Breaking Bad - Part 14

[DyeLorean]

No, no, I wasn't talking particularly about Todd. But, in general. Gus is the type of villain I like watching the most.

 

[Siby]

I just finished season 5 episode 8 on Netflix. Wow, seeing Hank put things together on the crapper was awesome! Given how much I hate Walt now I am excited to see Walt get his comeuppance.

Hank can be a *****e but man he is a great detective. That guy can connect the dots and come to the right conclusions so many times. Too bad his superiors can't see what he sees otherwise he would have had all the crime in Albuquerque solved by now.

I don't know why people think Todd is such a top villain. Granted he killed that boy in cold blood but he hasn't done much else. Now Gus is a top-notch villain. He has class, he has discipline, he is super intelligent, and he as a sixth sense of what is going on around him. For example the scene in the garage where Walt plants a bomb under Gus' car. That scene was so incredible and tense. The cousins were great also but in a purely brutal way. They had one purpose and that's what they stuck to.

The worst part now is waiting for the next episodes to be available. :/

Todd isn't a good villain because he's a cold, manipulative mastermind like Gus. We already had that with Gus and now Walt. Todd is more of this weird, inbred killer kid. He's dangerous but he also seems like an innocent boy at times. It makes more sense when you get to know his family a little better. It makes him a good villain for a completely different reason than Gus.

Just binge watched all the last episodes. The alternate ending for the last episode was worth the price of the Blu-ray alone.

Well, you're talking about Todd before even finishing the series

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Seriously haha. That's like talking about Gus before season 4.

 

[flickchick85]

It's true that Siby hasn't gotten to Todd's greatest moments yet, but at NO POINT in the series does Todd even begin to compare with Gus on the "great villains" scale, imo. So I wouldn't go in expecting him to improve that much.

 

[Sawyer]

Todd was supposed to be a villain?

Spoiler

 

[hellblazer103]

i actually liked uncle jack more than todd for some reason. he had a bit more ..... i guess i'd say " charisma " about him despite being a sociopathic neo nazi ****in' prick.

 

[Siby]

Re: Todd. Wait till you see the rest..

Okay, I figured that there had to be more than what he has done from what I've seen so far.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Who do you hate more?" than who was the better villain. Gus is a better villain, but I hate Todd more because he hides behind this nice, polite personality even when he's threatening people and killing people. Todd is the type that would take me out to dinner, show me my favorite movie, and give me ice cream before shooting me in the head. It's very disturbing in a way. It's as if Landry from Friday Night Lights decided to kill people. We've seen pretty much every level of psychopath on this show.

What's also interesting about Todd is that he's a mirror character to Jesse. Jesse acts boisterous, and even straight rude at times but under that rough exterior is a gentle, artistic soul who has feelings, and could never fully get used to how cold hearted the drug business.

Todd is a guy who acts polite and has manners, but under his polite exterior is a cold hearted bastard who wouldn't hesitate to kill or torture and doesn't feel strongly one way or another about it. He doesn't care if he takes a life, and didn't care for people in general.

 

[flickchick85]

Yeah, Todd was a frustrating type of villain for me. The kind who didn't seem to "earn" his villainy, or own it, but still kept getting away with his heinous acts, if that makes sense, lol. He annoyed me more than anything else, but I never felt like it was anything but deliberate on the writers' parts.

 

[Lord]

Well, he does earn his villainy, he gets away with his acts because he commits them in order to get away with the actions he had already taken, he's basically indiferent towards the death he causes

Do you think “Breaking Bad” creator and executive producer Vince Gilligan should be #TIMEPOY? Vote yes or no

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Love Gilligan's work (Of course I said yes to him), but if I had to choose one I honestly would prefer Pope Francis... or Miley Cyrus.

 

[Ant-manic]

Yeah, Todd was a frustrating type of villain for me.

i found him to be an extremely realistic villain; a textbook psychopath.

 

[Sawyer]

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Gus is the king of all BrBa villains.

 

[Sawyer]

He's no Bogdan.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Come on Sawyer, imagine the internet backlash. So much much popcorn!

I've never quite seen a character like him before. A guy who isn't mean and doesn't seem to take any pleasure in the horrible things he does and yet does those things without remorse. Most psychopaths you see are overtly evil and crazy. Todd arguably wasn't even a villain in the sense that he only did things at the behest of others like Walt reiterating that there couldn't be any witnesses in the train heist.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Come on Sawyer, imagine the internet backlash. So much much popcorn!

Apparently the internet agrees.
