    • @chrisbirch4150
      @chrisbirch4150 2 ปีที่แล้ว +30

      For Marlo's whole run in the show, you just kind of took for granted that he was the boss. The writers didn't try to prove his worth with any violence or heroics. This scene didn't really give any more back story but it fuelled so much intrigue about just what got him to that position. Like just what did he have to do on the way up to command that level of respect from his people? Especially knowing that they are all ruthless gangsters anyway. The Wire created a truly psychopathic character simply by stimulating the viewer's imagination. Amazing writing and acting.

  • @justinnesbit3948
    @justinnesbit3948 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1931

    What I love about this scene is its really the first time we see Marlo lose his cool and snap, and we see that behind the mask he wears he is really an insecure individual, and all it took was hearing that Omar was talking smack about him behind his back. Another thing is during the finale: you hear street corner thugs talking about the legend of Omars last stand, not Marlo

    • @ikosabre
      @ikosabre 10 ปีที่แล้ว +218

      I wouldn't call it insecurity in a negative sense. Rather, it's insecurity in the sense that you, as a gang leader, need to be aware of what people on the street think of you, because it affects your status in every way, not to mention your feeling of power. If you call Marlo insecure because of that, you should also call Avon equally insecure, since he was just as much worried about his perception on the street and was just as much in the game for the feeling of power. also, Marlo's anger stems from the fact that he was not told about the Omar's slander. Earlier in the season, Marlo has dealer executed for talking shit about him, but that he carried out with his usual cool. It's not the slander itself, but rather the fact that he was kept in the dark about it.

      ikosabre
      Avon wasn't geared on power; he was geared on respect. Respect was his protocol in the game. He corresponds with Mitch from Paid in Full. He just loved to hustle and show the people around him love. Avon wouldn't coldly murder you because you ran your mouth about him like Marlo did to multiple people who ran their mouth. Avon paid Cutty out 10k for his boxing gym after he quit. Marlo would have most likely punished Cutty for quitting because his perception of Cutty would be of him being weak. Power steered Marlo. If anyone tried to compromise his power or accidentally did so, they are getting a deadly fate. Marlo had no empathy for human life at the slightest when it came to his avarice for power. He resorted to kill an low income security officer who didn't have the power and status to affect his reputation in any way. All Marlo cared about was the crown.
      Avon was all about respect and he loved being the point guard. He didn't care about power. He let and trusted Stringer to wear the crown while he was gone. Marlo would never let Chris wear the crown while he's locked up just b/c of his ego. I wouldn't be surprised if Marlo would have Chris ho sell his packages if he ever got locked up so Chris's name wouldn't be out there. That's the type of Guy Marlo is.

    • @ikosabre

    • @barrybryant5113
      @barrybryant5113 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Taylor Giavasis I disagree and this is why... Marlo was Young, Hungry and very ambitious that is when you want ALL the power, respect and the money not the fame, that is why he chose to hide all the bodies, I'm sure if he would have been in the game as long as Avon he would had done the same thing to Snoop, Chris, Monk or any other close affiliate that wanted to part way. Marlo's young arrogance makes his character well written...gothim down to the T.

    What I love is that Omar is already dead by the time this scene happens.
    There's nothing Marlo can do to prove Omar's taunts wrong, since he can't step to a dead man. People are going to remember Marlo as a punk and a coward for not responding to Omar calling him out.

      Highyfly man in real life Every body would just assume Marlo had Omar killed. Remember the little boy who killed Omar was pushing on Marlo s corners with the co ops product. So technically Marlo organization is responsible for Omars murder.

    • @FlamingSpaceman
      @FlamingSpaceman 6 ปีที่แล้ว +534

      Not necessarily. In fact, Marlo's last scene in the series finale has 2 random thug corner boys mythologizing Omar's death by talking about how he was "surrounded by 9 people with guns" (paraphrasing here).
      Not to mention that the two corner boys didn't even recognize who Marlo was, but were in full discussion about Omar.
      The legend of Omar's character outweighed Marlo's status as a kingpin, I think.

    Marlo is so deeply unlikable that the actor didn't receive the credit he deserved, because he really embodies his character. Stringer was cold-blooded as hell but he was smooth and had a sultry voice. Omar is just a great antihero. Marlo is like Joffrey on Game of Thrones. It takes real chops to portray someone so hateful so convincingly.

Michael picked up on it during a car scene when he was calling out how they need to back up Lamar's and their gang's rep. Snoop got questioned by another youngerster a episode earlier.

But to disprove your point, the reason Chris respected him is because he caught a body and took a corner. When he caught a case because of a witness, he got the witness to come out of hiding and he clipped him. Then he beat the case.

      Chaos ZT that doesn't make them stupid at all lol. If you use the word source of information the first thing anyone would assume is theirs an informant lol.
      You are lucky to be able to watch both sides of the story so you saw how the cops got the information so this clouds your judgement on how cheese reacts becasue cheese is wrong... but if you didn't know that the cops were using illegal wiretaps and cheese said that you would be like.... oh shit who the fuck is snitching. Especially considering how many of the arrests that have happened because someone snitched(stringer on avon, omar on bird, orlando and kima on wee bey, bubbs kind of helped on everyone including avon the first time)
      also the reason why it said source of infromation was because the wiretap was illegal so they couldn't disclose that information and instead they purposely made it seem like they had an informant. with the hopes of making the arrest and in return getting an informant(one of the guys caving in and snitching) or any more evidence against the guys like they did with bird when they retrieved his gun after his arrest.

      You missed his point. Besides, Avon is back on top. Marlo survived but he still lost the battle he coveted to win all along, which was to wear the crown. He's a wealthy man but he isn't the king. Avon is the symbol of a king - No matter the shortcomings, the betrayal, and the falls, his name and reputation still grants him power. Marlo and Stringer failed to realize that reputation is a strong asset to maintain in a line of work like this. Avon understood the merit of reputation completely, which is why he's the winner out of all the other kingpins. He treated people who deserved his respect rightfully and he didn't kill innocent people to prove a point. He has a lot of people around him whose willing to have his back even when he's down, unlike Marlo who lost his crown and reputation all together.
      Stringer only cared about his income and not the way other organizations or stickup boys looked at his organization.
      Marlo was ruthless and amoral and didn't care about who got hurt as long as he was the man on top of the hill, which resulted in him having no one in his circle in the end having his back like Slim had Avon's in the end.
      The king stays the king. Avon for life

      Pay attention to the show because Avon is the king still. First of all, he is only serving 7 years due to his parole violation; not gun charges. Second, Slim Charles obtained the connect so he's going to pass it along to Avon since his loyalty to Avon is strong. Like D told Bodie and Wallace: "The King stays the King".
      Okay, Marlo is a rich man. He was a rich man before but he disregards money and covet power. He's a powerless entity. with a lot of money. Marlo would prefer the other way around. Omar's dead but he is considered a legend.
      Third, Marlo didn't kill Omar, Kenard did.

    If Chris told Marlo that Omar was calling Marlo out, Marlo would have gone toe to toe with Omar ,eventually getting himself killed.
    But because Chris didn't tell Marlo, it made Marlo look like a punk in the streets, therefore ruining his reputation because he didn't do anything about it.
    Excellent strategy by Omar.

    Great scene that displays the hiearchy between Marlo, Chris, and Monk. Monk has been fierce throughout the show, to see him show timidness in front of Chris shows Chris's power of intimidation over Monk while this is the first time we see that Chris has been chastised by Marlo. Great scene!

  • @Gootothesecond
    @Gootothesecond 10 ปีที่แล้ว +614

    What I love about this scene is that it exemplifies Chris' role as the man behind the throne. To everyone on the outside, he's mere muscle but, to their organization's infrastructure, he actually does more for it's day to day management and decision making. Case in point, Marlo is clearly perturbed and is pressing Monk for the information that he wasn't supposed to have divulged at Chris' behest but Monk gets quiet every time he looks at Chris who doesn't say anything and only gives him a cold stare. Monk then completely becomes silenced and defers to Chris whom Marlo raises his voice to with no effect despite the rarity of it all. Honestly, Marlo's only real value to the organization is his implied business acumen and assumed connections he had before he joined up with the Co-op. I say implied and assumed because, as we've seen, Marlo constantly relies on Chris for guidance. When you think about it, this is the Barksdale leadership model reversed. The "businessman" is the head and the "soldier" is the second in command. The difference is that Avon never really seemed to need Stringer, at least it was never portrayed that way.

    • @Gootothesecond
      @Gootothesecond 10 ปีที่แล้ว +97

      strattus99 I don't sense any fear out of Chris, he seems more or less indifferent to Marlo's anger and visibly pissed at Monk's disobedience. Chris only seems to defer to Marlo due to his ability to move on the business side of things which Marlo relies on him for advice also. If there's any fear, it's due to Marlo's pride making him fall into Omar's trap.

    • @coolyouthrod
      @coolyouthrod 10 ปีที่แล้ว +34

      Gootothesecond Spot on! The funny thing is that although Chris is the soldier, he has a sense for the fact on keeping the business first and only killing people for, if you don't mind me saying, practical purposes. He's always respectfully trying to talk Marlo down, from things that will draw unnecessary attention and hassles.

    • @Gootothesecond
      @Gootothesecond 10 ปีที่แล้ว +39

      coolyouthrod I think that's because Chris is a "soldier" and not a killer. Snoop is a killer, that's her only purpose and that's why *SPOILER* she let Michael get the drop on her *END SPOILER*. Chris is more pragmatic about his line of work. Look at the scene, he didn't want to kill Michael because he thought it through as opposed to Marlo who kills as, as we see in this scene, a precaution and, on occasion, a whim.

    The beauty of this scene is that it displays who Marlo was and why he was in command as opposed to any of his lieutenants. If you think over all of the experiences that Marlo has been exposed to; damage to his vehicle or being challenged by a rival organization or being robbed at a poker game, none were able to invoke the kind of passion he displayed at the threat of his reputation. Because he was so singular in his purpose is why he rose to the heights that he did. He wanted to wear the crown and ultimately he did. Don't forget Marlo is a drug dealer. Because we were introduced to Avon first, it's easy to forget that drug dealers are not as eloquent and poetic as Avon was. Marlo more closely resembles who and what a typical person in his position would look like. I thought this was a masterful scene, it gave great character depth in true wire fashion.

    This is the first scene where Marlo gets rattled. He is completely cool until this point. It reveals the entirety of how he gained his reputation and standing. And he ends up, in the end, right back on the corner in a three piece suit. This show is so fucking money it makes me happy to be alive.

    Marlo sought out validation from the street so bad that he went above and beyond to have it, even in the ending scene when he ascended he took to the street when the people didnt know who he was and beat them to death of reputation.

    And the look Chris gives Monk belongs in what I regard as the Top 3 lead melting looks of the series: 1). Brianna's glare at DeLonda ("so there ain't no lies from here on out" - I can feel the temperature in my house drop by about 15 degrees when she gives that look); 2). Cutty's look directed at Fruit at the end of Season 3; and 3). Chris' stare at Monk here.
    To late, Marlo, no matter how you try to spin it, Omar has already trashed your name beyond redemption.

      Captain Kirk after Chris killed butcher, Omar went on a warpath and started robbing marlos money and killing his muscle. Anytime he robbed marlos people he told them to tell marlo he ain’t man enough to come down to the street as Omar’s in the street everyday. Basically called him a bitch to everyone he knew.

  • @myronsanders4563
    @myronsanders4563 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    1 thing interesting about this Scene, when Marlo says "Ill step to Omar, Barksdale, whoever" But 2 things about that: Omar is already dead at this point in the series and the Barksdale organization is already Financially destabilized at this point in the series. Neither pose a legitimate threat to Marlo at this point. Remember how Marlo got in power in the 1st place, It wasn't in a Bloody War in the Streets, but by chance. Avon and co were looking to ambush Marlo but the Cops took them down before they could. And Marlo dismantling the Co-op was the Beggining of the end of Marlo. Also, when Omar escaped the Ambush from Marlo's Crew and then went gunning for them on 1 leg, you noticed that Marlo and his crew were almost entirely absent from the Show itself? The episode prior to Omar's death Neither he, Chris or Snoop weren't even in the Episode at any point. And Marlo dosent appear fully until Omar was confirmed dead. Makes you wonder just how organized, smart and tough Marlo really was. Look further, his rise to power was from mostly circumstance. And once power is fully in his grasp he just fumbles it away anyway

    • @dbstewart86

      Wasn't it tho!!! Straight GENIUS! Very good question. I would bet he followed the lines etc but they gave him free will as the character with Marlo. Seems like he added his own twist to him. That jail scene was EXTREMELY INTENSE. He talked about how he approached that scene in an interview. How his mom told him when he was younger, that your name is your name. His eyes, his choice of words, swag and the scar on the face made his character UNIQUE.

    Most of the visitors commenting are missing the point. Marlo was building his reputation, and it was a solid reputation. He had to take out a king to assume the throne, so this scene amplifies his attention to his "brand". A king needs a brand, i.e. his name. Chris, serving as the Stanfield Organization's chief operating officer, knew that Omar was a distraction, and wanted Marlo to focus on running the organization. A COO, and other executives have to filter certain information to and from the CEO. Similar to how Stringer filtered information to Avon during his incarceration. Think of this scene as an emergency executive meeting with the CEO, COO and two sales directors. All the parties expressed their opinions and the CEO informed everyone what the focus was, "brand reputation".

    Although I agree that Chris served as more than just a high ranking subordinate to do Marlo's violent bidding, I think it is somewhat of a stretch to go so far as to say that Chris, not Marlo, was in fact the leader of the drug ring that would eventually gain supreme control of the drug trade in inner city Baltimore. It was Marlo's ruthlessly violent nature and insatiable thirst for power that pitted him directly against the likes of barksdale and his drug crew.
    While Chris' actions against Barksdale set in motion the eventual drug war that would catapult Marlo to the top of the drug trade heap, it was Marlo who masterminded the assault on Barksdale. Furthermore, it was Marlo, who only after being acquitted of all charges against him per a plea deal with the city of Baltimore, reluctantly called himself a "businessman".
    In fact the mere thought of having to live a "business" driven life was so nauseating to him that, during the final episode, he returned to the streets of Baltimore, asking two low level ranking "corner" guys if they knew who he was. Ultimately, Marlo, operated with the sole purpose of attaining unlimited power and thus having his name "ring out on the streets" of Baltimore.
