String was a schemer... schemers are beta. Stringer stabbed people in the back, Marlo would go right up to their face.

Date: August 30th, 2010 1:44 AM Author: up-to-no-good henna prole didn't watch, but that's about Omar, which isn't the point of this thread. Anyway I don't think that the comparison makes much sense--part of being an alpha is leadership, and no one of consequence was being led by Omar. Marlo came from nowhere and killed the dude with the connect, and fucking ALPHA'd up to take over distribution to all the others.
Omar's alpha but of a totally different stripe. |

Date: August 30th, 2010 1:58 AM Author: stirring yapping skinny woman I had respect for Stringer his organziation recocornized the game and played by the rules, Marlo was essentially a Jew (ie killing people out of pure ruthless enjoyment) and breaking rules to get ahead (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1409338&forum_id=2#15918121) |
|
Date: August 30th, 2010 1:58 AM Author: up-to-no-good henna prole Perhaps he just understood the game better. Anyway we're talking about ALPHA here--which isn't synonymous with rule abiding, now is it? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1409338&forum_id=2#15918127) |

|
Date: August 30th, 2010 2:07 AM Author: up-to-no-good henna prole True. He was just so fucking good at it though. It kinda made me sad in the end when he tried to give up the crown and go legit, and was just shunned. Then he even caught shit from punks on the street. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1409338&forum_id=2#15918180) |
|
Date: August 30th, 2010 10:45 AM Author: Beady-eyed Hyperactive Crackhouse Marketing Idea I don't remember him being shunned. The point of that scene was that the businessdoods were trying to talk his ear off with business offers (and also rip him off like they did with Stringer) but he just ignored them. He already had 10 million or so for selling the connect IIRC and some more money stashed in the French Caribbean. All his enemies were pretty much dead or locked up. The point of the scene with the punks was that success/money/women didn't really matter to him at the end. He was in it because the struggle itself was what mattered to him. He didn't even attempt to tell the punks who he was. He just wanted to fight, beat them, and thereby exercise his dominance. The moment he's standing there on the corner alone is pretty much the closest he gets to actually being happy on the show. Another moment is when he fucks with the security guard.

|
Date: August 30th, 2010 1:01 PM Author: up-to-no-good henna prole Yeah I haven't seen it in years. It just seemed like the b-doods didn't take him seriously except that he was an unsophisticated dood with $$$.
I agree with you about the punks scene; it was about the struggle and getting the crown rather than actually having it. |
|
Date: August 30th, 2010 10:49 AM Author: Painfully honest claret feces This essentially shows that Marlo was more like Avon than Stringer. Stringer would have been happy being some half assed businessman, in contrast to Marlo and Avon who wanted to be in the game for the power.

Date: September 26th, 2011 12:18 PM Author: Aromatic Deer Antler Mother i didn't take that from that scene at all. he left on his own - he was welcome, but didn't want to play that game. he went back to the street and wanted the visceral violence. those two scenes more than anything show him being alpha.

Date: August 30th, 2010 2:04 AM Author: demanding faggot firefighter i don't get the stringer love (not necessarily in this thread). he was pwned three ways - by the white guys, by omar, and by marlo. he was a poor businessman - big ideas but shitty grasp of the details. if it wasn't for his snitching, the barksdales could potentially still be in control. nevertheless marlo is slightly more alpha than avon because he would never have given a bitchass like stringer so much authority (or would have kept him more in check).

|
Date: August 30th, 2010 12:58 PM Author: electric state Not saying Stringer was "alpha," but the sympathy for him probably comes from the fact that if he hadn't been born in the ghetto, he would have been a savvy businessman in his own right. He tried to change the game, or at least get himself out of it. Avon and Marlo only ever wanted to run the ghetto. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1409338&forum_id=2#15920154) |

|
Date: August 30th, 2010 2:06 AM Author: frozen ocher area nowag Marlo for sure, because he's much more like a wild animal. Stringer is alpha in the sense that he calls the shots, he's smart, he runs shit. but i think 'alpha' is more in tune with basic primal insticts.

|
Date: August 30th, 2010 10:04 AM Author: red locus masturbator Marlo, without question. Stringer was beta to Avon even within his own gang (e.g. recall the bitch slap Avon gave him when Stringer wanted Clay Davis killed). Stringer was only in the game for the money but was a pussy when it came to actually figthing, Avon and Marlo would never back down from anyone or anything.
The most alpha people on that show were Avon, Marlo, Omar, and the Greek. |
|
Date: August 30th, 2010 10:34 AM Author: Painfully honest claret feces Marlo>Stringer. All the ones you mentioned are pretty alpha. Prop Joe was an alpha until season 5, when the show's writers decided to turn him from ruthless kingpin into a gentle grandfather who Marlo manipulated.
The Greek was the most alpha dude on that show. Anyone who got in his away was eliminated in a very efficient manner. |

Date: August 30th, 2010 10:42 AM Author: Beady-eyed Hyperactive Crackhouse Marketing Idea There's a lot of talk about the "crown" on that show, but the Greek is the one who actually wears it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1409338&forum_id=2#15919193) |

Date: August 30th, 2010 10:21 AM Author: Beady-eyed Hyperactive Crackhouse Marketing Idea Marlo. If Stringer were alpha, he would've offed Clay Davis himself instead of begging Slim Charles and Avon to do it and backing down after they told him no.
A better comparison would be between Avon and Marlo. Both warriors. I'd say they are around equal. Omar edges them both out though.
I'll give Mike the alpha award for alpha youngster. |

Date: September 26th, 2011 12:25 PM Author: Aromatic Deer Antler Mother maybe Avon. remember how he was portrayed in season 1 - kingpin running a huge crew, took over the whole westside, and they didn't even have a picture of him. he was clearing $30 million a year in profit from his operation (compare this to Marlo selling the connect for $10 million). it was his idea with the beepers and he almost pwned the cops - remember Marlo's crew being sloppy using cell phones?
even when he's locked up he runs the prison, and extracts $250k from Marlo just to get him a meeting with the russian guy. and he knew by doing that he was fucking Prop. Joe, his enemy. he had respect for Marlo as a fellow alpha, but i think he was smarter. |
