The Dichotomy of Walter White and Gus Fring - A Breaking Bad Video Analysis

Id say that mike was the better walt because he actually succeded at providing for his family, it all would have went well for him if not walts ego

This guy was probably really good in English class

Your video is pointless so i wont waste my time watching it. Walt outsmarted Gus and beat him. That makes Walt superior.

My mans made 2 vids then bounced

I would’ve rather see gus enslave Walt then the nazis enslave Jessie

Gus says," kids will never eat it". I think gus didn't really have children, and that it was a manipulation tactic.

Walter was trying to enter the life of crime, while Gus was trying to leave it. They basically ran into each other while trying to cross the bridge.

does anyone know the music in this video..the tragic or kinda meloncholic music in background

I just today, literally today about 1 hour ago completed the last episode. Holy smokes, we (with my friends) have started watching this since the Oct-2022 and it is today 8th Sep-2023. BB has shared all seasons, be it winter, summer or monsoon we used to watch it on the terrace in the home projector under the open sky. This one is one of my most memorable moments in life 🤟

Can you turn up the music more I couldn’t hear it through your voice

I actually think that Gus is a more "moral" person. Not really, but he atleast just wants things to flow naturally. In Gus's ideal world nobody needs to get injured. While Walt is more of a ticking bomb like Mike said. Willing to do anything to be at the top.

Yeah, Gus had dealers who used kids, but he wanted them to stop to keep the peace between Walt and him. And once he heard that the dealers had killed the kid, he said that he would have dealt with them if Walt hadn't.
I don't think Gus would've allowed that because he values profesionalism. And killing kids is not proffesional.

Gus isn't a better Walter White. Walter is a worse Gus Fring.

Very good video, but the background music was too loud

What’s the song in the background ?

I hope you're doing okay now, I often find myself wondering what old creators are up to nowadays, anyway I no you won't see this buty best wishes to your future.

Walt is a narcissist. Gus is a psychopath.

Everything Walt does is driven by emotion - completely fueled by ego. Everything Gus does is driven by logic - completely void of emotion….like a robot.

Gus was one scary sumbitch. The 'Box Cutter' episode was extremely intense. Those, what, 10 minutes, he was absolutely silent and yet sent that message loud and clear. He reminded me of The Predator, a silent but deadly killer in plain sight. He didn't have to be loud and boisterous to be an evil monster. His calmness got the point across much better.

Song?

After watching BCS and Breaking Bad, Gus may have been a scumbag but he did everything for his goals. Walter did it because of his ego and not wanting help from others. Gus was the hero of both shows.

Correction: Gus did not have children. It was all an elaborate ruse to make Walt feel he's relatable as a family man.

listening to this video helps me sleep, not because it's boring i just find it relaxing

Nah you miss the point. Gus was Jesse. The chemist he was fucking was Walter. That's why he tries to give Walter a shot. You can tell Gus sees his former partner in Walter then sees himself in Jesse.

music is distracting too loud

To loud background music bro

Maybe but Walter got the best of him in the end

Watching Walt turn back and forth from cry baby to BA is sort of annoying.

Envy for those people who hasn't seen breaking bad yet

I really disagree with the take of an "Extravagant home" on Gus' side. The very fact that he was happy with living in such a "normal" home despite his means shows that he has what it takes to go unnoticed in the long term. While the scene with Walter contrasts how he could never be satisfied with that.

This was so well done!
And what an ending.




Bless you.

If Skyler didn't pull that knife.. they could of just escaped and live.

Gus doesn't have any kids, derp. That was all a lie / manipulation.

Good analysis, I can see why you thought of Walt this way, however, I would have to disagree with some points as - Walt is annoyed with Gus...the difference between Walt and Gus is that Gus is a character with no morals, whereas Walt tries to desperately cling to them, while making the decision that is necessary. They are one and the same character, we hate Gus and love Walt in season 4 without realizing that Walt is becoming Gus.
If Walt would've quit cooking after S4, he would've been the hero and majority audience wouldn't have seen any wrongs with his actions, would've justified them as necessary. But...after taking down the biggest drug lord, Walt feels satisfaction and the power. He feels the self actualization that in his mind should've been his all along (which it should've been) because of Gretchen and Elliot. Walt gets sucked in by this feeling, but doesn't want to admit it, is hiding from it until he has to admit it to himself (and Skyler) at the end of the show. Hank said it best - he's the smartest guy in the room at all times, yet he's too stupid to realize his and other's emotions.

Maybe that's why Gus was a more successful leader than Walt. Gus put the the business before everything but Walter put himself before everything

Walter Black

Does gus have kids? Or was it a manipulation strategy to pretend?

@gilbertbrummetwallace

It always seemed odd to me that Gus would have street level dealers working for him. The CEO of international distribution, completely insulated, dealing with nickel and dime bag level dealers?

Chiral!

Amazing 👏

How do you beat someone simply better than you?

You find their weakness(es) and try to exploit them.

You engage in small, fatiguing actions that weaken your opponent to bring them down closer to your level.

You step it up as much as you can.

Seriously, Walter White/Heisenberg is for me the most annoying and hateful character of the series

You really should try to make this a full time gig! You’re as talented as Walter is at making the blue stuff.

Only reason why Gus lost to Walter was cause of Plot armour

Gus lying about his kids. He liked men

Gus didn't have kids he was faking it

Wow! Three million views. That absolutely blows me away. I cannot express how much I appreciate the support I've received from you all - your kindness has been so motivating. Despite the radio silence since posting this video in 2016, I promise to be back soon with more! Stay tuned.
