Marlo Stanfield last scene in “The Wire” (2008)

Legend of Omar lives on. Young boys don’t even know who Marlo is

Nigga needed the streets bad. Marlo was at that party like:

Marlo got his get outta jail free card, his lawyer tells him all he has to do is stay out of trouble, and he walks right outside & takes a corner.

I got a theory that Marlo is a raw manifestation of the drug game itself—unrelenting, not fueled by anything and all that truly remains in the end. Everyone is dead or jailed—Marlo still there, made the ideological difference between String & Avon visible plus mad of quotables.

Marlo was so heartless and ruthless yet the streets loved his opp Omar so much more lol 😆

This scene was so poetic because Marlo wanted to be respected and remembered but the street dudes didn’t know who he was and they were talking about Omar like he was a legend, how he went out in a blaze of glory But he actually got shot by a kid

was a smart greedy dumb mf

He was as addicted to the drug game as users were to drugs themselves

This was a realization for Marlo. He talked all that shit about his name and no one even knew who he was frfr This was him realizing his name meant nothing in the grand scheme of things.

lol was just on YouTube watching this

lol it’s almost time to run the series back

Me and my wife plan on it lol. We actually knocked out The Corner for the first time in the last three days. What a sad ass show smh

Priest wanted one more score before leaving the game…Neil McCauley had to take care of Waingro before leaving Los Angeles… Marlo, like many smart gangsters, know when to leave, but for some there’s an inevitable itch that needs to be scratched before doing so…Marlo’s lucky.

Marlo couldn’t fw Avon Avon was really king

Thought he was gonna die on that corner which would make sense for him too. His ending reminds me of Vic Mackey on The Shield. Leaves u really wondering what he's gonna do next.

He gave that look like, “Yea, I’m too old for this shit!”

Fuck Marlo

I fuckin love this scene man. "You know who I am?" "Do YOU know who EYE am?!" Lmao

It’s crazy how everything came full circle with the characters

Always hated that Marlo made it out.

Corner gonna be the Corner

For the love of the game

Marlo Bourne

Bodie was just too far for me….

Missed the streets

safe to say that nigga was back running shit soon after that

What a crazy ending for a villain like that, it feels literary. It's all about the implications of the person, like the last time you see Anton in No Country. You realize they're always going to live and die by their beliefs, no matter how fundamentally flawed those beliefs are.

Clown ass scene

How long was Marlo locked up? I thought it wasn’t long

One of my favorite characters

@grok what’s the overall assessment of this scene

Back to where he started….the corner

“ Yeww nigga” lol I love my city and we need a reboot or a prequel

marlo got what he knew all gangsters were supposed to want. except meaningless to him

Still could’ve shot his ass 🙆🏾‍♂️😭
