Gus IS the embodiment of a corporation. Great PR, always positive and smiling, but mercilessly killing people behind the scenes.

"A life spent seeking revenge is just a suicide note written in the blood of your victims" is a damn good line

absolutely astounding how at 16:20 he says finger as soon as mike comes on screen, the editing is phenomenal

this man SIGHED before admitting raid shadow legends was his sponsor.

His very last scene in Better Call Saul is so sad to me. It’s like he’s consciously turning the light out on the last human part of himself

The scene where Gus invites Walter over for dinner is one of the finest scenes in the series, in my opinion. Really highlights how measured and frightening a criminal he really is.

I’m surprised Mike Ehrmantraut isn’t gonna be covered in the foreseeable future. He’s such an amazing character somehow being able to be ruthless and stoic but also sensitive and caring at the same time.

I’m almost willing to bet money Gus keeping the animal as a “pet” was facetious. Like Hector, I think Gus gave it just enough food and water to keep it alive until it expired from natural causes. Like Hector, the animal was a prisoner in its own body and death was a sweet relief.

I’ve been waiting for this one. A ruthlessly efficient businessman, a better Walter White. Gus Fring is powerful enough to cooperate and rival the cartel. He plays the long game and wipes them all out both as a means of revenge and to enact a monopoly on the drug trade in the southwest United States. Then he’s taken out by someone he continually underestimated and hated. A high school chemistry teacher with an ego even bigger than his.

I always had the feeling Gus was working for Pinochet. Something don Eladio said “You are alive because I know who you are, but understand, you are not in Chile anymore.” Don Eladio also calls him Generalisimo in Breaking Bad. And when Hank and the DEA search for Gustavo Fring and can’t find any records, Gus says it’s because many government records got lost after the fall of the Pinochet regime. Always had a feeling he was high up in the secret police of Pinochet or a similar position and fled when things fell apart. Gustavo Fring is probably not even his real name.

Mike definitely deserves an Analysis he is a text book definition of Anti-Villain and is a character type people can relate to more often than you would think.

I love how he sighs before he starts the sponsorship B-roll 😂

Gustavo Fring is one of my favorite TV villains ever! I especially love the scene where he tears off his shirt, flexes his absolutely gargantuan pecs, and says with complete confidence: "Last chance to look at me Hector."
I Fringed right there and then when I saw the scene. What a great villain :)

16:23 “in order to save himself being fingered in his plot.” shows clip of mike you knew exactly what you were doing

31:57. Bolsa and Eladio were blinded by all the money Gus was making for them and stupidly assumed he'd either gotten over Max's death or was too scared to go after them but at least Eladio had the sense to be suspicious like in BCS Season 6 when he warns Gus "I know you hate me but don't forget I'm your boss." He also waits for Gus to drink the poisoned tequila in Breaking Bad Season 4 before he drinks his not knowing Gus had an antidote. Bolsa, on the other hand seemed to only become suspicious shortly before the federalas killed him.

Gus is my favorite character. i love how cold, calculated, and ruthless he is while still being a little too good at being outwardly professional. hes honestly one of my favorite villains in media. he has his flaws but his pros more than make up for them in my eyes. i also think the show writers making him a gay man but only implying it rather than telling you directly was a genius move to prove that they can make a character complex but not unreadable. not telling us about his past also lets us focus more on the man he has chosen to become rather than the man he could have been. his OCD being both a detriment when rattled with anxiety and a major part of why he is so successful and meticulous is amazing. i could just go on and on and on about why i love him as a character.

also not to mention: bro STAYS dripped tf out

You missed one other moment of the real Gus coming out; after he’s treated for his self-poisoning, he hugs the doctor and sincerely thanks him in a way where you’d think they were friends that go way back. Interesting detail and it was one of the only times you see Gus totally vulnerable

Giancarlo Esposito's performance in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul was so impressive and impeccable that his incredible character has become an icon.

Seeing Giancarlo Esposito snap into Gus on a dime and then revert back so seamlessly so slightly terrifying but also really cool to see; he does it so effortlessly, like breathing air.
