One detail you overlooked: the coati, the animal Gus had a run-in with as an impoverished child, is native to South America but *not* to Chile, meaning Gus likely came to Chile from somewhere else.
I mean to be fair, you can find coati in South America and even Arizona and New Mexico apparently. Maybe Gus is a native new Mexican and he moved to South America then back to NM lol.
They would've known who he was. Pinochet was the dictator, so obviously Gus wasn't. If Gus was a general, he'd have been wanted for crimes against humanity by the international war tribune in the Hague.@@gazb2740

I’ve always thought “Los Pollos Hermanos” would be a great prequel prequel series focusing on Gus Fring’s story! Nice way to round out a Breaking Bad trilogy of series
Idk, I think the mystery behind Gus in integral part of his character. It would be cool to know more about him, but in the process you risk ruining Gus himself
@@ladalewatson-ch4imAMC has half a dozen Walking Dead spinoffs, sometimes running concurrently, they absolutely want Vince to do more after Better Call Saul was well-received.
What made Gus work so well was that he was the exact opposite of Tuco. After this crazy, out of control bad guy, having a cold and in control supervillain made Breaking Bad stand out from it's predecessors like The Sopranos or The Wire.
Honestly I feel Sopranos created the cold unwavering villain that you hate to love. They're all horrible people but you love them anyways. That led to Marlo. Then breaking bad. Sopranos changed tv history.
You have opened the portal to endless cliches by fanboys of the Sopranos by simply mentioning it. They will invade this comment universe with endless witty barbs about Varsity Athletes, Interior Decorators etc.
For all those mysteries and genius schemes, Gus, in the end of the day, is just a sad lonely man who can never make himself love or be happy again in pursuit of revenge.
There are alot of untold realities even in the shows remote locations about 'A harsh life on the edge with no one no government or family to support or provide opportunities.' This show brings to light survival when your all on your own and have to create your own opportunities just to get on with the world. Heck if you were born in a village to a poor family in the South, you would know how it feels when your single mother serves rat poison to the entire family starting with the eldest girl in the house because the mother now decides the fate of everyone in mercy killing to escape a hopeless wretched life (Same as a convict or Hector here bound to a wheel chair). As Your sisters becomes easy target to fall into prostitution with no father figure and your family immediately becomes talk of the town thanks to your sister, who is the freshest whore in town. Lastly quoting Stallones Rocky Balboa, 'Life is not all sunshine and rainbows' when your family is not rich enough to provide and you have no father figure to go to anymore. Once Gus had Poisoned all of hectors family and friends. This puts Hector / Salamanca's position in the same category as someone who is part of the family describes above.. 'A LOOSER FAMILY NAME WITH NO HOPE OR HONOR!' The last bit of that poison was meant for Hector to willfully accept, in order to wash down and accept his failures and that he lost the Drug cartel game to Gus Fring. These are stories of unfortunate broken souls who never even knew what it meant to ever be loved by a mother, to be given equal opportunity at work or trade, to know the safety net provided by a caring community or government. For them every day is about struggles and winning and sweet revenge against the world that shunned them, perhaps like Lucifer was shunned out of heaven leaving him with only hate and terror in mind. When we don't care enough and walk aways from the poor and downtrodden even when we see that poor struggling neighbor, delivery guy or jobless hobbo, it all comes back to bite society one day when you hear about that school shooting by some loner drug addict. These are people same as any animal and would turn feral when neglected long enough.
I really don't mean to make it about race is this "woke" world, but as a black guy it was really refreshing seeing a black villain that wasn't "hood". Giancarlo Esposito did an amazing job with this character.
One thing about why Gus and Schuller have such a close connection: after WWII many nazis fled to central and South America after the war to avoid prison. Nazis were very intertwined within Pinochet's regime, and this makes it very likely that Schuller either fled nazi Germany as a young boy after the war or is the direct descendant of a nazi
@@OneCSevenah yes.

@@OneCSevenwell, it makes sense. My mom is from same place as Andreas Selich (Andrija Selić) man that killed Che. Google it. They also immigrated from Eastern Europe as fierce anti-commies, not nazis
I understand that for an American it may be quite difficult to figure out Gus’s real origins. But since I’m a Chilean, I can say that Gus is full of BS. First, he can’t even speak Spanish right, which may be attributed to a lack of talent from the actor. Nevertheless, it is just too obvious he’s not a Spanish native speaker and the director didn’t even make an effort to include one or two Chilean slang words in his speech, which would have been quite easy. Second, he talks about a Coati, a tree of lucuma and rain that “smells like hay” when being a child. None of those things exist in Chile, but rather in tropical jungle climates like: Southern Brazil, Paraguay or Northern Argentina. Third, his ethnicity. He is somewhat black. Back in the 70’s and 80’s (when Gus was supposed to be a child) there was no black population (I mean at all) in Chile, less a local African - Chilean. African descendant population started to arrive in Chile only in the past 10 or 15 years (mainly from Haiti, Colombia and Venezuela) so only today we may have the first generation of Black - Chileans born in Chile. If Gus is really from South America, he was born and raised, most likely, in Brazil or Guyana: places where people don’t speak Spanish, have a large population of black citizens and have the perfect climate for Coati, lucuma and tropical rain.
Someone answer me this though: if he’s hellbent on revenge against hector and making sure he suffers when he dies, why is he okay in the end with just giving him a lethal injection in the nursing home?

have you seen that show narcos it was even more brutal then breaking bad that show its crazy very action packed also Please watch it if you are interested in crimelords
What surprised me was to find out that the actor, Giancarlo Esposito, was half Italian, but he didn't speak even one word correctly in Spanish. He sounded totally incomprehensible. Just like Swedish and Norwegian are different languages but one can easily pick up on the other, Spanish and Italian are grammaticaly close enough as to not be so difficult for one to learn the other language. Most Italian friends I have, learn relatively good Spanish in only a matter of weeks if commited to do so.
Maybe when he says he knows who he really is was because Gus was gay. I mean Hector suspected i'm sure and thats why he teased him, but maybe Don knew everything.
That or Gus became a surrogate father to Lydia's children to hide in plain sight from being gay. It would make sense for Gus and Lydia to be close in that way and for Gus to never be there since he's occupied with his drug empire
Hi, I was wondering if you can make a video discussing on who you personally think is the worst person between Walter White and Tony soprano. My dad and I have had this debate for months and we want a second opinion lol
I’m a Chilean and I’m amazed on how ignorant Americans are on Chilean history. Chile, since colonial times, was a region populated mainly by Spaniard Andalusians and local natives, thus there was no black population at all. And that maintained so until 21th century. The Basque, the Galician, the British, the German, the Italian, the French were the dominant migrants ever since the Republic was born. No black people at all. By the time Fring was supposedly born (say, the 60’s or 70’s) the average Chilean looked pretty much like Pinochet: dark hair, white skin, western features, and somewhat rough Latin stanza, but no black appearance at all. There’s no way that Fring was ever Chilean. I presume he was from Brazil or places alike, where black population have always been massive ever since colonial times, and where Coati exists, since those strange mammals are from tropical climates nowhere near Chile.
In my rainbow farting unicorn world the Salamancas and Gus are in the gastro industry competing each other and trying to convince Don Eladio(a respectable businessman) to invest into one of them. No killings,no crimes just hard working race between two companies.
I think gus isn't chilean, because of two details: 1. African-americans were extremely rare in chile during the time gus must have been born 2. Coatis aren't from chile, they are from brazil iirc, they are common in the area surrounding the iguazu waterfalls
Of course there’s no “African Americans” in Chile. They’d be African-Chilean. It’s weird af that Americans call black people “African American”, regardless of where they’re from, or if they’ve ever even been to America. Just say “black”. It’s not an offensive word, yet white Americans will use euphemisms that make no sense just to avoid saying it. 🙄
ON ANOTHER NOTE... another couple of series to consider for review and analysis would be Narcos and Narcos Mexico. Although not fitting in with the current series you've done as it is based on real people and events, it not so much a documentary as a fictional version of those events. The way it creates plots and subplots could rival the best of Breaking Bad. All that and the excellent production values that pull a viewer into its universe.
@@PureKino that's funny lol like 2 weeks ago I started getting recommended alot of clips from TH-cam so I decided to watch. You made a boardwalk video awhile ago too right as I started to watch boardwalk lol
Why does Hollywood assume that, if a man's best male friend dies, and he's upset about it, that maks them gay? If my best friend was murdered in front of me, I wouldn't go "Well, we weren't fucking, so whatever". They did this exact same thing with Dumbledore.
they didn’t “assume”… they wrote them on purpose that way. the people who created both the show and dumbledore explicitly said these characters were gay. what does it say about you that you can’t accept that?
@@hardpack187this was written into the show in 2011. believe it or not, a character can be gay without it being for the sake of publicity. male bonds can be platonic. this one’s not. what’s so hard for all of you to understand here?
It never even occurred to me that so much forethought went into this character, but the fact that’s he’s gay and that he has two older brothers makes sense. Google the “birth order theory” on sexual orientation. This has to be intentional.
I don´t think Gus was a general during Pinochet dictatorships, there was (and still is) a los of classism during those years. Rich people were mostly from European decent (light complexion) and poor people were mostly from mix blood family (brown complexion), there is no way a black man would have a position of power during those years, not militar power nor economic power. The above plus his awful, just awful Spanish, makes me think he is not even from Chile.
It is not a matter of classism, but simple mathematics. There was no black population in Chile back then, so no statistical probabilities for any black men to be not only in a position of power, but in any position at all.
Gus could defeat the cartel. He can hide in plain sight. He can get away with being the most powerful grug lord in the country..... But he couldn't defeat Walter White.
Compared to most of the people in this series, I don’t even consider Gus a villain. An antagonist to Walt for sure, but he’s really just a tragic figure who loved and lost and never let himself feel those things again. I mean, when the entire backdrop of the series is selling meth, everyone qualifies as a villain, but in a different universe I see Gus as the hero of a John Wick style righteous journey of just revenge.
I actually like the condensed summary, it highlights how business savvy Gus always was always trying to one-up the drug game, one of his biggest criticisms of the cartel was they had no vision.
@@shrim1481I'm all for an Oz video, Adebisi looked like a big thug, but he was opportunistic enough to take over the prison. Though he had many different roles and layers to his character, most people think he's a villain.

It is not a matter of classism, but simple mathematics. There was no black population in Chile back then, so no statistical probabilities for any black men to be not only in a position of power, but in any position at all.
The poorly-spoken Spanish is due to Giancarlo Esposito, the Italian-American Actor who plays him, only vaguely speaking Spanish as a 3rd language.

Gus could defeat the cartel. He can hide in plain sight. He can get away with being the most powerful grug lord in the country..... But he couldn't defeat Walter White.
Damn Gus gay… obvious I guess just never realized 🤦🏽♂️
Based Pinochet
it’s depressing that people think your shallow summaries are analysis.
Compared to most of the people in this series, I don’t even consider Gus a villain. An antagonist to Walt for sure, but he’s really just a tragic figure who loved and lost and never let himself feel those things again. I mean, when the entire backdrop of the series is selling meth, everyone qualifies as a villain, but in a different universe I see Gus as the hero of a John Wick style righteous journey of just revenge.
you dont need to explain anything about Gus my dude. We understand him.
I actually like the condensed summary, it highlights how business savvy Gus always was always trying to one-up the drug game, one of his biggest criticisms of the cartel was they had no vision.
What about an "Adebisi Explained" video next? You wouldn't have Walter, Saul, Tony and Gustavo without him.
is that accurate? Tony was the first cable tv cult anti-hero.
@@orangewarm1 Adebisi was the first anti-hero.
@@shrim1481I'm all for an Oz video, Adebisi looked like a big thug, but he was opportunistic enough to take over the prison. Though he had many different roles and layers to his character, most people think he's a villain.
Hes just a man wearing a tiny hat
