@Tiara Sewlal Walter had real love for Hank it’s like how even though u may hate your siblings guts deep down u still love them and he gave Jesse up because Jesse ruined his life and got his brother in law killed. He could’ve gotten away with everything and have a chance to fix the relationship with his wife
@Marjanne van der Bijl yeah for sure the same with Skylar and his children but he ultimately chose his ego over all of them. From season 1 it was escalating and he knew it could lead to this
Walt “kidnapped his daughter” because he wants to be seen as the mastermind/bad guy. Especially on the phone call with Skyler. He knew the call was recorded. He wanted to make sure Skyler was deemed innocent and had no idea about Walt’s doings.
@Phoenix Ace Skyler didn't trust in Walt anymore after all his lies, and Flynn acted based on his mother reaction, before that he didn't want to belive what his mother told to him about his father but after the fight scene he saw that his mom was in truly pain and that everything was true.
Gale was an innocent person who hadn’t harmed anyone and wasn’t in the middle of harming anyone. Jesse being ripped up about killing him makes sense. It might have been his only choice to save himself and Walt, but certainly a difficult decision. Walt killed two guys who had murdered a child and were about to kill his friend. His composure about it made sense. If killing someone was necessary and right, one does not need to feel remorseful about it.
@Best Metal and Rock Lists You do not understand the meaning behind "killing in cold blood". It's not about whether the killing was necessary or no/to protect himself and others or no, it is that he killed them with no remorse whatsoever, not feeling anything after running over a man and shooting another in the head, unlike Jesse when killing Gale, he showed remorse, he did not kill him in cold blood.
@William Wilson he had to to save his partner. plus he was extremely hesitant on doing. plus it wrecked him. a bad person does bad things continuously and feels bad after doing it again. jesse is extremely hurt by it
I wouldn't count killing Crazy 8 as one of the worst things he's done. He was considering to let him go until he realised Crazy was going to stab him right after being released.
I definitely think enslaving jesse, or the way he treated jesse all together the entire show is probably the worst thing he had done. Walter genuinely loved Jesse as a son. Literally once calling his own son "jesse" by mistake. But at the same time, I dont think Walter is truly capable of loving someone
@Gabby Campos He didn't tell him out of pride, it was out of spite because he blamed him for Hank's death. He also thought the Nazis would kill him (after trying a lot to talk him out of it), not enslave him. I don't blame Jesse for his actions, hell they are very understandable, but Walter loved Jesse, that was apparent.
Killing Krazy-8 is kind of self defense. He actually thought of releasing him at first. Also the reason why he tells he watched Jane die to Jesse has a meaning from Walt’s perspective at that moment of time during the shootout. It is like “If you haven’t helped Hank, he would have been alive” type of feeling.
He actually says it for 2 reasons, one that he can't have that guilt forever, second is that he wanted Jesse to know he cared for him, and his stability, along with having him around as a crime partner.
4:50 He definitely didn't murder him in "cold blood". He, in fact, showed a lot of remorse after the fact, and was extremely hesitant beforehand, too. He was likely going to let him go before he saw the missing plate piece.
One of the best characters in the history of fiction. With each episode he slipped further from the path of good. By the final season, Walter White was gone and Heisenberg had taken over. He was practically a supervillain. And in spite of everything... I still managed to sympathise with him. I still saw in him a good man who was trying to make the best of a bad situation. That's how good Bryan Cranston's performance is.
I think one of the reasons this show is so addicting is because we are watching Walt continuously become evil and we are just waiting and waiting for those moments where we can see him more like his old sensible self. Especially later on in the series. The acting is so good because it makes you still feel some sort of sympathy for the man even though he was responsible for 200 lives by the end of the show.
I don't think #8 is a valid point, Walt didn't "force" Jesse to kill Gale. The original plan was Walt doing it himself and Jesse had no problem handing Gale's adress to him. Why? Because he knew from the start that Gale needed to be gone in order for Gus to spare their lives. In the end, Walt told him to do it because he was held hostage by Mike and Jesse obeyed. But not because Walt forced him to, because he knew they'd both be killed if he didn't.
Walt was trying to save himself. He was cornered an about to die lmao. I guarantee he didn’t care about jesse in the moment. Lucky enough for Walt, jesse saved him. I see that as one of the few and rare instances where Jesse actually saves Walt in this series. Showing that Jesse still cared about his partner
How sad is it to see that even his baby daughter doesn't acknowledge him. What a heart-breaking tragedy of a man dying litterally and morally in the process
@Anatol de Nevers Gale wasn't as innocent as he is often portrayed. He was completely fine making a highly addictive drug that tears people's lives apart for an organization he would have known was extremely violent and brutal, and he rationalized it by being a libertarian. Gale was complicit in the exact same kind of things we rightfully vilify Walter for. The only difference is that Walt was willing to do them directly, while Gale was happy to let Gus and Gus' henchmen take care of them so he could feel like his hands were cleaner. Gale wasn't stupid, he would have known what drug dealers have to do to maintain their drug empires. Edit: The first version of this comment came across a little hostile, which I didn't intend.
@Anatol de Nevers walt wasn't as innocent as gale was but i was saying that *if* you hold walt immoral on the basis of that buisness, then that implies that gale was immoral too
"... Luckily no one was harmed." Ah yes, Hector managed to stand up and run away as the bomb exploded, the bodyguard just dematerialised and of course Gus died for comedic effect. Luckily no one was harmed.
Jessie killed her. He got her back on drugs and they had a bad drug binge. Walt walked in on her choking on her own vomit and let it happen... Even if he wasn't there, she would've died anyway. Also, Jessie getting her back on drugs then led Jane's father to mess up at work, causing an airplane crash. Jessie once again messing up everything and blaming Walt for his own actions.
Walt let her die because of her influence to Jesse. Yes he got her back on drugs but she got Jesse into heroin and blackmailed Walt into giving them money which they clearly would've wasted all of it on drugs. If she survived the money would've been gone quick and if they didn't die from an od soon after, they would've been like the couple that stole from skinny pete
Tyrus seemed like such a wasted character imo. Victor didn’t have much personality either but at least his last episode helped add some character. Tyrus barely said a dang word the entire show
@Akash Verghese He didn't have to convince Salamanca at all or he barely did, Hector had nothing left to live for his entire family was dead and he was stuck alone in a nursing home confined to a wheelchair unable to even speak. He, a man with nothing left to live for has a chance to kill the man that's responsible for the death of his family the man he hates most, of course he's gonna take it he didn't need any convincing.
You cant deny it tho, he really thought of everything. Even when everyone knew about his plans,intentions and what he has already done they couldnt kill him because they knew he had already taken so much from them already. Walter is just big brain
The craziest thing about breaking bad is that Walter and Jesse could have lived a longer drug dealing life once they teamed up with Gustavo but Walt always wanted that power and felt Gustavo was a threat but really Gustavo was as much of a threat as he thought
tbf gus did try to kill him after he killed their dealers, and he definitely killed tomas, walt just couldn't build up trust after the fact and was convinced that he needed to kill gus or he'd die after that, even after gus and mike warmed up to jesse and gus fired him (although gus shouldn't have tried to intimidate him)
The thing with Crazy 8 was actually a very grey area because the man attempted to kill him and it was very likely that he would come back to kill Walt if he let him go, even if he left in peace to begin with. It’s crazy to see how Walt went from struggling to kill someone that would’ve killed him without hesitation to killing completely innocent people.
I think one of the worse things Walt has done was when Jack is about to kill Hank, he told him about his money being buried in the desert where he could’ve simply told him that he wouldn’t cook for Jack and his crew if he killed Hank since that’s what they wanted from Walt
The worst moment for me is when Walt betrayed Jesse to Jack and then spitefully admit that he let Jane die. Also intentionally poisoning Andrea’s son Brock was a sickening thing for Walt to do.
People forget that not only did Walt WATCH Jane die, but he physically turned her on her back for her to choke. If he wasn’t there, she likely would’ve puked on her side and survived
I like how Bogdan went all the way to framed that dollar just to see Walt recklessly smashed it to the edge of the desk like that frame is blocking in his way. That scene was satisfying to watch for me.
@Astronomical334 If he'd taken the money Skyler, Walter Jr and Holly would have been set for life after Walt died of his cancer. If he hadn't been so prideful he'd never have had to cook meth.
@Eric No they didn't. He broke up with Gretchen because he couldn't handle that she was richer than him. He chose to leave Gray Matter and only made up the "They stole my money and never gave me credit" story because his ego couldn't take the fact that him being insecure caused him to leave the company before it was successful.
I feel like the worst thing Walt did isn't a one time singular thing. If you watch the show again, the amount of times Walt rants on Jessie about how terrible and shitty he is is astonishing. It's pretty much every episode. And it is always uncalled for. He is so brutal to Jessie, just tears him down constantly for no reason. He physically assaults him multiple times. It makes my blood boil. That and poisoning the kid. I feel like this list came from googling random "badass" moments. Murdering Gus's people? He was saving Jessie. Yes those were crazy things Walt did but they weren't the worst. It wasn't those things that made him evil. Killing crazy 8 and blowing up Tuco's place and even making Jessie kill Gale aren't his worst offenses either. Those were decisions he felt forced to make based on the situation he found himself in after being a piece of shit. It's the smaller things, like lying constantly to his wife and not even feeling bad. Lying to his son. Missing his child's birth. Letting Jane die. Manipulating everyone in his whole life. Forcing his son to drink until he pukes. *RAPING his wife at one point*. People ignore these little things and they, to me, were the worst because they had nothing to do with his safety or the "job".
i think letting jane die was worse than poisoning brock. he knew it wasn't gonna kill him. of course it's still very messed up, but he didn't actually use the deadly poison
4:23 HOLY SHIT I NEVER REALIZED HOW CHUBBY JESSE LOOKED THERE. It makes sense though. At that point he had been clean and staying with Hank. So of course it would make sense that he would put on a little weight. Just goes to show how phenomenally the writer’s, creators and everyone who worked on this show was. 👏🏻
It probably could’ve had a relatively happy ending if Jesse never tried to sell Andrea meth, thus falling in love with her, and then getting involved with tomaz, then giving Walt a reason to kill the dealers, giving him a reason to kill Gus, turning him into a very bad person
Early on, yeah. But nearing towards the end, it was not at all the right thing. He admitted that everything he ever did, throughout the whole series, was all for himself. More so than the original "plan": to secure his family's finances. He did it all cuz it awoke him into feeling alive
Killing krazy-8 wasn’t in cold blood, he found out that he was gonna kill him with that plate if he let him go. And also you could tell when he was looking for all of the pieces of the plate, he didn’t want to kill anyone due to the expression on his face.
I think Vince Gilligan once said the worst thing Walter did was tell Jesse he watched Jane choke to death. His reasoning was because of how sadistic of a move it was. He had no reason to tell Jesse that other than wanting to watch him suffer.
Lilly of the Valley is one of my favourite plants and there is a scene before Jesse revealed to Walt about the real poison where Walt is shown sitting at the table by the swimming pool turning his pistol on the table and you can see the pot with the plant in the background. The third time he turns the pistol, the pistol ends facing the pot with the plant. I could immediately identify the plant (I even said to myself, oh a lilly of the valley) and later when Jesse revealed to Walt about the poison I thought immediately of that scene.
What makes that scene with holly saying mama so great is that it was completely improv by Brian, the baby playing holly saw her actual mother and called out to her and Brian reacted accordingly to it
Killing Mike was what I was appaled by the most. I just couldn't forgive Walt for that. Especially since he was on his way to retirement and a quiet little future and Walt took that away from him despite being able to get the list from Linda
Angela's death and Jane's haunt me to this day because thier were kinda brutal as hell they were completely innocent and died on a horrific way because of the drama thier partners had and the boyh were actually really sweet caring yet tortured souls 💔
For #6, About Walter strangling Krazy-8 and poisoning Emilio, I think it was completely fine. When Walter had to cook in front of Krazy-8 and Emilio, both of them had a gun, so I would've done the same thing if I was Walter (how he made the chemicals explode and poison them). + When Walter found out that Krazy-8 had the broken piece of plate, He kept on saying "Why are you doing this?" because he did NOT want to kill Krazy-8, but knows that he'll get killed if he lets him go. It was all self defense except for the kidnapping part, to me, at least. This may start a war but oh well, It's my opinion.
True, like he just protected his familly when he killed gus. Also he poisoned kid for a good reason, killed crazy 8 in selfdefense, he didn't force Jessie to kill Gale cuz they needed to kill him to protect themselves, also he killed dealers to save Jessie so the most of stuff aren't even that bad cuz he did it for a reason dude
The only show where the hero and the villain are on the same team. The only show where where we wanna hate the villain but we always fall in love with him despite the horrible horrible things that he has done through out the show. I love Breaking Bad.
So many of these are nowhere near the worst things: • Krazy 8 was going to kill Walter and his entire family if he didn’t kill him first. • Blowing up Tuco’s headquarters hurt literally no one and was him standing up for Jesse’s pain and suffering. • Blowing up the old peoples home didn’t hurt any innocents. Tyrus and Gus had to go and Hector wanted to go. • Walter kidnapped Holly to let Skyler seem innocent The one that shouldn’t be in this list at all is Walter killing the two drug dealers. Walter saved Jesse’s life and destroyed his stable future with Gus. He could’ve let Jesse die and continued to make millions working with Gus.. To name a few awful ones: • After everything they’ve been through, Walter allowed Jesse to be captured by freaking Nazi’s. • Walter purposefully contacting Andrea and Brock to lure Jesse out in the open, so he can be killed by Nazi’s. • Letting Jane die. • Poisoning Brock • Manipulating Jesse to remove Andrea and Brock from his life so he could focus on meth making. • Blackmailing Skyler after she sent the kids to Hank and Marie. • Luring his neighbour into his house, which could’ve been a death trap. • Not telling his mother he had cancer. • Ordering the prison killings. • Killing Mike • Showing no grief and literally whistle after Drew Sharp’s death. • Making a false confession tape blaming Hank for everything. • Lure Hank away from the RV by telling Marie was in the hospital. Etc. Etc. Etc..
The worst thing for me would be Walt telling Jesse that he intentionally let Jane die. He didn't have anything to win from it, it was completely unnecessary, he just wanted Jesse to suffer.
Don't know why everyone likes Mike, he was just as bad as the rest of them and he deserved to go, he was to kill walter long back but walt survived by killing gale, he deserves no respect he was just a dog for Gus
@mickie Krazy-8 was about to execute Walt & Jesse in the desert. And he was a direct threat to Walt & his family. Mike was indeed a cold-blooded killer, but Walt had no reason to kill him other than his rage/ego. It shows how low Walt has fallen, he became like Tuco sallamanca, who also killed his associate for no reason.
Actually, Walter being the genius he is, used the kidnapping of the baby to protect his family. In the phone call with skyler that the police heard he made it sound like he threatened and completely abused and held violence over her and the family, getting the police to treat her as a victim and not a criminal.
It gets interesting when you remember Nacho in BCS responding to Don Eladio that the way he will use to make money to him is by taking the bikers' territory. Then you see a bunch of bikers in front of Tuco's HQ, who are friend of Nacho in BCS. This series doesn't let anything pass.
The Krazy8 situation was complicated. Krazy8 and Emilio wanted to kill Walt and Jesse because they thought he was a Dea angent. Poisoning them was a grey area, because it was self defense. There was no other alternative. But kidnapping him and then strangle him was an evil Action. They shouldve went to the police.
You know what's funny, I didn't realise that Walter could've saved Jane till he told Jesse in season 5, I thought he didn't want his fingerprints over the crime scene
Walt obviously didn’t have the best morality in his choices but you usually understood why he did it whether it was self-preservation or survival. The only thing I didn’t really like was when he killed Mike, I thought he deserved better
I had a similar experience like Jane. Not saying drugs are involved but hard drinks. If I didn't stop smoking my cigar outside my gf could've died. Seeing this in the show, gave me chills and you got to be deep mentally to let Jane die. No one would.
The thing is walt was good suffered from life , literally from everyone and became bad and Jesse was bad initially and literally everything changed him from inside
Well strictly in terms of the plot and the situations pictured - almost all of walt’s victims had it coming. The dealers were dead men walking anyway after the child situation, so was gus, gale’s death is on gus’s consioessneas not sure if in real life a situation like that would be possible, but as far as this series goes this is it, jane also had it coming - not only was she a drug addict which by itself put her at risk (walt actually didn’t have to be there) - she started playing a game with serious money that was not hers to play at all putting at risk a lot of people’s wellbeings be they criminal or not. She didn’t care and they did care, no criminal likes to be blackmailed and considering she was ok with the whole drugmoney situation you could say she was not innocent bystander
Besides all the murders and blah blah, Vince Gilligan, the creator of the show, said that the most evil thing Walt ever does is telling Jesse he let Jane die. Every other despicable thing has to some extent a motivation, and it just shows Walt's machiavellism. But this ? He does it purely to hurt, just out of spite, and there is 0 justification for it.
@Esad Akçakuş I'm not talking about letting her die, that was somewhat justifiable. But telling him, telling him was not necessary and it was simply said so he could break Jesse
Vlad Salbatecu Sure it was evil and cruel to tell Jesse. It was emotional revenge for Hanks death and the loss of his family, money and Empire. I also think here, he again lies. It was more Mr White in the Jane scene. He had a conscience, hence his tears. Had he not been there, she may well have OD'd anyway along with Jesse. She turned into a manipulative, threatening money monster herself. Her poor father and all those passengers are the innocents. I don't think he enjoyed watching her die at all. He saw logic in her death but I don't think he enjoyed it. He said that to rip Jessie's heart out to mimic the way he was feeling. Heisenberg got no enjoyment from watching or instigating deaths either. His joy was outwitting and staying steps ahead of those who wanted him dead or caught. Just my little opinion.
Blowing up Tuco's pad isn't a bad thing at all. In fact, he blew it up to guarantee that Tuco would pay for the pound of meth as well as Jesse's hospital bill. And as a added bonus, manages to scare Tuco enough to start taking Walt seriously.
I still just feel bad for Walter at some parts his Maine purpose of drug dealing from the start was to leave behind soemthing before he died from cancer which soon his treatments work and his cancer is all gone but what’s sadder is when his wife pulls a knife on him but his son calls and says Walt pulled it first
I disagree with the order a little bit but overall a decent list. Murdering Gus's dealers to save Jesse should be an honorable mention, while killing Mike was one of the worst things Walt did (top 3)... it was a kill that he likely didn't have to do for self preservation.
@hailey adkins Walter was about to free Krazy 8 and Krazy was very aware of it, he knew that if he didnt try to stab Walter he would have been freed but tried to stab him anyways
If you think Walt is a bad person just remember, he offered $80 million to spare Hank meanwhile Mr Krabs sold Spongebob for 62 cents
@Tiara Sewlal To save face? What? No, Walt gave the money away because he genuinely cared for Hank. I don't know how you came to that conclusion.
@Tiara Sewlal Walter had real love for Hank it’s like how even though u may hate your siblings guts deep down u still love them and he gave Jesse up because Jesse ruined his life and got his brother in law killed. He could’ve gotten away with everything and have a chance to fix the relationship with his wife
@Marjanne van der Bijl yeah for sure the same with Skylar and his children but he ultimately chose his ego over all of them. From season 1 it was escalating and he knew it could lead to this
When holly was saying “mama” that actually wasn’t planned and Cranston just went along with it, worked out perfect
I thought he was going to kill holly
Bravo Vince
Stop lying 🤣🤣💀💀👎🏾
@L K vince just knows how to build a series
This scene was devastating
Walt “kidnapped his daughter” because he wants to be seen as the mastermind/bad guy. Especially on the phone call with Skyler. He knew the call was recorded. He wanted to make sure Skyler was deemed innocent and had no idea about Walt’s doings.
Bro think he's pablo
@puiterken thats what you think, that was what it meant
@Phoenix Ace Skyler didn't trust in Walt anymore after all his lies, and Flynn acted based on his mother reaction, before that he didn't want to belive what his mother told to him about his father but after the fight scene he saw that his mom was in truly pain and that everything was true.
@Bleak Forest I disagree they really didn’t prove for sure that hank was killed by Walt I didn’t like the scene either it felt like Flynn turned a 180
how was _blowing up Tuco’s headquarters_ a more evil thing than intentionally murdering people?
Dide it’s Watch mojo. What did you expect. Brain isn’t something these people have a lot of.
@William chill man don't u see he s joking?
@OJrege he‘s obviously joking
@Nikola Manojlovic not as if tuco punched a guy to death for pretty much no reason. He is an angel wdym?
@William Jesse literally came uninvited and brought drugs into his home, he is lucky to be alive
"Killed Gus's dealers in cold blood" Lmao no, he was saving Jesse
Gale was an innocent person who hadn’t harmed anyone and wasn’t in the middle of harming anyone. Jesse being ripped up about killing him makes sense. It might have been his only choice to save himself and Walt, but certainly a difficult decision. Walt killed two guys who had murdered a child and were about to kill his friend. His composure about it made sense. If killing someone was necessary and right, one does not need to feel remorseful about it.
@Best Metal and Rock Lists You do not understand the meaning behind "killing in cold blood". It's not about whether the killing was necessary or no/to protect himself and others or no, it is that he killed them with no remorse whatsoever, not feeling anything after running over a man and shooting another in the head, unlike Jesse when killing Gale, he showed remorse, he did not kill him in cold blood.
ah yes to save a junkie and ruin his relationship with Gus which ultimately led to both his and Gustavo's demise.
I was literally cheering, not disgusted, when Walter ran over and killed those dealers. It was justice service for killing a kid.
Season 1 Walt vs Jesse: “GET OFF THE TOILET!!”
Season 5 Walt vs Jesse: “I watched Jane die... I could’ve saved her... but I didn’t”
@SweetKandi poetic justice
@Akram Berrouba he could have just pushed her to her side so she wouldn't suffocate on her own vomit
Well even if hé called 911 it was late for her and Jess wloud have gone to prison so l think Walter did thé righte thing
@see2saw gee i wonder why
jesse could have saved walt, but left him to die..
Best comparison I’ve ever seen in this show is how Walt was a criminal acting like a good man and Jesse was a good man acting like a criminal
@William Wilson bro walt forced him to do that. Do you guys even watch the series
No. Jessie is the reason Walt did A LOT of the subsequent actions in the series.
@William Wilson he had to to save his partner. plus he was extremely hesitant on doing. plus it wrecked him. a bad person does bad things continuously and feels bad after doing it again. jesse is extremely hurt by it
jesse a good man?
Was Jesse a good man
I wouldn't count killing Crazy 8 as one of the worst things he's done. He was considering to let him go until he realised Crazy was going to stab him right after being released.
And Crazy-8 held him at gun point
fact
The guy was about to murder him in the desert and he still considered letting him go.
I definitely think enslaving jesse, or the way he treated jesse all together the entire show is probably the worst thing he had done. Walter genuinely loved Jesse as a son. Literally once calling his own son "jesse" by mistake. But at the same time, I dont think Walter is truly capable of loving someone
I think cold blooded murder is slightly worse than the mistreatment of one individual
@Gabby Campos He didn't tell him out of pride, it was out of spite because he blamed him for Hank's death. He also thought the Nazis would kill him (after trying a lot to talk him out of it), not enslave him. I don't blame Jesse for his actions, hell they are very understandable, but Walter loved Jesse, that was apparent.
@Talha and He gifted Brook that Jesse didnt Go in Gustavo Side
@Bodha Bhargav No Walter was the Problem
@Terrell Durocher Monster under human skin.
Fun fact:
Holly saying "Mama" was unscripted. Cranston went with it, and it was perfect.
nah thats bs
Bravo Vince
Top tens about Jessie: “worst things that happened to Jessie”
Top tens about Walter: “worst things Walter has done”
Bruhhh i was literally thinking the same thing before I read your comment while watching jesses video lmao
@A Person Jesse messed up everything. So…
@Siratshi He is better than Walter. First of all his crimes are much less heinous, and he actually has some sort of a moral compass at least
@Mer Gat Cause people are bad spellers
Jesse did do some bad shit too...nowhere even near as bad as Walter but he was guilty of a lot of things
Killing Krazy-8 is kind of self defense. He actually thought of releasing him at first. Also the reason why he tells he watched Jane die to Jesse has a meaning from Walt’s perspective at that moment of time during the shootout. It is like “If you haven’t helped Hank, he would have been alive” type of feeling.
Call me a monster, but I would have killed Crazy-8 even if he didn't try stabbing me.
He actually says it for 2 reasons, one that he can't have that guilt forever, second is that he wanted Jesse to know he cared for him, and his stability, along with having him around as a crime partner.
damn never looked at it that way
#1. Leaving the damn book in the bathroom
I know I wish Hank just read one of those magazines instead
They were almost home free
#1 marrying skyler
Karma finds its way, the writers did an amazing job ☺️
Bryan Cranston is such an amazing actor. The progression of this character is amazing
Can we get Cranston as William Afton for the FNAF movie?
4:50 He definitely didn't murder him in "cold blood". He, in fact, showed a lot of remorse after the fact, and was extremely hesitant beforehand, too. He was likely going to let him go before he saw the missing plate piece.
Bro literally had tears running down his face and was crying after it happened
exactly. at that point he was still just Walt
One of the best characters in the history of fiction. With each episode he slipped further from the path of good. By the final season, Walter White was gone and Heisenberg had taken over. He was practically a supervillain. And in spite of everything... I still managed to sympathise with him. I still saw in him a good man who was trying to make the best of a bad situation. That's how good Bryan Cranston's performance is.
I think one of the reasons this show is so addicting is because we are watching Walt continuously become evil and we are just waiting and waiting for those moments where we can see him more like his old sensible self. Especially later on in the series. The acting is so good because it makes you still feel some sort of sympathy for the man even though he was responsible for 200 lives by the end of the show.
I don't think #8 is a valid point, Walt didn't "force" Jesse to kill Gale.
The original plan was Walt doing it himself and Jesse had no problem handing Gale's adress to him.
Why? Because he knew from the start that Gale needed to be gone in order for Gus to spare their lives.
In the end, Walt told him to do it because he was held hostage by Mike and Jesse obeyed.
But not because Walt forced him to, because he knew they'd both be killed if he didn't.
Walt was trying to save himself. He was cornered an about to die lmao. I guarantee he didn’t care about jesse in the moment. Lucky enough for Walt, jesse saved him. I see that as one of the few and rare instances where Jesse actually saves Walt in this series. Showing that Jesse still cared about his partner
And cuz he owed him.
@Rik James they’re breakdowns are horrible, literally here just for the clips lmao
@Rik James true. Walt always care about Jesse.
True.
Very convinced that Watchmojo has no idea what they're talking about.
#1 Declining Jesse's offer to ride go karts
It sadder that Jesse looks like a toddler with his goofy oversized helmet
Saddest moment in the entire show
That really got under my skin.
@Lilsloppynutsack ikr I felt so bad
#1 Not buying a laser tag with Saul
How sad is it to see that even his baby daughter doesn't acknowledge him. What a heart-breaking tragedy of a man dying litterally and morally in the process
Killing Gale was such a smart move that bought him just enough time
@Anatol de Nevers Gale wasn't as innocent as he is often portrayed. He was completely fine making a highly addictive drug that tears people's lives apart for an organization he would have known was extremely violent and brutal, and he rationalized it by being a libertarian. Gale was complicit in the exact same kind of things we rightfully vilify Walter for. The only difference is that Walt was willing to do them directly, while Gale was happy to let Gus and Gus' henchmen take care of them so he could feel like his hands were cleaner. Gale wasn't stupid, he would have known what drug dealers have to do to maintain their drug empires.
Edit: The first version of this comment came across a little hostile, which I didn't intend.
@Madhands I literally said aside from what he was making.
@Anatol de Nevers He never directly hurt someone except making the most dangerous drugs that kills people everyday. you cant be serious.
@Anatol de Nevers walt wasn't as innocent as gale was but i was saying that *if* you hold walt immoral on the basis of that buisness, then that implies that gale was immoral too
"... Luckily no one was harmed."
Ah yes, Hector managed to stand up and run away as the bomb exploded, the bodyguard just dematerialised and of course Gus died for comedic effect.
Luckily no one was harmed.
I think they meant no one besides them (which includes employees and patients)
Walt beraying Jessie and then telling him he let Jane die I thought was the ultimate worst thing he did to Jessie.
^ guys it’s JESSE. He’s a man not a woman.
Jessie killed her. He got her back on drugs and they had a bad drug binge. Walt walked in on her choking on her own vomit and let it happen... Even if he wasn't there, she would've died anyway. Also, Jessie getting her back on drugs then led Jane's father to mess up at work, causing an airplane crash.
Jessie once again messing up everything and blaming Walt for his own actions.
walt betrayed jessie tf? he litellary sniched him
Walt let her die because of her influence to Jesse. Yes he got her back on drugs but she got Jesse into heroin and blackmailed Walt into giving them money which they clearly would've wasted all of it on drugs. If she survived the money would've been gone quick and if they didn't die from an od soon after, they would've been like the couple that stole from skinny pete
i mean he thouhh jesse wanted to kill him so its an eye for an eye typ situation so i understand it ..and jesse played a big role in hanks death so
Luckily no one else got hurt in the nursing home. Tyrus- "Um helloooo!" haha.
Tyrus seemed like such a wasted character imo. Victor didn’t have much personality either but at least his last episode helped add some character. Tyrus barely said a dang word the entire show
They need the news describe him as a possible cartel member? Didn’t even name Tyrus on the news, he was not at the Pollos standards
me and the homies all hate tyrus, mans looks weird no offence
Haha
Not only did Walt convince Salamanca to kill Gus, he convinced Salamanca to kill himself too. Genius!
He was gonna die anyway, he just wanted to take Gus with him
he was already about to die
@Akash Verghese He didn't have to convince Salamanca at all or he barely did, Hector had nothing left to live for his entire family was dead and he was stuck alone in a nursing home confined to a wheelchair unable to even speak. He, a man with nothing left to live for has a chance to kill the man that's responsible for the death of his family the man he hates most, of course he's gonna take it he didn't need any convincing.
@Akash Verghese what?
You cant deny it tho, he really thought of everything. Even when everyone knew about his plans,intentions and what he has already done they couldnt kill him because they knew he had already taken so much from them already. Walter is just big brain
The craziest thing about breaking bad is that Walter and Jesse could have lived a longer drug dealing life once they teamed up with Gustavo but Walt always wanted that power and felt Gustavo was a threat but really Gustavo was as much of a threat as he thought
tbf gus did try to kill him after he killed their dealers, and he definitely killed tomas, walt just couldn't build up trust after the fact and was convinced that he needed to kill gus or he'd die after that, even after gus and mike warmed up to jesse and gus fired him (although gus shouldn't have tried to intimidate him)
#1 forgetting Hank’s soda
😂😂😂
these comments Are too funny man
The thing with Crazy 8 was actually a very grey area because the man attempted to kill him and it was very likely that he would come back to kill Walt if he let him go, even if he left in peace to begin with. It’s crazy to see how Walt went from struggling to kill someone that would’ve killed him without hesitation to killing completely innocent people.
I think one of the worse things Walt has done was when Jack is about to kill Hank, he told him about his money being buried in the desert where he could’ve simply told him that he wouldn’t cook for Jack and his crew if he killed Hank since that’s what they wanted from Walt
Would Hank have lived on with that? NO WAY. Hank didn't want mercy from assholes, so he'd die a martyr anyway.
true man
Without a doubt,
#1 throwing pizza on the roof
I thought that was hilarious!
Fun fact: that's a real house in NM and the people who live there are absolutely bugshit crazy from fans of the show throwing pizzas on their roof.
You must be Italian
@Darius Farrel omg😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like how she said “shows how far he’s willing to go for #1” as if gus didn’t threaten his family
Exactly lol. Walt himself wasn't actually in immediate danger, it was Hank who was.
The worst moment for me is when Walt betrayed Jesse to Jack and then spitefully admit that he let Jane die. Also intentionally poisoning Andrea’s son Brock was a sickening thing for Walt to do.
#1. Not cutting the crust off crazy 8s sandwich
@Dainius Jacevicius no, it’s mentioned that he hates the crust,
He cut it tho
Krazy 8*
Maybe he liked the crust.
That's a crime
Gus' reaction right before the explosion is so real that it almost makes you feel bad
People forget that not only did Walt WATCH Jane die, but he physically turned her on her back for her to choke. If he wasn’t there, she likely would’ve puked on her side and survived
#1 Using Bodgan's first ever $1 bill for the soda machine.
AS IT IS !!!!
Nah that shit was cold
I like how Bogdan went all the way to framed that dollar just to see Walt recklessly smashed it to the edge of the desk like that frame is blocking in his way. That scene was satisfying to watch for me.
Nah he was trying to overwork an employee that fainted and diagnosed with cancer in the hospital
yes!!
1-10: having a massive ego that made him refuse financial help from his former partners and starting this whole mess in the first place.
YEAH I FORGOT ABT THAT
@Astronomical334 If he'd taken the money Skyler, Walter Jr and Holly would have been set for life after Walt died of his cancer. If he hadn't been so prideful he'd never have had to cook meth.
So not accepting help makes him bad how does that compare to the shit on the list he’s done
That's self respect
@Eric No they didn't. He broke up with Gretchen because he couldn't handle that she was richer than him. He chose to leave Gray Matter and only made up the "They stole my money and never gave me credit" story because his ego couldn't take the fact that him being insecure caused him to leave the company before it was successful.
I feel like the worst thing Walt did isn't a one time singular thing. If you watch the show again, the amount of times Walt rants on Jessie about how terrible and shitty he is is astonishing. It's pretty much every episode. And it is always uncalled for. He is so brutal to Jessie, just tears him down constantly for no reason. He physically assaults him multiple times. It makes my blood boil.
That and poisoning the kid.
I feel like this list came from googling random "badass" moments. Murdering Gus's people? He was saving Jessie. Yes those were crazy things Walt did but they weren't the worst. It wasn't those things that made him evil.
Killing crazy 8 and blowing up Tuco's place and even making Jessie kill Gale aren't his worst offenses either. Those were decisions he felt forced to make based on the situation he found himself in after being a piece of shit. It's the smaller things, like lying constantly to his wife and not even feeling bad. Lying to his son. Missing his child's birth. Letting Jane die. Manipulating everyone in his whole life. Forcing his son to drink until he pukes. *RAPING his wife at one point*. People ignore these little things and they, to me, were the worst because they had nothing to do with his safety or the "job".
#1. Lifting the barrel of Methylamine instead of rolling it to the car.
I’m get very upset every time i see Walt killing Mike🥺
@Nakul K Rejimon nah, Jane became a problem later
4:38- He wanted to spare him but he saw that Krazy is going to kill him first , so he did it to protect himself.
#1 Changing Hector’s television program
Can’t take away his mammitas 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Pls explain
love it lol
😂😂😂😂
i think letting jane die was worse than poisoning brock. he knew it wasn't gonna kill him. of course it's still very messed up, but he didn't actually use the deadly poison
4:23 HOLY SHIT I NEVER REALIZED HOW CHUBBY JESSE LOOKED THERE. It makes sense though. At that point he had been clean and staying with Hank. So of course it would make sense that he would put on a little weight. Just goes to show how phenomenally the writer’s, creators and everyone who worked on this show was. 👏🏻
It probably could’ve had a relatively happy ending if Jesse never tried to sell Andrea meth, thus falling in love with her, and then getting involved with tomaz, then giving Walt a reason to kill the dealers, giving him a reason to kill Gus, turning him into a very bad person
This character is so well written than everytime I was like " Damn he's a bastard ... but actually he's doing the right thing !"
Early on, yeah. But nearing towards the end, it was not at all the right thing. He admitted that everything he ever did, throughout the whole series, was all for himself. More so than the original "plan": to secure his family's finances. He did it all cuz it awoke him into feeling alive
Bryan did an exceptional acting for this series, he’s imo the best actor ever, I love the breaking bad universe so bad
How can you leave out killing Mike, luring his neighbor into a possible deathtrap and the confession tape about Hank?
@SuperDuperDonutDude More innocent than those drug dealers who used a kid for sure and they made the list
The confession tape was the second worst imo because it could only come from an evil machiavellian mastermind.
@ricardo Ricardo In the finale of season 4 he sends his neighbour into his home to see if there are gus's men inside
Leon Paelinck you forgot Mike tried to kill Walt because Gus told him to
There should be a list of Jesse's worst moments... breaks my heart how he suffered.
There is
Killing krazy-8 wasn’t in cold blood, he found out that he was gonna kill him with that plate if he let him go. And also you could tell when he was looking for all of the pieces of the plate, he didn’t want to kill anyone due to the expression on his face.
I think Vince Gilligan once said the worst thing Walter did was tell Jesse he watched Jane choke to death. His reasoning was because of how sadistic of a move it was. He had no reason to tell Jesse that other than wanting to watch him suffer.
Lilly of the Valley is one of my favourite plants and there is a scene before Jesse revealed to Walt about the real poison where Walt is shown sitting at the table by the swimming pool turning his pistol on the table and you can see the pot with the plant in the background. The third time he turns the pistol, the pistol ends facing the pot with the plant. I could immediately identify the plant (I even said to myself, oh a lilly of the valley) and later when Jesse revealed to Walt about the poison I thought immediately of that scene.
What makes that scene with holly saying mama so great is that it was completely improv by Brian, the baby playing holly saw her actual mother and called out to her and Brian reacted accordingly to it
What Breaking Bad teaches us: To pay teachers more
well that's all about with BB
@Ziolek2000 First of all, those don’t work. Second of all, money was barely a problem, it was Walt’s ego.
@North Coast Models healthcare isn’t greedy,the government is the one who’s greedy,the healthcare is good is fine with what it has.
and how greedy our healthcare system is. He would never had done it if he wasn't diagnosed of cancer.
2:40 Watching this now, as a father, it broke my heart...
Killing Mike was what I was appaled by the most. I just couldn't forgive Walt for that. Especially since he was on his way to retirement and a quiet little future and Walt took that away from him despite being able to get the list from Linda
#1 Calling Mike’s $800 microphones “these things”
Wow I remember watching every new episode weekly as they released. Great series and show in general. This takes me back to memory lane.
Angela's death and Jane's haunt me to this day because thier were kinda brutal as hell they were completely innocent and died on a horrific way because of the drama thier partners had and the boyh were actually really sweet caring yet tortured souls 💔
#1 when walt found out combo died and he said "which one was that?"
@Aditya Bhattacharya stg when I seen who the “hit men” were I instantly thought of Combo 🥲
That one had me dying
So what? combo was a PoS
Bro i’m not gonna lie...I was thinking the same thing as walter😂
@Aditya Bhattacharya LMFAO
For #6, About Walter strangling Krazy-8 and poisoning Emilio, I think it was completely fine. When Walter had to cook in front of Krazy-8 and Emilio, both of them had a gun, so I would've done the same thing if I was Walter (how he made the chemicals explode and poison them). + When Walter found out that Krazy-8 had the broken piece of plate, He kept on saying "Why are you doing this?" because he did NOT want to kill Krazy-8, but knows that he'll get killed if he lets him go. It was all self defense except for the kidnapping part, to me, at least. This may start a war but oh well, It's my opinion.
Also, for Walter killing Gus's Dealers, If you played the clip again, they pulled the gun on Jesse first.
You know you're in for quite a list when #10 is blowing the face off one of the best antagonists in TV history.
True, like he just protected his familly when he killed gus. Also he poisoned kid for a good reason, killed crazy 8 in selfdefense, he didn't force Jessie to kill Gale cuz they needed to kill him to protect themselves, also he killed dealers to save Jessie so the most of stuff aren't even that bad cuz he did it for a reason dude
Gale was certainly a bizarre character to say the least! Despite how academically competent he was, the video of him singing was hysterical.
The only show where the hero and the villain are on the same team. The only show where where we wanna hate the villain but we always fall in love with him despite the horrible horrible things that he has done through out the show. I love Breaking Bad.
#1: smoking Jesse’s weed without paying him back.
How about tricking his neighbor, Becky, to enter his house knowing it could be a deathtrap?
Oh yeah. I thought she was abt to get popped
@Jurgen Padilla It wasnt the twins. The twins were dead long before this.
"Yes, cats are..."
Lol
@Jurgen Padilla It wasn't the twins in the house. This was loooong after the twins were already dead.
So many of these are nowhere near the worst things:
• Krazy 8 was going to kill Walter and his entire family if he didn’t kill him first.
• Blowing up Tuco’s headquarters hurt literally no one and was him standing up for Jesse’s pain and suffering.
• Blowing up the old peoples home didn’t hurt any innocents. Tyrus and Gus had to go and Hector wanted to go.
• Walter kidnapped Holly to let Skyler seem innocent
The one that shouldn’t be in this list at all is Walter killing the two drug dealers. Walter saved Jesse’s life and destroyed his stable future with Gus. He could’ve let Jesse die and continued to make millions working with Gus..
To name a few awful ones:
• After everything they’ve been through, Walter allowed Jesse to be captured by freaking Nazi’s.
• Walter purposefully contacting Andrea and Brock to lure Jesse out in the open, so he can be killed by Nazi’s.
• Letting Jane die.
• Poisoning Brock
• Manipulating Jesse to remove Andrea and Brock from his life so he could focus on meth making.
• Blackmailing Skyler after she sent the kids to Hank and Marie.
• Luring his neighbour into his house, which could’ve been a death trap.
• Not telling his mother he had cancer.
• Ordering the prison killings.
• Killing Mike
• Showing no grief and literally whistle after Drew Sharp’s death.
• Making a false confession tape blaming Hank for everything.
• Lure Hank away from the RV by telling Marie was in the hospital.
Etc. Etc. Etc..
I think Walter not feeling any guilt after a plane crashed as a consequence of his actions should be there too
I love the single tear drop down the cheek from Walt right before he kills Krazy 8
The worst thing for me would be Walt telling Jesse that he intentionally let Jane die. He didn't have anything to win from it, it was completely unnecessary, he just wanted Jesse to suffer.
Him poisoning a 6 year old kid broke my heart
So killing krazy 8 its on the list but killing Mike is just an honorable mention?
@Rin Matsuoka although he killed mike cause his ego was hurt, mikes death was just walt being petty
Don't know why everyone likes Mike, he was just as bad as the rest of them and he deserved to go, he was to kill walter long back but walt survived by killing gale, he deserves no respect he was just a dog for Gus
yeah, horrible list
@mickie Krazy-8 was about to execute Walt & Jesse in the desert. And he was a direct threat to Walt & his family. Mike was indeed a cold-blooded killer, but Walt had no reason to kill him other than his rage/ego. It shows how low Walt has fallen, he became like Tuco sallamanca, who also killed his associate for no reason.
Yeah he killed Mike for his ego while he killed Domingo in self defense (sort of)
Actually, Walter being the genius he is, used the kidnapping of the baby to protect his family. In the phone call with skyler that the police heard he made it sound like he threatened and completely abused and held violence over her and the family, getting the police to treat her as a victim and not a criminal.
It gets interesting when you remember Nacho in BCS responding to Don Eladio that the way he will use to make money to him is by taking the bikers' territory. Then you see a bunch of bikers in front of Tuco's HQ, who are friend of Nacho in BCS. This series doesn't let anything pass.
It's either Walter White's family or the world. Forever a Breaking Bad fan ❤️
The Krazy8 situation was complicated. Krazy8 and Emilio wanted to kill Walt and Jesse because they thought he was a Dea angent. Poisoning them was a grey area, because it was self defense. There was no other alternative. But kidnapping him and then strangle him was an evil Action. They shouldve went to the police.
You know what's funny, I didn't realise that Walter could've saved Jane till he told Jesse in season 5, I thought he didn't want his fingerprints over the crime scene
#1 Calling Brandon “Beaver” instead of “Badger”
Walt was lucky, otherwise he would be at the mercy of one of the two best hitmen west of Mississippi
💀
@Abram Sullivan I think S5 E13? Or S5 E12.
I cracked up when he said Beaver 😂😂😂.
I honestly forgot badger had a real name lmao
Walt obviously didn’t have the best morality in his choices but you usually understood why he did it whether it was self-preservation or survival. The only thing I didn’t really like was when he killed Mike, I thought he deserved better
I had a similar experience like Jane. Not saying drugs are involved but hard drinks. If I didn't stop smoking my cigar outside my gf could've died. Seeing this in the show, gave me chills and you got to be deep mentally to let Jane die. No one would.
she was so annoying and manipulating jesse she made him a heroin addict she basically tried to end jesse's life cuz she wanted someone to company her
I would
The thing is walt was good suffered from life , literally from everyone and became bad and Jesse was bad initially and literally everything changed him from inside
Fun fact, holly wasn’t supposed to say momma, she wanted her actual mother and that was unscripted, but it worked so well that they kept it in
Well strictly in terms of the plot and the situations pictured - almost all of walt’s victims had it coming. The dealers were dead men walking anyway after the child situation, so was gus, gale’s death is on gus’s consioessneas not sure if in real life a situation like that would be possible, but as far as this series goes this is it, jane also had it coming - not only was she a drug addict which by itself put her at risk (walt actually didn’t have to be there) - she started playing a game with serious money that was not hers to play at all putting at risk a lot of people’s wellbeings be they criminal or not. She didn’t care and they did care, no criminal likes to be blackmailed and considering she was ok with the whole drugmoney situation you could say she was not innocent bystander
Besides all the murders and blah blah, Vince Gilligan, the creator of the show, said that the most evil thing Walt ever does is telling Jesse he let Jane die.
Every other despicable thing has to some extent a motivation, and it just shows Walt's machiavellism. But this ? He does it purely to hurt, just out of spite, and there is 0 justification for it.
@Esad Akçakuş I'm not talking about letting her die, that was somewhat justifiable. But telling him, telling him was not necessary and it was simply said so he could break Jesse
she literally betrayed her own father and tried to ruin her boyfriends life nah man she deserved everything
I disagree.. She was taking drugs and encouraging Jessie to do it too.. Waler knew both would be eventually dead because of drugs..So he saved Jessie.
There was 0 justification for killing Mike as well
Vlad Salbatecu Sure it was evil and cruel to tell Jesse. It was emotional revenge for Hanks death and the loss of his family, money and Empire. I also think here, he again lies. It was more Mr White in the Jane scene. He had a conscience, hence his tears. Had he not been there, she may well have OD'd anyway along with Jesse. She turned into a manipulative, threatening money monster herself. Her poor father and all those passengers are the innocents. I don't think he enjoyed watching her die at all. He saw logic in her death but I don't think he enjoyed it. He said that to rip Jessie's heart out to mimic the way he was feeling. Heisenberg got no enjoyment from watching or instigating deaths either. His joy was outwitting and staying steps ahead of those who wanted him dead or caught. Just my little opinion.
Fun fact: Holly saying “mama” wasn’t scripted. The baby was actually calling for her mother.
Walt didn't try to poison Krazy-8 at all like you say, he realises him picking up a portion of the broken plate while he was unconscious.
#1 showing the hitmen where Jessie's last girlfriend and Brock lived and then leaving Jessie captive with them having that information
Blowing up Tuco's pad isn't a bad thing at all. In fact, he blew it up to guarantee that Tuco would pay for the pound of meth as well as Jesse's hospital bill. And as a added bonus, manages to scare Tuco enough to start taking Walt seriously.
I still just feel bad for Walter at some parts his Maine purpose of drug dealing from the start was to leave behind soemthing before he died from cancer which soon his treatments work and his cancer is all gone but what’s sadder is when his wife pulls a knife on him but his son calls and says Walt pulled it first
#1 calling Hank's minerals "rocks"
🤣
JESUS CHRIST MARIE THEY’RE MINERALS
@Clinton Fernandes lol
Jesus Marie ..they are not rocks!
#0 Actually :)
1:49 he did soo to save Skylar from Dea.
As Holly was kidnapped,they thought that Skylar was just a victim.
The first time Walt killed someone was in self defence though, it shows how far he has yet to evolve when he pains over having to kill a bad guy
You forgot when he let Jesse’s first girlfriend die, he caused 100+ more deaths later on!
I think throwing the pizza on the roof was more of a bad thing then blowing up Tuco's headquarters to be honest
I disagree with the order a little bit but overall a decent list. Murdering Gus's dealers to save Jesse should be an honorable mention, while killing Mike was one of the worst things Walt did (top 3)... it was a kill that he likely didn't have to do for self preservation.
Ahh, the good old days of Breaking Bad.... Missed very much!!
We still got 1 more year of Saul! Stay tuned
Season 1 and 2 (for the most part) were more comedic in comparison to the rest of the series.
AL Drum theta re planing to make a movie! Btw I met RJ mitte at my school! He is so nice! I took pictures with him! And talked to him!
Still he went out like a boss - even if almost half of his body was missing :D :).
I miss it to
Bryan Cranston...Legend...🔥🔥🔥
Cold blood killing is apparently when a dude is trying to kill you with a broken plate and when 2 guys have guns drawn on your partner
@hailey adkins Walter was about to free Krazy 8 and Krazy was very aware of it, he knew that if he didnt try to stab Walter he would have been freed but tried to stab him anyways
you do realize he was holding krazy 8 hostage??? you’d do the same thing if someone had kidnapped you
Imagine watching this list without seeing the show 😂
