What was I supposed to take away from this utterly mediocre show other than that a man's struggles mean nothing anymore if he doesn't please his disgusting shrew of a wife and the family under her thumb?

if you were a loser when you were younger you will always be a loser and doing the coolest shit possible, doesn’t mean you will stop being a loser it’s ingrained in you to loserdom. So never strive to achieve anything, because you will always be the dork you were when you were younger

There is no moral. Read a book. It's a soap opera meant to entertain you long enough to tune in next week. Which it did. Move on.

Breaking Bad really popularized inverted morality storytelling in American media. And not in the ways the writers think or wanted. They wanted you to hate Walter White, but everyone just hated the ones you were meant to like, like Skylar

Family holds you back. Walt & Jesse weren't blood related but were like family to an extent. Jesse was a retard deserved to die and Walt should've killed him or let him die many times throughout the series but couldn't because he viewed him like a son or brother. This is a story about the burden of family. Better call Saul touches upon this, too with Saul's brother. I think Vince is trying to say something here about how gay it is to deal with a retarded brother holding you back.

Better Call Saul was the better show. Based Vince made sure it had plenty of Seehorns feet.

Better Call Saul was objectively mid and only people with shit taste think it was better than Breaking Bad
The best part of Better Call Saul was unironically Walter and Jessie despite being just cameos

if you look at season 5 as non canon fan service then Skylar is inconsequential and it's just a fun rags to riches story.

I have like 5 more episodes to watch and the last season ends. I don't think Sandpiper and Mesa Verde end in these last episodes.

This. Walt changed. And he liked it. He was good at it
>>
>>215361168
Nah BCS was better, Vince's writing and cinematography improved a lot in BCS. Its jus that there's a lot of stupidity in BCS like the ramboing a gang stronghold and the lalo overstayed his appearance.
>>
>>215361288
Sandpiper ends because of Hamlin being suspected of being coked up because of the dilated pupils and his paranoid belief that Jimmy is setting him up all the time. Cokely makes them agree to the price he sets since everyone knows it's over and tells them to decide on the day because the offer shrinks by the next day.
>>
>>215361350
Breaking Bad and BCS have different styles of cinematography that fit their own shows well. Breaking Bad often has a lot of hand held camera work which fits the fast paced and high octane nature of the show while BCS uses a lot of well thought out static shots which fits the slow burn feel of the show. But I agree BCS cinematography is better overall
>>
>>215361392
In my opinion breaking bad had more of an earthy tone to it. Better call Saul has more of a light bubbly airy vibe to it.
>>
>>215360584
HEH WAAW

>>215361350
>Vince's writing and cinematography improved a lot in BCS.
No, it didn't. The camera was not shaking but that's it. And how I showed, the writing was much worse.
>>215361355
Shitty conclusion.
>>
>>215360482
Walter literally wins in the end
>>
>>215362987
How? He has no legacy, the meth heads that would actually care about him can't even remember their own names half the time.
>>
Why didn’t he just take the money from rich friend in the first or second episode?
>>
>>215363063
Pride and jealousy mostly.

I never quite liked this about Breaking Bad since it feels like it goes against the shows intended message of crime doesn't pay. Other people I think have also pointed this out
>>
>>215363313
Well it doesn't pay, that was very clear. His legacy is a disgrace and everyone he ever knew in life hated him by the end.
>>
>>215363313
It really doesn't pay.
Walter ends up with no family, money, friends or legacy to the world other than the toxic drug he sold to junkies.
>>
>>215363332
Yeah but it still felt a bit too much like Walt won despite all that. I kinda prefer this version of the ending without the baby blue song in some ways because I feel like it better emphasizes how Walter truly died alone.

Look up "Breaking bad X Baki" on youtube
They made 7 great videos
>>
>>215363407
Won what? That he made really good drugs? He died with nothing, not even the simple love of his family.
>>
>>215359232
You need to watch it when you’re older. This show is basically two shows that you have to watch 10+ years apart. The second one is better.
>>
>>215360508
This is retarded, Jimmy is the burden in BCS and Chuck is the protagonist
BCS is about how you never let people with ASPD into your life even if you’re blood related
>>
>>215363505
He would've been alright if Chuck had actually let him in. Jimmy did make a change in his life and was worked hard, he was honest throughout his time in the mail room and did all the studying needed to pass the bar. He genuinely changed and wanted to be closer to his brother, and his brother rejected him and forced him out.
>>
>>215363471
It's truly ironic that Walter's massive ego and insecurity stem from his childhood trauma of his sick Father making him hyperfearful of how others perceive and remember him, but his ego ultimately ended up leaving his family with the worst possible impression of him.

>>215359232
Family shit ruined the show. Better Call Saul is better in every way.
>>
>>215361392
Hard agree. however, BCS falls apart a bit aroud season 4/5 (forget exactly where), before pulling it in for a really decent finale.
The show had so much fucking soul.
>>
>>215363571
>making him hyperfearful of how others perceive and remember him
I haven't watched the show but isn't this how most people operate? After all once a group of people thinks you are a retard you will forever be ostracized and picked on. The only rational behaviour is to keep up a good reputation.
>>
>>215364687
Nta but it was more he was fearful of how his family would perceive him if he died sick and destitute, leaving his wife with a newborn and a disabled kid. The show tends to insist upon itself a little bit but Walt is not necessarily hyper fearful of everyone’s perception of him, his character is fairly dynamic. He does things he knows will end up getting him ostracized, like trying to fuck his boss and making enemies with his other boss for the sake of his junkie partner, but those are mostly plot devices. Walt’s issue really is that he did not give a fuck and just wanted to, for most of the show at least, keep his immediate family on his side. He goes full scorched earth at the end. Really he was fearful of how he would perceive his own life, him and his pride and his ego.

Would have been kino if it ended at season 4, but Bravo Vince had already made his mind up about le epic methlab shot he wanted to end the show with.

gilligan promised a monster by the end of the show but didn't deliver. the audience never gets a reason to root against walt and he's a sympathetic character until his death

If BB was an anime you'd be praising it

Do you think Walt Jr. got to bank Marie in the end?

It's a show about pride, and I'm not surprised by your language that you didn't get it

What if Jesse had just shot Mike and Gus after he killed Hector's Grandson and blamed their deaths on him to Gus' doctor?
Lydia and Schuler could cover up how they died and the lab is not destroyed and a known entity to the dea now.

The final season is truly masterful TV.
