He's a genuine actual scumbag and I don't think Chuck is to blame for his actions.
>>218664664Chuck was right about everything but had the misfortune of being elitist and condescending on a personal level so his criticism were dismissed as being unreasonable seething. Jimmy got by solely because of his charisma and charm and this made people like him more despite being a soulless scumbag.It's basically proving the point of the meme that women like loser criminals more than regular guys because they have more game.
>>218664664Chuck had a real chance to help his brother along the upward trajectory he was on. His absolute disdain and hardline superiority towards him prevented that from happening. Jimmy's agency ultimately decided who he would be, but Chuck definitely played a part.
>>218667050It's kind of funny how anti-Chuck people's main argument is literally that unflinching nepotism is the morally right thing to do.Also, Jimmy got exactly the type of opportunity he wanted with Davis & Main, a firm just as good as H&M, and look at what he did. He did it because he was bored and hated following protocol. He would be like that anywhere. That was literally the entire point of the Davis & Main story arc.
today i was thinking about how hard it could be watching him prank howard and fool howard and frame howard and destroy howard, but he was on such a conveyor belt of entertaining kim, and all the chuck stuff, and how he never really knew it was chuck who banned him from the law firm, not howard . . . so many relatable perceptions of what the truth is, the saul / howard / chuck dynamic must be drawn from other literary sources but i'm too retarded to chase them down so i just enjoy the series as presented to me.
>>218664664Slippin' Jimmy was, yes. That's why the ending was so good. James McGill killed Slippin' Jimmy.This is why brainlet retards get the ending so wrong, and cry about it. It wasn't "he did le right thing, how lame!". The whole entire point of the ending is that for once in his life James managed to truly defeat his demon. It wasn't to appease society. It was to prove his own strength and defiance.
>>218667004>>218667050>>218667211>>218669325>>218669424All refreshingly good posts.
>>218669603BCS is one of the only shows where people on all sides actually give good and thought-out arguments because the show is so fucking slow that gettng to the end implies some level of patience and intelligence.
>just wanted to run his law firm>his crazy law partner and his brother keep him from doing that. HH did nothing wrong
>>218669693Rare that you get a depiction of a genuinely good guy like him on tv these days.
>>218669779BCS is probably the last mainstream American show that will ever depict such a character positively, and to not pander by filling the cast with non-white mary-sues. I'd bet money on it.
>>218669883Think you're right.
>>218667211It's not unflinching nepotism, it's avoiding active sabotage of someone who you're currently dependent upon who may, just may be serious about a real, respectable career. Howard was perfectly willing to give Jimmy that chance without Chuck's cowardly, two-faced interference. You can argue that Jimmy would have thrown the chance away anyway and you may be right, but it doesn't matter; at that time it was Chuck's responsibility to act like a decent older brother and not a backstabbing asshole. He doesn't have to actively help Jimmy get the job, but he can see if he makes it on his own while keeping a close eye on him.
Enjoyable thread
>>218664664Why do you act like lawyers aren't scumbags?
>>218670354Sure, that's fair.But at the same time, Chuck's position is absoutely 100% undersstanable if you put yourself in his shoes because you don't see "the main character of a TV show", you see "your younger brother who has fucked over your dad and his business, and then been a scammer his whole life, and then got arrested for this bullshit a few years ago", and if you let him become an active and public part of your firm....shit, what are you risking with that? It will absolutely destroy your reputation that you've spent 30 years building because of this asshole, who you have not a single fucking reason to trust or give the benefit of the doubt at this point.Chuck was not omniscient and did not know that at this one very specific pount in life Jimmy may have had good intenions. Every single bit of evidence in his entire life has pointed otherwise and if you were in his shoes you'd feel the same, don't fucking lie.>>218671494The only trhead on here that i actually like discussing disagreements with anons on because everyons is thoughtful and reasonable, yeah
