Who is the best villain in the Breaking Bad Universe? (You can’t say lalo)
Gus
Jack or tuco
walter
Walter ( he didnt go with jesse to go carts
Ted
the most unrealistic part of this is walter actually having a change of heart and not trying some utterly insane crap like blowing up jesse's house to try and get him to cook again
I honestly think season 1 Walt probably would've had a change of heart he had doubts of killing crazy 8
Since Walt never went through his “Full Measures” development, he probably would’ve been more open to letting Jesse go.
Cmon i know hes petty but not that petty lol
What if Walter Jr had cancer instead of Walt, forcing Skyler to help Walt in his criminal activities much earlier than in canon?
That's genuinely 🔥 tho
Brilliant!
W
I might be giving Walt the benefit of the doubt here, but I think he would swallow his pride and take Elliot’s money if it was his son’s life on the line. But if he didn’t take the money or it wasn’t an option, that would be a very interesting what if.
@@travisreberto1295 I do agree that he would look much more closely at Elliot's offer, but I don't think it would be his first instinct. In the show Elliot only makes the offer near the end of Season 1, Walt and Skyler could still get into a lot of damage before that time, sort of forcing their hand to stay in the drug trade. And even with his son's life hanging in the air, I still think Walt would look for any other option before turning to Elliot. He'd be more likely to give in, but it would be his last resort.
Even with Gale and Hank dying and Gus having probably the worse possible fate, and Jimmy and Kim breaking up with little chance for Jimmy's redemption, this is still probably the best possible happy ending you have made.
I like that death for Gus
AND BADGER.
Mike got his happy ending. All I ever wanted
the what if where hank dies to the twins ends with like everyone happy but marie
What if Walter had done his job and knew his place
Then they would all be fine
But Him and His Pride and His Ego!
Then huell would be made reasonably happy
They’d all be fine right now
I read that in Mike’s voice
The best outcome of Mike killing Tuco is that Howard gets a happy ending. Now if only AMC would hire you to write this for an animated series.
One day
Breaking Bad: Walt If
@@kingDowahs *gus exploding noises*
I think your fanfics are a great example of something I heard regarding writing some time ago:
"You don't write a story, you write characters, a goal for them, and a world to pursue that goal in, and the story writes itself"
I feel the problem with most fanfics is they don't respect how the original characters work but you manage to do that time and time again and deliver amazing stories consistently
Ayyeeee I appreciate that and like the saying. Thank you for supporting the channel
For real. It's almost like running a D&D campaign. You have all these NPCs running around and doing things on this vast timeline and have to figure out how things happen. There are some major events that might always or often happen. Some depend on the characters (if you kill someone in that family, revenge will be served). Some things depend on exterior events (a huge storm for example).
What if during season 5 episode 13, when walt is driving as fast as he can to stop Jesse from burning his money, he was pulled over for speeding? I could see that change possibly having some huge impacts on the rest of the events in the show
I think I could do a mini what if on that?
Hank Steve and Jesse die of dehydration waiting for Walt in the desert.
Walt might be so reckless he keeps driving, maybe shoots at them, .
He just gets maced again for shits and giggles
That’d be so fucking funny ngl
What if Walter went go-karting with Jesse?
Nothing bad would have ever happened afterwards. Everyone would have a happy ending.

I'd love to see a What If for what if Nacho's plan to kill Hector had worked, and he ended up dying from the stroke?
hector not communicating to lalo changes a lot pre breaking bad
Gus doesn't vomit out the poison and dies among the cartel
Gustavo’s revenge: 😢
What if Chuck's survival lead to Jimmy not working with Walt?
Personally, I think if Chuck lived, Jimmy wouldn't feel the need to associate himself with a worse version of Chuck.
like saul said in the final episode on bcs walt wouldve been dead or behind bars within a month
1:57 You know, Mike is a hell of sniper, when he reloading a rifle in Mexico, and his target, Tuco, in restorant in Albuquerqe, miles away.
What if Tomas didn't kill Combo? Combo's death impacted so many key events that came after it, yet the moment itself is often forgotten about (but only because of how brilliant the rest of the show is in comparison)
What if Hank actually forces Walt to cook meth? (What if Walt was speaking the truth in the confession tape)
That would change the whole show because we knew Hank so well by that point. He would have had to be a completely different character
ngl a bit too far fetched, would be a completey different main character
@@RabbidTheNabbitthat's the point of an au tho
@@pirilon78 au is better when you change a specific thing that happens during the show rather than a massive thing that we wouldn't know the full details of anyway
Day 16 of asking for what if tuco killed Saul and the bikers in the desert
Then the story would end very early, and everyone will be alive.
The skaters
ZakDoowuh08 I know this was 8
months ago before he made that video
It's amazing how a simple action on the Breaking Bad universe can change the entirety of the story, this entire show is a literal butterfly effect!
How is this not a thing yet?
So what i wish for is: what if Gus realized the face-off Hector encounter was a set up and got out of there before Hector could kill him?
What if Walter White killed himself by driving in front of that 18-wheeler?
Spoiler: The saddest part of the end is that Kim realized Chuck was right about Jimmy all along.
What if Walter successfully rizzed up Carmen?
Oh wow ! That would be really interesting!
Lol he would’ve successfully had more women in the show than Jesse or anyone in the series
@@murgeproductions u should make a vid about this one ahaha
Here's an idea that I've always thought of when I first saw breaking bad: what if Walt offered to teach a meth cook (gale) when Gus first offerd the 3 million$ for 3 months of his time mid season 3. If Walt was actually smart and tried to still stear clear of the underworld as much as possible in addition to make the money, it would be an interesting scenario. Would gus let walt walk rather than kill him? Would walt still be found out? Mind you, you can make the argument that walt wouldn't do this due to his whole pride thing, but it's interesting nonetheless.
I like the idea, and it’s something I’ll put on my list
Just as a sidenote:
While a headshot is often depicted as instantly lethal, snipers generally aim for the heart, not the head.
Center of mass, if you miss you're still likely to hit them
Bro these videos are the best. Besides the creative story writing I think you would make for a great audio book narrator. I know sounds random but you do a great job of captivating an audience through character dialogues and story-telling.
Keep it up! Gonna hit 100k subs in no time at all
DUDE!!! thank you 🙏 seriously since I gained some success doing these videos I was to try my hand at being a book narrator so hey maybe coming sooner than you think
@@murgeproductions I'm rooting for ya bro!!! Seriously it's a rare skill to be able to narrate a story while also bringing each character to life in such a compelling and unique manner, while also portraying a wide array of emotions and voice shifts for each of them. I'm looking forward to your breakthrough into the audio-book world!
Also video editing on point as always. Be persistent and the grind is gonna pay off🙏💯
Most definitely! Appreciate your support
you could seriously pursue writing. if I was an exec I'd hire you. fanfic has a bad rep, you legit seem like you could have written professionally in a high-end production. I don't wanna fangirl but seriously, you're a clever cat. don't ever underestimate yourself mate, you're a far more talented writer than anyone in Hollywood - I've not seen anything better since Gran Torino, and that was 2008.
It's not about what you know, but who you know :/ salute for doing what you're doing.
Awww man! Thank you for the comment and I appreciate that, really! I never knew where this would go as far as writing, and not that I see what I’m capable of I want to get on board that train because your right! It’s been alot of garbage productions lately and I know I can do a far better job so I will, look for my name out in the movie credits lol
@@murgeproductionsaye I got faith in you bro, I've found one of your vids a few days ago and since then I'm addicted, they have the same level of story quality as the original 2 shows and I just can't stop watching your vids as I'm craving more Breaking Bad. After watching a lot I can indeed confirm that your story telling is top notch and if you were given an entire production you could take the world by storm with a new show or movie. Keep going bro, I know you have great potential to make it
Thank you!!!! I’m trying. But that’s the end goal
What if Jesse had actually left town after walt saved his life?
What if the Salamanca twins arrived at Tuco’s place either before Hank arrived or during the shoot out between Hank and Tuco.
So basically if mike just shot the guy it would basically be the good ending
WHAT IF ERNESTO NEVER WARNED JIMMY OF THE TAPE?
For once Jesse's survival doesn't mean everyone else dies
What if Combo never died
What if Walt didn't rescue Jesse from the gangbangers in time
What if Spooge killed Jesse
What if Emilio also survived
What if Walt survived in Felina
What if Gus failed to save Hector from the stroke
What if Don Eladio found out Gus's drink was poisonous
What if Mike was killed by the dirty cops
What if Chuck refused to get Jimmy out of jail
What if Chuck won the case against Saul
What if Saul was killed in the desert
What if Saul failed to get Lalo out of jail
What if Chuck actually believed in Jimmy instead of betraying him
What if Hank entered Jesse's private domicile
What if Walt never told Skyler about the second phone
What if Hank never found out Walt was Heisenberg
What if Hank actually looked in the bag
What if Skyler killed Walt in Ozymandians
What if Hank and Walt died in the car crash
What if Badger realized he was talking to an undercover cop
My guy doing the lords work, giving me some homework
Damn that's like half of all the suggestion ı wanted to make for this series
Good scenario ideas but the one where Walter fails to save Jesse from the gangbangers was already done in the video where Jesse didn't kill gale
I'll take a No. 13, please.
Saul shouldn't die in any scenario ever, he's untouchable and too goofy to die
The pill swap brings to mind a possible what if:
What if Gus not only found out about Nacho swapping the pills, he also decides to ask Nacho about why he tried to kill Hector and in turn resolve to have Nacho work under Gus as a mole, but more valued in a way similar to Tyrus and Victor?
What if combo survived the gunshot?
What if Hank got into the RV?
It’s awesome to see the whole story unfold like this. Keep up the great work man!
Thanks a ton!
No more half-stories, tuco.
I got one more left in me
lol, this was great, love these bonus episodes!!
You can probably piece all of your "what if's" into an interactive/branching choose your own adventure visual game.
That's the plan, just getting funding for something like that
@@murgeproductions whats the progress?
2 percent progross
Day 1 of asking for what if walter survived in felina
I have an ideas for this scenario:
walter escapes with jesse to find the rest of his money ( like in el camino )
he literally said he didn’t want to live any longer, so he’d either blow up the lab with him in it or get the police to kill him. or get the police to somehow blow up the lab with them AND him.
It's crazy how important Nacho was to the timeline.
Probably your best video so far, keep it going dude
Appreciate it, definitely will keep it up, thanks for the comment bro
Your storytelling and understanding of these characters is simply in a league of its own. The cast and writing of these shows is so immaculate that everyone can predict and understand how they'd act in any scenario, even heavily altered timelines and what you come up with is pretty believable.
This is one of the best fanfics u ever wrote since not only did you develop on existing characters, but you also made an unused character some depth. I imagine if Joaquin Salamanca was as threatening im the show as you made him here, he would be up with Lalo as a great villain. (Maybe with the depth of him being made fun of by others being the reason he seeks out to expose Gus)
the most underrated channel on yt with another banger, keep up the good work ❤
Appreciate that
You’re such a great writer man! Seriously impressive stuff! Actually feels like I’m watching a episode of the show with how perfectly you capture the characters and writing in general. Keep up the great work! Also I had a What If idea
“What If Walter’s Plan to Kill Gus Failed?”
Thanks for the comment bro, and I love the idea dude
THAT will have several darkly humorous moments! This scenario flit thru my brain during first watch; thanks for reminding me of it.
Hey Merge, this is another great video. I'd like to say that I really enjoy all of the videos and I try to watch as much as I can. I really wanted to compliment you on your video sequencing. That takes a lot of work. The clips that you play from each show really match the narration. I really appreciate you taking the time to make something so complete and entertaining. P.S, I noticed the Peter Mayhew reference. Are you a Star Wars fan haha?
Thanks dude and glad you can appreciate the craft. And yes Star Wars all day!
what if Tuco killed Mike while hitting him over the dent in the car?
That would’ve been funny
This is the only what if where Howard have his happy ending with his wife.
Scratch that, 2.
Mike only sabotages Hector after getting Tuco arrested. If Mike didn't get Tuco arrested, he would never have met Hector in the first place.
So everyone gets a happy ending except Jimmy. And Hank, and Gale, and Gus, and Nacho, and Kim, and Marie.
Wow, what a butterfly effect!
Damn, this is one of the best alternate story fanfics I have watched, you hit all the points that needed to be covered, as some of the events that lead to involvement by Todd, and Hank, and the others, does not happen due to Gus Fring being offed earlier.
It's nice that the popular characters aren't getting a plot Shield most of them died in this story
these are so good walt and skyler being a happy family was beautiful
I totally agree!
When Murge uploads its a good day
This was absolutely excellent. Had to watch it twice
Thanks bro! Appreciate you
I’m really enjoying your what if… videos. Please keep them coming
Great job again Murge.
You put it all together so nice and entertaining👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks as always pat!
I love stories with a happy ending!
Except for Hank and Badger.
And Gus
This what if it’s perfect bro you are awesome!
8:53 Haven’t finished the video yet but I feel like this part should have gone much differently. Saul went the extra mile and got a fake family to show up for Lalo to convince the judge he’s not a flight risk so he could make bail. Have to imagine a different lawyer wouldn’t have pulled this off. Just a little nitpick tho. Great content as always!
Peter Mayhew = the guy who played Chewbacca. I see what you did there.
I have a few video ideas for you
What if Tuco shot Hank?
What if Tuco ate the Ricin that was in his burrito?
What if Walter and Jesse actually went to Mexico to cook for the Cartel instead of trying to poison Tuco?
I already watched these parts separately, had to rewatch though. I really love the bittersweet ending.
What if Hector Salamanca and Gus Fringe settled their differences in a boxing match like Howard and Jimmy did?
in my point of view, there is no tuco so Jesse still has his monte carlo and his rainy day fund, and that wouldn't cause Jesse to act desperate during the whole show, Hank never talked to jesse's mother leading his mom to get in his house and he never met jane, and there wouldn't be a 1 eyed teddy bear in walters pool from the two plane collision in mid air, never happened.neither, and so on
These vids are cool. Interesting thoughts. I personally feel that Kim wouldn't stick by Saul, nor would Saul really descend into the criminal lawyer Saul is with Kim.
Howard Hamilin: Its over. I won.
Lol
If Mike shot tuco in the parking lot. Mike would’ve likely gotten off with self defense. At least if he’s a registered owner
Finally, the good ending
What if walter jr got cancer instead of Walter
Why would Emilio be getting set up if crazy 8 was killed?
19:53 Okay I dont really agree with this part. From what I remember Walt only got Gale replaced because Jesse was threatening to sue Hank. It wasnt because of his ego.
honestly feel like if tuco isnt in the picture it makes hank leave which would likely end in the best ending cause hank never beats up jesse which doesnt make walter feel like he needs to put jesse on the business because jesse doesnt threaten to sue hank which i feel would eliminate a lot of the problems like gus trying to kill jesse since he see him as a problem and walt stopping the hit which makes gus think walter is a problem and having gale try and learn his formula so he can kill him if it wasnt for jesse being there the whole time and walt killing those two guys for jesse walter would likely be in no danger whatsoever from gus and would not have to kill gale and since hank is dead he would never find the book i feel like this would be the best ending to it all all because tuco died
This is basically the BrBa timeline where everyone wins except Saul and Hank.
They never had a chance to win
And gus
I love your videos! Youre expanding the breaking bad and better call saul universe!
I hope so!
Wait, so has no one mentioned that the person he was referring to as Joaquin in the entire video is just a right hand man of Eladio, Gaff and totally not related to the Salamancas?
Great video btw. I really love your work.
wait, so why did Hank get killed by the IED in this timeline?
No ptsd from tuco
No way Saul would tell anyone Walt and Jesse's name... even his wife.
Ah so I see he also did “what if Gus didn’t hire the most incompetent mercenaries known to man” lol
The person you used for footage of Joaquin Salamanca is actually of the cartel enforcer, Gaff. He got strangled by Mike before Joaquin ever stepped out to be killed by Jesse
Well now I wonder what would happen if Mike had refused, would Tuco have gone to jail?
Why would gale have a substandard cook though, he would’ve realistically had about 96 percent at least
Using Jesse’s method
Not only that but Gale would even have the same standards of cleanliness that Walt and Jesse would have
He would be nervous too
7:36 in this version he never got his earring ripped out bc nacho died earlier
I love these videos man. Here I just have a little trouble imagining that Gus' poor hitsquad would be able to take out the twins and Lalo at once, when they failed to get Lalo alone and even had Nacho's help at the entrance
Personally I think Jimmy would of quit being a lawyer on the spot to preserve his marriage and vow to never break bad again, waiting a few months down the line to then bring up everything that happened and how it happened. Which would leave Kim to leaving them for a few years but only to eventually reconnect with each other, leaving Albuquerque forever. I don't think he would give up on his scams per se, just that he would help Kim out with his own expertise in his "unique" ways when called upon.
How would jesse and emilio get busted without crazy 8 ratting them out?
Wait why did the hit on Lalo work this time? Lalo isn’t any less smart in this universe, plus Nacho wasn’t there to open the gate, so wouldn’t Lalo still escape? And why would the twins go with Lalo back to his own house?
Lalo wasn't in the kitchen and therefore didn't see an assassin
@@mr.monkey354 the assassins wouldn't have had such an easy time getting in unnoticed without Nacho though.
I think I suggested this before: What if Badger knew that bit about a cop having to admit they are a cop was bullshit, and he just left the bench?
What if jesse had refused in episode 1 when walt wanted to cook meth
I think the part you messed up on is when Tuco lets Nacho leave early without a word, pretty sure he’d explode and hell “SIT DOWN, YOU LEAVE WHEN I TELL YOU TO LEAVE”
Even if Lydia made any appearance in spin-offs or what-ifs, she's nothing but a nuisance that needs to be deposed of
crazy 8 is dead meaning jesse would have no reason to go to the house because jesse still thinks emilio is in jail when he visits crazy 8 and crazy 8 introdused them so without him they most likeley
wouldnt know eachother
Also with Krazy-8 dead, Emilio probably wouldn't get busted in the first place considering Domingo was the snitch. Therefore he wouldn't recognize Walt. Also Walt wouldn't see Jesse escaping...
The fact that he is still hearing comments a year later😭
Other than Badger and Hank dying, honestly this is great for everyone. Walt dies loved by his family, Jesse has a great life with Andrea and Brock, Mike gets to see his granddaughter grow, Eladio keeps his empire, Hector gets the satisfaction of his enemy’s (very brutal) death AND his legacy gets to live through Joaquin, Lydia gets what she deserves, and Howard LIVES!
Only thing is that Saul and Kim divorce but that is canon anyways.
Glad you like it bro
what if huell was unhappy
Everyone dies
I feel like badger and skinny peet wouldn’t sell on the street because of what happend to combo
very interesting turn of events would of been nice for kim to be in breaking bad
what if don hecktors bomb didnt go off in face off or if gus put the needle in hecktor before he could press the bell
What if Hector Salamanca didn’t kill Max?
oooooh would love to see this
What if Badger actually shot Jesse with his crossbow and not missed
murge just casually making plots better then some in the actual shows and thought we would've notice
I just have a vivid imagination
But thank you, you’re going to make me blush
What if Walter’s plan to kill Gus in “Face Off” failed
Hank would be killed
