Jimmy DID change his behaviour. He got a job in the mail room, he worked his ASS off to pass the bar exam, worked night and day to build his practice. Sure he took a shortcut here and there, (and I don’t blame him, considering his brother shut down any legitimate way for him to succeed) but they ultimately harmed no one. Only when he found out that his brother, the person he wanted to prove himself to, deliberately sabotaged him, does he fall back into his old ways and TRULY start hurting people. Everything from this point onwards is on Chuck.

The really tragic thing is Jimmy ended up taking Chucks advice, or more accurately… Saul did

This one still hurts to this day.

The point of this series was who Jimmy was and who he is now theres a reason for that

Everytime i remembered this scene, i cry, jimmy didn't deserve this pain, his own brother. It's so painful and hard and heartbreaking.

"Then there's this show of remorse" "It's not a sho-" "I know you don't think it's a show" This is so cripplingly painful to watch as someone who was gaslit in exactly this way. Fuck Chuck, and fuck narcissistic abusers everywhere.

This is the moment the audience became sad

"You gonna hurt everyone around you" I recalled this just after Howard died

And this is how Chuck became one of the most important factors into Jimmy/Saul's descent...

Crazy how Chuck loved Jimmy yet Jimy couldn't see that yet both have to be so stern.

None of this would have happened if Chuck had just shown some love,support and respect instead of being a total ahole. Im a big bro and id rather die before acting like Chuck to my lil bro. Thats why i love this show and it resonates so much

still such as insane thing to tell someone even after everything they did for you out og geeling obligated to protect and help you due to blood and you throw it out the window

What is so fascinating about Chuck is that he was right all along about Jimmy going to hurt people if he does the things he does and acts the way he acts...he was correct....but he himslef contributed hugely to the way that Jimmy acts the way he acts and does what he does...

2:45 the way the lighting on chuck changes

“And you’ll die there…alone”

And the sad part is, Jimmy did skip the whole exercise.

“i always told you i’d get better you just never believed me” okay chuck you big dirty hypocrite

I really hate Chuck. He was right, but was he?

this was not very chill of him ngl

that was BRUTAL

Chuck: "I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I fucked Ted."

One of the saddest villain origin stories ever.

This arrogance became his undoing. Perhaps his greatest flaw too. He never realized how much he needed Jimmy.

That last line hit Jimmy like a cold ton of bricks. damn.

It's so obvious that Chuck's last words to Jimmy were a lie, you can clearly see him looking at an old photo of him and Jimmy together and hold back tears. Not a coincidence that he relapses into his mental illness just after meeting his brother and ends up committing suicide.

Looking back on it now, I suspect Chuck actually said this to spare Jimmy in the long run. He planned to die and this stab at his brother would help him get over his death which he must have planned

So much of what happened was truly Chuck's fault. His ego, his pettiness. He ruined lives so he could feel better about himself because he simply could not stand that people liked his little brother at all over him.

This is the moment Chuck became a bastardman

Why did they shoot this so dark? We don't even see Jimmy's reaction even tho' the camera swoops to it. This whole show was filmed way too dark.

Women randomly after dating them for 2 years

He was always jealous of jimmy that he would rather kill himself than admit he was better than him

People hate chuck, but he is right here. Saul hurt too mach people by his action and by abbusing a law.

This is the saddest moment that could ever happen to a family, that you look up to the most 😢

i despise chuck with all my heart

I think Chuck said that line because he knew his time was almost over and he didn't want Jimmy to feel super bad after he is gone. So, he said something that hopefully makes Jimmy hate him a little bit so that Jimmy wouldn't feel so sorry after Chuck is dead. Chuck cared about him so much but at the same time he felt so jealous in his entire life.

This scene and when Mike talks about his son’s death always brings a tear to my eyes.

What are your thoughts on Chuck McGill as a person in "Better Call Saul"? He’s an asshole. He may have had a different perspective than anyone else in the show since he knew Jimmy his whole life, but he loved the law more than his own brother and even though most people would commend Jimmy for working in the mail room while finishing his bachelor’s degree, getting his law degree, and passing the bar exam, Chuck did everything in his power to stop Jimmy from succeeding. He was the voice of opposition to Jimmy becoming an associate of his law firm and he didn’t even have the balls to tell Jimmy about it so he blamed it on Howard. Kim did a better job of explaining everything during Jimmy’s disciplinary hearing, but to summarize what she said, Jimmy was referred to as “Charlie Hustle” because of his work ethic, got his law degree and passed the bar without telling anyone at the firm including his brother, spent every day getting Chuck his favorite newspapers, food, and helping him adjust to life with his illness while Chuck’s animosity towards Jimmy kept growing. Jimmy found the evidence that the seniors were being cheated and wanted nothing more than to work with his brother on the case, but Chuck poached the case from him and gave it to the firm and did everything he could to prevent Jimmy from working with them on it. Jimmy did go through a lot of trouble to make Chuck look like an idiot at the hearing so that Kim could get her case back, but it’s not like Chuck didn’t have it coming and he was wiling to betray his only living relative because he was jealous of how charming Jimmy was. He tried to get him disbarred for life and even after everything that happened, Jimmy came to him to try to patch things up, and Chuck said the nastiest thing a brother could say to another brother before he took his own life. Jimmy may have been unethical in how he practiced the law, especially in comparison to Chuck, but he was a much better brother and probably wouldn’t have turned into Saul Goodman if his brother wasn’t such an asshole.

He literally put everyone away from him by himself. His death scene is disturbing but not pitiful

The creation of Saul Goodman

If my brother ever told me that I would cry for the rest of the day 💔💔💔

This scene actually helped a little bit for anyone who has regrets about something. It’s in the past, it’s done, stop torturing yourself and move on

Chuck is a horrible person

Only god knows what could have been.

i hate to say it again but chuck is not wrong here, jimmy always have the regrets but never changes for the better he hurts people and regrets it

jimmy's little "i can change" breaks my heart

He didn't have more respect for him when he started to hurt.

the lighting in this scene is masterful. Jimmy enters and is drowning in shadows as he professes his regret and Chuck's own face in rebuttal is well lit, as a voice of reason. But as he continues, he steps further and further into this darker and darker shadow. Meanwhile Jimmy's own face loses shadow and lights up more and more, not realizing that Chuck is actually laying into him. And finally, when Chuck goes "I dont want to hurt your feelings" they both become covered by the shadow again: Chuck as he drops one final painful bomb on Jimmy; and Jimmy as he finally realizes what's going on. Then Chuck steps back into normal light, like nothing happened; and Jimmy walks back out into a shadow. He turns one last time in disbelief, a little glimmer of light that maybe Chuck hasn't moved on, but as Chuck clears his throat in that normal light Jimmy turns back to the darkness.

Chuck killed himself because Jimmy beat him in court.

I don't care what anyone says . This is what really made Saul Goodman . Nothing worst than you trying your best and looking after a handicap brother (which is what chuck was for a long time ) and they say it meant nothing ...I'm surprised Jimmy never called Nacho to deal with it .
