    Gus's fatal flaw was his failure to realize he could have won by doing nothing. Just running his restaurants would have saved him from the Hector bomb. Hector would have wasted away, sucking down jello, while thinking of Nacho. Gus was a lot like Wal-Turd that way. Wal-Turd could have won by accepting what his former Gray Matter partners offered him in terms of money and health care and letting Hank agree to care for his family after he dies - Show over in five minutes.

      @@Succcccccccccccc that’s the one thing he’d never give up. His dignity to never speak to the federales. If he gets one up on Fring he’ll do it any other way, plus Fring would kill Hector before he could say anything useful to the DEA, it would be useless and a death sentence.

    You should provide a scenario where Gus decided to help Jesse kill those drug dealers at the cost of Jesse no longer working with Walt and can’t cook or sell meth again. Gus will pay him for his time so he doesn’t talk or want to be desperate for money.
    Would it work?

    Gus reminds me of Captain Ahab from Moby Dick or Max Cady from Cape Fear. He is a revenge based villain. Like Captain Ahab and Max Cady, he could have won and survived by doing nothing.

    I disagree. Gus was still logical, he just had emotional motives. Also, every great man will collapse eventually.

    • @thedefinitiveopinion
      @thedefinitiveopinion  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Then I don't think you actually disagree 😂! Of course, Gus clearly operated logically at times (with children, for example, showing a lack of empathy to help further his plan). We were just making the point that his foundation is emotional and it's what eventually led to his downfall! Thanks for watching and we appreciate you commenting your thoughts so we could clarify!
