@@mrneutral8423 what’s… the arc? He’s from a crime family and became a criminal. That’s not riveting. And he’s not sympathetic in the slightest either. Let it be
The fact that Lalo had an easy escape route during the raid, thought about it for a second, and decided to go back in and take out the rest of them is just so cold
Everything he did was calculated he used that as a sort of trap got out and behind them and came back to finish them off so they weren’t there later on to get after him. He also wanted the people who called for the hit to think he was dead not get reported back that he escaped.
Tuco was brutishly intimidating. Twins were silently intimidating. Hector, before being crippled, was patriarch intimidating. Lalo was intellectually intimidating. Salamanca’s definitely were a mixed bag of interesting characters.
'' Lalo was intellectually intimidating'' and not only that, he had unbelievable physical dexterity like a Xenomorph and that one trick pony plastic smile.
Lalo always showed to be a very friendly man, but its psychological wisdom to know: If a friendly man turns angry, they turn into the worst monsters éver! It was easy to piss of Tuco, and he'd go at you like a beast The Twins were silent assasins; no words, just retribution. Lalo was the best, and worst of them: Much smarter then his cousins, equally skilled in violence, but Lalo had patience. If Lalo were to run out of patience, he would unleash a fírestorm on his enemies, that would even make Tuco, Marco and Leonel shiver in fear!
Seeing Lalo made the power that the Salamancas had, make sense. The twins, Tuco, Hector were all hardcore cartel no doubt, but none had the brains to be running an enormous drug empire. In a franchise with multiple of the best TV villains of all-time, Lalo's presence still stands out.
Wouldn't really agree with that, Hector was portrayed as an old-school gangbanger with simple, solid, hardcore rules that went along with the lifestyle. It is shown that he had an influence in passing on those rules to the cousins (and probably others, therefore he is the foundation), whom I consider to be very intelligent in the criminal world. While they weren't as cunning in their ways of communicating with people from the outside, nor did they possess the charm of their cousin, they were able to achieve something on the verge of a superpower in the underground; an ability to act and communicate without saying a word. A perfect synchronization. A partner that reacts in the exact same manner on the spot, no need to discuss anything. No matter the time spent with other inmates in the can, only they know what's going on inside their head. One look is enough for them. The only time we saw the cousins a tad bit desynchronized was when one of them laid on the ground after having been crushed by Hank's car, while the other had a hard time in evaluating whether it was necessary to help his brother or eliminate Hank first. Even then he did not utter a word, only looked at Leonel in search of an answer. 'Terminallo.' End of debate. Fkn scary shit.
That’s a lot of reading lol dunno how you couldn’t agree tho. I mean we get to see Lalos stash/warehouse full of exotic cars I mean he got bailed out for 7 million cash he is easily the most successful Salamanca prob experienced too these might just be TH-cam rumors but I think I seen somewhere he had military training
When he meets his at pollos and asks to meet the owner, he says in Spanish that Don eladio drinks all the milk, trying to get Gustavo to maybe side with him or set him up as a traitor. Gus responds in terrible Spanish lmao that he never considers who drinks all the milk
Theory (or not) but I’m willing to bet lalo is one of the soul reasons why eladios cartel is so powerful and why the Salamanca name has such a strong reputation in that world. He’s a psychopath but he’s also a genius. With his head for numbers, his fluidity between Spanish and English, his social skills, his planning, his skills with a gun and his physicality. Eladios love for him is also very telling. Such a great character
I think that was exactly the point of the character`s creation, what you`re saying makes a lot of sense, i mean! i was shocked when he just throws those Ferri`s keys to don Eladio!
It’s “sole” and no. He’s a component for sure, but Hector is clearly the core and you’re assuming there weren’t an entire generation of Salamanca’s in the game with Hector that are no longer with us at this point.
@@jakebeck4132 I’d argue that he’s certainly a psychopath, high functioning with a sense of family and loyalty. A person who can become so singularly focused and kill people without flinching or a second thought are psychopathic. He even had a live body double on standby living on his property. He saw people in three categories imo; family, tools or obstacles. Killing the kid, Howard and his body-double cinched what he was for me even if he had an internal code that governed him.
@teddyjackson1902 a psychopath just hurts to hurt, they injure animals and innocent people just for their need to cause pain. Lalo is a Mexican cartel member, he's had to live like this because of who he is, he literally has been brought up knowing no different. Tuco was a sociopath, but none of them are psychopaths.
1:43 I love this scene for so many reasons but for one big one in particular. When Hector came to talk with Gus, he did it with all his goons and the subtlety and grace of a sledgehammer to the face. Which is fitting, because Hector was a powerful but cranky old man who was try to assert his dominance over Gus. But that was incredibly foolish, because as Gus pointed out making such a scene draws unwanted attention to the Cartel as a whole. But Lalo? He comes in and he plays the "game" just as well as Gus. To an outside observer this is just a hardworking manager and a appreciative customer having a conversation. Lalo plays to the role and comes to Gus' level but he does so in a way that puts Gus slightly on the back foot. And that makes Lalo seem even more dangerous than Hector because he understands and has mastered subtlety. While Hector came in with the subtlety and skill of a thug with a sledgehammer, Lalo comes at it with skill, speed, and precision like a knife fighter
That's interesting, he does have a knack for subtlety. So much so that I'm a bit confused, was Lalo trying to recruit Gus in a coup against Don Eladio? That's what he meant by getting along too well right?
@@hopoff9968 My read is that he was prodding Gus to see what his reaction would be and tease out his motivation. If Gus showed even a little bit of interest in even temporarily burying the hatchet with the Salamancas to take down Eladio a peg or two, then Gus’ motivator is power. If Gus shows no interest and is “fine with the way things are,” ie he’s fine with continuing to feud with the Salamancas, then his motivation is revenge. Either way Lalo will know how to proceed with Gus going forward
When Lalo tapped his finger on Jimmy's fish aquarium after Jimmy told him not to , I knew right away Lalo might be the most dangerous man on the planet.
Brilliant profile pic my compliments. One of the greatest Life Magazines front cover photo ever taken . You can almost feel those sincere emotions and tears to this day all these decades ever
I watched this show befre I got a new job, and I'm rly socially awkward. I shaved my beard into a moustache and tried to act like Lalo the entire time I was in in-person training. I swear I am beloved at this job. I'm a pretty moody shitty person so this is honestly the first time my coworkers have ever liked me. It was so god damn depressing to be liked so much 🤣 Idk why I chose to reply to ur comment lol
The unsettling reality is that individuals like Lalo exist in real life-charming, always smiling, cracking jokes, and seemingly friendly, yet lacking a moral compass. They would do anything for their own benefit, though extreme actions like killing might be rare. Nonetheless, they can be ruthlessly opportunistic. In real life, they often become politicians, lawyers, marketers, and religious leaders.
Hector was the force to be reckoned with because at the end of the day he was the one who was truly in charge of the Salamanca family, even when he was crippled by the stroke. The fact that with just one look he could get every Salamanca soldier and even worse any of his nephews to do whatever he wanted (all 4 who were 100% devoted to him, specially Lalo who was the most capable and dangerous) says it all.
He was actually in a lot of Mexican novellas before Better Call Saul which honestly was the way to go. Wish they did this with the other Salamancas but they did do an excellent job 👌
@CapitanPeso I think besides Hector's spanish every one of them is fine since the twins dont talk. For Tuco I feel like he was to be portrayed as Mexican-American with the way he talks and act.
And gus ONLY won because he admitted to himself that lalo had the skill to win him. He hides the gun because he knew That could happen. Like inter vs Barcelona, when Mourinho won the Champions. Playing defense and rely in a little bit of luck.
If Nacho have only Lalo as his boss, he will still be alive, and possibly lalo too. Lalo was as ruthless as Hector and Tuco but he was a good boss if you watch all their interactions
Nacho’s dad ruined everything , if he ran in another city and listened to his son , Nacho would not be forced to work under gus and he could’ve continued the cartel life under a « good » leader.
@@Kira-xk2rf yeah it was all nachos dads fault. He was such a terrible person and violent criminal, while his son was such a well behaved boy who never got involved with any bad people
@@MrSp3ctre lmao so funny smartass , nacho was already dipped into the cartel life , he can’t go backwards so the best decision his dad could’ve made is to run , i know he have pride and a good heart but sometimes you have to make hard decisions for the best
Very interesting that throughout better call Saul all of Lalos kills are shown off screen to give off the illusion that hes not even that bad especially compared to the other villains in the brba verse until it’s finally shown at the end with Howard no more deception that’s who Lalo truly was and is
Behind Lalo's smile and friendly demeanor lies a ruthless and violent man always calculating his next move and mistrustful of everyone including his own blood.
The creators wanted Tony Dalton to play Lalo as a more thinking version of Hector and the twins combined, but he convinced them that the version we got would be more likeable and also more terrifying af the same time. Thank God they listened! The crazy thing is that despite everything, if Lalo offered me a job I'd probably work for him 😃😃😃
You knew he was going to be awesome when within the first 30 seconds of his introduction he threatend and told Nacho he was going to die in the most amusing and friendly way possible.
I loved the contrast between Gus and Lalo. Both but on these faces one was charismatic and charming, the other put on a kind and caring act. Yet both of them both calculated and could show their ruthlessness.
Lalo was easily the most terrifying villain of either series. He was as brutal as Tuco but extremely controlled (as in not impulsive) and very intelligent & resourceful. His glibness and relaxed demeanor also adds to his ability to intimidate and terrorize. He's a guy that can kill someone gruesomely with a smile on his face.
Tony Dalton played the role of a lifetime and nailed it shut. Ever since those episodes aired, Ive been waiting and watching to see how Hollywood would respond to his incredible performances. I haven’t heard much more about him. Even of he doesn’t do much more after this, he has set the bar incredibly high for any actor coming behind him. Coolest and most likable evil villain that I was rooting for while still despising that I have ever seen. I haven’t liked an actor this much since Daniel Day Lewis’ performances and I haven’t seen a cat this cool since Dean Martin.
I’ve seen someone like Lalo before. Can’t say for certain if they were psychopath or not but they sure did act like one. They were very personable and friendly, always smiling, and they ended up charming a lot of those they interacted with. But something was just off. It felt so performative and hollow, like there’s nothing behind their eyes. Then you’d see them act not so friendly. They would partake in behavior that would bring harm to themselves and others. You’d realize they only act pleasant and friendly to manipulate people. And that they knew how to read you much better than you knew how to read them, and they would use that knowledge to their every advantage. They’re relationships with others were just as hollow as they are. They did whatever they want, simply because they could. And it’s fucking terrifying to watch in action. That being said I adore Lalo as a character. As scary as people like him are they are just as fascinating. Tony Dalton nailed this character completely.
Cluster B Personality Disorders (includes psychopaths) are an interesting study (preferably from a distance). You've spotted your first one, look into the rest it could save you a lot of problems in your life, could even save your life.
He was also testing Gus by saying they couldn’t be too friendly or the boss wouldn’t like it. Then he played it off like he was joking. Such incredible acting!
@@crazyaces4042that bell alsoDRIVES ME CRAZZYY I also think the director purposely made it so annoying. I’m pretty sure it’s for us to feel like Hector. He’s stuck in a crippled body and not being able to communicate.
The character Lalo works remarkably well because of the other characters reactions to him. His intense pressure on everyone he interacts with creates dialogue and responses we find so very engrossing. A fantastic character.
Lalo was the low key scariest one. Because he didn’t come off “scary” on the surface like Tuco, or the other gangsters. He has that charm and that evil laugh. And as twisted as it was, I’m glad that HE was the one that ended up haunting every single one of these BCS characters. Nacho, Saul, Kim, Gus, Mike, Gus’ guys, literally everyone was sh**ting themselves because of how crazy he was😰🥶 Best villain on the show💯🏆
It's insane how disciplined a drug lord can be in this show. Lalo is someone who'd go the distance to accomplish his goal and solve problems. Really, if this dude chose to do literally anything else, he'd still succeed in life.
That amazing detail when Jimmy says “How…?” And Kim adds onto it by saying “Howard… you need to leave”. So he doesn’t ask him or suspect that he assumed he was dead.
Maybe later,😂😂😂 It's a joke, but a threat, Power move. What a beautiful character, 💯 🔥 Writing 💯💯🔥🔥🔥 Acting 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Lalo and varga Should have thier own series
Lalo killing Howard is one of those OMG moments on TV. The show had you hating Howard because he came across as the posh, stuck-up lawyer that screwed Jimmy, but in the end, he did nothing but try to help him, particularly when his own brother didn't support his law career. When Lalo killed Howard, you had to feel for the dude considering what Jimmy and Kim did to him earlier that day.
Lalo closing the hatch and walking back towards the assasins in his house with that guitar music playing is one of the most badass moments in the show.
Smuggling Mexicans to US, the twins would have killed and burnt the entire truck. But lalo was considerate to give them other chance by returning their money. Lalo still haunts me sometimes 😢
Lalo needs his own series. Ruthless, calculating and charismatic, hands down Best ever salamanca.

I think it was to cover his tracks. He didnt want the mercenaries to say that he got away so he had to go back.

Problem with that is any paramilitary attacker would never go into the tunnel. Rather, they would search for the exit.

That being said I adore Lalo as a character. As scary as people like him are they are just as fascinating. Tony Dalton nailed this character completely.
Your description of this person sounds like a textbook psychopath.

Cluster B Personality Disorders (includes psychopaths) are an interesting study (preferably from a distance). You've spotted your first one, look into the rest it could save you a lot of problems in your life, could even save your life.
@@jelkel25 im prettu sure i have family like this :( But thanks for explaining personality disorders teaches me a thing or two
Did anyone notice how Lalo was testing Nacho's intelligence with that meal? By Nacho not taking it; he passed. Then Lalo knew that Nacho's reliable.
have you noticed lalo is suppose to be macbeth? he even has his lack of sleep.
I didn't notice that
@@possibear Who is MacBeth?

He was also testing Gus by saying they couldn’t be too friendly or the boss wouldn’t like it. Then he played it off like he was joking. Such incredible acting!
Stand up, palms out, "You're the guy for this." It never gets old.
i loved him from the first episode.. i knew he was going to be special.
Never seen someone say so many things that are not at all what he means and yet be understood so well anyway. 😂
It figures he would’ve been the one that gave him that damn bell.
oh that bell. AGH drove me crazy. LOL I've watched this series over and over so I skip the bell as much as possible. 😂😂
@@crazyaces4042that bell alsoDRIVES ME CRAZZYY
I also think the director purposely made it so annoying. I’m pretty sure it’s for us to feel like Hector. He’s stuck in a crippled body and not being able to communicate.
Lalo is fine as wine!
This guy was Smooth Criminal. I always wondered if he is so smooth in real life. Thats an amazing trait ❤️
Saul: What's so funny?
Lalo: Ahhh, you wouldn't get it.
Saul: Okay *transforms into Kim Wexler*
I gotta feeling they will revisit this universe to make a Lalo show. He’s too likable and vicious. He’s fascinating.
“You wouldn’t get it” 🏠 🔥 🛎️
Lalo was so 'innocent' in the first scene 😂
The character Lalo works remarkably well because of the other characters reactions to him. His intense pressure on everyone he interacts with creates dialogue and responses we find so very engrossing. A fantastic character.
Lalo was the low key scariest one. Because he didn’t come off “scary” on the surface like Tuco, or the other gangsters. He has that charm and that evil laugh. And as twisted as it was, I’m glad that HE was the one that ended up haunting every single one of these BCS characters. Nacho, Saul, Kim, Gus, Mike, Gus’ guys, literally everyone was sh**ting themselves because of how crazy he was😰🥶 Best villain on the show💯🏆
If you can love a villain then Lalo is your man. Great acting for sure
It's insane how disciplined a drug lord can be in this show. Lalo is someone who'd go the distance to accomplish his goal and solve problems.
Really, if this dude chose to do literally anything else, he'd still succeed in life.
I love this when Lalo say "Tell me again", and this sound is coming with words "again"
“Would you be interested in franchising because I would be eager to invest?”
-Eduardo Salamanca
The guy was a villain even for the villain of the show
That amazing detail when Jimmy says “How…?” And Kim adds onto it by saying “Howard… you need to leave”. So he doesn’t ask him or suspect that he assumed he was dead.
Bro, I just finished watching the entire series and just realized at this moment that the open sign was turned around 6:21
Me too!
Oh wow want a cookie 💀
Lalo is terrifying 😂
Funny cuz it’s my dads nickname/name 😭💀
@@isaiahaudelo1032un kadda kai miso running "LALO"!!?!?!?!😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯
If Nacho had still had his head in the game, he and Lalo together would've been a damn near unstoppable team
i think Saul knew exactly he was in over his head as soon as Lalo had the 8k ON HIM 😂
Lalo is easily a top 5 character in the whole BB/BCS universe, he jump started the show after a huge lull that lasted the whole season
I was rooting for him that’s how good he was
He really does seem related to Tuco. The cadence of their speech sells it
Almost every villain is either a loose canon, unfit for society, or putting up a facade. Lalo is just himself which is insane
Dude was a perfect villain.
I always wanted an uncle like Lalo Salamanca
Maybe later,😂😂😂
It's a joke, but a threat, Power move.
What a beautiful character,
💯 🔥 Writing
💯💯🔥🔥🔥 Acting
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Lalo and varga Should have thier own series
Deadly charm.
Lalo killing Howard is one of those OMG moments on TV. The show had you hating Howard because he came across as the posh, stuck-up lawyer that screwed Jimmy, but in the end, he did nothing but try to help him, particularly when his own brother didn't support his law career. When Lalo killed Howard, you had to feel for the dude considering what Jimmy and Kim did to him earlier that day.
Lalo closing the hatch and walking back towards the assasins in his house with that guitar music playing is one of the most badass moments in the show.
The way gus goes from being so friendly and polite to a death stare is so good 😂 love that guy, great actor
Best character on the show man . His presence was terrifying every scene
Lalo & Tuco are great chef 👍
Slight jim carrey vibe.😂
The thing is - Lalo can see the humor in everything. The last thing he does before he dies - is laugh.
.
It would be a delight to see anton chigurh and lalo together
The slide out of the booth got me lol
I love how despite how nice, charming, and agreeable he is he has this intimidating factor that effectively bullies people into getting what he wants.
Thanks for these vids man, love em, keep up the good stuff.
11:16 this is the moment Lalo became Joker
11:11 Lalo's laugh 😅😂
its the same scene as from the joker film basically.
its even a joker laugh.
loved this guy ❤
Pinche viejo loco....love him.....
Im aways craving that chicken after hearing folks describe how good it is
Smuggling Mexicans to US, the twins would have killed and burnt the entire truck. But lalo was considerate to give them other chance by returning their money.
Lalo still haunts me sometimes 😢
At 00:26 I can smell Lalo’s cooking 😮
19:43 when the killer close the hatch
18:40 this part still makes me giggle once in a while 😆
8:02 literally GTA Cutscene
Lalo did come as a terror to Jimmy's house
When he killed Howard and the 2 worlds came together was crazy AF and sad. Werner Zeigler ZEEEEgler
Somehow the Salamancas are all psychopaths, but he definitely takes the cake.
Lalo was the best character in this series period
I can't tell if Lalo was amused or offended when Jimmy said he saw the family resemblance with him and Tuco xD
you gotta admit he was the best looking Salamanca by far! And the smile.. omg a charmer from way back. Too bad he was CRAZY! 🤣🤣
Yes
Ahh lalo my favorite character so dangerous so lethal
