Policing London - The Fall of Jonathan Wild - Extra History - Part 2
ΠΠ΅ΡΠ΅Π³Π»ΡΠ΄ΡΠ² 1,379,160
4 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡπ History of Policing London: The Fall of Jonathan Wild - Jonathan Wild had the whole crime system figured out. A man of justice by day, and leader of a criminal empire by night. But that is when Jack Sheppard came into his life. Jack Sheppard was a talented thief but an even more talented escape artist. And one of the last criminals in London who refused to bend the knee to Jonathan Wild. This was unacceptable. Jonathan Wild became obsessed. But obsessions can be dangerous. Every prison escape causes Sheppard's popularity amongst the people, sick and tired of corruption, to grow. And the consequences may be deadly.

There are actually several stories (including a stage play that once had the great Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwick combo) that play with that idea, arguing that they are in fact, the same person. They do this by pointing out that in Holmes canon, Watson never once met Moriarty and just has to take Holmes' word for it.

The other is the quiet assassin loyal to the Brotherhood who you switch to to kill your targets and do the "dirty work." The whole game is about building your Brotherhood criminal empire in London while trying to take down Wilde.

A city where being a thief is an official career where you need education, training and be part of a guild. The same for being an assassin, and there's also a beggar's guild.

@@arturoreyescortez2476 A city where getting robbed can be a pleasant and safe process, with polite young professionals only taking part of your money, instead of all you own, and giving you a chance of winning a set of wine glasses sounds like an exciting idea and would be good for tourism too. The beggars guild keeps the orphans away from the streets and gives them a proper education. And if someone would do a violent, unauthorised robbery, well, no need to bother the Watch, just cut a hole in the river and in they go.

What MacGyver can do with a paper clip, a drinking straw and a rubber band, Jack can do with a blanket

This is arguably the best EH series. Or maybe that's because I'm a crime fan lol XD

For one of the greatest escape artists in history, Shepard sure was bad at avoiding arrest.

Jack Sheppard seems kinda seems like the Fallen London main character (as long as you are a Revolutionary/Criminal with high shadowy and pursuasive)

I was half expecting Jack Sheparde's real name to be Moist von Lipwig
@TheBespectacledN00b 4 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Unfortunately, he did not believe in angels.
@AbsolXGuardian 4 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Moist is a con artist, not a thief. But Vetinari certainly could have found a use for Shepard's skills as well.

@blake-81 4 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Why aren't there movies about Jack Sheppard? I mean, his entire story plays like that of an archetypical action hero- the script writers don't even have to exaggerate! Dude had a badass name (think of how many protagonists are out there with either "Jack" or "Sheppard" on their names), a humble origin, a clever girlfriend, a big mouth (another trait of a good protagonist), and undeniable charm, an evil nemesis, some Deus Ex Machina+1 skills and a Level 99 Plot Armor!

Jonathan Wild deserves a freaking movie!

All of this could've been avoided if Jack had "mysteriously" ended up dead on a street or basement.

Right? For a violent crook Wild sure is eager to get him convicted and properly hanged rather than just beat to death.
@Bombom1300 4 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
@@jok1957 Well, a large part of Wild's persona is as enforcer of the law. He might've underestimated the anger that would result from actually catching Jack. Moreover, he was out of the picture during the execution, so he couldn't work on any counter-publicity to make his point seem more likable..
