How Better Call Saul Handled Death

[@mr.greasy6483]

Howard’s death felt like a celebrity death. Or the death of a neighbor. I think part of why his death felt so unfair was because Jimmy and Kim’s plan worked. They had no repercussions. They ruined Howard’s reputation assuming that he would be able to fix it. He had received more punishment than we wanted for him through the pranks, but death is final, and now he dies with the ugly image that Jimmy and Kim painted for him.

[@arvaakuka8568]

Another perverse thing I noticed in E8 was how Jimmy and Kim not only killed Howard, but they built themselves an alibi through the weeks of work they spent, thinking they would be ruining Howard's reputation, but actually they worked to save their own image. Howard's death was framed as a drug fueled suicide post hoc which only worked because the ground work had been laid down by Jimmy and Kim.

[@Jvaleezy]

Howard wasn't even in the game, and he got a gunshot to the head. Him being the wrong person in the wrong place, being killed and buried in an unknown location is a death for someone who's a part of the cartel, not some businessman. I think that's why his death feels so real

[@glennjanot8128]

@@arvaakuka8568 That was the idea though. What good would have been ruining his reputation if Howard had been able to prove that it was Kim and Jimmy who lied about it?

[@jamiehall-hanlon3104]

Completely agree mate, I physically recoiled and felt a sense of panic like you’d feel If you saw a family member be involved in a tragic accident. I was really shook like I’d seen a man get shot in front of me, how they built those feelings up is absolutely phenomenal. Never felt anything like it from a show.

[@nickasaro8789]

That’s why I totally got Kim’s guilt and her decision to leave. They were fucking around with Howard for pretty short term gain with the understanding that he would eventually get back up from it so they saw it as harmless in the long run. But now since he was drawn into their world and that got him killed, he never got the chance to do damage control and his reputation is in the gutter forever.

[@roble8943]

I feel like Better Call Saul and BrBd write death diffrently. In Breaking Bad death and murder are very much impactful but as the pile of bodies rise they sorta become just stepping stones to Walt's ladder of success and just like Walt himself you somewhat get numb to it to the point where by the time you see Walt orchestrate the assassination of nearly a dozen people and it's done so in a darkly humored way with calm music and a relaxing afternoon with tea as this immense violence is going on. BCS slower pace and more personal story reminds you that "No, these are human beings with lives, hopes, dreams and feelings". And it masterfully writes the death of a single character feel like the end of the world because no matter how desensitized both the criminal world or the audience itself is the death of another human being both should and would be this traumatic.

[@vivimos_en_una_sociedad7758]

Absolutely. Didnt even flinch when Hank died. Not only did we have 2 episodes of buildup to his death making it pretty obvious he is dead once the nazis show up, but it felt like he made his own bed with his nastu obsession of catching heisenberg, at the end even going alone and putting himself and steve in danger. Howard on the other hand fucking shook me to my core.

[@ididntmeantoshootthatvietn5012]

Its like where the random man in the carpark killed by the cousins while having shootout with hank, his death is not even mentioned, its not a big deal. And with bcs freds death actually feels like a death

[@anthonyag-si8850]

But "Ozymandias" just destroyed this view of coolness murder. Instead it shows how dirty the ways of murdering is and how destroying lives is really ugly. Above all It shows that we are all indeed guilty of rooting for the bad guy because it's cool until the ugliness comes finally to our eyes.

[@Dapryor]

“Art is a safe and controlled place where I can feel these emotions without them overpowering me.” That’s a hell of a quote. I’m glad you’ve found some catharsis in this show. Life hits hard sometimes but I’ve always found fiction to be a healthy place to feel these things.

[@panzerfan]

I love this nuanced view. Vinceverse is quite grim, so the memes are gallows humor in a sense. I don't think these meme can ever work without the context, but then again, Breaking Bad's plot is quickly going the way of everyone knowing that Darth Vader is Luke's father given the series' reach and influence on popular media; people know why Walt was quivering by and large and they can now laugh about it.

[@muhammadaliffbinmuhammadla7846]

Howard's death are very similar to Mike's, both confronts the main protagonist and calling out their behaviour and 'scam' activities, both eventually got shot and died tragically but the latter at least found comfort during his last 'processing' of the event, and get to tell his assailant to shut the **** up before going out. Howard's death is truly the tragic as it was soo sudden, but soo predictable yet soo begrudgingly disappointing for everyone (except Lalo) involved.

[@seth8580]

I’d argue it’s more like Hank’s death, you’re right about the similarity to Mike in that he calls him out for his BS but doesn’t get in his way (Hank tries to completely destroy Walter) but I think the way that he shares a close relationship with Jimmy and Kim, almost like family makes him more similar to Hank. The sense of betrayal he feels is the same as how Hank is betrayed by Walt. Even the way they die is the same, shot in the head mid-sentence by someone they never met as a consequence of the protagonists criminal involvement

[@rwbyab7423]

The death of Howard Hamlin was perfectly done, perhaps too perfectly. You're not the only one who had such a strong reaction to it by a long shot. I'm so grateful Patrick Fabian who played Howard did a number of interviews after the episode; it helped ground me back in reality to remember that was a show and nothing really happened to anyone. A story was just being told. If it weren't for that, I don't know if I could have processed the final moments of that episode and gone to sleep that night. I couldn't understand why it had such an effect on me and so many others, but what you're saying sheds some light on what we went through watching that episode. Thank you for sharing this experience; this was so much more real than any other video I've watched talking about the events of this season and I hope, ultimately, all the work you're putting in to understanding yourself through understanding these scenes will pay off.

[@freshshrimpproductions6047]

I think Point and Shoot has been the only tv show episode I’ve ever seen that’s really focused on the cold, black, nothing that is death. Jimmy and Kim have death lingering over them over the entire episode, and then the final scene was just the thesis of it all. That slow zoom out on Lalo and Howard’s lifeless expressions made me feel awful, a pit in my stomach. I’ve never felt that way before about death in media until that point. It scared me. Great analysis of this topic.

[@chineseobama6043]

This is the quality content people use KZbin for, absolutely beautiful video

[@chemergency]

Howard's death hit hard because of all the characters in the Breaking Bad universe he's one of the people who probably deserved it the least. The worst thing I could say about Howard is he was perhaps a tad snobby and privileged, but he was among the more honorable and honest characters in the series and he rarely if ever had any malevolent ulterior motives despite being at-odds with Jimmy and Kim's goals from time to time due to his close association with Chuck. It's like if Walter Jr. got killed in Breaking Bad or something.

This is by far one of the best analysis of BCS and BB I've seen on YT. Subbed and looking foward to your other videos. Howard's death made me jump from my seat. He wasnt just a character, we, the audience have come journeyed through and came to know him in the past 5 seasons, at time, we hated him but we all knew he was a good person. When he died, the way he did, it felt real personal. BCS is one of the best shows in recent times.

[@bones2you679]

I was also pretty messed up by Howard’s death. initially I didn’t know why it got me like that. In the episode where they held his funeral I absolutely bawled my eyes out. Hearing your perspective helped me sort my own feelings out about his death. He had grown on me so much and I considered him one of my favorite characters in the show. This was a truly great video.

[@DuraheLL]

I feel you 100% Howard's death felt like a total gut punch. It made me "grief" the loss of this - as you said - life like character. He felt so genuine and it felt way more like he was truly dead. Nothing has made me feel this way, and suddenly the transformation of Saul felt complete. I do however not think that any outside influence has lessened the impact of these shows anywhere. I did watch memes about these shows but never ever have I felt watching them has had any less impact. These shows are perfection of television, simple

The last two big deaths of Better Call Saul really hit hard for me, because I really wanted both Howard and Nacho to live through the whole show and get good lives away from everything else. But, Chuck's death is what really hurt me, around the time of watching Chuck's death and the following episodes, I lost two people in my life due to suicide. I had no one I could actually talk about it with, but seeing Saul, Kim, and Howard deal with Chuck's death each in their own way honestly was helpful to me in learning how to move on.

I empathise with you on this. I've had quite a few deaths happen around me, family members, friends, etc. However, growing up I had gotten pretty good at bottling up my feelings and coping through media. That was until I lost an acquaintance during the mid-season finale. Not that I knew this person at all, but somehow, it affected me more than I though it should. The hazy parts of the video where images are superimposed on top of each other and the voice-over veers off and fades into obscurity is the perfect portrayal of what it felt to process the death of this acquaintance. Whatever 5 to 6 days it took me to first completely accept this person is no longer alive and then grieve their demise definitely feels like what I felt watching Mike "take care" of Howard. This is one of the videos that truly touched me.

They showed his family in court grieving, Jimmy mentioned him to Mike, and Lalo eventually got his karma.

Art is interpretive, and always will be, regardless of the artists intentions. You can even argue that memes, to a degree, are a form of art. I don't think it makes something like Howard's death any less profound for you that people find humour in removing context from art. I don't necessarily even think the people making the memes find Howard's death a less important moment in the show just because they find humour in removing context from it. I recently lost two family members, one under tragic circumstances. While I haven't had the same experience grieving while watching Better Call Saul as you have, I have grieved through other forms of art, some of which I myself even find humour in. People are different and react to things in different ways, interpret things in different ways, process things in different ways and express themselves in different ways. That is the beauty of life, the beauty of art.

Way back in the early 80s, some people were up in arms about the level of violence in the popular TV show Hill Street Blues.

In my experience, since both shows represent death as such fatal and impactful events, along with all the impeccable writing done before and after it, I'd be so invested and immersed in the story (even during rewatches) that I'm completely able to separate the show from its memes as they have such polar opposite purposes, despite coming from the same medium.

[@juanbellido3930]

I find breaking bad and especially the better call saul memes super funny, but i think that's mainly because these shows had a huge impact on me.
