You need to watch the wire again, with someone who can comprehend what is happening on the screen.

Stringer was fricked no matter what. Weather it had been BPD or Omar.

String. Avon had no vision. String's share the corner was working until Avon started agitating, giving Marlo an opening to screw the whole thing up.
That said, it is the ultimate irony Marlo got what Stringer always wanted, but for him that was hell, and he had to go back to the street. My name is my name. String don't care about that BS.

exactly. things were humming along fine until avon got out
string could have set it up where they made twice the money with half the name for avon, and avon would have still been upset. avon's priorities were more in line with marlow's (street shite)
now, did string frick up with the real estate? yes. but that was was nothing in terms of the total pie. if the numbers from season 1 are accurate, they had hundreds of millions of dollars saved up. a few hundred grand was nothing

I'm on my second watch and nearing the end of season 3.
Avon, no doubt.
Like many said, String only thought he was a badass with his Baltimore Community College education. He also fricked up calling the D situation and his dumbass called the hit on Omar on a Sunday morning and didn't hit anything but his grandmama's crown.

I think they are both great, I can't decide.
Business was good until Marlo tried taking them over, I think if they would have killed Marlo, Stringer would have become a successful business owner while Avon owned all the corners.

they wouldn't have owned the corners without prop joes connect, and to get that connect they had to give up corners

Without question this answer is Avon. When string made the call on Brandon was what fricked up the Barksdale crew. Before that no one had even seen Avon, strigner was sitting in courtrooms like a dumbass. Why most viewers fail to recognize this is because we jump into the story with Avon already at the top, a guy so paranoid he wouldn't use the same phone twice a d wouldn't allow his crew to talk business in the car. Avon was the true genius, Stringer although smart made a lot of decisions with emotion. Dee, Brandon, Muzone/Omar, attempting to kill Clay eDavis, berating his crew. Avon would never make those moves/ act that way. Avon was smart enough to know that the co-op wouldn't last, which is why he wanted real estate. New York wanted to re establish the connect, but since Muzone got double crossed by Stringer he had to go. Stringer is the perfect example of someone making decisions when the best move is to wait.

The corners were irrelevant until the Towers(and they only gave up one Tower-no corners or The Pit) went down. Stringer failed to recognized that a) the Towers were coming down(How does a real estate investor not become aware of that?) getting out on the corners earlier would have squashed the Stanfield crew's power b) committing to the co-op crippled his own market share, with Prop Joe gaining real estate and direct connection to the Greeks. c) attempting to bring Marlo into the co-op was a mistake.

Stringer Bell was the best character on the show imo. The only character I've ever enjoyed more was Ryan O'Reily on Oz.

what about Tony?
Walter White?
Omar?
McNulty?
Nucky?
Bell was a great character no question, huge fan of Idris Elba. IMO, Avon is the most underrated character in the Wire. Would love to see a graphic novel telling the rise of the Barksdale Crew.
