People always underestimate Avon as just a mindless thug who does stupid things for no reason. But he's actually thinking about who he is and what he could and couldn't be. For one - he actually knows the game and he knew what Marlo was about, that's gonna be clearer in following episodes. Stringer's business ambitions make sense to us, they're logical. But the game isn't always logical, the violence does have its own rules and logic. Avon is also thinking about what it means to be a gangster and a soldier and how these people live and grow older (or die young). Remember all the way in season 1 when he visited his comatous relative with Dee? "How you never gonna be late slow, how you never gonna be late?" As a soldier and warlord you're constantly on edge, always in someone's gunsights, always trying to keep your reputation - there's no planning for a peaceful future. And here he sees Cutty go through a really emotional revelation about himself - strong enough to do a 180 and straight up tell his gangster boss he quits. If a famous badass like that can do that, what does that mean for Avon? It's always more complex than it initially seems with The Wire. :)

It's really hard for me to look at the show with fresh eyes, having rewatched it a million times. But I always struggle with how reactors perceive Avon. I get it... I probably was the same way the first time I watched. But like... Episode 6. "He a man today. Today he a man". That moment is so iconic to his character, and people just kind of slide past it. Avon is one of the most honest, perceptive people in the show. Sure, one might disagree with his choices, obviously, but he's not an idiot. One first watch, it's easy to set up Smart, Enlightened Stringer vs Dumb, Wild Avon. But that is not necessarily what's going on here. If Stringer was in charge, what are the chances that Cutty would be walking away alive? Avon might be "just a gangsta", but he also has honor, and he understands that a man can change. He respects Cutty for being honest

I love that line (“He a man today. He a man.”) It makes Avon so much more interesting than just a gangster, more interesting IMHO than Stringer.
