I absolutely love this version. We all know Mike would have been able to take care of the whole Nazi crew. As we saw in Better Call Saul. This is perfect with Mike and Jesse getting away and Hank being absolved. Wish Gomey was alive though

Honestly walt killing himself with a gunshot to the head also works as a full circle moment bc in the pilot he tried to do the exact same, only then he failed

This feels like the "good" ending to Breaking Bad that you unlock from doing all of the side quests before the final mission. Gus and the Salamancas are dead, Jack and his crew are dead, and Walter is dead with his identity as Heisenberg revealed to the world. Meanwhile Hank is alive and able to help the broken White family recover from the trauma of the last two years, while Jesse escapes with the money to live a quiet life in Alaska, Mike is able to look after and protect his granddaughter from the shadows, and Saul escapes but inevitably confesses his crimes and goes to prison out of guilt.

Man, the idea that Walt would waste all of his time on revenge as Heisenberg without seeing the bigger picture is such an in-character one. It reminds me of how “Heisenberg” almost disregarded Ed’s advice by leaving the cabin immediately, only for his irrational actions to sink in for him.

I love the fact you blended in a "What if Walter releases the confession tape." I never really considered Mike coming back after he died. I just assumed Mike would stay away but it does make sense that he'd come back to keep an eye on things. I think this might be your only video in which both Jesse and Hank survived too.

I really liked this one a lot. The way mikes character ended never really sat right with me Mike got to live and still got to keep an eye on what he loved most: his family And in the end, i think walt getting "the bad ending" was completely deserved Of course, nothing can ever touch the actual finale of the show but the way this ended really fit with the show for me To show how walter just gradually became more and more evil and twisted, which ultimately lead to his demise

I love the idea of Mike and Jessie escaping together, it is 100% on character for Mike. Jessie is one of the only people he actually cares about by the end of the series and I could definitely see him saving Jessie one last time.

I have a couple of ideas What if Walter never dumped Gretchen and stayed in Gray Matter What if Joaquin didn't shoot Mike What if Tyrus caught Walt in the nursing home What if Nacho told the truth about Gus

This is honestly one of the best “what if” scenarios in breaking bad ive ever seen. The story lines up, the scene splicing is pretty genius, and best of all, Mike is alive. :)

The part of Mike raising his glass after hearing Walt's death is the most "Mike" thing imaginable.

Doesn't Hank have both, Jessie's confession and the general location to find the money of walt? That could easily make him won the trial.

"he did all this for his family" Felina would beg to differ

What if Walter successfully negotiated Jack out of killing Hank? I'd want to know how that plays out.

Man this was brilliant. Especially the desert scene, I just love the idea of mike In the desert AGAIN, with a sniper and taking out Jacks crew.

Mike is my favorite character. It always bothered me that Walter took him out. He deserved better. Thank you for giving us a better ending

But Hank does have proof, the money is still in the desert where Walter showed him, they can easily go back and check that area again.

It's a good theory, but I have one problem with the whole Hank doesn't have any proof part. When the DEA gets to the shootout scene, they'd go over the gang and find the coordinates written down on Jack's hand, and probably start digging there too. Then they'd find the money and isn't that the proof that Hank ultimately needs, since they'd find Walt's fingerprints all over the money and barrels?

i really love the fact that we saw mike take care of jacks entire gang. it proves that mike was just on a different level from all the other goons

What if skyler noticed Emilio's corpse when she was confronting jesse?

I think this will be my favorite "What-if" BrBa/BCS scenario.

My headcanon is that when Mike “dies”, he’s just pretending, and leaving Walt to deal with the consequences of his reckless actions by himself. Kinda like when sans says “Welp, don’t say I didn’t warn ya” and walks off screen when the protagonist wins

My favorite part of these what ifs is that every scenario that ends terribly for Walt, ends up working put kuch better for literally everyone else

I don't think Hank would be convicted. I think Skyler and Walter Jr would confess against Walter. Remember how Skyler tells Marie and Jr the truth at the same time as Walter is out in the desert. If that didn't happen, this would be an interesting possibility tho.

The idea of Walt confessing, and possibly ratting on Saul, Jesse and co, makes me picture something akin to the manhunt for Gene in BCS, but including Mike and Jesse. Possibly with the 3 colluding in order to evade the law

“Killing Mike was dumb”

I love to think in this timeline, Jessie, Mike and Saul all had to stay the night at Ed's shop. While Jessie is laying on the floor, Jimmy, not Saul, asks him what he would do with a time machine.

“Waltuh, pucha gun away Waltuh, I’m not killing you right now Waltuh”

I'd say Mike would likely be wearing his balaclava in the desert, on account of not wanting to be seen and not getting sunburn in the desert heat. Also, I think Mike would take the shot at Jack's crew during the gunfight because shots were already being fired. The practical change this would make is that Hank wouldn't know it was Mike who saved him, or even that Mike saved him and Gomey at all if Mike was able to pick off enough of the nazis. The practical effect this has is that Mike doesn't need to leave ABQ immediately and can maybe take some of Jesse's or Walt's drug money and give it to Kaylee.

What If gus survived this would lead to a completely different season 5

This is very well made, but there's no way in the world that Mike leave Walter alive in the desert.

I can't believe a fanfic is putting me on the edge of my seat, well done

here's a couple ideas, What if Jesse went through with burning down Walter's House or What if Jesse Killed Walter during the finale of Season 4? I'd say each would be interesting to dive into cause knowing how much pain Jesse went through from Walt from Being beat up by him and Hank, to knowing that Walter Prisoned Brock and lied that Gus did, there's no reason for Jesse to not kill Walter or burn his house down.

i don’t think walter would’ve gotten away with it. hank had jesses confession on tape, also the police would’ve been able to check the call history of walter with jack and walter with jesse on the way to the desert, confirming hanks story.

It's nice to see another happy ending

Here's an Idea: What if Tuco was never arrested and played a bigger role in BCS, and what if Gus never pitched Methamphetamine to Don Eladio?

This series has taught me there are so many ways to tell a story.

You need to call Vince and say that this needs to be a movie, bravo Murge

Allow me to gush over a little edit in this video. The part when you went over Jesse Mike and Saul reacting to walts end. The mike raising his glass scene was perfect.

The happy ending

Wow, I think this is my favourite one yet. Obviously the Ozymandius we got is one of the greatest episodes of television ever, but I really love the way you took it in this. Walter, of course, is doomed by his ego, as he will always be. But him using the confession tape? Brilliant, I was always a little disappointed we never saw more of that plot point in the show. The seventh barrel is just icing on the cake.

Walter would never kill himself. He would try but he wouldn't be able to pull the trigger, more like make a move to get killed by the cops because he was too much of a coward to kill himself.

12:27 this part was amazing showing the characters seeing about walter just looks like this was an actual scene

What if Gus had installed cameras in his underground meth lab sooner and witnessed Walt and Jesse's behavior during the fly episode? To be more serious though, what if Walt had accompanied Hank during the first meth bust, where he sees Jesse escape, only he wasn't aware of his own cancer yet? What would Walt do with his knowledge on Jesse, if he doesn't need money for his treatment yet?

Ten years ago I was crashing at a friends house and at night we watched an ep of BB. Never knew that 10 years later I would still be watching/rewatching BB. Thank you Vince Gillian, you flipping legend.

editing is so good, these visuals stich together well

This is a cool alternate scenario, but damn, Walt’s downfall here is somehow worse than in the original show, just somebody who got away but was left waiting to die by everyone around him.

If Mike used the disappearer, I suppose he'd try to find a new life in Colorado. He'd take the name of Buzz Hickey, a former cop who got hired at Greendale Community College as a criminology professor. Later on, he would share an office with Jeff Winger, a lawyer-turned instructor who was a Greendale student. The two of them would join the Student-Teacher Alliance called the Save Greendale Committee alongside other students like Britta Perry, Abed Nadir, Troy Barnes, Annie Edison, Shirley Bennett, and Ben Chang.

This is my new canon thanks Murge this is the best what if you've ever made by far. It makes season 5 walter suffer and he dies and Mike and Jesse get away MASSIVE W oh yeah and hanks ok too so it's perfect.

Even tho the series is over.. these videos keep my breaking bad fix going !

I really enjoyed this What if! It's always nice to see Jesse live in these stories! I feel like everyone got a good ending expect for Walter, Jack and his gang, and Steve Gomez. It was nice to see how things would of turned out if Mike survived. Can't wait until the next one!

Do you think Walter would survive without Jesse?

a few ideas I think are cool: what if Walt never met Saul what if Mike killed Walt before he could call Jesse to tell him to kill gale what if tuco successfully took Jesse and get Walt to Mexico what if Hank got in the RV what if Walt killed ted

Man ive been waiting for this, cant wait for the next one!!!!

Yea definitely on of my favorite of the videos, it's always interesting to see who dies and who lives when you change some things around.

I loved the video, you definitely took some interesting twists and turns that I didn't expect. Here's one idea that I think is pretty interesting: What if Jesse never fell into the wrong crowd and got into drugs, actually paying attention in Walts class etc.? I like to think that in some kind of sick twist of fate where Jesse used his intelligence to better himself and make a name for himself, that he could end up working for Graymatter in some way. Not like a majorly influential part, but as a chemist potentially.

I feel like Mike would have intervened before the shooting started , leaving Steve Gómez alive .

To be honest I could see this be actually ending to the show.

Those 9 guys needed to go, even Jesse knew that. If Mike would've retaliated for that, then Walt made the right decision.

I knew that I'd love your story ideas even before watching the video. This is one of your best episodes!

Here’s and idea, What if Gus didn’t kill Don Eladio and the cartel or when trying to kill them he somehow gets killed, then you could go into how Walter (Mike and Jesse, depending whether they die as well) has to kill the cartel or maybe they join together, like how Jesse was being sold to them.

This one was amazing! I would love to see and actual acted version of the scene with Mike taking out Jack´s gang, or Hank going to prision due to Heisenberg´s schemes.

Use Dawn of the Dead footage to do "What if Belize invaded Albuquerque?"

I just discovered your channel from this video, immediate sub. I love how you really thought of everything and how everyone's story would change, I'm probably gonna binge the rest of ur videos now (probably only the brba ones since I haven't watched bcs yet)

I've already watched Breaking Bad but I just want to thank you for titling the video the way that you did because often times I get spoiled for a lot of good shows just from titles in my recommendations.

Man, this was amazing! Every video you upload is a banger!

1st off I want to say that these what if scenarios for Breaking Bad are phenomenal

“After what happened with Brock he’d never involve children again” He absolutely would lmao

this is some of the most well crafted and insightful fanfiction ive see in a minute

This was really great.

I was watching another video and was on my phone and this auto played and the "you are a time bomb, tick tick tick- EUUUUAAGHH" got me 💀

What if Walter never worked with Gus?

I love that you used my 1 sentence idea I commented awhile ago, and made it into a detailed story with a great plot. 10/10 this is my favorite of your videos 👍

I love how this version makes Walter look like an even bigger piece of shit.

The better ending

There could have been another ending to this. What if Todd had been left alive and had sold out Walt to get out of jail.

This is my favorite breaking bad KZfaqr you still make breaking bad new

I love the way you write, you understand the characters perfectly

What if Hank found Walt in the RV?

Self inflicted gunshot wound, reference to John Margolis (Janes dad) who was hospitalized for one also

I've always loved the scene when (right before he dies) he yells at Walt about killing Gus and screwing everything up... It shows how Mike really felt about everything. He rolled with Walt but was very content with the Gus situation.

I think Walter's phone conversation with Jesse could be used as evidence tho. Also Jesse's confession to Hank and Gomez, which in the main timeline, the Nazis destroyed.

Really enjoying this series so far. I’m pretty sure Vince Gilligan mentioned before that Jesse was supposed to die in the first season. Could you do a video on that? I’d love to hear your ideas on how that would effect the story.

Options like this really make me want a breaking bad telltale series

I'm sure you proably had this one suggested before but what if Gus survived. He noticed the bomb a little bit earlier and dives out of the room and is unharmed or only mildly injured while Hector and Tyrus still die Or another one being if Hank found undeniable proof of Gus being a drug kingpin before his death causing Gus to become wanted and this having to deal with Walter and the DEA at the same time or possibly the DEA before choosing to kill Walter

This was so good! Keep them coming

This is amazing!

This alternative scenario would’ve led to a sixth season.

Mikes death was sad, but when you watch BCS his death is 10x sadder

Good shit, Pal. Keep them coming...

What if max and gus never met the car

I think the one mistake is assuming Walter would kill himself. No matter how hopeless it seems I still believe his ego would prevent him from doing such.

Walter’s resolution here reminds me of what Scorpius said to John in Farscape S2: “I condemn you….TO LIVE! So that your thirst for unfulfilled revenge will consume you! Goodbye!” Nice story. It makes for a pretty decent ending!

I don’t see hank going to jail and Walt going free. That tape is not evidence of anything. Hank would have Jessie’s confession tape, his entire family would side with him over Walt, and at that point I don’t even think Walt would try ruin hank. Walt would have lost his money, power, and family his only option would be going to jail.

This came in my recommendation & I’m glad. I thoroughly enjoyed this version of the lead-up to the death of Heisenberg/Walter. Your ending was (somewhat) wholesome. The shot of Mike cheering his drink 🥃 upon hearing the news of Walter’s death was bittersweet. I liked Mike, which makes me question my own morals.😕 It was good to see Hank survive this too.

Be real everyone if this was the real ending you guys would say it was a stupid ending

This is a great what if and Mike lives is a plus. One thing I think might change it sort of was that Hank did have some evidence when he had those recordings of Jesse telling his story of him and Walt. I think you probably forgot to mention it, but I just want to mention that.

12:41 Perfect Timing. Here's another round What If Drew Sharp wasn't killed?: Plot: Let's say Todd and Kuby switched roles with Todd being the distraction and Kuby raiding the train with Walt and Jesse. When they are celebrating, Drew Sharp comes along. The three having no idea what to do, figure out with telling a fake story about them doing construction on a train. He takes it and leaves. From there on, Jesse would probably stay a bit longer and might even tolerate Todd(Unless he catches him commiting something that irks him). Kuby might be the hero after all. Lol. What if Todd was Walter's student instead of Jesse? Plot: Walt and Jesse collide so much throughout the series and this might even happened during the time Jesse was a student and Walt was a teacher. Todd, however, respected Walt so much, rarely getting into arguments. So what if in this AU, Todd was Walter's star student and saw him at the raid?(This would take a lot of reworking, but I think this would end badly. Lol What if Walt was never in the game? Plot: Walter White was a timebomb to the criminal world. So what would have happened if he wasn't involved? And I'm talking about what would happen to each character in the criminal underworld like Gus, Mike, Tuco, etc. I would imagine to be an all out war between the Cartel, Gus's Empire, Jack's crew and the fucking DEA.(Okay that last one was just 'Endgame' levels of fanboyism). Edit 1. I can't believe I predicted that at 3:21. 2. Yesterday was Jonathan Banks's birthday. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

this was really well made. it stays true to walts character, arguably as well as mikes.

0-:36 this scene makes me think of tony's ralph dream in the sopranos

Amazing. One of your best videos yet! Keep up the good work!
