o-dog killed bodie 

Such a crazy and sad scene but that shit made me laugh when he said that 😂

Chris and snoop would walk people into the vacants to do them. They knew they wouldn’t be able to do that with bodie. They took him serious lowkey

@@radricdavis8508 No I think he won that battle but lost the war. End of the day he got got.

A real fool!

@@vincent5318how was he a fool? Did you even watch the show 😂😂this was bound to happen since day one

Thats how it is.

it is not heart breaking

Yea , encouraging peoples to become dumb and dead !!!! That’s the truth .

How?

Factz

💪🏿

An informant

@@Nobody2x he accepted a meal from McNulty

@@Nobody2x Nah he was a real gangsta. Loyal to barksdale til the end. Would’ve popped Chris and snoop that’s why they needed o dog to sneak up.

@@ifuzegaming Man when they pulled kev out that bando dude was screaming it was Marlo 😂

Yeah… poot smartened up at the last minute. It ain’t meant for a pawn to win. Bodie said I’m a smart ass pawn… not smart enough. DAMN

@@GeronFletcher "being smart ain’t enough for this game"- stringer

When Bodie talked to McNulty about helping bring Marlo down he said "don't ask me to live on my knees" which is almost a direct MLK quote.

@@GeronFletcher Brodie, already was prepared for death. He didn't want to be in Wallace 's shoe. He knew he would have done as Wallace had...

@@GeronFletcher a smart pawn looks to stop being a pawn. But even if you make it across the board… you’re still just another piece, stuck in this shitty game. Poot understood, so he got out. If only Wallace did too… Also, Omar should’ve just stayed away. He had gotten out, he had won, but he just couldn’t drop it… the streets always had him, so he was doomed to come back and die on it.

An amazing take on this scene truly. It probably wasn’t what they meant but damn I felt it

I don't know if you made this observation, or someone else. I will say it sounds familiar Whoever made that observation killed it tho

I wonder what happens to donut does he die and the show is it different ppl every season?

Probably the craziest thing I’ve ever read

Great inference.

@Steevy Horton This was way over the top in response to what this guy said. lol

@Steevy Horton The original comment seems to be about the gangstafied legacy in which bodie left, like the intangibles. Your response was about the literal stuff like tactical positioning and shit like that.

SuperNintendo Chalmers Exactly. Dude had me scratching my head wondering why all of that was even necessary given the context.

Steevy Horton You seem to be missing the point my man.

I was locked up in Baltimore for about a year. The city jail. The bad jail. So I've heard bunch of sht. And the stories about the bandos, were serious

At the end of the day he was about to talk just like Wallace Avon/Stringer and Marlo did what they had to do to protect them and their crew

Bodie was a true soldier who followed orders and showed heart. A mans man

@@hbrotha1866 a mans man? Dats kinda gay

@@GOML1112 your dads gay, i know cause i banged him

Wallace got what he deserved

In the final montage of the Wire, you can see on a memorial on the wall next to a mural of an angel, one of the names is Bodie's name. It's a bit of a mixed ending for Bodie... On the one hand, people remember his name but no one remembers Marlo. Marlo had no code, everyone Marlo murdered was hidden in the vacants so no one knew Marlo did those killings, and Chris deliberately hid all of Bodie or Omar's taunts against Marlo so everyone just thinks Marlo let everyone run his name into the ground and did nothing about it. In that sense Bodie triumphed over Marlo. But what Dee said about pawns always being pawns and the King always being the King came back to haunt him. A pawn can reach the end and become a Queen, the same way Slim Charles went from being a soldier to being the head of the post-Marlo streets with the Greek connect. But the King's still Avon, and when Avon comes out of prison, he'll take over from Slim Charles where he left off. Bodie was always there for the Barksdales but when Bodie needed their help, the Barksdales didn't even notice one of their pawns getting capped. Dying on his feet and not on his knees was the only real choice he had left.

Doesn't matter him and Kevin both dead

@@noaccount4 People knew all the bodies in the vacants was Marlo's doing, thanks to Chris and Snoop, so it still contributed to his deadly reputation even if legally the murders weren't tied to him

@@noaccount4good summary. And I like the Zapata nod at the end of it.

​@@DaHuntersTrophyhush wiki bot mor on

It shows the chess theory. Bodie was ultimately a pawn so his death was irrelevant. Sad but true.

nah bodie was about to rat because he was done being marlo's pawn thats why he died

right. Dee brought that out in season 1 to Bodie, the whole chess theory. Bodie was my favorite character besides Prop Joe. Marlo got both of em knocked off.

That's life for ya.

Bodie wasn't a pawn. It took 3 of the Most powerful pieces to take him down. The King, The Queen, The Knight, and a Pawn. If anything he was a bishop piece. Not a pawn, he didn't die a pawns death and he was a very important piece in the game to get rid of. You don't send all of your best pieces to take down and trap 1 pawn.

*Bodie

Then he ran striaght to foot locker. Lol

@@c.t.7289 facts😂

Yeah LIKE HOW poot ain’t have a gun on em to shoot dude that was going after bodie?

Karma for what he did to Wallace🤷🏾‍♂️

Wordddd, felt that Last time vibe hate that shit yo loll

@@AmazingJayB51 but Wallace was ratting u know how this street shit go all 🐀 must die 💯

@@YurrGTrain when you look at the scene again you could tell they really didn’t want to but they were soldiers in their head and knew they’d be getting popped if they didn’t follow orders

BX WH when he do that it’s only a matter of time

JD Williams should've had more big roles after this. I only remember him from OZ, in the Sopranos as a guest star, in 2 episodes of SVU as an undercover cop. I'll always know him as Bodie.

@@GABRIELA-ACEVEDO. he was froggy in pootie tang too

@@GABRIELA-ACEVEDO. you right Dirty Dee was in the wire as well I totally forgot

McNulty Trash that woman did the work and that other guy

And got a disrespectful death getting shot from behind, heck if anything Bodie was a coward for shooting an unarmed teen. He got what he deserved

Ampocalypse W well Wallace decided to tell the police who killed Omar’s boyfriend Brandon. He was sent into hiding until he could testify in court. After Kima got shot they forgot about Wallace who stupidly decided he wanted back in after he turned informant. He was snitching on stringer bell of all ppl he should stayed gone.

@@DrizzFizzlebeatz true but I can say least give Wallace some slack because he is only a child, he grew in the streets which while he did Adapt he wasnt meant to be in that Environment. And even though him coming back was stupid where else you think he could have gone? Not to mention he thought he would be safe with his supposedly friends. And if you really want to call someone foolish its definitely Bodie, this fool decided to stay in his corner instead of retreating and fighting another day. His death showed how stupid his morals are. And dont get me started on that punk ass bitch who act u6 ally made it out of the game while he convinced Bodie to kill Wallace

Ampocalypse W lmfaooo this is all true but Wallace knew the rules of the game, Wallace was the one that got Brandon killed by informing the Barksdale crew where he was so he basically told on a murder he was involved in, however he was young and the way they did Brandon got to him Wallace was the oldest brother of about 5 and he took care of all them alone hence why he is even selling drugs in the first place but he knew the rules and should’ve stayed gone even his friends told him that before they killed him

@@Fr3sHxCartel again he is young each of these kids do stupid shit, like Randy taking "5 dollars to stand by the door so some kids can have a damn 3 some with a girl* and him snitching. Not to mention Namord pretending to be someone hes not, and Michael for getting into deep. But I give them the benefit of the doubt cause their young and domt know much about the world. Bodie was an idiot for staying his ground even after seeing he is outnumbered and wasnt watching his own back, and to make matters worst he *HE KILLED A CHILD* so yeah fuck

Yeah. The best part was when bodie gave poot the ok to run. If he didn’t do that poot would’ve stayed

@@anthony66615 Yupp loyalty at its finest that’s a real friend

​@@zaytime4156😂😂😂💯💥

Bro left at the time he needed back up the most

@@elohimdagodPoot was unarmed (most people wouldn’t stay) and even told Bodie to run with him. Bodie literally nudged him to leave. Did you not watch the scene?

I don't know that he is underrated at all. At least from the comments that I see; not from mainstream sources mind you, but from people who really get into the series, Bodies character arc is one of the most important, possibly the most poignant in the series. There are other great characters of course, but from killing Wallace (his low) to taking this stand which is really connected to Kevin and what he perceived as the unique evil of the Marlo crew; Just a great character and I think as time goes by may be in the top 3 although its admittedly hard to choose that way.

Some retreat and some make a stand. You don't know which 1 u are until u get put in that situation. Taking his corner is taking his livelihood and respect he spent his hole life building up

@@RUTHLESSambition5 Wasn't about the corner, its' because Marlo put a hit on him for being seen with McNulty and he knew Chris and Snoop would make him dissapear "in one of them empty ass houses" so he opted to go out fighting on his turf

I agree. He was not underrated. He had great character development and growth. One of the best characters on the show

Seeing kevs body pulled out of that vacant really fucked bodie up too

Lol fareal fareal! Can't nobody spit cool as Bodie😂

that means strong teeth. no gaps 'tween them teeth

@Khabib cherrypicking Weight bully Lol me too, still can't get it ryte😂

@Khabib cherrypicking Weight bullylol😂

@Khabib cherrypicking Weight bully lol we need to ask Bodie how he did it lol

“You’re a soldier.” McNutty

From his perspective, Wallace was a friend who stabbed him in the back

Wallace stabbed him in the back and was a snitch. That’s the game. I never blamed Bodie for that. Bodie is the most genuine/ solid character in the show

@@Screemcheese wallace is a friend at the end of the day though, the show exploits the game and how in the end, noone wins. It wasnt wallace or bodies fault.

This! I felt the exact same way about him.

Gets me every time man..

​@@jayebarz5673 Bodie was like: get yourself out while you still got the chance homie, If I go down I won't let you go down with me 💯

No doubt Bodie....was loyal!!!

Facts Spider and them jetted outta there lmao. Poot real tho he wanted to make sure Bodie good

Its all in the game.

Why would they stay an get killed like him especially if it’s only one pipe out there smh surprise you still alive saying dumb shit like that

@@hunnitstyles2359 man you a lame quit woofing with your suburban ass

Poor ran too ..

Swee what I find more astounding is thinking back to the chess analogy at the beginning, and comparing chess pieces to the direction the shooters were coming. One approaching diagonally (bishop), one approaching from the side (rook), and one sneaking up around the wall and turning (Knight); it took three extremely valuable pieces to trap what was supposed to be nothing more than a pawn.

Swee tru

Well if you're shooting someone with the intention to kill the common practice is to shoot twice. It's called "double-tapping".

Jay H white boi sit your internet thug ass down

Jay H, thanks. So it wasn't any mystical metaphysical shit, but rather, standard shit that soldiers would've been living by and dying by as far back as they could remember.

They showed the first death in the vacants with a kid on his KNEES, crying and begging for his life. Now juxtapose that with Bodie's death... dying on his FEET, not begging, not crying, but fighting to the end. Bodie died a soldier, not a coward. Those two scenes also recalls MLK's famous quote: "I'd rather die on my feet, than live on my knees."

Kory Green mlk was a bitch

What adds to the scariness in that scene is how Snoop is concerned about them not having enough quicklime. She does not care that someone is begging for his life. It was just a 9 to 5 job for Chris and Snoop.

Agreed. The old face Andre always scared me Cos he just walked with them into the alley and was complaining about the rats and his peoples... How can a man knowingly and freely walk to his death. Terrifies me

Kory Green that’s Emiliano Zapatas line although I’m sure there are variations of it throughout history

This scene got me good, took some time off of binge watching it after this episode..

He KNEW it was his last dance.

Same here. It was his last embrace of his brother.

He seen poot was scared So he told I’m to go It’s like he saved his life at that one moment before O dog came out 🤦🏾‍♂️Damn

You see the toughness in his face go away for a second when motioning at Poot to run away. It was such a subtle touch. No cheesy dialogue just a look.

yeah, they knew he would see them coming from a mile away and he did, at night with to no light on the streets.

Don't forget they couldn't get Omar.

@@frankthetank1369 Kenard sure tf could tho

Remember dead is dead. 5 guys 10 your still dead!

The plan was to break in Michael and be there in person to see how he carries himself on the hit. Less about a triple team. Snoop et al know how to hit, their body count reflects this as well as how they trained Michael.

string told him to do wallace, fortunately string ended up gettin what he had coming

Neither did I

Kellen east only thing they’re good for is making you love the Barksdale crew that much more

nomo whites yet he never got to wear the crown, hmmm.

@@Duzz14 the Barksdale crew felt like the protagonists by comparison.

Kellen east definitely. Very true. They were monsters for the most part too. Reminds me of what Butchie says “Avon’s father was pure evil, the son is no different”

well Spider and Poot retreated.

He was just trying to get across the board, but he wasn’t the smart ass pawn he thought he was. He was nothing special, he was gifted at times but the timing of things got him cornered and he ran outta moves.

@MegaJf16 Exactly atleast u payed attention lol

He was with it too bad he had a weak add crew

its about honor. urban black culture is an honor culture.

cflorez1986 when it happens it won’t be cinematic

That's how it is in real life, there's no music, there's nothing glamorous about getting whacked. If your lucky you got one friend like poot who stay right til the final bell.

Shit turn me on

Shit looked real ong

I love that they don’t use a soundtrack in the show. Except like the intro. Only music in cars passing etc. just the sounds of the streets

Damn 🤯.

That’s a good catch , the movement was there , he died for the square

wow thats what d said in season 1

Wow what an eye

DAMN what. thats so spot on

pawn can't retreat

grabs the gun diagonal right. shoots diagonal left. shoots diagonal right. dude comes out of the vacant one space, turns 90 degrees, like a knight, walks up to Body. knocked off like any pawn. Brutal.

@@BumpPumper plus Snoop the Rook comes straight down the street while Chris the bishop moves diagonally across the street. This is why The Wire is the greatest show of all time.

@@xDreMack it was great but i don't know why people compare it to the sopranos cause it simply isn't as good.

@@mikimiyazaki So wrong. I feel sorry for you actually.

And the end credits theme plays 😞😢

Fuck that I thought he would’ve fired back

@@nopoint808 Poot didn't have no heat on him tho

Yeah he stayed as long as he could for him 😭

he left when he realized bodie was on a suicide mission

@@happyheavenly4200 yeah he knew it was a wrap

They knew they could not show his face cause how piss we would have been because of the death

I just watched this episode, them leaving the camera on his body hit me hard

I literally stood on my feet and said “this for my boy Wallace”

that wasn't stinger, it was Marlo's order. You idot.

@@scotty2hotty364 I felt that way originally but after watching this show multiple times, I grew to like bodies character. Bodie and Poot killed Wallace strictly on orders otherwise all 3 would've been killed by the end of season 1.

that was my favorite scene

@@SpaceGuerilla Mcnulty: "You're A snitch bodie." Bodie: .... "Hell yeah." fixed it for you

@@allaboutthemurzic Nahh.

Yeah he wasn't about to let them walk him into one of those vacants like they did so many others. Bodie was the realest.

The show was an argument AGAINST the drug war. A lot of viewers don't get that. Every season, every episode, David Simon was making his case as to why this country should either legalize or decriminalize drugs.

What was sad about Bodie death? This the same dude that killed his childhood friend

@@jaykisuke3397 they were all flawed people. That didn't make them all bad. Bodie and Wallace were both victims of the environment they were born into. You can still feel bad for both of them.

@@losr98 nah you're just gullible. So if you killed your childhood friend would his family down the line accept you on the street with no consequence?

Bodie moved forward only. He thought he could become queen if he played the game long enough. He got stuck and found out how unlikely his dreams were to happen and how unfair the game was. When he had second thoughts and tried to move back, he realized he couldn't any more. I don't know about the knight but yeah the pawn analogies were clearly stated in the show, no coincidence there.

What is Poot then?
