I feel like Bodie moved past being a pawn to being one of the major players in the game. He actually got murked by a pawn cuz Chris, Snoop, and Monk were all important parts of Marlo crew so I wouldn't consider them pawns. But the kid who killed Bodie definitely was a pawn cuz he hadn't moved across the chess board yet. I would say Bodie is the horse looking piece cuz he moved in ways different than the other pieces. He didn't move left, right, up, or down. He moved in a unique way, like around the pieces to avoid trouble. From going to working for avon, to getting work from prop joe, to finally marlo. Nobody moved in that way like Bodie did. He just wasn't the most important piece on the board so his capture didn't signal the end of the game. Shoot, even the capture of Avon didn't signal the end cuz there's always another piece on the board looking to become the king and train new pawns to become queens, and bishops, and rooks, and pawns in reserve for if or when those pieces get captured there are pawns to move up. Just like in crypto, you can choose to be a pawn, or find ways to become a bishop, rook, or other important piece of the game.
