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

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

p.s. - The background track is "Convicted" by Keith Anthony Holden. :)

Walt is a narcissist. Gus is a psychopath.

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

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

What’s the song in the background ?

Very good video, but the background music was too loud

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My mans made 2 vids then bounced

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

This guy was probably really good in English class

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

My fucking favorite analysis of the whole series

What is the song name playing in this video?

Nice try but no. There were some out here who were supporting and rooting for Hank and his colleagues in the DEA. We understood why Walter was behaving the way he was but having spent a life in the service of their community, as veterans, teachers, etc. Would rather die than break bad! I am halfway through a twenty year death sentence of kidney disease. I have the medical and chemical knowledge to make far more money than either Gus or Walt. So why not break bad, leave my family with more money than my pathetic pensions will ever provide? The answer is very simple and if you watch Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and El Camino, then don't get it. Seek professional help because you really need it.

I see Walt learn from Batman! 😂

Gus is neither straight nor white which instantly makes him better than walter. Fuck nazis.

Vrabo Bince!!

Gus : Ego without an Ego
Walter : Ego With an Ego
Me : I dunno but Saul gotta go .
Hector : 🛎

Walter White was Heisenbergs alter ego.

Bless you

Walter White VS Gus Fring

Breaking Bad was really about the neverending rivalry between Chemistry Majors VS Business Majors.

Dih

I wish people would stop simping for breaking bad so hard, its a good show but a perfect example of one of the worst writing in media, and everything suffers from it, it being that the protagonist must always win, in real world walter would be dead in a ditch somewhere

what song is this?

Gus was more in control of his actions, however, he has had more years in the game for experience.

I totally disagree, gustavo its not "better" Walter white, gus was beaten cause of his hate, gustavo is an variant of what walter could be.

A better walter white, is walter white without family.





Anyways I changed my mind, in series breaking bad, the only character who actually like walter white but better yeah

The top 2 things that brought Walts downfall were
#1 his pride and ego and #2 Jesse and his care for him

When Jesse killed Gus I cried Gus was such a sweetheart

great video!! as a person with auditory processing disorder, it might make you a little easier to understand if the background music was just slightly less loud. every time i heard the guitar in the background (mostly at the beginning when ur voice was lower and quieter) i was struggling to understand what you were saying :-(

What's the name of the song in the background?

.

This video would have been a lot more interesting if it was about Heisenberg and Gus instead of Walter and Gus, smh.

I got bored very quickly with the series. The setup establishes the entire show: He has cancer and makes meth [he's going to meet a bad end].

After watching Better Call Saul
It frustrates me that hector got the last laugh

Gale died, so that his star lives...

i never rooted for walter. the only reason i finished the show was because i wanted to see how walter got his comeuppance. and he never even got it. dog shit ending

If this videos good I’ll watch breaking bad that’s my promise rn

Edit: very well made but I can’t tell if it’s good or not bc idk what I’m watching guess I’ll have to watch the show to find out

bless you

Gus was flawed. His poor decisions lead to his death and failure. I don’t see how he can be a better Walter.

Honestly bruh I respect Gus allot more than Walt. Walt dug his own grave when interacting with Gus. Gus was willing to negotiate with Walter and meet unnecessary demands because he had an investment in him. Gus was literally gonna punish his men for killing a child that they had working. Sure he's kinda crazy but all you had to do to survive was just keep your head down and follow orders. Something that really urked me about Walt is that Gus was literally gonna let him go, no strings attached because of Jesse's empathy for him. But no he had to push him. He had to go further. No matter how many chances he's given to escape with his winnings he always chooses to go further into his pride. Fuck Walt bro honestly.

So they criminal, and you have corona
