Gus Fring and the 48 Laws of Power

[@earlpipe9713]

I love Hector's actor, he could radiate so much expression with no dialogue and only physical acting🤌

[@bullywhispers9544]

110%

[@swillm3ister]

He will definitely be missed. 🙏

[@nikolasmaes99]

Disagree, found him rather ridiculous.

[@earlpipe9713]

@@nikolasmaes99 The character itself was written as an extremely ridiculous man, though, one whom has literally lethal machismo, which said lethality of it only being aimed back at himself, his family and his allies at the level of the criminal game he's at for most of the show

What happened to you bully whispers?!?

[@briceedwards4662]

Hope your well, miss your videos

[@DanJuega]

Well, you do forget that his story is about revenge. So it's not really out of character.

[@barbiquearea]

That's right. He wanted Hector to live out the rest of his days in misery, having lost everything and everyone he loves. Not out of character at all.

[@gustavusadolphus6097]

We still need bob the builder laws of power

[@edelcrz]

Love the analysis it showed how Gus’s character dynamic is able to use these laws and adapt based on the situations he is in. Please do more on characters like Lalo and Walter white.

[@GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

Apparently Gus already knew Lalo would take Hector’s place before he ever appeared on the show. I’d assumed that he simply wanted Hector alive to torment him (which was no doubt part of the reason).

[@Jackal_El_Lobo34]

lol was expecting a Machiavellian Monday with this character but I’m down for the 48 Laws Power. 👍🏻

[@markadams8041]

Better Call Saul did an incredible job when they had Gus Fring carrying a handgun after he found out that Lalo was not dead. Gus was a man who hired men with guns, not a man who had to use guns. This literary TV show portrayed the discomfort of this vengeful drug kingpin very well. I can't imagine a writer conveying this better in prose.

[@b.b.6673]

Can you please do a show about how the cars symbolize the characters throughout the whole show. It's the biggest running theme through the whole BB/BCS universe, and no one mentions it.

[@gaulicwarlord]

Gus Fring’s biggest mistake? Not following the most important rule of power: have plot armor.

[@GerhardTreibheit]

rule 49, the most important one

[@nont18411]

It was activated that one time when he fought against Lalo. Unfortunately, it could only be used once.

[@Dmaj089]

​@@nont18411Haha almost agreed but if I remember correctly the set up for Gus using that gun against Lalo was shown way before his events with Lalo so it didn't feel like plot armor

[@michaeljordan8859]

He had the biggest plot armor in better call saul 😂

[@Dmaj089]

@@michaeljordan8859 he is Gus Front afterall. Only Heisenberg can break his plot armor😂

[@MrN0where]

Interesting video! Gus almost won but his main weakness was his revenge for Hector. The reason he kept Hector alive was because of his vendetta against him for the killing of Max. It the only thing personal to Gus while everything else was strictly business.

[@ellossszz]

I have yet to see one creator fully follow through on every law Won't happen

[@davidsmyth4184]

Great work as usual BWs. As an avid fan of both BB & BCS, I feel that Gus is, if you take away the boxcutter, a zero with shoe's.

[@keikosman]

You mean he embodied law 48 to perfection.

[@bugfact9279]

You should do a 48 laws of power analysis of Nacho Varga from BCS. He underplays his hand the whole series.

[@dtczyk8976]

I’m genuinely confused why you think his prime motivation is to be the drug kingpin this is definitely a goal of his but his primary goal has always been blood for blood.

[@wellsborie6897]

I think Gus' only goal before killing Don Elado was revenge. With the amount of money spent on building the lab, paying full wages for the German guys, losing a ton of money to the DEA, and letting chemicals expire because Jessie won't cook, he was presumably breaking even. He's also willing to work with Walt, a man with a reputation for acting WILDLEY unpredictable. Despite his pride, Gus HAS to have realized Walt could threaten to shut down his entire operation. I think he put everything on the line for the chance of revenge

[@earlpipe9713]

@Bully Whispers Have you ever checked out Gamorra The Series about the Camorra mob families in Naples, Italy? Not only is it one of the best all time mafia/crime dramas on cable or in cinemas, it'd give you years worth of content fodder with how you've set up your channel.

[@earlpipe9713]

🤔I guess the only problem would be if enough other people had seen it

[@bullywhispers9544]

Id have to check it out. Thanks for watching!

Sun Tzu once muttered, 'He who thinks he can conquer all with a bald head and an elaborate drug empire should also consider investing in a decent life insurance policy.

[@big_red01027]

The 48 Laws of Power remind me of Zote the Mighty's rambling from _Hollow Knight_ .

[@everennui1]

mouth to mouth resuscitation is not used anymore. it's more effective not to give the, "rescue breaths" anymore. that's my PSA for today. :)

[@PresidentBeavis]

I like the new video format. I hope to see more of these videos analyzing which laws of power are embodied or defied by certain pop culture characters like this.

let’s go. needed this

this was awesome!

[@bennygerow]

[@MohamedAssanhaji]

Well now we really need one on Lalo Salamanca: how their strategies differ, and plot armor a part why Gus won ?

How this make only 395 views, th8s channel is soo good

[@Lobotomy_Lover_]

How does it feel knowing that I'm the first person to watch and comment on this video? Btw could you make episodes about game of thrones?

[@CheeseCrumbs00]

yeah but on the books, 'How Macheivallian is Stannis Baratheon?'

[@Lobotomy_Lover_]

@@CheeseCrumbs00 Stannis was extremely just and honest so I'm not sure if he'd be that good of a candidate. I was thinking more of somone like Tywin or Littlefinger.

[@MrN0where]

Speaking of Laws of Power, would you make a series of it with the Breaking Bad Universe and more from The Wire. I find it interesting how it is displayed in these different shows.

[@jonathonjohnson1227]

Fantastic concept

[@WeirdenGilling]

You missed his biggest motivation. Revenge. That's why he kept Hector alive. So he could destroy everything and everyone Hector cared about as he watched helplessly, making his suffering last a long time

wow, thats weird, 48 laws & 48 comments.... I hear X-files muzak..

[@theravenman]

Gus is self-reliant more than anything.

[@Matheus-ho2qb]

Great vídeo idea, can you do a Thomas Shelby too???

[@goodnightvienna8511]

My guess, using the only available hints and tying them in to actual history- Gustavo Fring , “El Generalissimo” was a member of General Augusto Pinochets’ intelligence/ security police during the time of Chilean Military Junta. They were linked to and used ex SS officers who fled to South America after ‘45 . Colonia Dignidad was a training centre for the Chilean Secret Police who were instructed by ex Gestapo/ SS /SD . This may explain the connection with Ziegler..having to leave Chile after everything came crashing down for Pinochet and whatever happened in Santiago which again is hinted at . The way he holds himself, his use of psychological warfare..it’s all there. The Junta were nasty people irl and you can read about their horrific reign and they would have had many many Gustavo Frings. Fring is possibly an alias as the DEA could not trace him.
