They are suppose to be these intimidating and menacing Terminator-like cold murderers yet they fucking suck. They only managed to kill mostly innocent people and when they finally locate an unarmed and distressed Hank, they both got killed like little bitches by him.

The weakest part of BB by far. They have to be the most poorly written villains I can remember.

The show is a Western in a heightened reality, it blows my mind that people constantly get tripped up by this.

Also, the fact that they keep killing innocent people is...kind of scary?

You need to watch them in Better Call Saul then...

What's the point of them killing innocent people when in the end they couldn't kill an unarmed officer in a 2-1 situation?

I'm still on season 3 so don't put spoilers past that, please

They got outsmarted too with the phone call to Hank. I thought their deaths were really well done.

I don't really get the point. What does them killing some people have to do with them not being able to kill Hank?

The twins aren't villains. They are unwitting sacrifices in Gus Fring's long game to consolidate power.

The point is that they failed miserably the first challenge they encountered in the show.

I feel like the writers wanted to give this Terminator type and failed hard.

That's because Breaking Bad is fucking racist and views Mexicans as robot monsters and women as sexual manipulators while white men are justified in becoming abusive murders because "we live in a society"

That show fucking sucks.

Definitely not the impression I got, Walter White was the clear villain that caused every conflict in the show and even when he died the song that plays pretty much says the lyrics "I got what I deserved "

And in the last episode he admits he did everything out of selfishness.

The twins are definitely the biggest victims of the show's "writing by the seat of your pants" writing, but the scene where Hank fights them off and the way it also develops Gus' character are both so good that it works.

Damn, that's sure a braindead take.

Naw, it's just a racist show. I'm sorry. The poor teacher with a mean immigrant boss gets cancer. Is able to plow over the entire Mexican drug cartel because he's just such a special little boy that the rest of the world was wrong to ignore.

Oh and the best bit, after all the Mexicans are defeated he faces the ultimate final boss that equals him....other white people? Fucking barf. I felt this way in 2012, I feel this way now. This show helped get trump elected and is why those racist dumbfucks want a wall. Fuck breaking bad.

Plus they synchronize their Every. Single. Movements they do. Not sure if Vince thought that was cool or trying to make a joke out of those two characters.

HAHAHAHA No. The show is fairly uncompromising in how it portrays Walter White as a narcissistic, manipulative monster who is no better than the cartel heads. You ignore how the main antagonists in the later series are white as well.

Regardless, the whole point is that there is no good vs evil struggle in the that world, just awful people vying for power and/or revenge

Actually Jack is a white supremacist who is specifically not equal to Gus. Jack doesn't want to be powerful. That's kind of the point. He's just a thug who is content to rest on his laurels while someone else does the work for him.

If the show has a "final boss", it's Walt himself.

Great. So I'll happily say this shit again.

1. He's no better? White is able to just decide to be better than people who spent decades in the cartel. Some white dude just shows up and shows them how it's really done!

2. That's the most outrageous part! He's un-fucking-stoppable until he faces off against his equals....other white people. That's right, white people were the only thing to match his abilities.

That show is fucking embarrassing

It was pretty silly how the one cousin slowly walks over to Hank, dragging his axe along.

I have to admit, it's funny how every person seems to think every show is a shonen jump manga. If a character is scary looking an antagonistic, then they can only go down in an epic final fight of ultimate destiny, apparently.

But Walter doesn't take out the Mexican cartel, Gus does almost everything to bring about the fall of the drug cartel and Walt was often working agaisnt him during a lot of this. Did you even watch the show?

Maybe you watched the Berenstein universe version of Breaking Bad. In this universe the cartel was taken down by Gus and Walt fucked up everything more complicated than barely staying alive.

You were so close to your bait posts being perfectly executed trolling until this.

Trolling needs to be more subtle and you ruined it here.

Yes, I saw every single episode. How does Gus die? Who does that and who sets that up. Who is the genius and who is the creepy monster man with a bell? Who is the human being and who is the fucking terminator who walks around with half his face gone before falling over.

Watch that show and ask, who gets to be human? Who is given tragic deaths? Outside of white guys, pretty much no one.
