it's called character development sweaty
You don't understand, he cared for sweet little brock so much that his brain grew bigger and smarter because he was so wholesome, did you even watch the television series ?
No you moron. The idea was that Walt's meth was a lot purer than the other stuff on the market and smoking it allowed Jesse to detox and finally reach his potential.
He applied himself
I think the most absurd thing about his character development was that he somehow learned Walt's method for cooking crystal despite being the "oooooh wire" dumbass.
>Gale, despite knowing how to cook pure crystal meth himself needed one or two more cooks to learn the process
>Victor was killed for trying to stepping out of line and reproducing walters formula by just following the steps, however Gus wants to hire Jesse even though he is just copying the steps from walter.
Gale made sense because he was being meticulous, he probably could have cooked Walt's batch close enough already but wanted to be sure and didn't realise the urgency in taking over from Walt
Totally agree with the second point though, it's ridiculous to think that Jesse could not only do Walt's cook no matter the circumstances but that Gus would be alright with it.
At that point Gus knew Walt was a loose cannon and he was willing to accept anyone serviceable that wasn’t him
Gale didn’t need any more cooks really. He was clearly just against killing Walt but knew he couldn’t stop it
That's headcanon.
Gale was a naive dumbass and he fully believed what Gus was telling him.
Victor disobeyed orders but he was more loyal to Gus than Jesse was, but Gus decides to choose Jesse over Victor anyway. All so Walt would keep training Jesse... even though Gus could have just forced him to train Victor. Whatever, characters went full moron for no reason all the time.
so just like real life?
>but Gus decides to choose Jesse over Victor anyway
how is it that all these years later 95% of morons in breaking bad threads can't work out why Gus killed Victos?
It's because he was seen isn't it?
yes
what are you talking about? at his best his purity was the same as gales. 96 not 99
I thought Gale's was lower, like in the 80s?
no
Hmm, OK
watch the show if you don't believe me idiot, gale tells gus to kkeep walt alive because the remaining 3 percent is an immesurable gulf. jesses tested by the cartel late is like gales 96
Kek, settle down I believe you. I just checked the wiki and yeah it is 96%
>"I can guarantee you a purity of ninety-six percent. I’m proud of that figure… However, that other product is ninety-nine. Maybe even a touch beyond that."
Gale was literally a professional chemist. Jesse is a community college dropout who thought it would be a good idea to leave car keys in the ignition for two days.
My point is that even if Jesse mimics every step of Walts cook, he doesn't have the knowledge or mental capacity to create it on his own. ESPECIALLY not in a lab that he isn't used to. Even in season 4 he was a dumbass who would play around in the lab instead of paying attention.
>ESPECIALLY not in a lab that he isn't used to
This is probably the biggest point. Jesse could probably recreate Walt's formula close enough in Gus' lab with its extreme sophistication and ability to keep conditions the same for every batch, in that shitty Mexican lab he shouldn't have been able to recreate it.
Also the idea that Walt was able to create 99% purity in the RV on the first go with only shitty pseudo and high school equipment, then recreate that first go with the methylamine is even worse, as if being an extremely talented chemist would make up for obvious issues with the environment, cleanliness, sterilisation, improper base product and so on.
No victor was killed because he was seen at Gale’s murder site, later they show the DEA has his description and are looking for him
He didn't "learn" the formula. He memorized it. He just did it enough times that it was almost like muscle memory. I bet you he still couldn't name any of the chemicals used in the process. A child could do this.
Ok so if he memorized the formula then how was he able to recreate it in the mexican lab where he wasn't used to any of the equipment.
>have an entire scene in Mexico showing Jesse doesn't even know the names of the chemicals he's mixing and his entire process is just "...now pour in the barrel with the cartoon bee on it"
>morons still don't get it
The absolute state.
You fricking moron, you absolute buffoon, you didn't get the point of these moments at all. The show doesn't present walter as some all-knowing genius, and it doesn't represent jesse as some two-dimensional dumbass
The reason why jesse managed to solve those problems was only because unlike walter he doesn't have his head up his ass trying to come up with some mastermind 50-step solution
He's not caught up overcomplicating things which is why he has a perspective that's completely alien to the others - the best solution is the simplest one
That’s not a point of the show
yes it is. Walter's blind spots and hubris are made clear over and over again
>anons who think they're being funny but actually really believe that character development means the character changing
>anons learns about character development
These are the same people who ask the stupidest questions in /bcs/
Why do kim hate howard
one of the most moronic scenes is gus having a sit-down with two random cholos from the street and sacrificing his relationship with jesse for them. it's like he's a random street slinger all of a sudden
Gus viewed Jesse as being on their level at the time
no he didn't, walt made it abundantly clear how important jesse was to him
you shit and then wipe
i wipe and then shit
we are not the same
lololololol
Stfu
I shit first
then wipe
then take off my pants
and only then I go into the bathroom
born 2 shit
forced 2 wipe
Yeah I thought the same
>extremely meticulous about not getting caught
>won't even let onto Walt who he is when they first meet
>decides to show his face to two random gangbangers, as if there's no level of command separating Gus from them
If there's a level that fully separates you from street thugs, that level will eventually overthrow you.
what the frick are you talking about?
Stupid b***h.
you're the one making up moronic shit to justify bad writing
Tony Soprano would've done a better job with walt and Jesse if he ever decided to get into the meth business
Tony wouldn't have been stupid enough to get involved with drugs in general
What are you refering to
>Jesse learns 2 of Gus' dealers killed his friend Combo
>Tells Walt he plans to kill them
>Walt refuses and tells Gus his plan
>Gus makes Jesse and the dealers have a sitdown to make peace
Huh I forgot all about that. I'm sure it was stupid though
> Gus' guys force Tomas to kill combo
> Jesse tries to kill those guys but Walt sacrifices everything to save him
> Gus gives up on Walt and courts Jesse
> Jesse switches loyalty to Gus?
> Brock is mildly poisoned but fine after two days because Jesse refuses to listen to reason and Walt had to save his family from being murdered
> MR WHITE YOU'RE THE DEVIL!!! I'LL BURN YOUR HOUSE AND TRY TO GET US ALL ARRESTED BUT FRICK IT UP AND JUST RUIN EVERYTHING FOR EVERYONE!!
Jesse really was the worst character
it was commentary on overcrowded class sizes. jesse was a failure but some 1 on 1 time with his teacher greater improved his academic performance
Individual attention is important, its key, I think.
Meth makes you smarter but the gov doesn't want you to know
Amphetamine is better
it's entirely obvious they ran out of shit for his character to do by the end of the second season, when he was supposed to die. After that he was just the plucky sidekick who alternated between being a depressed blob doing nothing and being just as smart as Walt whenever the plot needed him to be (even though Walt himself should have been able to come up with those same ideas).
He was a smart kid who didn't get enough enouragment, that's his entire character.
Gus was grooming Jesse via Mike to kill Walt
I think the joke is that he didnt even suggest using the magnet that way
he came to the right answer with the wrong idea
The worst character development in the show is Jesse's friends who went from drug addicts that weren't interested in hanging out with Jesse if there were no drugs involved to pop culture spouting goofballs that saw him as extended family.
To be fair they become genuine friends in season 2. You can just chalk it up to early season weirdness. Same for BB season 2 Saul; in BCS he still doesn’t seem like he’d be comfortable having someone killed.
Breaking Bad is like a 7/10 but a lot of these criticisms are moronic. The show’s basically a comic book, why do you give a frick about the lack of realism? Walt’s meth has a sort of magical aura around it which allows him to quickly move up the ladder. Who cares if 99% pure meth isn’t anything special in real life, it’s more fun if you let them pretend that it is.
It also features a much more stable crime world than you’d see in real life, because addiction is by far the leading motive for crime in real life. But because most people don’t know drug lords or meth cooks, they can bullshit their way through these storylines because your average Joe can suspend their disbelief; non-autismos are not hung up on the realism of the show, they’re more interested in what the scenarios / interactions can make them feel.
Take the “This is not meth scene,” for example. What does the average fa/tv/irgin see?
>uhhhhhh, why no explosion kill Waltuh?! It blowed windows, why no Waltuh dead?
While a normal person would enjoy the differences in how Jesse and Walt approached the situation. They’d be entertained by the prospect of Walt earning Tuco’s respect only by doing something more unhinged than what Tuco would do. They’d understand the future the show’s headed towards after Walt’s adrenaline high in his car. Breaking Bad is a moronic thriller and it succeeds at that (but not much else), unironically turn your brain off and accept it. It was never trying to be what you criticize it for not being.
Also, not pointed at OP. The characters are all written inconsistently which is indeed a flaw. Season 5A was the biggest offender.
>Who cares if 99% pure meth isn’t anything special in real life
Is it not? I always imaged high purity drugs would be signicantly better. But I don't know if that translates into customers being willing to pay double if they're addicted bums.
You just take more of it.
It just means every dealer down the chain can step on it more, increasing profits all the way down. Street users are almost always getting complete garbage.
this was also around the time when meth was kinda glorified and seen as "this cool edgy dangerous thing from rural america". there's still vape juices called "heisenblue" for fricks sake.
More like 1 year without drugs. It make sense.
lol the biggest plot of this whole series is the obsession with purity, as if the difference between 96 and 99 percent even matters to some street crackhead. half the shit they buy is cut to shit anyway.
it's like heroin. it does't even matter how "pure" it is when it needs to be cut to even be used by junkies without dying. so what does it matter? and every dealer cuts it in the process anyway.
I used to smoke meth and it was all fairly high quality and I couldn't even tell you what percentage "pure" it is. I have no idea. some of it would leave a small amount of residue in the pipe, some wouldn't. I guess it was either impurities in the manufacturing or some sort of cut the dealers use. either way who fricking cares, just smoke more if it's not enough...
it's like obsessing over producing the purest ethanol, trying to get the last azerotropic water out when the end user just dumps in fricking OJ just to choke it down
also it was blue which is necessarily a impurity
What's it like being permanently impaired by meth?
jesse was meant to be killed off in like season 2 if i'm remembering right, but he was kept on because of the jesse/mr white dynamic
Crazy 8 was supposed to kill him.
Listening to the commentary jesse was meant to be killed in the episode where krazy 8 and his cousin show up to walt at the r.v (before they get phosphine gassed) not sure if true or vince just trying to add show-biz aspect to it, but it is clear he was in the show way longer than anticipated, like a fly with tourettes
That’s literally the pilot
Okay, I literally forgor
>THE MONSTROUS TERRORIST HEISENBERG!
>MURDERER OF THOUSANDS!
>THE 100 MILLION METH LORD!
And in reality
>Jessies b***h
>Tucos b***h
>Gustavos b***h
>Mikes b***h
>Jacks b***h
He never really did have an empire of his own, he was just tossed around like a rag doll. Non of the villains were actually scared of Walt. And by the final season some low life skinhead gang was the main antagonist.
Hector cucked the frick out of Gus
>creative-type dropout sucks at school but can do some outside-the-box thinking
Who cares? Seems believable. Walt is a chemist, not an engineer. He's not that creative.
Is the meth purity shit even a thing in real life? Like you can become the biggest druglord in history just because you are only cake baker that can make a cake that is 98% "pure" instead of 97%
