The Marlo/Terry wasn't quite as bad as the Herc/Battier comparison.

Lookin at that gif posted above i almost forgot how raw Bodie was.
I mean..he was a killer...
But once he got older and Marlo got in charge he had to fall back was more analytical. Not that it didnt make sense for him to mature, but him softenin up (eatin w/ mcnulty, even tho it wasnt his fault) cost him his life.

I guess we disagree a lot semantically. Bodie was never a stone cold killer. He was always the guy just trying to make it who would do what he's gotta do. He didn't soften when Marlo came into the picture. He just played his role at that time, the same way he always had. If he softened, he would have run when the hit squad came for him the same way Poot did.

Yea me sayin he was a 'killer' was a bit much. I'm just refering to that particular scene, and the very beginning of season 2 where it looked like Bodie was about to turn in a different dirction, more hardcore.
Yea that final scene is a great example. He looked at Poot like 'nah ngga i cant back down no more'. No More. Again, it was logical for him to be backin down all that time, but still...he was backin down. I guess im lookin moreso at the wrtiers softening his character thru his circumstance. He went from tellin Stringer he was ready for whatever, to goin thru similar 'tired of this shyt' feelings that Deangelo had...In contrast the writers did the opposite for Marlo. No one ever fronted on Marlo and when he went to see Avon in court & in jail they had Avon all excited like Marlo was the OG. I hated that shyt Lol I know Avon pobably saw himself in him but still...just the perception

I didn't really have a problem with Avon celebrating Marlo. He knew his run was done, so from his standpoint it was better for someone from his side to inherit the crown than for the other side to get it.

To add to the Bodie angle, during this scene, McNulty mentions, "You're a soldier", much like Stringer did in season 1. In Bodie's case, he was a disposable pawn, both sides wanted to use him for their own means, be it to do work and run the street crews, or provide information to the cops, he had no real say in his life. The same can pretty much be said about McNulty in this scene as he is engaging in a futile war on drugs and an impotent bureaucracy which alters statistics in order to keep politicians happy.
Again, that tied into D'Angelo's explanation of the chess game in the pit from season 1, "The King stay the King".
What is wonderful about that scene is both characters, McNulty and Bodie are caught in the same vicious game where they are mere canon fodder and literally are on a chessboard (though it is really an Arboretum) that are controlled by Kings (this case you can name the King, be it the US Government, Baltimore, City Hall, etc.)....The point is you can't even touch them with the connections they have ie (The Greeks)
David Simon is a genius and the little nuances are to great to name, but a criminally underrated show.

my season 6 storylines suggestions:
* Avon gets out of jail and tries to get back in the game
* Marlo tries to go legit (key word= tries lol)
* Michael basically replacing Omar to an extent
* Mcnulty and Freamon get back to doin real police work and begin a case against the Greeks
* Omar comes back from the dead................
just joking, that's some soap opera shit lmao
