Exactly . We cant say see saul helps criminals ! He's right either cause he been doing it by the book and getting shyt on by the people and the system . Even criminals think he's too low browalso as bad as saul appeared like I said before I think the Belize trips and stuff was really like someone suggesting the nuclear option to you when you have a problem to hopefully make you take a less drastic ( maybe still shytty option ) kind of like after a big argument like my marriage sucks ugh and someone say go get a divorce be in the dating scene at the age of 45
and we never saw his home life either . Really walt was probably one of the less offensive criminals he dealt with
By the way this goes back to my criticism of breaking bad (one of my only outside of mikes attitude but this show is addressing why mike acts that way ) ... In the end they didn't make walt as bad of a guy as they seemed to think he was . Like really even walt saying he did it for himself doesn't really jive with some of his actions like trying to save hank by sacrifice his money . I think walt unlike price realized he was a criminal and was like oh well if im a criminal I'll be a criminal but he wasn't really being a sadist or something just a highly effective criminal
Well the Hank thing specifically, if Hank dies Walt's family is over. Which is what happened in "Ozymandias". Even if Hank died completely separate from anything Walt did, Marie and by extension Skyler would blame Walt, because Hank was investigating him. I'm sure on some level Walt didn't want Hank to die, period, since he had known him for years....but on a basic completely logical level he had to realize "ok, Hank comes up missing, Marie is gonna snitch, Skyler is going to stand by her sister", etc.
