I just finished The Shield. So he's supposed to be a bad guy? the only bad thing he did was in the first episode killing terry but after that he barely did anything bad. And the good he does heavily outweighs him killing terry. I thought he was supposed to be a "complicated protagonist" but he's just ur typical good guy.

WHAT ABOUT THE TEAM VIC?! WHAT ABOUT THE TEAM?
I just wish Ronnie got to run away but otherwise Vic was a fricking hero. Society could use more of him unironically
All his actions screw over good people every time and escalates crime by making deals with drug dealers.
They were out until Shane dragged them back in with the Anton shit.
>All his actions screw over good people every time and escalates crime by making deals with drug dealers
wrong. she killed the strike team
pic related
I ruin friendships for she
Mara had god-tier feet, Shane had no choice
no she just killed that Black person homosexual
hes a manlet
>short
>fat
>bald
He's automatically in the wrong no matter what he does.
>5’6”
Omg he’s not that short shutup
That's the point.
antwon was terribly miscast. that actor is fricking lucky
SUCK IT
This picture is like art. You feel everyone’s emotion. No to mention the things in the room. I feel like making a big portrait of this and putting it in my room
Filtered, Anthony Anderson nailed the role and was the best part of s4
i mean i guess the homosexual Black person homosexual son scene is one of the best in the show, i liked the old white b***h
scenes like this that make Shield top 3 shows of all time, holy frick I felt it
my prostate wiggled when i heard him say "assfull of cum" too
YOU LIKE THAT?
A reminder that Shane did EVERYTHING wrong.
so does walter goggles only take roles if he gets to say Black person or what
Yes and dress a woman for israelites
>this
I've never seen him in anything without him dressing up as a woman at some point.
>ICE gives him immunity
>they never check his background and see the investigations done on him or question why his own police department wants him out
>but he's just ur typical good guy
no, that's billings
i have the same work ethic as him
Me too, the Billings.
Billings is so fricking great, him setting up Dutch to be cucked was bizarrely based writing
>Ladies and gents we got ourselves a homocide
I swear to God Billings was among the most based characters
Billings telling Claudette he'd "add it to his lawsuit" is the funniest line in the entire series.
I love when he cucked Dutch
How is it possible for one man to be so based?
My b***h dyke lawyer
That’s Dutch’s actual wife as well
Killing Terry really feels out of character after you've finished the entire show.
Not really, Vic would do anything to save his own ass and in the final episodes he has no problem with the idea of killing a pregnant woman and her son. What was out of character was Vic’s smirk and shake of his head, felt cartoonish
what choice did he have?
Terry snitched
I second this. This was the only thing that bugged me. Maybe also Shane killing the guy with the grenade, i forgot his name. Both these decisions seemed too drastic
I think Shane killing Lem made sense if you consider the fact that Shane worshipped Vic, and that since Vic killed Terry, Shane killing Lem would be fine since it would essentially be for the same reason.
He's a crooked cop who puts ends above means but receives his comeuppance in various ways. As a direct consequence of his actions he ends up making an enemy of his best friend, getting his team killed, loses his family, and is relegated to a desk job. It's also allegorical to the law and institutions of people in general, since we see aceveda and the federal agencies are not clean either. It's a good show, even if its silly at times.
That's typical for a pilot episode of TV, you're showing executives a preview of the arc of the entire series. It's similar to how Walt already goes heisenberg at the end of the BB pilot, only to revert to his meekish persona for the rest of season and needing to build back to that point later. Just don't think about it too much.
But yeah non-pilot Vic would have come up with a million other crazy plans to get rid of terry before resorting to killing him. Although you can argue that the reason he's so determined not to cross lines in the rest of the series is a certain guilt he only recognizes after killing terry.
WOAH, SO YOU'RE JUST GOING TO BREAK BAD?
PREVIOUSLY
Who can a man be so smart but still have trouble with women?
most women aren't smart, he overthought everything than just acted on instincts
?t=122
The vending machines!!!
he got plenty of girls when he didn't try.
It was his tryhard mentality that was unattractive to the girls.
he still did had gf and chances with women but frick it up because too nerdy and lack of experience
literally me
>h-he's just like me
Vic killed a random Hispanic because he thought he killed Lem. Which isn't too bad but Vic acknowledged it as bad.
Anyone cry when Lem died?
No. real men cry when Ronnie was arrested
I couldn’t care for Ronnie, he had no personality. The writers didn’t bother giving him a storyline. Even after Lem’s gone, all he does is remain as Vic’s lapdog
he was the smart guy of the team, he was mild mannered, tough but not hot headed, he also stood by Vic more than any of the others which says that he saw the bigger picture better than Lem or Goggins
Yeah Ronnie just kept to himself and did what was practical for the team. No drama.
Ronnie was a soldier. Vic and Shane were driven by ego
WHAT ABOUT MY CHOICE !!!!!!!!
You know what I hate about that scene, Vic yelling out "Ronnie!" as if it would do anything. And even if it did, he'd be aiding an escaping fugitive and probably arrested too.
ronnie getting arrested hurt in a strange way. he did everything right and got screwed by vic despite holding the line. he probably doesnt wind up in prison for life but its enough that it ruins his life and hell never recover. and he doesnt even get a chance to escape, just walked to the slaughter
Ronnie's in for life. He's an accessory to at least 3 murders, grand larceny, and violating the civil rights of civilians. And he probably gets shanked in his first month in the big house.
what murders is he accessory to? he can dismiss participating in terrys murder (he wasnt expressly aware until years later), he might be implicated in the two dead guys at the money train (not murder charges themselves), and the armenian hitman (who he actually killed) wasnt mentioned and its attributed to the armenians. maybe vic laid that one out for them though. besides that how many crimes could there be any evidence tying him to commting beyond vics testimony? anyways his life is ruined one way or another, even if he got out after 1 or 5 or 10 years, hes middle aged, narrow career path hes locked out of, excon, no pension.
for meme material but danni was likeable, showed the wisdom to toe the line
Yes
Was Aceveda a good leader?
No, none of the cops respected him and he let Vic bully him around. No real captain would ever let Vic talk shit to a superior like he did
Better than Claudette. She literally only got the job because she pulled the muh raycism card.
He's the main villain on the show. Career politician. He didn't care about anything but himself. His policies directly hurt the community. Virtue signaling policies at best.
He sucked dick
he was a good SUCKER
I loved the entire show, but I still felt that it was at its best when it was Aceveda vs Vic in season 1.
Also, I loved almost all of the Dutch plotlines, especially the one where they lied that the dude's sister was dead.
yeah i didnt even hate dutch or claudette. they were normal, benign, respectable people, just very average. they resent vic for flaunting the rules, not even really what happens because of it
i really respect the writers commitment to authenticity by making all of the worst people in the show women (corrine, mara, emolia)
YOU GAVE HIM FULL IMMUNITY?????
HE'S JUST PISSING ALL OVER US
forest whitaker was the best villain of any season
>villain
Every time I watch this show I reminisce about the early 2000’s. California in the early 2000’s was some crazy times.
I fricking hate this b***h more than anyone on any show ever.
As much as a dislike Mara I hate this even more. Vic should have killed her and blame the Salvadorans
The first half of s6 was kind of weak with Kevin Hiatt, thank god he only lasted one season. Vic confronting Shane about Lem’s death was when it ramped up. The blackmail box was a bit too convenient but it’s a tv show and it’s not hard to believe that politicians and big city players have dirt on them
Season 6 was set up to "fail" tbqh. Season 5 was one of the best seasons of TV ever produced
the shield is an occasionally great drama stitched to a really mediocre police procedural and issue of the week show.
>a really mediocre police procedural and issue of the week show
filtered
S1 and S2 are an above average cop procedural, S3 and the money train is when it became something more, at least for me it did. It’s a rare show that gets better as it goes along
the cases that Dutch and Claudette handle are better than pretty much any other cop show i've ever seen, the criminals are well written/acted and both of them are great to watch interrogate
> that serial rapist who would rape wife’s and make them call their husbands when he was raping them
Was he based?
The best ones were Claudette breaking the black serial killer(one of the most intense scenes in the show) and Dutch interrogating the fat guy
>WOMEN WONT SLEEP WITH YOU
Was Antoine alpha?
post your top 3 characters
1. Dutch
2. Vic
3. Shane
1.Vic
2.Billings
3.Dutch
1. Billings
2. Vic
3. Dutch
I'd just like to add Aceveda is underrated and had the best character arc
1. Ronnie
2. Danny
3. Shane
Billings >> Danni
Im trying to remember the cringe name the redhead gave to Vic's lovechild. I'm gonna cringe so hard when someone tells me. In 2022, this b***h would name her child Cash.
I wanted to frick the one female cop i thought she was a dyke at first
Corrine Mackey has a nice ass
I hated her mopey face
>fricking her doggstyle
>wants to see her face
she's was ugly, the street prostitutes were the best looking in the show, i also remeber some hot blond shane interrogated
the piss girl?
>the street prostitutes were the best looking in the show, i also remeber some hot blond shane interrogated
best girl was the car thief
Aceveda is a gay for not fricking her
He did gobble some penis though
Imagine the smell
THOUGHT WE TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM THE TWEENER PUSSY
Vic was fricking everyone
what a Chad
Yes, it was eye roll worthy
>the domestic abuse chick
>police dog chick
>the lawyer
>the Armenian girl
>dani
Almost as bad as Mcnulty’s "eye contact and quick cut to sex" scenes
Such a good sequence. When she tells Kavanaugh she came twice, that reaction is gold. Kino
banging forest whitakers ex wife was the most chad move I've ever seen on tv
Dutch fricking Corrine was pretty raw as well to be honest.
naw telling whitaker his ex's pussy tasted like sweet butter was THE chad move
Why does he still love his crazy ex wife? Why can’t he let go?
Because he is a control freak and Mackey is pissing on all of us.
Vic’s man breasts were so distracting
I look exactly like Vic just with a little hair
Some of the music choices in the show were baffling. Lem’s goodbye is almost ruined with that shitty punk rock or whatever it was playing in the background. It was the 2000s so I’ll let it slide
>pilot ends with Kid Rock playing
>Dutch’s kiddie porn laptop
>“I was going to local chat rooms”>“websites”
Turlington, parking Internal Affairs.
What’s up with the producers and sucking a gun?
"One time. Doin' time. For a long, long time."
RESPECT
Shane was always getting his ass kicked
SPOOK STREET
SPOOK STREET
why do they show re runs of every other piece of shit show, but never the shield?
Not woke
Every time a character said "goddammit", you just know the writers wanted them to say frick or any other variation of it
>That one time Vic Mackey goes into that one place full of pedos who start watching some Chinese teen get fricked by some BIG WHITE wiener live and the pedos start jacking off
Crazy huh guys
They did Tavon dirty, ruined his career and then trick him into thinking he hurt Mara and the baby
it's funny that despite being this testosterone driven series the shield unironically has some of the best female characters I've seen in a series, they're literally all good even the detestable ones like Mara and Tina
for me it's aceveda's wife
find to a certain extent claudette and rawlings (glenn close) weere willing to accept vic as a necessary evil and didn't have the need for personal vengeance against him like acevada and kavanaugh also shane
Who was a worse wife, Corrine or Skyler?
Skyler has down! Walter was literally giving his life for his family and leaving them money. The c**t goes out and fricks ted.
Corrine did nothing wrong except running away with the kids for awhile. She only divorced Vic when she caught him cheating in his apartment and he put her in danger with the Armenians and Gilroy
Corrine was justified, but annoying.
Skyler was never justified, and twice as annoying.
It's not even a question.
Corrine made mistakes, but was loyal to Vic, way more than she had to be.
Skyler, without a doubt. Vic was actually a massive piece of shit and everything Corrine did was justified. Walt makes some extra cash on the side and Skyler melts down and fricks Ted as if they're even now lmao
Vic was less shitty than Walter, it's not even close.
how?
all I remember from the skylar shit in BB is that I agreed with her. walter was a moron and the shit she did she telegraphed to him beforehand and he just ignored it because he was too busy being a narcissist who abused everyone around him habitually. I've seen this exact dynamic IRL a bunch of times and you have to be a moron to be surprised by any of it.
skylar stuck around while expressing her displeasure in the typical woman way. corrine took the kids and bailed on him then filed for divorce out of nowhere.
vic at least was a good guy 99% of the time. walter was a good guy never.
There's no way man, I personally don't see it. Look at the endings of the shows:
Vic
>burns every single bridge he has in the name of self preservation
Walt
>Apologizes to everyone he's wronged before going on a suicide mission to save Jesse
who here is like Billings?
>that scene where acevada relates to some prostitute who got rape and was hiv positive and gives it to her rapist
they should've done more with the vaccines cause autism plotline
Autism really took off in the middle of the 2000’s. All celebrities were talking about it in the late 2000’s
This show was written exclusively by people who peaked in high school
>ywn have sex with the most beautiful woman on the planet in her prime
feels bad man
You’d think that they would’ve stripped the strike team’s little clubhouse doors earlier.
>he made you suck it?
funniest moment
?t=83
Shane fricked better women
You're a fricking idiot. Vic is a cold-blooded killer who coerces perps and abuses the shit out of his badge. He actively makes decent people around him [Lem] act like thugs and he justifies it by beating around perps.
Vic is an butthole.
>stares at you with withering disapproval
what do?
Vic brainwashes the entire team into believing all that "we’re a family" bullshit. It got Ronnie arrested in the end. He felt like the only natural corrupt cop out of the 4, being criminal came easy to him. Shane on his own was incompetent and he couldn’t be like Vic. They all pretty much did everything he told them to
>And the good he does heavily outweighs him killing terry.
not how the justice system works
What they did to O’Brien was completely fricked
>frame a man whose only crimes were putty theft
>ends up getting brutally murdered for something he didn’t do
>Strike team burns his body, practically wiping him from existence. No one knows he’s dead
KINO
Everyone is forgetting Vic covered up the death of an innocent insurance salesman when his prostitute friend Connie shot him in cold blood
He made the right call. Sucks for that guy, but he was fricking a prostitute, so he's already responsible for risking his reputation with his family. Connie likely would have gone to jail and the kid would have gone to a foster home, worse than jail.
Vic was just Sipowicz tuned up to 11.
Even had analogous scenes, like which Sipowicz also did. Though that guy died of a heart attack, not murder.
The show had one of the most satisfying endings ever no up for interpolation shit no cliff hanger
vic ate something bad and went to the bathroom
he forgot something in his car and shortly returned to work after
Surprised CCH Pounder didn't get more emmy nominations for this show. She was fricking great
GODDAMNIT DUTCH, WHAT OTHER ERRANDS DO YOU HAVE US RUNNING FOR THE DA!!?
She was by far the best actress on the show, even when Glenn Close was the police chief. The scene when she makes it to the DEA just too late to stop Mackey's confession was so good.
“YOU STILL JUST A Black person!”
Always great to post with The Shield chads
100%
>mfw someone hasn't seen The Shield
the minimum
HE'S PISSING
I feel like watching the show again. I was thinking of buying the blu ray version but the dvd just feels RAW
watch it on vhs
I have a friend like that, he even looks the same. He destroys everything that surrounds him and every fix just makes new bigger problems.
I wish we never met.
Damn he sounds like a story
They could make a movie out of it. Destroys his own sister which was bank manager with degree in economics by dragging her into fake university diplomas scheme that went political.
>fits of autistic rage
>makes everyone uncomfortable
>spills his spaghetti trying to bang Corrine after Vic PISSED all over him
honestly all Kavanaugh needed was to be played by Ryan Gosling and he would be LITERALLY me
Didn’t Dutch boy frick Vic’s wife?
he was hungry like the wolf he had no choice
he was a good singer
DICK IN GRANNY
Shield spinoff when?
