Indeed, unlike all the swearing people do all day every day, which is crucial to their life.
Tarantino should pare down the speech of his characters to the level of Disney, then it will be entirely appropriate to the plot and completely realistic.
Perhaps you’d also want to watch this scene and tell me why the things McNulty and Moreland saying are in any way necessary and how the scene is then so popular. Btw, the series is also packed with the ‘n-word’, particularly in the first season. How come the depiction of valiant police force doesn’t use ‘black fella’ or something instead?
First of all, I love the Wire and I don’t even need to click the link to know what scene you’re referring to.
I’m actually not convinced that you’ve seen Pulp Fiction if you’re comparing Tarantino unnecessarily saying the N word multiple times to one of the best scenes in television history.
In fact, I remember one of the quotes from Tarantino from when Vincent and Sam Jackson’s character (forget his name off the top of my head) pull up to Tarantino’s character’s house after accidentally shooting Martin in the head in the backseat of the car.
Tarantino’s completely necessary joke, the one you’re comparing to a scene from The Wire is,
Is there a sign on my law that says dead n****r storage?
Context matters. Who says it matters. What it adds (or doesn’t add) to the dialogue matters.
Comparing tarratino writing himself in to his own movie to say the n word in a couple forced “jokes,” to The Wire is definitely one of the takes off all time
First of all, I have never found it’s use in The Wire to be excessive. I can’t even remember a specific example. Incessant? Lol no. I just rewatched the show last year. They 100% don’t “incessantly use the n-word” in The Wire.
Stop being obtuse. Black people in Baltimore in the 90s said the word to each other. So if you’re writing a realistic, gritty show, it might include that word.
Not used by white people in throwaway jokes that are supposed to make them seem funny and relatable.
Quentin Tarantino has no reason to say it other than “it was in the script.”
Are you being deliberately dumb? The ‘n-word’ is said all the time in the first season of ‘The Wire’ by the policemen regardless of their skin color, so either present your analysis on how it’s necessary in the show for police force of all skin colors and ethnicities to be casually racist, or fuck off. I don’t have a craving for arguing with a person who’s either stupid or purposely pretends to be so.

Or so a show set in Baltimore can be casually racist, but there’s no chance there were ever racist people in Los Angeles, where ‘Pulp Fiction’ is set, oh no. Only Baltimoreans are entitled to be racist and can be depicted in media as such, not a film from the West Coast, fuck that.
You seem to be a living embodiment of the ‘double standard’ concept.
Oh no, people say swearwords in films? I can’t tolerate that, definitely wouldn’t want characters in films to speak like people in real life.
Have you seen the movie? It’s completely unnecessary and excessive. It adds nothing to the movie.
The whole movie is about being unnecessary and excessive…? That’s pretty literally the title;
In Finnish the title is translated as “stories from/about violence” (tarinoita väkivallasta)
Also, it was the 90’s.

Have you seen the movie? Do you know what quotes you’re actually defending, and what the context was?
Wow, so funny and absolutely necessary. And it had to be delivered by a white person. Had to.

Yeah, got it, when the word is said in ‘The Wire’, it’s necessary, when it’s in Tarantino’s film, it’s unnecessary. Great criterion.
Have you seen Pulp Fiction in the last decade?

Explain to me why incessant usage of the ‘n-word’ is necessary in ‘The Wire’.

And who wrote that script? Hmmm.
