    Todd is so good because he is the opposite of everything Jesse is. Jesse is presented like a rough around the edges rude punk but he is a good person on the inside. Todd is presented like a nice young man eager to please but he is a cold hearted monster inside. Jesse feels a great amount of remorse for the things he does and is constantly haunted by the things he wishes he could forget. Todd feels no remorse for the things he does and even keeps mementos of these moments.

      I mean crashing into a ditch refers to going broke and losing your business, hitting oncoming traffic refers to getting locked up. Hitting the raccoon refers to having to do whatever is necessary to not get murdered/locked up and still keep your business, that’s a lot to work with, You got a guy who would always kill the raccoon to survive. I’m sure the director gave him a speech like that he just dumbed it down for time sake.

      @leerobbo92 Your use of the Lord's name in vain will get you cast into eternal Hell after you die when you stand before a Holy God. The good news is God is not willing that any should perish. You broke God's Law and Jesus paid your fine by dying on the cross. This means that God can legally dismiss your case. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)” Then Jesus rose rose from the dead, defeating death. Please, today, repent or your sin and trust in Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you.

    Todd is a fearsome character because when he kills, it seems like an ordinary act and he not only shows no emotion, but he also shows a complete lack of remorse, he is a true psychopath. While most other characters, like Tuco or Gus, were more maniac in their killings, he just seems completely empty inside, like if it was nothing more than a chess move
