They were already short Bird, Bey, and I think Savino was already locked up or soon to be. Avon really didnt have any muscle or any business starting up any wars.
The names in themselves are funny then there’s Avon’s reaction and Slim’s delivery 😂 Oz has a similar scene where Adibisi is interrogating DANIELS of all people and asking him about number of gangster’s names to see if he’s a police informant or not (I won’t spoil it 😉)
Reminds me of Chris trying not to let Marlo know about Omar talking shit. Stringer knows yhat Avon's obsession with the street shit is only going to set them back
At this point Stringer down deep in his heart knew that his grand plan to get Avon to see beyond the corners was not going to work. He should have taken Avon out now. Don’t wait.
@@100barbelve nobody, to King, and back to nobody when those two corner kids at the end of the show didn’t know him, then probably back to King when he takes the streets back
Congratulations to Shorty Boyd for turning his life around. Maybe that's who Ice Cube and the Lench Mob were talking about when they said "shorty joined the Nation and he don't drink no more".
I just noticed something about this scene's direction. It wasn't a 2-shot because both men are big. But since Slim is so gigantic, the only way to communicate Avon's higher position was to sit Charles down and put Avon in a bright colored shirt. This show was magnificent. Each episode was a feature film. I mean I hate that it had so many Black people killing each other. But that's life, I suppose.
The scene with Rumble Tumble Slim talking about how he couldnt get any of the OGs to work as muscle for them is one of my favorites, so I'm gonna watch again here, and then leave this comment, on a Sunday morning...
This is like a street chess with Avon going to get his corners back against Marlo with only just 2 Knights, one pawn to scout and a Queen with restricted moves. He almost won in the end but Avon lost by the time to be caught by the police just like force resigning because of the chess clock.
@@k33p1tc00lhad cutty killed fruit the entire show literally changes. Bodie lives, McNulty doesn’t go back to MC, Randy isn’t labeled a snitch and thrown back into the group home, little Kevin lives, Marlo, Chris & them don’t get locked up and Snoop doesn’t die
No at the moment he look stupid because these corners don't match what Stringer was telling him while he was Locked up. Stringer is all Cap! And his ish caught up with him, not just bro and O. The Avon and D and his Ex. He had to go.
Plot twist: none of those guys ever existed. Bell and Slim Charles invented them ALL and put them on the payroll to get the money. Their whole "muscles" was the guys in the room and Cutty.
Them corners was givin in a package deal string should’ve just said something he was in control while Avon was gone that’s how they survived and made more money i dont think Avon would’ve had a problem with that but he think yall gone ran off the corner by a pup who wouldn’t go to war after that
This just goes to show how little knowledge Stringer had outside of simple manipulation and Avon had outside of being a "street soldier." A simple history lesson would have shown them both (especially String) that in war, you need ALL your generals and troops on the same page. The minute Bodie and those guys started questioning why Stringer would say one thing and Avon would order another was the beginning of the end. Simply put, Marlo and Prop Joe didn't have a number 2 problem. When Joe finally did with Cheese, he was gone smh.
Avon - "So that's it.. no leeway, no compromise?" Eggy - "You want compromise? How's this.. Five years in the can. I wanted Lake Trout. I compromised. I ate Tuna Surprise from the prison cafeteria."
Evidently, it was mispronounced. Most of the people on that list are actual, street dudes of some capacity. But I'm told that it's actually "Shorty Boyce". I believe in the scene when Charles popped Cheese in his melon. He's the 1 who said, "this sentimental motherfucker just cost me money". That scans because whoever that is would definitely be described as extremely short. Anyway, he didn't exactly clean his whole ack up. He did, however, retired from wire. He saved some money from the street life and started a career as a professional gambler. I think he died 2-3yrs ago. That's the lore from what I gather. I have a friend who's from B-More so most of that checks out. I've done some amateur internet sleuthing to find out what was what. As you already know, The Wire was written by David Simon, an ex-police officer. The character "Prez" is based on Simon's homie, Ed Burns. I'm told that Eggy Mule (Edgar Meuller) was an Araber. I still don't understand exactly what that means but from what I've pieced together, it's guy who peddles fruit from a cart. Evidently, that gave him autonomy to move in the streets and stay relatively undetected by detectives. This all came from my trying to find out about who the hell Eggy Mule is. I think the name sounds cool.
Somebody help me understand. Was Avon and stringer equal partners or Avon was higher. I certain Avon wasn’t lower though but other than that I’m confused
In season 1, Avon was the boss, and Bell was the underboss. Much like Junior and Anthony Soprano. And like in The Sopranos, when the boss gets put in jail/house arrest, the underboss assumes all power and responsibilities. So by season 3, Stringer is the street boss in command, but Avon still has power to call shots. I believe that's one reason why Avon allowed the stringer bell hit at the end.
