The Best ‘Breaking Bad’ Character Proved He Was Better Than Walter White
Here's what's trending across India right now:
Namely, Mike ( Jonathan Banks ), Gus ( Giancarlo Esposito ), and the sleazy criminal lawyer Saul Goodman ( Bob Odenkirk ), who made his debut appearance in an episode titled "Better Call Saul" written by Peter Gould . Cut to six years later, Better Call Saul hit our screens as the prequel spin-off story of Jimmy McGill, a down-on-his-luck lawyer looking to make a name for himself but fighting the urge to use his talents as a con-man.
Adding to this, Although the writers toyed with the idea of Better Call Saul being a half-hour sitcom in which Saul represents various interesting characters, the show itself ended up becoming a similar format to its predecessor. Naturally, the story of how the downtrodden Jimmy McGill became the Saul Goodman we know from Breaking Bad (something that took a full four seasons to officially happen) mirrors the story of Walter White's transition into Heisenberg.
Meanwhile, For this reason among others, comparisons between the two shows were inevitable, with Better Call Saul excellently surviving the enormous pressure, delivering an arguably superior product to the original. How then was Better Call Saul able to give Jimmy a finale that redeemed his character despite the six seasons working to demoralize and harden the Albuquerque lawyer? What made him so different from Walt, that their respective descents into large-scale criminality could warrant two very different fates for their protagonists? It boils down to a few factors.
Notably, The respective stories of Jimmy McGill becoming Saul Goodman and Walter White becoming Heisenberg are naturally similar in many ways, but one key difference is the way in which these stories ended, and thus, what Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould chose to say about the different kinds of men they were . While Walt, in his cruel and prideful downfall, was sentenced by the writers to both death and illegal infamy, Better Call Saul saw Jimmy turn down a cushy seven-year stint in a white-collar establishment due to a guilty conscience. It could be argued that Walt also experienced a guilty conscience in the finale of Breaking Bad , in his decisions to save Jesse ( Aaron Paul ) and, more effectively, admit to Skyler ( Anna Gunn ) that he did it all for himself, not the family. However, Walt had more to gain from this return to Albuquerque, specifically tying up all his loose ends, defeating his enemies, and ensuring his money would be given to his family. Jimmy's conscience, on the other hand, is personified purely by his beloved Kim Wexler ( Rhea Seehorn ).
