Nah i can see why cutty spit those kinds of gems at him.

he told
Him what he was good at.

And in a round about way said i cant raise you to be a man. I can teach you to fight but how you carry yourself in the streets is another realm.

Right before michael introduced dookie to cutty, michael said he would handle spider. But again dookie was to soft to flex that muscle.

also have to remember, cutty wasnt good at mentoring street nikkas. he always lost that battle.


Alot to unpack.

This is a great scene imo. Dukie's story is heartbreaking because how utterly the system fails him. And the people around him can't help because the system failed them too.

The series repeatedly shows how intelligent, resourceful, and compassionate Bubbles is. Dukie's story is to show that people that end up like Bubbles can be promising kids with futures who don't do anything wrong. Society is obsessed with blaming people's struggles on themselves. Dukie's story accurately reflects the sheer helplessness of it all.


Prolific posting.
