Junkyard guy has to be in the intelligent category he saved jesse and walt using off the dome law knowledge
Was about to say that.
Yeah like I thought this guy didn't even watch the show. Because of that scene I've gone into law without an education starting to master it after a year and a half of it.
Spot on ❤
Yeah the humor of this dude turning out to be some sort of legalese kung fu master is one of the most memorable things in the show.
I think you're confusing street smarts with intelligence. It doesn't take a genius to read up on one's legal rights. Everyone should do that
jesse has always been intelligent. theres a difference between immaturity and intelligence. every season you saw him mature and evolve
stupidity is actually a part of immaturity, he was stupid and dumb but became somewhat intelligent after all the experience he had, however, his stupidity during the first few seasons caused a lot of problems and walter had to save him many times.
He is emotionally intelligent
he has emotional intelligence, his talent his empathy, he is a big empath
Jesse is dumb asf, lets accepted it
he is average he didn't do any mind blowing move to get his team out of danger his daddy walter always got his back
I love how Walt was the smartest in the show but lacked wisdom. Goes to show that being intelligent doesn’t correspond with making good decisions in the long term.
he didn't lack wisdom, he lacked time. Bro was already old when he started getting things right (being evil)
@@IaloneAmTHEChoppedONE he lacked both
@@cheesypizzajokes Nah you don't need "wisdom" in the criminal world, what you really need is youthful vitality. That's one of the reasons why Walt teamed up with Jesse. That's why criminal geniuses like Gus start making too many mistakes when they become old and they can't handle it
@@IaloneAmTHEChoppedONE You absolutely need wisdom in the criminal world. You're watching too much fiction.
@@IaloneAmTHEChoppedONE factually wrong, he lacked experience and thus wisdom. Wtf youthful vitality even means? Jesse had an abundance of it, where did it lead him?
Vacuum Guy successfully relocated Walt, Saul and Jesse. We have every reason to believe that he never got caught, and that this wasn't his first rodeo. That guy's a genius in my book.
I wouldnt call him a genius in terms of this tierlist. He was good at his job, but he was playing things super safe. We never seen how his brain works under a pressure. He was rock solid and safe, overall smarter than Walt in that terms, but so was Gustavo..
@@D00RYAI think if you can manage to smuggle a guy on a world wide man hunt, you would have to be genius. That would take a lot.
@@batman89pb16 No, it just takes estabilished connections and route. You mistake being smart with being a genius. Maybe he is, but he lacks screentime and other feats so we dont know how smart he is, but judging from his business alone, no, its not enough to call somebody a genius imo
So is , hank
Arguably the only successful criminal in the entire BCS/BB universe. He’s been doing his thing for years and never been caught or killed. That in and of itself is genius.
Huell is definetly the smartest in this list
Reasonably.. /-_-\
"yea" - Huell
Huell is smarter than Gus
The only person smarter than huell in the fly
Twins and combo are above Elliot , are you insane ?
And Jesse beign smarter than Eliott too lmao
@@thelonewolf70x7He opened own business, and he has a lot of money. Do you really think is he not intelligent?
@@VI-VI228so did elliot
@@itsjayh Ok
@@VI-VI228 👍🏾
If intelligence is to be measured by the ability to solve problems in a creative and fast way, then Mike is by far the smartest of all.
Still not smarter than Gus or Walter, in BCS Mike insist that Lalo died but Gus know Lalo survived, and problem solving must go to Walter, he can solve any problem with some luck and proven to out smart Mike 3 times (the phone call to kill Gale and burning his handcuff scene, also Mike death was not an accident, Walter needed Mike gone so he can kill those 10 men in prison because Mike no longer working for him and Mike was vulnerable at that moment)
Hank outsmarts him
@@dickhead1950 the only reason Gus knew that Lalo was alive was because Hector "told" him, not because of intelligence.
@@redtord7194 a person with lower IQ can outsmart a person with higher IQ. Finding an instance or two where Mike gets "outsmarted" is (in my opinion) not the best way to look at it.
@@Polysthenes Hank outsmarted more intelligent characters featwise and since we do not know the iq of characters we can only estimate by their deduction, outsmarting and other intelligence related feats
Krazy-8 almost convinced waltnto let him live, he was somewhat intelligent
He was intelligent
That's manipulation and charisma, not really intelligence
Walter was looking for any reason to let him go. He wanted to be convinced.
Walt didn’t want to kill him in the first place
It doesn’t really require much intelligence when Walter was looking for every reason not to kill him. Literally. He had a paper and he was trying as hard as he could to list reasons not to kill him. If anything, him taking a glass shard and planning on killing Walter immediately after he was released was dumb as shit and impulsive. And as everyone else said, he was utilizing his people skills, not intelligence. I know some people want to include that under the umbrella of intelligence because everyone deserves their trophy and all, but it’s really not.
The ONE argument for Krazy 8 being intelligent is that he used his deal with the DEA to his advantage to target his competition, but that’s not really all that hard of an idea to come up with considering it happens IRL all the time.
Jane’s father should definitely be in the somewhat intelligent category. He was an air traffic controller after all which definitely requires competency.
Competency is not inteligence.
Raising your daughter to be a drug addict is dumb.
It is if the competency requires problem solving as a pre-requisite@@D00RYA
He fucked that up didn’t he
@@marcusfossa6695 being a wise father doesn't mean being intelligent and smart) Walter is a terrible father and he fucked up his family, but is still a "genius" or a very intelligent man. Family has nothing to do with intelligence
The cousins and Todd shouldn't ranked this high. They're not cunning and strategic, just good at following the orders and get the job done. They should be somewhat intelligent or average.
The twins do know how to handle situations Todd is just s guy
@@Naldinho456 The twins are average intelligence at best. They are extremely lucky to have lived for so long.
@@jek4837 you got a point but their definitely smarter than todd
Hey, Huell was a master pickpocket, and Elliot, had enough intellect to run a 2.16 billion dollar company. They deserve a little bit more credit. Jane, suffered from addiction, and she was a very talented artist. I’d put her in the somewhat intelligent category.
Somewhat inteligent? The girl that went for blackmailing Heisenberg ? Ugh.. that was just dumb
I agree about Elliot, he didn’t just steal Walter’s thing he was Walter’s partner and probably had a good amount of knowledge himself. Jane isn’t that smart tho, talented at art maybe but bad decisions all around
How is a heroin user intelligent? And drawing doesn't prove being intelligent.
I think Elliot should be in intelligent, as he ran a 2.16 billion dollar company. Huell should be average as while he made some very dumb choices such as hitting the police officer over the head, but he is also a very good pickpocket and knows a lot of thievery tricks. Jane should straight up go in dumb though, as she is easily bribed, a drug addict (just one of the reasons, I know that doesn’t automatically make her dumb) and threatened Heisenberg even though she knew how dangerous she was. You can be very artistic without actually being intelligent.
Elliott Schwartz (along with Walt) won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for proton radiology and helped create Grey Matter which is worth $2 billion. His character may be blah, but he belongs in the highest intelligence category you have.
Walt is the one and only one Schwartz just helped him and followed whatever Walt said. If Walt didn’t come out of Grey Matter for sure he would have been the man. He left everything and began his life a chemistry teacher for a reason, it’s mostly Walt’s doing and he just helped
I would say intelligent tier, he won those awards and founded Grey Matter because of Walt’s research but being smart enough to assist in that, run a successful company (as well as having a doctorate in chemistry) says enough about how smart he is
Elliot would’ve died in the Car Wash; I think that is the greatest Uno Reverse Draw Four Card ever used in any media.
@@evenmatter nah that’s just Walter’s propaganda he wants everyone to believe. Most of the information we get about the company comes from Walter and he’s an extremely biased source of information there
@@evenmatter I just love walt simps tearing down every character to make Walt seem like the greatest human being to ever exist.
Elliot grew Grey Matter from the small start up into a billion dollar company, how is he not intelligent?
Cuz Walt simps are the most delulu ppl ever
How is Hollie smarter than some of the characters 💀
Cause she's GOATed
Bc she knew how to stay out of trouble just like gus
a guess based on genes
she has average age on the standards of an baby, not obviously smarter then grown adults obviously
She is daughter of Heisenberg
Jesse is hard to rank cause at the beginning of the show he was dumb, maybe a low average tier at best, and by the end he’s at least somewhat intelligent
Tuco in somewhat intelligent is crazy 😂
I am going to have to agree. Especially after watching Better Call Saul.
Those rankings are off. Salamanca twins, Tuco and Todd are too high. And how is Combo smarter than Elliot?
Tuco is definitely not averages his smart when he doesn't inhale the infinity stones Todd is just a guy twins are some what intelligent they are cold snd calculated
Jane being in the dumb tier should not be an unpopular opinion. She is praised too much
And Heisenberg made the right choice with her.
Jesse is intelligent imo
He became intelligent overtime
His ability to learn is insane he just never cared about stuff so he was dumb
@@CherryICEELover Yep
@@CherryICEELoverwut?
@@CherryICEELover he wan't dumb, just wasn't using his capabilities to the fullest
Junkyard guy was pretty smart when he assisted Jesse and Walt when Hank tried to open the van's door. He was sharp
Wasn’t it him who created that magnet too?
i think the most intelligent ones are walter and jimmy, these two always got out of bad situations
Gus has developed a strategy to destroy the cartel and get the sole management of the business. If it hadn't been for Walter, all of Gus's plans would have been realized. He's the smartest character in the series.
Don't forget the lawyer nothing would have worked out even the whole show without the lawyer
Lol, Bogdan never fired Walt, he quit.
gale is definitely a genius lol
No
@@belmondawg2000why not?
@@metaladd1ctwalter say
@@white18284 ahahahahahahaha
Not everyone with a phd is one, it just means you are a hard worker. That isn't the same.
Badger and skinny pete deserve to at least get intelligent soley based off of they're whole el camino plan.
the police chief should at least get average, he wouldn't just be the chief if he was that dumb
Doubtful
Probably just a hard worker, he was like 70 years old. Assuming he was a cop since 20, 50 years and some luck is enough to make you chief
@@avenautshut up hater
agreed with all but vacuum cleaner guy he is definitely genius for having had that business for that long and never have been caught especially since you gave Gustavo and mike genius it is the same type of intelligence and at the same if not higher levels... legend has it the vacuum cleaner guy is still to this day disappearing criminals at a premium price.
Jesse is definitely intelligent tier. To be able to cook >97% purity on his own, run a distribution network, survive the cartel war, survive Breaking Bad and be the only character with a successful ending, realize when it was time to pull out, most ethical of all the characters. Jesse is definitely extremely intelligent.
He only got that purity because of repetition. He doesn't know the chemistry at all. If all you did was one task for a few years of course your gonna be pretty good at it. Its would be even less impressive in our reality since any retard can get a high purity if they clean it up after. His "distribution network" was 3 of his friends moving stuff and him collecting nothing impressive, pretty much anyone with 3 loyal friends could pull that of. He is kinda smart. He has good social skills and he comes up with some ideas. But he isn't the brains behind most of them. Him getting a good ending was 99% luck too. Not to mention all that bad stuff wouldn't happen to him if he just took the money and moved to another state or country with Brock and his girl and with some good investments lived in luxury for the rest of his life. Instead of that he literally threw away his millions and went to the DEA like a little bitch.
Bro said Todd was intelligent 💀💀💀💀
Manipulated jesse and has quick thinking
Finally a one that respects Skyler
Her intelligence is really there cause of being an accountant as a character she's the worst
Bro really got Jesse intelligence messed up remember his cook for the cartel
This list is really just rating the amount of control these characters had over the situation, not their intelligence.
Hank deserves Genius-Tier. Not before Gus and Walt, but without a doubt a top tier investigator.
If hank was a genius he would’ve suspected it was Walt much sooner.
@@pieceoflintifoundonthefloo554 he kinda did in the beginning, thinking that the similarities between his mysterious suspect and Walter are odd, but he shrugged it off, due to him knowing Walter personally. Just like Gus and Hector, Hank simply underestimated him.
Hank blew the investigation when he blamed the school janitor, should of put guy s
To spy on him, trackers and all and he only got lucky cause of Jessie
Vaccuum guy should be genuis. Being able to disappear people, regardless of how risky the situation is.
Both Gus and Walter are geniuses, but both fell victim to hubris. Skyler is probably the wisest person on the show, along with Mike. Jesse is not dumb by any means. He wised up quickly after life handed his ass to him.
yessss! skyler & jesse are WAY underestimated by the fanbase. cleary the smartest characters of the show.
Jesse was dumb as can be. Guy would've been found overdosed on drugs or in prison if not for plot armor.
Placing Jesse above Elliot, haha
honestly i would put jesse higher cuz he is actually really smart especially in season 5. only thing he is missing is experience and prob having weak side against kids.
The police chief? He didnt even work for the police. He was DEA, his title was ASAC and his name was George Merket. Merket is almost certainly corrupt as opposed to dumb. There are way too many signs that he is purposely derailing Hank and threatened by his keen instincts into Heisenberg / Gus, etc. If you rewatch the series with this in mind, its undeniable. He did everything in his power to keep Hank far away from the blue meth.
I agree with you, this guy is doesn't know how to describe intelligence.
Jane as dumb or the brothers intelligent
Nice video
Tuco should not be in intelligent category - sheer violence without thinking about consequences
Bro hates Jesse for no reason
Jane's dad isn't average. He's an air trafic controller, a job that requires really high intelligence. He catastrophically failed his job once Jane died, but I would attribute that to his emotions getting the better of him. He should have never worked that day.
That said, he's still at least somewhat intelligent if not intelligent.
The list is honest to god accurate, except Skyler being equal to people like Hector and Lydia is just not
Skyler is actually smarter than you think. First one to find out, Smart coverups and money laundering.
@@thecupheadfan1837 Actually she did not directly launder money, she did window dressing which any basic accountant can do. And she found out because she was closest to Walter and he couldn't properly lie to her beloved
"god accurate" 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Man, she fooled the IRS! Do you understand that? She's definitely intelligent
@@thecupheadfan1837of course she found out first she is his wife
Hank is one of the biggest morons of show,it took him so long to realise .Going from the kids finding the respirator which could be linked directly to him to gale's notes and how cocky walt was that night,any half decent detective would have made walt the prime suspect from the respirator that was found by kids ,not poor Hugo ,since walt was the only one in the school with actual chemistry knowledge.
Krazy 8 in dumb tier is crazy 💀 He almost fooled walt to letting him go and elliot should definetely be higher as well
Hector and twins on the same lvl as the vanishing guy???
Cmon bruh
Jesse is between genius and inteligent, only he can learn Walter formula he found the best system for train hit, he found the magnet system ....
If you give gale the same amount of time as Jesse he would easily get 99%
Junkyard guy was pretty dang smart....
Jesse was definitely intelligent maybe borderline Genius when it came to learning since he was the only other person alive who had the brains to learn heisenburgs recipe.
Victor belongs in somewhat intelligent. He was able to cook a batch of meth. He only got killed because bad timing at a murder scene he didn't even do.
why is the fly from that one episode not on the tier list ?😢
Wow. The Salamanca twins were average intelligence at best. They were ruthless, fearless, and determined, but they were dumb. They made horrible decisions and were extremely lucky to have lived for so long.
I like how Jesse's intelligence confronted with himself, like when in EL CAMINO that vacon cleaning guy says that he's calling the cops for Jesse, but Jesse says something like "yoo you're lying, bcs you don't hang up when you're calling the cops" but they show up a second later😂
This like the rarest Tierlist that I 100% agree to
Walt panicked and hid all the money in one place, plus he made hank reopened the case , when he thought it was over , when he thought it was gale
Walt jr's inteligence would be breakfast tier.
Jesse is intelligent, he just doesn't apply himself, just as Walt said when he taught Jesse at high school. Mike is not a genius, he's just an ex-cop with some tricks up his sleeves he learned during his time as a corrupted cop.
Lalo was the most genius in the entire BB universe - He was just unlucky.
and he outsmarted Gus in a terrific way
@@Marcel_hispano He outsmarted Gus, Mike, Nacho, Jimmy (Saul) along with the entire DEA.
@@srijanchakraborty8704 when did Lalo outsmart Nacho?
@@Marcel_hispano the whole plot to kill lalo - lalo escaped - i wouldn't say that he outsmarted nacho - but was betrayed because he trusted him.
@@srijanchakraborty8704 yeah he was also outsmarted by Gus Mike and Nacho at different points as well so...
Cool list. I dont think this is meant to be that precise anyways so idk why people try to correct it. I thought it was funny he put holly above so many characters 😂😂
Jesse is as genius as Walter White is. Otherwise Walter White wouldn't have fallen in love with him as a partner in the first place. In one of the final moments, he solved a very complex mind-game just looking at a cigarette pack. His good-spirited nature made you put him there. Get better at your judgements. Best.
This just reinforces that we need another spin-off, focused on Gus and/or Mike.
I also want It, but the real Life Héctor actor died so It would be a bit limited in the storyline since Héctor was the main reason gus became so evil
Except for Todd, I agree with the most of it, or it's really close! Great tierlist imo👏
Marie deserves the dumb tier.
"Jesus, Marie. It's mineral."
Marie deserves the same tier as Hank. She was the only one to treat
Walt like an adult when they debated his cancer treatement, she knew that what happened between Walt and
Skyler wasn't just an affair and when the truth came out she understood what was going on and was supporting Hank. Plus the poison she talked about would be the best way to get rid of Walt.
I think the guy who helped walt and jesse in the van deserves better
How do you rank Juan Bolsa?
I love how main character is in "other characters"
Im at a firm belief that Jesse has a potential for intelligence relative to that of walter, but is rarely able to tap into it and apply himself due to being a Junky or in an apathetic depression for the majority of the show. But when he actually starts caring about things and puts in the work, his intelligence really shows.
He came up with the train heist, the magnet sabotage, sees through walter and Saul's manipulations, comes up with the plan to take walt down (which almost works, until both he and walt loose to the nazis), sees through todd's manipulations, Makes BETTER meth than walt (as said by skinny pete in BRBA finale), escapes a massive police manhunt, outsmarts and kills Neil and his group and covers up the whole encounter, and successfully ends up as the only main character to get alive and free. And all of that occurs when Jesse is clean from drugs and in a clearer headspace than he was in S1-4.
damn my eyes are burning with that "Somewhat intelligent" alignment
Crazy eight wasn´t dumb. He almost, almost talked him out of being killed with Walt, and had a plan on how to get out alive, which almost worked. Would have worked with anyone else than Walt.
Andrea should be in the dumb category. Who walks outside with a stranger with no protection in the middle of the night? Lmao
Oh shut up
If I a guy with 0 previous knowledge in chemistry cooks the second purest meth in United States I would consider him as a very intelligent guy
He followed Walter's formula to a tea gale with no formula got the sane amount if gale had the same training from Walter he would get 99% easy
The junkyard guy knew the law from the memory, pacing him in average is an insult
how can u put 2 brothers in inteligent when instead of killing hanks they let them got killed by him
Plot Armor
I get that Elliot's financial success is dependent on Walt's work, but he was still Walt's colleague. And you're putting him under COMBO?
and marie is literally a medical professional there was a scene where she was naming some illnesses that takes some good memory, marie is definetly somewhat intelligent if not average definetly not dumb
Laughed my ass off when he put the baby in dumb tier 💀🤣🤣
Hank deserves been in the genius category, He was the only one who knew almost everyone that was a criminal, Like gus, mike and lidia.
People who watch the show underestimate how smart Skyler is
Andrea - I agree she's average intelligence. maybe a little dumb
Badger - Badger is around average. he's just stupid (which just means unwise) and uneducated. He's also a little lazy. I'd put him in average though.
Bogdon - he's prob between somewhat intelligent and average. most CEOs have to be somewhat intelligent.
Broc - average.
Badger's Cousin - average tier.
Combo - like Badger, he's uneducated but he's a little less foolish than Badger, even though he gets himself shot. he's average. though he is charismatic.
The Twins - these two are more intimidating and serious than most characters in the show. and because of their icy demeanor and the fact that they're emotionless and nigh-psychopaths, they seem more intelligent than they really are. though they are SOMEWHAT intelligent, I'd say they're closer to just being logical, which doesn't mean you're highly intelligent.
Vacuum Cleaner Guy - this guy is intelligent. I mean, of course, you have to be to do what he does. However, I think he's more wise than anything since his occupation relies more on wisdom and experience than intelligence. he's also old.
Don Eladio - Eladio is far more charismatic, cool-minded, logical, and a bit more intelligent than Hector Salamanca. Don is very smart. He's in between Highly intelligent and Intelligent. I think Don's cool personality allows him to use his intelligence more efficiently and make fewer mistakes. But I don't think Don is anywhere near a genius.
Emilio - Emilio is an idiot
Gale - Gale is a bit likable in his own way but he's otherwise socially retarded. but when it came to science and all that, Gale was certainly pretty intelligent. but nowhere near a genius. Anybody with a slightly above-average IQ who studies science for their whole lives would turn out just like that guy. Gale is slightly above-average intelligence.
Police Chief - the guy is wiser than he is intelligent but he is pretty smart. I don't think he's dumb. though he does make foolish decisions.
Elliot - Elliot, like Gale, is a complete nerd though Elliot is more intelligent than Gale. I'd say he's just intelligent.
Steve Gomez - Steve is maybe slightly above-average intelligence. he's not as smart as Hank though.
Gus Fring - Gus is without a doubt a genius. He's on the same level of intelligence as Walter White. However, he's also more logical, methodical, and wiser than Walter, partly due to living a life of crime, being educated, and being born a genius. Though Walter has an advantage, which i will touch on once we get to him.
Hank - Hank isn't highly intelligent or a genius but he is pretty smart. He's charismatic and likable. but he's also slick and not an idiot. of course, it took him long to figure out that Walt is Heisenberg but that's because Hank is the kind of guy to be blinded by his own view of the world, a trait a lot of macho-man characters possess. Hank was able to nearly outsmart even Mike and figure out that Mike has connections to Gus and Heisenberg.
Hector - Hector has some wisdom under his belt but he's very emotional in terms of the amount of rage he has. he's a pure sociopath who gets what he wants through brute force rather than intelligence, which is part of why Gus despises him, along with the fact that Hector killed Gus's boyfriend. Hector isn't as intelligent as people think but he surely isn't a moron either and he KNOWS how to make people uneasy and intimidated. he's also rather cunning.
Holly - for all we know, Holly could be a genius or she could be a moron.
Heull - I don't think he's a moron but I do think he's somewhat stupid/unwise due to some of the decisions he's made and how easy it is to fool him. he also relies on intimidation though it comes mostly from the way he looks. I mean he's a nearly two-meter tall big fat black guy. he's not a little old man like Hector Salamanca, who was able to intimidate a tall 20-something-year-old in Better Call Saul, who didn't know that Hector was in the cartel.
Jack - Jack is a complete psychopath but that doesn't make him intelligent. It makes him somewhat logical. But I will say that Jack is intelligent enough to know that letting Hank live would've wounded him in jail, despite what Walter was saying.
Jane - Jane is of average intelligence. She is, however, EXTREMELY unwise due to the choices she's made. She is a little cunning and persuasive.
Jane's Dad - ehh I think he's also average. he might be a little stupid too, seeing how easily he's fooled by his daughter.
Jesse - Jesse's intelligence IS above average. However, I will say, like most criminals, he is pretty unwise and he makes a lot of foolish, emotionally driven choices. But he's far from moronic. He can be fooled by Walter and Saul but that didn't last forever. And he does gain experience as the show progresses. But considering that he's just a young man and a criminal, he isn't the wisest man in the world. he's charismatic and he's a little persuasive too but he usually persuades people like stupid girls or drug addicts who are methed out of their minds.
Kaylee - average. she's just a kid.
Krazy-8 - Although he is a bit of a coward in some circumstances and although he does make stupid decisions, Krazy is actually decently intelligent. i mean he's successful and he is a good liar. he was a snitch working for the DEA but nobody close to him ever figured it out. He's also rather charismatic and ALMOST charmed Walter White, who's the smartest character on the show, into letting him free.
Patrick Kuby/Bill Burr - verbally, Bill is pretty smart and he does carry himself in a way a decently smart guy would. he's a pretty cautious guy and he can convincingly repeat shit told to him on an earpiece. a moron couldn't do that.
Lydia - Lydia is very intelligent but she's extremely neurotic and nervous all the time, making her a slave to her intelligence, which is rarely a good thing. People like that either believe ridiculous shit they've convinced themselves or they are nervous wrecks, like Lydia. She gets worse as time goes on and this behavior leads her to make mistakes.
Marie - Marie in some ways is similar to Lydia. she's basically a mixture of Walter White, Lydia, and Skylar.
Junkyard Guy - this dude is a bit wise and he's actually pretty slick, able to make Hank look somewhat like a fool, having a legal-law battle with him as if he was some lawyer. I think he's decently intelligent. nothing special.
Jesse's Parents - it's kinda hard to say if they're particularly intelligent. I think they're between decently intelligent and average.
Saul Goodman/Jimmy McGill - Saul isn't a genius like Gus, Walter, or his brother. But he is close to that level. He's around the same level of intelligence as Mike. but of course, there are some differences. Saul, in my opinion, is one of the most unpredictable characters in the show. I mean, even characters like Tuco are pretty predictable because you know he's going to do something crazy. but Saul's cowardly demeanor leads you to believe he's going to do something cowardly, and then he ends up doing some of the bravest things I've seen a character do on TV. I mean just look at the final episode of BCS and you'll know what I'm talking about. I think Saul is extremely slick, charismatic, persuasive, intelligent, tactical, and cunning. though he is emotional and sometimes impulsive and he makes a lot of stupid decisions due to his greed and selfishness.
Skinny Pete - like Badger, Skinny Pete is rather unwise though he is wiser than Badger, Jesse in season 1, and Combo, likely due to being a bit older than the 3. he's pretty charismatic and likable too and it's harder to play him than Badger and even Jesse at times. He's also a pretty good musician, which is worth something.
Skylar White - I agree with you, she does have brains. I mean being a woman, she's pretty emotional but she is surprisingly logical, cunning, persuasive, and hard to fool. She pretty much knew something was up with Walter from the get-go and she aided him later on in the show. Though her helping Walter was rather unwise.
Ted - Ted is a bit charismatic but the guy is a fuckin idiot. I think he's close to the most moronic characters in the show.
Todd - like his uncle, this guy is a psycho but I think he's a moron. yes, he is part of some intelligent operations but like an idiot, he just shoots a kid. I actually have a theory that Todd suffers from some form of Asperger's or something.
Tomas - probably average intelligence. he literally says 4 words in the whole show.
Tortuga - I mean you're led to believe this man was wise but he was dumb enough to fall for the twins and Juan Bolsa's trap. he's average intelligence and for a cartel member of his age, he's rather unwise.
Tuco - Tuco is actually a bit smarter than Hector but he's way more emotional and erratic. This guy was really funny too. Despite him being a complete nutjob, he's a master of intimidation and he's a LITTLE cunning.
Tyrus and Victor - Tyrus was quiet and he was pretty intelligent. though he doesn't say or do much to prove he's anything above intelligent. victor was pretty unwise, despite being rather smart.
Walt Jr. - Junior isn't stupid, despite his condition. though he is pretty socially awkward. I do believe he will improve his social skills over time. I also think Junior, despite being socially inept, has a hint of charisma.
Mike - Mike is not a genius but he's extremely intelligent and very wise. he's composed, almost always able to control the emotions within him and he's very methodical, strategic, tactical, and resourceful. he's a decent improviser but not as good as Walter White. due to Mike's wisdom and logical personality, he could see right into and right through people. and it's difficult to intimidate him.
Did you even watch breaking bad?
Jesse is not dumb he's just has kind heart
Ranking intelligence is always tricky tbh, you can't rank it easily considering there is iq, eq, ecc
Thanks for following my idea! I know you’ll grow big one day.
Krazy-8 almost manipulated Walter. If walter was a little dumb he would have killed him i think he deserves somewhat intelligent.
Yeah Krazy-8 is actually pretty smart but Emelio was stupid
Bro really said a millionare (Elliot) is average when 95% of people aren't going to be one.
fr how is Elliot less intelligent than Combo or Tuco? This list is ass.
I’ll put the vacuum guy as genius and move combo, skinny pete, tuco and tyrus down to average
Turns displayed some what of a photographic memory in a scene with Mike
The four GENIUS are legit asf
Hank should be a genuins, he find out the fact about all
He put a little kid above a police chief
Mike a genius? Not at all. He survives because of his experience, his caution and his wisdom, not his intelligence. I mean, he isn't dumb, he is something like somewhat intelligent. Nothing more.
Putting Skyler with Fring on intelligent tier is totally a clickbait. you got me there.
Crazy-8 found a way to get out of Jesse's basement with a plate, i don't think that he is dumb, he is at least average, at least based on what we've seen during his screen time
It's sad how everyone missed nacho. He must be in "Intelligent"
Trailer guy saved Walt and Jesse a lot of time from Hank and knew his rights I would’ve definitely put him in Intelligent
We don't know Max, but I don't think he was dumb ahah. This guy held two degrees in chemistry. I wish I was as stupid as he is 😂
Hot take : Marie and Walt Jr are the only 2 characters who should be in genius category.
When Elliot - winner of the Nobel prize and owner of 2 billion dollars business is dumber than Combo
I disagree about Don Eladio. Somewhat intelligent while rule the cartel for many years is not just. I would put him in the intelligent section. Also the cousins should be one level below.
he didn't really know the whole story
Crazy 8 almost convince Walter to release him, that shows some intelligence. He shouldn't be in the "Dumb" category.
Because Walter was looking for every reason not to kill him. Literally, he had a list of reasons not to kill him and we get to see him struggle to find more reasons. And the only reason Walter kills him is because he (stupidly and impulsively) held onto a ceramic shard instead of deciding to come back later and finish him. And even if it was him that almost convinced Walter instead of Walter’s somewhat present at the time moral compass, I’d say it’s more people skills than intelligence. Intelligence is characterized by stuff like memory, speed of processing information and learning new skills, abstract reasoning skills, spatial reasoning skills, etc.
Puting the twins in intelligence dosnt seem right to me, no doubt they had guts, but intelligence ? Not so much
Persona 5 music surprisingly fits well here.
