Wait, wait wait a damn minute…
What was wrong with the end of The Wire?
The point of the ending as it went over was that the game doesn’t change but the players do.
Michael Lee took Omar’s spot as the stickup man, minus the buttfucking.
Marlo was about where Stringer was sort of, as the bossman unable to get out the game.
Dukie became Bubbles
Street level shit was still street level shit
Fat Face rick and Slim Charles were similar to Avon, dealing with the Greeks.
Chris and Wee-Bey still in prison
Namond and Bubbles doing well for their past troubles
McNulty returns the bum he used to stir up that shit to Baltimore
I’m forgetting some things, but I am very sure that all story arcs were completed. The thing with The Wire is that every season had to end as if they might not be back the following year, because they MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN BACK THE FOLLOWING YEAR. Season 5 was it and was supposed to be it, they closed it off right.
Let's fight
