  • Breaking bad is my favorite TV series of all time and I love this universe, and until we get another addition to the universe fingers crossed 🤞
    I'll be keeping this "what if" series coming, and this video answers the question of,
    what if walter was arrested by Hank? And I feel it tells a story of sadness and depression to the actual consequences.
    Especially a drug kingpin with cancer in prison.

    This actually makes a lot of sense. The biggest reason Walt Jr. Hated Walt so much was because he thought that he'd killed Hank. So if he didn't, Jr. Probably wouldn't like him but he'd be alot more sympathetic.

    1:45 I have to disagree, Walter was not satisfied he provided for his family. Sure that was an element of what he did near the end of his life to attempt to make good of it, but in the final episode he admits to Skylar that he did everything he did for himself. For his pride. He was never actually doing anything for his family he was doing it for his own sick satisfaction, his own personal power fantasy come to life. Other than that I do enjoy the speculative writing here, and I thoroughly enjoyed the video.

    I always imagined what kind of a multi-way rumble in the afterlife between the restless spirits of all of them.
    From the Salamancas, to Gus Fring and his crew, the cartel bosses, the Federalés killed by the IED, Max and Gale, Tortuga, Crazy-8, Emilio, Nacho, Andrea, Todd, Drew Sharp, Jane, Jack Welker and his crew, Hank, Steve, and Walter himself when he joins them on the other side.
    They would all pile on Walter, except for Max who would be asking “Who’s that, who are all of them for that matter!?” and Fring says “Long story!”.

    I like the what if but one inconsistency for me is that Hank would 'taunt and laugh' at Walt. I don't think he would. He'd be angry, and pissed off, and demanding to know what the hell was going on in his head. Betrayal isn't easy to laugh off.

    I really love the emotional beats of this what if!! It feels really true to the characters :>
    Though one thing I don’t know if I agree on is what happens with Walt’s money. The whole point of Hank luring Walt to his money is that that would be used as evidence against him, otherwise they don’t have enough for a compelling case. Now there are a few ways I can see this going:
    1. Hank arrests Walt, but Jack still comes and gets the money. Instead of your ending though this would see Walt have to fight legal battles until his death, as him and Hank are stuck in deadlock. Walt dies without proper punishment, and Hank is robbed of taking down Heisenberg.
    2. This follows the same events, but Hank and Gomez recorded the phone call that Walt had with Jesse before he was arrested. This would then lead to his conviction.
    3. Alternatively, Jack doesn’t collect the money, and the DEA sniff it out, creating a solid case against Walt, and bringing him down also.

      But vince is aware he is the villain
      Vince beleives walt needs no happiness and doesn't deserve it and I think this would have been a great ending it is also kind of an expected ending in a way like sure he gets punished but walt dies knowing he is still respected and still loved.

      @amartyapandit Рік тому +14

      While I appreciate the creativity of what ifs. I have watched the show a number of times and this is the least likely thing walt of S5 would do
      Firstly the money wasn't hidden in such a way some dumb posse would find it. Secondly as soon as walt enters prison the prisoners do not see him as some timid dying former school teacher. They see a fearsome drug kingpin called Heisenberg. They remember the 2 minute murders everyone respects and fears this man more than anything and that pushes Walt to a bigger point. He had no enemies at this point in prison he rules the jail with his status. He starts making makeshift drugs and starts earning prison money amassing a five start treatment and a local prison army ready to charge at anyone and anything. Eventually this pushes the Heisenberg persona to go even darker as he starts the hunt of Jesse Pinkman and possibly even Hank after he feels he left him to rot. Walt still had too much power. More than ever tbh he has an entire prison on his fingertips, Jack's gang still respects him He can leak the fake confession too. Going to jail would be more of a vacation for him than anything
      If that happened season 6 would be a civil war between Pinkman, Hank and Heisenberg. Walt could potentially escape, team up with Saul under the allias of gene. Deliver the millions to his family, murder Pinkman. Maybe hank dies in the crossfire and Walt with him by his own bullet maybe he changes his mind and Pinkman escapes from Prison and El Camino begins.

    One issue with this, Skyler likely gets locked up in this scenario. The main reason she wasn't prosecuted in Ozymandias was Walt's call where he threatened and berated her to make the feds believe she was an innocent victim browbeaten into silence, with only her (known kleptomaniac and distraught over her husband's death, so unlikely to be believed) sister Marie knowing the truth. With Hank being around to testify that Skyler was an accomplice in obstructing justice and laundering Walt's money, she probably goes down as well.
    Walt Jr and Holly could possibly be remanded into Hank and Marie's care after this, so it doesn't change the events of the video too much, but it might lead to Walt finally realizing just how wrong his actions were. His list of victims is no longer just criminals or faceless names, but one of the people he loves more than anyone, and someone who he got started down this whole journey to provide for. He may well fall into suicidal thoughts and possibly even act on them, although I might be biased on that because I like the idea that, despite the cancer and his failing health being the driving force behind so many of Walt's actions, it never actually kills him.

Only reason Marie and Skylar were still speaking to each other in the finale was because she thought Walt abused Skylar and forced her to do his bidding.

    The only problem with this is Jack still getting the money.

But Jack and his crew getting it immediately if they decided to dig at the coordinates would get the money before the DEA could arrive.

The two latter possibilities being the most important and they’d want to be cautious. It’s way different if Hank himself was the one who arrests Walt, since it’d affirm his loyalty to the DEA. This isn’t even mentioning the other shit he’d provide to the police, such as Saul’s involvement and him reclaiming 80,000,000 drug money which would make it even less likely he was doing something nefarious. So it’d just not happen.

    I still prefer the show’s actual ending. But what I love about this alternative is that it hits home the differences between Walt and Hank’s versions of manhood and how that affects Walt Jr. I’ve always thought the central idea of Breaking Bad was that Walt wanted to be like Hank, the tough guy figure Walt Jr. looked up to. Walt is incapable of being a stronger man for his family because he cannot lay his self interests aside; his conceptions of toughness and sacrifice are distorted.

    The funny thing is, even though Hank dying saved him from prison, Hank dying really is the worst thing that happened to him. It was the straw that broke the camels back. It was the lynchpin for Skylar finally standing up to him, Walter Jr. still blames his dad for Hank's death, and then there's Hank, even though the 2 had their differences, Hank really was Walt's best friend in the end, and now he's dead. Walt died with no one, all because Hank got caught in the crossfire of Walt's 'empire'. But in the end, Walt was always putting his loved ones at risk through his actions, especially Hank. And his lonely end is exactly what he deserved.

If we add up his prior arrests and apply it to the basic sentencing matrix(which is use throughout the whole US Jesse would be looking at 9-18 years, not including his cooperation with the government, I would say he’d be looking at 5-10, or 6-12.

    2. Walt family not getting the money. Walt can literally tell Saul to give his family the money. Of which I can explain how it will go. Walt would obviously create a plan to tell Saul to give his family his money. That or he can go to court and create a deal. A deal of which could give money to Walt and he can send it to his family. Like he is the one who killed Gus, exposed the cartel, and did what the government couldn’t do.

After Walt dies, Skylar would probably try to make amends with Marie, but Marie would insist in order to do that she needs to come clean. After doing so, that's up for debate what Skylar will do. As for Jesse, he's safe and sound in Alaska living his new life, and Andrea and Brock are alive and well. Saul would continue being a criminal lawyer, and Jack and Lydia would have Todd continue trying to cook at his full potential. Hank would get wind of the meth operation and continue his search

    The thing is that Walt is the main character so giving him a 100% sad ending feels like a stab in the back. Bad man or not, this ending makes it feel like the entire show was for nothing. Walter, by the end of the show, has proven himself a man. He provided for his family. The whole show was about him making money for them so ending the show with him not managing that is anti-idealistic to the show's goal.
    If Vince took your route of letting Walt being sent to prison he would've thought of a way to make sure Walt's family gets the money. Maybe Jack and his crew went MIA with Walt's earnings and Walt (in prison) makes a deal with Hank (or any other authority entity). He'll bomb on Jack and in exchange Walt's family will get some of the money they hold. Illegal, I know, but the police are making many illegal deals with criminals to juice out info from them. Hank rejects at first and points at Walt being the ego man he is, but Walt says that the whole ego thing was about being a man doing things his way. Providing for his family is something he does because he genuinely cares for them. Walt asks Hank "Are you a man"? Hank says "F*ck off". Walt says "In no time there will be reprocutions for my identity. My family will lose their house, no one will hire them for jobs. Think about Skyler... Think about Marie". Hank silences for a second. Walt says: "If you are a man, you will provide for your family". It's cool because Walt turns the whole "be a man" tantrum Hank threw at him several times back at him. Hank, fed up by the whole Heisenberg shindig, is now relieved and no longer driven by hatred. He thinks rationally and realises that no one's gonna touch that money, nor do the people murdered/involved in this saga will come back. He gets to catch criminals and make sure Skyler and her kids get some financial insurance. So he accepts Walt's offer. Walt reveals Jack and his crew's location and actions, they get caught, Skyler gets a barrel full of cash (11M$), because Walt insisted on them getting the money he earned, and not the government's. Than Walt can die happy.

      Vince confirmed that Hank was killed because that's what he deserved for his misguided reasoning to arrest Walt. Though he said he wanted to arrest Walt for his kingpin career, deep inside he mostly felt personally betrayed by him after everything he caused for the family. He essentially wanted to get revenge on Walt.
      The whole point in that is Hank realizing Walt ain't AS bad as he thought at first. Remember Walt willing to give Jack all the 80M$ he had made, just to let Hank live? Hank, who thought Walt is driven by ego alone, realized that he DOES care for his family more than anything. That's why, when he said the "You're the smartest guy I ever met. And yet you're too stupid to see... he made up his mind 10 minutes ago" he was not angry at Walt anymore. He kinda left him with a pseudo peace. He was still angry at him, but somewhat forgave him.
      Vince, up until that point in the story, didn't write Walt to be arrested by the end. He was building up to Hank dying and Walt being rejected by his family. All the pieces were planted for Ozymandias to play out the way it does.

      ​@@murgeproductions Okay then. I am also a content creator and it's great to see you making these awesome theories. Actually, I may make some breaking bad theories soon. :) But in the meanwhile here are a plethora more for your list.
      8. What if Don Eladio/Hector didn't kill Max?
      9. What if Gus died instead of Max?
      10. What if Gus hired Jack Welker's supremacist gang?
      11. What if Lydia was working with Gus much earlier?
      12. What if Todd spared the kid?
      13. What if Walt redeemed? (or felt some remorse for all the lives he damaged, ie. the plane crash which he never subverted.)
      14. What if Walt saved Jane?
      15. What if Walt's students learned he is Heisenberg?
      16. What if Walt cooked Cocaine?
      17. What if Krazy 8 killed Water White?
      18. What if Neil Kandy kidnapped Brock and killed Jessie in front of the former?
      19. What if Gus was accepted into the Cartel?
      20. What if Mike never lost his son?
      21. What if Jimmy Mcgill and Walter White switched places? Walter white is the lawyer and Jimmy is the chemist. But they retain their same families and personalities.
      22. What if Abuelita was part of the cartel?
      23. What if Lalo survived but EVERYONE thought he was dead? *Great one

    If de-aging software became more common in the industry some of these What Ifs would be nice to have.

    But if Jack's gang got Walter's money, then what proof would be left that Walter was Heisenburg?

    I find it hilarious how Walter planned on killing a man with a ruger lcr

    This could easily be done again with two more occasions
    When Walt crashed the RV and instead of a firetruck passing him by it was a cop car
    When Hank went to investigate the lead on Jesse and ended up at Tuco's hideout
    I feel like Walt would try and spin it as a thing where he was kidnapped by either Krazy 8 or Tuco (Depending on the location) and Walt could get off lightly and use the experience as a warning of getting into the drug game and will end up taking Eliot on his offer for a job a Greymatter

      Murge productions already made a video about Walter killing himself in the first episode so your first idea was basically done.
