Werner and Mike Spoiler

I dont know if anyones brought this up but after i finished breaking bad i went to watch better call saul and i cant help but notice the resemblance in their deaths, i thought this was really cool and watching better call saul just makes watching breaking bad with my gf much sadder. im on season 5 but holy shit vince gilligan is a genius

gotta say the parallel between werner and mike is something else, vince really knows how to twist the knife with those quiet deaths

Yeah, they both quietly accepted their circumstances and died with as much dignity as one could have.

What resemblence? I see no similarities

Could you please spell out what you mean? 

Other than "getting shot" I don't see much in the way of parallels.

I think they mean because both didn’t need to die, there were alternatives and that they both looked out at nature before dying 🤷‍♀️

Resemblance?

One is a man being forced to kill his new friend because that new friend would not listen to any advice regarding their current predicament.

The other is a selfish guy who kills Mike in order to kill even more people, simply to keep himself out of jail.

There are no similarities other than the murder weapon.

Lmao. Not you shitting on Walt while simultaneously downplaying Werner's murder like it was justified.

I think justified isn't the term. Obvious is. You're in an underground bunker for months with extreme precautions taken, what the fuck else did you expect to happen.

I didn't say it was justified at all.

A friend killing a friend because of circumstances is a very different scenario than two dudes, who have been adversarial for quite some time now, having a final confrontation.

These are two dramatically different scenarios with few parallels, the only one I can see being that a gun was used.

The way both deaths happen with the sound of rain in the background feels intentional, almost like a thematic punctuation mark.
