The Dark Psychology of Sully from Top Boy

Sully, a character who goes through trials and tribulations, serious trauma, and a lot more tied to his life in the streets, goes deeper and deeper into the realm of evil as time goes on. In this video, we delve into his mind, and find out how this monster came to fruition.

Sully losing Jason in the fire was so tragic and a huge turning point for the character.

[@ObsidianCrocodile]

Jason was the only person he really cared about. The dynamic between Sully and Dushane is complex, on one hand they are ‘brothers in arms’ but on the other bitter rivals. But Jason was an innocent really, and seeing tough man Sully be compassionate and caring with him was a beautiful thing. Jason’s death was so sad not just the obvs but the destruction of Sully’s last shred of love for the world 😢 🙏

[@AwareWolfOnWheels]

@@ObsidianCrocodile Kane showed similar emotions in The Kitchen, pretty sure the way he was in Top Boy with Jason is why he got that role.

[@MrEcto]

Man, you can have a hundred bodies and still be someone’s first. Sully was a genuinely terrifying individual because every time you saw him, it could be your last day alive. However, seeing how he became what he was through the show honestly made me sympathetic towards him.

[@D-A-A-]

Thing is with people like sully in the real world is you can be a bad man and have everyone scared of you cos you don't show no respect to anyone, even though he's the killer that's what causes people to lie to him cos they're scared of what he'll do, that creates resentment, he made too many enemies which in my eyes was his downfall, two examples of this is Leons death and Kierans death. Kieran didn't want to say jaq cos at first he didn't know if she robbed the money, plus cos he knew and didn't tell right away he was scared of sullys actions leading him to lie more and when found out is killed because of it

[@ObsidianCrocodile]

Facts. I would like to see a spinoff Of a young Sully.

[@justlooking1087]

Sully’s decision making in the early seasons showed that he wasn’t fit to be a kingpin. Dushane was the natural leader. He had to clean up Sully’s mess multiple times and Sully would’ve been dead in the first season if it wasn’t for him. He was too hot headed. Sully was thinking like a street level dealer and Dushane was trying to be the plug. I love Sully’s character, but he was a soldier/enforcer. If he embraced that role and let Dushane be the head, their crew would’ve been unstoppable.

[@didyouseewhatidone5412]

[@mokkaveli]

Facts Sully was an old school enforcer not some kingpin

[@BK-td6st]

Yes and no. They kind of need each other to balance themselves out. Dushane is a natural leader but isn’t as heartless and grounded as Sully. They couldn’t do it with out each other and they kind of knew it. If you listened Sully wanted things to be equal but Dushane shuts him down, this builds hate and in the end it Dushane chose himself as he normally does.

[@kinGsaL1515]

Spot on

[@deadpresidentials]

He's the queen, takes the most pieces off the board and makes the most moves but ultimately the King(Dushane) is the piece thats needed to win. Dushane needed Sully too.

[@kieranvirdee-jones3039]

I think Sully killing Jamie was because he couldn't let go of what he had done in the past but also I think Jamie reminded him of Dushane and the idea of Jamie taking over would sit Sully in the number 2 spot again just under a younger Dushane. Sully knew he couldn't retire from the life. He wasn't in it for the money like Dushane was, he was in it because it was a way to survive. It was just a part of who he is now, too much had happened, there was no way he could live a peaceful retirement, he would be hunted and killed. He needed the power to stay alive and there was no-way he was going to work under Jamie.

[@mimio7933]

Ironically his death ended inevitably (hunted and killed)

[@stuartmcginn3465]

Also Jason's death fucked him up more than people think. Because he was attached to him like a son to a father figure. He felt like he failed him when he sees him after ages only to find out he's doing hard drugs.

[@anjr9915]

@@doves9204 agreed but he definitely had some evil intentions

[@Loophole23742]

Nah! I think he was always a cunt. His being kidnapped had nothing to do with it. Season one he wanted to injure an innocent, Kamali’s cousin……just because he was Kamali’s cousin. Dushane had to stop that by presenting a better idea, where a “civilian” doesn’t get unnecessarily hurt.Why he seems worse in the last 2 seasons is because he doesn’t listen to Dushane anymore, I mean…not even a little bit. Most of his behaviour comes from his resentment of being second to Dushane, his obsession with being respected, being at the top since he’s always been in Dushane’s shadow. Even in the final season both Jaq and Kieron went behind his back and informed Dushane whenever there was a problem because they didn’t have faith in him to solve those problems.

*Also would like to point out* : Sully was propositioned by the woman who ran the Stash house.. and he outright declines it. You could draw the inference that he’d fully given up on any type of relationship - EVEN a casual one.. he was so committed to the roads - he had no space for anything.

Sully was Dushane's flaw that had to go, but the antihero was too attached to that pitball. He irrationally killed Sean Lewis and Leon. Sully should been clipped in Summerhouse, as Bobby Raikes advised, but Dushane didn't listen, that cost him his life in episode finale.

What cost Dushane his life was getting robbed by lizzie and killing her husband. He then became desperate and ultimately killed himself

Sully is one the best written characters I’ve seen in a long long time in a Netflix show or most shows nowadays.

PLUS Sully normally kill’s people in the head but he shot Dushane in the stomach and didn’t finish him off, he could bare to watch him bleed out but he knew he had to stick to the code even if it was his friend.

@@user-ii4rq5ko3x😂 would be kinda fitting I guess but the scene of dushanes eyes glazing over just wouldn’t make sense that way 💀 also Jaq wouldn’t say it’s all good cos she wouldn’t think everything is all good unless she knew she was gonna kill Sully

[@user-ii4rq5ko3x]

@@nathanc4298 I didn’t think of what Jaq said. That does seem to be the plausible theory.

[@nathanc4298]

@@user-ii4rq5ko3x yep. Also, I’m pretty sure the bags were in the car right? Meaning if it was Dushane, the Irish, Si, etc they would’ve taken the bag, not walk off. I don’t think Jaq wanted the drug money and maybe that’s why she left it if was her, or it honestly could’ve been Raif. The other big possibility is that the Irish didn’t care about the drugs, just the message, but I think the Jaq theory is better

How great is this production? The analysis and evulation is top tier. The narration is great. I love it.

J Wisdom, this the best character evaluation charting actor development that I have seen. Nothing has been left out. I am fifty-five and now a subscriber of yours. Well done young Brother.

[@nursepls4110]

Does Kano have any previous acting experience? If not, he has a natural born talent that I hope he can explore further because wow…though he is hard and terrifying, pain radiates off him. Amazing

[@deechonada]

I was shocked to find out that ashley has starred in countless projects but kano has only topboy and a new movie coming out in a couple weeks

[@OmniSphinx]

It's weird some side characters are in bigger movies after top boy but the main characters aren't in many popular movies

[@itzbensolo]

Yeah he's an awesome actor. I had no clue he was an artist first.

[@bryanbeethoven5860]

I saw him as Sam in streets of London back in the days

[@jademat31]

Apparently, he doesn't like acting! Shame, as I agree. Natural talent.

[@xlunxcyx8172]

That's what makes this show one of the best in it category. You can like these characters but you question yourself because of how evil they are from the begging and I'm so glad this show didn't feel different from summerhouse. I fell in love with that show back in 2016 and it being so old and short I never thought it would take 1st in my top 10 shows in that genre.

[@user-ii4rq5ko3x]

What are your other top shows? I love Top Boy, Narcos, Gangs of London, The Wire etc. Are there any others you recommend I watch?

[@xlunxcyx8172]

@@user-ii4rq5ko3x Power and all the spinning offs and animal kingdom. Animal kingdom is about a family of thieves and their mother created an empire while they were growing up having connections to everything and the acting is just amazing they play their characters perfect even the flash back characters. Must watch for sure. It's based on a movie from Australia and keeps almost the exact same story but adds way more to it. I'm sure you've heard of Power. You would think it gets boring eventually but man it just keep going. I haven't finished Myans MC but that show us great as well. Also 4 corners a German gang drama but very worth the watch. That's my top 5 id say

[@SpaceOutRob]

Boardwalk empire it's slow in the beginning but worth the wait in the long run. Snowfall alot of inconsistencies but I think it a good show. Sopranos about a don at has anxiety attacks due to his work,the shield about crooked cop's in L.A.

Your channel is amazing. Please keep up the great work. I love top boy and this deep analysis makes me appreciate the character development in the show a LOT more. 10/10 mate.

everytime i see kano perform i forget his a actor and when i see him act i forget his a performer.. now that’s talent

[@akashmahay6056]

When Jason died in that Fire it fully took Sully back into Darkness. You can tell he had love for Jason as he looked up to Sully.

[@igoswagforeign8775]

The editing is absolutely fantastic

[@calebseenchef618]

In the ending episode, with Sully walking his daughter the hoodie he wears reminds me of the grim reaper, dead man walking.

[@Guuunston]

My bro, this video was so well produced. Your analysis of Sully was insane, too. Thank you for sharing this. 👐 I Wasn't a huge fan of this last season and the one before as I'm always gonna prefer the OG Channel 4 series, but I can definitely appreciate the last few seasons after this vid! Will subscribe

[@Gary-vx7gp]

Yep, Summerhouse was definitely better, more raw? I did enjoy Top Boy though.

[@TrulyDelta]

i have been waiting patiently and you delivered my g

[@davidmurphy742]

Incredibly well put together video. I only watched it because I binged all 5 seasons over a couple of weeks and needed some more Top Boy content and this hit the spot. Sully was deffo the best character in the whole show and watching his character grow and crumble was amazing and heartbreaking. Just when you thought he was about to leave it all behind he got dragged back in.

[@andreagriffiths5057]

EXCELLENT!!! An excellent analysis of the character, trajectory and persona of Sully. Even if one never watched Top Boy, they would understand who Sully was as a person and why he moved the way he did. Sully desired respect and power. But by the time he finally received it… it was over. RIP Sully. 😢

[@HarleyD1991]

I think the question of who killed Sully is completely irrelevant. As you mentioned at some point he would have been killed by someone, somewhere. The point is that in life living that code there is only one destination. I knew sully was going to die way back in the Summerhouse episodes.
