To me, the most interesting thing about Omar, is how he won his war against Marlo, without ever taking direct revenge against him. In a typical hollywood movie, Omar would have taken out Snoop, Chris, Monk and Cheese, in badass ways, and then he would have confronted Marlo, and killed him. But in the Wire, he doesn't get any of his targets, and is gunned down by a little kid. Marlo is so interested in his own name, and the power it carries. He doesn't care about the money, or the life outside of the game, he cares about his own power high, while in the game. Ironically, he gets the exit Stringer was looking for. He leaves the game with a lot of money. But he is an empty man without the game. And there is where Omar won. By the time Marlo walks out of that party, he has already been forgotten. His name no longer has any power to it. Meanwhile Omar's legend has grown to a mythical proportion. Decades later, the city of Baltimore will still be fondly remembering Omar. Nobody will remember Marlo in a matter of months. That's such an interesting and metaphysical way, that Omar won his war against Marlo.

One thing I can add. In death, Omar beat Marlo. When Omar loudly, called him out Marlo to settle things in the streets, everyone will believe Marlo punked out. No one will believe the truth that Marlo's captains just never brought him the news, which means Marlo was completely out of touch with what was actually happening in the streets.

This was an excellent character study that perfectly framed the subject within the larger narrative. I spent a semester in graduate school studying The Wire, and you did in 20 minutes what my professor did across 4 months. Of course, we enjoyed a good deal of the other tangential themes the show explores (and good God there are plenty of them), but this video certainly does get at the heart of the series. Well done! Film and television is objectively lesser without Michael K Williams, and his passing should be cause for everyone who cared and had the privilege of enjoying his work to take some measure of action to help promote the reform of drug policies in this country.

Excellent analysis of one of the greatest characters ever! The show was so brilliant that, even though I was sad at Omar's murder, it was perfect: killed by some kid who wasn't impressed when meeting him. Stripped of the mythological infamy, the kid just saw a regular person, as vulnerable as anyone else. Even more perfect was the mix up at the morgue. Though he was legendary on the streets, and for the audience, he was no one in other circles, almost buried as a middle-aged white man. I remember my first reaction to that scene being of shock, "how do you not know Omar?" But, of course, it made perfect sense.

Omar was partly based on a real life person. The man that’s with Omar that gets killed in Monks apartment is the guy it’s based on.

But he did have the code of no woman, children or ppl not in the game. Can’t remember his true name right now but you can Google about him

I just felt like that character had so much more to give. Of course he has some extremely glaring flaws as a human, but he was too good for the viewers. Also the fact that he had nothing left in prison except drugs...it's almost as crushing as Dukie's end result. Random note, what a GREAT little video this is.

It should also be mentioned with respect to Omar that he does eventually break his own code (or rather, his promise he made to the police to no drop any more bodies). This is after Butchie is murdered, and he comes across Sevino. Even though Sevino was not involved in what happened, Omar justifies shooting him by saying that he would have hurt Butchie just the same had he been there. In other words, Sevino's innocence of Butchie's murder was arbitrary. Once Omar crosses that line and breaks his promise, little Kenard drops him out of nowhere. So yes, while Omar did have his own code, he broke it, too, and paid the ultimate price.

Watch the rest of the season and listen to the street boys background chatter. Pretty much every episode there's a different story about Omar.

RIP Mr. Williams and respect for one of the most realistic performances we've ever seen. (Whistling "The Farmer in the Dell".)

I’ve been watching Hap and Leonard on Netflix. What a great show. Williams is fantastic as Leonard.

Never seen an episode, only some clips from youtube but can already tell that Omar was one of the best characters, if not THE.

Honestly playing the outro on low while listening to this video puts it on another level.

i think the reality hit bodie when kev got smoked, it put into his mind about how things played out with wallace and it opened his eyes to realize he made dire mistakes. It was too late for him, the reason he stayed on that corner when poot told him to run was his guilty conscience trying to make up for killing wallace and kev dying. Guilt mixed with revenge is a terrible concoction
