Hey I was wondering if you guys could do videos on anime’s, such as Your Lie in April. I think that would great.
Why the hell isn’t there a link for part 2 in either the description, or in this post?
Could you do a video on loyal gomy? Mr. Quezada needs an honoring send off to his noble character.
whats that guitar music name?
I thought the $10.99 I'm paying every month for CZcams premium would get rid of the ads
Walt didn't win. He just made damn sure that his enemies didn't either.
That honestly is one of the best ways to see the end of Breaking Bad.
That depends on how you look at winning. If his initial goal was to feed his ego, to show his potential, then he certainly won. If his initial goal was to provide money post-death for his family, then he certainly won.
If his goal was for his family to be better off after he was gone, he failed colossally. One of his family members is dead. His wife is a shell of her former self, and Walt Jr. is likely traumatized.
I'm not convinced Walt died that night. We'll see in a week or so when el Camino comes out. While it makes sense, Hank is dead, Walt was just fading out from the gun shot. Sure, the cancer was eating him up. But, in cinema, nothing is final until it's shown to be final.
@@natemurphy7758 Even if he didn't die. He would have been sent to jail because of all the police that started going through Uncle Jack's compound.
@@ejaybugboy3yt obviously, plus, he was wanted, still, also. Something tells me they left it semi open for a reason.
if only he hadn't left that book on the toilet....
I think it's better that Hank figured it out, because then Skylar got redemption. Skylar would've been the "bad guy" forever, the wife that hated her husband for his gambling addiction, the wife that tried to kill herself, the wife that cheated on her dying husband... Plus, Walter did that deliberately, I think. I think he wanted to show the world that he was Heisenberg, and the police were not going to figure it out before he died. I think he wanted to get caught at that point
If only he didnt tell hank that gale’s notebook was copied...
ell.is.ellis i disliked skyler from the start to finish consistently
@@markocumic8287 she looks like an alien
@@salahsaadsalah7509 yeah, but she's still a human being. You have to think about what you would do in this situation. I'm sorry, but if you side with Walter in any of this...
The way I saw it: He won the game he never should’ve been playing, but lost the game that really mattered
Great way to put it
That’s good
Yeppp
That's deep
on god
Walt's spiral started when he let Jane die. It became more and more about protecting himself even at the cost of people who care for him. What a brilliant show. The best I think.
It´s kinda of like in Death Note, where Light´s downfall is starting to have his allies killed off if they fail, which jeopardizes the morality highground he once had
I have a hard time picking a favorite between BB TS and TW
I mean, he did kill two guys by episode 6
Jane was trash. Easily one of the worst characters. Good riddance, really.
I always assumed it was when he sold his share in gray matter and wounded his own pride
Walt lost. *Heisenberg won*
@Donnell Mihoch
Walt realized that he wanted to be Heisenberg all along, both sides amalgamated to be one true entity.
Its more of an allegory way of informing the audience.
@number one internet content fear is not the same as respect.
Donnell Mihoch Holy shit, REALLY?
Disney Sopranos. Bohr Seong-jin.
I'm disapointed. Holly's first Word wasn't ASAC SHRADER.
Walter White: Say my name
Holly: Heisenberg
Walter White: You’re GodDamn right
cmon say it a.s.a.c shraaader
Lmao
Ballsack Schrader
What is ASAC?
The thing I loved about Walts final conversation with Skyler is the fact he admits the truth.
And the undeniable truth is, he got into the drug business for his family, he stayed in the business for his own ego
He never got into the drug business for his family it was always for him and his ego , Vince Gilligan said they purposefully made Gretchen and Eliot offer him a job and to pay for his medical bills in the very first episode, so that it would take the excuse of him needing to do it away, he did it because he was too proud to accept charity from the two people he felt wronged him the most in life
@@koalanate5549 no, he did it for his family and he always valued family more than anything else.
@@koalanate5549 stop being ignorant. He started for his family. If you watched the show with any type of sense you wouldn’t say that. Please, stop being ignorant
@@HelloMedicAnkit you completely missed the whole point of the show, he didn`t value family more than anything else and he even admits it eventually
@@Darduel well when he admits the fact, do you think he really mean it?? Or he just said that so nasty wife don't start to scream again
I think when Gus told Walt "A man provides for his family whether or not they appreciate it or respect him for it" had a big impact on Walt. In the end Walt was willing to sacrifice their respect and even their love in order to see they didn't struggle when he was gone. He just never realized what he was walking into until it was too late.
"You want them to miss you when you are gone" -Walt
I don't think Walt did what he did only for his family, it may have started it off that way but soon it turned into a power trip untill he was left with nothing and it was loneliness that drove him to assume the provider's role again, cz that's all he had at the end.
If he wanted to help his family and not burden them with debt for his treatments, he would have taken the job at Grey Matter in season 1. He didn't because he couldn't bear the thought of only being given the job because he was pitied by the owners of a huge corporation that he feels he should own instead, since it was his research that build it. Instead, he dragged his family into a world of crime and violence and constantly put them in danger of being targeted by the cartels, all because of his pride
It was never about his family… it was about his regrets. Him selling his company for 5000 that’s worth billions haunted him. Faced with death and regrets this was his chance to prove his intelligence since selling out for 5k would make anyone feel incredibly stupid. He created his empire. If it was about his family and not him he wouldn’t kill his brother in law… or go that far. He had more than enough to set them up for life but his inability to sell out again was the death of his family.
@@derekmarks1479 All of the above comments make valid points. It speaks to the complexity of Walt's character and the way he faced his impending death. Although providing for his family when he was gone was his original motivation, he quickly became addicted to the excitement of pitting his genius against a string of very dangerous opponents and the thrill of outwitting them. Like he told Skyler in their last conversation: "I did it for me, it made me feel alive." Walt felt his drug empire was his one great achievement in a lifetime of failure. No wonder he couldn't just walk away from it and simply wait to die.
"you're a drug dealer"
"No Skyler, I'm a drug lord"
"No, Walt, you're a deluded insecure megalomaniac who got way over his head after failing upwards on blind luck,"
@@Alknix Hey, I wanna take my moments to say thank you for helping me to re-ignited the passion on why I love this show.
I have a short memory, but our little heated argument has allowed me to remember on a lot of good things from the show. The things that I didn't realize until now, I finally realize that Walt is a villain.
This justified all the bad things he does, but here is the silver linings many like you have missed. We saw how Walt evolved, adapted and get better as he gain experience from the drug trade, he also has to outsmarted his competitors and even fight for his survival.
Those special traits ultimately allowed him to explore the underworld of the drug trade. He was our eyes and he able to eliminated very dangerous drug lords, even the very elusive one. Even Hank from the DEA has a hard time tracking them down.
You probably be asking, "What's all this have to do with why I hate Skylar and Walt Jr?" That's actually a very good question, because in one of the interview, the actor who play Walt even admitted that Skylar played her roll well and that shes a biatch.
Anyway, let's back to the beginning where Walt went to the hospital for cancer treatment. As you already know, they got hit by a crushing bill that they never able to repay.
Walt was given a golden opportunity of a lifetime and he choose a profession that sell drug to support his family because he happened to be a chemistry teacher.
When doctors choose that profession, do you think they did it out of goodwill or they did for money to support their family? The enormous bill where hospital charge for the cancer treatment is like a dangerous drugs, they also destroy life. Have you ever thought about that?
If you're Walt, what would you do differently to help your family with the cancer treatment debt?
And how do you manage to keep Skylar and Walt Jr to be supportive of you as your medical bills keep stacking up?
@@condorX2
"what would you do differently "
I would've accepted the generous offer made by my former business associate Elliot Shwartz, that would've taken care of medical bills.
@@Alknix Ah nice respond. Short and sweet. I totally forgot about that scene lol. I only remember the part where Walt wanna scare them with laser sights. Anyway.
I have a question due to my bad memory. Why did Walt turned down their offer? I think it has to do with a misunderstanding between Walt and his associates?
@@condorX2 Pretty much just bruised ego. Many years prior he'd sold his share of the company for 5000 USD because of some unspecified falling out (most common theory - Gretchen left him for Elliot), and then spent his entire life obsessing over their success. He convinced himself that G&E cut him out and built their huge business solely on his work, which probably has some grain of truth in it, but he's clearly grossly exaggerating. So, when Elliot, after learning about his cancer, offered him a job or just to pay for all his medical bills, Walt flew off the handle and chose to make poison rather than accept the "charity".
Flynn is the son of Walter White.
Jesse is the son of Heisenberg.
Jesse is son of Mike
@@bitik9847 more like mentor
Walt JR***
Flynn is the son of Ted Beneke. Think about it he shares no resemblance to Walt. Not to mention Skyler had some sort of affair in the past seeing how she comes across a picture and clutches it close to her chest in season 1 episode 5 or 6 right before Hank comes to talk to her about the avoidance Skyler is having with Marie over the stolen tierra. Then how she sings her imitation of Marilyn Monroe's happy birthday. Then while she's having an affair with Ted he asks how the kids are doing and when she mentions Walt Jr, Ted says well he's got good genes.

He felt alive for the first time in his life when he started cooking, and it lasted two years until he died, and he died happily knowing he had made himself world famous, feared, eliminated all earthly threats and left his money to his family, created the best product anyone had ever seen, and claimed revenge on those who wronged him. The cost of this was hanks life and walts family’s mental health. He left them financially sound, but he put them through such intense trauma they’ll never recover.
"Cooking".....He perfected his art.
His family...well, your marriage probably was shit anyway if you're wife cheats on you to get even for drug dealing, even though you're dealing to provide for your family. What's the other option? Dont do anything, get cancer, and your wife bangs someone rich to provide for your family when you're dying or when you've died?
True, It’s similar to the Dark Knight where even though the Joker got Arrested he managed to destroy most of the good people.
I loved the episode where Jesse's friends were having this amazing conversation about Star Trek while they were stoned out of their minds.
me, too. Transporting the contents of a stomach in order to win an eating contest.
Wasn't it about zombie videogames?
@@B0K0691 there were two scenes like this (one about Star Trek, one about L4D and RE4) and I love them both
The quality of this show was 99.1% everyone had such good chemistry
Mukamuka Sector underrated comment
That’s honestly a genuine and believable review
Similar to how the show Chernobyl gets 3.6 out of 3.6 stars. 😉
No pun intended
Smart comment 😂
The fact that people are still analysing this show speaks to its greatness.
Real talk
I’ve watched it once by myself, and I rewatched the entire thing with my girlfriend again. And I would watch it a 3rd time if it means having another friend watch it with me!
@@IdHitThatWithMyTruck I'm currently rewatching it too. Best TV show ever made
30 years from now our children will be analyzing this series
It’s one of those things like the dark knight or resident evil 4 where it’s so good people are gonna keep coming back for decades
You know, the one question that bugs me more than whether Walt objectively won or lost is whether Walt subjectively thought it was worth it.
Just look at him smiling as he dies. There's your answer right there.
That's not even a question . It was worth it for him 100%
Objectively he totally lost. Ruined his entire family's lives, got his brother in law killed and died himself. How can you frame that as a win objectively? Not possible
@@Joe-yj9yf he lost. He wanted to be missed and remembered and his family ultimately wanted nothing to do with him.
@@defnotatroll why not,walt is objectively won,he got the money,he got his family saved,killed all the enemy and threat completely,free jesse by his own choice,walt is not a hero,a saint,he is a criminal,and what he got is what he sign for.
I didn't like Jack's gang, hated Todd more after seeing El Camino, but the moment I'd been waiting was definitely Walt's play on Lydia. The woman was so terrible I couldn't believe she lived longer than Mike (always stood by him on pulling the trigger in the earlier episodes, so sad), but the point of the Chekhov's gun here really amazed me, when I saw it I was like "holly molly Walt you did it".
Just finished BB for the first time and this is exactly what I was saying to my boyfriend “How the hell did Lydia outlive Mike”.
God she’s so despicable
On god, she deserved that bullet
You know what else is poetic ......... he shot Todd's uncle in the middle of a sentence he was saying ..........just like he shot Hank in the middle .... i loved that
Great observation 💙
Speaking of middle. Go watch the alternate ending, it has a “Malcom in the Middle” reference
Nice observation buddy!
That was of course very much intended.
@@naveen5086 holy shit even after watching breaking bad thrice, I didn't realize it
Gretchen and Elliot saying Walt didn’t do shit pissed me off so much.
Grow up. The had to disassociate themselves from him to preserve their reputation. Not their fault he'd poisoned his name.
True bro
@@Alknix Why are you so aggressive in your comments?
@@crod9905 Sorry, I do tend to get angry when people sympathyse with or extoll murderous assholes and denegrade their victims. I know it's not the most mature thing to do, and that viewers have nothing to do with the characters, but I just can't help it - I want to reach through the screen, grab that poor sod by the collar, shake them (gently) and yell: "Wake up! They would've paid for his entire treatment, if he'd let them, and you're pissed at THEM for saying mean things about HIM, a drug dealer and a murderer."
Cus saying he did would be good for the brand, wouldn’t it?
I dont really like the whole "walt vs heisenberg" thing
It wasnt some entity inside of him.
It was just.. Walt
As dexter put it "its easier to imagine a monster doing such unspeakable things than it is to imagine a person"
💯
People act like it's a split personality
I say it’s a shadow self, the worst part of him. It may be who he is, but there are other parts of him who are also who he is. By the end though that shadow self was all of Walt.
Jesse : You wanna cook Crystal Meth?
Walt : No.
The End.
Then his brain said: "Aight, imma head out."
And his mouth said: "Let's do it".
Lydia getting hers was one of my favorite parts. Least favorite was when Walt killed Mike. Mike was a badass.
Yea I didn’t see that coming at all. Mike should have lived
I loved mike getting killed that old lizard had it coming so long lol
Mike should have died, but it was all about how, but walt killing mike was my least favourite too
mike was my favourite character in this show. he was smart and strong. he probably never failed to do his job
Mike's carelessness at the end was one of my few complaints with the show's writing. Being the super careful guy that he was (through years of being "in the business"), he would've checked the duffle bag for his gun IMMEDIATELY after taking it from Walt...especially since we see him dispose of all of his weapons into a well, right before he's about to leave town. It just felt too clumsy a mistake for him to make.
Legend says huel is still hiding in the warehouse from walt
There was a teaser for el camino that showed heull leaving
Lmao😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Underrated comment😂
transylvanian hunger pfp🙏
they made an entire episode around 50 minutes all about catching a fly and they kept me on my toes through all of it. love this show
''you either die a hero a live long enough to see yourself become a villain'' applies to walt without a doubt
Almost 6 years later we are all still compelled by this masterpiece of television.
6 years ago! No way
One, if not the, best show ever. For me it is between Breaking Bad & Mad Men.
This by far the greatest tv show ever. What makes it so amazing is they knew when to end it, didn’t ruin the show by putting out pointless season destroying the series
It's more like 10 years and did they brainwash you to say it's the ultimate masterpiece
Valeria Ismerai Garcia Adame and what do you consider a masterpiece this is us or all natural 😂
He avenged Hank, freed Jesse, tied up the loose ends, and died with a smile on his face. Of course he won.
He also lost the one thing he said he was doing this for. "...to win a war is every bit as disastrous as to lose one."--Agatha Christie
He also caused Jesse's torture, the death of hank, and his daughter won't have a dad.
Elijah the polack Walt won, he wouldn’t have died with a smile on his face if he felt that he had lost.
@@johnathonhaney8291 Wow, This quote is almost perfect, except logically even if you are going to have losses that outweighs the victory, it is still better to have the victory rather than suffer the losses with a defeat. I know the quote is meant to bring attention to the cost of winning a war. But it feels unsatisfactory on surface reading. I'm wondering whether it can tweaked a bit to have the emotive meaning but keep the logic intact on the surface.
Elijah the polack His daughter wasn’t going to have a dad anyway. The cancer was going to take him anyway.
"Just because you killed Jesse James, doesn't make you Jesse James"....best line
Walter white remembers me the phrase "You either die as a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villian". He lived enough to become the villian.
He was always the villain
The Dark Knight (2007) has a similar ending where people can decide whether or not the Joker won
@@derianmendoza5833the phrase is from the movie dark knight. Two face says it
That phone call Walt has with Lydia explaining how he poisioned her... beautiful.
So satisfying!
Fucking beautiful..
ikr i hate lydia. such a dumbass
Did the posioning take place on screen? Because I didn't know when Walt put the ricin on her tea.
@@fairfight9857 no but he met up with her at the cafe that lydia and that one guy always met up at and told her there.
The end of their marriage/love was when Skyler asked him DID YOU BRING YOUR PHONE, WALT? And he responded by saying WHICH ONE
@Dennis Reynolds My big takeaway from Skylar's character is that she wants to wear the pants in the marriage. As Walter has stated, ever since he got married he doesn't get to make his own choices and wanted at the time to not do chemo treatment.
Even after she found out about Walt's true job and got involved, she tries to control the situation time and time again whether it's picking out the "front business" to purchase, or just giving $600,000 to a guy she was having an affair with w/out even telling Walt.
I personally despise Skylar's OCD tendencies, which doomed the marriage before it ever even started (Men gotta be in the driver's seat of the marriage, otherwise the wife WILL lose all respect for you).
@@duyvuitton6019 I think that's a very good point but I don't see how this is entirely Skyler's fault. Walt should've manned up.
@@duyvuitton6019 stfu
@@duyvuitton6019 wat
@@nath7557 Do you mean him manning up like admitting to Skylar he's been cooking meth so that she leaves the house and takes the kids anyways?
Or did you mean him manning up by doing the chemo and NOT begging for free money like Skylar wanted?
Or do you mean him manning up by making the money needed to pay for hospital treatments + family future funds, just to have Skylar give $600k of that money away to a guy she "doesn't know why she had an affair with"?
Walt should have came clean sooner, but that should not detract from the real crime here which is the ridiculous high cost of cancer health care which banksrupts the average joe.
EVEN BIGGER CRIME: All cancers are intentionally allowed to thrive by Big Pharma and their MMR Vaccine. The additive "nagalase" in the vaccine disables the human body's ability to kill cancer cells. The human body by default kills cancer cells, but the 'nagalase' additive disables this ability. Say no to vaccines, especially this new CoronaVirus vaccine that Bill Gates and company wants to release.
The look on Walters face when he says “I was good at it” while talking to Skyler in felina just scratched that itch
Some clever person on another comment section said if you look close at Skyler's shadow in Holly's room in the last scene where Walter leaves . Her shadow looks as if it's hanging from a noose . Very deep and sad now I notice it . I noticed that Skyler finally let go once he told her the truth after watching Breaking the second time round. I felt for Skyler's character more. I think all she wanted was the full truth . She went through absolute hell
damn
I just looked that up. Wow
“It can’t all be for nothing”
This quote hits so hard, it makes you realize he’s literally ruined his life and the end goal is being denied to him anyway.
At least he felt alive for about 2 years.
He ruined the life he had but by the end he decides he regrets none of it, because it was when he felt the most alive. He liked being a bad person and he finally admitted it, just before he died.
he didnt ruin his life. He loved those two years. He was alive for the first time in his life
He loved the THUG LIFE!
@@soniccookie655"bad person" - did you miss the complexity of the characters in the show? That\s such a childish thing to say - "bad person".
Just finished Breaking Bad, what a beautifully written show.
I just finished watching the show myself and my only complaint is Jesse. I damn near stopped watching because this guy was so annoying. He became tolerable in season 4 thank God. I also hated how Walt seemed to care more about Jesse than his own family. It made no sense caring that much about a unrelated junkie. Other than that the show was perfect.
- Swayze - Jessie was great and has good character development, Skyler was the one who was the most annoying.
beep bop Jesse was nothing but an emotional teenage girl for the first 3 seasons. Irresponsible whiny junkie. I hated his character the most. Skyler is a woman so that emotional nonsense is expected. Plus Walt was literally always lying to her.
@@Swayze_S.L Agreed. Fascination with this bland and boring junkie is beyond my comprehension.
Same
He wanted to die
He didnt want treament
The only reason he decided to start chemo was because he decided he was gonna live his way
And he did
He may have destroyed his family but i dont think he really cared all too much
So yes. He won
What? He obviously cared about his family + Jesse included. Why'd he go so much out of his way to make sure they got whatever money he could have left behind if he didn't? Why didn't he just keep on cooking meth after Hank died if he didn't care about his family? When his cancer came back, he chose to quit cooking meth so that he could spend the remaining time he had with his family fully intact. If empire building was hia true priority, why didnt he just keep doing that instead? He just wanted to have his cake and eat it, too- which he couldn't.
@@kylealejandro2022 i don’t think he ever did anything for his family, that was just his excuse so he didn’t feel like a bad person. He even admitted at the end that he did it all for himself. He started cooking meth because Hank told him he’d take care of his family when he was gone, and his ego was too big to let his brother help him. It was never about his family, it was about asserting his dominance.
@@haileyadkins8412 it was definitely about his family- just not ONLY about it. He can be a selfish man and putting himself first while also putting his family a close second.
If it was all about him, then why does he go through such great lengths to make sure that Hank doesn't die? He literally is willing to give up all of his money to bargain for Hank's life.
If it was only about him then why does he even start treating Jesse like extended family? He could have easily dropped Jesse multiple times but he goes through insane lengths to make sure that Jesse stays under his care.
If it wasn't about family, then why was it that his breaking point was when his son wished he was dead over the phone?
Being a meth king was when he felt most alive, but he realizes that none of it matters if he can't have that and have his family as well. That's what his problem was: he wanted his way to be the best way to take care of his himself. Yes, he wanted things done his way. But it's also true that he wanted to take care of his family almost just as much
He never had a family to be honest. They were always divided. Him by himself and the rest with Skylar. He wanted to show he is a man that takes care of his responsibilities as one he still loved them though.
@@realamericannegro977 he did
Hands down one of the best endings of a tv show i’ve ever seen. Vince Gilligan executed each aspect of the show so perfectly that it’s hard to select a specific flaw. Cinematography,character arc,soundtrack,locations,action sequences,storyline,costumes and what not...this show satisfies the audience in every possible way.
I always recommend this show because its one of the few that start and end on a high note, its not an easy feat but vince and his team did it!
Walters son always eating breakfast.

Is this a breakfast eating illness?

The most annoying character on the show
There is an old saying: It is better to live one day as a lion than a hundred years as a sheep. I believe that was walt's mind set by the time his cancer was diagnosed.
Walter was tired of being a sheep. He felt oppressed and undervalued. He took control of his own destiny and did things on his own terms and became a lion.
Being a drug dealer / maker not cool.. Using his brain to cure cancer, etc... Waaay cool..
@@Emma.E.Emerson Agreed, it's something less people are capable of doing and should be regarded even higher, however, unfortunately in life, scientists and brilliant people don't seem to get the respect (or money) they deserve, however there are people who are in love with Serial killers and admire Adolf Hitler. On a less extreme but related note there are also many famous people who get famous by doing or saying really stupid things, which is also bad, I mean we be more selective of who we make famous, if they're stupid ignore them, maybe more people will strive to be intelligent and do good things.
@@BensCoffeeRants Most people can't connect with brilliant, creative and smart people. They can only connect with people on their level, which is why they look up to such people. Sorry but most people are stupid sheep, it's very difficult to make them respect and look up to brilliance.

@@tucoramirez4558 I am 58, at 18 in college, philosophy professor said most people are sheep following the flock. I agree with you. I say all sweetly, not arrogantly, but most people are emotionally dumb.
You don’t just win or lose, that’s the beauty of Breaking Bad. It isn’t just black and white.
He died on his terms surrounded by the thing he was most proud of, he finally found some fulfillment in his life, he came to terms with what he had become and stopped lying and trying to say that he was "doing it for them", he rescued Jessie and killed the men who killed Hank and Steve, and he secured the bag for his two children who he loved. He received a long awaited consequence for his deeds, but overall I would call it a win for him. He went out the best way that he could have under the circumstances.
This guy has the most unlucky birthdays..😂
Stg😂😂
Walt won. Even through I watched the TV series a long time ago, but I still remember the bad parts, especially Walt wife. She was a unsupportive bitch who care for Walt after hearing he has cancer, but grew jealous and agitated when she learned that's he has become a powerful drug lord, who gone through hell just to repay her debts.
And then you have the ungrateful son, who happens to be an entitled handicap, who never bother trying to understand from his father point of views or what he had to go through. If Walt is my father, I would support him. Hes not just cool, but his work is like an occupation hazards. I was hoping Walt would use all his money to find a cure or like some movie which I forget, where the guy swallow a pill and he got super smart. He managed to make his own special super pills. I think Walt should go that path and see if he can race against time to beat cancer.
Anyway.
This might explain why Walt choose Jesse over his family because his long time partner understands and appreciate the genius.
Hiasenbarf or what ever its call, is just Walt persona to look tough around the bad guy, so he can get thing done. Fark yah!

The casting of this show was impeccable. The actor who played Tuco? Gus? Saul? ALL fantastic!
Saul was played by comedy legend Bob Odenkirk. I strongly recommend you check out Mr. Show with Bob and David. It's a sketch comedy show from Bob and his good friend David Cross
mike was also amazing

@@tannertowns1911 Why though?
@@tannertowns1911 Walt Jr is by far my favourite character and one of the best actors I've seen
Lydia and Todd were without a doubt made for each other, so satisfying to see them finally get there come uppings.
The guy that plays Todd seems to play those type of characters a lot.
It's heartbreaking, honestly. When you really think about it. When you compare who he was in season 1 to who he was in season 5. And the decline of his family, one member even dead.
Gomez is the only one shouldn’t be killed. He tried to keep himself out of the situation, however it turned out that he was dragged by Hank’s consistency
in my opinion mike shouldnt have been killed either, it wouldve been better if he went to alaska and eventually met jesse after he moves there too
Poor old Gomey didn't even get an on screen death.
You were dragged by Hank’s consistency, mate, if anyone was.
@@hi-gh9fy Loved Mike. But he was pretty cold blooded and merciless alot of times. He has that wholesome grandpa vibe, so everyone just turns a blind eye to the fact that hes just as flawed as Walter or anyone else in the show. Almost everyone in the show was bad. Almost none of them deserved to die. I didnt mind seeing Gus die, as much as i liked the character. I didnt mind seeing Tuco die either.
@@hi-gh9fy lol what, are they gay now or what lol why would he go live with jesse
Walter: say my name
Holly: heisenberg
Walter: your god damn right
1000 subscribers with no videos Holly(continued): blue meth !
Heisenberg: umm well, that is a extension to it ...
funny
Walter: say my name
Jesse:aaaah.....wire
Walter:you're God damn right
“You are” goddamn wrong
Lmao😂 why did I just picture that out
Walt won on every front.
He realised his potential. Cemented his name in history. Passed down his legacy to the family. Defeated all enemies. Got revenge on college friends.
Not all of us will be good people, but we should try to realise our potential.
Walts end is a perfect definition of: 'I've won, but at what cost'
He won, he wanted Jessie out of that situation, he got it, he wanted the money to go his family, he got it, he wanted Lydia and his enemies to die, he got it.
Sometimes winning isn’t about fulfilling the ego
But did he win. He watches his family fall apart.

Finished Breaking Bad 2 days ago, watched El Camino yesterday and today it's time to start Better Call Saul. All courtesy of Covid.
No Refunds I swear I binged and breaking bad was great
right on!
How's EL Camino?
Good decision bro
I’m gonna start watching better call saul is it good can anybody tell me
Walt saying, "I am the Danger" for me, is the single greatest line in dramatic television history.
“The fly” was an episode to show how Walt was battling with himself all the things he was doing and feeling guilty for Jane he struggled the whole episode and wasn’t in the right mind to cook also losing himself completely in his transformation into full blown...... you’re goddamn right! Plus I believe he wanted to tell jesse Jane died because him and make Jesse see it his way but Jesse wouldn’t and it hurt because Jesse respected Walt up until Walt lost his mind
He won:
- built his own empire
- money
- beat cancer
- didn’t go to jail
- empire was destroyed
- he lost 8 barrels of money, ultimate lose
- he didn't beat cancer, he was going to die but he got shot first
- i can agree with this one.
Though, he lost what he was going the entire thing for; his family.
ITakeLemonsTM
- Didnt need the empire anymore.
- barrels of money he did not need
- he got shot, can er did not kill hime. He beat cancer
- his wife was a whore and Jr a dumbass.
His goal was to leave money to his family after dying, so he did. He won!
Rastalion
- he destroyed every relationship he had
- his family’s memory of him is forever tainted
- instead of dying surrounded by people who cared for him he died by his own gun in a dirty lab.
What a win.
ILostThis
a win is a win.
Rastalion if that’s winning, I’d rather lose.

@@bradydavis5791 well you ain't cracking new one either.
Just finished this series about 30 minutes ago and I still can't stop crying. I don't know if I should see the ending as either a tragedy or victory.
VICTORY !!!!!!¡
It's neither, because Walt didn't win but neither did his enemies.
It's sweet that Jesse always called Walt Mr.White
❤❤true that
The most heart breaking scenes
1. Holly saying "Mama" after Walt took her and was showing her love. (That was the only one that legitimately made me tear up)
2. Andrea's death.
3. "He can't keep getting away with it!"
4. Walt seeing his family one last time.
5. Jessie screaming "No!" as he was getting dragged out of the desert by Jack's gang, it's so sad because Walt got away with it again.
For me, by far the saddest scene was Mike's death.
I teared up after Jane died Jesse come back from rehab and calling her phone just to hear her answering machine
Strats007STTS Facts. There are sooo many sad and depressing scenes in this show... It’s my first drama show (I usually watch comedies) so it makes it even worst😂
Gale's death
White on the payphone talking to Walter Jr./Flynn was so fucking sad
This makes me wanna start my fifth Breaking Bad marathon....
This makes me wanna start my second Breaking Bad marathon.... ^^
@@Phil-bf1jp Makes me want to start my third. When I first experienced the last episode, I was surprised and a bit sad. Then the next marathon happened and I felt a whole lot more emotion than before.
I want to start my third 😍
Just about to start my 3rd!
Ive just finished watching It with my mother..... For the 3rd time
He walked away with a push. He achieved his goals, defeated his enemies and walked among thair corpses and all it cost him was everything he ever loved.
Walt did these things to feel alive. As he said when he was talking with his family he said I didn’t want to be artificially be alive. He confessed in the last episode he felt alive
What defines Walter White, his first 50 years or his last 2?
Humans put far more emphasis on the apex and ending of an experience than any other part. In regards to Walt's life, his last two years are probably worth at least 20 in his life's story.
All 52
The 50 define walter white, last 2 heisenberg.
Walter faith was decided by his cancer which assured him his certain death . What we dont really realise is that we all gonnd die sooner or later , so lets just do as heisenberg did live it and do what we wanna do whatever it costs not for the family or anyone else but for US .
@@InformatiqueProI all ima say is if we had Medicare for all he never would have cooked meth
To me, this whole series is just a struggle between his love for his family and his love for power.
Ty Durnan yes yes and yes
u1234 or in others words, Walt vs. Heisenberg
Ego
Apt
Started out walt had no personal self confidence , then the pressure that was applied that was basically a death sentence turned him from a lump of coal to a flawless diamond , the knowledge that he had about chemistry was boosted to near genius level by the pressure of limited time left to secure his family's future.....we don't know what we are capable of untill we face our mortality with courage and willingness to fight , not just give up ...... don't give up untill you've drunk from the silver cup .(.keep fighting to your last breath ) ......this saying saved me from killing myself......edit: the don't give up is from the song all the lonely people by america FYI...
"I liked it. And I was good at it" "I was alive.." to me that says everything I need to hear. He has won
He brought his enemies into the jaws of defeat with him. The way I took the ending was having lost everything he thought he was fighting for, he realized it was never about what mattered. He always knew Jessie was better than him and decided to, whether he actually felt anything or not, use his last effort to help the one person who could still make it out. It's a silver lining for him to be sure, still became a horrible human but a selfless act is infinitely more redeeming than staying selfish to the end.
Jessie was never better then him ..... He was just stupid, and most of the problems happened, were because of his stupidity. Despite, for white, he was like a son, so he was protective of him....
"Guess I got what I deserve..." Great opening line for Walt's ending song.
You’re a great opening line for Walt’s ending song, mate, if anyone is...

@@realiascailt yeah, that.
OMG same i always thought that
13:50 “we don’t know yet what his real plans are” - yes we do. They showed us how he bought a special type of machine gun at the beginning of the final season, and that he created an automated device that it is mounted on. We even see him switching that automated rifle on with the red remote we later see him hanging onto.
Even though I’ve watched the entire Breaking Bad series (I won’t say how many times) and have come to all of the exact same conclusions as this video so succinctly put it; I couldn’t look away. How wonderful that other people completely “get” this show and this character. This show changed my life in so many ways. All for the better. Thank you for the video!
my second favourite line from this show
Walt: "Gus is gone he was the danger"
Skylar "i thought you were the danger"
Goose McBruce my favorite is when skyler threatens to get a restraining order against Walt and he goes “RESTRAIN THIS”
Walt won. Even through I watched the TV series a long time ago, but I still remember the bad parts, especially Walt wife. She was a unsupportive bitch who care for Walt after hearing he has cancer, but grew jealous and agitated when she learned that's he has become a powerful drug lord, who gone through hell just to repay her debts.
And then you have the ungrateful son, who happens to be an entitled handicap, who never bother trying to understand from his father point of views or what he had to go through. If Walt is my father, I would support him. Hes not just cool, but his work is like an occupation hazards. I was hoping Walt would use all his money to find a cure or like some movie which I forget, where the guy swallow a pill and he got super smart. He managed to make his own special super pills. I think Walt should go that path and see if he can race against time to beat cancer.
Anyway.
This might explain why Walt choose Jesse over his family because his long time partner understands and appreciate the genius.
Hiasenbarf or what ever its call, is just Walt persona to look tough around the bad guy, so he can get thing done. Fark yah!
Jameson D'Amico 😂Restrain it!!!
My favorite line is, "You drove into traffic to keep me from that laundry!" It makes me chuckle out of context every time.
Walter White "I am the danger, I am the one who knocks" "No, you clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Skyler. I AM the danger!
What he did to Gretchen and Elliot was brilliant. One of my favorite scenes.
I agree

They should have camera out. Odd that they didn't have any sort of security being that rich.
you could say gretchen and elliot created heisenburg in the first place...gretchen knew why walter decided to leave grey matters (she didnt feel the same way he did about her and chose elliot instead) but she pretended not to know why and didnt even try to make amends with him. this is all fine and all but the final nail in the coffin is that they never gave walt any credit at all even though they used HIS research extensively to propel grey matters into a multi billion company. it was revealed that walt was the genius in the group and most of the companies groundbreaking theories came from him. it was shown in the very early episode in season 1 when they go to elliots party. when walt brings up how the name grey matters was formed from him and eliot, and when another classmate mentioned walts involvement in the company, gretchen and elliot immediately dismiss him as a founding member of the group. and they would never even mentionthat they used his research. then elliot has the audacity to offer him a job (make him his employee) out of pity for his medical condition. if elliot really wanted to make amends and help walt he would offer some of his shares back. this in turn is what drove walt to become heisenburg and create an empire that he felt was stolen from him. elliot and gretchen are the true villains in breaking bad
I expected him to straight up kill them, but after seeming to just peacefully bargain, he sets the laser pointers on them.
Absolutely loving the Breaking Bad video essays, everytime I am done rewatching the series I’m going straight to watching these videos.
He made the best of a lost situation. Once Hank died he had lost, but he was able to find the badass way out
I believe that Walt’s obsession with “gray matter“ and the couple that ripped him off was at the root of his ultimate downfall.
What actually happened that made Walter and Gretchen fall apart? Did Elliott sleep with Gretchen back in the day when G and Walt we’re together?
@@djkameronblaze the couple didn't rip him off. This is a huge misunderstanding by a lot of fans maybe that's why they blindly root for Walter's triumph. Gretchen and Walter were once a couple, and there was one time he went on a vacation with her and her family. He got so intimidated by their status and lifestyle that he left abruptly and eventually sold his share on the Gray Matter for 5 grand. Walter always had been struggling with inferiority complex, and had been ripping himself off ever since. If you notice, every negotiation he did while building his empire, he was not settling for less ie., tuco and walter's first encounter and him setting a specific price, not abiding by Gus' commands and eventually taking him out. It's also why he married Skyler, who was a waitress back then and way lower than his intelligence level. The title itself says it, breaking bad. It never meant a good person broke and became bad, but the bad in him finally broke and got loose.
Jan Alexinne Janairo wait... gasp, you mean to tell me that this whole story was rooted from, yet once again as you see through many times in the show, This whole story was rooted from Walter’s goddamn insecurities, actually receiving a blessing in his life, an intelligent woman who loves him and who’s family is rich, and he messed that up too? The cost of not knowing your self-worth

“You want them to actually miss you” One of the most profound lines I’ve heard in any show.
Walt is way smarter than the people around him, which means he needs to take care of everybody, and one tiny mistake he made, ruined his entire operation.
Just finished the show. I knew it was gonna be good but it truthfully blew me away. This is a amazing analysis. Really soo many layers to this one character
“Jesse you asked me if I was in the meth business or the money business”
“I’m in the empire business.”!
Love that line. Lol
I love the following one better: "Is a meth empire really something to be that proud of?"
I didn't like how the vid didn't discuss this insanely crucial part, it without a doubt was his drive to do this. Gretchen and Elliott were a HUGE motivation. That's why we saw the "I did it for me" line coming

I feel like it isn't so much he won or lost but he got exactly the amount of success he could've gotten. This was the most he could achieve given his character
For walt, he won. His life may be in ruins, but he got what he always wanted. One thing that even his family could not give him, a sense of control and absolute power. Just my opinion
I think where you stand on the win/lose question depends on whether or not you consider the cost being worth it.
Johnathon Haney well, i dont think its worth it at all. But for walt, i think it is worth it. There are various times where he could just call it quits but decided to continue his drug business with the same old excuse of doing it for the family. He was addicted. Addicted with the power and how he managed to inspire respect through fear
@@danielwhite3244 Absolutely right...and like any junkie who loses his bearings, he let his addiction drag him all the way down.
I'm kind of with you. I think the whole point was to take a hyperbole of an idea, a mild-mannered physics teacher turned bad ass gangster, and make it as realistic and plausible as possible. So that would include the complexity that he wouldn't get a Hollywood ending. That living (or ending) on your own terms, doesn't mean you will win everyone else over.
daniel white it came at a great cost
I 100% disagree that Walt intended to kill Jesse.
I believe he knew immediately that Jack was using/torturing Jesse.
Think about it: he would know that Jesse would NEVER work with Todd.
EVERYONE gets that wrong.
Trust me, Walt went there to save Jesse, he never intended to kill him.
I agree with you to some extent Walt knows Jesse well enough to guess he would never work with people like jack and Todd willingly. Jesse was desperate to get out of this business since the moment Todd shot the kid Throughout the entire series walt understood Jesses thought process and abused it for his own benefit perfectly, used Jesse as his punching bag when things go wrong. Him suddenly believing Jesse willingly partnering and working with people like Jack, Todd goes against every episode of the show he knew that Jesse is the one who is cooking but he also knew Jesse won't work with those people and had been wanting to get out of the business for a long time I think Walter didn't understand why Jesse is cooking now when he heard first blue stuff is back again. he didn't went there to save him he didn't went there to kill him he went to kill jack and his gang for what they did and he wanted to understand why Jesse is cooking now which is why he told that whole fake speech about partnering to draw Jesse out to understand why he is cooking we saw some hints throughout the series that not knowing what Jesse is thinking or doing has bothered walt and created problems in walters plans. he draw Jesse out and waited till he was there to understand the situation better before he takes his final action I think Walter had no previously decided plan for Jesse. Walter handed over Jesse to jack and gang and from his partner speech people assume he went to kill Jesse but I think he would have never handed over Jesse to jack and gang if jack hadn't killed hank Jesse was the one who brought hank there and Walter blamed Jesse for hanks death he handed over Jesse not because he crossed walt but because in Walt's pov Jesse was partially responsible for hanks death
Jesse had said walt had zero tolerance policy for threat to which hank replied except when it comes to u he cares about you Jesse doesn't believe that but it is the truth
The reason Walter and Jesses relation are still one of the most debatable thing is because Walter loved Jesse as much as he loved his own son but Walter himself had never been aware of that he truly believed he does not care about Jesse there was a scene where Walter in a half conscious state and without realizing calls his own son Jesse which in a way supports my theory
He cared about Jesse but he never realized it which is why his actions are unpredictable when it comes to Jesse Walter always has plans both for his family and his enemies but Walter never knew where Jesse stood enemy or family which is why when it comes to jesse Walter surprises everyone sometimes even himself
@@nawreen7636 Walt 1000% thought of Jesse as a son/apprentice. I agree he loved him like a son and I remember that scene where he accidentally calls Walter Jr Jesse. He is also broken in that scene because he thinks Jesse is dead.
@@whostolecarlosrox Walter couldn't leave Jesse without telling him he watched jane die it wasn't a move of spite it was a move of love.
He took a bullet to the gut to save Jesse. I don't buy he did that out of impulse.
Davis Parks - bullet to the liver actually.
The writing of this show is a masterpiece. It should be taught in schools. The show is epic, morally ambiguous and challenging. It leaves you pondering issues after that magnificent finale.
Best line of the show: "Holy shit, walter, he's breaking bad"
I cant stop thinking about Hank and the way that he dies. He accepted the fact that he is going to die, he saw there was no other way, no other option and he owned up to it. He looked his killer straight into his eyes and told him to do what he has to do... And just like that he died.
Someday we will all make the realisation that we are living our final moments. It scares me to think about it but its also the only think I can think of... BITCH!!
I liked it I was just gripping my seat hoping he wouldn’t let Hank go
Hank is a hero and died like a hero.

I’m rewatching as of this week and my God!!!!! What a beautiful and great written show!!! You love the characters, you hate the characters… you laugh, you tear up a lil… beautiful show!
I feel like the only possible way for him to win was to let himself lose. He is overwhelmed with guilt, and if he were to “win” by staying alive, he would have to kill a lot more. And he wouldn’t be able to take that. I feel like that final decision to let Jesse go, to tell the truth to Skyler, was Walter White emancipating himself from Heisenberg, even for just a few minutes. The final episode is Walter White leaving his mark. Him slapping Heisenberg in the face and trying to do what he has always wanted to do since everything went downhill, make amends. Not in the conventional way of letting people forgive you, but giving the people he hurt closure. Confirming that he is, in fact, gone. The only possible way for me to able to phrase it would be…
The final episode is Walter White’s victory, not Heisenberg’s.
After he got diagnosed with cancer, he knew he couldn't win, so he made goddamn sure his enemies couldn't either.
Yes you are right
He didn't have any enemies the first time he got diagnosed and when it came back he quit lol
@@_HeisenBerg5 there goddamn right
Most memorable quote was Hanks last words. That shit made me wanna cry...

@@howsitfeel_ just do what you gotta d-
I wanted to cry but i knew his death was coming from a long time ago, i thought he was gonna die from Tuco and then the cousins but he survived both
I cried when Hank died. Being a hero in an anti-hero’s world is hard. Bad guys are the one that get the ink. After Hank died, everyone was talking about Heisenberg.
Vince Gilligan has said while he doesn’t necessarily believe in heaven, he believes in hell. Therefore, my view is that Walter lost. He had no true victory in reconciliation with his family, could not protect Hank, and both his true son (Walter Jr.) and his other son son (Jesse) still hated him. The only real victory he had was revenge, which is a temporary high that gives no lasting satisfaction.
This is my favorite series of all time, and I've watched if all the way through four times. You'd think that by now I wouldn't gasp in horror and shock when Elliott's ears first appear, but ... 😱
Whatever Walts motivations he saved Jesse's life by letting Jane die. They were both using heroin and just got 500,000 dollars. Jane's death stopped Jesse's drug use. Krystin Ritter was amazing though.
R Rockwell --and it assured Jane wasn’t going to come back to blackmail Walt again too.
Well think of it like this, Jesse wouldn’t of suffered that horrific tragedy if Walt didn’t blackmail him into making Meth, Jesses miseries are all down to Walt, everything bad that happens to Jesse is some way shape or form Walt’s fault
The Bearded Wonder but also everything good that happens to him
I believe the plane crashing is a way for Vince Gilligan to say yes Walter letting Jane die was a bad decision.
Jane was mighty fit
Did you win? Yes
What did it cost? Everything
Bernd Haft
From a writing perspective, thanks and Walter are surprisingly similar. They both are convinced that they are doing good, even though they bring destructed in their wake. And both are willing to loose everything and die to achieve it. In the end (of infinity war for thanos) they win, even when they loose everything.
Brilliant show, so captivating! I binged watched it!
