@@nmbr1son64I think he was poisoned by the cause but I could be wrong because he wasn’t rich at the end of the day had to go all back to the government
@@MrDrumdrum239 he wasn't rich? He had $73 million! However, he WAS poisoned by the cause because by killing those people, he eventually lost the value of human life. His deeds and lies eventually caught up with him, and he was killed himself.
I think what is scary about Teddy, is the fact there are people like him who think what they are doing is for a greater cause, and if people like you have to be a sacrifice for that goal no matter how many lives will be lost, he'll do it without question
Teddy Mcdonald and Franklin are the two most complex characters in the entire series. I've said this several times before that they're the essentially the same character, just from different walks of life. Two sides of the same coin.
@@jayzor7775yes he was… but when he went to make that call to Teddy on the pay phone that DEA agent Marino arrested him, remember? And then Ruben fucked their plan up so he still ended up at the warehouse with Teddy
I bet the reason this show didn't get it's true recognition is because of the governments involvement with drugs. If this was a show about the Italian mafia the writers, cast and production would've been rewarded. Shame...
@@marcelkozera2210Yes and No. I meant our government isn't really shown to commit these kinds of acts against it's own citizens. They're usually portrayed as heroes or not at all; ie. They had no involvement with the KKK, the Mafia, no part in the assassinations of JKF, Martin, Malcolm or Fred etc. it's usually the local police or officials. They used to have a big influence in Hollywerid but who knows now.🤷🏿♀️
@@marcelkozera2210yea, most governments (especially the us government) are completely narcissistic and wants their people to believe that they are the good guys, it’s part of the reason why most documentaries and textbooks about slavery don’t truly go into detail about everything that happened to the slaves, only about 50-60% of what happened is actually told
@@marquise7200 Right. That's part of american culture. Rewrite history so you can claim deniably. I'm glad this show gave us as much of the truth as it could. Sad thing is it will never get the recognition that shows like the sopranos, or power get. 🤔 I wonder why...
It’s funny that both Franklin and Teddy both joined this drug game in order to feel important. Different aspects of it made them feel important but ultimately they gaslit themselves into delusion. At first it was about money for Franklin but then it was about him feeling respected with it. He felt like he was nothing without it and it was his downfall. At first Teddy wanted to help the the contras but then it was just to prove a point. He was insecure and hated himself so he became Reed Thompson and just like Franklin he ended up feeling like he was nothing without his CIA career. He likes praise.
He was not evil per se, but the organization he worked for was (and still is) evil personified.. The analysis of Dexter Morgan, Vic Mackey, Frank Underwood, and Joffrey Baratheon are long overdue..
Amazing break down bro. I found Teddy so hard to read at times. He was very layered. Changing masks based on the circumstances such as how he manipulated the young girl in the beginning to try and find her missing sister
Definitely excited to watch this video bro they are always super detailed I appreciate that! Here’s some other characters you should consider doing a video on in the future : Rick Grimes Thomas Shelby Dexter Christopher Moltsanti Dre from Power Jax Teller
J back with another banger, your time and energy into this was greatly appreciated bro. Honestly keep doing what you love. It's all coming together. Looking forward to the future content. ❤
It's honestly sad that homie makes videos of this high quality, but he never made videos about the Salamanca's from Breaking Bad. Especially after he made that banger Gus video. This video was great though bravo bro👏.
It was Teddy ace in sleeve since he was captured. He lied to cc for quick death if he would defeat his money. So he told Franklin, that he accept to give up the money, and in final step provoked his mother to kill him now or never. Teddy paid back to Franklin by putting his mother in jail and making him alone and broke as Teddy was. 😢 Thank you, man. It's awesome content.
Just finished watching all seasons in the space of 2 weeks, finished it all yesterday. Teddy was a strange character for me. I didn't understand his motivation. Most characters were aiming for a better life of some sort. But after ditching his wife and kid, Teddy just seemed to continue this lifestyle with no end goal for himself.
The only time I felt sorry for Mr. Petty Teddy was when his brother died and his father called him after the funeral was already over and said "I suspect we won't speak again." That was messed up. But everything else was simply just a result of his own choices. Petty Teddy had plenty of opportunities to walk away from the CIA but he just had to keep pushing it. And in the end he got exactly what was coming to him... 2 bullets in the chest. Blind patriot..
I don’t even know if he watches wrestling or not but a video essay on Roman reigns dark psychology of his tribal chief character would be fire! but I love this channel☝🏽
wonderful performance as Teddy McDonald and the show Snowfall This video is wonderful from beginning to end the actor Carter Hudson did a fabulous job playing Teddy this video was well worth the wait I'm working on a video dedicated to Carter's Wonderful performance as Teddy McDonald and the show snowfall
went from killing Alejandro cause he was too ruthless to becoming even worse than him
Because money will do that to you!
He was evil he was okay with selling crack cocaine to fellow Americans and didn't feel guilty nor sorry cause they were black
@@nmbr1son64I think he was poisoned by the cause but I could be wrong because he wasn’t rich at the end of the day had to go all back to the government

So much worse look what he groomed Franklin into becoming💀
Franklin Torturing Teddy for the money one of the most Savage and Satisfying Scenes of all TV SHOW HISTORY LMAOOO
Frank was so desperate for his money and I don’t blame him. Yeah he may not have gotten it legally but he did earn the $73 million.
nah i liked teddy
"Everything you have, is because I allowed you to have it."
Franklin's words to his crew coming right back at him.
I think what is scary about Teddy, is the fact there are people like him who think what they are doing is for a greater cause, and if people like you have to be a sacrifice for that goal no matter how many lives will be lost, he'll do it without question
Wastemans😂😂
A serial killer psychopath
Well duh that’s what racism in this country is for a “better cause” they get privilege (Teddy) while (franklin) stays in poverty.
Teddy Mcdonald and Franklin are the two most complex characters in the entire series. I've said this several times before that they're the essentially the same character, just from different walks of life. Two sides of the same coin.
“But plot armor saves Franklin” 😂
5 more seconds and bro was gone
@@JWisdomHe legit planned out that exact scenario, but Gustavo got delayed.
@@JWisdomplot armor when it was planned😂😂😂😂
@@str8prf its plot armor because i dont think franklin planned to be hanged or nunna dat and gustavo wasnt supposed to be there anyways
@@jayzor7775yes he was… but when he went to make that call to Teddy on the pay phone that DEA agent Marino arrested him, remember? And then Ruben fucked their plan up so he still ended up at the warehouse with Teddy
Snowfall was so a amazing show

Sounds interesting, but I remain a little sceptical... Really think government would block this show from getting awards because of it?

Crazy part about it it really happened and people act as if America didn’t attack their own citizens

39:50 “…but plot armor saves Franklin.” 🤣🤣
I am so glad someone of your caliber made a video on Teddy that wasn’t basic of a breakdown thank you 🙏
Thank you bro🤝
Great job man. I really like the way you narrate the stories and combine them with psychological analysis
Thank you bro
I have been waiting so long for somebody to post a character analysis of Teddy. Thankyou.
Yea he’s such an intricate character and I was waiting for someone to dissect his arch
Literally just finished the dark phycology of Franklin Saint, 48 minutes ago perfect timing

The analysis of Dexter Morgan, Vic Mackey, Frank Underwood, and Joffrey Baratheon are long overdue..
Don’t forget Ronald Reagan at that time allowed drugs into the US and wouldn’t stop until the war was won
literally just was looking for one of the, perfect timing
The mistake Teddy made was to leave Franklin high and dry not with half. Had he just left with half he would lived.
Nah, Cissy was out to get Teddy regardless cuz of what he presumably did to Alton
@@West_Endian205 He should have never lied about Alton
Nah I think Franklin would have tried to do the same thing in both scenarios.
He's killed for less than 37 mill.
Amazing break down bro. I found Teddy so hard to read at times. He was very layered. Changing masks based on the circumstances such as how he manipulated the young girl in the beginning to try and find her missing sister
Definitely excited to watch this video bro they are always super detailed I appreciate that! Here’s some other characters you should consider doing a video on in the future :
Rick Grimes
Thomas Shelby
Dexter
Christopher Moltsanti
Dre from Power
Jax Teller
Jax would be dope or even gemma and or clay
Teddy was an incredible character. Been waiting for an analysis for a while now.....
I think he was super dull as a character and particularly uncharismatic nor likeable
@@juniorgunner501 mad your people are getting used??
J back with another banger, your time and energy into this was greatly appreciated bro. Honestly keep doing what you love. It's all coming together. Looking forward to the future content. ❤

Most characters were aiming for a better life of some sort. But after ditching his wife and kid, Teddy just seemed to continue this lifestyle with no end goal for himself.
His goal was the cause and proving his father wrong showing he's a soldier like his brother just in another way
Great video man
Nice work guy
This was good 👍
Amazing story telling👏🏿

Thank you bro 🥹
I’ve watched the franklin saint psychological breakdown and now this and now I see both sides of the story
I don’t even know if he watches wrestling or not but a video essay on Roman reigns dark psychology of his tribal chief character would be fire! but I love this channel☝🏽
You know what? I would like to see that as well
Yo love the content. You should do a video on light from death note.
Nah, feel like theres been a ton on light that it aint even captivating anymore. Everything about him had been said and evaluated
can you do one on tommy from power. Great video btw
Can’t believe that you did do tommy Higgins of power
wonderful performance as Teddy McDonald and the show Snowfall This video is wonderful from beginning to end the actor Carter Hudson did a fabulous job playing Teddy this video was well worth the wait I'm working on a video dedicated to Carter's Wonderful performance as Teddy McDonald and the show snowfall
Snowfall is the greatest show I have ever seen.
You know he probably lied about Alton being dead too he could’ve in a prison maybe for a spin off
RIP matt… you deserved a better older brother than teddy 😢
God bless you for this magnificent video essay bra
Damn brother. you did this so perfectly. Blending the real history with the fictional American monster who was Teddy McDonald
I'll never forgive teddy for what he did to Franklin
Franklin no Saint, he just as bad as teddy
@@JoshSTATiXso? 😅 i was rooting for him. He would have been a crazy kingpin
42:53 I can hear the pain on that sentence SMH
The perfect picture of the hand of an evil empire, viewing themselves as a hero.
Teddy was a goated Character you cannot change my mind.
that boy Teddy turned into sociopath over time
Please do frank lucal from American gangster
Please do Tommy Egan next
well fucking done as always
You should definitely analyze video game characters
Would you kindly make one about Dexter?
I know it’s not your genre but could you review waves?
U should do a Dark Psychology of Louie, Jerome or even Leon next icl...
👏 outstanding
Bro can you do on analysis on douda or ronnie from the chi
Teddy made Franklin into a control freak just like him to think about it all dat talk about "control issues" must've rubbed off on him over the years
Saint and Teddy both broke bad
The next video is about Fight Club. Please make the comment appear with a like so that the channel owner can see it
finally you make this video!!!
My bro! Just finished Snowfall×2. Was hoping in between, but now me think this is the cherry on top. Ty brother.
Can you do one on Hannibal Lecter from the show Hannibal
Bro you should do a video on one of the Salamanca’s next maybe lalo
It still upsets me that he took franklins money and ruined him
Why did he have to do that ( I know this video answers it) but WHYYYY
Do one on kanan stark
If Alejandro was alive the story could be more fantastic.
Please make psychology video on RICK GRIMES from the walking dead
J wisdom do Tyler durden fight club
Tom Reed its about time👌
I like teddy he should’ve joined franklin
Finally 🙏🏾
Yes, Teddy is A MONSTER, THE MONSTER TO STROLL in and begin the death and destruction all for his own gains.
Imagine teddy’s son and Franklin’s son meet in the future
Why is this a question he was the worst person in the show easy. He set there and poisoned All them good people😂
so did franklin
@@tigrispanthera5496 Franklin started off a good kid he eventually got turned. I’m not taking blame away from him but yeah he was decent at first
Do Homelander next
Do one about homelander
