So well done .

It's kinda poetic. When you watch the show back, you wonder if tis entire thing is a parallel. That the whole show is just Walt exploding a bunch of pent up "shut ups," just like Skylar.

Skylar's special move is making a huge uncomfortable scene until the other person lets her have her way. She does it with the jewelry store, the locksmith, here and once more later on. I respect it. Here she's more just actually losing her shit, but it still qualifies.

It was one of the most satisfying moments in the _BB_ universe. Just messed up that it came as the result of a mental breakdown. However, she told Marie what I've been waiting for someone to tell her since S1E1 😂🤣😭💀

That was the best shutup in screen history 😂

..theyre in denial that walt is and has been handling business.. walt acts just as manipulative as gus was when he was in charge, their selective memories regarding gus and skyler too is hysterical..

@@StayFractalesque Walt has been fumbling his way through every event. He is unable to not shoot himself in the foot but because he is smart enough he is able to at least somewhat competently plug the wound most of the time.

@@Darthrad52 What you call “fumbling” can more accurately be described as incredible impromptu problem solving skills. Walt, with a few occasional exceptions, acts logically and intelligently, more so than any other character and the two people reacting to him. Those exceptions are never related to his lack of intelligence or common sense like the reactors would have you believe, constantly referring to him as stupid or ignorant but due to his ego or pride; an example being getting drunk at dinner and discouraging Hank’s belief that Gale was Heisenberg. All that being said, since it has to be spelled out to so many of you who are incapable of consuming media splayed out before you; I’m not saying Walt is a wholly good guy or maybe you can argue he’s complete evil but you cannot call him unintelligent, stupid, or fumbling.

And this is for future Maple. Walt only came up with the tent cook idea. It was Saul who vetted Todd. Guaranteed you're gonna hear, "Walt is responsible for these guys" in future reactions.

​@@Darthrad52You forget that he did all of this in literally 2 years right?

right, I've heard that somewhere before. Kind of funny looking dude 😆

ugh, fckin Todd....

I think the first time I heard Meth Damon was when he was in that movie, "Game Night." Perfect casting, tbh.

For real. Very helpful.

Good guy Tod!

Great with kids. Probably.

Real go getter.

@@Sig509 Even better with single mothers I hear

These girls forget anything that doesn't fit their narrative

@@beefwrap the Walt fans are very protective of Walt 😂

He saved Jesse's life because in a sociopath or BPD mind they see people close to them as an extension of themselves, they are almost like possessions. If anyone hurts their family or friends they may see that as an attack on themselves.

These girls hate their fathers & they will never forgive Walt for that.

He wouldn't have had to save Jesse if he had just helped him in the first place. Walt could've helped Jesse poison the guys who killed Combo and they probably would've gotten away with it without Gus suspecting they had anything to do with it. Instead he tattles to Daddy Gus and gets them both in hot water. Dumb move. Walt should've either helped Jesse or let him fuck around and find out on his own.

Ugh... Your Pic got me

It's not real life bro 😂

​@@Gecko....I'm sure they know that

@@Gecko.... No way ? really ?

@@Gecko.... No way, seriously?

@@Gecko.... Also, I've seen you comment about other shows in similar fashion 😂

..and Skyler didnt.. cheating is cheating, although of course, its always the mans fault when she does it..

Yeah, it's kinda wild they see it as Walt is framing her as the "bad guy" for having the affair. Like bro, she DID.

@@StayFractalesque She made it clear to him before that that they were already separated, as in broken up, in no uncertain terms. I don't want to hear y'all incels call that "cheating" ever again.

​​@@elbruceslmao incel is when you don't approve of cheating as revenge

@@elbruces She was married to him for 20 yrs, and then cheated like it was nothing. He put the money on the floor, told her why he did it, all the benefits, and securities that it would bring them, and she was like you're my worst enemy and I'm going to spread my legs for Ted. I don't like Walt, but she did everything she could to bring out the worst in him.

Yes, Walt has had sooooo many ways out but he wouldn't be on top if he did.

so sad for his character. he had talent and spends all his time on meth

They're blinded by their emotions, then they get stuck in the 'hate-box' forever because they're not the type to see or admit their mistakes, so instead of taking advice, they double-down on their vitriol. Its sad to see. Its people thinking with their emotions and then having the hubris to read the critques and see all the thumbs-down and still continue down their goofy path of emotional hatred. This is one of the worst BB reaction channels IMO and I only come back here hoping they dial back their style. These two get more thumbs-downs in one episode than most BB reactors get for the whole series.

​@@TrevortonOffroadomg but why are you so pressed, my guy? 😂

@@jema.flores define "pressed".

This is where skyler turned into shut up marie

That was when she recommended attitude adjustment for Bogdan.

This is pretty much when Huell turned into reasonable

Walt's cancer rules out the Gus path as an option, the man is on the clock. Also, he and Gus had very different motives. Gus is motivated by revenge and needed to build an empire capable of taking on the cartel. Walt is clearly in the game for the love of the game, and the spoils of victory might as well just be points on a scoreboard. He just wants to play and win. The man is having the time of his life. He's not challenging Mike on paying off his network because he's clueless, he's challenging him because it's the first time in his life he's had the confidence to flex on people, and he can't get enough of it. Sure, that's silly, but for a guy who spent 5 full decades as a doormat the appeal of it should be obvious. Also, it's very likely he's feeling Mike out for his openness to the much cheaper Lydia method of dealing with the guys on Gus's payroll. And it does make sense for him to put Mike in a position of running actions through him first, even if he's going to eventually defer to Mike's judgment. It forces Mike to explain the situation and his reasoning for why this is the best option available. Mike is a smart and competent guy, but he's not the word of god. If he were that much smarter than Walt, he wouldn't be in the position he is now of working for him against his own better judgement.

Walt's major self-owns are usually not from his criminal scheming, but from his attempts to protect Hank and Jesse. If he were cold-blooded enough to let Gus kill either of them, Walt is walking on sunshine from season 3 onward. Even more so if he had given up on his marriage and started living separately from the family. He could work for Gus possibly indefinitely, the DEA without Hank would be completely clueless, Gus would take care of the Salamanca family as he did, and Walt gets richer than the Gretchen and Elliot. Maybe he could get something going with Lydia. Skyler obviously wants to keep Walt's criminality secret from Walt Jr., and Gus's legitimate businesses could provide legal cover for Walt's income. If you really want to talk about dumb criminal decisions, Gus made Walt the lynchpin of his empire, then decided it was worth ruining that golden goose situation over the two certainly replaceable street-level dealers that killed Tomas.

​@@chrisadraheimExactly, people hate on Walt way to much, guy is the smartest character in the show, if he really was the evil monster people say, he would be unstoppable.

Why'd he a clown? corny statement

@@beefwrap probably just because that's how these reactors Arianna and Maple see him

tbf, Arianna has vested knowledge in criminal law and crime-dramas. So, she expects a little more competency from her villains. That's why they're Gus fans. Everyone who watches these kinds of shows are though. That's why most are Gus fans. And again, it's more of the arrogance Walt exudes than the actual competency.

@@thedarkemissary "she expects a little more competency from her villains" Walt isn't a "villain", and Gus is a cartoon character.

@@thedarkemissary You don't think Gus has made mistakes? We see Gus at the end of his decades long run as a crime lord. But we do see his one fuck up and it's when he gets his original partner killed.

​@@SilasWolfeDid walt poison a child ?

They wont understand the phone call, I"m calling it now.

or as Brother James the reactor used to call him, "Meth Damon" 😂

For real, one of the only decent and helpful characters in the entire show.

They will find a way to blame every thing Todd does on Walt.

See for me the sequence was _Friday Night Lights_ (wholesome awkward naïve teenager), _Breaking Bad_ (quiet turning to steadily increasing psycho factor), _Fargo_ (probably the most innocent guy in the whole bloody affair), so Todd was definitely the odd creep out for a while :) And yes, excellent job.

I loved Jesse Plemons in Game Night 😂😂 definitely played into his creep reputation (in roles of course)

Wherever there is injustice, you will find us. Wherever there is suffering, we'll be there. Wherever liberty is threatened, you will find... The Three Amigos!

I highly doubt they'll shit on Ozymandias, they've said over and over again how much they love the show. They just think Walt is a huge douche.

I KNEW that Don Eladio looked familiar, but I never made a connection that he is Manny. Now when I think about it then yes it is the older him. Yup Hector Salamanca is the hitman from that movie.

Knew the first two but didn't know that Scarface mom = that character in BCS's grandma. Thanks,

Mattragel is great that way too

Abuses are even better are using payback to isolate their victims.

... I... Walt not an abuser... God damnit lol noooooo😮😮😮

​@@HellomarshHe is, tho. Objectively.

BUT WAIT, that scene started with MARIE isolating Skyler and not letting Walt see her, AFTER Skyler freaked out on her for being obnoxious, so is Marie the abuser, yes I guess.

BuT wAlT iS tHe BaD GuY !?!

But remember, Walt and only Walt commits bad deeds, and he controls everybody else as they spiral through their descent in madness.

☕️ moment

Huh 🤔

I agree, specially in S5

I like when Marrie goes, it's a good day to break bad and steals a spoon.

Keep telling yourself that

🫢🤭

They identify too much with his character arc of emasculated man -> tough guy to ever admit the reality that his character is really a tale of megalomaniacal self-destruction

I disliked Walt. I consider him the villain of this story. Now what I find a bit annoying is seeing people putting the fanboy/fangirl label on anyone that tries to at least paint a nuanced picture of the character. Yes some people are fanboying and it's equally annoying. Yes some people are responding to these reactions with way too much passion when, in reality, it's not that big of a deal. But to be fair, most of the comments I see are pointed toward the lack of nuance in Maple and Arianna's interpretations of the different characters. I find a lot of valid points in these comments, but if you disagree feel free to respond with you own take and let's have a conversation.

@@Unherist I just find it pretty silly that people get so offended on Walt's behalf. Sure, I don't think diegesis are seeing his character perfectly rationally and yes they are heavily negatively biased against him. But this is a reaction video. The point isn't for the reactor to affirm the viewer's own opinions, but for us to see someone's honest reaction to the show. And I think it's an obnoxious fun-killer when half the comments are people going "Let me explain to you why you're completely wrong about this fictional character." As for Walt himself, personally I love him as a main character to watch, but that's because he is extremely flawed and not meant to be admired and therefore interesting. He's obviously a very smart man, a minor genius when it comes to chemistry, but he is also very stupid and short-sighted in other ways when his ego is involved. I think his character is perfectly summed up *SPOILERS* by Hank later in the season when he says to Walt, "You're the smartest guy I ever met, and you're too stupid to see..."

which only shows how dumb Walt is. THE FREAKING LAB WAS RAIDED, so it is obvious that people in the laundry above were arrested. Same with the fast food business, which Mike even mentions that the trucks used are impound. If he was intereseted about the specifics of the costs, like you know, any normal person would be, he should inquire. Ask Mike. And we all know that later on he will know exactly who these dudes are due to his "plan".

@@Sig509 Its not dumb, its more greedy than anything. He doesn’t want to pay his share of the legacy costs for Mike’s guys and possibly wants to deal with those guys in another way

I think it's a relatability thing. Like if Maple and Arianna still had to pay insurance on cars they no longer own, they wouldn't be happy either. It's not that Walt doesn't understand the cost of doing business. He just can't logically associate continuing to pay for expenses from an unassociated operation. Like imagine if you were hit in your paycheck for "Legacy Taxes." No way you'd be happy.

But Walt and Lydia's solution *is* better.

@@EWall1498 I didn't say that just providing context either solution is a sticky situation. Lets not spoil the show.

Don't make eye contact as you slowly make your way to the can of raid.

Walt is dumb MF. He is a genius in his field of knowledge, but business-wise he is just an amateur.

His hubris is almost unbearable.

@@xensonar9652 This lack of media literacy is whats unbearable.

@@the_crypter Indeed. The history of storytelling is full of villains who we love to hate, who frustrate us, who we curse and root against. I don't understand why people feel the need to defend them. We're supposed to have a strong negative reaction to them. It's fiction. Nobody gets hurt when a villain is disliked.

@@xensonar9652 No one has ever claimed that Walt was a good guy, 99% of us agree, he did some bad shit. The problem is the non-stop hatred, the vitriol everytime he's on screen is unbearable. You have to understand, as fans we like the main character and its fun to watch him to good and do bad. He's a fun character and people love that. Then we get to this channel and you get these two who just shit all over him for the sake of shitting all over him. The hatred and virtue signalling gets old very fast. Its painful to watch people make decision based on emotions and are blinded by these emotions so much that they're missing part of the fun of this show and thats watching Walt do his thing. We get it, you/they don't like Walt, we just dont need to hear about it every single time he's in a scene. Imaging your favorite fictional character and then see these two shitting all over that character. People speak up to counter their 'shitting' and instead of dialog, we get called "fanboys" and "incels" and every other name in the book. Look at their like to dislike ratio, there are no other BB reactor with so many dislikes. Its hard to watch people hating on a show you love.

Hmm 🤔

on episode 3x6 on patreon. will start poting to youtube when fleabag is done

also him bringing up Victor and going from "it was Gus trying to send me a message" to "maybe Victor flew too close to the sun" and completely missing "someone very involved with Gus' business was seen by several witnesses at the scene of the crime where one of his employees was just murdered by another one of his employees and he had to clean up" shows just how self-focused he is, he's so funny

which she never wouldve done if walt hadnt started cooking meth :) so yea, he did make her the bad guy

⁠@@pencil6965 oh so when a girl gets r@ped it’s her fault cause it wouldn’t have happened if she didn’t wear a short skirt? That fucked up man. What’s wrong with you?

They don't care, they just hate Walt

They're not in love with him, they respect that gus kept his shit on the down low. He was cautious. Walter is not.

@@mhernandez1345 Walter is cautious but also learning on the go and succeeds

did you forget that walter poisoned a child to manipulate jesse?

They know Gus is evil, they respect him because his methods were genius, his operation was running like clockwork. Walt meanwhile is a complete impulsive egotistical lunatic.
