Firstly Junior is a boss of the glorified crew and now he is also the head of meth operation many states away? What a guy

[@bradcarver8127]

Junior? I thought he died shortly after accidentally shooting Tony

Good Ending, but not True/Golden Ending. That said, I like a "Good Ending" from time to time in this verse!

[@genericwhitemale9566]

​@@RedMage_DoveiThere is no real true good ending. It mostly depends on who you're rooting for in the show. Walt getting away with everything would be a good ending to some but to others its him getting away with all of his crimes. Mike surviving is a good ending to some but to others it's a hypocritical murderer getting a good ending he doesn't deserve. Hank winning is a good ending to some but to others it's bad because Walt doesn't get away. It's all subjective. Personally, I prefer to see Walt win like he does here. Jesse getting a good ending is also good.

[@monkeyman5477]

Its funny to think about how Hank definitely had to wipe his ass during his dramatic panic attack

[@diegopinon5275]

I think Walter might live a lot longer, since he’s getting top of the line healthcare for his cancer, and watched by actual Drs. Not the disappearing guy give him back alley chemo treatment.

[@murgeproductions]

Diy chemotherapy

[@souptikchakraborty.yt.2024]

*BEST WHAT IF IDEA:* "What if Walt never got drunk during dinner with the Schraders after Gale Boettecher's death ??" Hank concluded that Gale was Heisenberg, and gave up his investigation completely. I think if Walt kept his mouth shut that day, all problems could've been avoided, as Hank would've taken his promotion to El Paso, and except for Hank nobody would've reopened the Heisenberg case.

[@joaobarbosa3845]

I thing the moment when things get messy is when Walt kill those two dealer to save Jesse. I thing, if in that point Walt just don't do nothing at all, Jese would get killed and Walt would be working happy with Gael. And it makes what Hanks says about Walt and Jesse true "When it's comes about you, he is different, he pay's you rehab, kill 2 guys to save you"

Todd wouldn't do that, he respects both Walt and Jesse to do that unprovoked. Maybe if Jack insisted. But I don't think Jack would be interested enough personally

Poor Hank. After being shot by the twin assassins he still hasn't regained the ability to piss like a man.

[@evaccaneer]

Walt finds major success in his blueberry wheat ale, “Brew Sky” in Farmer’s markets throughout Albuquerque. Using the proceeds, he opens a local chain of microbreweries, “Crystal Brew Persuasion” and finds happiness with his work and secures stability & wealth for his family.

[@dorianpage9593]

What if Skyler actually called the cops or told hank once she knew walt was selling meth. Instead of joining him she thinks long term and tell the cops before it blows back on them to protect her kids. Mainly tell hank since he is dea.

[@murgeproductions]

Hmmm, I can do that

[@Leonard_Wolf_2056]

The Breaking Bad "What If" video that a lot of us have been waiting for is finally here!

[@MidlothianOdyssey]

Favorite character is a tie between Gus and Lalo. Fav. support character gotta be Huell.

[@murgeproductions]

Better fuel huel!!!!

[@justagreenpear]

1:08 one of my favorite characters of the Breaking Bad universe is the diner waitress from the "Live Free or Die" fast-forward who suggested Walter (as Mr. Lambert) to have his meal for free since it was his birthday, an offer which Walt declined, and then the waitress shares her opinion, saying that "free is always good". And that was just such a memorable moment to me, because Walter as we know him, has too much of an ego to have something be handed to him. No easy ways out, no shortcuts, he has to do everything on his own, because that's how he proves his worth (at least to himself), and yet, there was that waitress, unknowingly completely disagreeing with Walter's worldview as she's saying that having things just be handed over for you is great actually. Just a moment of irony that I found memorable.

[@murgeproductions]

Pretty cool analysis

[@whaletastic9200]

i love how it also relates to the "free" of freedom in the episode title

[@rookie6480]

Two eventual what if suggestions: ‘What If Saul Goodman was in El Camino’? I know he wasn’t present because of concerns for how it would affect Better Call Saul but it would have been nice given his role in Jesse’s story. ‘What if Lalo Was In Better Call Saul Season 1?’ It’s an interesting thought of how he’d impact the show if he showed up earlier, especially since Peter Gould wanted him in season 1. Side note, I can already tell this will be an interesting vid

[@venusmilksheep]

What if Hank outsmarted Walt and Jesse? (as a nod to your most popular video) Hank arrests Walt and Jesse after finding them out in the RV, but it ends like that video where everyone dies, by either Gus or the cartel

[@Grumpollion]

No way Hank sits to pee. In fact, he doesn't even lift the seat. He just sprinkles everywhere and Marie sits in it later.

[@murgeproductions]

Lol

[@Lunamorphous]

You really think Marie would let him pee standing up in their house? Get real! Marie keeps a clean home, and a bathroom used by a man who pees standing is covered in dried piss droplets. The only chance Hank's intention was to poop is if he is like me and prefers not to sit on any toilet seat outside his own home unless necessary. As for the picking up of the book, I often read while peeing, as it frequently is the first chance I've had to sit for hours.

[@k.e.8414]

He is like a garden sprayer

[@UnwantedGhost1-anz25]

Imagine how Walter White would react to his alternate universe selves such as Malcolm in the Middle, Godzilla 2014, and Bryan Cranston in real life? 😂

[@Delta_Aves]

He'd be like "Who are these clowns?"

[@vanhestell8329]

What If Bolsa wasn't a complete idiot?

[@darthtader5802]

This isn’t a very realistic fanfic but what if right after the last breaking bad episode Walt as well as every other dead character in the breaking bad universe came back to life. They’d still have all their memories and therefore want revenge on who killed them. Again, not something that’s very realistic but it would be cool to see it explored.

[@Zim612]

I was not expecting that ending lol. I was half expecting Jesse to still burn down Walt's house. And if Hank wasn't there to stop him I imagine it being 10 times worse than the original lol. Good job on the story murge! Love your videos man!

[@jacksonkelly738]

Fantastic video as always bro! (May be a top 5 for me) Gonna shot my shot with this one, but I think "What if Walter Jr accepted Gus' offer for part time work at los pollos hermanos" would be pretty interesting.

[@elijahkling5676]

I thought this was the ending I wanted, but I’m so glad the show ended how it did. The plot of breaking bad was built around Walt changing into a monster. It’s much more impactful that Walt truly changed. It would take away so much from the story if the writers’ magically made Walt change back, because Walt’s entire character arc was to show that this was for him and his pride. Providing for his family was how Walt felt strong, powerful, and in control. He never once expressed wanting his family to feel like that; HIS pride was always what truly mattered.

[@BarryBBenson2-t9p]

There’s a couple what if ideas I would like to see What if Jimmy went to New Hampshire with Walter? What if lalo let Howard live? What if Hank joined Walter? (in this universe, he would probably be a dirty cop) What if Huell failed to plant the battery? What if the cops didn’t find Gene in the dumpster? What if Walter and Mike didn’t get in an argument?/Mike gives Walter the names/Walter realizes earlier Lydia can give him the names

Idea: Cancer was operable

What if hank died in the car crash that walt used to stop him from going to the laundramat

[@buzzytrombone4353]

The final scene is Walter lying flat on his back in his bed after he dies with the final look of expression being one of faint satisfaction as it fades into a scene of Jesse driving to college to learn something about Sports Medicine.

[@inactiveattraction7129]

Several ideas I would perhaps like to see in future videos. * BREAKING BAD * What if Mike sent Lydia to Belize? What if Hank caught Walt in season 1? What if Jesse managed to poison Gus? What if Walt was killed by the plane crash wreckage? What if Gus was in season 5? What if Todd didn't kill Andrea? What if Skyler never gave Ted money? ___ * BETTER CALL SAUL * What if Mike let Werner live? What if Chuck had let Jimmy into HMM? What if Jimmy had been disbarred? What if Saul had never seen Rand Casimiro's broken arm? What if Hector died from his stroke? What if Jimmy had been the one to commit suicide at the end of season 3? What if Kim died during her car crash in 'Fall'? What if The Salamancas killed Nacho's dad? What if Jimmy didn't take the Kettlemans' bribe? What if the skater twins didn't go to Tuco by mistake? What if Marco survived? ___ * SILLY ONES * What if Badger and Skinny Pete really WERE the two best hitmen west of the Mississippi? What if Mike had a kid named finger? What if Lyle showed Hector his bawls?

Nah, I think it honestly wouldn't have changed all that much. Jesse would still have had a guilty conscience. For hwhatever reason, he would still have told Hank, eventually. Maybe after burning down the White's house. He would have still been kidnapped by Todd & co. Hank would have prolly still been killed by Todd & co. Walter would have still been estranged from his family and would still have died. He still had cancer, after all.

I think Jack’s gang would have eventually kidnapped and enslaved Walt or Walt and Jesse since Walt was not helping Todd learn to cook and dismissing Lydia. This scenario with the Nazis kidnapping both of them and threatening Walt’s family too would be interesting. Also, Jesse finding out and burning Walt’s house down without Hank joining him may also still happen.

[@Nino-qk4pu]

Just a silly idea that is in my head for a while now. What if Walt actually went to prison and he comes across Michael Scofield for a Prison Break/Breaking Bad crossover. I would honestly love to see that.

What if Walter and Jesse switched places in ozymandias? Like, Walt rats out Jesse for his freedom, and instead of Hank dying it was Andrea and Brock following him into the desert and dying, and Felina and Granite slate had their major events swapped (Walt is enslaved by Todd’s uncles’ gang, Skyler dies instead of Andrea and Jesse rescues Walt in felina, etc)

[@Nevan_Nedall]

I don't think Lydia or Vaminos Pest are loose ends Walt could bear to leave unaddressed.

[@ceccascorp8149]

Too optimistic. 1- Jack would probably go after Jesse or haisenber either for his gang or to make olivia happy. 2- jesse loked up? Hank would no doubt go after him. 3- jesse would probably seek some explanation for Hank.

[@deltaV-1]

The video we've all been waiting for! Here's some scenarios I have in mind: What if Joaquin sent Jesse or Mike (or both) to Belize? What if Walt didn't save Jesse in Half Measures? What if the sniper guy sent Jesse to Belize in Bug? What if Tuco sent Mike to Belize in Gloves Off? What if one or more of the prisoners survived Walt's hit?

[@Delta_Aves]

For the second scenario, Jesse would obviously be dead, and Walt would not be too pleased with Gus and his dealers. I imagine afterwards, they'd have a meeting, and Walt would try to be calm and level-headed, but Gus would know he's not gonna just let this go, and suspects he'll try to retaliate. So, just like before, Gus decides to off him before he becomes a problem for them, bringing in Gale to learn his recipe, and Walt would be none the wiser, since he supposedly did everything right (doing his job, knowing his place etc.). That is until he's brought to the lab, and without Jesse to contact, he'd be killed by Mike and Viktor.

It is actually quite interesting how this is likely the perfect ending for Walter. He has all of his biological and legal family in the end, he has the money to do what he set out to do and more, he has a considerable chance of surviving his cancer (he has the money to pay for the highest quality healthcare (I think that is how the healthcare system works in the USA, I would not know since I live in England) to extend a life he would now actually want to live), and all previous criminal ties have now been severed. And yet it still is not really a “good ending” per se, since Jesse has been psychologically and emotionally destroyed by Walter, many have died for this ending to happen, many consumers of Walter’s product now face destroyed lives due to struggling with addiction, and several large-scale criminals escape incarceration. In order for Walter to win, countless others must lose.
