What If Lalo Salamanca Beat Gus (Full Story) | A Better Call Saul Story 

Lalo was killed because Breaking Bad came first

@@durlov2343 i know , thats what plot armour means , gus didnt die because he had to live for breaking bad to happen

I think the fight was poorly written. It's a stretch that Gus would win a shootout against El Terminator, but having him win without a scratch on him? Ridiculous. Gus should have been bleeding and in need of immediate medical attention.

@@williamking7800 gus was bleeding from the bullet but i agree completely, gus wasnt a physical person he never got his hands dirty , but somehow hes a master of firearms and kills one of the most formiddable cartel members , it really makes no sense

@@kaimorris2970 well let's just say I'm okay with plot armor when it is entirely necessary. The problem with the plot armor here is that it's even thicker than it needed to be

That Raisin Bran crunch be hitting

@@murgeproductions raisin bran op

20 bucks Walter jr tried to jump on them and protect skyler

What if Flynn hated Bacon... Just imagine the intensity

What the twins cousins would taken Flynn, and Skylar out like buzzer meet the eye balls.

I agree...

Because it kinda did.

I actually really want to see that now

I’d like to expand upon this, perhaps in the beginning during the ride along they end up actually catching Jesse before he slips away, but there’s some sort of incident in the lab or some evidence goes missing and the blame falls on Hank, or there’s an issue with Jesse like when Hank got suspended for beating Jesse, his reputation is in shambles and his job is hanging by a thread, so he uses Walters knowledge of chemistry to force him into creating the blue sky meth to provoke his superiors into letting him stay in the force as he gets all of these ‘tips’ from rats (which is really info from Walter) which makes him the only officer able to continue tracking the elusive Heisenberg.

What if lalo and Gus died

@@cashoutnemooo4107 what if Walter died 😯

It’s like poetry it rhymes -George Lucas

Exactly like how Hank found out about Heisenberg’s true identity through Gale’s Walt Whitman book. It’s a game called “circle” and it always comes back around!

I mean yeah but that came too late. The entire Salamanca family and the cartel were wiped out. Which do you think Lalo would choose? Gus gets away with it but the Salamancas live? Or he eventually gets Gus long after he’s too dead to enjoy it and his family is wiped from the earth? Trust me. Gus still won.

​@@811chelseafcIt's a draw between Fring and the Salamancas

Plot….

​​@@murgeproductions Lalo would shoot mike immediately 😅

It's a bit of a stretch but not too much if you think about it. Lalo is a textbook psychopath. I think that due to his inability to understand emotions, he might overlook the possibility of Mike wanting revenge for Gus. He had to spell out the idea that Kim loved Jimmy for himself when she spoke to him in prison. You could say that this still doesn't make sense because Slamancas are all about "blood for blood" but Gus wasn't Mike's family, just his boss. And who would care that much for their boss?

True but Mike didn't kill Walt after he found out that he killed Gus (via planting a bomb on Hector's wheelchair) and Mike still stayed with Walt (albeit through Jesse's convincing him), and in the end despite Mike's clear disdain for Walter, he kept working with him and going along with his plans until he calls him out on his ego and pride getting in the way of his plans for building a drug empire, leading to Walt to shoot him.

That's because in this scenario Lalo not only killed Gus but was also going to kill Mike's family as well as Jimmy and Kim

I don't think it's entirely unfeasible that he lets mike live. It's likely he was inspired by Gus taking Nacho as a double agent and figured he could use someone like mike to control.

He was genuinely impressed by Mike.

@@rr_gaming4954 Perhaps.... I would love to see how this would've turned out. I could not make such predictions with any level of certitude

That’s what happens when you make a prequel. It”s not possible in any situation for Lalo to have killed Gus BECAUSE its a Prequal. We knes Gus lives because he is in BB. Holy crap people

Its plot amor that Lalo was even able to get to Gus in the first place. Him killing 5 or 6 people surrounding gus so easily is BS. Dude was well protected and had cameras everywhere. Lalo being Batman and getting anywhere near him was plot armor. A normal person wouldnt even try all that.

thank you for the acknowledgment, because yeah, a lot goes into making these videos and I have to craft the stories around the footage but I do my best and I’m happy you can appreciate it

What if lalo fled after the assassination attempt and we see him in a flashforward in BCS

Thank you, especially coming from a writer it means a lot

Bro for real, if this man wrote his own crime drama I'd read that in a heartbeat

Nacho too like that

​@@bugrautku3295 Nacho was the only one among few that genuinely fooled Lalo. Imagine if he was in the empire business?

Gus did survive till breaking bad………

@@IvalDeLo yes lol. I meant it more like we would have the Lalo vs. Gus dynamic throughout Breaking Bad.

Except he lost the rest of his family lol

​@@TheBoxingCannabyte Even his grandson?

Agreed

Gus won through some weird psychic powers. Lalo outmatched Gus at every point, except for the one point where SOMEHOW Gus just knew they would both end up in the lab, with enough time to disconnect the power and run for the gun. not to mention Lalo hitting insane shots on Gus's men and then missing every single shot on Gus...

@@Spad3sgus knew lalo needed proof for the cartel, which would eventually lead them down to the lab. lalo was shooting at gus in pure darkness while gus also had a bulletproof vest on. whoever won the gunfight would’ve been the lucky one, however it’s not exactly unlikely that gus would come out on top due to his vest

Joaquin just had a heart attack and died off-screen. You find out in the Murge Productions Behind the Scenes

honestly the twins might've lived too because gus gave the go to try and kill hank.

Yeah Lalo can be this friendly, charming, charismatic, 'Hey I fixed you steak taco.' To being a very dangerous, evil, psychopath, and like the devil in human form.

Well, there would be no one to call Hank to tell him the Twins were coming. Because Gus was dead.

@@kraemerrseviltwin5768 fair point, maybe these factors would cancel each other out and he would die anyway

What if Mike were to tell Hank so the twins die ​@@kraemerrseviltwin5768

Truly truly appreciate it thank you so much and happy you like it

Sometimes he has to go lol

kind of like what vince was planning a few times in the actual show

Well, the character was originally going to die at the end of season 1. And he's extremely lucky as he nearly died numerous times canonically.

​@@murgeproductions You mean most of the time? 🤣

​@@azure6181 It's probably the Hisen Verse getting revenge for the original canon event being scrapped. 😂

I have it on the list I’m still wondering how I could make that work, stay tuned

Ngl, this is what i wanna see

Depends is Walt breaking bad before or after Lalo comes to town?

Unfortunately, this is included in the list of what-if videos that Murge Production will probably never do.

Gus kills the Cartel basically the same he did in the main series, the twins are killed by Mike and Tuco would be easy since he’s a heavy drug user, just give him some poisoned drug

It would ha e been at most a 2 part story..done..

@@aetherialbeing4223 heck he almost took the ricin until Jesse mentioned it was made with chili powder.

Best villain in *fiction* by far!! lol hyperbole aside, I'd rank him towards the top, but Judge Holden from Blood Meridian has to take the crown.

heisenberg>>>>>>>

Thank you

It’s crazy, because it’s not too far off from how he was originally going to die. The writers were going to kill him off in season 1, likely when Tuco beats him up.

Walt would be early caught by Hank and Gus would not let him out of prison obviously because that was his last straw for him. Since he lost Max who is also a chemist and then gale, would you think he would forgive him for that? he took long time to find a trusted chemist. And his meth business would been ruined again because of Walter. I also personally think that Walter would rattle about Gus to Hank early in this case.

gus wouldnt care about walt, i dont think he would kill jesse either

he would be able to have jesse to cook for him without problems.

@@ughsorryihatemyself Walter didn't ruin anything. Look at the actual events. Gus was trying to kill Jesse, so Jesse was hiding out. Jesse goes to kill the 'drug dealers' for killing the kid, but Walter kills them to save Jesse. Gus now wants Walter dead, but Jesse is able to kill Gale. Now, Gus suddenly doesn't want to kill Jesse anymore; he takes him under his wing and only wants to kill Walter. Jesse actually starts flipping, even though Jesse was against Gus for ordering that kid to be killed Jesse betrays Walter and won't help him, forcing Walter to 'poison' the kid with a non-fatal poison. Walter 'wins' against Gus, but Jesse hates Walter for putting a kid in the hospital despite it not being fatal. Jesse betrays Walter to Hank over this; but Jesse was cozying up to Gus despite Gus actually killing a kid..... So Jesse makes no sense and really is a useful, betrayer and a junkie No where in this was Walter destroying anything. It was Gus being stupid and killing a kid and Jesse being a stupid junkie and constantly betraying Walter despite Walter saving his life and helping him more than once I used to think like you, until I re-watched Breaking Bad. Removed from the emotional manipulation of a first watch, it is clear Walter isn't at fault at all for what happens. It is everyone around him being total hypocrites

​@@pyropulseIXXI i think you skimmed over when you said walt poisoned jesse's girlfriend's child. "What did he do wrong here?" 🤦🏾‍♂️

Simple. Lalo would find another way to destroy Gus as he won’t give up on it. He would also past or not past the video footage to Don Eladio. Gus would be extremely careful on the other hand. Then, the cycle might repeat and either one of them would die the next time they meet.

What if Lalo fled after the assassination attempt and we see him in a flashforward in BCS

Only one of them gets out alive. What do you think, that Lalo would just give up?

What if Lalo and Varga both escaped together and had to work together and we see them in at the end of BCS in black and white?

@@hey7514 Bunch of his goons come in.Lalo in a hurry shoots Gus (in the bulletproof vest since he doesn't have time to go for a headshot) and flees through one of the windows before Gus' goons can kill him.

He's a 50 year old man with lung cancer and a bullet wound to the chest.

@@concept5631 in this “what if” video; not the actual show

​@@tjp0623 Well, the main focus in this what-if is Jimmy.

Thank you for the comment

*to better reiterate; what if Walt learned of Jesse and Hank working together before falling for their trap and not only killed Jesse but also Hank?

@@mathers7600 I doubt he would kill Hank. Even after his brother in law had put him in cuffs, he was still trying everything to get him out alive. And when Jack did kill him, Walter broke down. I doubt he could get himself to do that, especially knowing Hank had no evidence to tie him to.

Thank you thank you thank you

she wasnt in breaking bad so it’s basically the same as it was in the real story

Appreciate it! Thank you

The first one is on my list the last one is very interesting, thank you I like it

@@murgeproductions who is marion

@@murgeproductions who marion

@@darkwarlocks9823did you watch the show

​@@darkwarlocks9823 , Marion is carrol Burnett, she turned in Gene, or I should say Gene

Appreciate that bro and I’m happy you can recognize the work

Appreciate that bro and I’m happy you can recognize the work

Here’s hoping 🤔

You know I have something like that a few videos down the line

It's more than likely that after Lalo its dealt with Mike, will explain the situation and set a cover story for all of them to ascribe to. Howard will probably leave seeing Jimmy and Kim in a more harsher light. Kim would abandon their schemes with Howard and she wouldn't be traumatized enough to leave Jimmy and she probably would be a player in the events of breaking bad. In the end I do believe Kim might convince Howard to be Jimmy's lawyer during the end of the show as he tries his best to salvage the McGill name.

What if howard told Jimmy he was proud of him and he appreciated him

@@daddyGbaby I honestly would’ve loved that better than the actual story. Howard dying was the most tragic event in the universe and this includes deaths of children in and out of the game.

the end WOAHHHHH

Thank you!! Really that means a lot, and I’m glad you enjoy the content 🫡

Happy you like it

@@murgeproductions just what I need after just finishing bcs!

Welcome aboard

I give it my best try lol thank you

Appreciate it bro, just figured people want one video and it works out well for additional content lol

Goals bro!! . I’ll speak it into existence thank you my dude

The fact that this what if can have another what if shows how talented this guy is. I want a new what if where Walt from this version survived. What would happen next

Hmmm breaking bones lol

Thanks again!

Much appreciated! Thanks my dude and enjoy , make sure you leave a comment on each one you watch and let me know what you think.

@@murgeproductionsalright ill comment on them

My guy!!! 🫡

Lol

Interesting idea definitely worth exploring I put this on my list, thank you

Happy you like it

Facts

I’m honored

Tbf Krazy-8 was still a DEA informant by then...he couldn't get THAT big without raising some serious red flags. Gus could maybe off being an informant AND running a lowkey empire, but def not Krazy-8 lol

That’s one way to look at it

Glad you like them!
