So to all my Breaking Bad/The Wire fans...
- Thread starter Medulla Oblongata
- Start date
Great thread breh.
People talking about McNulty as if Lester ain't the bigger threat.
McNulty was "natural po-lice" but dude was kind of a fukk up at the same time. Lester was pretty much always on point.
The rest of the team was hit or miss.
Regardless, the biggest hurdle wouldn't be their skills as police, it would be their bosses. They practically had to beg to investigate Avon and had to break the law to catch Marlo. If McNulty walked in talking about this guy:
is a meth kingpin Rawls would've had his ass on boat duty for the entire run of "The Wire".
However, if they were given a chance Walt would be busted immediately. Lester would probably"don't get any ideas, now" at Walt's birthday party in the first episode, then he'd go work at Gray Matter.
If you really want to make this a GOAT level discussion, let's place this post-season 2 so Gus/Mike/Saul is in the mix. Things get a bit trickier then.
As far as Vic Mackeyyou guys gotta be trolling me. The only way Vic would catch a win against Walt is if he arrested or killed him immediately. All these scenarios...."Vic would intimidate Walt and make him cook for him"....."the Strike Team would threaten his family"....did you not watch "Breaking Bad"? Because that's the type of shyt that literally never worked. Any prolonged interaction with Walt is a guaranteed L....that's one of the major themes of the series.

:WHAT!:
There wasn't a single character throughout Breaking Bad's entire run that had anywhere near the same sort of raw aggression levels as Vic and his Strike Team. Even a humble pup like Lem would have put Walter or Jesse in hospital no questions asked. Vendrell was Vic no morals. The Strike team were violent as fukk. They were bullies, they beat people who said "no" up, 
. Vic Mackey talked through sheer brutality and ruthlessness not words
. What Vic wants Vic gets. Walter would end up like Armadillo if he resisted, a sucka who thought he was clever and that because he knew the "laws" inside out they could protect him, his face got put on a hot stove and he got ran out of town. When he came back, Vic had him killed in his damn police station
. Armadillo>>> Heisenberg for that matter. They would have roughed him up in the school.Walter didn't even understand how the street game worked
, that's why Combo got murked. Vic had connects and respect throughout. The local gangs didn't want to cross him and instead worked with him and fed him information. Vic was out there facilitating wars between rival gangs, giving up gang members as "gifts" and has the power and influence to put them directly on Walter.Walter would have to compromise.

Probably my biggest problem with Marlo. A rookie like Marlo knowing that the po-lice in the rooftops are watching him, yet a pro like Stringer never once assumes that cops are watching him and the rest of the organisation from the rooftops

Walt had the dea on him. The local Baltimore pd took down like 3-4 criminal empires
Real life dea would have 10 times the manpower, intelligence and money to put on the case
:WHAT!:

Walter would have to compromise.
Breh, if you're saying Vic would get Walt killed,
I already conceded that point.Anything beyond that, including intimidation, beating him up, running him out of town, threatening his family, etc....that would work until Walt pulled up on the Strike Team, popped the trunk, and unloaded the M60 on them. Then jumped out the car like
because he took ricin before hand.Which is the major, deciding difference between Vic and Walt. When shyt got too real for Vic he turned into a rat. When shyt got too real for Walt bought a machine gun. He went on a suicide mission, Vic ain't down with that kind of shyt. He'd go sit his ass at a desk long before it got to that level.
Hell, I'll even be fair and say you're right. There's a very narrow window where any of that would work. Season 1, and that's about it. By season 2 Walt had $1.2 mill at his disposal, how much do you think it would cost to get Vic killed? Power and influence mean jack shyt in the face of cold hard cash. Although knowing Walt he'd somehow get on a gang's bad side after the deal and end up with a season 5B type scenario no matter what.
So no, there would be no compromise. Vic would either take Walt out immediately, or he'd lose.
Fred.
