Giancarlo is the unsung hero of both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul! He should've already won an Emmy, and there's still time to give him one. What a actor and what a performance!
He got robbed for his amazing work in Breaking Bad season 4. They gave the Emmy to Aaron Paul ( who did nothing that impressive with his performance in season 4 ) but they should've given it to Giancarlo Esposito because his performance was AMAZING! He was the star of season 4 and anyone who knows anything about acting knows that he is far superior to Aaron Paul.
@Zachary Hoy you're an idiot. Esposito is a brilliant actor who understands how to be subtle with his performance which was needed for his character. But Aaron Paul had to do so much emotionally. Saying he's overrated is quite a stretch. The guy is one of the best actors out there
Giancarlo was as important to the brilliance of the show as Bryan Cranston was I am shocked he did not get an Emmy,and not even asked a question in this comic con.
14 Aspen Drive nono they keep him for next season or something. It is kinda exaggerate to give huel and kuby at the same time. too expensive for loss opportunity of potential story
The two female lead *characters* in Breaking Bad may be the most pathetic characters ever. Perhaps to make up for this, the character of Kim Wexler is one of the most brilliant characters of all time. Kim is elevated from the Norm.
Finally a panel where I don’t immediately hate the mediator and don’t want him to shut up and not interrupt the speakers! Bill should mediate all panels!
I thought he did well, he was very funny, made them genuinely laugh and not like nervous awkward laugh from the stranger things Patton Oswalt comic con
What cracks me up is how if you deconstruct how that BB-referenced moment actually plays out in BCS, it's especially ridiculous. like, it's one thing to think this guy physically resembles Kevin Costner (and he does), but how drunk was that waitress that she thought Costner would be staying in a sleeping bag on the floor of some guy's basement apartment? lol She doesn't realize it's not really him until the morning.
Rhea summed it up for me when she said, "they don't spoon feed the audience" it's refreshing to allow our minds to work at filling in the details. They assume the audience has intelligence.
When he first was on the show I was actually more scared of him than I was Tuco. With Tuco you knew when he was going off the deep end. His actions were all out front. With Nacho, you could tell he was working things out. He was actually more dangerous in my mind than Tuco. As Michael said the characters change over time. Tuco, wanting out of that life makes him less scary now. But back then I was like, "Woe, Nacho, bad news."
@@vanmoody When I fist saw him I thought "Oh, small character cause he's just here as one of Tuco's friends who didn't even make it into BB" now he's one of my favorites!
My god GoT writers should've been like this. "If a good scene doesnt makes sense for a character we throw the scene out". Instead GoT throw characters out for some random scenes that arent even good.
I couldn't agree more. Every discussion about the writing process for BB and BCS seems to be the absolute anthesis to what the GoT writers did for season 8. I mean they didnt even have a group of writers for it which is just the bare minimum for great TV writing. Ugh.
I feel about this cast the way I felt about the cast of The Wire. These guys should never be not working. Years later, if I see Clarke Peters or Seth Gilliam on something I'll probably watch it just because they're on it. Pretty much anyone on that cast I enjoy watching and I feel the same way about these actors. You get that little familiarity buzz when you see them.
IIRC, Giancarlo Esposito also played Buggin' Out (a.k.a. the guy who more or less caused the main conflict of the film) in 'Do the Right Thing.' I have a feeling Gus would *loathe* that guy. :)
Howard did his role perfect, that's why only just a few were clapping xD He was successful of playing the bad guy right, i loved him. Thank you so much man! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Weak crowd!!!
Found me at 33:30! This was an awesome panel to be at. Honored to have gotten to ask a question! All it took was about 8 hours of waiting hahaha! Would do it all again though no question.
She's 46!!! Just imagine how hot she was when she was 23. Women decline big time after age 25 and it only increases after 30. So if she's this hot still that means she was insanely hot at 23.
@@AlbertColeUnleashed I really fucking nailed exactly who you are. Wow. Did I ever. That first reply about women's value on the sexual market... Fuck me, man. Incel to fuck. What a weird thing to say to another human being. The fact that you repeated your point about your sexual fantasies in BOTH replies... Yep. I got ya. Any day now, mate. You'll do it. You'll buy that black duster jacket... Any day now.
He didn't get a chance to speak at all on the BB one until the very end then he started a sentence and bill burr interrupted and called an end to the panel
We need Bill Burr in BCS, i hope he is in the upcoming 5 season, i mean Lavell Crawford(Huell) is there, both of them were fun to watch in BrBa, so why the hell not?
Bill could play a 'mark' Jimmy screws over but then it's revealed he's a con artist who gets off on being a victim so he becomes a partner in Jimmy's occasional Con games.
Better Call Saul has better writing and directing than Breaking Bad, but it would NEVER be the show it is without Breaking Bad (not just with the story continuity as a prequel). Both are phenomenal series, fantastic work by everyone involved I love seeing these group panels and interviews with the cast
Better Call Saul probably a good series, but there is not such an emotional intensity that there is in the series Breaking Bad. I was a little bored because of the abundance of legal topics. I quit on season 3.
I wanna say this: Gus Fring is one scary dude! also, I remember the speech he gave his employees after Hector Salamanca shows up at Los Pollos Hermanos, he was inspiring, which makes him even scarier IMO
Vince Gilligan trusted the audience to be patient and Intelligent enough to appreciate excellent writing, acting and directing and to really let the show take it's time in developing characters and plots. Odenkirk says it best, thank you Vince Gilligan for both of these incredible shows!
when breaking bad finished, a little spot in my mind feels empty, now season 4 of BCS is done, that spot feels bigger. Damn this series really fill my years
He is also genuine, not a sycophant, doesn't interrupt, steal jokes, talk in a shrill shouty smug cadence or feel the need to be the funniest/smartest guy in the room.
I think it's because he's an actual fan. He was on the show but he was probably one of those guys who watched it beforehand is feeling fortunate to talk about BCS
This is currently my favorite show. I realize there are thousands of shows I do not know about , but my God........ This show is better than BB IMHO. I am so ,so hooked on this show !!!!!
Breaking bad was so great I just wanted to put the whole thing to rest. Just started watching this a week ago and it's just as great. I love this show. Vince Gilligan is the man.
'If we say why would he do that it doesn't make sense, even though it's a good scene we throw it out' - Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould to remake GoT season 8
22:09 Peter Gould : "do you wanna see a show where everybody makes the right choice and does the right thing or you wanna see somebody who makes mistakes who screws up" finally someone smart that's something I always tell people who watch tv show and blame characters because they take bad desicions and I have to explain to people "hey guys if the characters were flawless and there are always good things happening in the show that would be annoying to watch"
If anyone was wondering where they might recognize Michael Mando from it is probably Farcry 3. He was absolutely stellar in that and I felt I knew him somehow. Also, I love how Vince named Kuby's character after his brother. You can tell Vince really finds Bill funny and interesting.
Although he isn’t on the show anymore, I really wish they could have gotten Michael McKean (Chuck) on this panel. He is one of my favorite antagonists and I loved his acting.
@@o.al3mrey291 Except, if you really wanna get nerdy about it, when the concept is first broached, Saul says "I know a guy who knows a guy... who... knows another guy". 3 steps. You could say it's just an expression, but he genuinely deliberates on that third mention, like it's real. Based on all we know so far, the vet doc could be #1, Mike is #2 and Gus is #3, but at same time, Saul's far enough into that world he should likely only have to use Mike as his first step, he wouldn't have to clear it with the vet first. The sentiment doesn't fully track logically, but it's not so bad that I'd consider it a plot hole or anything, not even close.
I love those stage directions that Esposito and Mando clung to for the beginning of understanding their characters. "Hidden in plain sight" and "He wouldn't kill a bug with a sledge-hammer". What endlessly interesting details.
I fell in love with Better Call Saul because Breaking Bad did such a good job of absolutely hooking me on these characters. But I was suprised that I loved the newly introduced guys just as much, if not more. Rhea Seahorn as Kim is just brilliant. I really didn't think I would love the spin-offs as much as I did, but wow. Same with Chuck, Howard, Nacho, etc., That's how you know you've done something right. It made a complete difference on how I viewed Breaking Bad, because Walt and Jesse did mess up the entire world of this show.
I hope Kim to end up being more corrupt than Saul. So much smarter and than the cast of BrBa. Even though she wasn't ever in it, she was behind the scenes. Maybe only ever talking to Saul over the phone or something. Saul had all sorts of connections and I hope Kim is one of them.
i genuinely hope for an epic end-of-relationship fight that makes a huge impact on Saul after which she disappears from the show in a sense that she goes her separate way. Perhapse years later Saul bumping into her on the streets, catching up with Kim's new life. That's an opportunity for another big emotional examination of Saul's character and Kim's as well, but she would be irrelevant at that point.. The thing with Kim is that she is the girl that always did things "right" in her life. Great grades in school, great job, great manners,.. except that they were things that society, parents wanted her to do, not she herself. You know, the classic "you should do this and that" talk. Well, she did everything they told her she should do and while being flawless at it, she simultaneously oppressed the rebellious voice in her head (that everyone one of us has to some degree and that seems to be in control of Jimmy) that said she can do whatever she wants in a way she wants and that she doesnt have to live up to parents' nor anyones expectations. She is attracted to Jimmy because, with Jimmy around, she can be Giselle, the opressed voice, without being judged and that's a very freeing experience for her. But with the last scene of season 4, Kim realizes that she cant trust him AT ALL, because he fooled her with that speech as well, which means either break up or Jimmy embracing his deep hatred for brother and others or Kim transforming into the same person. We know Saul Goodman from breaking bad is coming so i just hope that they dont ruin, atm, a little bit confused Kim, by keeping her in this mess for too long.
No no no! That is incredibly stupid! The whole point is that Kim wants to do the right thing. Saul is corrupt and pulls her toward his world of corruption which ultimately puts them at odds. There's a great scene (don't remember what season) where Kim wants to be rebellious and use her alto ego on people at a bar and Jimmy doesn't follow along because he sees Kim descending down the wrong path for the wrong reason and he cares about her too much to let that happen. The idea is that Kim and Jimmy will go there separate ways and without Kims innocence and morality Jimmy falls into darkness finally becoming the Saul we know and love from BB.
I think Saul is very like the Breaking Bad Saul. As mentioned, almost all we saw him do is handling clients in this very comical way and I see that in his talks to the grannies, too. When we didn't see him handling clients, I think Saul was very like Jimmy (e.g. sitting in that basement with Walt)
Let's stop this very interesting and intelligent discussion of the show and open it up to questions along the lines of 'Who's your favourite superhero?' and 'Why do you like clothes?'. Fucking comic-con audiences are enough to put anyone off going to comic-con.
A show that stands side by side in greatness with Breaking Bad that is one of the greatest TV series of all time. It is a disgrace on the part of the Emmys and Golden Globes that Better Call Saul still hasn't recieved any awards for Best acting or Best Drama TV series. It riles me to my core. A show that is just as good, and in some ways, even better than Breaking Bad deserves a lot better than that.
So strange, I was in the middle of a Bill Burr binge, watching clips of him and snippets from his podcast, and then this popped up on my recommended feed, so I clicked on it, and guess who's moderating? Ol Billy Redballs! Love the show, this was great, thanks for the upload!
