Precisely. It went from a very good, realistic depiction of a quiet out-there premise and was a quirky dramedy. Then, this happened. It turned to absolute mindless slop thereafter. As if you replaced some good writers with a bunch of comic book writing morons.
>It turned to absolute mindless slop thereafter
Nah, it was pretty grounded until season 3. The fulminated mercury shit was just a one-off frick up. It definitely was an early warning for what was to come, though.
Worst thing is that crazy 8 decided he had to kill Walt right then and there with a plate. Why not leave and immediately return with a weapon? Why not strangle Walt? Why not just track him down some day?
I still like the scene but like many other parts of the show it relies on the characters being moronic.
It feels like something they did because they were getting pressed for episode count, narratively there's more intriguing and intelligent ways for Hank to have finally figured it out.

Brainlet takes, not every twist and turn has to be deep and complex. Complacency happens to everyone, especially someone with an ego as inflated as Walt.
He repeatedly tells you that he's doing everything for his family, how can anyone miss that?

I think by S3 it was super obvious Walt was an ego maniac, don’t know how people missed that
I think it's the only bathroom in the house, remember how Walt pissed in the sink when Skylar locked herself in there?
Suburban flats tend to have fricked up floor plans like that.
Christ I grew up in a 5 person household and there was already the occasional struggles with 2 bathrooms, I'd lose my god damn mind if I was stuck with only one.
They leave immediately afterward after he claims he's having tummy issues. He then crashes the SUV in a panic attack on the way home.
He admits what he found to Marie once he rechecks all of the accumulated evidence and decks Walt in his garage.
I literally turned 360 degrees and walked away from the screen when I saw that. The blast was strong enough to break all the windows and AC but Walt gets away unharmed because he closed his eyes? And people have the balls, THE BALLS of make fun of animekino.

Put yourself in krazy 8s position, you know he's going to accept sooner or later he has to kill you.
Are we finally gonna admit that BCS is superior? Vince being less involved is so apparent with how much less it relies on shock value and le badass moments.
I think the third season of BCS is as good as BB but otherwise I prefer the latter. Especially season 1 and 2 of BB, and 4 to a slightly lesser degree.
I find that once chuck dies and Hector is paralyzed Bcs feels a bit narratively lost.
I can agree that Season 4 kind of meanders after Chuck's death but I think it picks up again strongly in Season 5.
What I don't get is all the claims that 1st season sucks because it's too slow, I think if it didn't take its time with its build ups the pay-offs wouldn't have been nearly as good.
season 1 has a kind of absurd/wacky charm to it that makes it good in its own way but it's true that it doesn't really get the drama storylines going until like halfway through, iirc.
I find the tonal shift in season 5 jarring. I don't know if it had to be so gritty. It's definitely competently made but I just don't like it that much personally. Lalo is pretty amusing though
I think it gets gritty in 5 unfortunately because of its nature as a prequel series. They probably felt they needed to start aggressively building towards BB's tone the closer they got to the end, for better or worse.
BCS was lame the stuff at HHM was gold but the series took a nose dive when chuck died the more it dipped into the 'breaking bad universe' cartel stuff the worse it got you could tell that the writers were too insecure in the original premise and tried as hard as they could to tie into the original series
I like BCS more overall but I'm not gonna pretend it doesn't occasionally have the opposite problem of taking too much screentime on unnecessary shit.
BB can often suffer under its breakneck pacing, BCS can often suffer under its anemic pacing.
>BB episode starts with walter fricking speeding his car through traffic and wishing his family goodbye
damn calm down dude
also why is walt jr treated as this entity that just appears when needed in season 4? entire episodes without him being home even once. only get the cripple on screen when it suits the narrative of walt and his b***h wife huh
i guess yeah but dude they're having these big arguments at home
it would've been interesting to have walt jr ask what they're talking about at least
like mommy and daddy suddenly drink super expensive wine and buy a lasertag- no, carwash and it's just like DURR OKAY DAD CAN I GET A-A-A UHHHH CHALLENGER NOW DADDY? OK
Cartel was the only thing with any appeal. It’s slop, sure, but the law side was just the latest in an endless line of “stupid people doing stupid things” shows.
S1-2 are just ok, but 3-6 are pretty great, and the ending is pretty satisfying. I just loved seeing the schemes jimmy would pull and how it fricked him up later. Honestly, nippy is my favorite episode because of it
>BB Mike >Old, grizzled bastard who survives by being smart and cautious, still gets occasionally fricked up like having part of his ear blown off, and shot by walt >BCS Mike >Le expert ninja hitman who effortlessly karate slaps people 40 years younger than him. "le beware of old men in a profession where people die young..."
No.
>I lost interest after Chuck dies
Same. The most interesting storyline was Jimmy vs Chuck and other lawyer shenanigans.
The moment it started focusing on the cartel shit is when it became boring.
Why did Mike feel the need to specify that his guys were solid? What else would they be? Does Mike know of other guys that are liquid or in a gaseous state?
In English "solid" can also take on the same meaning as "reliable" or "trustworthy" when used to describe a person. In this context Mike, was calling his guys "solid" to mean they could be expected to adhere to an implied criminal code of not cooperating with police and especially not naming their co-conspirators. I hope this was helpful.
>no crybaby homosexual Jesse >no annoying b***h Skylar
Yeah BCS is better, in fact the quality only goes down because of BB's cartel capeshit creeping in.
Nacho was a million times better than Jesse >Not a degen drug addict that relapses every other fricking episode >Didn't have a downward spiral of mental breakdowns over a couple of necessary murders >Took the initiative on trying to get rid of the absolute psycho filth that Tuco and Hector were >In the end, did it all to keep his father safe like a good son >Went out on his own terms, metaphorically telling everyone who manipulated him to go frick themselves
Nacho was based
I don’t get the hate for nippy, it’s not exactly filler since gene is trying not to get caught by police by letting the taxi guy get into a heist thing. It also ties into the slippin jimmy stuff
>oh no muh irrelevant side character who’s in 3 episodes got a different actor
Yeh I liked the first version better but it doesn’t really matter. Nippy is still kino
I stand by the opinion that the Gene episodes in S6 would've been my fricking favorite thing ever if they hadn't changed Jeff. The old one is ambiguously creepy. The new one is too meek, easily manipulated.

I tried rewatching it recently and it just isn't any good on second viewings. The show really thrives on the "what's going to happen next". Once you know everything is just long and boring.

Ironic that the people complaining about the comic book movie tier scenes in BB are dick riding BCS. Saul wouldn't have gotten away with most of his tricks and schemes. The decoy for example would not have flied in a trial. That was ridiculous
They’re two sides of the same coin, but BB was at least fun. BCS has so many boring subplots. >how will Jimmy quit his job but still keep his signing bonus? >how will Jimmy sell his commercials so he doesn’t lose his money? >which wall of the cell phone store will Jimmy bounce the ball off of next?
Ironic that the people complaining about the comic book movie tier scenes in BB are dick riding BCS. Saul wouldn't have gotten away with most of his tricks and schemes. The decoy for example would not have flied in a trial. That was ridiculous
I'm not a BCS fan, but the amount of dick riding BB receives is insane. Especially considering it's always praised by it's fanboys as le gritty and realistic show.
Plus you have boring plots like >how will Skylar help Ted during his IRS audit? >how will Skylar acquire a car wash? >how will Walt get rid of this fly? Let's waste an entire ep on this garbage >how will Jesse stop being le depressed?
Part of me honestly wonder if Breaking Bad inspired that one FUBAR shooter game where the guy I'm playing also turns into his own villain after using some weapon of mass destruction, and decides that it was the Colonel who's running all of the shitshow in the sandstorm city.
Walter started what he did for financial reasons but ultimately went through with it in the long run for personal fulfillment reasons. If you can't recognize this fact, you may be terminally autistic.
Except Walter didn't do what did initially for financial reasons, he did it because his terminal cancer diagnosis would've exonerated him from consequences from doing whatever the frick he wanted.
Anyone who misses this subtext is a genuine NPC.
Yeah bro he punched the hell out of that hand dryer for shits and giggles
It never ceases to amazes me how out of touch the average Cinemaphile user is with human logic and emotional response.
There is no trying to appear smart when interpreting Breaking Bad or BCS, you either get it or you're a fricking moron. The series really isn't that fricking deep, it just hits the emotional notes it needs to in a well executed manner.
Unfortunately for your stupid ass, you fall into the latter category of my initial statement.
I feel like too many schizos identify with Walter justifiably because it is relatable to be stuck in a dead end job with no prospects and an ultimately fulfilling life.
But using that motivation to justify the shit he does and for the true reasons he does it is asinine, and makes you look as deranged as he is by Season 5.
I love coming to Cinemaphile, 10 years after a show has ended to watch you all hate on it..
As if no one can go on the archives and see all the petabytes of data that were wasted discussing this show, and the anticipation this show built up until the final, oh and how you were all creaming yourselves over the fact that the show got neo-nazis and how cool they were with their moustaches
Mercury fulminate will only produce a severe concussive explosion, enough to freak out a dumbass like Tuco without seriously injuring anyone.
Grenades have fragmentation shrapnel from their casing to ensure injury/fatalities. Nobody got seriously hurt or died from Walt's stunt because there was no significant shrapnel inflicted on anyone involved.
Cranston was the worst. His entire shtick was >squinting >opening mouth a little >tilting head slightly
Gus was an example of this too, but to a lesser extent.
>Blast so great it explodes all the windows. >Somehow Walter White is still standing at the exact spot the blast went off. >also his whole bag with the same explosives which are really sensitive doesn’t trigger whilst next to the explosion.
making everything a cliffhanger whodunnit makes people race through every episode of your show but the big downside is there is zero rewatch value. something like mad men is endlessly rewatchable but i cannot rewatch breaking bad
Ozymandias’s 10/10 on IMDB is unironically impressive. You can’t get the internet to agree on anything, yet the entire internet agrees it deserved a perfect score.
The finale was the most bizarre thing I've ever watched.
The only thing missing was Walt doing a backflip while delivering a wicked one liner.
“You made a mistake coming here, Heisenberg. You put yourself in a lot of danger.”
“Oh didn’t I tell you?”
<fast zoom to his face and then cut to him pressing the button to trigger the gun>
“I AM the danger.”
<backflips over the shower of bullets>

The entire heisenberg nonsense turned the show into a cartoon. Well that an actual cartoon villains every week.
show me 1(uno) shark in the show
Why didn't they just blast.him after the smoke cleared again?
Because he gained their le respect
>He had to fix his le tie.
Because he was carrying an entire sack full of the substance that just caused a small explosion from one piece.
Would've been way funnier if he accidentally squeezed the bag too hard and blew himself up.
>This is not le complete plate
What's wrong with that scene?
He didn't know
Worst thing is that crazy 8 decided he had to kill Walt right then and there with a plate. Why not leave and immediately return with a weapon? Why not strangle Walt? Why not just track him down some day?
I still like the scene but like many other parts of the show it relies on the characters being moronic.
You're surprised that a low impulse control criminal is bad at planning ahead?
Low impulse =/= moronic
Read news articles about how some criminals get caught/die. A lot of them are moronic
>OH NO THE MURDEROUS EVIL CRIMINAL WILL MURDER ME DESPITE HIM HAVING A FAMILY WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I thought this was a pakman easter egg at first lmaooo
Why did walt get so mad about the plate being shattered, was it his favorite or something?
This explosion makes no sense. This should have been the end of the show.
>He is le Heisenberg?
This moment ruined the show
It feels like something they did because they were getting pressed for episode count, narratively there's more intriguing and intelligent ways for Hank to have finally figured it out.
Having him find out because Walt keeps serial killer tier mementos out in the open was pretty kino in a way.
nah the forced evil nazis did, hank and jesse should've been the final bosses for walt to overcome

I'm pretty sure Jr is out of the house a lot more once they start having obvious marital issues.
Seasons 1-3 of Better Call Saul are some peak television.
Unfortunately only a 1/3 of S4 is good and only half of Season 5/6 are good.
BCS doesn’t get good until season 4 and only stays good through season 5.
Most brainlet post ITT
Sorry, Chuck is just BCS’s Livia. The was much better without him.
Yes
How did you manage to get the quality gradient of BCS precisely backwards? Don't tell me you love cartel shit THAT much?
Cartel was the only thing with any appeal. It’s slop, sure, but the law side was just the latest in an endless line of “stupid people doing stupid things” shows.
kek

Heh. Ya got me.

Good lawyer stuff is fun, but BCS’s was cartoonish.
The point is that anon got filtered by even the cartoony lawyer stuff.
Cartoons aren’t for everyone, specifically the live action adult kind.
I was just about to mention how bcs feels like two different shows aiming at two different audiences.
You can tell who the idiots are irl when they say they prefer the cartel stuff in BCS.
S1-2 are just ok, but 3-6 are pretty great, and the ending is pretty satisfying. I just loved seeing the schemes jimmy would pull and how it fricked him up later. Honestly, nippy is my favorite episode because of it

No.
I couldn't continue bcs after season 1, it's so boring. I dont mind bb being over the top sometimes
Haha nope.
Main character girl ruined every scene she was in.
Also the ending when Saul suddenly gets struck by guilt feels so incredibly wrong.
BCS is too unfocused for my tastes, too many plot lines going on at the same time and not all of them are good
I lost interest after Chuck dies
>I lost interest after Chuck dies
Same. The most interesting storyline was Jimmy vs Chuck and other lawyer shenanigans.
The moment it started focusing on the cartel shit is when it became boring.

Why did Mike feel the need to specify that his guys were solid? What else would they be? Does Mike know of other guys that are liquid or in a gaseous state?
His guys were not remotely solid, about 5 of them flipped kek. Mike was kind of dumb about some stuff
In English "solid" can also take on the same meaning as "reliable" or "trustworthy" when used to describe a person. In this context Mike, was calling his guys "solid" to mean they could be expected to adhere to an implied criminal code of not cooperating with police and especially not naming their co-conspirators. I hope this was helpful.
>to mean they could be expected to adhere to an implied criminal code
Then why didn't he just say this? Frickin' Walt Whitman over here.
BCS was very grounded compared to BB which feels contrived at best.

You people are beyond contrarian and clearly werent there for /bcs/
>no crybaby homosexual Jesse
>no annoying b***h Skylar
Yeah BCS is better, in fact the quality only goes down because of BB's cartel capeshit creeping in.
Yeah but it has crybaby homosexual Nacho
Nacho was a million times better than Jesse
>Not a degen drug addict that relapses every other fricking episode
>Didn't have a downward spiral of mental breakdowns over a couple of necessary murders
>Took the initiative on trying to get rid of the absolute psycho filth that Tuco and Hector were
>In the end, did it all to keep his father safe like a good son
>Went out on his own terms, metaphorically telling everyone who manipulated him to go frick themselves
Nacho was based
I think Nacho's story arc was a really good version of a deal-with-the-devil scenario. Far superior to the counselor for example.
>he doesn't enjoy Nacho looking frustrated and fed up at all times he's on screen past S1

>correct it's LA methamphetamina

WHAT A SICK JOKE!

I miss /bcs/
WE will never see kino that good again
Me too.
Vince should be replaced with Peter on these webms, BCS was mostly him.
I don’t get the hate for nippy, it’s not exactly filler since gene is trying not to get caught by police by letting the taxi guy get into a heist thing. It also ties into the slippin jimmy stuff
I am still mad
>oh no muh irrelevant side character who’s in 3 episodes got a different actor
Yeh I liked the first version better but it doesn’t really matter. Nippy is still kino
I stand by the opinion that the Gene episodes in S6 would've been my fricking favorite thing ever if they hadn't changed Jeff. The old one is ambiguously creepy. The new one is too meek, easily manipulated.
How would things play out if og Jeff was in the other gene episodes
>not watching this show when it aired for the first time 10 years with all your Cinemaphile bros
>not being on the edge of your seat during "I am the one who knocks"
>not exploding with glee at *ring ding ding ding ding ding ding*
How low we done fall, Breaking Bad fans? Is this what happens when the next generation grows up on binge streaming?
OP you need to watch your honor for a laugh
Imagine BCS' last 2 seasons without Lalo. God that would've been so shit.
>imagine
what do you mean, i remember the scenes without him and they were ass
>Imagine this part of the storyline without the character it literally revolves around
Yeah, what a fricking concept you pseud.
barely a step above "but lalo was in the last 2 seasons"
Black person
>Both main character couples are a white guy with a blond hair blue eyed wife

>Both shows make casual sexist remark/jokes
>Both have a fair degree of sexualizing women
>They're both near universally loved by all political spectrums
How did they do it
the characters are realistic other than kim
Breaking Bad is the one true kino we have, you homosexuals are insufferable
It's certainly not Lost or The Grifter
Both dogshit shows
newbie detected. You have to go back
No thanks Redditard
>Kini
It was always an "entertainment" show. A slop tier one by the end.
>kini
Think.
Type.
What about Sopranos?
This show really will go down as one of history's greatest. In 50 years they will still be talking about it.
Anna Gunn got a lot chubbier in Season 4, almost start looking like a different actress than her Season 1-3 look
i miss /bcs/ posting
it was so fricking good
All I got from the show is that new Mexico looks like a shit place to live.

>tfw you can never watch Breaking Bad for the first time ever again
I just did recently. U jelly?
I tried rewatching it recently and it just isn't any good on second viewings. The show really thrives on the "what's going to happen next". Once you know everything is just long and boring.
the comfy 2000s fast forward scenes are still comfy. the skyler girlboss/ted shit is tiresome though
t. rewatching rn

The black and white is one of the lamest TV gimmicks I’ve ever seen. Vince probably thought he was doing a Schindler’s List.
Lamer than attributing Oscar bait flicks as pioneers of "black and white" (whatever that means)?
Even lamer.
I thought it was neat. S1-S3 are comfy. New Mexico deserts and dry heat always make for comforting environments.
I went to Albuquerque last year. It’s as shit as the show makes it look. You realize why Walt had rocks in his front yard. There aren’t many other options.
Are you not from the southwest, anon? Nothing man made is going to compare to the natural beauty of the desert, to even attempt to compare it shows me you quite don't get the desert, lol.
>Go to the Netherlands

lmao nah im gud brah
I like canyons but not just rolling plains of sand.

Go to the Netherlands
Doesn’t the Netherlands have the least interesting nature in the world? Pretty sure they’re competing with Denmark for that title.
>throws it in front of him, not even to the ground, there's no impact to account for the explosion

>The terminally ill homosexual walks out with his clothes intact and without a scratch

At least the song and Tuco were cool.
Breaking Bad was always a goofy live action cartoon for adults.

Nah it’s a LA anime, so is BCS
You’re moronic
>Howard and lalo together
Cute
for some reason weebs love the shit out of these shows
True. BCS is no better.
>breaking bad ended 15 years ago
its so gay how le critique community have built a pyre about walt being the devil
Ironic that the people complaining about the comic book movie tier scenes in BB are dick riding BCS. Saul wouldn't have gotten away with most of his tricks and schemes. The decoy for example would not have flied in a trial. That was ridiculous
They’re two sides of the same coin, but BB was at least fun. BCS has so many boring subplots.
>how will Jimmy quit his job but still keep his signing bonus?
>how will Jimmy sell his commercials so he doesn’t lose his money?
>which wall of the cell phone store will Jimmy bounce the ball off of next?
I'm not a BCS fan, but the amount of dick riding BB receives is insane. Especially considering it's always praised by it's fanboys as le gritty and realistic show.
Plus you have boring plots like
>how will Skylar help Ted during his IRS audit?
>how will Skylar acquire a car wash?
>how will Walt get rid of this fly? Let's waste an entire ep on this garbage
>how will Jesse stop being le depressed?
Comic book stuff is fun kino come on
Part of me honestly wonder if Breaking Bad inspired that one FUBAR shooter game where the guy I'm playing also turns into his own villain after using some weapon of mass destruction, and decides that it was the Colonel who's running all of the shitshow in the sandstorm city.
Spec Ops: The Line
Great game. Love it.
That was obviously inspired by Hearts of Darkness, brainlet
>it's a space station
This thread is proof that no show/movie is safe from ridicule bo matter how good it is
Walter started what he did for financial reasons but ultimately went through with it in the long run for personal fulfillment reasons. If you can't recognize this fact, you may be terminally autistic.
Except Walter didn't do what did initially for financial reasons, he did it because his terminal cancer diagnosis would've exonerated him from consequences from doing whatever the frick he wanted.
Anyone who misses this subtext is a genuine NPC.
>midwit makes shit up to appear smart
Yeah bro he punched the hell out of that hand dryer for shits and giggles
It never ceases to amazes me how out of touch the average Cinemaphile user is with human logic and emotional response.
There is no trying to appear smart when interpreting Breaking Bad or BCS, you either get it or you're a fricking moron. The series really isn't that fricking deep, it just hits the emotional notes it needs to in a well executed manner.
Unfortunately for your stupid ass, you fall into the latter category of my initial statement.
>Breaking soiboy doubling down on his stupidity.
Classic
I feel like too many schizos identify with Walter justifiably because it is relatable to be stuck in a dead end job with no prospects and an ultimately fulfilling life.
But using that motivation to justify the shit he does and for the true reasons he does it is asinine, and makes you look as deranged as he is by Season 5.
I love coming to Cinemaphile, 10 years after a show has ended to watch you all hate on it..
As if no one can go on the archives and see all the petabytes of data that were wasted discussing this show, and the anticipation this show built up until the final, oh and how you were all creaming yourselves over the fact that the show got neo-nazis and how cool they were with their moustaches
>everyone is fine despite it blowing out an ac unit
>the rest of the bag didnt explode
Mercury fulminate will only produce a severe concussive explosion, enough to freak out a dumbass like Tuco without seriously injuring anyone.
Grenades have fragmentation shrapnel from their casing to ensure injury/fatalities. Nobody got seriously hurt or died from Walt's stunt because there was no significant shrapnel inflicted on anyone involved.
The impact was so much that the entire floor's glass and ACs flew out yet Walt survived with only a nosebleed? C'mon man.
nice save howard
This is the better show, no contest
>I AM LE ACTING!
Is there a bigger case of this?
Cranston was the worst. His entire shtick was
>squinting
>opening mouth a little
>tilting head slightly
Gus was an example of this too, but to a lesser extent.
>Blast so great it explodes all the windows.
>Somehow Walter White is still standing at the exact spot the blast went off.
>also his whole bag with the same explosives which are really sensitive doesn’t trigger whilst next to the explosion.
Totally unrealistic scene
making everything a cliffhanger whodunnit makes people race through every episode of your show but the big downside is there is zero rewatch value. something like mad men is endlessly rewatchable but i cannot rewatch breaking bad
The Chuck story was stupid.
This show is for poor people. Only poors rave about it.
>the 3rd best tv series of all time isnt good because... IT JUST ISNT GOOD OKAY?!
>defines the quality of shows based on imdb ratings
Ozymandias’s 10/10 on IMDB is unironically impressive. You can’t get the internet to agree on anything, yet the entire internet agrees it deserved a perfect score.
>Could you reach into your reddit pocket
>i am the one who watches the annoying orange
bump
I like how in the end, we all actually just like BB and BCS
They’re good slop. In that same category with Dexter and early House of Cards. Not realistic, but fun once or twice.
when this aired I shouted KINO at the top of my lungs and almost passed out
The finale was the most bizarre thing I've ever watched.
The only thing missing was Walt doing a backflip while delivering a wicked one liner.
“You made a mistake coming here, Heisenberg. You put yourself in a lot of danger.”
“Oh didn’t I tell you?”
<fast zoom to his face and then cut to him pressing the button to trigger the gun>
“I AM the danger.”
<backflips over the shower of bullets>
