Ironically, his brother-in-law Hank being a DEA Agent helped him to go on undetected far longer. Any other DEA Agent without any personal or familial connections to Walter would've caught on much quicker when the equipment went missing.

Walt really was acting sus a lot. Like in that moment, Walt could have deflected it much better by jumping in and saying, "heh, as an expert on WW's, let me think ...". Or that duffel bag full of money, Walt could have said "chemistry notebooks". I grant you, I'm not "in the moment" so it's easier for me to be calm, but then again Walt is supposed to be the genius manipulator. Of course, some of it might be that he feels more powerful when he's toying with Hank.

I’ll boil the entire 50 minute video down to two words: Plot. Armor.

Walter White was too unassuming for it to be obvious to Hank. In fact, it was brilliant of him to figure it all out in the first place.

44:46 nice move, walt

Walt was seen by many as a genius underachiever loser. Biggest reason why it took Hank far too long to find out about the whole thing and it was by accident too. Otherwise he would’ve been successful pulling the whole thing off.

i've never seen a tv show/universe with such a dedicated/consistietly-inventive youtube channel. ( _maybe_ the office) this video is basically a 50min compilation of a tv show lamp-shading, _after the shows already over_ ps; a comp of every shot/angle that a character can be seen in a reflection; would be doooope. a comp of mike mackerel-staring mf's down, too. and one of all of walters freakout, "JESSE!! JESSEEE!!!! JESSEEEEEEEEE!!!!" moments.

Now please do a compilation about Chuck's EHS and that was all in his mind!

I always assumed he meant his life, at least up to the point of becoming Heisenberg, in the sense that it felt like a "prison" since he was trapped in this meek, underachieving lifestyle. Especially compared to his peers who were very wealthy and in high status jobs/professions, meanwhile he's a high school teacher who has to pick up shifts at a car wash just to get by. Becoming Heisenberg gave him a level of power and wealth he had never previously experienced.

Plot armor. The real Walter White was found out about the same time. If not a little longer. look him up there’s a vice documentary. he was not a high school chemistry teacher. He was just a really good cook, but he did use the Heisenberg system where he didn’t know any of the foot soldiers and street dealers. He only knew one distribution guy.

20:35 why do I feel like that was an idea for how jesse would go

So good

34:21 gone in 60 seconds reference 🔥letsss go

Walt didn’t want Gale to take Credit for his Legendary Recipe.

They came up over the Mountains, near present day Salt Lake, and saw land stretching to the Horizon. More land than they had just crossed, an Ocean of Land, and it crushed them entirely. When Hank gets shot and Walter falls down at 42:05, that is what being crushed, entirely, looks like.

I was just thinking the other day, "Should someone have caught Walt way sooner?" Thank you for answering the question that I had but didn't ask.

it would have been funny if later on in the series when hank is catching on he watches Walt do something similar to the barrel carry

To the closest call is when Hank picks up the heavy gymbag and asks Walt what's in it to which Walt replies, half a million dollars. Hank only should have opened the bag and find out that Walt told the truth at that point.

1:55 is such a Hal moment

Easy. His head is way balder than Mike's. Thats why he got away with it.

Walter was cucked by everyone. Likely his fault for not being a man but still he was treated like a loser by everyone he associated with. Hank constantly belittled, Skylar emasculated him and she even cheated on him, his son thought he was weak but did show him some real love. The man was a ticking timebomb and it took a cancer diagnosis to finally ignite.

Erm, cos the writers wrote it that way. What a POINTLESS video.

How? Well, because is a fictional character in a fictional world. Created by writers who are the ones who decide when he gets “caught “ So to answer your question, he didn’t get caught sooner because the cable network AMC didn’t want to.
