Love how he makes himself chuckle with that one. Seems like the type who laughs maybe once a decade

[@NicoParisComedy]

The juxtaposition of this character and his setting such a powerful writing tool. So many characters in The Wire just victims of their environments. This man learned everything about the world and then chose to play the game, not with a death wish, not out of boredom. Not even really to make money. Just to play it right. He’s so notorious he’s the big out of town muscle he loaded and he’s a genius and he shows up in a shitty mercury cougar he drove from nyc and stays in a shit motel. And his guy they really write as just like ur average Joe so he can ask questions. When his guard expresses homophobia u see bro just look at him like, ur being played. Gay straight we are the same and the hate is a tool of the oppressor. To keep us fighting with each other while they tear down the projects and embezzle money out and get kicked out of office before they make good on promises for another person to come in making more false promises and embezzle what they can and cash out before they make good on any promises and so on.

If you are talking with Prop Joe and he starts talking about an appliance... *you* are the appliance. With Cheese, Prop Joe says, "shame to let a good toaster get away over a frayed cord" (while Cheese is recovering from an injury), and then with Old-face Andre Prop Joe basically says the clock he's working on is "too cheap to bother fixing". Prop Joe keeps Cheese in his inner circle and "throws out" Old-face Andre.

[@sammajor2075]

25:29 All these years,just realized the chess metaphor. Stringer is a "Queen". Originally the "Queen" was a masculine piece called "The King's Counselor". String is Avon's counselor. Omar and Brother are bishops. Omar and Brother Mouzone both attack Stringer diagonally,similar to bishops on a chess board. A bishop is a high-ranking figure in a faith-based system. Brother is a devout Muslim. Omar lives by a strict,personal,moral code. And they both observe the code of The Street.

[@Anders-vl6kk]

this metaphorical cinematography is why the wire is one of the best shows ever made

[@NathanielLongchallon]

[@gregergreg]

Great metaphor, but I'd argue that Omar is a knight. Never moves in a straight line, ruthless, conniving, always attacking, lives according to a code, in the building he attacks a pawn to put the queen on the move but Brother blocks him, and he shows up coming straight through the doorway and goes left.

I just noticed that Stringer and Joe messed up by assuming money will make things make sense to men ruled by pride. Pride deludes people, and makes them seek their own glory over all things. Same problem as Satan. Gotta keep the devil in the hole. Avon got to see the fruits of his pride while he was grieving for Stringer. His pride came to him in the form of Slim Charles' speech about war. "Once you in it, you in it. And if it's a lie, then we fight on that lie. But we gotta fight!" Pride deludes people.

[@ashleybrooke2087]

I don't blame Stringer for trying what he tried but he had to know that when it didn't go as planned, that was gonna come back at him hard. How you gonna mess with Brother & with Omar & still hang around when it don't work out? The first time I saw that look on Stringer's face, I thought he was upset about what was about to happen but once I got older, I realized it's hurt over Avon giving him up when he thought they were tight.

[@ceerious]

Stringer thought he was smart, which he was only book smart, in the game you need both street and book smart, which is what Brother Mouzone had, and the rest lacked. Except for Slim Charles, who didnt have much book smarts, but was very instinctive and had extreme patience and awareness.

[@user-nh6oq8ut2t]

They were tight, stringer time and time again played Avon. Avon had finally cut stringer off, like he told stringer in their last scene “it’s just business” , which was always stringers quote.

Also remember it was Stringer that got Avon's Brother got in Prison.

[@ashleybrooke2087]

@@user-nh6oq8ut2t Yes & I think Stringer also thought he could keep taking advantage of his friendship with Avon since they were so tight. When Mouzone confronts Avon in the barbershop, Avon looked to me like he was disappointed but resigned, like he knew this day was going to have to come where he'd have to finally do something about Stringer. This situation presented a nice solution to his Stringer problem too so he wouldn't have to go to war with his friend. Let Brother & Omar take care of this for him.

Punching way above his weight class. With little patience too...

Imagine Mouzone and Paulie having a conversation on religion

[@ceerious]

😂 Paulie wouldnt make it out of that conversation alive... Paulie wouldnt back down, which is why he wouldn't leave alive. lol

Paulie would've felt like he's been stabbed in da heart

@@ceerious It'd be even funnier if Brother just kind of listened politely until Paulie wore himself out & then left & Paulie would be like "I like that guy".

Avon knew the streets better than stringer . He knew you don’t ask a solider questions and stringer asked . Stringer thought he was so smart but Avon was the one who did it . Yeah Avon would have led them all to prison eventually but Stringers idea of going legit never would’ve worked , he wasn’t smart enough.

that scene w brother n omar on the railroad was legendary.. best dialogue of a scene in tv history imo

[@ceerious]

definitely one of my top favorite scenes of all time. everything about it.

[@renzopeterson153]

It's funny, the old school cat that Joe was describing was exactly how Avon was in the beginning of season one. The police had no idea who Avon was before D beat that murder rap, hell Omar didn't really know much about Avon either. Avon never took pictures, barely talked on the phone and stayed in doors for the most part. D'Angelo beat that murder rap opened up so many leakey faucets for the police that it was a shame. If Avon made any mistakes, it was letting D come back to the game.

[@wessmugg]

“Aint no nga from NY gunna change the facts on the ground. Aight?!” That thinking is what got Stringer popped. The whole show was about people bold or smart enough to change the facts on the ground. Every chess piece is above the board. No chess piece is above the game.
