character Marlo was. His number one goal in life was to have the reputation and control of the streets and neighborhood around him. He WANTED to be talked about. That was his goal. The Wire at its best showed how different humans acted to achieve their greedy goals.

"wear it in health". Love how Omar gets that respect.

another thing people dont realise is that the police took down the barksdale crew then stanfield replaced them and dropped at least 10x the amount of bodies in 2 years than barksdale ever did.
you take away 1 crew and a worse one replace them.

@ANCIENTMYS But please don't get it twisted. Marlo was that dude. He was still a hothead though. Damn I wanted him to get popped!
-
@union410 And you forget how Marlo went down. He was hotheaded as well sir. If he wasn't Chris never gets locked up and Snoop never gets killed. Shit he had a chance to leave the game for good and be set for life but still chose the streets. Avon was far from dumb. He displayed that when he made parole. He was just too street and Stringer was trying to get out. Both minds collided and they both got fucked in the end.
-
@ANCIENTMYS Avon was in prison and trying to look out for his sister. He wasn't worried about the connect like Marlo was. And Prop Joe and Stringer were winners? Cause last I checked they got killed. Stringer tried to be a businessman but failed at it. And then got what he deserved. And not everyone who is killing people could rise to the top. You brought up Kenard like he was the next king of Baltimore.

@union410 Avon got to where he was by killing off the competition. Any crackhead or child with a gun can kill off people ( ex. Kenard ). The winners if any in the "game" are the people with the mindset of Vinson, Prop Joe and Stringer who know when to kill and when not to. Avon was not on the level of Marlo's intellect, he was way too emotional and hot tempered for his age. Selling the connect for 100k and Marlo turning around IN LESS THAN A YEAR and selling it for 10 million highlights that.
-
@ANCIENTMYS Avon was far from a fool. He just knew what got him to the position he was in. You don't go from the bottom to the top by being a fool. If Stringer and him were on the same page he would've been better off.
@DallasSpeakerman Marlo bought the connect for 100k and sold it for 10 million. How is that not a businessman?

@supersteviewonderful "You want the world to be a place where you can save some self-respect by challenging me for treating you like you aren't there, a place where I might care or understand about the motives that make you feel you can talk to me as an equal, a place where I have some compassion for the circumstances that drive you to work here, and a place where there will be no serious consequences of this conversation for you.
But it's the other way."
IMO
