>feels 1% of the pain he caused Saul>instantly kills himself
>>222938210You could argue he's felt 100% of it since childhood
>>222938210why are boomers like that?
Formerly Sneed.

>>222938421Many such cases
did Chuck run the better cons?
it was several factors:>made a fool of himself in court>outwitted by Jimmy>ex wife found out about the condition he's trying to hidethese were the factors that made him wake up and try to forget about his fear of the chimp with a machine gun. he tried to improve and become his old self again, the guy who built up HHM, successful lawyer. This is his only goal, but the malpractice insurance rate going up causes Howard to insist on Chuck's retirement, and he wants him out so badly that he is ready to pay 9 million from his own savings. This devastates Chuck. Now he's the one who is not a lawyer anymore and Jimmy is just suspended for a year. His entire purpose in life has been removed, and he does not have the routine of just starting over from scratch that Jimmy learned early on.After typing it all out, yeah, I agree, it's a one-time incident that shouldn't be perceived as painful as years of constant stings against someone. Anyway, he wishes he had never cared so much about Jimmy, because it would have allowed him to lead a normal life without the condition. I guess that's why he tells this regret as an absolute statement to Jimmy in their last meeting, as some sort of fuck you and trying to reclaim his status.
>>222938396imagine being 10 years or so older than your brother in your childhood and you see him fuck up trivial things so often
>>222941218Imagine being the older brother and instead of supporting and guiding your siblings you sabotage them at every turn because of jealousy and ego.
why did he sell seed and feed to sneed?
>>222941776this, I can't even comprehend blocking my little brother from opportunities or crabbing him.
>>222938210unpopular opinion: chuck was right and jimmy was a dangerous criminal who got people killed.
>>222942058that was after chuck killed himself, forever altering jimmy
>>222942058yeah chuck was a cunt but he was right
>>222942147nigga he stole from his own parents shop
>>222939699Could he not just join another firm?
>>222942147In one of their last interactions Chuck also told Jimmy to embrace his destructiveness. That's exactly what he did with the mall walker grannies then, and keeping Howard under the belief that the suicide was his fault. In my first watch I thought that Jimmy was just too surprised by Chuck's death, but on rewatches I get the impression that he's supposed to secretly be amazed at how far his evil self can go. Still, as you said, the incident altered him. It's as if Chuck's death was the first real consequence for him. The one thing he can't undo by talking himself out of it. His role model and safety belt gone.
>jimmy you have a history of crime, you are a scammer, you don't take anything seriously, you don't care about others, you really shouldn't be a lawyer>NOOOO THIS IS VIOLENCE CHUCK SHOULD FUCKING DIE THE MONSTER
>>222942242No other firm is going to take him once they learn that the malpractice insurance for him and only him is going to be higher, not just because of the cost but because it raises questions about his mental state and fitness to be a lawyer. It's severe reputational damage. And it will only get worse once gossip goes out that Howard was ready to bankrupt himself to get Chuck out of the firm he founded.
Id rather be friends with Chuck than saul
>>222942319you have a responsibility to not kill yourself if you have loved ones depending on you. chuck let jimmy down and is thus partly responsible for his change in behaviour. So that means chuck was NOT right about jimmy being a dangerous criminal who got people killed, which was the original claim.
>>222942319>but on rewatches I get the impression that he's supposed to secretly be amazed at how far his evil self can goI think that scene, sitting on the curb and watching the smoldering wreckage of Chuck's house, is Jimmy's Richard III moment, where he just gives in to self-loathing and nihilism and decides to be the amoral bastard Chuck said he was.>And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover,>To entertain these fair well-spoken days,>I am determined to prove a villain>And hate the idle pleasures of these days.
