Mike is a bad character. There, I fucking said it. I know reddit would have a heartattack reading that.
It's like the writers so desparately wanted to have a "cold, stoic, emotionless and ruthless enforcer" type character that is a badass, but because they're pussies they didn't want to commit to him being an unlikeable psycho asshole so they kept trying to give him the moral high-ground even when it felt very unnatural and unrealistic. Especially bad in late series Breaking Bad and all of Better Call Saul.
Walt was 100% justified in killing Gus and taking over, and he was right that Mike getting caught was his own fuck-up. Mike's "rant" that people love to quote is just him being angry that he backed the wrong horse and got outsmarted by Walt. Gus was a much worse person than Walt, morally speaking, and yet Mike conveniently ignores all of that for a reason NEVER explained.

I liked him in Better Call Saul. But it makes him even worse in Breaking Bad.

BCS was a buddy cop series

No it wasn't, but it would have been so much fucking better if it was
If the show focused on Saul and his shady and funny lawyer shenanigans with whacky and fun characters in a more episodic format it would have been a 10/10 series, like I thought it would be in season 1
But instead making it "Breaking Bad lite" was so fucking lame and boring

Youre missing the point. Gus may have been a worse person than walt, but walt was way sloppier. Mike wouldnt care about someones personal morality, but he would care about getting personally caught.

This guy and his "aura" is terrible for the series. Both of them. The guy sucks. Every problem in the final seasons was due to his "code".

>we had a good thing waltuh
>it all worked like CLOCKWORK, except for the numerous conflicts we had with the cartel which constantly disrupted our business
>like when our main engineer escaped and we had to kill him
>also the time Gus walked right into a trap and almost got killed
>but aside from that it was clockwork waltuh

That's what I thought we were getting. Instead we get a fucking origin story and Odenkirk isn't even Saul for 90% of it.

then it could have run for 3 seasons only
no reason to having turned it into a 6 seasons crap full of cartel drama, gary-stu old fart and BB fanservice shitfest

Mike is a hypocrite.
That's his defining characteristic.
It's on the audience for not picking it up.
