Answering the ‘Unanswered’ Questions of Better Call Saul (part 2)
Просмотров 17 тыс.2 года назад
Hi, today we’re answering some quote unquote unanswered questions for Better Call Saul. These are questions that weren’t directly answered during the series. Mostly because I don’t think they were overly relevant really to the main plot. They were always meant to be things the audience fills in themselves. So, today that’s what we’re doing, we’re filling in the gaps based on what we know. This ...

This is obviously going to be a very subjective thing, so be sure to drop your own thoughts and personal picks too, down below, as this is going to largely be based on my own opinion.

Jimmy’s Greatest Regret - 6x13 ‘Saul Gone’ Analysis - Better Call Saul
Просмотров 15 тыс.2 года назад
Episode 6x13 of Better Call Saul was named ‘Saul Gone’ and was the final episode of the series, and likely the final piece of media from the Breaking Bad universe. We begin the episode right from where we left off in 6x12, with Saul fleeing Marion’s house. He retrieves his diamonds and gets ready to call the disappearer once more. With nowhere to go he jumps into a dumpster. A likely call back ...

Episode 6x12 of Better Call Saul, was titled ‘Waterworks’. This episode was the resulting consequences of the events of 6x11, ‘Breaking Bad’. For the first time since episode 6x09 we see Kim once more, but now living a similarly dull life to that of Gene, working at an irrigation company named Palm Coast Sprinkler, in a mundane office job, where the most mentally challenging part of her day is ...

The Downfall of Gene - 6x11 ‘Breaking Bad’ Analysis - Better Call Saul
Просмотров 38 тыс.2 года назад
This week’s episode of Better Call Saul was titled ‘Breaking Bad’. A call back to the first Breaking Bad episode featuring Saul, being named ‘Better Call Saul’. This felt like a pretty appropriate scene to introduce Walt and Jesse, with it being the genesis of the partnership. I liked how there was a good balance of plot relevant elements to these scenes, whilst also featuring some fun moments,...
How Gus Overcame Every Salamanca - Better Call Saul & Breaking Bad
Просмотров 1,3 млн2 года назад
Gus took down the Salamancas often indirectly. A far different approach to someone like Nacho say who had to act on a timer, and mostly face them head on, directly hiring hits on the Salamanca members, or directly inflicting them. Gus was forced to play the long and indirect game, with him being the main target to blame if Salamancas suddenly went missing. He required a strategy for each that w...
A New Side of Jimmy - 6x10 ‘Nippy’ Analysis - Better Call Saul
Просмотров 5 тыс.2 года назад
After the deep deep sadness of episode nine, this episode filled me with a lot of joy. A strange shift from the usual paranoia we feel when on board with Gene. For the first time ever, I felt more comfortable watching him over Jimmy. I think it did feel like a very odd tonal shift. We were taken from maybe the show’s darkest moment, and we were thrown into this almost whimsical heist episode, f...
The Inevitability of Better Call Saul - 6x09 ‘Fun and Games’ Analysis
Просмотров 70 тыс.2 года назад
Better Call Saul is a show that as a prequel, had a pre-determined outcome. Part of its tragedy was that we already knew the end. So, why do I hate the fact that we’ve finally arrived? I guess I didn’t expect to be this sad. I don’t know about you, but Saul was someone I’ve been wanting to see the whole series. I wanted that classic Breaking Bad Saul and his way with words. We’ve seen glimpses ...
Kim was Always on the ‘Bad Choice Road’ - Better Call Saul
Просмотров 29 тыс.2 года назад
There was a scene at the end of season 6, episode 6, where Kim turns from one road to another. This was for many, considered as her literal turning point onto the ‘bad choice road’ that many like to quote. This is going to be my approach to the whole ‘bad choice road’ discussion. As striking as the visual is, I think it’s clear that this turn is not really Kim’s entrance onto the bad choice roa...
How Nacho Overcame Every Salamanca - Better Call Saul
Просмотров 1,5 млн2 года назад
Throughout Better Call Saul, one of Nacho’s main obstacles was the Salamancas. He had a string of bad luck in that each time he got rid of one, another appeared, allowing him to never truly feel safe. In total he had to overcome five different members of the Salamanca family. I thought it’d be interesting to look at how he approached each. Hope you enjoy! You can watch Breaking Bad on Netflix: ...
The Best and The Worst Episode of Breaking Bad
Просмотров 107 тыс.2 года назад
Hey everyone, today we’re going to discuss the best and worst episodes of Breaking Bad. This is going to be a tough one, as Breaking Bad is a show I truly believe to have no conventionally bad episodes. When we talk about the worst, we’re talking about the worst, so not necessarily bad, just the weakest of the series. The one rule I have for picking which episode is the best, and the worst, is ...
The others were light work for Gus after Lalo
Nacho's worst mistake was getting Tuco arrested. That's what ultimately got the ball rolling for him to get sucked into Gus's debt, which led to him being a pawn in the Gus & Salamanca battle.
overcoming might be an overstatement considering all of them outlived him😂
Damn man you are so good at explaining things. You should definitely give a video game called Dead by Daylight a go!
I can’t wait for Hector to be added as a killer in Dead by Daylight
Gus is one of the most well written characters on film of all time. Fucking fantastic.
In a way his dad can still be proud because his son did help in the destruction of this ruthless cartel.
If Hector isn’t so heavy-handed with Nacho’s father, maybe Nacho becomes part of the cartel whole-heartedly.
I'm late to seeing it, but it's neat that you uploaded on this channel again
why does bro sound like a dead by daylight player on youtube?
Brother u sound like the dbd youtuber
which one?
Are you AZHYMOV?
Yes
But who is the best killer? The artist or the Chicken Man?
You can tell Mike cared deeply for Jimmy but knew that he changed for the worst. Also I think Jimmy and Gus would respect each other with both losing a loved one to the cartel and it changing them into a soulless money maker.
I think it’s interesting that every time nacho overcame one salamanca he get a far more ruthless and intelligent one in there place
gus didnt overcome hector. Hector got the last laugh and killed gus and seen him afraid in his last moments
Lover? Wtf u talking about
for some reason people like to see a man care deeply about another man and instantly go "those 2 must've been fucking"
I think that the writers and actors strike that went on during (pre-)production of this season shows. Hopefully season 3 will pick it up a bit
The only reason we never saw Tuco and Gus meet was because Gus knew he couldn’t beat him since Tuco was the king
Are you the dbd guy?? Ahzhmohvs or sumthin
They completely ruined Rhaenyra.
Gus beat the Salamancas by kissing men
was not expecting the voice telling me about which DBD killer is most loyal to the entity also talk about Lalo...
Not watching this video but I’m just gonna say. First half is good, second half is mid, final episode mostly missed. Biggest issue is setting up a whole lot and paying off very little.
So why comment then…weird
This season is mostly about characters. If we don't spend time with the characters, the things that happen to them won't hit the way the should. Also If you are not interested in seeing the main characters (Alicent Rhaenyra and Deamon) then there is no reason for you to watch. Their journey are the prime focus.
One of the victims are dream fyre she's just locked up while still being claimed by a rider who literally doesn't ride her or interact with her she's just left "abandoned"
I’ll just say that yeah it was not a thrilling finale but at least it left me wanting to see more. Can’t say that for almost any other shows.
Yea, I'm still invested too, for sure!
Remember, if youre critical of the show it's only because there arent enough battles or action (cheap and lazy autoreponse from the stans).
I hope the House of the Dragon show runners and writers watch your review and improve season 3 the way you describe
The problem is the script. It doesn't matter how much time the characters are on the screen if they are not doing anything relevant and coherent. And that what happened this season.
Do you guys not understand how quick the dance of dragons was? You guys want a battle each episode but every battle is fatal if you had a battle every episode the series would be over
Alicent and Rhanera didn’t do anything all season, especially Alicent. Check that: no one really did anything.
I really really want them to divulge just how much a dragon costs to have on the screen. This keeps being used as a reason we don't get more of them, yet we have movies being made entirely out of pretty believable CGI all the time. I guess I just don't buy it, really. Has there ever been a break down of how much per second this apparent pinnacle of CG technology costs?
You said everything perfectly!
Misandry was the cause of HotD S2’s shortcomings. They don’t want to give up the “men evil and violent, women just and diplomatic” motivations.
You sound like the dead by daylight guy
weird that
I sometimes wonder why wont directors and screenwriters just read people opinions/ideas/theories on how the story should evolve and then just do it.
I don't feel that's slow, it's more like pointless scenes, the pace would be perfect if there was more purpose to the scenes other than repeating what was already established
I stopped at episode 5. I’m done and I’m done with all the other GRRM spinoffs that are in the works. Waste of time
Good review, I can see where you´re coming from. Personally I was on board with the show up until Episode 6, but yeah, we have to be honest and say that momentum is a huge factor of what makes a series like this great. I think a lot of people would have been displeased with GOT Season 2 without blackwater for example. Blackwater was the culmination of Tyrion´s arc. And personally I would have needed something like that for this season as well. And as you rightly point out, too many scenes of Alicent and Rhaenyra.
Season 1 had plot set ups that were paid off almost always in the same episode. Season 2s episodes were almost all set up with no payoff. Like you said each episode in s1 had its own small conflict that added to the overall conflict. Only the dragonseed pay off actually happened in the same episode it was set up in. Even though it was a big topic in the prior episodes before it.
The showrunner and writers believe this is a story between Rhaenyra and Alicent, where it is actually a civil war between two sides. They have critically misunderstood the plot
Stop using women writers 😂 They dont have kids how the hell are gonna write Alicent and Rhaenyra like that They didnt even remember HER ONLY GRANDSON, HER SON EAT BY A DRAGON OR HER UNBORN DAUGHTER OE MAYBE HER HUSBAND exile by her own hand All interesting dialogue could be made with thouse characters in mind but nahhh better talk about Patriarchy for the 50 time or about flying to Essos why no Yass queens
Blame HBO for not giving them the budget money for episodes 9-10 this season would’ve been fine if we got the big battle that would’ve been episode 9 and the aftermath in episode 10
Writers boicot They cut the season and you can feel this was write by one guy or girl
@@Morfe02 yes it was because of the writers strike and the budget. Those dragon fights and epic battles cost millions to make, I think HBO should bet the bank and pay whatever the cost to get the epic battles and 10 episode seasons and make HOTD the best show on tv like GOT was before
@@tonymontez2358 of course but now is worst They have like 10 battles Next season dragón and soldiers They need like 6 seasons if is the budget but in 4 seasons means a lot of time Skip my god
@@Morfe02 idk if we’re getting 10 battles I think we might get 3 or 4 tho I’ve heard it cost around $50 million just to do one big battle. I get the feeling they really are trying to stretch the show for more seasons I’m sure they probably want more than 4 seasons plus HBO doesn’t have any other big shows so they might as well try to get get 6 or 7 seasons and flesh out all the characters
@@tonymontez2358 i really Hope at least 5 6 would be exagerated unless they have GOOD characters something very difficult if they spend time making fan-trailers about Game of THRONES instead of introducing the Riverlords or maybe Jeyne or the Winter wolves with Rodin
After seeing the scene between Rhaenyra and Alicent, I was wondering in what world does this kind of a meeting happen? And not just once but twice?! These 2 people are the leaders of 2 factions at war. How are they not even captured before being able to meet the other leader. The idea of something like this happening during any war time is unbelievable. The ony time something like this can happen is to negotiate peace terms or something like that (if I'm not mistaken). And the worst thing is both of these scenes did nothing good. In the 1st one I was so surprised that each of them brush off the death of their child and grandchild. And in the second one is just a character assassination of Alicent. All her motives and actions of all this time thrown down the drain. Why does Hollywood keep on hiring writers to push agendas instead of telling good stories?
Heavy on the no lingering feelings about the deaths. I expected the death of Luke to affect Rhaenyra beyond ep 1, same for Aegon, Helaena and Alicent with Jahaerys. By the end of the season the characters all act like they forgot it happened entirely.
I think the lack of perspectives is for me the biggest issue of the series. We are way too focused on the queens and the other characters seem to pop out of nowhere when they are needed and then fade back into obscurity once they are no longer needed for the immediate plot. One example are the dragon riders who are just suddenly introduced withouth a lot of preamble. The whole thing just seems so abrupt. I also dont understand how these people who get basically a medievil equivalent of a nuclear weapon for some reason swear fealty immedialty to a queen in exile. Also dont the dragons communicate between each other at all? Dont they have any sort of hierarchy of leadership?.
This is the dbd lore guy😳
The showrunners deciding to make rhanyra the main character instead of going the GoT route where they have a bunch of characters whose story we follow was extremely stupid. In the books Rhaenyra didn't do much at this point in the war, and with the showrunners focusong so much on her it is highlighted and she seems way more useless than she is. She drains away screentime from the rest of team black. We at least know the people on the green council, like Larys, Otto Christon. I chalange you to name 3 non valiryan people o the black council. Rhaenyra is constantly arguing with a bunch of random nobles on her team and we have no idea who these people are and why would they be of any importance.
Emma D’Arcy is a special person and therefore she gets all of the attention. Don’t be a hater!
Yes they made a mistake by making Rhaenyra be the main character. It made it that story perspectives and screen time couldn't be allotted to multiple characters during the war. A good number of whom as pointed out by many, play a more active role in the war then Rhaenyra and Alicent.
We need a count of every council scene this season
