Fuches is the one who truly changed and, if not redemption, accepted and found peace with himself. I thought he was full of bullshit, but the guy really became someone else.
The only person the whole show, who actually did the right thing in the end, by the person that fucked them over the most.. Brilliant end to the series.. Much like Better Call Saul's fantastic ending.. This show will only grow, as the years go on
One thing that i think is getting overlooked is Unlike every other character, Fuches did his penance in prison. Every other character avoided their penance, and died/suffered for it. Fuches gets to live because he paid his debt
@Alpha Nerd well to be fair his girlfriend was murdered and covered up by Barry so justified kill in my opinion but to take ALL the blame that Barry did, idk. Irony? Punishment? A sad tragic ending to an acting teacher wanting to help his student. Barry and Gene got what they wanted in the end though but not the way they wanted it, a cheap "based on a true story" Hollywood movie. It's all up for debate.
@@reeceburns8077it’s good subversion of expectations. You expect Barry to go Jack Bauer mode, and taking that opportunity away from him and still having them all die is genius
And also as one last way to say sorry for bringing Barry into the killing industry. His speech before killing no Hank talked about how he realized he was just a person with no heart who took advantage of those guys leaving war. This was a way to give back after making Barry a serial killer.
@@Heyimpops no it’s not. Barry killed a civilian in war and got out of it through pulling strings through connections. And even without Fuch’s manipulation or his presence for that matter, time and time again his ego and narcissism lets him to believe that he has unlimited second chances. Fuchs wasn’t puppeteering Barry ALL of season 3 and somehow Barry convinced himself that if he forcefully turned Gene into an actor he’d be redeemed for killing his girlfriend. He has a warped sense of right/wrong and forgiveness.
well, he was the only "bad one" that got to live at the end, and as soon as he knew that Barry had a son he just forgot about his revenge and forgave him
It's weird and enlightening to think that, in a different manner, Fuches became what Gene thought he was. And even more than that, Fuches and Gene were both fatherly figures for Barry.
And while Fuches generally accepted he was a terrible person he still did something good, meanwhile Gene claimed to have changed but became a murderer.
I really didn’t expect Fuches to be the one with the good ending. But when he saw John and his focus on him, the only thing Fuches lied about was not having a heart and he realized it by saving John and leaving Barry without saying a word. That’s how you write a character to complete.
You're right. Fuches realized that his words only HURT Barry, and he had no desire to manipulate him anymore, so for the first time, Fuches used ACTION.
@@kdizzle901 I'm surprised people wanted an actual showdown. The only person I wanted to die was Fuches....and now I'm glad he didn't, that's some good writing. It really does play out like a game in the Yakuza series, you WILDLY go from hating a character to loving them to pitying them and back again.
This scene and Sally’s scene with John were so touching in such a bleak show. I like that barry’s “bad” father figure ultimately saves his kid and instantly forgives Barry and his “good” one shoots him in the head just as he’s willing to take responsibility. Very satisfying ending.
@@drumset7916 start with yakuza 0, awesome series with great cast. Also the “outrage” series is another great example of yakuza depiction as well as classic Japanese style grind house
I expected Barry to shoot Fuches for all the damage he did to him, but he still left with dignity, this time everything changed. Barry finally got his freedom
The dynamic between fuches and barry was the most dynamic and intense relationship in the whole show, and even though these characters are both psychopaths, this ending was so moving. Stephen root needs an emmy immediately.
I found it really curious that the inside of Hank's building was completely lit and the entrance to the building from the outside was completely blacked out as if the power was off. And when Fuches emerged from it with John and he looked Barry in the eyes, there's this unspoken dialogue between them. Through all of the horrible shit they did to other people and inflicted on each other, Fuches saved Barry's son... and then he gave the smallest of smiles before walking back into that pitch black abyss. Fuches was the only one out of the main cast to truly embrace who he was and make peace with it. Also, throughout the series, characters are always either unknowingly backing up into or walking out of the abyss and you start to notice it after Sally does it when she has that mental breakdown with her agent in season 3. But Fuches... he walks out of it, smiles... and runs back into it, like he belongs in it.
Fuches went through so much turmoil and change in his life, but one thing always remained the same--he chose Barry. Whether it got him shot or beat up or tortured, whether he could've found a new path that made him happy or his life would be ruined forever, he chose Barry. And even after 8 years of self-reflection and finally realizing the kind of person he is, he still chose Barry.
Not really - the exact opposite is true. In the first season we see him happily forcing Barry to stay on a path he hates because it makes Fuches money. He tells Gene that Barry killed Janice, which ultimately causes Barry's new life to fall apart. He asks for revenge against Barry in Chechnya. In prison, he initially tries to betray Barry. It's really only after he has a revelation in prison that he starts trying to actually help Barry. He goes through an arc of personal change.
I love that even though it ended on a truly tender note between Fuches and Barry, Fuches was still manipulating a situation and Barry to save and look out for himself as he’s done the entire series. Terrific stuff.
More or less. I think that little head drop at the end before he departs signifies that he realizes he's overstayed his welcome or he knows he's just served his own ulterior motives and must now slink back into the darkness
@@dereklangston9 I don’t think he manipulated Barry in this. Only because he was trying to save Barry in the prison. I think he was genuinely trying to redeem himself and knew saving John was necessary
in my opinion, fuches is the best written character of this show, if not of all shows. i love every other character, dont get me wrong, but man fuches pulled on my heart strings like no other character ive watched. what a show
Fuches was an ass in season 3 but somehow he become my favorite in season 4. Guy have obsession to control Barry but in the end he prove to be loyal and is the only one to actually able to accept how shitty he is, forgive and let go.
Same. Of all his great scenes in s4 for some reason my favourite was that small one when he's watching Rain Man in prison and the realization look on his face saying "that's us".
2:14 those head nods as if they were communicating without saying any dialogue, Barry looking down at his son as if he was saying "did you save him?" and fuches accentuating with his head slowly saying "yes" there was nothing more to say, so fuches retreats into the darkness finishing becoming the "raven"
Ah yes. Because Breaking Bad was the first time 2 men had ever given each other head nods. BB fans are so weird. They think BB invented every technique and every show copied them lol.
I love how Fuches watershed moment was watching Rainman in prison and saying "that's us." I knew when he first asked Hank for Barry it wasn't with bad intentions. He just wants to see "his boy" again. I love how Fuches doesn't speak, a complete contrast to his character so far.
From the moment I saw fuches and Barry driving around escaping from the homicidal wolf child in the previous season, I knew theirs was truly the best relationship, sure both of them had problems but still you can see how much fuches loved barry
Fuches ending was the one that most surprised me. He may have morphed into the "Raven," but he found peace within himself and was ultimately the only guy in the series who did anything resembling the right thing.
This was very breaking bad, the way that he shielded John the way Walt shielded Jesse in the final shootout, the way Walt and Jesse looked at each other one final time before Jesse leaves the compound, the way Hank holds the hand of the statue of cristobal as he bleeds out the same way Walt touches the tank before he bleeds out, there's a few parallels that I feel might have been intentional
Definitely were! Hader has said several times BB was a huge influence and even shadowed the BCS writers room for a day after being inspired by them too
Fuchs staring at Barry was incredible. Both saying sorry, thank you and goodbye without saying anything. Both of their faces half in the dark and half in the light until Fuchs accepts his darkness and fades away. Barry is left conflicted by the light, for the moment.
Fuches viendo y perdonando a barry una ultima vez y volviendo a la oscuridad de la que nunca pudo salir otra vez es poetico P.d el mejor final de todos los personajes fue fuches
Fue la redención de Fuches. Él aceptó lo que era y lo imperdonable que actuó en el pasado y como se aprovechó de Barry para beneficiarse y de cierta manera se limpió de todo eso protegiendo al hijo de Barry y haciendo las paces con él, yendose en silencio y en la oscuridad. El "mal padre"de Barry hizo algo invaluable por él, mientras que su "buen padre" le voló los sesos.
I loved the detail of "Live Wire" and "Groove Tube" becoming part of his gang. Sad they met such a brutal end, although Live Wire looked he was doing better than most, maybe he lived if people showed up in time.
i like how he was talking to hank about being in denial and how fuches accepted he was heartless, but he helps john out of the shootout and doesn’t pursue revenge on barry, kinda showing he’s in denial too and hes a better person than he thinks. i think he wanted all the smoke with barry until he found out he had a son
This show is a masterclass in writing and directing. Their faces are both lit up and dark showing the duality of man, fuches doesn’t need to say anything, his story arch is complete.
2:19 mixed emotions, slight smile, tear in his eye almost about to trickle eye but he keeps himself under control. He's no longer Fuches, he's now the Raven.
I kinda feel like over the last in-universe decade, Barry's felt suicidal. But in a low level version. He WANTS to die because living to be a good person is too hard for him. He'd rather be killed and thought a martyr than live and BE a good person.
Fuches was the straw that stirred the drink on BARRY. Stephen Root is simply amazing. This quite, touching end to Fuches and Barry is a highlight of a show I will always remember. ❤
Barry and Fuches looking at each other one last time reminded me so much of Walt and Jesse's last moment of seeing each other in the Breaking Bad finale
Fuches definitely isn’t fully redeemed but he found peace about himself and actually helped and apologized to Barry, that’s a good enough ending for me
Sally clearly hid herself when the fight broke out, but Fuches had to have immediately jumped onto John to cover him with his body to end up where he was at the end of it, unharmed.
That look from 2:20 onward. I hated this character but man that look without a word spoken between them is the only time this show made me cry. For me it just says "I truly am sorry for what I did and I hope this makes it right"
Everyone was talking about a hank spin off… honestly we need a fuches spin off. He has so much past to go through as well as potentially future they could literally do a better call Saul with fuches. Hank would be cool but I mean they could explore that like they did with fring in a fuches spin off or “the raven”
Fuches was a piece of shit most of the series, but in the earlier scene when he first saw John you could tell it was like him seeing his grandson, and him willing to risk his life to protect John just goes to show he does still have some good in him. Really says a lot about his character and it made me like him a lot more. At the end of the day, he still cared about Barry even after all they had been through
In Barry, central characters constantly give up happiness in pursuit of their petty desires or habits. Fuches fell victim to this multiple times, but what is truly fascinating about his transformation is how Barry was just as bad for him as he was for Barry. Fuches constantly put himself and others in danger in an effort to control Barry, and that was his tragic flaw just like Barry’s was his rage and Gene’s was his ego. Once Barry was gone, he finally became his own man. Prison didn’t just force him to become independent; it made him realize that he had neglected his own strengths, one of which being the ability to accept himself for both the good and the bad. His last conversation with NoHo Hank really highlighted that truth. It’s crazy to think Fuches’ happy ending was never a beach or a mansion filled with beautiful women, but rather the capacity to accept himself for who he is while surrendering petty grudges and helping the people he wronged. If it weren’t for John, that could’ve easily been the solution for Barry as well, but both of them together would’ve just led to the same toxic cycle. Barry escaped; Fuches found freedom.
Me encanto como fuches reconocio que el fue el culpable de todo lo que le paso a barry y no queria repetir el ciclo ahora con su hijo por eso se lo devuelve y regresa a la oscuridad como un verdadero raven
Fuches was the only person who ended the show with some measure of inner peace, despite being a terrible person, because he came to terms with who he really is and accepted it and embraced it
i like how the lighting illuminates half of fuches face at the end. it probably wasnt intentional/had any meaning, but i like to see it as even though he made barry's life chaotic and was manipulative, he still was one of the only ones to have barrys back
Stephen root not getting an emmy nomination for this season makes me not give a shit about the emmys at all anymore. He was the highlight for me this season, the way he expresses himself in this scene with facial expressions and no dialogue is fucking masterful.
Maybe I'm looking too much into it, but I like how his demeanor went back to his old self. Once John was saved, the Raven swagger was gone, and he was back to Fuches again.
Fuches is one of the most, interesting, complex and well written characters of TV history. He's funny, despicable and adorable at the same time. He changes his heart every time bc despite what he tells himself, he truly cares about Barry, and at the very end he finally proves it. Maybe it's not a "redemption" arc but it's definitely amazing character growth. Definitely one of my top 3 favorite characters in the show.
Fuches is the one who truly changed and, if not redemption, accepted and found peace with himself. I thought he was full of bullshit, but the guy really became someone else.
The fking raven
The only person the whole show, who actually did the right thing in the end, by the person that fucked them over the most.. Brilliant end to the series.. Much like Better Call Saul's fantastic ending.. This show will only grow, as the years go on
@@antedote1 reminded me more of breaking bads ending
He was just learning lessons for the number of new hired killers he would train

One thing that i think is getting overlooked is
Unlike every other character, Fuches did his penance in prison. Every other character avoided their penance, and died/suffered for it. Fuches gets to live because he paid his debt
Completely agree…this is what I was thinking
And now Gene gets to suffer his “penance” whether it’s justified is questionable.

Fuchs really proved he was the toughest warrior in the room, he may have been a fake soldier but he turned into a real one.
I was hoping to see Fuches’ reaction to Barry’s son being named after Barry’s dad.
Fuches was the last character that I would expect to truly change
Te amo fuches
Bravo Vince
Fuches was a piece of shit most of the series, but in the earlier scene when he first saw John you could tell it was like him seeing his grandson, and him willing to risk his life to protect John just goes to show he does still have some good in him. Really says a lot about his character and it made me like him a lot more. At the end of the day, he still cared about Barry even after all they had been through
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
Best scene in the show.
Fuches really redeemed himself with less than 5 mins of screen time.
Honestly damn near every single scene from this episode could be a clip! I anxiously await barry’s death to be released on here
oh, wow

A long a pious life is the funniest line in this episode
In Barry, central characters constantly give up happiness in pursuit of their petty desires or habits. Fuches fell victim to this multiple times, but what is truly fascinating about his transformation is how Barry was just as bad for him as he was for Barry. Fuches constantly put himself and others in danger in an effort to control Barry, and that was his tragic flaw just like Barry’s was his rage and Gene’s was his ego. Once Barry was gone, he finally became his own man. Prison didn’t just force him to become independent; it made him realize that he had neglected his own strengths, one of which being the ability to accept himself for both the good and the bad. His last conversation with NoHo Hank really highlighted that truth. It’s crazy to think Fuches’ happy ending was never a beach or a mansion filled with beautiful women, but rather the capacity to accept himself for who he is while surrendering petty grudges and helping the people he wronged. If it weren’t for John, that could’ve easily been the solution for Barry as well, but both of them together would’ve just led to the same toxic cycle. Barry escaped; Fuches found freedom.
Fuches did have a heart, after all.
Even though he called himself “a man with no heart.”
Nearly every scene with Barry and Fuches was filled with jokes and dialogue. Great that no words are shared in their last scene together.
Me encanto como fuches reconocio que el fue el culpable de todo lo que le paso a barry y no queria repetir el ciclo ahora con su hijo por eso se lo devuelve y regresa a la oscuridad como un verdadero raven
Season 4 Masterpiece
“Quoth the Raven, nevermore”
2:07 the breaking bad ending, and the nod at 2:26
Fuches was the only person who ended the show with some measure of inner peace, despite being a terrible person, because he came to terms with who he really is and accepted it and embraced it
He was like a father to him
He had a heart
Pretty sure this was a direct nod to jesse and walter final scene.
Fuches has more than earned his redemption he is the one who truly changed by excepting who he really was and saving Barry’s son.
Best scene in the show
2:34 Fuches jogging away lmao
i like how the lighting illuminates half of fuches face at the end. it probably wasnt intentional/had any meaning, but i like to see it as even though he made barry's life chaotic and was manipulative, he still was one of the only ones to have barrys back
In any (well made) movie or show like Barry, the lighting for every scene is very intentional in story telling and what’s meant to be portrayed
Stephen root not getting an emmy nomination for this season makes me not give a shit about the emmys at all anymore. He was the highlight for me this season, the way he expresses himself in this scene with facial expressions and no dialogue is fucking masterful.
the lighting in this scene is the best in the show hands down
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” - Carl Rogers
The Raven lives on
And again, Fuches gets away without a scratch.
But it seems like he's not the same monster...
Still, he won't pay for any of his crimes.
Got a bit of a Road To Perdition vibe in this scene.
Maybe I'm looking too much into it, but I like how his demeanor went back to his old self.
Once John was saved, the Raven swagger was gone, and he was back to Fuches again.
Completely agree!
Fuches is one of the most, interesting, complex and well written characters of TV history. He's funny, despicable and adorable at the same time. He changes his heart every time bc despite what he tells himself, he truly cares about Barry, and at the very end he finally proves it. Maybe it's not a "redemption" arc but it's definitely amazing character growth. Definitely one of my top 3 favorite characters in the show.
This reminded me of when we last saw Walt and Jesse together
