nah you can't compare randy to namond. Randy was really the good kid in the clique, he wasn't really street nor did he try he was just down for the team. Namond on the other hand was a bitch. there have been and always will be people like him getting exposed in somebody's neighborhood. he was a busta. him bubbles and sobotkas nephew were ther worst.

Namond had serious character flaws (like picking on Dukie) which made people not resonate with him but, think about it like this.

Dude was 14. A kid. His Pops was one of the hardest niggas to step foot in Baltimore. Ate like 30 murder/drugs charges with a smile. His moms is a ghetto bird who'd rather have a drug dealer instead of a Doctor for a son. Namond was forced to live up to a name/reputation when he clearly wasn't built like that. That scene in the Boxing Gym after Mike beat his ass made me feel for the lil nigga. "Im not my dad. I can't live up to him, I can't."

All those kids got chewed up by the streets. Mike became a product of his environment. Dukie didn't have anyone to guide him or support him. Randy got caught up trying to help the police and Namond was a boy trying live up to a Man's reputation.

I did feel bad for Randy. I think I felt bad for everyone in season 4. Randy was in a spot to suceed in life, but he got fucked over. And when you see him in season 5, you see how being put back in the system changed him for the worse. He was just a damn kid, and the cops didn't protect him. He actually was a good kid.

I got really pissed when Cutty kicked Micheal out of the gym for slapping up Namond. Namond was a fucking cunt. Through and trhough.

Yea....Randy was my fav. character. It is what it is.

Micheal and Weebay

 

[bless the child]

^^^^
Least favorite. In fact, they need to release a box set with season 2 removed. I'd pay extra for that.

Yeah, this nigga was retarded as hell. Easily the dumbest character on the show although I understood why he did the things he did.

 

[bless the child]

I thought Poot shot him first, then Bodie did too. But I could be wrong though.

When Ziggy walked up in that place and Killed that Greek dude I was like "YEAAAH!!! KIIIIL HIIIM!!!" And I put my thumb down. He finally got a good hustle and the Greek guy tried to fuck him.

Nah Bodie shot Wallace first, and then Poot finished him off.

 

[Rey Negro]

niggas still scared to go to Baltimore

 

[Will Munny]

I think Michael was too smart for the streets. You could tell with all the questions he always asked. He was never meant to be just a muscle. When I shot Bodies I felt really bad, because I wanted to see him not get sucked in with Chris and Snoop. And he was molested by Bugs Dad right? Chris took extra offense to that and beat him to death, and it seemed like that was going to develop Chris character some more but it never really did.

Things that bothered me were Snoop and Bill Rawlls. Snoop just wasn't believable and her voice made me want to kill her. Bill Rawlls was in the gay bar, but they never did anything with that. Unless that was just to kinda show how his two faced nature or something along those lines. Rawlls was a cocksuckers either way. He was an asshole.

Some of yall got some fucked up memory of the show..

Slim Charles didnt end up with the connect solely they all had to chip in to make it work..

Bodie never snitched he might have considered but he never did it..

My fave characters are Avon, Michael, Bodie and Weebay..

 

[thatni99ajahmal]

naw, he neva did snitch but he told McNulty he goin snitch on Marlo. Marlo just had him knocked off b4 he got tha chance to meet w/ McNulty again. It wasn't no "consideration". Bodie was pissed that his fat ass friend got killed so he wanted Marlo and his camp to go down. Everybody except for tha ppl that worked on his corner.

This aint no "I think imma snitch" conversation he having w/ the police. This nigga was going to snitch period.

I understand all that bruh but that nigga could have woke up the next morning and decided to muscle up..

Im not sayin Marlo is wrong for killin him you gotta watch your ass but there is no such thing as a snitch with no paperwork proving he is a snitch..

 

[atribecalledgabi]

never seen the wire.....assuming it's good?

 

[Rey Negro]

The Marlo shit was so unreal.....somebody would've murdered that heartless bastard in real life. I know its niggas like that in the game but, rarely do niggas completely fuck everyone over in a heartless, cold, ruthless manner and walk away unscathed...

 

[Boo Radley]

Omar Little.

Well of course as ive stated. but the fact remains that he (and fat face rick) were the representatives of the new day co-op. meaning they were the only two who dealt with the greeks exclusively, similar to how prop joe did it, after purchasing it from marlo.

 

[DatNiggaB1]

Being from the UK have to say Stringer Bell, but Marlo was gully and Snoop was a bad bitch.

 

[DatNiggaB1]

Prop Joe was a funny muhfukka and the nigga that always said Shhhheeeeeeeeiiiiiiit.....forgot his name.

The Wire one of the greatest programs to grace my TV

Amazon, Wal-Mart, etc. etc.

True. It's funny though, Omar not only snitched, this nigga TESTIFIED in court about Byrd's murder (that he ain't even see) and nobody brings that shit up or cares. But when Bodie was 'about to' snitch on a nigga that by all accounts had no morals or code it's a fault against Bodie.

I got this from another forum, but the way Bodie went out was some poetic shit. Remember in the first season when Deangelo was explaining to Bodie (and Poot and Wallace) about the pawns moves in chess? Bodie died just like a pawn; his back was against the wall, so he couldn't move backwards, only head-up. And like a pawn he was firing at both angles where Chris and Snoop was. And he got blindsided in the one place he couldn't cover, smh.

With that said, it's a tie between Deangelo and Bodie for my fav. char.

That's a cool observation

Bodie was one of my favorite characters. Nigga was just a real dude. All around. I thought it was real fucked up how Marlo came at duke. Nigga took his block and after he built up another corner, he wanted that one too. Bodie had bad judgement riding around Baltimore with McNulty but, he ain't deserve two bullets to the head...

Randy was a character I sympathized a bit with. Reminded me of myself when i was younger. Easy going, funny and always trying to boost shit. Niggas wanna call him a snitch like he wasn't a 14 yo kid and found out he the reason some dude got murdered. That scene with him and Carver at the Hospital fucked with me for a while...He was kinda like Namond in that regard. That he really wasn't built for the street shit and it chewed him the fuck up while Namond got adopted and saved from that life...

Yeah that last scene with Randy was deep. The streets really ruined that kids life. The whole system fucked him over.

My favorite Characters were Avon, Marlo and Bodie.

Avon because of how practical he was. He was like a throwback gangster. He didn't try to be anything he wasn't. He looked out for his people the best he could and he ran his operations as smoothly as possible. He looks like a guy that truly enjoyed the lifestyle and grew up wanting to be a gangster.

What I liked about Marlo was his cold psychotic nature. He was like the ghetto Mr. Freeze. Something was wrong with him, something made his character that way. As to where Avon was a natural there was something un natural about Marlo's caracter....like maybe before he had the scar on his face he was a different kinda cat....(i know the scar is real, just sayin)

Bodie because he was your average nigga that gets down for his bread. He's the guy who got some fly gear, fly kicks, drives a civic with nice rims, lives with his moms, pops, grandma, auntie or something like that, got a baby by a hoodrat, a lil bit of bead in his pocket not too much ya know.

We prob got a bodie or two on this site. For sure you have a few Bodies & Poot(his homeboy?) in your neighborhood.

 

[Shuffington]

Prop Joe was My favorite

Chris was just cold and heartless. Killing for him was just routine.. until he found out that Michael was molested..

Omar was probably the best character for the show
