I don't think Mike would stand for an innocent baby getting killed, He might watch it unfold from his car, but after learning about it, he'd tell Gus, "We're done, an innocent baby?" And that's when the trouble starts for Gus
I highly doubt Mike would let 2 kids aswell as 2 women all of whom were innocent be slaughtered without raising a gripe to Gus about it other than that fantastic video
Especially since he has his own granddaughter and knows that Marco and Lionel have no problem with killing children (when they threatened to kill her in BCS) he would definitely at least not be as chill as the video portrays him
@@censingterror7329 people keep using that as an argument... "He has a granddaughter, he wouldn't let that happen" When has that ever stopped any killer?
I feel like you're completely mischaracterizing Mike. He's not a good guy, just because he cares about his family doesn't mean anything. Sure, it might be upsetting, but that's just the game.
The only part of this I’m skeptical about is Mike letting the Salamancas kill all of Walt’s family. I feel like he would either try to step in some way, try to convince Gus to keep it from happening, or resent him so much that he decides to take action
@@murgeproductions Ziegler wasn't exactly innocent, he knew what he was in wasn't any good, and had very clearly directions to follow, Walter's family were completely innocent and oblivious, MIke would 100% step in against it, Walt's family wasn't in the game.
@@murgeproductions Ziegler was going to die anyways as both gus's men and lalo were after him, and let him die in a rather humane way. its unfortunate he had to die at all but in the situational ziegler was in, that was probably the best death he was going to get.
@@murgeproductions Ziegler was killed out of a last ditch effort to spare him the pain that would've happened otherwise- If Mike would've tried something else, he likely would've- but the killing did effect Mike.
@@bumblebee.146 Gus was aware that Mike was about to shoot Hector and made sure he didn't. So if he could follow him like that I'm sure there's at least a chance Gus and his crew could kill Mike.
Mike, like Gus, is more depraved six years after Better Call Saul to have him not interfering be a possibility. Especially if that'll likely risk his own family's safety.
Big glaring issue I see with this is Mike being complicit in the deaths of multiple innocent bystanders, two of which being children and one being a literal infant. Mike has made it very clear that he’s a hard no on killing civilians, there’s no chance in hell he’d be ok with the cousins killing Walt’s entire family.
There's only one small hole in your plot. Mike would never allow a calculated murder of Walt's family. He refused to let Gus take out Nacho's dad, and even threatened retaliation if he tried. There's no way he'd let a woman and two kids die
What if the car accident with Marie was actually true. Before Walt calls Saul Hank gets a phone call telling him that Marie is dying at a hospital due to a car accident.
Correction: the blowfish metaphor happened after the spooge arc. The whole point of jesse being a blowfish was that his reputation was a cold blooded killer who crushed a guys head with an ATM even though it was completely false.
Personally, I think Walter did have a perfect death. He killed everyone he searched to destroy, successfully managed to give the remaining 8 million dollars to Walt jr, and even though he did die in the end, I would say he accomplished everything he wanted because at the end, he died to his own hands before the police busted in.
It wasn't really perfect. His family hated him in the end and he had to settle for allowing his family to believe that Elliot and Gretchen gave them the money (which was 11 million, not 8) rather than himself. Plus both his family and Jesse have mental scars that will follow them for the rest of their lives, even Holly who is too young to remember any of it will only ever know her father as a psychotic drug kingpin. The only real good parts about it is 1. The money he left his family was FAR above the 700 thousand goal he set himself in the season 1 finale. 2. He died on his own terms rather than dying sick in a hospital bed. 3. He avenged Hank and saved Jesse from permanent enslavement.
Second cellphone wasn't the only problem. His disappearance would raise suspicions about him cheating. So Skyler might call Gretchen to find out that Walt never accepted any charity money. Then she would call Walt's mother to find out he never visited her. Then she would tie the dots and realise Walt is a drug dealer
Love how you turned a video essay into a fanfiction, and a genuinely well written one ngl. The characters feel accurate to the show and you touched on pretty much all sides of the story. Awesome job 👌
Really loved this. I honestly think Gomez was the most loyal man in the story and I believe Hank and Gomez were the true heroes of the show. Gomez always stood by hank’s side and whenever he needed help, Gomez was always there. He’s a truly admirable character
I feel like "Walt's perfect death" would involve: 1. Him dying in peace surrounded by his family who never found out about his drug empire 2. Manipulating Gus and the Salamancas into killing each other off, and for them to have known that he was the one that defeated them in their final moments. 3. Seeing Hank become a national hero by heroically saving a bunch of innocent people from the crossfire of the Gus-Salamanco battle, also humiliating them in the process and ruining any reputation and legacy that they might have had 4. Finding a way to steal most of their money at the last moment and for Heisenberg to have taken the credit for it, thereby embarrassing the DEA for letting Heisenberg take all the money they meant to bust and failing to discover him as he fled into the sunset as a sort of mythic criminal legend (passing this money to his family who think that it was incredibly sound secret investments) 5. Seeing Jesse leave with his girl and having Jesse thank him for changing his life, before Jesse sets off into his life as a wealthy business owner of a growing pharmaceutical company thanks to the knowledge that Walt passed to him Walt "did it for himself," but he still wanted those he cared about to prosper. He wanted Heisenberg to be seen as the unstoppable legend that Walter White never could be, but he also wanted his wife and son to never worry about money again, he wanted Hank to get to win in his own way (as long as it never hurt Heisenberg's legacy), he wanted to destroy and humiliate those who supposedly towered over him in the criminal underworld, and he wanted the snot-nosed kid Jesse to look up to him and see a genuine hero and to blame all his good fortune on Walt. He wanted to die knowing that he had been exceptional in every aspect of his life. An probably not with his family being murdered.
The only unbelievable part of this story is Mike willingly letting Gus plan to murder innocent people, including an infant. If he had issues about Gus threatening Nacho's dad, then theres no way he'd agree with Gus allowing a baby to die
Jesse and Walt continue to cook for Gus, Walter is far less unpredictable because even if he is working under someone else like Gus, he recognizes his value without flaunting it towards Gus. He knows he is *the* Cook. And Jesse once his worst student is now the pupil he's taught more than anyone else. Gus is able to complete his revenge on the Salamancas and since Walter never gave Gus any reason to think about replacing Jesse with Gale, Walter never receives "Leaves of Grass" and Hank is never alerted to the connection between Walter and Heisenberg. Because Walter isn't trying to get Jesse to turn against and help him kill Gus, Walter never poisons Brock. Jesse continues to see Andrea and Brock while helping Walt cook for Gus, he works closely with Mike at times and they're both generally treated with respect by their superiors.
This definitely needs a follow up, Mike wouldn’t just let gus off after he got a newborn baby and an innocent family killed, hell I doubt he’d even go through with it at all, it’d be cool to see some sort of lone wolf Mike breaking off his agreement with gus over this and instead of the Walter vs gus battle it’s Gus vs Mike
If this gets a part 2 you have to talk about how Mike's bittersweetness would definitely have him overtake Gus and probably kill him because he is using innocent people as pawns in his plans and he doesn't care if they get killed
I dont really find this as the perfect ending for Walt but it did intrigue me. Heres some suggestions: What if Hank never found out?, what if Jesse had never found out about the ricin, and what if Skyler supported walt?
Walt described this as his perfect death back in the fly episode, he made enough money to sustain his family, his daughter was born and business was concluded with Jesse at that point while he was holding his daughter he probably felt the most at peace in his entire lofe
What if during the knife fight, Holly White tackled Walt to the ground instead of Walter Jr, and he instead abducts Walt Jr by carrying him to his van while Skyler scream after him?
I have a really hard time thinking Mike would allow 2 innocent women, a crippled teenager and a newborn baby die to the Salamancas. I imagine he would quietly come up behind them as they entered the house and shoot to kill. Aim for the back of one of their heads, and as the other turns, he's already shooting his second shot.
I can't explain it but this feels like if breaking bad was condensed into a season of better call saul. Obviously the ending of BCS would have to be heavily rewritten but its a cool concept to heavily cut down breaking bad but still have it feel complete. Possibly my favorite video you've made yet.
I got 2 suggestions, what if Saul did show up to clean up Jane death, and Mike didn't exist & What if Breaking Bad and The Sopranos exist in the same universe and cross paths causing a Tony vs Walt battle
I kinda hoped that Hank would beat the twins just barely as he did in the show, with Walter's money that Saul promised paying for his medical bills, as hank goes full blown detective to uncover Gus, and eventually find out that Walter was the one who got his whole family killed for basically nothing.
It would never happen. Although Gus is an evil genius who usually places logical judgement above emotion, he is simply too emotionally driven to let Tyrus take care of it himself. Due to Gus’s determination in avenging his best friend/lover Max, sending Tyrus would be out of character for him. Interesting idea, though!
@@theanimatedcomedian726 unless he suspected a trap and sent him in to check for bombs? Mabye then he gets the bomb taken, qnd then goes in himself. He also knows then that Walter made a bomb.
I just had an idea. What if hank just got help for his ptsd of the gunfights and el paso. He’d actually get shit done, be happier, and probably still manage to be brutally fucking killed.
Honestly a part two would be interesting, mike after being haunted at the thought of an entire innocent family being sacrificed for frings game, comes to the conclusion that if the whites were expendable and they weren’t even involved, who’s to say Gus won’t do the same to him and more importantly his grandchild. This could eventually lead to mike tracking down a depressed Steve, and possibly Jesse coming back to Albuquerque once news of what happened reaches him. Despite protest from Jane I think Jesse would tell her something along the lines of "Listen this life we’re living right now, none of it would’ve happened without mr white I gotta go back and set things straight". Eventually finding his way to Steve and mike who form a vengeance seeking trio against fring. Jesse could go undercover in frings operation similar to when he was gonna take over cooking is original timeline except this time he’s gales assistant/partner. Mike continues his duties as usual but now being monitored and bugged by Steve and the rest of the DEA. Maybe gus eventually finds out about mikes betrayal and once he sees how vulnerable his operations now are he reluctantly accepts help from the rest of the cartel, starting an all out war between Gus, the dons, hector and the cartel vs mike, Steve, Jesse and the DEA.
I’ve watched some of these and generally they all require a character to go against who they are. The lower scale such as Gus revealing himself to them and jumping to a deal that Jesse handles which would’ve been the opposite of the character. Kinda reinforces how well it was written.
@@murgeproductionsthat's a great idea. Make it happen! I'm somewhat sad we didn't get to watch it, lol. That's something that would be fun as hell. Doesn't fit with the rest of the show's plot at all, lol, so we never had any chance, but a what if video would be great.
If you are reading this, I had two very good ideas that could make for an interesting What if! One. What if Badger screws up the deal with DEA and the Fake Walter? The civilian who matches heisenberg appearances just leaves as Badger is pushing too hard for him to take the blue meth. The Civilian thinks this is very weird and walks off. Hank gets pissed off, drives over to the bench and grabs Badger into the car. Yelling at him that Heisenberg could obviously tell it was bait and said the deal is off. Fake Heisenberg is sitting across the other bench staring awkardly and decides to just leave when he realizes the plan failed. Jesse and Walter are distraught as they wasted all of that money plus for Jesse, he is worried that Badger will flip. Saul convinced Walter to just order the hit anyway on Badger since now unless he gives actual names, he is going to prison. The hit is carried and Badger is murdered. Hank was following the civilian, looking for any clue that he is Heisenberg. He eventually gives up as he turns out to be a civilian but then returns his attention back to him once he finds out that Badger was killed in prison. This distracts Hank long enough to not focus on other leads for awhile so he might not interact with Jesse like he did originally. Stalking this civilian eventually gets him trouble for harassment and Hank is suspended (But not fired...maybe?). But... killing Bader, this completely breaks off any chance of Jesse and Walt working together. Saul introduces Walter to Gus but this time Wakter is by himself. Gus has a far better first impression without Jesse around. Jesse however is pissed and hates Walt for what happened to Badger, starts selling blue meth on his own. It starts to attract police attention and even Gus attention. Combo still dies and Jesse is on a path of self destruction. Jesse blames Walter for all of it, makes it very clear he will give up Walts name if he is ever arrested as some sort of revenge. Walter at this point, cannot bring himself to kill Jesse so he calls his bluff. However, Saul does not and reports this to Mike, who reports it to Gus, who knows Jesse is selling Walters formula. Thinking Walter is being too soft on this junkie for sentimental reasons, Gus orders a henchman to arrange a drug deal with Jesse and make it seem like it went south resulting in Jesse death. Walter is none the wiser and thinks Jesse was killed by random druggies. This time, Gus and Walter have zero reason to not trust each other or hate each other. They form a much better and respectful relationship. With Gus resources and Walter mind, they form a deadly drug empire. Gus may even be able to stop Walt cancer by giving him the best of the best medical experts to help him. Since Hank is likely not going to be in the same parking lot when when he was fired and thus likely not in his car, he is later killed by the Twins in revenge for Tuco death only this time without either of the Twins getting hurt in process or killed. Maybe Marie is killed as well since she might spend a lot more time with Hank as he is not working now. Gus uses this opportunity to satisfy the Twins rage for now and to also convince Walt to help take down the Salamanca family. Two. What if Walter swallowed his pride and allowed Hank to believe Gale was Heisenberg? I dont know much what you can do with this besides Hank going off the case and Walter not having to worry about Gus wanting to kill him since Hank will assume Heisenberg formula was learned and thats why he was capped. Could make situation more unique but I still think Gus wants Walter dead/gone and Jesse to replace him.
@@murgeproductions Thank you! I been watching your videos and ideas just came pouring into me as well. Keep up the great work! I cannot wait to see it! Btw is there a way I can join your discord server? The older link expired sadly. Also I made a mistake lol, Badger was supposed to ask for the blue meth and then gives Fake Heisenberg the money xD I thought more on "What if Walt swallowed his pride and allowed Hank to believe Gale was Heisenberg". I think it will end up similar to "What if Mike Was Around During The End of Season 4?" except that now that Walt has money, Hanks death is prevented and is spending more time with his family, it calms him down enough to not sabatoge Gus and getting him killed. Walt has no burning hatred for Gus/Mike/Jesse due to Hanks death not happening. He cant return as Heisenberg as now the entire criminal underworld believes he is dead so despite the urge to return after seeing Jesse/Gus take credit for his blue meth, he lets it go. I think Jesse might go to back to make peace with Walter after some time passes as he knows Walt is going to die soon. Wither Walt accepts it or not, I dunno. Gus only shows mercy to Walt just keep Jesse around but also because this time, his nerves are not rattled this time since Hank isnt close on his trail.
@@murgeproductions Alright no problem! :) Keep up the good work. Oh and in relating "What if Badger screws up the deal with DEA and the Fake Walter?", I forgot to mention that Gus and other criminals, REALLY hate snitches. Plus Mike would likely just encourage him since he was all for Jesse being killed in the actual series as well. Mike may say something like "Yeah, this kid used to be his student in high school so Walt is very likely protective of his students even to this day. Now they may have a lot of history but Walt is going to get himself and by extension, us sabatoged if he calls Jesse bluff. Jesse was with Krazy 8 and Emilio Koyama prior to them forming their little team. So Jesse is fully in the game while Walter just came in so he has no idea how it goes. No half measures Gus. That rat has gotta go."
You’ve probably gotten this before, but what if marie’s car accident was real? I mean what if walter HIMSELF forced saul to get one of the guys from his black book to set up a car accident. how would that affect hanks reaction to finding out the truth? how would that change what he does to jesse following that event?
Two ideas: What if Skyler was informed of Walter passing out at the car wash, thus receiving the news about the cancer at the same time as Walter? And What if Walter made it to Gale's apartment first?
I've spent the past few weeks binging this same kind of speculative format but with the Sopranos, now it's looking like I can write off the next month or so too. Thanks, man. Great videos
Honestly, I think you should do “What if Walt Jr. worked in Los Pollos Hermanos?”. Think about it, this could lead Flynn closer to the crossfire between Walt and Gus and could potentially lead him into learning about Heisenberg earlier than canon.
I think this episode needs a part 2 and is called Jesse's revenge. Because, this would be in the news all over the world. Since Jane and Jesse are somewhere but maybe not in America. Jesse would find this horrofying news devastating, and would go back to Alberquerque, and maybe tell the truth about Walt to the D.E.A. And why? Because he knows Steve is the best friend of Hank and seek revenge for Walt's family, working together with the D.E.A. But will Jesse and the D.E.A. find out it was Gus all along? And will they arrest them? That's for you to decide.
Man, I'm loving this series. I don't see Mike letting the Salamanca Twins go after the White family when the baby is in the house, too. He clearly wanted to end Todd when he shot the kid in the spur of the moment. He just wouldn't have been okay with Gus making the family the sacrifice for the Salamanca family. I imagine the encounter would go much the same way as it had before. Don Bosa, Hector Salamanca and the Twins meet with Gus who details that the man they want revenge on is dead and that he won't condone violence against civilians not involved in the business north of the border. The twist is that he offers them another target: Hank. Don Bolsa denounces it, saying the DEA would crack down on the Eladio Cartel if they brazenly attacked the DEA on US soil. Gus offers a solution: the Salamanca twins can carry out the coup de grace, but the kill has to be just with a gun and the attack will be carried out by Gus's men, cleanly and efficiently. Don Bolsa looks ask Hector if this is to his liking. The old Salamanca appreciates the idea of Gus taking all the risk and the Salamanca's reaping the reward. He answers with a single ding of his bell. The Face Off: The twins sit in a car tailing Hank while Mike, Tyrese and Victor ride in a blacked-out SUV. Gus remains with Don Bolsa and Hector, so Mike makes the call warning Hank of the impending attack. Mike uses the same voice modulator to disguise his identity as he warns Mike that the Salamancas are tailing him and provides a description of their car in the parking lot. Shocked from his disbelief, Hank warns the other customers to escape out the back entrance as he looks out the front entrance and makes eye contact with the Salamancas. Realizing they've been spotted, the Salamancas look over to the Mike's blacked out SUV. Mike rolls down the window, revs the engine and gives the twins a nod as if he'll back them up. Emboldened, the twins gun their engine and ram the video rental store. Meanwhile, Mike pulls away at a leisurely pace, leaving the Salamanca twins and Hank to their shootout. Hank manages to kill Marco in the passenger seat as soon as the car smashes through the entrance of the store. Leonel ducks out of his door and attempts to shoot at Hank from behind the hood of the smashed car. Hank moves through the store, using the shelves for concealment and the aisles as firing lanes as he and Leonel hunt each other. Leonel, realizing Gus's men have abandoned him, pulls out his phone to warn Don Bolsa, but is distracted when the call fails to connect and is gunned down by Hank. Meanwhile, Don Bolsa and Hector wait in the office with Gus, anticipating a call to Bolsa's cellphone to inform him the kill was completed. What they don't realize is that Mike had turned on a cell jammer when he left with the twins, ensuring Bolsa couldn't be warned about the treachery. When the office door opens, Mike, Tyrese and Victor walk in and hold Bolsa at gunpoint. He's taken outside and executed before being buried in the desert. Gus then uses his considerable influence to get a new set of papers drafted for Hector Salamanca. He's admitted to a nursing home outside Albuquerque, under a false name and without his signature bell. Gus continues to visit him from time to time, keeping his pet "coati" alive for as long as possible. In Mexico, the Federales, under pressure from the US government, are forced to eliminate a high-value target within the cartels. Unable to find Don Bolsa (who's buried in the New Mexico desert), the Federales are forced to raid the Eladio Villa. Don Eladio calls up Gus accusing him of setting up the Salamancas, as they wouldn't have been so foolish as to attack the DEA so openly. Gus claims it must have been Don Bolsa's decision to satisfy Don Hector. As Don Eladio is screaming into his phone, vowing revenge, the Federales raid the Eladio Villa and gun down Don Eladio and his men. With the board clear, Gus approaches Gale to be his fulltime cook in his Super Lab. The product is sufficient, possessing the Heisenberg Blue, but Gale insists they bring in whoever worked on the original product to get it closer to the 99.1% purity that Walter White achieved.
I feel like mike would not have just sat in his car, he would have definitely orchestrated a different plan with Gus in which innocent civilians were out of danger like kidnapping them or something similar.
My God, even in what seemed to be the most idealistic ending, Walt's actions still completely ruined his family and made his efforts to provide for them moot. This was when he wasn't even that all that bad yet. He should've never went into the drug business.
What if Tomas never got involved with the drug dealers in the first place, and therefore didn't kill Combo? So many key events in the show hinged on that, it's crazy. Big fan of these videos btw, I’d binge watch a full tv series of these
@murgeproductions True. But he wouldn't just allow this either. He might try and get other DEA agents involved to prevent the deaths of Marie, Skyler, Walter Jr and Holly. Or atleast do something to stop the Salamancas and stall them.
I'm glad you gave Jane that indefinable sense of 'One and Done; Get out Now'. Somebody has questions? You're gonna hafta go to New Zealand to ask them...
Something I’ve noticed is that Walter and Hank are never the lone survivors, it’s always the rest or a combination of the rest, which sort of makes sense, but I wonder what scenario would have to happen if one of them were the lone survivors
Honestly, I doubt Gus would allow Walter's family to get killed. He would just tell the Salamancas and Bolsa that Walter White is dead, so go take your revenge on Hank instead. And since Hank has his gun and Gomez with him, they'd both be able to kill the twins. So realistically, Hank and the family wouldn't die. Mike would definitely have a problem with Gus ordering him to have an entire family slaughtered who aren't in the game
What if Gus' partner, Max, wasn't killed by the cartel? I'd love to see a take on Fring where he's not this hardened, stone-faced cartel member that we've known him to be. Would he be less calculated? Sloppier in his plans? He wouldn't have a vendetta against the Salamancas so what would his primary motive be? Growing his meth business? Sure, it would be harder to predict his story, but I'd love to imagine a take on a more soft-hearted Gustavo Fring!
So I don’t know how exactly you could do it, but maybe a What IF about if Jessie’s little brother was more involved in the story. Like after he was caught with the joint by Jessie, maybe his parents find out later and force him out of the house with the rehab and everything else they’d put him through? Like he runs away to stay with Jessie…? Maybe around the time he’s sobered up would be a good time to start it…?
This one's actually very good. Vince once said that in his original plans tuco would have stayed for longer, and the one that would've died back then would've been jesse

What if the car accident with Marie was actually true. Before Walt calls Saul Hank gets a phone call telling him that Marie is dying at a hospital due to a car accident.
What? Lol
Had Marie actually died nothing important would have changed.
Hank would break bad
@@darkwitness2718nah hank might have become depressed and stopped working on heisenberg, or screwed up so bad he'd have to get fired.
A ton changes. Hank assumes it was a random accident, he doesn't beat up Jesse, and Walter doesn't ask Gus to hire Jesse instead of Gale.
Correction: the blowfish metaphor happened after the spooge arc. The whole point of jesse being a blowfish was that his reputation was a cold blooded killer who crushed a guys head with an ATM even though it was completely false.
Personally, I think Walter did have a perfect death. He killed everyone he searched to destroy, successfully managed to give the remaining 8 million dollars to Walt jr, and even though he did die in the end, I would say he accomplished everything he wanted because at the end, he died to his own hands before the police busted in.
It wasn't really perfect. His family hated him in the end and he had to settle for allowing his family to believe that Elliot and Gretchen gave them the money (which was 11 million, not 8) rather than himself. Plus both his family and Jesse have mental scars that will follow them for the rest of their lives, even Holly who is too young to remember any of it will only ever know her father as a psychotic drug kingpin. The only real good parts about it is
1. The money he left his family was FAR above the 700 thousand goal he set himself in the season 1 finale.
2. He died on his own terms rather than dying sick in a hospital bed.
3. He avenged Hank and saved Jesse from permanent enslavement.
What if Skyler never found out about Walt’s second cellphone in Season 2?
She would have eventually found out abt his business but i think that will happen after walt dies
Second cellphone wasn't the only problem. His disappearance would raise suspicions about him cheating. So Skyler might call Gretchen to find out that Walt never accepted any charity money. Then she would call Walt's mother to find out he never visited her. Then she would tie the dots and realise Walt is a drug dealer
pros: jesse survived
cons: all of walters family fucking dies
More like all of the people in Jesse's personal life.
Love how you turned a video essay into a fanfiction, and a genuinely well written one ngl. The characters feel accurate to the show and you touched on pretty much all sides of the story. Awesome job 👌
Thanks dude. Glade you can appreciate the content
Really loved this. I honestly think Gomez was the most loyal man in the story and I believe Hank and Gomez were the true heroes of the show. Gomez always stood by hank’s side and whenever he needed help, Gomez was always there. He’s a truly admirable character
Big facts
Walt Jr comes out of his room to get some cereal and finds everyone dead
Vince seriously needs to take you on. These are unbelievable in that they’re ridiculously believable.
Thanks my guy!
I feel like "Walt's perfect death" would involve:
1. Him dying in peace surrounded by his family who never found out about his drug empire
2. Manipulating Gus and the Salamancas into killing each other off, and for them to have known that he was the one that defeated them in their final moments.
3. Seeing Hank become a national hero by heroically saving a bunch of innocent people from the crossfire of the Gus-Salamanco battle, also humiliating them in the process and ruining any reputation and legacy that they might have had
4. Finding a way to steal most of their money at the last moment and for Heisenberg to have taken the credit for it, thereby embarrassing the DEA for letting Heisenberg take all the money they meant to bust and failing to discover him as he fled into the sunset as a sort of mythic criminal legend (passing this money to his family who think that it was incredibly sound secret investments)
5. Seeing Jesse leave with his girl and having Jesse thank him for changing his life, before Jesse sets off into his life as a wealthy business owner of a growing pharmaceutical company thanks to the knowledge that Walt passed to him
Walt "did it for himself," but he still wanted those he cared about to prosper. He wanted Heisenberg to be seen as the unstoppable legend that Walter White never could be, but he also wanted his wife and son to never worry about money again, he wanted Hank to get to win in his own way (as long as it never hurt Heisenberg's legacy), he wanted to destroy and humiliate those who supposedly towered over him in the criminal underworld, and he wanted the snot-nosed kid Jesse to look up to him and see a genuine hero and to blame all his good fortune on Walt. He wanted to die knowing that he had been exceptional in every aspect of his life. An probably not with his family being murdered.
The only unbelievable part of this story is Mike willingly letting Gus plan to murder innocent people, including an infant. If he had issues about Gus threatening Nacho's dad, then theres no way he'd agree with Gus allowing a baby to die
What would a best possible ending for Jesse and Walter where they don’t end up hating each other and keep the “father-son” type bond
I think they had that in the “Mike killed Tuco” ending, among a couple others.
Jesse and Walt continue to cook for Gus, Walter is far less unpredictable because even if he is working under someone else like Gus, he recognizes his value without flaunting it towards Gus. He knows he is *the* Cook. And Jesse once his worst student is now the pupil he's taught more than anyone else. Gus is able to complete his revenge on the Salamancas and since Walter never gave Gus any reason to think about replacing Jesse with Gale, Walter never receives "Leaves of Grass" and Hank is never alerted to the connection between Walter and Heisenberg. Because Walter isn't trying to get Jesse to turn against and help him kill Gus, Walter never poisons Brock. Jesse continues to see Andrea and Brock while helping Walt cook for Gus, he works closely with Mike at times and they're both generally treated with respect by their superiors.
This turned out DARK veeery quick
Man, you didn't have to get Walter's family killed
It wasn’t me it was the Salamancas
@@murgeproductionswe all know you are the head of the salamanca family. Don't lie to us
All I’m saying, is i said it from the beginning that the Salamancas were coming…
Man those salamancas are Loco espeschally Lalo who is probaly the smartest considering he almost ended gus and his empire
This definitely needs a follow up, Mike wouldn’t just let gus off after he got a newborn baby and an innocent family killed, hell I doubt he’d even go through with it at all, it’d be cool to see some sort of lone wolf Mike breaking off his agreement with gus over this and instead of the Walter vs gus battle it’s Gus vs Mike
He would kill his and destroy his operation for this stuff.
If this gets a part 2 you have to talk about how Mike's bittersweetness would definitely have him overtake Gus and probably kill him because he is using innocent people as pawns in his plans and he doesn't care if they get killed
I dont really find this as the perfect ending for Walt but it did intrigue me. Heres some suggestions: What if Hank never found out?, what if Jesse had never found out about the ricin, and what if Skyler supported walt?
Walt described this as his perfect death back in the fly episode, he made enough money to sustain his family, his daughter was born and business was concluded with Jesse at that point while he was holding his daughter he probably felt the most at peace in his entire lofe
What if during the knife fight, Holly White tackled Walt to the ground instead of Walter Jr, and he instead abducts Walt Jr by carrying him to his van while Skyler scream after him?
I have a really hard time thinking Mike would allow 2 innocent women, a crippled teenager and a newborn baby die to the Salamancas. I imagine he would quietly come up behind them as they entered the house and shoot to kill. Aim for the back of one of their heads, and as the other turns, he's already shooting his second shot.
I can't explain it but this feels like if breaking bad was condensed into a season of better call saul. Obviously the ending of BCS would have to be heavily rewritten but its a cool concept to heavily cut down breaking bad but still have it feel complete. Possibly my favorite video you've made yet.
Thank you thank you
What if Walt Jr. got cancer instead of Walt?
I wonder if walt would start cooking just to pay for his sons treatment. Prob would just accept Grechen and elliots offer tho
I doubt it. He'd be just as bitter in that timeline as he is in this one
What if Ted got cancer
Flynnberg
Breaking Fast
I got 2 suggestions, what if Saul did show up to clean up Jane death, and Mike didn't exist & What if Breaking Bad and The Sopranos exist in the same universe and cross paths causing a Tony vs Walt battle
I kinda hoped that Hank would beat the twins just barely as he did in the show, with Walter's money that Saul promised paying for his medical bills, as hank goes full blown detective to uncover Gus, and eventually find out that Walter was the one who got his whole family killed for basically nothing.
I like this ending because it has the most consequences for Walt. Not only did he get his family killed but the whole world knows Walt was responsible
What if Walter white never got shot at the end of breaking bad by the automatic gun
What if Gus had Tyrus kill Hector in the nursing home instead?
Oof thats interesting
It would never happen.
Although Gus is an evil genius who usually places logical judgement above emotion, he is simply too emotionally driven to let Tyrus take care of it himself.
Due to Gus’s determination in avenging his best friend/lover Max, sending Tyrus would be out of character for him. Interesting idea, though!
@@theanimatedcomedian726I agree with you on all counts. Just intriguing to think what would come.
@@theanimatedcomedian726 unless he suspected a trap and sent him in to check for bombs? Mabye then he gets the bomb taken, qnd then goes in himself. He also knows then that Walter made a bomb.
What if Jesse really DID crush someone’s head with an ATM, even if it was on accident
I can't believe it, a happy ending for Jesse!
I just had an idea. What if hank just got help for his ptsd of the gunfights and el paso. He’d actually get shit done, be happier, and probably still manage to be brutally fucking killed.
Honestly a part two would be interesting, mike after being haunted at the thought of an entire innocent family being sacrificed for frings game, comes to the conclusion that if the whites were expendable and they weren’t even involved, who’s to say Gus won’t do the same to him and more importantly his grandchild. This could eventually lead to mike tracking down a depressed Steve, and possibly Jesse coming back to Albuquerque once news of what happened reaches him. Despite protest from Jane I think Jesse would tell her something along the lines of "Listen this life we’re living right now, none of it would’ve happened without mr white I gotta go back and set things straight". Eventually finding his way to Steve and mike who form a vengeance seeking trio against fring. Jesse could go undercover in frings operation similar to when he was gonna take over cooking is original timeline except this time he’s gales assistant/partner. Mike continues his duties as usual but now being monitored and bugged by Steve and the rest of the DEA. Maybe gus eventually finds out about mikes betrayal and once he sees how vulnerable his operations now are he reluctantly accepts help from the rest of the cartel, starting an all out war between Gus, the dons, hector and the cartel vs mike, Steve, Jesse and the DEA.
I’ve watched some of these and generally they all require a character to go against who they are. The lower scale such as Gus revealing himself to them and jumping to a deal that Jesse handles which would’ve been the opposite of the character. Kinda reinforces how well it was written.
If only Hank was one of those type of cops that was willing to turn a blind eye for family
8:26 not murge slipping in a breakfast joke 😭🤣
Lol you caught that huh? lol
What if Walt used Saul to sue Gray Matter?
Great vid as always btw
That would be cool
@@murgeproductionsradical even
@@murgeproductionsthat's a great idea. Make it happen!
I'm somewhat sad we didn't get to watch it, lol. That's something that would be fun as hell. Doesn't fit with the rest of the show's plot at all, lol, so we never had any chance, but a what if video would be great.
@@murgeproductions I love this idea please do it!
Thats a good one, obviously Walter willingly gave it up so it would take a lot of Saul-ing
Unfortunately, his perfect death isn’t plausible. Walter would’ve never wanted to give up the lifestyle in the moment, dying or not.
I think this story could use a follow-up, the tragedy of the White Family has to be the setup for Gus' Downfall.
I think this would be a better what if, if mike stepped in to help and you explored the ramifications of that happening
What if Walt died from falling off the ledge while trying to catch that fly?
Gus and Mike laughing at the video that would exist 😂😂
The only heisenverse episode ive seen where someone does not say “what happens now?”
These videos are amazing, I love listening to them while working. And visualizing the story playing out. Thank you for all that you make.
Glad you like them! And keep up the grind
6:55 "which completely devastates the entire family"
flynn: 🗿
If you are reading this, I had two very good ideas that could make for an interesting What if!
One. What if Badger screws up the deal with DEA and the Fake Walter?
The civilian who matches heisenberg appearances just leaves as Badger is pushing too hard for him to take the blue meth. The Civilian thinks this is very weird and walks off. Hank gets pissed off, drives over to the bench and grabs Badger into the car. Yelling at him that Heisenberg could obviously tell it was bait and said the deal is off. Fake Heisenberg is sitting across the other bench staring awkardly and decides to just leave when he realizes the plan failed. Jesse and Walter are distraught as they wasted all of that money plus for Jesse, he is worried that Badger will flip. Saul convinced Walter to just order the hit anyway on Badger since now unless he gives actual names, he is going to prison. The hit is carried and Badger is murdered. Hank was following the civilian, looking for any clue that he is Heisenberg. He eventually gives up as he turns out to be a civilian but then returns his attention back to him once he finds out that Badger was killed in prison. This distracts Hank long enough to not focus on other leads for awhile so he might not interact with Jesse like he did originally. Stalking this civilian eventually gets him trouble for harassment and Hank is suspended (But not fired...maybe?). But... killing Bader, this completely breaks off any chance of Jesse and Walt working together. Saul introduces Walter to Gus but this time Wakter is by himself. Gus has a far better first impression without Jesse around. Jesse however is pissed and hates Walt for what happened to Badger, starts selling blue meth on his own. It starts to attract police attention and even Gus attention. Combo still dies and Jesse is on a path of self destruction. Jesse blames Walter for all of it, makes it very clear he will give up Walts name if he is ever arrested as some sort of revenge. Walter at this point, cannot bring himself to kill Jesse so he calls his bluff. However, Saul does not and reports this to Mike, who reports it to Gus, who knows Jesse is selling Walters formula. Thinking Walter is being too soft on this junkie for sentimental reasons, Gus orders a henchman to arrange a drug deal with Jesse and make it seem like it went south resulting in Jesse death. Walter is none the wiser and thinks Jesse was killed by random druggies. This time, Gus and Walter have zero reason to not trust each other or hate each other. They form a much better and respectful relationship. With Gus resources and Walter mind, they form a deadly drug empire. Gus may even be able to stop Walt cancer by giving him the best of the best medical experts to help him. Since Hank is likely not going to be in the same parking lot when when he was fired and thus likely not in his car, he is later killed by the Twins in revenge for Tuco death only this time without either of the Twins getting hurt in process or killed. Maybe Marie is killed as well since she might spend a lot more time with Hank as he is not working now. Gus uses this opportunity to satisfy the Twins rage for now and to also convince Walt to help take down the Salamanca family.
Two. What if Walter swallowed his pride and allowed Hank to believe Gale was Heisenberg? I dont know much what you can do with this besides Hank going off the case and Walter not having to worry about Gus wanting to kill him since Hank will assume Heisenberg formula was learned and thats why he was capped. Could make situation more unique but I still think Gus wants Walter dead/gone and Jesse to replace him.
Dude really good ideas, bro and I may actually use this, more sooner than later. Good work
@@murgeproductions Thank you! I been watching your videos and ideas just came pouring into me as well. Keep up the great work! I cannot wait to see it! Btw is there a way I can join your discord server? The older link expired sadly. Also I made a mistake lol, Badger was supposed to ask for the blue meth and then gives Fake Heisenberg the money xD
I thought more on "What if Walt swallowed his pride and allowed Hank to believe Gale was Heisenberg". I think it will end up similar to "What if Mike Was Around During The End of Season 4?" except that now that Walt has money, Hanks death is prevented and is spending more time with his family, it calms him down enough to not sabatoge Gus and getting him killed. Walt has no burning hatred for Gus/Mike/Jesse due to Hanks death not happening. He cant return as Heisenberg as now the entire criminal underworld believes he is dead so despite the urge to return after seeing Jesse/Gus take credit for his blue meth, he lets it go. I think Jesse might go to back to make peace with Walter after some time passes as he knows Walt is going to die soon. Wither Walt accepts it or not, I dunno. Gus only shows mercy to Walt just keep Jesse around but also because this time, his nerves are not rattled this time since Hank isnt close on his trail.
I really like your ideas and I know I can expand on them, as far as discord goes, it no longer exist. I’ll keep the community on youtube because yeah.
@@murgeproductions Alright no problem! :) Keep up the good work. Oh and in relating "What if Badger screws up the deal with DEA and the Fake Walter?", I forgot to mention that Gus and other criminals, REALLY hate snitches. Plus Mike would likely just encourage him since he was all for Jesse being killed in the actual series as well. Mike may say something like "Yeah, this kid used to be his student in high school so Walt is very likely protective of his students even to this day. Now they may have a lot of history but Walt is going to get himself and by extension, us sabatoged if he calls Jesse bluff. Jesse was with Krazy 8 and Emilio Koyama prior to them forming their little team. So Jesse is fully in the game while Walter just came in so he has no idea how it goes. No half measures Gus. That rat has gotta go."
Mike: so what have we learned here?
Gus: I dunno.
Well, now Joaquin is going to seek revenge on Gomie. The cycle of vengeance never ends
Do What if Walt Didn't Save Jesse from the dealers
You’ve probably gotten this before, but what if marie’s car accident was real? I mean what if walter HIMSELF forced saul to get one of the guys from his black book to set up a car accident. how would that affect hanks reaction to finding out the truth? how would that change what he does to jesse following that event?
Walt, seeing his family at the Pearly Gates: Why tf?
Two ideas: What if Skyler was informed of Walter passing out at the car wash, thus receiving the news about the cancer at the same time as Walter?
And
What if Walter made it to Gale's apartment first?
”We’re gonna have breakfast everyday” that really made me lol. Thanks for the videos, keep it up
Any time! And I knew I’d get people laughing with that line
I've spent the past few weeks binging this same kind of speculative format but with the Sopranos, now it's looking like I can write off the next month or so too. Thanks, man. Great videos
Hope you enjoy it!
Breaking bad what if: everything wrong happend to everyone
Honestly, I think you should do “What if Walt Jr. worked in Los Pollos Hermanos?”.
Think about it, this could lead Flynn closer to the crossfire between Walt and Gus and could potentially lead him into learning about Heisenberg earlier than canon.
What if instead of trying to call the hit off and turning himself in, Walter just sat back and watched Jack’s crew slay Jesse, Hank and Gomie?
What if Hank never found out Walt was Heisenberg?
That was such a beautiful story minus the bit at the end where Walts family dies.
Can’t have the good without the bad
I think this episode needs a part 2 and is called Jesse's revenge. Because, this would be in the news all over the world. Since Jane and Jesse are somewhere but maybe not in America. Jesse would find this horrofying news devastating, and would go back to Alberquerque, and maybe tell the truth about Walt to the D.E.A. And why? Because he knows Steve is the best friend of Hank and seek revenge for Walt's family, working together with the D.E.A. But will Jesse and the D.E.A. find out it was Gus all along? And will they arrest them? That's for you to decide.
Murge trying not to kill Walter's entire family in every video(impossible)
What if Skyler saw the body Jessie was hiding?
I just thought of this when watching the “Your half? There is no your half” clip, so What if Jesse killed Walt in the VR?
Man, I'm loving this series.
I don't see Mike letting the Salamanca Twins go after the White family when the baby is in the house, too.
He clearly wanted to end Todd when he shot the kid in the spur of the moment.
He just wouldn't have been okay with Gus making the family the sacrifice for the Salamanca family.
I imagine the encounter would go much the same way as it had before. Don Bosa, Hector Salamanca and the Twins meet with Gus who details that the man they want revenge on is dead and that he won't condone violence against civilians not involved in the business north of the border. The twist is that he offers them another target: Hank. Don Bolsa denounces it, saying the DEA would crack down on the Eladio Cartel if they brazenly attacked the DEA on US soil. Gus offers a solution: the Salamanca twins can carry out the coup de grace, but the kill has to be just with a gun and the attack will be carried out by Gus's men, cleanly and efficiently. Don Bolsa looks ask Hector if this is to his liking. The old Salamanca appreciates the idea of Gus taking all the risk and the Salamanca's reaping the reward. He answers with a single ding of his bell.
The Face Off: The twins sit in a car tailing Hank while Mike, Tyrese and Victor ride in a blacked-out SUV. Gus remains with Don Bolsa and Hector, so Mike makes the call warning Hank of the impending attack. Mike uses the same voice modulator to disguise his identity as he warns Mike that the Salamancas are tailing him and provides a description of their car in the parking lot. Shocked from his disbelief, Hank warns the other customers to escape out the back entrance as he looks out the front entrance and makes eye contact with the Salamancas. Realizing they've been spotted, the Salamancas look over to the Mike's blacked out SUV. Mike rolls down the window, revs the engine and gives the twins a nod as if he'll back them up. Emboldened, the twins gun their engine and ram the video rental store. Meanwhile, Mike pulls away at a leisurely pace, leaving the Salamanca twins and Hank to their shootout.
Hank manages to kill Marco in the passenger seat as soon as the car smashes through the entrance of the store. Leonel ducks out of his door and attempts to shoot at Hank from behind the hood of the smashed car. Hank moves through the store, using the shelves for concealment and the aisles as firing lanes as he and Leonel hunt each other. Leonel, realizing Gus's men have abandoned him, pulls out his phone to warn Don Bolsa, but is distracted when the call fails to connect and is gunned down by Hank.
Meanwhile, Don Bolsa and Hector wait in the office with Gus, anticipating a call to Bolsa's cellphone to inform him the kill was completed. What they don't realize is that Mike had turned on a cell jammer when he left with the twins, ensuring Bolsa couldn't be warned about the treachery. When the office door opens, Mike, Tyrese and Victor walk in and hold Bolsa at gunpoint. He's taken outside and executed before being buried in the desert. Gus then uses his considerable influence to get a new set of papers drafted for Hector Salamanca. He's admitted to a nursing home outside Albuquerque, under a false name and without his signature bell. Gus continues to visit him from time to time, keeping his pet "coati" alive for as long as possible.
In Mexico, the Federales, under pressure from the US government, are forced to eliminate a high-value target within the cartels. Unable to find Don Bolsa (who's buried in the New Mexico desert), the Federales are forced to raid the Eladio Villa.
Don Eladio calls up Gus accusing him of setting up the Salamancas, as they wouldn't have been so foolish as to attack the DEA so openly. Gus claims it must have been Don Bolsa's decision to satisfy Don Hector. As Don Eladio is screaming into his phone, vowing revenge, the Federales raid the Eladio Villa and gun down Don Eladio and his men.
With the board clear, Gus approaches Gale to be his fulltime cook in his Super Lab. The product is sufficient, possessing the Heisenberg Blue, but Gale insists they bring in whoever worked on the original product to get it closer to the 99.1% purity that Walter White achieved.
I feel like Jesse would give each of his friends 25,000 after making his money as a separation package and thank you
Similarly to this video, what if Walt hadn't had the Lily of the Valley plan, and had simply accepted his death at the hands of Gus's men?
What if walter escaped instead. Maybe taking jesse with him, maybe leaving him
@@arcaderdude if i was w.w i would accept tucos offer and go marry some big booty latina
@@windowswastakenFRFR
Mike would never agree to that plan dawg 😭
I feel like mike would not have just sat in his car, he would have definitely orchestrated a different plan with Gus in which innocent civilians were out of danger like kidnapping them or something similar.
My God, even in what seemed to be the most idealistic ending, Walt's actions still completely ruined his family and made his efforts to provide for them moot. This was when he wasn't even that all that bad yet. He should've never went into the drug business.
Hasn’t even started, and I can already tell this is gonna be great
I forgot I was watching a "what if..." video
at 3:40 I was like "that's not how it happened" lmao
What if Tomas never got involved with the drug dealers in the first place, and therefore didn't kill Combo? So many key events in the show hinged on that, it's crazy. Big fan of these videos btw, I’d binge watch a full tv series of these
"The Heisen-verse"
Genius.
I really don't think Mike would've allowed the collateral damage in this episode. He is known to despise the death of innocents.
Maybe but he’s not calling the shots gus is and he has nothing to gain by intervening
@murgeproductions True. But he wouldn't just allow this either. He might try and get other DEA agents involved to prevent the deaths of Marie, Skyler, Walter Jr and Holly. Or atleast do something to stop the Salamancas and stall them.
I'm glad you gave Jane that indefinable sense of 'One and Done; Get out Now'. Somebody has questions? You're gonna hafta go to New Zealand to ask them...
11:06 this is a great interaction between Jesse and Walt ,I love it!
Something I’ve noticed is that Walter and Hank are never the lone survivors, it’s always the rest or a combination of the rest, which sort of makes sense, but I wonder what scenario would have to happen if one of them were the lone survivors
What if Mike hired Saul to launder his money in season 5 instead of the other lawyer?
Honestly, I doubt Gus would allow Walter's family to get killed. He would just tell the Salamancas and Bolsa that Walter White is dead, so go take your revenge on Hank instead. And since Hank has his gun and Gomez with him, they'd both be able to kill the twins. So realistically, Hank and the family wouldn't die. Mike would definitely have a problem with Gus ordering him to have an entire family slaughtered who aren't in the game
8:27 LET'S GOOOOO
What if Mike and Jessie killed or tried to kill Walter in the desert after they tried convincing Walt to sell all the methylene
What if Gus' partner, Max, wasn't killed by the cartel? I'd love to see a take on Fring where he's not this hardened, stone-faced cartel member that we've known him to be. Would he be less calculated? Sloppier in his plans? He wouldn't have a vendetta against the Salamancas so what would his primary motive be? Growing his meth business? Sure, it would be harder to predict his story, but I'd love to imagine a take on a more soft-hearted Gustavo Fring!
Gus is playing 4D chess
what if walter white had lung cancer?
Man doesn’t kill Jessie for once and kills everyone else instead
I had an idea for what if Jesse succeed in burning Walt’s house down
I second this.
Well, you have your wish granted
@@RickyG_RailTX I’m actually the one that suggested it from the Patreon lol
@@Sisyphus080 Nice nice.
I feel like Gus would have just gave them the blessing to kill hank alone and the twins would probably die like in the show.
What if Hank was given a 5 minute heads up before the Salamanca twins were coming?
What if Jesse stopped working with Walter after he got beat up by hank
So I don’t know how exactly you could do it, but maybe a What IF about if Jessie’s little brother was more involved in the story. Like after he was caught with the joint by Jessie, maybe his parents find out later and force him out of the house with the rehab and everything else they’d put him through? Like he runs away to stay with Jessie…? Maybe around the time he’s sobered up would be a good time to start it…?
I'm not going to give up on this one, what if Tuco didn't kill no-doze? That caused the fear of Walt and Jesse and that the DEA tracked him down.
This one's actually very good. Vince once said that in his original plans tuco would have stayed for longer, and the one that would've died back then would've been jesse
”We’re gonna have breakfast everyday” 😂 8:26
