I find Mike addressing Varga, 'Kid' a representation of his soft corner to Nacho. Mike is a tough personality, but their attachment is somehow gets exposed in his actions and words.
@@windowsxseven gus and mike are both dead what's your point? Would have made more sense to point out that Shaq is the only one left kicking, soloing one of the three dead out instead of the one of one alive is just weird.
@@lucyhg2010 because they are splitting the season into 2 parts which means after episode 7 it will go on a break for a month and a half and then the remaining 6 episodes will air
You know it’s not unreasonable that in between bcs and the start of breaking bad, the amount of work Mike had to do for Gus made him feel more fit and helped him look a bit younger.
@@Dapryor no but after BCS Gus goes badass cos he's not under too much threat anymore so he started taking care of himself, loosing weight, skin care and stuff
If you send several heavily armed men against someone and they turn out to be such a badass that they manage to kill every single one then you ought to basically assume they also knew how to fake their death.
@@Raphie009 Jesse Plemons gained weight for movies and shows that happened after Breaking Bad. Gotta remember Breaking Bad ended in 2013 and El Camino came out in ‘19.
Don't really feel bad for Nacho. He only gets the pity card because of the situation involving his father, because if not for that, he would happily be going along with Hector (back when he worked for him). Nacho is not by any means a good dude. Dont know when he stopped, but I remember when he was trying to do his own business on the side away from Tuco and gang.
I know it’s a childish comparison, but it’s kinda like Snape from Harry Potter. He was a deatheater working for Voldemort, but only defected when he found out the woman he loved was going to be killed. If Lily Potter was never killed, he totally would’ve been okay with working for Wizard Hitler.
@@ianaspinall7948 it isn't very white and black, but most of the characters from these shows are at least bad people (Nacho, Saul, Kim, Skyler, Jesse) and at worst they are evil (pretty much every mayor drug leader)
@@isp5056 I kinda like it. The more evil and cruel they get after BCS and they begin to look young because they are close to the devil and he gives them small rewards.
Mike is wasting his breath. All of gus fring's words about respect, loyalty, proffessionalism etc are illusions. He only cares about one man, himself. Only one thing, his business. Everything else is him telling people the things they want to hear so that they will do his bidding. The most accurate description I have heard of him is that he is a corporation embodied in a man. Outside his desire to harm hector he has no human desires or emotions whatsoever. When Walter killed him he did the world a favour.
@@nikosgreek352 gus is coldblooded, but he holds standards. He respects competence, and will hear people out before making decisions. Once he makes a decision though, it's final your description of him sounds like a cartoon super villian lol
@@MO-zk8qs I agree, despite Esposito's great cold blooded delivery, I think he definitely has respect for people capable of playing the game, especially the one Nacho had to play. He also has respect for Mike, he constantly asks him to "speak his mind" and "you have more to say?" He takes these things into account because he respects their intellect, but he also will kill mike at any moment if he will not kneel when it comes to a final order. He has no room for weaknesses and Walters loyalty to Jesse as well as Mike's loyalty to Nacho or anyone but Gus is a weakness. So Gus does believe loyalty is bs.
"You want compromise? How's this: 30 years I did in Philly PD. I wanted to be a good cop, but I compromised. I took bribes from criminals instead. I wanted to execute that wife-beater in the middle of nowhere. But I compromised. I chose a half-measure instead. See where I'm going?"
This season did a lot of showing and not telling, the usual the creators are so good at doing. But they hid stuff in episodes to not reveal too much at once. Like the phone call Gus had with Nacho as it would have revealed at the moment where he was. Something that was revealed in the next episode. Howard’s PI supposedly working for him and not for Jimmy and Kim until it all came together in Plan and Execution. The epilogue episodes with the phone call between Jimmy and Kim or the tip off that Kim got that Jimmy was going against her with the Howard scheme they pulled to supposedly either stab her in the back or get a lighter sentence.
i don't know what the complaints about the aging are so prominent. Most of ya'll like me probs watched breaking bad a long time ago, I barely even noticed it and jsut focused on the story, only really notice when I watch a BB clip. actors are human, they get old, and many dont have the foresight into the future, especially a prequel show
You can sort of see Stan Edgar from The Boys, in this scene. Feels a little bit like the other characters Giancarlo Esposito has played, mold into the Gus character he is playing. Just my observation.
Tyrus is the toughest black guy in Albuquerque. He's the only one that can hang with the actual sophisticated criminals who run everything, and not just some amatuers on the street.
So I keep seeing a bunch of "intellectuals" deep diving into the character of Gus, even though he's a closed circuit character. Just to be clear, you guys do realize Gus Fring was written as an equal opposite to Walter White? You guys keep scratching your heads and writing paragraphs about why he is the way he is, but it's literally as simple as that. Vince Vaughn wrote him as an equal opposite to Walter White. Stop writing fan fictions about a question that's already been answered.
