Most satisfying death on the Wire

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

See that’s where the line disappears because There was no scene showing Cheese giving up Joe. Cheese betraying Joe wasn’t properly built up.

Episodes were always showing how Marlo was moving in on Joe’s connect, so that’s why I side with Marlo wanting to be the main one and deciding to kill Joe. He was always obsessed with being the Kingpin. He took Bodie’s street because they were doing well. He didn’t have to do it because Bodie was independent, small fish, and would never compete with Marlo. But Marlo wanted it because he was on his Napoleon steez.

Actually there was. Joe asked Marlo if Cheese gave him up.

Actually there was. Joe asked Marlo if Cheese gave him up.

Ah yeah. But Marlo still had to get the ok to do Joe from the Connect, which he was already moving on before Cheese gave Joe up.

He gave up Prop Joe and probably told him everything. That’s why Marlo killed him. He even had to get the ok from the Greeks to kill Prop Joe so you know they needed a good reason. Joe being responsible for the shipment getting jacked was bad enough. Then you set him up to get robbed just to trick him into joining the co-op.


I’m surprised Slim killed cheese because he could’ve given slim up as well.

No, Marlo didn't get the Green light from the Greeks to hit Joe.
He played it off to them like he was uninvolved when he met them to get connected.
They saw what it was, but that didn't concern them.

No, the Greek greenlit the hit

"He's not Joe....."

 

[get these nets]

No, the Greek greenlit the hit

"He's not Joe....."

I interpret it differently.
The Greeks gain nothing by Joe being hit. In fact, because he was low key and dependable they stood to lose by dealing with an unknown.


But thanks, will go back and watch that season again.

Ran across this vid yesterday and it made a lot of sense imo.




Marlo knocking off Joe was inevitable. Dude didn't want to play 2nd or partner to nobody.

 

[Mortal1]

Nah but this is the correct answer FOR SURE.

No, the Greek greenlit the hit

You were right. It went over my head every time I watched the series, but you're right.
The Greek even used the term "insurance policy"

 

[TobiOT]

That Paedo dad that Chris merked.

Even Snoop was like

 

[KevCo]

Mike was my guy so im going with snoop…that shyt was emotional also. “Hows my hair look mike?”

Close second is cheese

 

[darealvelle]

Prop Joe for me. All that double crossing was bound to get him killed eventually.
