This is one of the best Breaking bad videos I've ever seen. It says a lot that this show can still be talked about 10+ years on and people like you can come along and make analysis videos like this.
I love how he literally has maps and is explaining everything to the level of detail that you would for a high quality documentary of real events! How many shows currently on TV have a developed enough plot that you are able to do this, seriously
@@pro-socialsociopath769The only ones that come to mind for me personally are Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. But those span across different mediums (media?) and have much bigger scopes, to be fair.
J Wisdom is one of my favorite channels overall on RUclips. Love his way of presenting things, has a great voice for these types of videos, and overall they're top tier.
@@mikeexitsand LTR has effectively added to the Western European mythos despite being quite modern, historically. And the Star Wars universe was developed in conversations between Lucas & Joseph Campbell, the late 🐐 of European mythology studies, & was constructed to mirror our own legends & I think he hoped it would become one. For a contemporary TV show simply developed for the fall season to hit so high & resonate so deeply is incredible!
Something I really love about Better Call Saul is that it didn’t just bring back character from Breaking Bad for a cheap cameo, they enriched the characters by giving them deeper backstories. Gustavo was a great example of this
Man, Gus was downright scary. Like, horror movie scary. He looked and acted just like an ordinary friendly civilized man when, in fact, he was a dangerous, calculating, cold-blooded murderer. He'd shake your hand with one hand and slit your throat with the other. His subtlety is what made him so terrifying. At least Tuco would look you in the eye and tell you he's gonna kill you, but with Gus, you won't see it coming.
The editing in this is fkn superb. I really love this format. You totally nailed it. Literally one of the best Breaking Bad character analysis videos I've ever seen.
Machiavelli never actually said you can't be feared and loved. He just said if you had to pick one or the other you pick feared. But you also never want to be hated. It's better to be loved than hated
My favorite quote of that guy, paraphrased, goes something like "Should we feel bad about using dishonest, immoral, and even bad tactics against our enemies and opponents? The answer is, if men were good and just, it would be morally wrong to use bad tactics against good and righteous men. But men are not good, they are bad, and since men are bad, and do not do right unless they are forced to, and at all other times they do wrong, we should have no hesitation treating bad people with bad tactics."
I very rarely leave comments on videos. However, this was so well done that I have to give praise to you for how good this is. Extremely high quality, informative and very well put together. Subscribed.
In BCS I actually saw great representation of ocd. When Lalo is after Gus, Gus was found by Mike scrubbing the bathtub/ shower. When he was stressed he felt the need to clean stuff
Some villains believe that revenge is a dish best served cold. Gustavo Fring believes that revenge is a dish best served rancid after sitting forgotten in the back of the fridge for weeks.
That's not really a theory is it? He literally says the only reason he is alive is because he knows who Gus is but he isn't in Chile anymore. Hector also referred to him as generallismo (idk the right spelling)
Your editing is TOP TIER. You have a real talent for this, man. Well done, thanks for the entertaining video - you make these people seem like real historical figures!
This may be a strange comparison, but Gus always reminded me a bit of Hannibal Lecter. Especially in his mannerisms: an obsession with excellence and dignified presentation (right down to the nervous tie adjustment), the love and appreciation for food, the traumatic childhood in which both characters starved (albeit in very different ways), and habit of constantly surrounding themselves with people who adore them and thoroughly trust them while committing constant acts of evil just out of sight of their party guests. They’re both socially beloved and intellectually praised puppet masters who love food and well tailored suits, but with a shared hatred of rude and sloppy people. The two main differences are that Gus isn’t a cannibal, and Hannibal Lecter was born into generational wealth while Gus was born into poverty and became wealthy on his own.
i've seen some pretty lazy videos on psychoanalyzing TV characters with pop psych in the past, but the reasoning, presentation and editing of this video are really impressive. great work, hope more people find your channel.
This is probably the best examination video about breaking bad I've seen yet. Your thoughts on Gus's unique personality really got me thinking, and a lot of details i missed in Better Call Saul are making more sense to me now. Great work, definitely going to watch more on your channel.
@@ΣτέφανοςΔημόπουλος-η7τThat's why Nacho deserved to die? He tried to steal money from people who stole millions from taxpayers. And he stole pills from a guy who stole pills from work. He basically tried to steal from other criminals. And Saul and Mike stole the money from the Kettelmans, do they deserve to die
I appreciate your work my brother.These videos does take time .Thank you for making these videos brother ❤(can you please create on narcos brother next time I will be very thankful for that )
The scariest part is having observe sadism in the actions of kids when I was younger. Then knowing that these kids turning into adults will learn how to cover up their sadistic tendencies. Sadism is also embedded deep within most, if not all of us, and there are moments when it rears its ugly head. Even if it is just in our minds.
Well I’m sold, I desperately need to revisit this show and watch El Camino. This was an excellent video and an amazing dive into the personality of Gus.
I would not describe Gus as pure evil. He was just a ruthless criminal who was willing to do what he needed to succeed. I would only reserve "pure evil" to describe villains who inflict pain and death for no other reason than personal pleasure. Serial killers for example: they are pure evil.
Gus was extremely calculating and the only thing that got him killed was his ego and I believe to be pride in winning his battles. His number one battle being against Hector Salamanca and the second priority to that being Walter White.
27:39 Gus also killed him because he went on his own accord to cook a batch. The story of Icarus was brought up in that episode, he flew too close to the sun so Gus took him out.
This video reminds me a lot of Lemino videos and I love it! Lemino makes videos on real life events but to get videos of that quality on my favorite shows is amazing!
It’s time for you to move on to bigger and better things, this video is amazing like something I’d see in a Netflix documentary I’d pay the subscription just to watch ur stuff
Greetings from Germany! Thank you for your well made explanation of Gus Fring. Gustavo Fring is - in my option - the best villain ever created for the TV screen.
Great video. Love your breakdown. Gus is probably the greatest TV villain I've ever seen. Highly intelligent, self-controlled and utterly ruthless while being simultaneously despicable and fascinating.
I appreciate this video so much. I am watching Breaking Bad for the first time ever now and that is so helpful to understand the plot. I've always been a little slow with such complicated intrigues ;)
To quote someone else (not exact) "I wish I had been in the writer's room the day they figured out how to kill off Gus while still maintaining his character and threat, and not dumbing him down"
I will always remember how in the scene where Gus kills Victor, Mike recoils when Gus slits Victor’s throat, even raising his gun. It shows how Gus can be unpredictable to those who know him.
If he were a real person he would have been close with the Krasnovs. With their power they could make him disappear- then reappear as " Gus ". Easy peasy.
Gus came from nothing and defeated the cartel. His cold, calculating, ruthless discipline and attention to detail enabled him to accomplish more than the volatile genius Walter ever could have.
Gus Fring is textbook perfect example of a high functioning, factor 1 psychopath. Tuco is a perfect example of a reactive/impulsive factor 2 psychopath. Really some genius work all of the way around.
dude this is serious stuff. I love this channel to the bottom of my heart, i have been able to understand characters at such a deep level that its really interesting. Please keep making vids like this. A suggestion: the dark psychology of some of the ufc fighters like Jon jones, sean strickland, or a more detailed psychology of conor mcgregor mentally beating his opponents.
There are times I wonder if Gus had been more forthcoming about his plans to take revenge against the cartel for what they did to him and Max, would he and Walt been less paranoid towards each other? When Jessie learned the truth and saw the plan come to fruition, he came around to Gus and Mike (who also came to trust Gus as well).
Your content is great, I love how in depth you go into the psyche. I wanted to say BTK was caught because he sent a floppy disk to a paper or the police… after asking them if he could be traced and they lied and told him no. Further developments in DNS profiling was able to connect him to other murders.
I Can Relate To Gustavo Fring character but the way you broke it down really gives me a Newer perspective of The Man The Myth The Legend only things is didn't realize he was gay outside of that DOPE character
Great work on this clip bro, i am sure it takes a lot of time to make them but your dedication can be seen within every clip. (If you don't mind could next make the Dark phsycology of Lalo Salamanca or maybe Hector cuz I would be verry gratefull for that)
At the end of the day, the only person who could destroy Gus was himself. That's what makes him one of the best antagonists to ever be created.

Totally agree. Saul, Mike and Gus had the best back stories. But even smaller characters like Tuco amd Hector were handled very well
Man, Gus was downright scary. Like, horror movie scary. He looked and acted just like an ordinary friendly civilized man when, in fact, he was a dangerous, calculating, cold-blooded murderer.

No, not loved- respected.
Be feared if you cannot be respected. Love is not even a factor.
@@tatianalyulkin410 it can be an interpretation, but the quote does say "love".
For revenge to be successful, it must be concealed, stealthy, and most of all, patient. Patience and vengeance wins.
he also likely never thought anything was enough, as everything had to be perfect for him due to his ocd
But the flaw is that revenge can only really work of the revengee knows who did it and why. That potentially exposes the revenger.

There's the theory that Don Eladio did NOT kill Fring because he had recognized that Fring had been a high level member of the military in Chile
That's not really a theory is it? He literally says the only reason he is alive is because he knows who Gus is but he isn't in Chile anymore. Hector also referred to him as generallismo (idk the right spelling)
