Man, to be able to manipulate someone like Mike you have to be a genius. Shows how great Gus was at understanding people. He just knows the right strings to pull.
Manipulation is not mutual. Gus has his tricks, but Mike knows this. He knows what Gus wants, but he also knows what he himself wants. Gus most likely was being honest here, and through honesty the manipulation existed. If Mike was really okay with not pursuing the Salamancas, the very last person he would be working with is Gus. He hates that he'll have to cooperate with Gus in this mission but feels he must. He can't let this go, so for the time being he'll be an ally
Youre not reading the scene right at all, for once gus is speaking his absolute truth. He wants revenge, he needs a soldier and he believes mike understands the need for revenge all too well, so he asks straight up. He also believes he is genuinely different and better than the other drug barons. He was honest and asked because he knew he couldnt manipulate mike. He knew the truth was more effective, already showing he is different. No threats, no promises. Just plain and simple. Mike realising this and knowing he profits from it too, agrees.
Gus was different tho, look at all the salamancas, they're crazy and they enjoy asserting dominance and terrorising people, look at tuco, lalo, hector, the twins, all of them go over the board in the violence department.. Tuco literally killed his own friend and didn't give a sht about it.. Lalo did the same with a couple that he knew and who trusted him as friends.. they're killers without purpose. Gus is different, he didn't kill anyone if it wasn't strictly necessary.. everyone that was killed by Gus or his subordinates, died for a reason, he doesn't enjoy killing random people like the salamancas do, Lalo also said that Tuco would have skinned the 2 skaters alive if it weren't for Saul there.. the way Gus used nacho doesn't compare to what the salamancas do on the daily basis

Given a choice if i had to choose between working for Gus or any Salamanca i'm choosing Gus because at least i know that as long as i do my job right and keep my mouth shut that chances are i'll be able to come home to my family that night. And if i do make a mistake that he's at least capable of listening to reason,but with the Salamanca's you just don't know. any one of them might just decide to kill you just because the wind is blowing wrong.
@@alonnie1919and then Mike didn’t physical kill or take revenge on any of the Salamanca’s that threatened his family. Mike accepting Gus’ offer was the worst decision he’s made. 😮💨
Mike changed a lot from BCS to BB. In BCS you had Mike feeling bad for himself and his actions when Hector killed a random bystander and buried him in the desert, Mike actually went to find his body and report it to police and quit working for Gus because he had to kill German guy. But in BB he witnesses a Boy being killed in front of him and he shrugs it off and doesn't take any further action
To be fair, I don’t think Mike was exactly comfortable with that boy being killed either. It might’ve not been as noticeable as how Mike felt in Better Call Saul, but Mike’s tone of voice sounded almost reluctant while talking to Jesse about voting option 3, surrounding keeping Todd employed. Plus, Mike threatening Todd afterwards. Mike might’ve outwardly justified it to Todd as bringing a gun to the job without telling him, but I think it was also partly because he shared Jesse’s opinion on Todd as well, and what Todd did. It’s more than likely Mike voting option 3 was purely a “keep your friends close, but your enemies closer” kind of approach, knowing Todd’s “connections.”
Plus Mike was literally seconds away from shooting Walter in the face for no good reason and only had to stop due to the realization that Gale was about to die.
There are few more idiotic thoughts. Revenge is a social institution that even exists among animals. It's directed at collective survival, exterminating the inside or outside threats.
Gus always plays on families, even if it's not always apparent. -Gets Walt by playing on his egotistical need to be the breadwinner of his family -Gets Mike by playing on the revenge Mike Commited to avenge his son and Mike's need to launder money for his family -Murders all the Salamanca as a way to get back at Tio, knowing how much he cares about his family
Ehhh not sadistic. Tio was sadistic, deriving pleasure purely from watching others suffer. Gus is vindictive and cold. He never took pleasure from what he did, even when killing Don Eladio he never showed any signs of fulfillment. It was simply something he believed had to be done to avenge his lover. Same with anyone he killed in this series, it was always a means to an end. He never derived pleasure, but never derived guilt from it either. It was simply part of the job to him.
Gus literally hit him with “even if the satisfaction isn’t enough I’ll give you whatever the fuck you want.” Rarely did we ever see gus so god damn desperate, and he still didn’t behaviorally break
Gus didn't give Mike "whatever he wants": in Breaking Bad, when Walt tails Mike to the bar, he offers to pay for their drinks and Mike says "yeah why not, you make way more than I do", even though Gus and Mike had a perfect work relationship in that moment while Walt didn't.
They really need to do a whole series on Mike, his past as a cop, his corrupt cop son, and how he got to that parking lot to met saul. I think it could be a great show.
I mean, out of all the major league drug dealers I've seen he is the most respectful and and his hospitality/accomodations were a nice gesture. As long as you didn't attempt to stab him in the back or mess with his buisness and could act in a professional manner, he was a decent drug dealer as far as crime goes.
"Yeah, that's revenge. It'll get you out of bed in the morning, and when you get it it feels GREAT....for about five minutes." - Dean Winchester, Supernatural
What kinda annoys me is the fact that Mike still stuck by Gus even though he has proven multiple times that he is not at all different. Taking Nacho's father hostage,forcing Nacho to die,killing Victor,etc.
I can definitely see that, but the thing is after this episode, Mike basically resigns himself to the criminal life. In his words to Kaylee “I just decided to play the cards I was dealt.” That’s why he decides to stick with Gus throughout the rest of the franchise because, by this point in the story and ESPECIALLY come BrBa, he’s basically been beaten into hopeless submission by life and the world and believes that there’s nothing else left for him.
I'd also argue that even if the end results are the same, from Mike's perspective it would seem different. Gus justified everything he did so logically and carefully that it was easy for Mike to justify it.
Yeah if Mike had kept working for Gus he would have kept reverse aging until he became a child again, in which moment Gus would have used him as a street dealer and finally wasted him.
*Breaking* *Bad,* *Better* *Call* *Saul* That was the absolute worst decision Mike ever made. His choice didn’t benefit him or his family whatsoever, it significantly made their lives worse. The obvious and *only* person that directly benefited from it was standing in front of him. Regardless, Mike and Gus were no doubt exceptionally fantastic actors/characters. They both did a phenomenal job. 👨🏻🍳🤌🏼
I truly believe And I mean this absolute wholeheartedly. Had Gus finally put Hector out of his misery and killed him and lived. He would focus primarily on Los Pollos Business. He’d still peddle meth but it’d be the clean pure Blue Sky stuff. He wouldn’t be a bad guy as he’s had to fighting his war. But then Walt said “You’re done cause I say you’re done.”
Gus turned Mike's grief for his murdered Son and guilt over killing Werner into controlled aggression. Gus did so by persuading the already spiritually-broken Mike to view his violent anger as self-righteous, vigilante rage to keep the more amoral, civilian-killing criminals in line (like a Cop or...errrm, himself; Gus definitely did his homework on Mike). Using the old "The ends justify the means" sentiment, one shared by Soldiers on the battlefield and, unfortunately, a hypocrisy which many pampered tyrants also share.
