Earlier they translate that as “deep thinker.” It seems maybe they are implying that “deep thinker” and “big talker” are somehow related ideas. Or, they intentionally mistranslated it to make the subtitles more interesting than they otherwise would have been, because they didn’t want to reshoot the scene with a new script. Either way, it is a strange choice that they translated the same word in two such different ways.
@@syrinx114no, it's cuz Filosofo has a different meaning in spanish. u use it for someone who's a smartass and talkative, like a "philosopher" the connotation here is sarcastic. kinda hard to translate to english properly without it sounding unnatural
I think by philosopher he means, essentially, someone who thinks out loud. this is a way to call him a thinker, but the real point is to say you talk/snitch a lot.
Not necessarily in on it, they're just not going to risk doing anything about it, especially for a guy they don't care about. It's cartel business, for everyone else "working in the dirt" isn't so bad after all.

There was so much red flags, the bartender requesting to be cautious when drinking, how Bolsa mentions tortuga being a Talker, forgetting the birthday yet already having a gift prepared in the back.
So, weird thing because Breaking Bad kinda translates stuff without accuracy, but he actually says "I missed your birthday last month". So that's why he has his "gift" in the back.

Not a good time to lose one’s head. That’s not how you get ahead in life. He should have been more headstrong. He’ll never head up a major organization.
The problem was that he didn't get a heads up. That's why he failed to see this coming ahead of time. He shouldn't have been so pigheaded to the DEA. And it might've helped if he headed to another State or even country after crossing the cartel. He didn't keep his head cool enough for that.

Apenas y habla español ese señor machete pero igual esta buena la escena . El siempre dice que lengusta que me den la interpretación del "chico malo " para que vean como terminan siempre y tiene razon .
Lo que se me hace raro es que Bolsa, en Breaking Bad habla un español muy natural, pero en Better Call Saul si se le siente el acento, no lo habla tan bien como en la primera serie
You should have listened to The Godfather Kevin Samuels before marrying her and maybe you would have picked an FBI woman (feminine, beautiful, inspiration) and submissive.
In spanish isn't sounds menacing and isn't that obvious he was gonna be murdered, they translated talker with filósofo, should be hablador or boca floja, sounds more like being a rat than filósofo.
They usually drugged you up to keep you awake, skin parts of your body, remove others and break bones while filming everything with a crappy cellphone, everything with some music like funky town. It can last for more than half an hour of agony. He got it really easy.
