jessesam Marlo probably made more then that after he got into real estate. Levy actually liked Marlo unlike the others he represented. You never say levy taking Avon to investment parties.
non yobussiness he actually did take Avon to a investment but Avon wasn’t interested. I don’t think Marlo made more money than stringer. Stringer had investments in lofts and condominiums. Do u remember the his last scene with Avon when he was telling Avon if only he was making this type a money a few years back he would’ve owned most of the real estate downtown. Stringer was that dude if only Avon just fell back and enjoy life and let stringer handle day to day operations they would’ve been on top, he would’ve proble got introduced to the Greek instead of Marlo
People forget that when Avon went down, the organization was on the brink of collapse. They had no muscle, weak product, were still under police surveillance, and had the best territory that would now attract the wolves. He saved them in season two and took the organization one step closer to legitimization (the ultimate goal of a criminal enterprise) and Avon ruined that by being worried about his street rep.
Stringer grew up with Avon. They started as kids and became what they are. Stringer was protecting his friend and his boss. However once he tried to legitimize, to become business while still in the game, and especially making dirty back room deals, was the beginning of the end. Had he stayed like this, or went full business and backed off the gangsta shit without doing his partner dirty then they would have been unstoppable.
@SirDistic The way I see it, Stringer would have been perfectly fine doing his legitimate business thing on the side. Avon wasn't fond of it, but they kept each other from swinging to far in any one direction. From I see, the single biggest thing that led to Stringer's downfall was being a damn snake. He wasn't being straight up with right hand man.
Imagine Stringer in the corporate world with Avon running the streets with Prop Joe's Co-Op. Stringer could have muscled into construction and real estate and within ten years they could have run the city of Baltimore.
Smartest sit down these two ever had.i wish string would've cashed his share out the game and started his own legitimate business.he would've lived longer
@@Jrtekk It all goes back to the first episode, where Dee was showing Bodie and Wallace how to play the game of chess. He was explaining how the drug game and it's players are like the set pieces of chess, each one having their own role in protecting the King, which in this case, was Avon.
And the queen ain’t no B*tch’ she got all her moves - D’Angelo Barksdale 2 Kings 1 Game Concept is what makes The Wire one of the best shows in history
Even with what eventually happened, Stringer was one helluva a number one. Could Avon have asked for more, for better? Maybe, maybe not. But bc of their particular personal history, Avon couldn’t have done better. Their partnership was so beautiful while it lasted. Like it was written in the stars. Which made how shit eventually went down that much sadder. That much more poignant. What a great show!
@@MONKEYSCHANNEL327 you misinterpreted. He called him cuz like "any family of Avon's is a family of mine." Just like he called Avon's sister his sis. In the show they never mentioned webey and D to be actual kin...
What I like about the Wire is how timeless these scenes are. Even without context, you can see an exercise in leadership here by Avon. The way he looks Stringer in the eye and tells him, in front of Bay, that his advice was good advice, is what's literally thought to all leaders. Praise your teammates publicly, criticize them 1-1. And then he straight up went into decisive decision making mode. Forget gangster bs, this is literally a life lesson And of course, Stringer feels empowered by the feedback to offer even more advice, and the team grows as a whole.
Low key, this moment where stringer took even more control of the day to day was the beginning of the end for the Barksdale organization. In his conscious mind he always wanted best for Avon, but his vision wasn’t aligned with reality and his heart was muted to anything but a narrow view of the numbers
Back when String loyal to Avon, before he started his affair with Prop Joe and the co-op...lol. He was way better in this role as the Queen of the Barksdale to Avon’s role as king. Build that wall around Avon, String!
It's that 🤜🏿🤛🏿 with Avon & String for me, showed how tight they was at the start. Always liked how A just listened to String quarterback the steps of them staying a step ahead of the boys. It still saddens me when I see how things went the way they went with em down the stretch...
Strings biggest mistake wasn't that he did what he did to D'Angelo. His biggest mistake was that he was emotional enough to tell Avon the truth. He should have took that one to the grave
the thing is, they legit took omar out the game. he was gone. stringer brought him back in because he wanted bro mozone out the picture. this then begins this chain of events of stringer trying to cover his ass so avon won't find out the dirty shit stringer did, then stringer obsession with wanting to kill omar to keep his secrets hid.
@@rokaine7334 Stringer had sonme control but Avon had the power. Even when Avon was locked up he was still King. Stringer started making wreckless moves that compromised him and he had to be sacrificed.......in essence the King was eventually captured
I've said a lot against Stringer, trying to be something he wasn't, all with Avon being a true soldier to the game. Honestly, though, they both should've listened to each other. In season 1, Avon was getting paranoid af, always looking over his shoulders. String was just trying to get him to see that they could make the same money, focusing on business, only showing up when truly necessary. Avon did bleed red, but did he really think he was going to get to 50 chasing corners. He was already king, but pride didn't let him really see it. Smh, he said it himself:"it's always gon be a Marlo".
See in this clip it's Avon that puts his fist out first for the fist pump.. Later on it was always Stringer putting his fist out first for Avon to pump...
When Stringer said ''we gotta build a wall around you'' actually this will not be necessary because Avon gonna be locked up and Stringer gonna take the charge. Stringer such a dangerous mothafucka
He was being real. Stringer was loyal, he just saw the ending differently to Avon. Avon wanted to be king of the streets, Stringer wanted to go legit and watch the streets from his condo
1:50 that look... Avon knows what's up, but he can't address it or it would text instead of subtext, and he doesn't need more conflict rn, especially with his number two. But he almost looks annoyed that Stringer is being so obvious about it like that build a wall line is kind of an insult to Avon's intelligence
When first watching this scene I had impression that Stringer wanted to slowly isolate and push Avon to the side in order to grab power for himself. And that impression stay with me, Stringer always seemed to me devious and disloyal.
Lol @ all the Stringer Bell hate. He legit wanted to do legal business while Avon wanted to fight for corners. Marlo & Avon are just alike. When they had the opportunity to go legit, they were too stubborn to give up the Crown for King of corners.
Once Avon got sent away that was pretty the beginning of the end for the Barksdales. Stringer is a good vice president but he made for a horrible President.
Man, this was when Stringer Bell was a real one!
Errordemn6 before he started playing them away games!
Yeah, a real snake.
Na this was the start of home siphoning the power from avon
@ Reprehensible Meshuggah 😅😂🤣
He rode for Avon. He's always been a real.
If they could've kept it cool like this...They would've had an empire
Real talk together with them on the same page they were almost unstoppable season 3 showed when they different philosophies clashed it fell apart
they were the ying and yang, and without the other it starts falling
Epiphany exactly

String got a taste of that power and couldn’t give it back after Avon went to prison. That’s what changed
no he wanted out of the game, he wanted to go legit.
drean he actually wanted out the game he knew they couldn’t get any bigger unless they went legal
Nah string had them making big money Avon wanted to still be on that fight for corners bullshit

811chelseafc word up in all actuality stringer was the Brain without him Avon would’ve came home to nothing
''We gotta build a wall around you b" just like how a King is protected on a chessboard
Bullet-Tooth Tony precisely...
The wall Stringer was building was prison for Avon so he can take over.
George Dennis nah he was trying to keep him out of prison up until season 3 when Avon came home and started wilding out
This scene goes back to how D was explaining how the game of chess is played.
Lol 😂
Stringer grew up with Avon. They started as kids and became what they are. Stringer was protecting his friend and his boss.

@@african9686 take notes bud. 1 of the superpowers of the world 💪
It's crazy how Stringer gradually changed throughout the storyline. He enforced a code, then broke the code one by one until it cost him his own life.
“Any of these mufuckin local cats wanna talk to you they gotta talk to me.” Lieutenant at his finest.
Avon was a good leader, praised his people when necessary and chastised when necessary. Nun too much nun too little.
If Stringer had this attitude in season 3, Avon would have won
The scenes with Avon always had the coolest tunes playing in the background.

Well, Avon ended up with a wall around him thanks to String.

This is the chess board D Angelo was talking about
The Greeks knew how to shield the King. The Barkstale Crew lived on street cred, whilst The Greeks lived on secrecy.
The barksdale crew castle the king

"Build a wall around" the king. Castling - another chess reference
And make Omar pay for it.

“Nah, this nigga live in the town too. He gon listen. If we parley. And then when he creep out his hole and shit. Boom!...smoke ‘em. Say no more.”
A wall does no good when the rat is already inside of it with permission and trust. Hell the rat built the damn wall you hear me !
And make East Baltimore pay for it
Putting aside the whole "Drug dealer" thing, these three actually look like friends and nice people.
Stringer was a trusted friend to Avon... but the game is the game .. always
String was practicing for them away games right here 😂
Right
I wonder where wee bay gets those hats with the bill on the side
