"Now he gon' be at us".. I love how Omar became an almost mythical character on the streets. Like they felt genuinely threatened and worried about one man. Such a great character
It's also great the way by this point we're all rooting for him. When he was introduced he seemed like bad news on an epic scale. By this time, we all love him and wish him well.
Omar was in his 30s.. he said earlier that he’d been ripping and running since he was a teenage. So that’s nearly 2 decades of reputation and experience he’s built up.
D D do you have actual proof that this is true or is it just something you mindlessly say because you want that to be true to justify your hate of Americans?
@@dd.4910 Damn I guess me and my peers missed out, we didnt get to shoot any brown kids. All we got to do was train local law enforcement and teach them how to dig wells.
Whoever came up with the "that's some Spiderman shit there" line should've gotten a raise 😂 the way Jamie acted when he said that, like he's a philosopher hahaha
I love the look on Marlo's face when he looked up at that high window, looked at the ground under the window and then looked at Chris like WTF??? That expression was priceless!!!
I think he was just super-pissed that Chris and co. let Omar escape. That look is him checking to see if Chris has a reaction to how ridiculous it is that Omar escaped...almost like a “how did you not kill him, bruh?!?!”
To be fair, Chris is in an ideal position. He's clearly a trained killer, and Marlo trusts him enough to take his advice at several moments. He's both the general and the grand vizier, all while it's Marlo's ass sitting on the throne with the sword of Damocles hanging over him instead of Chris.
@@JimmySteller i hear you but he's also the one getting life for all the bodies while Marlo walks. Chris is a soldier, not a mastermind. I am willing to bet that Marlo killed Chris' father/abuser (the way Chris took out Bugs').
Chris looks a good 3 or 4 years older to me. My theory is that they were childhood friends who always planned to be kingpins and Chris joined the military to get training, while Marlo built up a powerbase/reputation on the streets. Something like that actually happened a few rimes, most notably with Ice-T and his friends.
With all the great acting by both men, I have always felt this to be a miscast. Imagine Chris as Kingpin and Marlo as executioner. The charisma of (the actor playing) Chris is just too grand to make it plausible he looks up to someone with the teenager posture of (Jamie Hector playing) Marlo. It's the only case of miscasting in the Wire - and I hate to say that because all of these actors have done an amazing job.
When you make MARLO STANFIELD double-take in shock, you know you're hardcore. I love how he looks up at where Chris is pointing... looks at the flower beds... then looks at Chris like "Are you fucking serious?!". Jamie did so much with so little when it came to Marlo. Great work, dude.
Jamie s best scene, by far. Better than My name is My name. He sells his utter surprise and concern so well in this. And the Marlo persona, Jamie cemented this character in flesh more than the plot and the script could, at least in here.
@@holyreality02 Did you watch the show??? If you did, you would know they didn't search the building. That was a vacant they searched, NOT the same building.
Yeah they were a team them three for sure . Mike who they really wanted wasn't really 💯 one of them . They were ruthless and was them against the world mike wasn't ruthless enough. They in their really violent way did him a favour with the father of the brother and mike didn't really become one of them . He was ruthless and well able but not like them . They were really bad crew but they were loyal to each other. Chris took the brunt of the charges in the end though but that's in the life they lived .
im surprised no one mentioned this so i will mention it. the real omar little jumped from 2 stories higher than what the wire shows us. how sick is that? true spiderman shit right there son.
He must have scrubbed off some speed by hitting trees or something; there was a guy in ww2 who bailed out of a plane, chute failed, but he just happened to hit some shrubs or trees right & lived, from ,like, thousands of feet up.no lie.
Yeah they thought it would seem too unrealistic for the show so they had him jump from a few floors lower than how it happened in real life, thats a trip.
Like how calmly Marlo took that. Didn't get mad or nothing. "Missed our shot. Now, he gonna be at us" (Walks away) Think it speaks to how much he respects Chris and his skill set. He knows if Chris could have handled it, it would have been done. Really, that was a thousand-to-one turn of events. No one could have seen that spiderman shit coming
Frank Peter Interesting point, but I respectfully disagree. His tone and body language suggest confusion and acceptance rather than disappointment. We see evidence that Marlo genuinely liked and respected Chris so I don’t think he blames him.
As someone who worked extra hours and cared about my work, I experienced that at first when you fuck up, your boss gets really mad, but as he figures out that you are giving in your 100%, and then you fuck up, he just acts like he doesn't care and it's like 'well, now this is going to happen because of your mistake' in a really calm way, and then walks off, without you ever facing any consequences; something like that makes you realize your mistake and you feel bad about it after, in a way that him yelling at you and being angry won't ever do, this is a normal boss tactic.
It’s just the subtle things with The Wire that makes it so great. The way Marlo looks at Chris at 2:25 in disbelief like, “You mean to tell me he survived that?” 😂
That is the sad fact about the gangs, drugs, and the inner city. Its a vicious cycle that continues to this day. This is one of the reasons I love the Wire because it doesn't pull any punches, doesn't have a happy ending and shows the reality of life on the streets.
I think Marlo was a lil scared of Omar. Remember how happy he was to hear Omar got killed while Chris and Snoop looked Disappointed that it wasn't them. Omar had Marlo under pressure. That's why Chris never told Marlo what Omar was saying about him because if Marlo found out he would get in his feelings and try to show people he was hard and then Omar would have smoked him.
Datruthshines I agree. Even though it was a little anti-climatic that Omar and Marlo didn't have that show down at the end, Omar seemed to have Marlo's number. Omar did an effective job at tearing down Marlo's 'name' and was actually the beginning of the end for Marlo as the 'street' wondered why Marlo wasn't dealing with Omar, when Omar was calling him out. Omar was subtly, but powerfully undermining Marlo's 'street cred'. He basically took care of Marlo's 'legacy', as Omar ended up the 'legend' and everyone forgot about Marlo, not even being recognized by the street guys at the end of season 5, while singing Omar's praises...
Indeed. Marlo was winning by everyone’s ,standards but not Omar, who called him out. Omar was undermining Marlo’s reputation, hence his fury re: “my name is my name”.
He wanted that body and hearing a kid got to Omar just blindsided the hell outta Chris...Just like that, it was over and he'll never have the satisfaction of bodying Omar...PRICELESS😂
The Stanfield organisation could have made the perfect cast for a sitcom, Marlo and Chris looking up to the balcony then down like the dorks they are, Snoop acting like a sobbing sister when looking for Omar and ofcourse Monk being civilised in a suit only to drop the act at the end lol
Lol look how Marlo walks off after talking to Chris. He was pissed off at his second in command for letting him down without even having to say a word. It's little subtle acts like this that made this such a great character. The actor really nailed the kingpin sociopath act.
Him comparing it to a comic-book is the icing on the cake...by saying “that’s some Spider-Man shit,” makes it clear to Chris that it’s almost FAKE how they didn’t kill him, highlighting his disappointment.....
"We missed our shot. Now he gonna be at us." Chris had already told you that but you never seem to want to listen to your right hand. Just like the card game.
Partlow wears military style leather boots and often woodland camo suggesting that he may have served in the military in the 1990s. In season 4 when the crew was having target practice in the creek, Partlow had a stance that would suggest he has some prior training. Got this from thewirefandomwiki but I agree with this.
+juniorfrid Williams really made that jump and fucked his leg up. He's a notoriously known committed method actor. During season one, Williams couldn't even be on set when a Barksdale scene was taking place because he'd just barge in and start robbing them. They had to lock him in his trailer.
Donnie Andrews - the guy they based Omar on, and with whom Omar ambushed Monk's apartment - actually jumped out of a 6th floor window and all he did was spraining his ankle. They changed it to a 3rd or 4th floor in the show because that "don't seem possible".
Heman Roczko yup sure is. When Marlo first said he wanted Omar, Chris told him he was retired, trying to subtly talk him out of going after him because he was gone and wasn’t gonna be a problem anymore. Chris didn’t want that smoke, he was content to let sleeping dogs lie, rather than create a problem where there wasn’t one, but Marlo in his butthurt over being robbed, couldn’t let it go. His ego was too fragile to let any affront to his dominance slide. And it resulted in the fall of his organization. A whole empire ruined because of hurt feelings.
Sickof GuysnamedTodd Facts. Chris can definitely handle Omar though. He just didn’t want to create unnecessary smoke. Omar is highly skilled of course, but Chris just gets the edge he’s a maniac.
Marlo’s thinking was that if someone robs you, if you don’t kill them, it negatively affects your reputation around town. “Crown don’t mean much if the *** wearing it keeps getting shit took” And “Robs me and the whole world know? He’s got to fall.” Both Marlo. If one person punks you and they don’t face the consequences then soon everyone will think they can do the same because you look weak.
The way Marlo looks at Chris when he is trying to figure out how the fuck Omar survived that jump LOL Like "are you seriously telling me this nigga jumped from that high?"
1:45 Snoop checked: Mercy Johns Hopkins Maryland General Union Memorial Sinai Harbor Bon Secours University She checked all the damn hospitals in B More. 😂😂
After breaking his leg. Who does that? And he waited it out for hours in pain. That's another reason they didn't expect him to be there. Who could sustain a jump from that high, get up from it, and not go some place to get help ASAP? Omar.
@@NITE-KLUB I mean.... I broke my collarbone and kept punching. And I refused all painkillers at the hospital. And as a kid I broke my arm i also refused all painkillers even tylenol
@@theimmortalsleazus8057 lmao, respect, it does happen in real life, as this scene did happen irl and was based off of true events. I too, have been through extremely painful events without receiving anything for pain. Seconds pass like hours, it feels like torture. But here, Omar was in the middle of a shoot out. Imagine the adrenaline pumping, choosing your best odds of survival are jumping out of the window of a building multiple stories up, actually surviving, and then making the decision and moving quickly enough to re-enter the building and find the janitor closet and go a few days without ANY help? Forget something for the pain, a cast to set things into position, something to stop the swelling, something to calm him nerves, etc. Like I said, every second feels like hours and he spent over 20 hours in there, and when he got out, still didn't get help right away. Just focused on survival. But ay, that sucks about your situation - I feel we all have similar stories like that to a degree, you'd be surprised. "The quiet things no one ever knows".
This scene solidified the fear and confusion they had of Omar in my opinion. Marlo has heard the legends and has encountered him up close; hell, Omar even had Slim Charles shook. Chris is even more noticeably at a loss of words or explanation as well besides the spider man comment.
When that guy says to Chris in the beginning, "Gotta be somewhere, wanna keep going?" I legit thought Chris was gonna turn around and shoot the guy lol
+Goncas RC Do yourself a favor , and take this as an excuse to binge watch The Wire and see what all the fuss was about. This show is by far the realest show ever.
I don't mind Omar not taking out one of the Stanfield crew, he was outnumbered and it's not like he had a shootout with amateurs. The only thing I really mind about this whole thing is why Omar went in. I mean, did he really think Monk was alone in that apartment?
+MrEnjoyBeats I feel you, but that's also one of the great things about this show...making examples of human error and weakness. Even the most baddest of asses make costly mistakes sometimes. To me, stuff like this kept the show credible. I will agree with you that it was a hell of a mistake and totally out of character for Omar. I think it was the fact that he was just dying to get at them.
Rishard Morgan " I think it was the fact that he was just dying to get at them." I think that was it too, but even that doesn't give me enough closure though lol, that mistake bothers me.
+mikem987 I'd say that's due in large part to Marlo changing how the Game worked. Omar was used to things being the way they were - his reputation was his armor. Then Marlo's crew moves up and, hey, turns out they kinda don't care. Meant he overestimated what he could pull off and get away with it.
I always assumed that Omar let his anger over Butchie get the better of him at this point. So he wasn't as methodical as he once was. Openly walking around and taking corners, dropping people in the middle of the street etc. Plus while Avon's crew grossly underestimated him, Marlo knew full well what he was dealing with. Note the surprise on Chris' face when a nobody killed Omar.
#LEGENDARY The Wire is going to go down as a cult classic for are generation 80's baby's all day September 12th 1987, Virgo all day & 2morrow. Tuning in from Wilmington (Murdertown) Delaware 2019.
As sociopathic as Marlo is... without Chris he couldn't have held the crown. Chris is the calmest, nicest evilest man in all of television. If Marlo knew Omar was calling him out, Marlo's pride would have drew him out and Omar would've got him. Chris kept Marlo in the game.
Once, just once, I wish I could do something incredible that defies the odds where people would say about me "That some Spider-Man shit there." Would be worth the broken leg.
Snoop is real, and a lot of her story is incorporated into her seasons. For example, the power tools she got at home depot, except they were her grandfather's in real life iirc. She has an autobiography out about her life in the streets as a gang member that she wrote while she was in jail iirc. Her accent was so thick in some scenes, they had to redub it so the audience could understand what she was saying.
Marlo is a calm cold collected sociopath. This war is like a game for him. Chess pieces moving around and he thought he had the opposing king checked. He took his shot and missed and now he has to line up his chess pieces to defend his king (himself). Which goes to the chess theme of the wire ♟
"Now he gon' be at us".. I love how Omar became an almost mythical character on the streets. Like they felt genuinely threatened and worried about one man. Such a great character

Marlo’s thinking was that if someone robs you, if you don’t kill them, it negatively affects your reputation around town.
“Crown don’t mean much if the *** wearing it keeps getting shit took”
And
“Robs me and the whole world know? He’s got to fall.”
Both Marlo.
If one person punks you and they don’t face the consequences then soon everyone will think they can do the same because you look weak.
Women at hospital desk is Fine real fine!!!
1:00 Officer Monk haha
+das it mane "Yea. Yea she good."
ggets me every damn time lmfao hahahahahahahaha
It's a jungle out there
Lol he would be a detective not an officer
Just realized you can see the evolution of Marlo from baggy clothes to clothes that fit.
2:23 will always be my favorite Marlo moment. Dude was like Mf are you kidding me?
also the way in which he says: "now he is gonna be at us" and the way he walks away then
When you come at the king, you best not miss!
That's what Omar said 💪🏾
The way Marlo looks at Chris when he is trying to figure out how the fuck Omar survived that jump LOL
Like "are you seriously telling me this nigga jumped from that high?"
"he was kina you know... high. prolly messed up his name..."
hahaha
Chris running around corners and THEN pointing his gun. 😂
"Is the woman alright?" "Huh?" 🤣
She good 😁
1:45 Snoop checked:
Mercy
Johns Hopkins
Maryland General
Union Memorial
Sinai
Harbor
Bon Secours
University
She checked all the damn hospitals in B More. 😂😂
omar is a goon, quick thinker. went back into the same building. wow. nobody who have guess
After breaking his leg. Who does that? And he waited it out for hours in pain. That's another reason they didn't expect him to be there. Who could sustain a jump from that high, get up from it, and not go some place to get help ASAP? Omar.
@@NITE-KLUB I mean.... I broke my collarbone and kept punching. And I refused all painkillers at the hospital. And as a kid I broke my arm i also refused all painkillers even tylenol
@@theimmortalsleazus8057 damn you hard
@@theimmortalsleazus8057 lmao, respect, it does happen in real life, as this scene did happen irl and was based off of true events. I too, have been through extremely painful events without receiving anything for pain. Seconds pass like hours, it feels like torture.
But here, Omar was in the middle of a shoot out. Imagine the adrenaline pumping, choosing your best odds of survival are jumping out of the window of a building multiple stories up, actually surviving, and then making the decision and moving quickly enough to re-enter the building and find the janitor closet and go a few days without ANY help? Forget something for the pain, a cast to set things into position, something to stop the swelling, something to calm him nerves, etc.
Like I said, every second feels like hours and he spent over 20 hours in there, and when he got out, still didn't get help right away. Just focused on survival. But ay, that sucks about your situation - I feel we all have similar stories like that to a degree, you'd be surprised. "The quiet things no one ever knows".
Marlo was some inspired casting. He doesn't look like a tough guy or even a big guy. But he radiates leadership and intelligence. Great choice.
He radiates pure sociopathy.
Notice how he said Spiderman shit and not Miles Morales shit. Real recognised real.
😂😂😂😂
"Now he gon be at us" gotta give it to Omar. Had the two biggest king pins worried lol even they know about Omar
This scene solidified the fear and confusion they had of Omar in my opinion. Marlo has heard the legends and has encountered him up close; hell, Omar even had Slim Charles shook. Chris is even more noticeably at a loss of words or explanation as well besides the spider man comment.
TrueTrife
no there no fear. all it did was show how shocked they were they he might of survived
The scene where Omar realizes that Slim is a mensch is one of the greatest ever.
When that guy says to Chris in the beginning, "Gotta be somewhere, wanna keep going?" I legit thought Chris was gonna turn around and shoot the guy lol
The look on Marlo’s face when he breaks his cool composure in shock at what he is being told. Lolol
"He did a Peter Pan right off this dam, right here"
That's the one!
I didn’t kill my wife
Bro.lol
Omar don't scare.. Looks like Marlo does.
1:38 snoop is like "You're lucky your beautiful bitch".
Ok so I was bored and wrote spiderman shit on the youtube search and this came up. Now I'm confused
+Goncas RC Do yourself a favor , and take this as an excuse to binge watch The Wire and see what all the fuss was about. This show is by far the realest show ever.
+Rishard Morgan lets hope he took on. Your advice, if he did, he should name his first son after you sir !
I was hoping that Omar would drop Marlo & his cold blooded ass
Nigga, can you shut your dumb ass up already?
Omar was the best character in the wire!! PERIOD!!!
officer smith mam.. lol
The best part, when Marlo said with a deadass straight face, " That's some Spiderman shit there."
1:45 I can’t with Snoop and her pen and pad 😂😂😂😂
That's some Spider-Man shit there.
REST IN PEACE OMAR MAN THESE WIRE VIDEOS BOUT TO HIT DIFFERENT SINCE YOU GONE 😪 wow i can’t believe this
They should make Omar a Marvel character. 🤔
David B the hood punisher
The Wire - a show so sick it has a casual MCU crossover
Same wit Chris
David B Booty warrior
David B yeah he's called the punisher
Monk went from Officer Smith to "yeah she good" out of pure frustration.
I don't mind Omar not taking out one of the Stanfield crew, he was outnumbered and it's not like he had a shootout with amateurs. The only thing I really mind about this whole thing is why Omar went in. I mean, did he really think Monk was alone in that apartment?
+MrEnjoyBeats It as out of character. Omar didn't really have his "A Game" in the 5th Season. Omar lacked that element of surprise in the 5th season.
+MrEnjoyBeats I feel you, but that's also one of the great things about this show...making examples of human error and weakness. Even the most baddest of asses make costly mistakes sometimes. To me, stuff like this kept the show credible.
I will agree with you that it was a hell of a mistake and totally out of character for Omar. I think it was the fact that he was just dying to get at them.
Rishard Morgan " I think it was the fact that he was just dying to get at them."
I think that was it too, but even that doesn't give me enough closure though lol, that mistake bothers me.
+mikem987
I'd say that's due in large part to Marlo changing how the Game worked.
Omar was used to things being the way they were - his reputation was his armor. Then Marlo's crew moves up and, hey, turns out they kinda don't care. Meant he overestimated what he could pull off and get away with it.
I always assumed that Omar let his anger over Butchie get the better of him at this point. So he wasn't as methodical as he once was. Openly walking around and taking corners, dropping people in the middle of the street etc. Plus while Avon's crew grossly underestimated him, Marlo knew full well what he was dealing with. Note the surprise on Chris' face when a nobody killed Omar.
Monk totally forgot that cop sh!t once that lady couldn’t tell him anything.
0:02 Me, when they took The Wire off the air.
Lmao
😂😂😂😂😂
#LEGENDARY The Wire is going to go down as a cult classic for are generation 80's baby's all day September 12th 1987, Virgo all day & 2morrow. Tuning in from Wilmington (Murdertown) Delaware 2019.
My favorite line from the series.. "That's some Spiderman shit there"
I love how unrealistic Omar's antics get at the end, literally acting like a superhero. Makes his death all the more impactful.
As sociopathic as Marlo is... without Chris he couldn't have held the crown. Chris is the calmest, nicest evilest man in all of television. If Marlo knew Omar was calling him out, Marlo's pride would have drew him out and Omar would've got him. Chris kept Marlo in the game.
I just noticed, Snoop has a bloody shirt.
Once, just once, I wish I could do something incredible that defies the odds where people would say about me "That some Spider-Man shit there." Would be worth the broken leg.
monk will always crack me up with the casual "yeah she good"
played that detective part real well lmao, fkn nubcake
Even the clearing with a pump is accurate. Jesus this show was gold.
The gardening lady didn't hear anything unusual? There was a wild shootout back there!
That Baltimore accent tickles me so much. Sounds normal except for the "U" sounds. "Excuse", "Do", "Knew"...
you would have a ball with some of my cousins from the city
definitely southern influenced
*Too
Exactly
Snoop is real, and a lot of her story is incorporated into her seasons. For example, the power tools she got at home depot, except they were her grandfather's in real life iirc. She has an autobiography out about her life in the streets as a gang member that she wrote while she was in jail iirc.
Her accent was so thick in some scenes, they had to redub it so the audience could understand what she was saying.
Marlo outfought everyone. Even the law.
Marlo face at 2:26 was that Wtf is he unkillable face 😂🏃
Marlo’s face when Chris points to the 5th floor 😂😂😂😂
chris mighty aggresive aiming that shotty lmaooo
Omar had the makings of a varsity athlete
Lol Funny AF
So watchu want us to dew?
Partlow should know to clear the corners.
And LOL at him trying to slam an automatic-close trunk. That's not how any of them work!
You come at the king, you best not miss
hands messy with pizza, trawling youtube for wire clips cos I lent my mum the box set. good times :D
Shut up.
Tracy Panavia hhehehhe love it :)
Chris was definitely ex military.
1:57 so whatchu want us to DEW
Marlo is a calm cold collected sociopath. This war is like a game for him. Chess pieces moving around and he thought he had the opposing king checked. He took his shot and missed and now he has to line up his chess pieces to defend his king (himself). Which goes to the chess theme of the wire ♟
