Nah cause Mike was naturally a transplant. Your boys will always be your boys but if you don't chase what you want....but I'm a hopeless romantic I woulda went to NY. I woulda got off that train in Love Jones. I woulda doubled or nothing in Love and Basketball 😂😂
this kind of touch base on the saying that *men marry who’s convenient*. by him getting drunk and going to his ex, it shows that’s where he really wants to be, but he doesn’t have the leverage to do so, so he’s settling. Lisa happens to be right in front of him when he decides to get married, so even if he isn’t TRULY in love with her, she’s conveniently there so why not? a lot of men have settled for this exact reason. not only that.. had he had cold feet PRIOR to the wedding day, there would’ve been more room for understanding.. but the day OF? I’m with Lisa’s friends.. he would’ve got cold feet and mine would’ve got frost bitten. if you truly loved me, this day wouldn’t have made you make this foolish decision.
Slim is the man that marries @ like 40-50+ ;; a woman he's been with off and on since college, that either nobody really knew about, or nobody thought he was truly serious about. Lol. Or they never officially marry, but eventually commit & have a like-Common Law Lifelong Partner Ship type shihh. 😄.. which is cool too !
OG This is a dope concept, keep up all the great work. iThink it’ll be dope if y’all actually watch a movie and give commentary/fan theories as the movie plays. That way viewers can further and/or better understand exactly where y’all coming from and the points being made. Now iDont know how the copyrights and youtube guidelines go for doing something like that but, that’s just a thought🤷🏾♂️. Either way I’m loving the content y’all putting out. Keep it coming!
Shiid...Mike still in LA and Alicia is in NY cause they are adults with lives that have already moved on..if it was that deep they would've figured this out during college lmao...I believe Mike moved so much throughout his childhood that I don't see him moving from the most stability he has ever had just to pursue a relationship that was fun in high school 😂 hell if it was that deep he would've went to college in NY like Roland said. And I can't see Alicia moving back to familiarity when she is succeeding (from what we see) in new environments...remember she been in the wood her whole life with a gang banging brother...she ain't trying to go back to that 😂
Stacie came from a good home but wanted to be in the streets based off the house and the petty theft, he was also a Blood which is predominately in Inglewood but, 1 thing I can say Stacie is the older sibling so they coulda moved outta the hood to a nicer neighborhood by the Alicia was born or got older
I think they started dating long-distance at first and then. Both of them started visiting each other. He would fly to New York and she would fly to Cali. They eventually made their decision when it got serious as to who was moving where
I don’t think they Roland and Lisa marriage ended up working out because Roland wasn’t even ready to be married in the first place. I think he ended up cheating a lot. But it could’ve worked out because Mike did Lisa that he known Roland for 13 years And that he never seen Roland look at someone the way he looks at her but I wouldn’t be surprised if Roland ended up messing with his first love Tanya (the one who house he was at before the wedding) I think Mike and Alicia worked out. I think that was the only relationship that worked out because they were childhood sweethearts. They were soulmates. I think that Slim ended up being a bachelorette and never settle down. And just messing with a whole bunch of women or he could’ve found the right one Slim seem like the type to have to actually be in love to settle down. He was already said what happened to Stacy the same person who directed and wrote this movie is the same person who wrote the movie dope in 2015 Stacy was in the movie. He was a security guard at the high school he reprise his role from the wood.
I don’t see the marriage working out the man had cold feet the day of was drunk had to be coerced into an apology . I give that marriage five years and he cheating
I'm 33 and recently had a few months with my high school crush things got intimate... the whole wanting to be together thing happen for a while but we are completely different people now then what we was back then...I guess the honeymoon phase is completely different when you have old feelings
They forgot a few songs that should be in the Wood, 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 like Guy piece of my love, Keith Sweat Right and Wrong Way, Make it last forever, Adore by Prince, Cybil Don't Make me over, Supersonic by JJ Fad, Whatever you want by Toni Tony Tone😎😎😎😎😎
If I Was Mike, New York Is a No No… I love ❤️ New York. Though Not More Than California! Slim Or Ravidio Take your Pick Was My Guy! We Share Sort of the Same Character Traits. Rollin Was Cool. Looks Like He Could of Been In New Edition.. The Young Version of Ro. Stacey: No Zig Zag No Drig Drag!!
I think the men are probably looking at it from a real world perspective and the women are caught up in the romance of it all. We want to believe that they made work in the end, got back together, but I can see the other point too. There’s a lot of factors at play.
Mike seemed to be the level headed of the bunch... the weddng brought up the sweet memories... they definitely chatted... maybe they visited each other a couple times
With the crew. I think the point of the movie was to show pivotal moments throughout their lives. Time jump to time jump. I think the time they’re in currently is realizing that they all gotta grow up and move forward with their lives. It’s time to start making some decisions about marriage, career, and how you want to live your life. I think the boys were wrong to chastise him about getting married in the beginning but I think with time, especially with the events that happened that day, they are starting to realize that things will inevitably change and that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. That’s why I want to believe that Roland worked it out with Lisa but who knows 🤷🏽♀️
Man… their marriage def wouldn’t have lasted if it was built on such a faulty foundation (wedding day) and also it was a definite mistake for her to go through with it.
I definitely don’t think the Alicia and Mike got together in the end. That’s just wishful hopeful, romantic optimistic thinking. In real life, he would’ve just left with the memories. Yeah he might’ve visited her in New York but I doubt very seriously that he would’ve uprooted his life for her, a girl, he was trying to fuck all throughout high school ….😂😂😂😂 Plus Hait is saying exactly, how men think as well men so…..
I don't think its wrong for them to express their feelings about being a bit jealous/feeling the growing pains of Ro getting married.. its moreso about how they said it, & how they're actions reflected it. Ro ain't gotta do what they want. But its a necessary convo
Mike definitely moved to New York he clearly was in love and he was hurt when Ro bought up the fact that he didn’t leave with her after everything he realized he needed and wanted her also Ro was tripping how you now wanna marry Lisa Ray fine ass 😂 last thing when Ro was talking about everything he might be losing I believe Mike has similar thought as Ro that’s why he didn’t go with Alicia he was afraid of starting over again he finally felt like he belong in the wood
I voted 'Yes' Stacey is a hardcore gangster..because of the potential consequences of his actions that night at the carry out.1.)He could have been robbing a place that was protected by a rival gang.2.)The shop owner could have shot and killed them.3.) The police could have arrested or killed them anytime during the conversation..or after a search of the car. The movie gave the scenario a comedic take,but it for sure could have played out more like Menace 2 Society.Yes,Stacey's friend was too scary to be 'hardcore'..from what I hear,that is usually the one who gets the whole crew in a jam!
@@AxiomAmnesia yeah he got the numbers but when it came time to get the drawls he was too thirsty. The person that got the least numbers was the one that got the drawls. As slim grew up he had him a lil glow up
Alright this is my theory on Slim- I think that’s he’s actually queer - Hear me out , He never has a girlfriend in High school they don’t even mention it - The writer made sure to present , the other boys with girlfriends at some point if he was playa the writer would have showed girl coming in and out of his life - Granted you do see, him attempt to hook up with a girl but that happens with a lot of queer folks . I think this attractive man without a girlfriend never having been married , I think we can’t rule out that perhaps he was queer his friends new but they didn’t talk about it
& Stacy likely robbed that store because he knew he could.. Seem like it was the neighborhood store. So the owners prolly were fond of him, and thee other local families & youth.. Enough for Stacy to know they wouldn't be armed themselves & it would be a smooth lick
By women's secrets, I meant things that women discuss amongst themselves. However, I don't speak for all women in the culture, nor do I think that all or even most women discuss these things. If they did, you wouldn't see half the foolishness that you see in the culture today. I simply shared my anecdotal experiences. So no, I don't think that's the problem with the culture. Nevertheless, I won't allow you to turn this into a men against women thing because that is not what this is. Hopefully that's not where you're headed with this... -Cheri
I just have to ask.. was the movie REALLY about Roland & Lisa? Or was it about Mike and his journey, experiences, and lessons learned while being in THE WOOD? 🤔
Is it unrealistic to think that Mike might have moved to NYC to be with Alicia after the film stopped rolling?
Yes, because I really believe Mike had much appreciation of the nostalgia and reminiscing.
Couldn't wait for this
If he has a lucrative career in the Wood, HELL YEAH it’s unrealistic !! I’m not up rooting my life on a what if from my past.
I reminisce alot too!!! Especially after Covid 19 and gentrification happened.
Nah cause Mike was naturally a transplant. Your boys will always be your boys but if you don't chase what you want....but I'm a hopeless romantic I woulda went to NY. I woulda got off that train in Love Jones. I woulda doubled or nothing in Love and Basketball 😂😂
My name is Mike I'm from North Cuhlina and I like sports and that's it 😆
Stacy is a reformed gang member as we saw in Dope
OG
The Wood is one of those films that really stood the test of time especially going into the new millennium.
It certainly did!
Mike could have had overly sentimental feelings because of the wedding.
Thanks!
I graduated from high-school the year this movie came out... A classic...
Tanya was def the side piece.She should not have even let him in her house ,the day of the wedding.
You guys are gold. Nobody breaks down these classic movies better than you two
Thank you!!!
Yes Lawd! This came at the perfect time! Thank you!
Perfect!!!! And by the way, one of your comments is featured in this video!!! :-)
@Axiom Amnesia really? That's dope! And I'm a subscriber now too & I sent a cashapp. I'm really a big fan of yall videos💯💙
They way you break down these movies is so dope!
Thank you!
You can actually see what happened to Stacy later on in the film Dope. He ends up being a security guard.

OG!!!! I can't tell you how much I look forward to new content from you both!!!
Thank you!!! 😊
Nah, Roland wasn’t seeing Tanya. He just ran to his ex’s crib to chill. She had a man. They wore his clothes after the wash down.
Nah bro, he ran there to cheat. He was trying to hit the entire time, Tanya just wasn’t going.

Than went to jail & got rape in lockdown
OG! On point as always! Great job guys!!👍🏾
OG This was a good discussion.
I think they started dating long-distance at first and then. Both of them started visiting each other. He would fly to New York and she would fly to Cali. They eventually made their decision when it got serious as to who was moving where
The younger Mike was on power book 2 this past Friday

Actions Speak! If their actions don't align with their words...pay attention
Been Waiting On This One 💯
I'm 33 and recently had a few months with my high school crush things got intimate... the whole wanting to be together thing happen for a while but we are completely different people now then what we was back then...I guess the honeymoon phase is completely different when you have old feelings
I think people change over time and you never really know if it's gonna be a good fit with a high school crush.
"Breaking up the crew" i took it that they have a standing meet up... like the fellas on The Brothers with Basketball
Mike had a Consistency of being 'different'. I think he would've moved for Ole Girl .. not sure if it would have lasted
29:55 you do support your friends but you feel a way cause your normal is changing

What if Slim turned out similar to his character in how did I get married? lol
😆
27:01 they could have just been bachelors
I don't think its wrong for them to express their feelings about being a bit jealous/feeling the growing pains of Ro getting married.. its moreso about how they said it, & how they're actions reflected it. Ro ain't gotta do what they want. But its a necessary convo
OG 👏🏿
He respects Mike since the robbery so he would have closed the door . If it was another dude he’d get beat down.
Well technically they are already married legally you have your have a license and the ceremony come after.
Mike definitely moved to New York he clearly was in love and he was hurt when Ro bought up the fact that he didn’t leave with her after everything he realized he needed and wanted her also Ro was tripping how you now wanna marry Lisa Ray fine ass 😂 last thing when Ro was talking about everything he might be losing I believe Mike has similar thought as Ro that’s why he didn’t go with Alicia he was afraid of starting over again he finally felt like he belong in the wood
OG.
Maybe they had a long distance relationship for a while and then made any life plans after they decided if it was worth it..
My dad said Young Mike looks like me then when I had my afro
I voted 'Yes' Stacey is a hardcore gangster..because of the potential consequences of his actions that night at the carry out.1.)He could have been robbing a place that was protected by a rival gang.2.)The shop owner could have shot and killed them.3.)

Forget all that y'all' smokin if y'all really believe Stacey would not have put hands on Mike if he would have caught them together at the house
Slim was not able to pull women back in the day now he is a eligible bachelor
Michael, were any of them able to pull women? Slim got plenty of phone numbers the night of the dance.
@@AxiomAmnesia yeah he got the numbers but when it came time to get the drawls he was too thirsty. The person that got the least numbers was the one that got the drawls. As slim grew up he had him a lil glow up
OG!
8:17 he was in love with her from the first day
Alright this is my theory on Slim- I think that’s he’s actually queer - Hear me out ,
He never has a girlfriend in High school they don’t even mention it - The writer made sure to present , the other boys with girlfriends at some point if he was playa the writer would have showed girl coming in and out of his life - Granted you do see, him attempt to hook up with a girl but that happens with a lot of queer folks . I think this attractive man without a girlfriend never having been married , I think we can’t rule out that perhaps he was queer his friends new but they didn’t talk about it

IT WAS JUST A MOVIE'....SO WE'LL NEVER KNOW 🤷.... 😂😂😂😂😂😂....💯✌️
Sounds like self sabotage to me..maybe he didn’t feel he deserves it 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️

Lisa Raye so damn fine
It should’ve been the wood 2 smh

I thought y’all was gangsters??
