Spoiler alert! Because today I'm forever changing the way that you look at the final scene of one of the greatest television shows of all time - Breaking Bad. The show ended with what a lot of people thought was a cop out. But I'm here to tell you that the ending you thought you saw might not be as clear cut as you think.

You say Walter isn't punished for his crimes, but he lost basically the love of everyone who loved him. He also looses his morality. The punishment is his crimes.
I agree
I mean it doesn't make sense why he won't be punished by the writers
It was a very fitting ending
Especially losing his son, the one person who always believed in him had completely turned and his son would always remember him as the man who destroyed the family. That seems like the perfect punishment.
Yes his morality was very loosened lol
I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t like the ending
Lol i loved it... it was just perfect
Matt always twists things to fit his narrative lol.
@@doomnationalist although I like his videos, that is most certainly true
I really loved it
i loved the ending and he actually suffered, his family turned against him
I love how El Camino absolutley dismantled this theory in the first like 12 minutes
Ik 😂😂
For real though, I immediately started thinking of the scene where they say on the radio that Walt was announced as dead 😂
@@That_dude_Jax Then there’s the idea that Walt escaped the police or something of the sort, perhaps he faked his death
Bruh I came to the comments to see if anyone already said this lmaooo😭😂😂
@@rick-hv3ee me too.
i love how el camino tears this theory down in the first few acts
He must have done something to make them think he died in order to be able to continue living
@@teamofwinter8128 or maybe he didn't die at the scene but died in the hospital from whatever complications it was
OH YEAH i completely forgot about el camino while watching this theory 💀
Why?
@@lmaoded1550 it said he died in the movie
He was given two years to live by the doctor, and that’s exactly how long he ended up living. Brilliant foreshadowing
he didnt die to cancer tho
Cancer isn’t foreshadowing man
@@ham1847 The foreshadowing that he would die in two years...he didn’t end up dying from the cancer
@@mrwassef perfect foresight
@@ham1847 clearly oyu have no clue what foreshadowing is
Who's here after El Camino destroyed this theory?
Ho!
Makes me very happy.
Yes
Eyyy
Sebastian Hunt but Heisenburg still alive tho
MatPat: _"It's open to interpretation!"_
El Camino: _"Hello there!"_
"Everybody is good"
i honestly wish he lived in el camino cause realistically he should’ve
Better Call Saul: "General Kenobi!"
@@Yunginsanityy You mean he shouldn’t have died? If that’s what you mean, that’s stupid.
@@y3106no it’s not the video explains all the reasons Walt could have realistically lived that scene.
El Camino confirms that Walt died on the scene and literally everyone liked the ending.
I don’t really like the ending but it had to happen it made me feel depressed all through s5
For the record, this came out two years before el Camino, and around the time where people were dying for more breaking bad content
U know Karen's on Twitter didn't liked the ending it pissed me off to
@@racconkiler1645 Do you mean Walter is alive? He isn’t, it was confirmed he died
this was before el camino was announced
Who tf said that the end was cliche??? In fact, who tf didnt like this ending?? It's a masterpiece...
shaun my friend said that
@@qais- Shaun, your friend, lacks braincells.
@@slycoopervaultmaster1256 😭😭😭I'm crying
Yah everybody loves the ending
Do you know what the definition of cliché is? It was a cliché and not a masterpiece.
The ending is literally perfect
not at all
@@cryptomonster3595 would you like to explain how to improve it?
@@blurr1563 i just finished it and idk how to feel about the ending
@@antiplayz4535 IMO, it’s an amazing ending; I recommend watching the movie and better call Saul if you want more.
@@blurr1563 i watched el camino and i think it was so so unnecessary. but yea i will watch better call saul when i get the chance
Best ending to any series.
They didnt try to drag it on.
99.1% pure
Walter lost everything that he originally valued. Getting closure was somewhat frustrating, but it’s not like he got any forgiveness from his family, or even Jesse. In terms of his business, he did succeed though, killing his enemies and making sure the money reaches his family. Heisenberg succeeded and got closure, not Walt.
He completely lost the love of his family. His sons last words to him were "just die already". That's pretty bad, isn't it?
His brother in law dies because of him. His friend Jesse hates him. He dies a pitiful death after being robbed of his fortunes by the neonazis.
@@bashaman9297 his brother in law doesn't exactly die because of him
@@kaleblastnamehere8880 He ordered the hit on Jesse. That's the only reason they were there
Its the death of a real man who provides.
Yea, that was hard to believe...
Who tf actually thought that ending was bad. wtf.
@Abhay Raj DEFINITELY...
Its a really beautiful ending , couldnt have been better
@@ognjenstokic8819 it was elegant, what you could say.
I'd like him too live but the way he dies is cool
didn't think it was bad but it could have been way better.
Its so poetic that his main reason for doing all of this is because he was going to die anyways from an unstoppable cancer but in the end it was his own gun.
He IS the danger
MatPat: "Trust the creators"
The Creators: "No he's dead"
MatPat: Walter White may still be alive.
Vince Gilligan: I'm about to ruin this man's whole theory.
That's funny
@Ευαγγελος Ζερβας El Camino confirmed that walter did die
@Ευαγγελος Ζερβας yes and you said he might have faked his death but el camino confirmed he was dead
@Ευαγγελος Ζερβας I mean the creator confirmed he was dead so...yeah he's dead.
@Ευαγγελος Ζερβας Dude even the creator said that he died stop being so stupid
The fucking John cena thing was the last thing I expected, well memed matt..
+Chay Kun
*le tips le fedora le classy le sir le danke pépé le le le le le le le le *
i know right I lost my shit XD
+Chay Kun I hit like right then, very well placed.
+Chay Kun I expected a Dj Khaled.
made me lol
this is how this scene was written in the script
“We look straight down on Walt as he tumbles into frame, lying flat on his back on the floor. His eyes stare up at us, *lifeless.* And yet, his *final* expression is one of faint satisfaction.
We slowly CRANE UP, UP and AWAY from him. Walt shrinks smaller and smaller in frame. POLICE OFFICERS approach him now -- four, six, eight of them. They move in cautiously, their guns aimed.
*They’re too late. He got away”*
yeah... hes dead.
El Camino debunks this theory, but this theory was made before El Camino. It's not that he didn't do thorough research, it's that he didn't have all the info at the time.
Clickbait
You’re all ignoring the real mystery of the final episode.
What happened to Huell Babineaux when Hank was unable to tell him to leave the hotel room?
However he needed to leave to buy some tacos
He had an agent watching him so he was probably let go after Hank was killed
Gabe Jimenez r/wooosh
Bolo he’s still there waiting
@@CowboyGabebop r/whoooosh
No punishment for his crimes? What about the fact that his son fucking hates him and will never view him favorably for the rest of his life? I think that was a pretty severe catch to the whole "he won" thought process.
also not to mention his brother in laws dead, he ruined jessie's life and has no respect from anyone, i think he got a good punishment.
Totally.
He also lost like 7/8 of the money he earned
Ya now he hates him because he's an emotional teen he thinks he killed Hank and Walt didn't get to explain himself he'll probably feel different after skylar explains what happened and what he did for them
He's dead, he doesn't need respect. You also don't know if his family forgives him for what he does for them
the ending was actually pretty brilliant imo. Jesse escaped, and that's exactly how I wanted it to be.
Man, going back and seeing this just makes me laugh. How on earth did people see it as Walt lost nothing, HE LOST EVERYTHING, and the triumph of the last ep is watching him regain even a shred of all the humanity is threw away for 5 seasons. He didn't go out on his terms, but his final act was a great one, making their be a degree of ambiguity in when you can say he truly threw it all away and what he actually cared about is part of why I enjoyed the ending so much.
At least he didn't become a Lumberjack.
Hehe
+Adie Stone YES LOL
+Adie Stone poor Dexter Morgan :(
Dexter straight abandoned his kid like Walt
***** I want Dexter back :(.It was very original idea,serial killer that is killing other serial killers.I like the books too.
Walt never died. he went into witness relocation under the name Hal. then he met some woman named Lois & her four boys, Francis, Reese, Malcolm & Dewey.
he wouldn't be in witness protection he'd be in prison, he killed people and sold drugs
What about their 5th child Jamie?
+Callan West well that one is his. he porked Lois. but she came with a full package when he met here. that's why I didn't mention him
+BreachingTBone Best. Breaking Bad Theory. Ever.
LOL that's hilarious.
El Camino: I'm about to end this man's whole career
Wait people didn't like the ending? I thought it was a beautiful ending!
me to bro
It was. People are just upset that they can’t continue. It’s hard to say goodbye and denial is the first stage lol
Or maybe matpat was just trying to validate his video by saying people didn't like it. After all, there are haters for everything. But that is definitely misleading
I thought it was dumb. Partly because of all that "best episode ever" bull.
@@cctomcat321 it was as noir an ending as you could get. The monstrous Walter White gets some form of atonement and twisted justice against even worse monsters. And they wrapped up the family angle so well too. The finale for something like a breaking bad had to be about consequences, and boy were there many. What else did you need? What did you think was dumb?
The fact that Walter died on his own terms was a bittersweet ending. His family hates him,they will never know the money came from him and he dies but he is able to provide for his family,say goodbye to them and save Jesse. Even the ending is perfect.
Absolutely perfect.
Best ending, Ever!
It's that bittersweet ending that is so well constructed, that you feel like something's missing, or it's just hard to accept, cause u expect conflict, reconciliation, or any sort of thunder, but there's just...cleansing, if u could call it that
exactly and walters ego is so big that he would want them to know it was his, but he couldnt since his son hated him
"WINNING"....., Famous movie stars quote, lol.....!!!!!!!
@@victorjimenez9591 perfect way of explaining it
Walt’s character to me reflects a lot of what Light from death note went though. They started out with semi good reasons. As time progressed they became corrupted and became completely different than their former self which led to their downfall.
Light jumps into full-fledged megalomania in book 2. Imo his transformation to a bad guy was anything but gradual.
Both shows have similar themes
Exactly what I think!
@@thatsmyopinion406 💯
Many years later, He is confirmed dead in El Camino while Jesse is watching TV.
we can't apply that medical logic in breaking bad. it's the same series where one antagonist gets half of his head blown off and lives for a few seconds instead of dying inmediatly.
+agustin jimenez exactly. the same show where, somehow, walt slipped that ricin in lydia's stevia pack while it was in her hand without her noticing it at all
+Jarrell Jones No. Walt went the diner ahead of time and switched the packets, because she ALWAYS met him at the same diner at the same table and always had 1 stevia.
+Jarrell Jones THAT did not happen
theoretically, that's possible.
Well theoretically he would still be in shock and if part of his body was still functional he could be able to move for a few seconds before collapsing
A case where someone had scissors jammed in their head they were able to walk around make breakfast and get the mail because they were so used to it they did it without thinking
Gus may have been used to walking and do it without thinking
Am I the only one who really liked the ending?
no
Nah I kinda cried, but the ending fits
I liked the ending, but i didnt like the episodes leading up to the ending
I think this was the only way the show could have ended. Walt died ''in peace'', so I am a hundred percent content.
+LadyStarkgaryen I told my brother this and he said it was stupid
I think he should've cooked a batch that was 100+%
The one thing Walt truly wanted was to be remembered fondly after his death. He told walt jr that in like season 4 and he said it in like episode 3 or 4. Everyone hates him and he died knowing that.
why does 2:10 sound the the chase seen in spider across the spider verse, like when miles jumps out??😭
Walter: Hey Junior, want some pizza?
Junior: SsssSure Daad, how much do I owe you?
Walter:
It's on the house.
you sir deserve a pizza
:3 thx
On the roof?
😂😂😂😂 did you have to add the "SsssSure"
brilliant! I actually lol'd
I definitely would not call the ending to breaking bad a victory for Walter White. his entire family hates him, his daughter will grow up either not knowing who her father really was, or knowing he was a violent murderous drug dealer, he basically lost all respect from everyone he knew, his house was destroyed, and he died knowing it was his fault his brother in law was dead. Sounds pretty great to me!
+Eddy W I can't imagine Holly growing up with a good opinion of Walt. By the time she's old enough to comprehend, she'll only remember her dad as this ruthless and murderous gangster, who killed her uncle and terrorized her family.
+Kendra Marybeth Davenport exactly my point
+Eddy W Good thing you're not a writer.
+h3llraise why?
Eddy W I think I replied to the wrong person. Lmao sorry man
2:46 this didnt age well lol
huge L
Unsubbed
El camino: im bouta end this mans whole career
Do People really suggest Walt got everything he wanted and had a smooth sailing ending?? His relationship with his family was DESTROYED he didn’t even get a proper goodbye from his son, and he’s relationship with Jesse who he DID care about was effectively ruined as well. And he also lost Hank. Far from smooth
"He didn't get punished." He literally had to go through the most losses in the series in like 4 episodes. First, his relationship with Jesse, a person who was like a son to him, is totally wrecked. Then, his brother in law gets murdered infront and because of him, whilist the group of people who killed him take almost all of the money he worked for. Right after that, his relationship with his actual son and the rest of his family, including his wife is so drastically ruined as well. He then has to ask people that wronged him so much, people he hates so much, to give the rest of the money to his son as if it was from them.
he also lost like 80 percent of his money
And even if his money gets to his family, they wouldn't even know that it was from him
@@ashleydear2030 it hurts to think about it
exactly
That ending was 10/10. It isn't really a happy ending but it's not a depressing ending either.
"I guess i got, what i deserve" - Badfinger Baby Blue (the song during walts death scene)
It’s good closure
It’s a good ending for Walt, this is literally what he wanted from the beginning
Hated the ending
It’s kind of a bittersweet ending
Walt died surrounded by the thing he truly loved. The lab.
Then El Camino gets released years later and defeats his analysis
This is before el Camino, which confirms that Walt died at the scene. Also who didn’t like the ending of this show??? It was perfect… also his punishment is losing everything he did this for ( his family ) his son won’t even talk to him and his wife hates him just as much
He very clearly states that he did this for himself. He doesn't care. He never did. He just wanted to be killed on his own terms. He didn't deserve to die happily but ultimately it was a satisfying ending.
@@SauceageTF Well no. He started this for his family but later on found himself enjoying it. He still wanted to provide after his death and he kept doing everything to keep his family save regardless of his connection to them
wait, sorry i probably missed this scene, but which part directly confirmed walts death in el camino?
@@baq8533 scene Jesse is listening to the TV and it says that Walter was found dead in the lab.
His wife is straight up horrified of him and had some sort of Stockholm syndrome
I thought the ending was damn near perfection.
totally agree'd, it pisses me off that someone would make a video trying to explain how he didnt die. i loved breaking bad, and my all time favourite actor is 100% Bryan Cranston. but atleast i can accept the fact he died, and love the way he went out.
You can't argue with the facts, though!
gamingpredator so according to you someone trying to find facts about a show ending is bad?
Thwap23 It was perfection.
Nah nah nah, would have seen if his family got his money and what happened to everyone else like jesse, saul and when they found hank!
Matt: Walt is still alive
El Camino: I'm about to end this man's whole career
Plot twist: Walt cant afford treatment costs for his gunshot wound so he gets a job teaching chemistry.
Then “El Caminó” comes out and is basically just “Nah, he dead. Jesse road trip time.”
The creator only wants to finish Jesse arc, they think Walt arc is done
@@fikrijuanda6321 As it should be. Walt had his time but it had to end. Walter literally has nothing left to live for by the end of the show whereas Jesse still has a whole life ahead of him
"El Camino" was such a piece of garbage, it should be stricken from record.
@@mehbooburrehman it was pretty good.
@@mehbooburrehman I liked it only cause “more breaking bad” if I watched it as a stand-alone film, I’d prob not like it
I actually loved the ending. I really want to know what happens to Jesse
He drives off and then Need for Speed begins.
+Boxxylol1 MMD
But they have nine million dollars "donated" to them by Grey Matter.
me too
Sean Theurer most probably Jesse was caught by the police because his fingerprints were all over the meth lab, where walt collapsed, and maybe he was on the hook for the death of two federal agents
Walter is dead… In El Camino it’s even said on the radio that he died, I doubt the law would keep it under the low and lie especially how big the case was too.
dude that was in 2019 this is in 2015
@@ryan-mb5kq tf you talking bout? El Camino happens right after Breaking Bad, just cuz it came out a decade later doesnt mean it takes place a different time, have you not seen the film?
@@creamsmoda they're talking about when the video came out. This video predates El Camino. Matt pat wouldn't have known about the events that took place there. The video was made in 2015 and El camino was made in 2019.
Imagine if El Camino confirmed Matt's theory and didnt say that Walter died
“There is no punishment for the things Walt did” ARE WE WATCHING THE SAME SHOW HERE?
Yeah wtf is he on about
@@belgiancheesehead4778 Well... If we really think about it, when Walter first learned that his skills could be applied to cook meth, what was his end goal? To supply his family by any means necessary. He had his ups and downs with both Skyler and Walt JR. But as we see in the first episode, he seems unhappy, he's belittled by his son, wife, and brother in law, he lost his share in a million dollar business, he's stuck at a dead-end high-school teaching job, and on top of it, he gets diagnosed with cancer. I believe that Walter always had it in him, he just refused to show it. So this translates all the way to the final episode, where all of his goals are met, he killed everyone that stood in his way including Gus, he perfected a questionable but profitable art, saved Jessie from the Neo-Nazis, and in the end, he knows that his family will have enough money to supply them for good, while simultaneously getting revenge on the people who rejected him, he didn't get punished, he went through hardships for sure, but I think even Jessie went through more, as we see in El Camino, and he wasn't even the mastermind behind it all. Walter died on his own terms, as the video says, and this is confirmed by the apology he gives Skyler in the end, but that's just my take of it.
The secret about Game/Film Theory is that MatPat is a fucking idiot who happens to make really entertaining content.
He’d also just a shitty person in general, but that’s neither here nor there.
i mean, no legal punishments.
@@beanieguitarguy4070 wait matpat is a shitty person, or walt?
He lost his familys love though. His life never meant anything to him in the end. When his family left him and his son hanged up on him his heart was crushed. I would say that he lost almost all he ever cared for. the only thing he had left was his lab, which he eventually lost aswell with his death.
+The Captain All because of america's horrible health care system
+jessie briones That is actually a pretty good point...
+jessie briones holy shit
+jessie briones If we're going to say that we might as well blame the war on drugs. If meth wasn't illegal none of it would have happened.

Imagine a sequel of Walt Jr. becoming a king pin.😂
That will never happen dude
@@ashethedestroyer5114 he did say imagine
El Camino confirms Walt is confirmed dead by the police
If Walter lived the ending would've been cliche. Him dying is just perfect
Would've been unrealistic too. No way would he have gotten to a hospital and recieved treatment in time.
Fr practically every movie and show has the main character survive
Can you imagine how it would undermine the premise of the entire show if he got to just ride of into the sunset, everything went his way, as a big hero? Ugh, that woulda been insane.

+Sam Huxley I get it. It was a great show that could have went down more avenues or went longer with the original cast. But, as with most movies and TV Sitcoms, once your bring something back, it never has the same appeal.
Brandon Smith couldn't have described it better

I love Breaking Bad, and I'm sad it's over, but I think it was concluded nicely. There's really no need for more.
I just want one epilogue episode that shows all of the falling action, and the aftermath.
No atonement?? He literally lost his whole family and basically became a drug lord for nothing. He did it for his family and to secure their future and he failed at that and died. That’s tragic af
At the end I couldn't tell if he was dead or laying there in surrender to the police.
Imagine a sequel called breaking out. Getting walt out of jail.

He's dead.
Notice the key word "Imagine"

"There's probably a nearby hospital.". He clearly has never been to New Mexico.
I lived in abq for a bit, there is literally one hospital near downtown, he isn’t alive
lol
@@BigYosh you should’ve started a meth ring like this just for the memes
I love how he assumes that hospitals can magically fix massive gut wounds.
The crime was the punishment. He becomes so unhappy in his life and generally unsatisfied
As you made quite clear that he could’ve survived the wounds, the question is, does he actually WANT to survive those wounds? Walt at that point had no point to keep on going. He had gotten his kids the cash, made amends with Skyler, helped Jesse escape, and even (kind of) resolved things with Gretchen and Elliot. The question really is, did Walter still have the will to live?
nº1 rule for being a kingpin and criminal mastermind: always

have an escape plan
His intended escape plan was death but it failed.
+Zylus Tylorean If that were true, he would've finished himself off rather than leaving it to chance
+Matthew Lum he asked Jessie to shoot him
We will never know for sure.
+onehandyguy Walt didn't NEED an escape plan, this was a suicide mission. That's what was so fucking awesome about it.
I thought the ending was great... I didn't know so many people didn't?
+HisRoyalCarlness Agree I did hope more for jesse I hope better saul touches on that maybe like a reunion with his little brother or something or heck how about jesse becoming a chem teacher that would be great
+HisRoyalCarlness I agree, i was satisfied, although the showdown in the desert was the true climax for me.
+HisRoyalCarlness Gotta say I've watched that last episode god knows how many times and talked about it with SO many people and never ever heard the phrases "cop-out" or anything like that. Only ever been cited as one of the greatest endings in tv history in my experience.
+HisRoyalCarlness Same here, it was the right ending for such a perfect show.
+HisRoyalCarlness I also agree. I came to BB late, but then pretty much binge watched it, and loved it for the same reasons as everyone else, and one of which was the ending which felt satisfying, unlike SO many tv series these days. But this explanation is good too, makes sense, and I had heard that there was going to be a follow up. As TFT say, so much of this story was so carefully thought out and planned out and foreshadowed, it would not be surprising to find that they had planned this too.
years later the road to el camino gets released 😢
Oh Ho Ho, El Camino really proved you wrong
Vince Gilligan said he was dead. also the script page of Felina says that he dies
ExplosiveGaming Glover the producers of Game of Thrones said Jon Snow was dead, and so did his script. Lets just say he isnt dead
gunstickman let's just say he is dead. I'd rather go with the creator and script.
gunstickman also I feel the ending is 10x better if he dies
ExplosiveGaming Glover yeah i think hes dead too, but theres always that small chance :)
I can't be the only one seeing this. When the cop goes to check Walt's pulse, he gets the reading and CLEARLY shakes his head back and forth (the universal gesture for "no"), even the other cop covering him with the pistol nods at him in confirmation. It would seem that if they got even the slightest sign of a pulse they would begin life-saving procedures immediately but they don't they just confirm what we already thought, barring some miracle in the ambulance where they bring him back to life, Walt is dead.
1. I’ve literally never heard anyone complain about the ending of the series
2. Walter obviously dies
3. He didn’t get “everything he wants”; his family despised him, and have no idea that the money for his kids is actually from him, which is what he wanted more than anything all along. Not just money, but the recognition that he was the one who earned it
I don't think that you have a clue about what you're talking about. Walt dies on his own terms. He deserves so much worse. He doesn't care about his family, he clearly states that. He wanted to be noticed and he succeeded in that.
@@SauceageTF If he didn’t care about his family he wouldn’t have called his son much less left any money to them.
@@everittoverton8398 It was his last ditch move. He was trying to make up for how selfish he was. He realized that he failed and that all he could do was leave money for his family.

the cop that checks his pulse is shaking there head as no if you close up u can see the hair shaking right and left
When he let Jesse's gf die I lost it.
Up until that moment I loved Walt and I seen him as a man with the end in sights that wanted to set his family up for the rest of their lives, and also live a little bit for the first time.
I couldn't believe he chose to do nothing to help her it literally didn't make sense to me.
I'd have to watch it again but wtf did he do that for? Like cuz she was causing Jesse to not focus on work or something wtf?
If you watch it again he started to help but then stopped being if he helped her she probably would have made jesse have a overdose it's kinda stupid reason not to help her but I see we're walter was coming from
1. He didn’t help Jane because she was pulling Jesse away from the business.
2. They were planning to run away after this, and considering she coaxed Jesse into doing heroine with her, chances are he also feared she might end up causing Jesse to overdose. This would’ve given Walt a very basic justification which is all he needed.
if he let jane live, jesse would’ve died of heroine overdose. he cared about jesse
Before this video i had never heard anyone complain about the ending! I find it odd that full closure and Walter not getting punished are negative points because they do not define what makes good TV. Ive seen series like Sopranos where they don't give you the closure (despite making it very obvious) and people get upset about it. As for Walter dying on his own terms... why not? lifes not fair, i don't see it as a bad decision.
+xisumavoid OMG hey xisumavoid what up :)
+xisumavoid Xisuma, I haven't seen the series but I see your point, Why would it be wrong that he died on his own terms? I am guessing because people disliked him they didn't want him to chose himself or get a painless death
+xisumavoid Wasn't expecting toi see you here...
Yeah I never heard anybody complain about this ending either. We had just had the dexter finale back then which was complete shit so this seems like absolute gold in comparison. Hell they also gave abrams shit over that LOST finale that same night.
However I am very relieved this wasn't just a rehash of the "it's a dream and Walters dead in the car" theory. In reality everything possible popular ending was shown in the final season. The midseason finale shows what it would've looked like if Walter had gotten away with it completely. You get to see Hank slap the cuffs on him, and you see what it would've looked like if he had died alone in that cabin hiding like a rat.
+xisumavoid Good to see you here, man. I do see your point, it does make a statement about life.
Oops, so El Camino confirmed he's proper dead, gone for good. Ah well, fun theory anyway
Guess I’m not the only one writing this
When I saw rl Camino I was like no I lost a bet I lost 5 bucks that day
beefstew_ASURoman unknow now you see I won a bet when I watched El Camino. I knew he was dead!
Your mama
He is alive in the end
But in the movie el camino they say that he died
I'm VERY surprised that MatPat was not a fan of the ending. I felt like it was perfect.
I miss this show so much.
watch better call saul
+purely fo commenting Dont watch better call saul
where did it go? did it run away? you better go find it!!!
Umm u can watch it again ... its on netflix
There will never be a better show.
The Bad Finger song, Baby Blue, at the end was brilliant...Opening line, "I guess I got what I deserved..."
And then, the last line of the verse "...the special love I had for you, my baby blue..."
“walter is not dead.” el camino comes out:
This was in 2015 3l camini came 4 years later
The first ten seconds in are the BIGGEST reminders of 2015 I’ve had in a while
"No consequences?" Are you kidding? He died knowing that his wife and son hated his guts, and that his daughter would never know him. He had lost the thing that was most important to him--his family.
"He had lost the thing that was most important to him--his family."
His pride was the most important thing. Its the reason he left Gray Matter, it's the reason he became a teacher, and its the reason he chose to reject The Schwartz offer to pay for his treatment. The most honest moment between Walt and Skylar is at the end, when he finally admits he did it all for himself...not his family.
Exactly!!!! Was just going to day, at the end he admits to Skylar " I did it for myself,...and I liked it, I felt alive"
But he lost everything else
It's a poetic ending "He got what he always wanted, and lost everything he already had."
Oh my god, if Better Call Saul ends with the Walter White trial...
DerekSiems that would be incredible
DerekSiems Better Call Saul is the Prequel so it is before breaking bad in timeline so that could happen unless there is epilogue that passed breaking bad that the trial happens at the end which would be epic
It's also possible to be an alternate telling from Saul's angle.
It's a prequel now, but any time we could enter the breaking bad timeline and we already see glimpses of him in the post-Breaking Bad times working at Cinnabon. Who's to say Walter won't pull him out of retirement?
Better Call Saul actually encompasses the timeline before, during and after Breaking Bad.
If you have seen the first 3 seasons of Better Call Saul, it's not entirely the prequel of Breaking Bad. Better call Saul begins with an old aged Saul watching an old advertisement which reminds him of himself during his struggling days and then from that moment on, the Flashback starts, and this flipover from Flashbacks to Present time( the time after events of Breaking Bad) has been shown atleast 3 times during first 3 seasons.
1. I say there's a huge probability, that someone will knock on his doorstep and say "Yo Bitch, Mister White needs your help" (And if you're a fan , you know who I'm talking about".
2. And during the present time, Saul is shown leading a miserable life as a dishwasher in some mediocre restaurant, if he gets the opportunity to practice law again, he would gladly take it. That's the reason he would gladly accept Walter White's case if he gets the chance.
El camino and better call saul have entered the chat.
his family forever hated him, that's a punishment
Someone gets decapitated
Me: hes dead
Mat Pat: I don't think so
The Vsauce of films and games
Star wars logic
El Camino confirmed he was dead in like the first 10 minutes
@@sammybutler3027 El Camino came out in 2018
This theory was made in 2015 (It was plausible at the time)
Do the math.

Ok. Now use that science to explain Gustavo's death....
+Patrick Mckenna Right, but how did he get up and walk away as if nothing happened for about a minute? We spent 14 minutes talking about how Walter could possibly be alive, but I'd say this show defies physics. Walter can more than definitely be alive if Gus can shake off half his body being blown off before eating dust.
Gus only survived seconds after the killing injury. Compare to Walt, who lived long enough to have a conversation with Jessie, talk to the girl to tell her he poisoned her, and walk to the meth lab.
+Wesley Whiteside that's some philosophical shit mate, to show both of his personalities
+Wesley Whiteside It was just a fun thing that they have added Gus was a powerfull character a loved one he cant just "HAAAAAA!" and dissapear I think thats why they did it
+Wesley Whiteside Gustavo's death was "dramatic license". Sure the pimp bomb clearly obliterated both Tio and that piece of shit Tyrus, however Gus was further away, and he even stood up and back up a bit right when he realized he was FUCKED. They HAD to suspend disbelief just a little, because EVERYONE who saw that episode live watched Gus walk out, seemingly unscathed, and we were fucking speechless. Only then when the nurses look horrified do we realize, something is wrong, camera pans over to Gus missing half his face. He probably had no idea half his face was missing, since the bomb likely blew him across the room, he got up dazed and stunned, took a few steps, fixed his tie, keeled over dead. Believable enough for a fictional TV show. Not only was half his face blown off, he would've had shrapnel wounds equivalent to gunshots all over his body, as well as brain trauma.
This video kinda doesn’t work watching it after El Camino and Better Call Saul
In el Camino they found walts body if I remember correctly
