I really feel bad for Cornell. He was an insanely talented kid with a soft heart, never wanting to get involved with the streets. He had a bright future ahead of him but his aunt ruined his life.
I like Cottonmouth more after seeing his backstory he didn't want that life he wanted to be a Musician but his Aunt made him into a mobster instead now I know why he made a club in Harlem
To be honest this is how it is for most black males growing up. Made to do dirt and run the streets by their mother. She is how most black mothers are.
The Fallen I don't know if you even ever been outside, always had your head up your ass, or you live under a rock, but most blackMothers do not make her son's run the streets and in crime.
The Fallen that actually might be the dumbest thing ive ever read on UA-cam... And thats saying something! Thats like me saying white mothers want their daughters to be gold digging trophy wives!
It was really hard for me to hate Cornell after going through his backstory, I just couldn't. When I saw Mariah kill him I understood, she was the real villian.
man.. flashback scenes like this where it shows awful scary family like this one always get's to me like there always just so disturbing but that also means you got some damn good directors/writers on your hand also thank you to my family for never being like this
Cottonmouth had so much potential. It's tragic how he couldn't use his talents for a career. However the greater tragedy is his lost potential as a villain and character. Instead of using his charisma and likeable attitude to improve the show they beat him to death with a Mic stand and the show has been worse since
I can't believe this is set in the same world where Howard the duck, drinks wine in space museum, Baby Groot dances during a fight with a giant monster Dr Strange fights with interdimensional demons and Thor protects nine worlds
It’s a big universe. One corner you have an organisation being infiltrated and abusing their power to kill those that they perceive as a threat, in the other a former space smuggler is dancing to distract a blue alien fanatic. One corner a man is being emotionally drained by his dual life as a vigilante and is unsure where he should go, feeling powerless without it but knowing how much torment it has brought to people around him, and in another, a rich business guy is beating his assistant to death for wanting vanilla ice cream.
0:45 Mariah glares at Uncle Pete even tho she complimented him. It's the 1st sign Pete is abusing her. Also before that Cornell resents the attention Mariah gets for her studies as opposed to his piano playing.
this scene immediately removed cottonmouth's villain status. he just wanted to be a musician because he had talent but he was forced into a life of crime

Shouldn't have been have talking shitt. Samuel Jackson wife in this is very brutal. I know this is a show and not real but I had a nightmare about her.
Back then, dealing drugs or even buying drugs were a very high risk of someone getting caught and they would give up their whole crew in order to get off lightly.
@@renegade6578 That wasn't a good answer. Honestly dealing guns and drugs are both morally horrible. There is no better. They both end up killing people when things get out of hand and the people who profit off it don't give a damn.

Cornell growing up in this family really messed him up. He could've been somebody.
1:54 I seen that scene while I was at the barber shop, waiting in line for my turn. I was so very disturbed by this.
