I just noticed my fuck up but fuck it lol much love to all of you ✊🏾
Just a heads up it's a misconception those kids aren't Wallace blood they just don't have parents and most of them work in the pit as look outs and runners
@@kdub2818 I know Fam, when I recorded this season I wasn’t looking at it that way. Thanks ✊🏾
Where's Wallace?
@@derps0n839 iconic
Just wanted to say I'm fairly new here, love the content.
Got on the channel randomly watching peaky blinders reaction (I'm working my way through those BTW)
Im from Birmingham England myself and thought it would be interesting to see a view point of someone from the US and someone of a different age etc and its a great experience so far.
Then i saw you're doing the Wire, another great series so I'm following that to with you.
Keep it n good luck with the channel 👍
Wallace talking to the cops is rough because you know he's just a kid who was never cut out for that life, and it weighed on his conscience. But that didn't matter in the world he lived in and he faced the consequences.
he was also strung out on drugs. I think it is easy to overlook how drug use affects the mindset of people like Bubbles, Wallace etc. when it comes to snitchin
Bruh I look forward to these every week. You and The Normies are doing The Wire right now. An episode a week just ain't enough haha.
Wait till Friday! Much love
@@eternal47777 not trying to spoil the show for you but it's already been confirmed pretty much about Omar testifying, when Omar takes the stand is DEFINITELY one of the best scenes in the whole show. Also I think eventually you will love Bubbles
@@kbiz2379 then let him see for himself
@@kbiz2379 I know you are just trying to hype him out but b careful revealing things my man
Ay shout out to heatah and hustla. Been rocking with their reaction for a few years now.
Those my brothers!!! They gave me the game… well a little to find out how serious I was. 2 weeks later happened & here we are 2 years strong! Much love brother 💯
New Wire video from Eternal, gotta like it before I even watch.
My brother, how you living? All good
Man ur outlook on omar is so shocking but it makes so much sense lol I don't know how I've watched the wire so many times and never really looked at omar in that light. I always saw him as such a badass but there are flaws to his thinking. I still enjoy his story I'm sure you enjoy it as well but its awesome to see a different view on him and his actions through the first season. Cnt wait to see ur full journey through this show lol its going to be so good!!!! enjoy the ride man!
I love Omar but I hate em 😭 appreciate the support fam ✊🏾
whoa, this is the earliest i've ever been here
All love fam ✊🏾
Your argument is well-reasoned. But I disagree. Omar is Yojimbo. He's a ronin. He doesn't have an organization backing him. He plays one side (the police) against the other (Barksdale crew).
As much as I love Omar, I think you raise a great point.
You should watch Treme (regardless if its on here or not). It has a lot of the same actors and it's also an HBO show that highlights a lot of the issues you're passionate about.
THE WIRE!!!
The wire!!!!
The rat / informing situation comes down to a few things, while i agree personal responsibility is a righteous way to look at it but punitive sentencing over drugs is key, its hard no doubt to stand tall when you're looking at twenty years and you got pressure from cops as well as promises and there's nobody going to help you, the crew going to stand up for you and your family? Twenty years? Twenty minutes maybe, or until the court case is over at the most then you can sit with your righteous self for twenty years.
The sentences are disproportionate is what I'm saying for non violent crime. Rapists, sex offenders, even murderers get less jail time some times.
Then you got addiction, an addict is going to give up anyone and anything rather than climb the walls in a cell if they can, they got that to deal with before anything else and it's powerful, beyond powerful, people give up their own for a fix trust me on that.
Gangbangers don’t have a code most of the time so why should anyone trying to bring them down?
@@kdizzle901 you don’t have “soft eyes” at all lol Loves the word Bangers and calling black people them for speaking however they decide to speak. An judging like you know what’s in people hearts when you’ve never met an ain’t been thru nothing the other side has experienced. If the police just get to do watever they want to one group of people their gonna treat everyone the same exact way stoopid. But wait that’s already been happening in America from jump. Again FOH Banger
There was a heavy emphasis on the sound of nature when bubs was at the park in the beginning. It was like his focus was expanding away from heroin and experiencing the wider world.
Dope observation ✊🏾
Hey not sure if you have any spots open for shows or anything but honestly you really should check out banshee if you have a chance would love to see your reaction but even if you aren’t able to react I still think you would enjoy checking it out
So does bird and webey and stickem and Avon and stringer have morals and principles?
Can’t wait for more wire, the end of the second season is heartbreaking with its last scene
This is a great episode you could definitely see Michael B. Jordan's potential as an actor
Did you get to see my reply to your first comment. Your comment meant a lot.
I only watched the first couple seasons a few years back and rewatching this episode made me think of how much burner/prepaid phones must have changed the game just within a few years of the era the first season was made. Without those, you might as well try using carrier pigeons or some shit rather than payphones if the cops are on your case lol.
Keep watching the show. They cover burners eventually.
There's certain things you don't do, like torcher and murder people.
People snitch all the time. It's hypocrisy, but that's the side people don't see. That's why I'm glad the show shows that. I know career criminals (it sounds like you do too). The ones that been in the game for decades, their circle of real ones is small af. Because a lot of the people around them folded over the years. They just get cut off, whether they get did or they still breathe. They're still dead. People who stay solid over years are rare bro. Liking these reactions bruh.
You right and my bad for this late reply. I appreciate your support fam! You still with me?
Yeah I'm still with here bruh. I' been waiting for those wire reactions lol. I know life happens. People gotta handle biz. It's nothin bro. Now I gotta catch up lol. Stay up G.
Next episode gave me a lot of unexpected respect for Rawls.
Then every eps after that the respect was gone…
So if you're doing dirt and get ratted on take it like a man, you knew you were wrong when you killed a murderer witness, so take it like a man.
If someone has a problem with Omar breaking code then do something about it, that's the game right? Make him pay, simple as that aint no point in mincing words about it. People can disagree with breaking the code, but if you aint gonna step up to Omar over it then it's a mute point.
And No one did 😭 that’s why he’s the true King. Thank you for this 💯
He loves Omar but hates him in the next breath. lmao
I don’t hate him, just can’t respect him fully
@@eternal47777 I hear you.. excited to see your reactions to the last few episodes.
If you care about these communities so much why you always defending the monsters who destroy them? You can't have your cake and eat it too. Always getting on the police and informants but always finding ways to justify the drug dealers actions. If your about the street then be about it. Don't try and claim your for the community when at the same time your slinging rock and heroin to single mothers or defending those who do because of "street code". Pick a lane. I really enjoy your reactions and love hearing different points of view but it just comes off as self serving and hypocritical to me.
You don't have to explain shit about Omar. He's a snitch. But he's dope. And he's a snitch. The two things are not mutually exclusive.
Now your gonna start paying attention to the title name DOH, WTF kinda. Says it all man FFS
Ya know what bro? I appreciate the fact that you don't feel the way the writers wanted you to in regards to Omar. It makes your reactions interesting as fuck, in the moments where you're supposed to be on Omar's side and be cool with him snitching, you're not, and the moments where you're suppose to sympathize with Bubbles, you don't. You think for yourself and back up everything you say afterwards, dope shit bro!
Appreciate that brother ✊🏾
The writers didn't want him or you to automatically take Omar side, but think for yourself. He played it right.
these reactions should be called "the ethics of snitching" lol ... because it always comes up in the videos and the comment sections
Nahh 😭😭😭
@@eternal47777 I agree their is no ethics for snitching you can't live a street life breaking the rules and then want the cops help when you feel like you got done wrong that's like you playing a game and cheating then you lose and cry that your opponent was cheating you both was he was better at it so you have to eat it
@@kdub2818 my brother!!!!
@@eternal47777 It's crazy how people with no street bone in their body make excuses for it like of course you cool with it cuz it will never effect you like everyone loves Omar he's one of the most loved wire characters but he deep in the streets and knows better than snitching not to mention the cops know for a fact he killed someone but gives him a past to lock up a killer of another snitch I mean witness since he wasn't a street guy but in all honesty they should have relocated him not for nothing no way they leave a white witness to drug organization live in the same city that's crazy
@@kdub2818 everyone's cheating, thats part of the point of the show. its all nice words until u faced with a bag of money or 20 years of bull. Whats it you value? cause its not yourself thinkin like that.
I've done multiple rewatches of The Wire. I keep noticing new details. This time? The kids playing in the park while Bubbles is on the bench... they're playing with bubbles.
9:40 exactly, bro.
Another David Simon project, "Show me a Hero" is all about the introduction of housing projects and the development of Yonkers, where blacks and whites (or poor and not poor) are separated by the interstate by design. Great leading actor.
Omar's goal is to take down the whole Barksdale crew, not just Avon. By ANY means necessary. Omar HAS to payback Brandon's loyalty. That is how Omar is taking responsibility. Just because you would let Brandon's tortured death pass, doesn't mean Omar will. This story just started, and Omar will make himself understood in the future, so hearing your rant about Omar is actually kind of funny. You have NO idea what's coming. Let's just say that, Omar will ALWAYS try to get's his payback.
I’m not giving Brandon death a pass lol y’all not hearing me. You go take care of them cats yourself!!!!! Can’t wait to what he does in future. It wasn’t a rant lol I’m just explaining why he doesn’t get a pass for rocking with the police.
@@eternal47777 Dude, did you forget about Omar taking out Stinkum? Did you forget about Omar almost killing Avon outside of the club? Isn't that Omar taking care of business? Look at it this way, Omar is all by his lonesome. No one has his back. He is using the cops for protection during the parley because he is being hunted. Remember when Omar talked to the cops in the basement after Brandon was killed? Even the cops know that Omar is going to take care of things himself, that's why the cops brought him in after Stinkum was killed. They knew he did it, they just couldn't prove it.
@@eternal47777 Yeah, once the whole scope of 5 seasons sets in, the view of Omar changes. I think that's why there is so much dispute about this topic. The show will continue to peel back all aspects layer by layer and I think this conversation may seem less relevant by that time.
Kima speaks the truth there. "What am I going to do with a clean informant?" Using a desperate addict who will do anything to get his next fix but would an ex-addict snitch like that? But to her credit she wants to help him get clean, despite how it means she'll lose an informant. But how many other cops would have been fine with him staying a dope addict just for the easy access to information?
We live in a microwave generation bro. People are impatient af! Move at your own pace. We support your grind.
My brother ✊🏾
That's true, quality is important, don't rush yourself, and these people pushing, they got a whole Internet to keep them entertained in the meantime.
Do what you do, it's all in the game man 👍
People can get entitled about shows that inspire their passion. I would say try not to let that undermine your experiences. Being pushed to watch something can poison it, unfortunately. The only relationship that matters is the viewer and the show. The rest of us aren't even here. If someone starts losing perspective, just tell them to buy a pet or a houseplant or something. This is the best TV show ever made, and nothing should interfere with anyone's experience of it.
My dawg lol all love
As a huge anime fan. The Wire is dope. For me, it's right behind Breaking Bad!
Personally I rank it above breaking bad. Bb is amazing dont get me wrong, but I think what tips the scales for me is just how all encompassing the wires themes are and how big the cast is. Bb is a simpler story about how a good man becomes bad, or perhaps more accurately, how someone who was ALWAYS bad on the inside snapped and decided to actually act on it. Really brilliant show for sure, can't fault your opinion
@@alexbaker9578 Yeah that is true. The reason why I put BB over Wire is just because it impacted me emotionally a few times. I bawled my eyes during the finale. And I liked its attention to detail. But I can't fault anyone for picking one over the other.
Have you seen Sopranos? It checks every box Breaking Bad does and then some.
@@alexbaker9578 I would agree on this. The Wire feels more like real life while Breaking Bad is more of a traditional story
Omar going 1 vs all of Barksdale crew, granted it might have been a bitch move to go to the cops, but it's easy for you to condemn him sayin he ain't no leader when YOUR life ain't on the line like that. All I see is a man of focus drive and determination going to any lengths to get to Barksdale and make him week. He wasn't afraid to go out them streets after he snitched on Bird either. Omar don't scare.
Omar knows there's severe consequences that's why he told his dude not to go to the arcade, but he said the didn't have to torcher him, they could have just taken the dude out, but the wanted to take it to a new level, so Omar did the same.
Eternal...THIS
THESE kind of reactions are why you are the best.
I am a middle aged white chicken, and I now use the term, “THAT’S A BAR” in my daily life 😂😂😂😂😂
White chicken lol that was funny! It’s all love, we fam ✊🏾 Im big into musik and lyrics so that’s were “that’s a bar” comes from
I see what you mean about Omar. But I also see how Omar is playing game. If Brandon caught a bullet that's in the game. Torture is not, that's personal and Omar by using the Boys is trying to get info like he did to find Avon. Like you said if you lost a mom or someone close there'd be no rules. Omar is operating like there are no rules. He just wants to see his enemies fall. So i get. Besides killing innocent people like Avon crew has done makes me less sympathetic. But I get your perspective.
🤣 For me, Triggered Time, the segment of the video where Eternal47 is triggered by Omar, Bubbles, and the fans who love defending them, is quickly becoming my favorite part of The Wire reactions. I'm saving them, but I hope and know the Peaky Blinders reactions are just as lit. 🔥
Hey bro. I know you feel somecway abouy characters snitching. I give Omar, Wallace or Bubbles a pass for diff reasons. Im not excusing it but understand it. Lesters Informant the girl i dont see tht snirching because shes a civilian. However Orlando. Damn that guy is the utmost definition of a rat!!! I know he pissed you off. Great reaction bro
I watched this entire series two or three times since it first aired, but I didn't realize until last year that Wallace was played by Michael B. Jordan. I felt stupid as fuck when I finally realized that shit. lol
It’s all good lol he was young
As for Omar ratting, you said it yourself, he is on his own. So he is using the police as a resource to even the field. He is in a drugs war. Is there any honour amongst thieves and dealers?
But your points about snatching and avoiding responsibility were also spot on.
I personally just don’t respect it lol if you in the streets handle your business in the streets. Yes their is honor if that’s what you hold dear to you. Everybody ain’t wired like that.
Don't forget, Wallace is a kid at this point. Plus, he doesn't have the heart for the game. Of course he snitched. I know we'd all like to pretend we would do it differently. But personally, I would be scared and depressed out of my mind and I know I would snitch if I was in his position at his age.
My giving a pass, but in series 4 you’ll see a kid who is growing up to be an Omar - solo agent, just surviving
I can't watch your explanation cause it feels like you are hearing what we're saying ing the comments, but I like you reactions though.
Omar commin
Late to the party, but Omar said Brandon wasn't part of the game when the episode before he got caught he was suited up and ready to run up on people? At least warn your friends things are getting messy and they should lay low. Omar was being super emotional, not realizing what he was doing to his people and then for some reason wouldn't recognize that he was doing after it happened. I know later in the seasons he realizes this but it's so obvious from season 1
When did Omar ever say Brandon wasn't in the game?
have come to love the ractions.... love the wire. But this is.......
I appreciate that, so wats the problem?
Had to give you the thumbs up for typing a thesis into your phone.
😭😭😭 my guy, much love family
Preach on Omar! I think my last comment about him was deleted so I’ll just say you said it perfect about omar and being a rat.
Side note everyone has own opinions but stringa and avon are like brothers childhood friends. He’s not trying to take over at all. He’s basically 1b to bff avon 1a.
And I agree 100% with you about bubbles and Omar i hate them both they lack accountability think they can do anything to anybody but play victim when karma get them people just love to pick and choose and make excuses to justify shit.
hey legend!
What’s up fam, how you feeling?
Been waiting for this one, checking notifications everytime you post hoping its the wire lmao
As for the people pressing you to get The Wire out quicker, dont mind them, like you said you have a schedule and you post 7 times a week without fail, sure i'd love to see more The Wire aswell but im still here waiting even if they dont come out every week
“I can hear them perky callin... I can hear my ex callin” Future ain’t necessarily a lyricist but Damn his shit hits... ❤️💯
I completely agree lol
dude i love yor hair, how do you do that
Thank you, that’s how my hair looks when I first take my braids out. Normally keep my braids in for 2 weeks. My bad for late reply fam ✊🏾
I really like your reactions and thoughts on The Wire. The main reason why is because even if I disagree with some of them it's clear that this is something you believe in and stick by, so I have to respect that.
Stubbornness is not an admirable quality.
@@ZChoate Sure, I can see how you can look at it that way. I think there's always room to grow and change for all of us.
But I do also think that for this growth and change to happen there must be a level of understanding and respect.
@@AhmedGhazwan I was being harsh, I'll admit. You're right.
My bad for the late reply but thank you for your kind words and I appreciate your support fam! You still with me?
@@ZChoate your so right about everything Dunlop OMG 😭
Broooo at last! I am busy with school but when I have time I am gonna check out some of the other shows you react to, as your reacts are so GENUINE and NUANCED. Even when I disagree with you, I find myself sympathizing with your POV, and reevaluating my own beliefs. Keep it up dude!!
Speaking of entitlement. I guess you could say I am a typical middle class white guy lol. As a teen, my reaction to some of the wire on my first watch was WAY different than yours. Looking back as a grown man I recognize now that was because I was living with a kind of tunnel vision. Life is about expanding your perspective and trying to understand others. Only through dialogue can people come to any kind of peace ✌
Appreciate all your kind words fam ✊🏾
@@alexbaker9578 that’s dope, I love meeting and talking to people from all different walks of life with different perspectives, no matter the color. We can learn and grow from each other! I’m not right about everything I feel but I welcome being challenged by different views as long as their sound. Much love brother!
That’s what it is. Everything from Eternal is 100% genuine
@@alexbaker9578 Damn. I LOVE this comment. Much respect!
