Pinkman*

yeah the two basically switched roles lol. Tho... jesse was never a bad person. He was just a guy who had nowhere to go As story progresses he becomes a better person while his buddy becomes worse n worse.

The innocent times when Skyler was concerned about Jesse being his dealer, oh boy..

@@IronIsKing talkin bout “pinkman” yes we get it we know that’s his last name lol. Nice 👍 great job thank you for the reminder you’re a genius. You know everything

@@JesusLopez-cg2gq I know that 😀

Lots of great things about Breaking Bad were clearly planned ahead but I love that one of the best things about the story ended up being a sort of happy accident that they stumbled upon.

@@Aleczandxr Agreed and the fact Jesse got a movie wrapping up his story El Camino(don’t care what people say I really enjoyed it) it just shows how good the writers for this series are especially with a happy accident.

And likewise, Mike was not supposed to be a major character either.

@@contemptman3646 That’s true if Bob Odenkirk was on set that day Mike wouldn’t be a thing but the fact Vince and crew pulled it off the way they was beyond impressive.

​@@Aleczandxr the thought of Breaking Bad without Jesse is just... so strange to think about. Because I feel like we've all grown to see Jesse as like... the emotional core of the show. And you can tell a lot about where Walt is in his character development by what's happening to Jesse at the moment.

I think he grew his beard back out again and kept it this time

What about Mr. Takavic? What will happen to him? What I know is that he’s an introvertly depressed guy managing cinnabon in Nebraska. He seems to be nervous around authorities and has no friend. Rumor said that Mr. Driscoll used to know him but they left in bad terms.

@@nont18411 and mr lambert?

@@Chuked Nobody ever sees him again. Rumors said that he went on a trip to Belize on his 52nd birthday and never come back.

Kinda like dexter

Skinny pete

Maybe too human. He cant stop suffering

​@finnker9879 true, even when it's not necessary

​@calviopisco I feel like Jesse is almost as a viewer insert. Sure, he's an addict but he's just kinda average compared to most of the cast. I think he feels as much as he should and as much as someone in his place likely would.

The place we found jesse in in s1 is the highest point he as a person could reach in the criminal world, just a young local part time dealer who’s just doing it because of bad encounters and being lost in life with no idea what to do with his future. Since he partnered with walt, by s2 we learn that unlike walt, jesse isn’t built for the next levels where casualties are dropped left and right and you and your family are constantly in danger of death

Very true, Mike was so good for him.

That's why we respect Mike...He'll tellya the truth.

True, rip Mike

and then fucking Walt killed him

that scene and the entirety of peekaboo really humanizes jesse and shows that he isn’t some heartless hardened dealer, he’s a good person at his core

Funnily in el camino we see a callback to that scene with skinny Pete playing with the bug

The bug was the saddest death in the show

But Pete don't bad human. El camino accept this

peekaboo is one of my favourite episodes of the show. it shows a new side to jesse that wasn't really shown before that - he really is a good person at heart.

Up until the moment the trigger was pulled I was convinced that he wasn't going to do it and they'd get out of it somehow. But they were trapped, and Breaking Bad is legit, so nope.

how was it a tragedy? gale was a meth cook... it was him or jesse and walt and most likely hank

@@whitedom2041 With that criteria Walt and Jesse are also meth cooks. But Gale was more innocent than them both. He was a decent man who just had a morally questionable job. But I think the tragedy being refferred to here is Jesse being the one to pull the trigger. Like said in the video, while heavily flawed, Jesse was a heartfelt person. When the show started, he was just a low level drug dealer, that's all. But in this moment he became a murderer, and it nearly broke him.

Yeah when I heard the gunshot I kept denying he actually did it. It was like impossible in my head. When I saw Gale's body my heart sunk, and I knew Jesse would never be the same :(

@@thebelen2359 “that’s all”

“Gale always struck me as Gus’ Jesse… same exploitable childishness” I wish we got more scenes with Jesse and Gale together. I think it would be interesting to see Gale take on mentor role to Jesse and teach him everything else about organic chemistry that Walt hadn’t taught him. He certainly would have been a much less toxic mentor for Jesse.

@Clips4All When Gus said he sees things in people, when deciding not to kill walt and jesse, I think what he means is that he sees walt as jesse’s Max. Jesse and Gus are both the distribution, while walt and Max were the chemists. and in both instances, the partners were near inseparable, but I think Gus and Max were more than just business partners and friends.

@@mechadoggy idk jesse only really looks up to people he respects i doubt he’d have respect for gale i mean he probably thinks the guys some nerd and the same vice versa gale probably thinks he’s some delinquent burnout 😭 walt was jesses ex teacher so that’s why hes so taken by him

@@aishah7730 “walt was jesses ex teacher so that’s why hes so taken by him” Jesse was so taken by Walt because of how he impressed Jesse with his high purity and how he taught Jesse organic chemistry techniques. Gale can do both of that. If anything, Jesse’s past history with his teacher who failed him on his chemistry quiz would be a detriment, not an asset. “i mean he probably thinks the guys some nerd” Isn’t that what Jesse thought of Walt back in season 1 until Walt impressed Jesse by showing how high purity he can achieve? “gale probably thinks he’s some delinquent burnout” The evidence we have is that Gale was quite polite and courteous to Jesse.

@@mechadoggy thats my point tho jesse thinks hes a nerd sure but he still has respect for him bc walt was once his teacher and had explicit authority over him but its also true that that respect grows once he sees what walt is capable of. also in the scene where gale meets jesse hes obvs judging him. like i just dont think theyre compatible at all

I feel that

This is pretty much how I deal with my worst depressive spirals. I’m an extrovert by nature, but when I’m at my lowest I need to constantly surround myself with friends or even acquaintances just being outside doing anything I can to not be left alone with my thoughts.

Podcasts helped me in difficult times like that. Having to start uni during the pandemic as quite an antisocial person who struggled to make friends quickly became the worst experience of my life. Trapped in my room reading online lectures, all I could do was to drown out the silence with endless hours of podcasts. I still do a lot of the time, even though I’m in a better place now.

@@merrybright5732 god i relate so deeply to this. I felt the exact thing when watching Jesse go down this path. I seriously felt his pain. I’ve been battling depression, childhood trauma and anxiety a lot, and being alone with myself have been the hardest moments ever, so i always lashed out. The hardest i’ve ever had it was when my mom died after her 15 years of extreme alcohol abuse and i found her dead body in the living room of her apartment. I did however not react instantly to this event, it was a whole year later, that i started suffering from a deep depression and suicidal thoughts. When i was little i used to be violent, and i stole other kids’ things, later it was a constant need to feel accepted. I’ve constantly sorrounded myself with other people to drown out my dark thoughts. Ofc i could go on for days about this, but my point is i completely understand why Jesse would try to drown out his thoughts with noise or other stimuli, because that’s the only way he could function

When my headphones broke i had to go places while thinking about my life. I hate being alone with my thoughts... especially if you only turn in circles for years... JUST INPUT, even white noise at max volume would be fine tbh.

Well, that’s the consequences of rebellion. Jesse finally acknowledges his responsibility for his rebellion when he confesses to his parents, “whatever happened with me, it’s on me”

This happens more often then you would realize

​@@mechadoggy I mean it's good that he takes responsibility for his actions, but we can't deny the parent's mistakes and own responsibility in this. After all, it's mostly our family that shapes us into what we are, for better or for worse.

Yeah that was so beautiful and well deserved, he could finally catch a break and leave things behind him.

It’s a contrast to how back when he was in such emotional despair and guilt, he felt this need to surround himself with noise in an effort to numb his conscience. Thank God that Jesse was not successful though, lest he sear his conscience like Walt and become more evil.

Sorry :(

@@Aleczandxr no don't be its ok I really love your videos for that since you find things in characters that that can be very relatable and touching. very much appreciated

@@captaindinkel5480 it's honestly hits close to home. I even said some pretty toxic stuff on here that I won't go into. Suffice to say it said something about how I deserved to be either homeless or dead. When I relapsed last week, the edible didn't feel like anything. It didn't stimulate my imagination or help envision some salvation from my guilt. There wasn't some apotheosis where I'd finally figure out where I'm supposed to be going in life. It was a detached, meaningless state of mind that did nothing but waste my fucking time. I felt disgusted, ashamed, disillusioned, idiotic and just plain sad. The fucked up thing is, I still had the craving for this bullshit, narrowly avoiding making the same mistake several times. I don't even know if I was even properly sober anymore, I still drunk quite often, and got over dropping over and relapsing made it worth. That point about Jessie about not being focused on what he really wanted out of life, it hit even harder. I'm not in Jessie's financial position. I lived a very spoiled life, and for the most part I never had to think about my life beyond "degree, postgrad, job marriage". I even took this bullshit post grad that I narrowly qualified for. To be fair, it's fine, but after seeing how my thesis was rowaly screwed, it sent me into an existential crisis. For the first time i took a step back and realized that I hadn't put any fore thought into who I am, who I was supposed be, and what I actually love doin. I just repeated the same mantra over and over again "degree, postgrad, job, marriage" assuming everything else would fall into place. I never actually took an active step into determining if I was even meant to do any of this stuff. My passions for writing always seemed to run cross purposes to the degree I eventually got, and weed certainly didn't help the situation. Instead of actually looking at what I wanted out of my time at uni, I just got high of my mass in my last two years and got barely satisfactory grades. I even traded some of my stuff for weed money and psychedelics . It was an absolute joke.

Facts

This video made me tear up and this comment even more because of how much I relate to it and how much I’m scared to admit it. Always trying to cope by lying to myself that what’s going on isn’t “that bad” or whatever. But hey at least now I realize it and I’m gonna try to work on that! I know this is months old but I hope you’re doing well now, or at least better. Remember that distraction isn’t always good and stay safe.

What episode was that?

NBA Yb

This biggest victims in Breaking Bad are Walter Jr and Holly.

@@seemonuzumaki723 True

in what why is jesse a victim? he went to AA meetings to sell meth he got his sober friends hooked on meth again he snitched on walt for dealing with mike who would not let him have the names of the 9 prisoners who were going to rat on walt and jesse and prolly mike himself he got so mad at walt for making brock sick when he didnt go and try burn todds house down for shooting a kid in front of him... brock didnt even die or have lingering health issues he screwed his parents out off 400 thousand for his aunts house because of a meth lab in the basement that was his. it can even be argued that he was the reason jane started using again and resulted in her death..he also took crazuy 8 and emilo straight to walt and the rv in the desert once again ratting out walt jesse also left the keys in the rv draining the battery which nearly killed them both the list goes on and on and on if they killed off jesse in season 1 the show would have been alot different better or worse but jesse is not a victim

oh yeah and he also got brocks mother killed for trying to escape even tho they had their picture up and warned him they would do it and jesse knew that atleast tod was capable of murdering a child

@@whitedom2041 It is possible to be both, a victim and a perpatrator. He did a lot of shit, and he went through a lot of shit.

Gale was in the game. Deserve has nothing to do with it, the game is the game.

The role of jesse killed his career though

@DimborTheThird Well, from my understanding this is how casting works in the film industry. Take a look at Mark Hamil, all around a decent actor so why didn't he get more roles after star wars? It is because film directors don't like people looking at their movie and saying "luke Skywalker is in this". Aaron Paul's acting is excellent, but he will always be known as Jesse pinkman and typecasted as similar characters. Plus, landing a role in a movie is already hard enough

@@damn6511 I wouldn't totally say it killed his career. It launched it, bc he didn't really do a LOT before BrBa (not saying he did NOTHING, but he didn't do a LOT) but I'd say it more secluded and limited his career. BrBa did that with a lotta the actors. It's the best show. It's his peak in acting and earnings wise. It's considered the best show ever. He's gonna have a hard time fi ding roles after that bc he's known as Jesse and exactly like what you said, he's gonna have roles only similar to Jesse bc thats his character. It's hard to move on from something that huge. It's like he won the Olympics of acting. There's not much else that's gonna be considered as great after BrBa

@@damn6511 Oh yeah, Mark Hamil's career really went downhill after that. Voicing the iconic Joker in the animated Batman series, voicing Fire Lord Ozai in one of the great cartoons of all time period...his career really went down the drain.

@@keyamazed1038 did I say he went downhill? I am aware of his voice acting roles

The ironic beats of the music in the scene are so tonally perfect.

Wuss

@@MasterKief-fo20 ;=;

Agree with all of this except I do think this was epic acting from Aaron Paul's part.

​@@thebelen2359 Oh yes, of course, a bit of a bad take on my part :p I meant more that the scene itself wasn't epic, not that the actor wasn't doing a good job (edit: Actually re-reading my comment I meant to say that it wasn't epic acting because it felt too real. It didn't felt like it was acting at all)

He didn't really have the full picture, also Walt was pretty much threatening Saul by the end. Also it's worth to point out that Jesse beat him up pretty badly, might have had a negative impact on their relationship.

At that point Saul wasn't in the know of what was really happening. It also go to the point where Walt had him on a leash

Funny enough , Saul took the role of Howard Hamlin. It was like Hamlin's spirit geting vengeance of Saul for what he did.

I hope we get a scene in Better Call Saul on how Walt convinced Saul to steal the ricin cigarette. Its part of the downfall of both Walter and Saul

I think that was the point. Saul isn't Jimmy anymore. He's Heisenberg's pet. He'll drop his morals for a tiny cut of what Walt makes.

Thanks!

The way Jesse acted throughout those episodes had me thinking, "He's taking this really hard." It's okay, Jesse! We know you're still a good person inside!

As long as people keep watching and commenting to let me know that there is interest, I will try my best to continue!

@@Aleczandxr I'll watch forever! Yeah, Jesse's entire arc makes me bleed.

Agreed

@@Aleczandxr would love to see one done on Marie and Skyler, so misrepresented and underrepresented!

@@Aleczandxr Speaking of analyses, what are your thoughts on Todd, his psychiatric profile, and his background? A couple of the actors mentioned that they envisioned Todd growing up just like the Peekaboo boy but never being “rescued” from that household environment.

HYPE

Oh shit it's gonna be out in April??? Hypeee

whats it about?

@@johnynoway9127 they r gonna call Saul

@@johnynoway9127 calling Saul

I still disagree. There are plenty of people who don't offer much and have a good life just like there are people who have a lot to offer and have a shitty life.

i hope u manage to overcome it someday

He's the second best character

@@jimmyichigo7410 he's the best in my opinion, followed by walter and gus

Have you seen the movie El Camino? It's pretty good, focuses on Jesse right after the events of breaking bad. Also I highly recommend Better Call Saul if you haven't seen it already, I like it even more than breaking bad

Yes bald Omni man

@@turtleman7031 1) Walt 2) Jimmy 3) Gus 4) Jesse 5) Mike

I was happy they went with the dude that plays jesses buddy to voice wedge

Yeah that’s correct. Gale wanted to ensure that customers got what they paid for, optimal quality.

can I ask you how did you overcame all of this? I suffer frequently from this inaction and melancholia, and I completely understand you, although I'm not addicted. maybe I just end up finding my own noise, just like Jesse.

@@gustavttt4148 honestly the thing that started me on the party to betterment and what keeps me on it is that every day I started saying "new day new me" when I woke up. It allowed me to not have anxiety over what happened the prior day and just work towards getting better. It also helps that what spurned me to start saying that every day would eventually blossom into me becoming a Buddhist. It was comforting ideas like the fact that even those attempting to reach the state of bodhisattva will fall from said path innumerable times. It's like "ok it doesn't matter if I do it flawlessly, just work towards it". It was all subtle shifts in how I viewed the world that started this butterfly effect of positive changes.

Addiction to weed🤣🤣 bro u have no idea how bad it can get

Stay sober forever. You won’t be strong enough to quit anything remotely harder. Being sober is great tho so enjoy what life has to offer!

@@vincentdegendorfer6091 I wholeheartedly agree. Currently I don't like anything that robs me of my sobriety, I don't drink or smoke anymore. And with a clear head I've started making the biggest advancements in life yet. I've stuck with amateur sumo wrestling for a year and a half, went to my first tournament in October of this year and am prepping for the national tournament in March of next year. Now that I'm not blowing my money on drugs I'm also not spending money on material things I don't have room for. Now every bit of money I make I'm saving towards living off the grid. I used to want to do so many thing when I was high but would be too lazy to do them. Hell I even got into long distance hiking, currently getting myself conditioned so that I can hike the AT in a year or 2. I wouldn't trade sobriety for anything at this point. I'm enjoying life more than I ever have before.

I think his bitter-sweet ending on el camino was well deserved.

Thank you!

Thank you! And very much agreed re: Aaron Paul.

@@MichelangeloVA whohhhhh I didn't know that! That's mind-blowing

@@MichelangeloVA thats debunked, he said it in an interview that he was very passionate and took acting classes

@@MichelangeloVA kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLp8gJeevpfddYk.html heres the link so u dont think im bullshitting, idk where the rumor came from. i think maybe cuz he didn’t go uni for acting but he still done some acting classes

@@es6904 No, he said in this AMA that he never did lol

Indeed, I usually imagine Jesse as building for himself a house that happens to look a lot like Aaron Paul’s rustic-looking Idaho home which he shares with this blonde woman who happens to look a lot like Aaron’s wife Lauren

He does it when he cries. He also does it in the "I don't know what's wrong with me Mr white" scene

Is El Camino a good sequel?

@@seemonuzumaki723 more of an epilogue, but yes. There's some minor continuity errors like actors looking a little... different, compared to how they looked in breaking bad. But other than that it's a really good send off for jesse as a character.

​@@seemonuzumaki723 It's alright. It doesn't harm any of the characters but it isn't great either. If you're very satisfied with the ending of the show and don't feel a need to see where Jesse's story goes then no need to watch it.

Thank you very much! And totally agreed re: Aaron Paul’s performance!

Glad you enjoyed the video. To clarify, you misunderstood what I meant by silence and what you said is totally in line with my point, that isn’t a disagreement. The “silence” is the world quieting around you. And in those times this sort of trauma can be the most painful, as it is here. It’s directly applied to Jesse’s situation and why the silence is deafening.

Cheers pal, hope you enjoy them!
