@flightofthebumblebee9529 Год назад

Mike really did believe he was doing it for his family, and he was, but it was wrong. Pride wasn't his fault like Walter, but instead it was guilt/shame. He should've kept his job as the parking attendant and enjoyed his time with his family. Even after robbing Hector he was able to buy his family a new home and support them while getting no-show benefits of working for Madrigal. In another life he could've done that and helped the church and survivors support group and lived to see Kaylee grow up. Kaylee and her mama would've given back every dollar just to have Pop-pop in their lives. In the end everything he did for Gus and Walt destroyed him and hurt his family.

You can argue that his daughter-in-law used him. She was kind of a grifter in a sense. You can argue she made up a story of shootings near her house (though it could've been just newspapers being thrown), which forced Mike to take a side-job committing crime to buy her a new house. She manipulated Mike's guilt to get money out of him, maybe not even being fully aware of it. She pushed Mike on the path of crime.

@flightofthebumblebee9529 Год назад

Killing the cops who murdered his son was forgivable. Robbing Hector was even forgivable. His guilt from getting an innocent man killed is what draws him back into the game. But he went too far and should've never got involved with Gus beyond that.

@flightofthebumblebee9529 Год назад

@beerrrrs yes but Gus got him to murder probably the one man he could call a true friend since arriving in Albuquerque. He also got Mike to help march a young man who Mike himself described as a good hearted person, into certain death. Then it only gets much worse once Walt joins the party. Mike should've kept his no-show security consultant job or his parking attendant job, while doing PI work on the side. His family would've rather had him than the blood money he didn't even get to give them anyway.

Seemed like he was trying to be honorable, albeit in a flawed way.

@BillyBong Год назад

I always thought the "you're not the guy, we had a guy" was a reference to Victor, since he had just died. He did the dead drops, implied by victor being the guy to pick up the pickup from los pollos on his first appearance in BCS.

@bigwavesun Год назад

I believe Victor was too. Mike wasn't exactly happy about a good soldier being killed unjustly. Gus basically figured that Jesse could switch roles and help Mike and replace Victor temporarily and win him over and eventually completely replace Walt.

@charlesw7397 Год назад

Also, Stacy and Kaylee most certainly learn about Mike’s career as a criminal. Kim confessed using Mike’s name and the Heisenberg/Saul Goodman case was national news. Also, I assume that the tape of Jesse’s confession was found at the scene with Walt’s body. We could probably assume the countless documentaries and articles were written about everyone involved. Just makes me sad that he tried to protect them from all of it but ultimately will probably be seen as a monster by them. 😢

Stacey wouldn't be shocked to learn Mike was involved in crime nor do I think she would condemn him for it.

A murderer with a heart of gold. When Mike is at the diner, everyone know him. When he isnt at work, he is a likeable man, very emotional. He saved some lives and his going to bat for nacho proves he isnt heartless. Its his work ethic. He does what he is called upon to do. A remarkable, complex and layered performance. He accomplishes it all with few words and no explanation.The most interesting character in either show. Second is Kim Wexler.

@lancenwokeji6349 9 месяцев назад

Mike may not be heartless, but he is pretty far from having a heart of gold. When he isn’t at work, he seems pretty bad at dealing with people (shown by his fleeting relationship with Anita), he’s complicit in the death of Ignacio, stayed loyal to the man who caused Ignacio and Werner’s deaths, was okay with Gus using kids to deal drugs, etc. Mike has a moral code, competency, and loyalty, but a lot of people forget that both of these attributes do not inherently make you a good person

Just a short note on Mike's loyalty to Gus: I feel that it goes far beyond anything to do with Gus and Mike's personal relationship-->Mike and Gus both know that the cartel consists of 'animals', and considering Mike has his last remaining family living in the region it seems natural that Mike would pick Gus over the cartel running the drug-trade in ABQ. Well organized crime brings less violence, business over bloodshed.

I think you are right as far as the retocon goes about Mike's later treatment of Saul in BB vs how he treats Jimmy in BCS is that he loses more and more respect for Jimmy over time as he becomes Saul Goodman full-time. Mike may have sympathy for Jimmy and what they have been through together, he make even like Jimmy, but when it comes to business and Gus, he has no patience for Saul Goodman after dealing with him in the Saul Goodman persona for four years.

If there is ever a better universe out there ,I' hope I don't miss it . This universe transcends those of LOTR , The Sopranos ,peaky Blinders ,the Harry Potter legacy and is maybe only matched by the Star wars canon universe . You have a future as an analyst for a high level private or Govt capacity . Or you can just keep dissecting films and series. Would love to watch you dissect Peaky Blinders.

What I wanted to know was whatever happened to Stacey and Kaylee. They must have been devastated to find out what Mike was involved with. Mike's so-wrong comment about providing for his family, "They'll never know what I did," comes back in spades to haunt his family. Kaylee loved her Pop Pop so much.

I’m a Fring fan. He was an enigma, and we need a series dedicated to fring.

@floppywhisk Год назад

We need to see how he went from a dictator to the chicken man

@knuckle12356 Год назад

I would love to see Fring navigating what, a Communist takeover of his country? Surviving as a homosexual where the stakes are deadly. I can't recall where he was originally from, if it was a communist/domino theory conflict, but it would be a great story. Only issue I see is Giancarlo IS Gus. And he would need to be _significantly_ aged down for the entire series [$$]. I wouldn't be as excited about a spinoff that didn't include G. Esposito.

Wonderful, wonderful video!! Bravo!! I enjoyed your commentary and hung on to every word. Of course, you pointed out things that I totally missed😊. Breaking Bad is one of my #1 shows of all time (along with The Shield & Sons of Anarchy). Now, BCS is in my top five. Thanks again for a great video!!

When Mike says "I had a guy, but now I don't" he's talking about Viktor - not Gale or Nacho.

@flightofthebumblebee9529 Год назад

Mike clearly had no emotional bond to Victor or Tyrus or even Gus. It was strictly business. He did have a bond with Nacho, Werner, and Jesse though.

@christinem894 Год назад

I agree, I always assumed he was talking about Viktor. In fact, I think Gale and Mike have no direct interaction.

I hope they eventually apply de-aging technology to the characters in Better Call Saul and re-release the series. Oh. And don't forget to replace the 2nd Jeff actor with the original actor who played him at the start of Season 5.

@matiaseee8273 Год назад

It would be a lot easier to just re shoot the season 5 Jeff scene with the new actor

@flightofthebumblebee9529 Год назад

This is not necessary. The only time the age becomes an issue is if you're literally comparing pictures of BrBa to BCS. It never takes away from the series at all and we still totally believe this is a prequel to BrBa. I think the Jeff replacement did a fine job and he was in the film Cheap Thrills.

@@alexjustalexyt1144 when? Jimmy was like 40 by the time he joined the mail room and went to online school. Kim was likely a late achiever too. I assume Kim is about a decade younger than Jimmy. You're wrong. De-aging sucks.

@DukeDukeGo Год назад

In Breaking Bad Saul actually says he "knows a guy who knows a guy... who knows another guy" Who's the third guy? Saul obviously knows Mike who directly works for Gus Hadn't they planned for Mike to be Gus' guy at this point in time? I mean his whole character was just an emergency solution bc Bob was on HIMYM

@MrRyan-wu4jx Год назад

I think he’s just being deliberately vague, adding an extra layer to his process of actually finding Gus keeps Gus better protected.

Mike is the best character in both shows. His smarts is beyond. Jesse is 2nd with his movie. 😮Walt shows how someone can go from good to bad without seeing it they do small things that add up over time. Well his murder was 2nd or 3rd do but still his mind was he was doing good. Just shows how different people think.🎉
