Walt never wanted to tell Tuco or anyone, they just found out. Walt isn’t an idiot, he knows that if he were to tell the people he did “business” with he would be putting his family at risk.
@@KaelWrit I think Walt was doing for it family until is family fell apart and Skyler started sleeping with Ted. He was lying to himself and believed it until he began working with Gus again.
@@anthonyponce9702Walter’s family didn’t “fall apart.” He destroyed it. Skylar only slept with Ted because she had filed for divorce but Walt wouldn’t GTFO. The only thing she could think of was to try and make him not want to be with her. It fascinates me how frequently people point the finger at Skylar for being a “cheater” and completely disregard the context.
At first, it seemed to me that he liked Walt. At the very least, he sympathized with him, and often gave him advice. He started hating him when he started doing things that endangered Gus' drug business.
Mike was ready to kill Walter so Gale could take over. Mike didn’t give a shit about anyone who except himself- we saw that in BCS with Nacho as well in BB when Gus killed Victor. Mike was a thief as a cop and then a drug thug. No sympathy here when Walt killed Mike. Mike would’ve done the same! He was even ready to until Gale was shot!
@@chriso5193 No doubt Mike was a ruthless criminal. If Gus wanted someone dead, he was there to pull the trigger. You're right in that it wouldn't have made a difference what Mike thought of Walt. He did, after all, kill Werner Ziegler and failed to protect Nacho, both people he really liked. Where his hatred for Walt began, however, is a different question. I would argue he didn't have any animosity towards him until Walt started being a threat to Gus' operation running smoothly. Interestingly enough in spite of Walt's choice to 'protect family' and save Jesse, which I'd argue is one one the few right choices he made during the entire series.
Interesting analysis. To me, it feels like Mike knew he was part of a bigger system even if he didn't particularly like it. Whereas Walt (at least until the very end) thought of himself as being outside of that circle. Even when he positioned himself as running things, it was like he still saw himself as being separate from the 'common criminals' because he was highly educated and skilled, despite having personally killed several people and therefore absolutely as heinous as many other people he surrounded himself with.
On top of all the other reasons Mike would hate Walt, I think he also just hates how Walt never seems to shut the hell up. Dude loves to hear himself talk and Mike doesn't seem to really care for talk much.
Of course he hates him, he hates Walters arrogance and ego. Mike is humble, he knows his limits, he knows what he can and cannot do. Walter does not, he always wants more to feel more powerful to inflate his ego ever more.
Mike is still heavily flawed as a person. He put too much faith and loyalty to Gus b/c it worked for him, even tho they killed mercilessly to ppl who threatened the business, at least first opportunity they get. Even when Gus killed Victor, Mike just turned a blind eye, so Gus's business worked better than Walter's, but they were more or less just as brutal
Nah Mike was wrong when he was telling off Walt. Gus was on a collision course with Walt ever since he had Combo murdered. I would even say that he did it on purpose to corner Walt and get him to cook for him. It would've worked perfectly except Gus didn't account for Jesse and the happenstance that Tomas was his girlfriend's brother. It only ran "like clockwork" if Jesse had been willing to look the other way while people he cared about were getting murdered.
Yeah basically what Mike is saying in his last scene "you should have let Jesse die". This is of course after Mike and Jesse formed a close relationship.
Yeahh it never made sense why mike made it seem like it was all walters fault when it really was Jessie who started everything. Like yeah mike is right about everything else :/ but to pin it all on Walt is just silly
At first no. Mike probably just thought Walt was a liability and a loose cannon as he told Saul. After Walt's actions got his daughter's money taken twice? Yeah pretty sure there was hatred there.
I think Mike had to work with people he strongly disliked, and had to put up with it, I think from the get go he had to put up with Walt and disliked him
Mike gradually started hating Walt at the beginning he considered him a talented harmless good person but later on he understood that Walt was a manipulative genius and then he hated him
At first I think Mike just thought he was a liability, Werner 2.0, who didn’t really know what he was getting himself into. I don’t think Mike liked him per sé, in the same way that Mike liked Werner, but I think Mike thought Walt was just in over his head and looked out for him as one of Gus’ employees. When Walt gets Jesse to shoot Gale he quickly realises that he underestimated Walt, and that he’s a loose cannon that will do the unthinkable. In that moment he sees that Jesse wasn’t the loose cannon of the two of Walt and Jesse, it was Walt pulling the strings all along. He definitely grows to hate Walt in that moment. He then has to watch as Walt continues to act out until Gus has to directly intervene, watch as the DEA look into Los Pollos as a direct result of Walt, then watch as Walt kills Gus which leads to the whole thing blowing up and Kaylee losing her nest egg, and by the point Mike gets that nest egg back, the DEA are already all over him as a result of Walt’s previous actions. He definitely despises Walter by the end, and honestly rightfully.
Not by the end. Lydia hired someone to kill Mike and his guys. But Walter actually killed Mike and his guys, right when he was about to escape, ensuring no money got to his granddaughter
Walt seeing his family as property is a point that deserves more consideration, and perhaps even should have been brought out more in the show itself. It's very true.
This point was proven masterfully throughout the series. Walter told white lies to keep his family in check (pun intended) and proceeded to the garden variety kind, and escalated to gaslighting, threats, blackmail, narcissistic triangulation, and imprisonment among others. These aren’t things you do if you are in an equal partnership- he took Skyker’s autonomy away. He never said outright that his family was his property but his actions proved otherwise. Besides that, he treated everyone as dispensable, completely dehumanizing and objectifying them in the process. Us, as the viewers, also became wrapped up in his acts. He justified them, and as such so did we. We became an extension of him. Just like his family.
In the end, Mike’s family received nothing and thus everything he did was purposeless. Mike was an extremely skilled man and surely could’ve had got a very well paid job as a private detective or a security consultant, which well maybe less well paid than his job with Gus, would’ve have left plenty of money to his family and wouldn’t have necessitated him committing awful crimes. Now, Mike obviously didn’t know he would be caught, but he still took a risk and was still willing to be a murderer, when surely he could’ve seen other options.
Mike did what he did because he felt guilty about the death of his son. The irony is that not only did his family receive nothing after he died, but he died avoiding responsibility for his crimes: just as he had avoided responsibility for the police corruption that led to his son's death
Walt was disloyal and unprofessional. He couldn't be content making a shit ton of cash as a worker bee. If push came to shove if Walt behaved himself Mike probably could have convinced Gus to let Walt walk. It's not like Gus didn't have his own loose ends that he was paying off anyway
I think Mike 100% hated Walt. Sure, he respected snd empathized with him at first, but as the Story progressed, he grew more and more hateful towards Walt. Pretty much from the Season 3 Finale to Season 5 Episode 7.
Mike did everything for his family, without need for recognition. Walt did it all to gratify his ego. Mike held himself to strict rules of professionalism and minimizing harm. Walt kept crossing lines with greater ease. Mike worked to secure the money his family needed, Walt worked to indulge his greed. Mike demonstrated tremendous amounts of self control. Walt had none, killing Mike for offending him, acting like a deluded narcissist throwing a tantrum.
Mr Banks was in Beverly hills cop with as Victor Maitland's bodyguard, Mike's character in BB was calm , collective knew his limits and risk, was Mike really was going to iced Walt at the exchange
7:23 I don't think the insult really cost him his life. Walt had already taken the gun from Mike's bag before they started speaking, he'd clearly entertained the idea that he would need to kill Mike in order to ensure that he could go after the guys in prison without fear of retribution. I don't think he really wanted to do it until Mike tore him apart like that, but chances are he would have done it either way unless Mike indicated consent by giving him the names.
@@serialbinger Yeah it did, I just think counterfactually there was no way he was gonna let Mike leave without agreeing. It's like Jesse later says, "if he was out there you'd have to look over your shoulder for the rest of your life, and that's not how you do things".
I’ve been asking myself this question for a long time, same as did the Salamanca twins respect Nacho, or bloody Tywin Lannister respect or even like Ned Stark? This was brilliant, thank you
He doesn't hate Walter, just because he asks him to put his d away doesn't mean he hates him ok jokes aside, Mike despises Walter because of how he ruined everything, they literally had the best deal with Gus, and Mike would hate being compared with Walter because both do it for their families while the difference is, one actually does do it for the family and the other just did it because he liked it, and was alive. You can tell who already.
Mike is one of my favorite characters in the Breaking Bad universe, but despising Walt for taking out Gus is simply unreasonable. Walt figured out that Gus was only keeping him alive in ordered to groom his own replacement. With Gus alive Walter knew it wasn't a matter of if Gus would have him killed, but when Gus would have him killed
Mike was a thug!!! I didn’t have any sympathy for him when Walter killer him. Mike was ready to kill Walt on Gus’s command, but they outsmarted Gus since Gus knew he needed a chemist. All part of the crime world they were in. Mike didn’t stop doing what he was doing after Gus killed Victor- so there wasn’t anything sustainable AS MIKE told Walter in his final speech before his death. Walt would end up dead before he was ever given his freedom from Gus- so this summary is awful!!! Go ahead and try to challenge/provide an argument against. Just can’t be done.
Walt had a problem with help which is toxic masculinity. He thought he was less of a man if he couldnt provide all of his family's needs. Mike did it to leave something for his daughter clear difference here in motivation
Oh shut up. It's not toxic, it's what men are forced to do. Don't project the behavior of men in your life onto these characters. Ted showed what a provider would do.
Mike hated Walt because he, like Walt, was doing it for himself and pretending it was for his family. But through Gus's demise, Mike can no longer use his family as an excuse for his crimes since the money was intercepted by the government as a result. . With all Mike's skills and expertise, he could have found legal work to provide for his family like work as a PI or in a security firm. But he wanted the crime life, like Walt did. So that's what he went for.
@@DrJ-hx7wv Like Mike started out with alternative opportunities to provide for his family, Walter gained alternatives along the way like Gretchen and Elliot's job offer. But he stood by being Heisenberg because that's what he wanted to do.

This is even more profound when you also take into account everything Mike has survived through, even from BCS.

Mike smelled a bad egg a mile away. Went against all his instincts dealing with Walt. Probably more disappointed in himself in his last moments.
