Yes! Mikes death wasn’t badass at all. Any of these would’ve been better: -(the scene you suggested) -Saving Jesse at the end of the series. -“I am the one who knocks!” -Visiting Gretchen and Elliot and threatening them with the “2 best hitmen” -Confronting the bullies who were making fun of Walt. Jr. -Running over and shooting the drug dealers who were gonna shoot Jesse (the one who shot Andreas brother). But the Mike scene? It’s not that I’m even biased towards Mike, it just shows Walt as a coward.
Totally agree! Absolute bitch move... Nothing badass about this, and the weakest point of the show in my opinion. Mike was such a great character, such a badass, he deserved a much better ending than being shot by a bitchy Walt.
I agree!! That scene was intense!! You could tell that Jesse didn't want to do it. What options did he have though!!?? They were going to kill Walt and or Jesse!!
@orangewarm1 do you mean the M17?? I forget the actual name. I was in the ARMY. I had to carry one of those on a 20 mile hike with a 60lb rucksack!! Let me tell you; that bad boy only weighs like 7 pounds. But when you're humping up and down hills for 20 miles it feels like a heavy cinder block!!-lol. I love the way that Walt set it up to spray the whole house!! Killed all the bad guys. And then when Jesse killed that one kid by strangling him!!?? That was Epic
I think the way Walt executes Jack mid sentence and then reveals to Lydia that she's already dead is one of Walt's most badass moments, as well as 'Because your boss is gonna need me...' 'Tread lightly...' is another that deserves a mention.
Yeah this top 5 is awful. The real top 5 would be something like 5 - Gassing Emilio & Crazy 8 4 - Tread Lightly 3 - Running over the guys Jesse was about to kill 2 - Sending Jesse to kill Gale 1 - Massacring the Nazis and rescuing Jesse. The only reason the Nazis is above Gale is because in that episode he gets a little bit of redemption before he dies.
@@Synchronised01 I'd replace #5 with, "Stay out of my territory". Walt dispatched Emilio/Crazy 8 because he had an unexpected opportunity in the face of abject fear and self-preservation, not because he was a badass. Otherwise, great list, and I think Walter's unflinching execution of the surviving dealer in #3 was just fricking chilling.
Mike's death may show how dangerous Walter is, but it also showed how dangerous he was to himself. His inability to control his pride meant he was invariably going to come down.
No just how out of control and the cancer was back. He had to take a back seat to the team he got screwed over when he was young. He just got carried away
Yea its definitely a defining moment in the show but it's far from badass. He panicked, shot Mike out of impulse, and then asked him for forgiveness. Its a better example of him being pathetic and really just proves Mike's point about Walters greed and ego in my opinion. Its definitely a great scene but if someone watches that and says "wow what a cool guy" idk what to tell them lol.
He had to take out Mike. At that point, he and Mike were Enemies. Walt knew that Mike would be coming for him at some point, so he struck preemptively. One of them was always going to die in that situation.
Knowing now that Crazy-8 was a DEA snitch, it explains his initial hesitation to smoke Walt and Jesse. Some things the feds weren't going to absolve him of.
I'd replace his shooting of Mike - which was an epic tragedy plus a cosmic blooper he couldn't take back - with the killing of Uncle Jack's crew. THAT was badass.
Yeah fuck Jack & his Nazi gang. This series is full of incredibly satisfying moments, from exploding Krazy-8 & what's-his-face, to Walter choking Krazy-8 to death as he desperately tried to kill him with the plate (though now that I think of it-- what was his plan after that??? Starve to death in the basement or get wasted by Jesse? Lol). But that final scene where he kills all those evil bastards, then tells Lydia she's fuckin dead (with the added personal dig at "that stevia bullshit you're always putting in your tea", that whole shit was over the top satisfying 😍
@@scratchyinkittenmittons His plan was to shank Walt as soon as he released him. Walt saw through it and decided to kill him instead, and he just stabbed at him out of desperation trying to survive another minute if he could. There was no plan beyond just 'survive'.
How was that a tragedy? Mike was a piece of shit and a loose end to tie up the rest of the human waste Gus crew Walter single handedly wiped out all the haters - pity he didn’t or Jesse
@@regularSenseAppealSeen it thrice as well but I think every character, moreso the main ones, are written extremely well including the three you mentioned
This is a series that's better the second or third time around imo. Def rewatch it. I honestly felt it dragged a bit the first time, but was stoked on every minute rewatching.
@@Dmaj089 I agree. I felt more like skipping those parts the first viewing. Rewatching I appreciated those characters more. They help form the whole picture.
Nah. The scene blowing up Tucos office stands alone. Toe to toe w Tuco after he stomped Jesse, the backing music, the explosive, and the rage out scene in the car after. Gold.
He might have been able to get the info but Walter would never have had the nerve to kill all of Mike’s guys if he was still alive. Walter and Lydia would have been scared to death that Mike would come for payback.
I just realized that Lidia has names and I could get it from her. When I watched that scene I was frustrated because of "stupid" death of Mike. But only now I realised. He didn't shot him because of that. That wasn't the main reason. 12:58 It was Walt's ego. He shot him because he was angry, not because of nescesity.
"This is not meth" is honestly my favourite, badass moment of the series. When it aired, i remember being shook at how incredible that move was. To me, this is the moment Walt truly became Heisenberg. Thanks to these Shorts I'm rewatching the whole series 10 yrs later 🥰
diffucult to say that it wasnt calculated cause before he gave mike his bag full money ....walter took his gun which was in mikes bag before he gave mike the bag
Tuco:" Are you fucking crazy?" Walt: "do you want to find out?"......at that point Walt had no doubt that he had the upper hand. Even if he gets shot the full bag falls down and they all die.
From that point until the very end I felt the same way, but the way he saved Jesse and pretty much left him the last man standing redeemed him to me, also it was genius how he made himself look like a psycho so that Skyler wouldn't come under as harsh of questioning. When he sends that voice message to her and tears up after, it pretty much confirms what his real intention is.
Lol Mike had it coming he literally tried killing Walt before, kicked Walts ass, stole his money for legacy payments and got them all caught, wouldn't let Walt kills the 10... easy icing for Walt tbh
@@Sile1nce76 Nobody criticized the writing. They criticized the character, in-universe. You can call Sauron evil without saying he's poorly written. You can call Batman selfish in his pacifism without calling him the villain. Walter White is a selfish, cowardly man whose shooting of Mike was preventable, undeserved, and short-sighted. This was an impulsive decision that Walter made because he feared being ratted out by the 9 guys after Mike left the game and refused to take the advice to get going. If Walt took that opportunity he could have made off clean with tens of millions of dollars and his family would be almost entirely intact. At worst, the Whites have to leave Marie and Hank behind with the vacuum salesman's family bundle. Walter White's negative traits are compelling. We like that. We're happy with how it was written because we relate to and feel for Walt, and can see from his eyes why he does the things he does even when we disagree with them. The show is amazingly written, and Walt is no exception. But Walt is also a cowardly, selfish egoist.
Never even thought of that but so true lol Probably were in a panic and thought killing Walter was their best option. Also, if you’re not familiar with camper doors, they’re a lot lower down than you think from the inside. Great pickup!
They couldn't think straight in that situation, doubt anyone would be able to. Also they didn't shoot the door for ventilation, but to exit the vehicle
I’ve always thought the same, but there is a pretty good reason I don’t think they could - aside from plot convenience. I’ve been exposed to industrial Chorine in vapor form, for just a few seconds at my job, years ago. I forgot to switch a valve off before I opened a canister that was feeding the pucks into a pool system, and I realized it at the LAST second, and it shot the vapor and water out of the canister… holy hell. I wear glasses, but that didn’t matter - it was like if someone tried to force your eyes shut and you were fighting against it, all while tears flooded out. I gagged so hard I couldn’t breathe, and felt like I was going to lose consciousness after just a few seconds of exposure - it’s a miracle I capped the system, because I couldn’t even see, and after it stopped, I rushed outside and just felt like I was going to puke from the sensation, and my lungs felt hot. It took me about a solid ten minutes of just breathing before I felt normal again, and it all lasted maybe 20-30 seconds, from Chlorine - I’m not sure if the muriatic acid line was ran through that bit of the system, and it’s why it was so intense, but it doesn’t really matter, because I was super lucky it didn’t corrode my lungs or cause blindness. If you get blindsided by an explosion, and then you cant breathe, it’s likely you’re not going to see or hit anything with a gun. Plus, phosphine gas of any variation is extremely dangerous, leading to rapid death if you’re exposed to it for even a short period; the fact it’s used as an incendiary munition and chemical weapon should really also sell how truly dangerous phosphine gas is.
Walt and Heisenberg are the same bro stop that shi. Walt was always a bad person and he had multiple opportunities to get out of the business but didn’t. I like Walt and still even defend him from time to time but there is no good or bad side to Walt. He is who he is. They are no reason for Walt to say “oh no Heisenberg made me kill those dudes in prison.” Lol
@ lmfao look up why and then realize your comment holds no weight I have no fucking clue why it’s there but even if I did put it there what’s more embarrassing is randomly spending time to hate on someone for something so fucking stupid lmao
If that would've been included instead of the brat-fit killing of Mike, I think it would've erroneously painted Walter to have heart to match his balls. An apt description for Mike, or Ed the Disappearer maybe. Not Walter.
was waiting for that last one... the moment walter officially became a badass mf... the stakes may have gotten higher as the seasons went on... but nothing ever topped that
Yeah, that last scene was what really made the series notch up a level, made everyone go "Holy Shit!" the first time, at the water cooler the next day... Especially the way it worked in the episode, which I won't give away.
While I will agree with the sentiment people have expressed that killing Mike was not Walt’s best moment, I think we can agree it is superb bit of acting from Cranston in that scene.
"Fulminated Mercury with a little tweak of chemistry." Walter White gave a new courage to intellectuals everywhere. RIP Walter!!! You were the Ultimate Bad Ass!!!
All of the musical choices were amazing. Even the songs that aren't anything I'd listen to normally lend so much additional power and intensity to their respective scenes. For example, that wacky rock track that plays when he tells those wannabe cooks to stay out of his territory. I'd never listen to it on its own, but it so perfectly captures the mood and vibe of the scene. Then there's Fred Astaire's "Pick Yourself Up" playing over the course of the GRUESOME prison murder scene; that's something I would listen to naturally, but pairing it with this absolutely ruthless string of horribly graphic murders-- it's so light and lilting and cheerful, which makes the scene so, SO much colder in my opinion. The perfect show. I know some people prefer BCS, but it's just not the same. It's a great series, but it just doesn't possess the same range, diversity of interests & emotions, and WILD levels of character development that BB does. And this is coming from a complete Mike & Saul stan! 🤌
'Say my name.' 'You're goddam right.' _still_ gives me chills. Cranston is easily on my short list of greatest actors currently working. And it's a _very_ short list.
Walter still has the best actor in the entire series (Bryan Cranston) and is the most well written character in the show. You can’t deny that no matter how much you dislike him
Watch the show it will be the best thing youve ever seen but the reason the men were killed was because they could leak information which would result in the DEA finding out who Walter or heisenberg is and busting the whole operation. He contacted someone to organize murders inside the prison so the men could not leak any info. There is much more story to this but thats essentially it
You should really watch the show. It's so good. He killed all those people in jail to tie up loose ends. They knew who he was and what he did. I started watching the show because ,like you, I seen a clip then I asked online why something happened.
In the first minutes of the series Walt did about three amazingly stupid things. Beginning with throwing the respirator into the desert. In a fit of rage. Idiotic.

@@cheesesteakphilly All of those are awesome moments except for his over the top speech to Skyler. That one is cringe, and is supposed to be cringe.

after that it became a lot easier to accept Walt’s downfall, they definitely knew what that would do to what the audience thinks of him

Mike was going to kill him if he didn't kill him first

Walt and Heisenberg are the same bro stop that shi. Walt was always a bad person and he had multiple opportunities to get out of the business but didn’t. I like Walt and still even defend him from time to time but there is no good or bad side to Walt. He is who he is. They are no reason for Walt to say “oh no Heisenberg made me kill those dudes in prison.” Lol
I wish I could watch this show all over again for the first time.
Was sad to see Mike go.
The say my name still gets me every time. Watching all the episodes really bring this sence to it's up most hype.
Fulminated mercury. The last time I heard that particular chemical mentioned on screen was in the movie, The Guns of Navarone!!
It was used in early pinfire cartridges.
Fulminate of mercury
13:15 that “you” came from his soul lmao
Do you people add the music note to pretend you have a verified tag? Because that's embarrassing
@ lmfao look up why and then realize your comment holds no weight I have no fucking clue why it’s there but even if I did put it there what’s more embarrassing is randomly spending time to hate on someone for something so fucking stupid lmao
@ do you ppl put numbers in your name bc your unoriginal
@ Chosen for me by Google when the name transfer happened.
Your turn.
What about the end? When he takes out Uncle Jacks crew and Lydia?
If that would've been included instead of the brat-fit killing of Mike, I think it would've erroneously painted Walter to have heart to match his balls. An apt description for Mike, or Ed the Disappearer maybe. Not Walter.
epic
Stoggy!@@MomMom4Cubs
Most badass moment in the show imo
True. They should put out the moment when he kill Mike cuz that wasn't badass it was a villain moment. The ending with the machine gun was badass
Walt is the ultimate badass when he says say my name and afterthebdude says Heisenberg " YOUR GODDAMNED RIGHT!!! 😊😊😊
It was a little too "Theme song from Shaft" for me
Bryan Cranston & Giancarlo Esposito were absolutely phenomenal.
You missed the machine gun in the trunk scene. Classic!
M-60 in the Trunk was Epic , those rounds fly through you not just into you!!!
When TUCO asks you if you are nuts... 😅😅😅😆😆
"Run." was the best by far.
was waiting for that last one... the moment walter officially became a badass mf... the stakes may have gotten higher as the seasons went on... but nothing ever topped that
killing mike wasnt a badass move but a b*tch move.
Mike refused to give up the names so he got capped. Simple pimple.
Yeah, that last scene was what really made the series notch up a level, made everyone go "Holy Shit!" the first time, at the water cooler the next day... Especially the way it worked in the episode, which I won't give away.
While I will agree with the sentiment people have expressed that killing Mike was not Walt’s best moment, I think we can agree it is superb bit of acting from Cranston in that scene.
"Fulminated Mercury with a little tweak of chemistry." Walter White gave a new courage to intellectuals everywhere. RIP Walter!!! You were the Ultimate Bad Ass!!!
Fulminate of mercury
Has anyone else noticed the Howard Dean yell after the explosion at Tuco’s? Lol
I think that the prison scenes where they took out all the snitches at once was Epic!! It all took less than 15 minutes. Hank was pissed off!!!-lol
not sure the ways were Walt's idea, only the timescale.
Not 15 but 2 minutes
I was so pissed off when Mike got killed
If you’re gonna kill off a character like that, at least have him go out on a banger
I can smell tucos breath through the phone😂
5:42 I like how they showed the swasticka for a split second to show what kind of people they were having do the murders
The moment he came up with using fumigating houses to cook meth in.
They could have gone on like that for years.
I love that scene where Mike tells Walt how he screwed everything up
where is the - i am NOT in danger I AM THE danger
That scene gave me chills of awesomeness.
I love how tick just kinda laughed about his office got blown up 😂
The background instrumentals in the episodes are flawless
All of the musical choices were amazing. Even the songs that aren't anything I'd listen to normally lend so much additional power and intensity to their respective scenes. For example, that wacky rock track that plays when he tells those wannabe cooks to stay out of his territory. I'd never listen to it on its own, but it so perfectly captures the mood and vibe of the scene. Then there's Fred Astaire's "Pick Yourself Up" playing over the course of the GRUESOME prison murder scene; that's something I would listen to naturally, but pairing it with this absolutely ruthless string of horribly graphic murders-- it's so light and lilting and cheerful, which makes the scene so, SO much colder in my opinion. The perfect show. I know some people prefer BCS, but it's just not the same. It's a great series, but it just doesn't possess the same range, diversity of interests & emotions, and WILD levels of character development that BB does. And this is coming from a complete Mike & Saul stan! 🤌
Walt using Todd’s phone to tell Lydia about the ricin was badass and a great ending
Walt poisoning Brock was the most badass scene
Haha damn that’s cold!
lmao
that's not badass that's lowlife thug thing
Loòooooooool
Gotta be that or when he watched Jane drown in her own vomit
i forgot how genuinely brutal the prison murders were. My god...
“You let us both live” Walt had honor since the beginning
He doesn't have honor lol. That's a significant part of his character.
@@AK-rv6dq lol honor for Jesse
you better watch the series again. Every time he lied to Skyler he lost honour.
You have a very warped idea of honor
He had love, not honour.
'Say my name.' 'You're goddam right.' _still_ gives me chills.
Cranston is easily on my short list of greatest actors currently working. And it's a _very_ short list.
Mike's death wasn't neccessary... Im so sorry for him
One small crystal of whatever could not do that much damage
I wouldn't say Walt shooting Mike was "badass", egotistical, stupid, and paranoid more like it.
Walter still has the best actor in the entire series (Bryan Cranston) and is the most well written character in the show. You can’t deny that no matter how much you dislike him
That RV had some crazy magic shit going on inside. Way more room inside than it looked like it had outside
I haven't seen the show, only lots of clips. Can anyone tell me why he had all those people in prison killed?
Watch the show it will be the best thing youve ever seen but the reason the men were killed was because they could leak information which would result in the DEA finding out who Walter or heisenberg is and busting the whole operation. He contacted someone to organize murders inside the prison so the men could not leak any info. There is much more story to this but thats essentially it
You should really watch the show. It's so good. He killed all those people in jail to tie up loose ends. They knew who he was and what he did. I started watching the show because ,like you, I seen a clip then I asked online why something happened.
The show is worth the time. Well worth it. Then do Better Call Saul.
No spoilers mate! Watch it urself
Potential witnesses.
You cant even pick up just 5 scenes from this great series 😂😂, its filled with many many more
Sewing the seeds for the rest of the show. Walt always thinking fast. But Mike was right at the river.
Mike would have never gotten smoked by Walter.
Never.
Looks like he did
@@Josama0214 People like yourself…..are the fucking worst. Lol
He did
it was uncertain whether he would live or die of cancer. so he went by heisenberg.
Masterpiece Breaking Bad ❤
Best Drama Series ever...
still gives me goosebumps these scenes, incredible show
I hated Walter for killing Mike.
Mike should have known Walter is erratic. It’s his fault he died
Since Crazy 8 was an informant he was not concerned about Walt being there during the raid. He was thinking of all the possible angles.
before mike died he was probably thinking ''i knew i should have killed him all those times i had a gun on him wtff''
I think breaking bad is my favourite tv series of all time.
Walt killing Mike ain't badass move. He killed Mike because he lost an argument with him. That was stupid af
Damn, you know what I realized the same place Mike got shot was the same place that Walt got shot at the end
No it isn't walt was shot at Jack's place
In the first minutes of the series Walt did about three amazingly stupid things. Beginning with throwing the respirator into the desert. In a fit of rage. Idiotic.
‘This is not Meth’ the greatest line in TV history
Now say my name

@@petermopp2639 You win Heisenberg lol 😆
Las Vegas woman 😮😮😮
They should have named the show “anxiety”. It’s an incredible show but it’s so emotional to watch.
Walter´s most inhuman moment was when he let Jane die.
She had the dirt and ran her mouth. She had to go and he wasn't responsible for her death. .
Jane should have minded her own business, just like a woman, when it comes to their financial gain though, that was a realistic moment for sure 😊
What makes number 1, number 1 is that they mixed the Howard Dean scream into the audio.
Mike's death wasnt "badass" it was *petty.*
Maybe that's why the video got less than 10% view to like ratio
It still happened regardless. Walter killed Mike no matter how insane it sounds
